Cleveland Browns quarterback Jameis Winston addressed his future with the team, explaining that he wants to remain with the organization but also acknowledges that that decision falls on the front office. "When I think about my family, I think about moving my kids, my wife having to find new friends," Winston said. "I think anytime where you're able to solidify a role and a place and play good at that place, you like to be home. However, that's out of my control." He also noted his appreciation for the city's natural beauty, the community's hard-nosed attitude toward Browns football, and fans holding him to high standards while pushing him to be the best version of himself. Winston, who has completed 62.2 percent of his passes for 1,266 yards, seven touchdowns, and four interceptions this year, will become an unrestricted free agent in February. The Browns previously expressed their desire to bring in quarterback competition for Deshaun Watson, but they haven't publicly singled out Winston for that job.

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver KaVontae Turpin converted five targets into four catches for a team-high 53 receiving yards during Thursday's Week 13 win over the New York Giants. Turpin is primarily a special teams contributor and is typically inconsistent on offense, but we can't ignore that he has three-plus catches and 50-plus yards in two of his last three games. His expanded role was particularly surprising this week given that Brandin Cooks made his return from injured reserve, so Turpin was fourth on the depth chart. The 28-year-old should be avoided in leagues with 14 or fewer teams, but he's at least worth monitoring in deeper formats.

Dallas Cowboys tight end Luke Schoonmaker caught five of six targets for 33 yards during Thursday's Week 13 win over the New York Giants. Schoonmaker established himself early in the contest as four of his five catches came within the first 32 minutes of the game. The 26-year-old has been playing quite admirably in the absence of Jake Ferguson (concussion). Over the last three games, he has 14 catches, 144 yards, one touchdown, and 34.4 fantasy points (PPR). Schoonmaker projects to drop off the fantasy radar as soon as Ferguson returns. However, if Ferguson can't play in Week 14, Schoonmaker would remain an intriguing low-end TE1 option.

Detroit Lions kicker Jake Bates went three-for-four on field goal attempts and converted both extra point tries in the Lions' 23-20 win over the Chicago Bears in Week 13. Bates' performance marked his sixth double-digit fantasy output of the season, bolstered by Detroit's ability to consistently create scoring opportunities. Bates remains one of the most reliable kickers in fantasy football this year. He'll aim for another strong showing as the Lions host the Green Bay Packers on Thursday Night Football in Week 14.

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb caught just two of six targets for 39 yards during Thursday's Week 13 win over the New York Giants. Lamb finished the contest having played a season-low 68 percent of the offensive snaps, spending a good portion of the second half on the sideline without his helmet. It's unclear if Lamb was sidelined due to performance or injury. It's worth noting that he did seem to react to a potential shoulder injury after being taken down by a defender, but the Cowboys never made any sort of injury report announcement regarding Lamb. Regardless of whether he's injured, fantasy managers can be rightfully disappointed about Lamb's quiet showing in a game where other Dallas pass-catchers, such as Brandin Cooks, KaVontae Turpin, and Luke Schoonmaker, thrived. If healthy, Lamb will look to bounce back as a low-end WR1 in fantasy football against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 14.

Detroit Lions tight end Sam LaPorta caught three passes for just six yards but managed to find the end zone twice in the Lions' 23-20 win over the Chicago Bears in Week 13. LaPorta's touchdowns were crucial for both the Lions' victory and his fantasy output, tying his second-highest fantasy performance of the season. While the volume left much to be desired, his red zone involvement keeps him as a streamable option moving forward. LaPorta will look to retain his scoring streak when Detroit hosts the Green Bay Packers on Thursday Night Football in Week 14.

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Brandin Cooks found paydirt for the first time since Week 1 during the team's Thanksgiving win over the New York Giants. He hauled in three of his seven targets for 16 yards and a touchdown. This was his first game back after a seven-game absence and he tied his season-high in targets. Despite his lack of production, Cooks averages 6.5 targets per game this season. His next chance to capitalize on those targets will be against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 14.

Detroit Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams caught five passes for 28 yards and added two rushing attempts for 18 yards in the Lions' 23-20 win over the Chicago Bears in Week 13. Despite being involved in both the passing and rushing game, Williams was unable to deliver a strong fantasy performance, marking just the third time this season he failed to reach double-digit fantasy points. He will aim to bounce back in a divisional matchup when Detroit hosts the Green Bay Packers on Thursday Night Football in Week 14.

Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown recorded five receptions on seven targets for 73 yards in the Lions' 23-20 win over the Chicago Bears in Week 13. After an impressive eight-game touchdown streak, St. Brown has now gone back-to-back weeks without finding the end zone. Still, his consistency remains a bright spot, as he has hauled in at least five catches in nine of 12 games this year. St. Brown will look to regain his scoring touch when the Lions host the Green Bay Packers on Thursday Night Football in Week 14.

Detroit Lions running back David Montgomery carried the load during the team's 23-20 win over the Chicago Bears in Week 13. Montgomery logged 21 rush attempts, his second-highest total this season, for 88 yards, while also catching all three of his targets for an additional 36 yards. Montgomery's steady volume led to yet another reliable fantasy outing, marking his eighth game this season with 15 or more fantasy points. As a cornerstone of Detroit's offense, he'll aim to maintain his momentum in a Week 14 Thursday Night Football matchup against the Green Bay Packers.
