Detroit Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs takes on the Chicago Bears in a Thanksgiving Day NFC North showdown. Gibbs has been a consistent fantasy force, scoring seven rushing touchdowns in his last six games and 10 total on the season. Coming off a strong 21-carry, 90-yard, two-touchdown effort against the Colts, Gibbs has now surpassed 16 PPR fantasy points in eight of 11 games this season. The Bears' defense has been vulnerable against the run, allowing the eighth-most rushing yards and 10th-most rushing touchdowns per game to running backs. Gibbs' explosiveness and involvement in the Lions' offense solidify him as a must-start RB1 in Week 13. Look for another productive outing from the young star on Thanksgiving.

Detroit Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs thrived in the Lions' 24-6 victory over the Indianapolis Colts, taking on an expanded workload after David Montgomery exited with a shoulder injury. The dynamic back rushed 21 times for 90 yards and two touchdowns while catching all three of his targets for nine yards. Gibbs has now found the end zone in eight of 11 games this season, establishing himself as one of the league's most consistent fantasy options. Gibbs has scored 16 or more PPR points in eight of 11 games and currently ranks as the RB2 going into Sunday night. With Montgomery's status for Week 13 in question, Gibbs could see an even greater role in an intriguing matchup against the Chicago Bears.

Detroit Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs heads into Week 12 against the Indianapolis Colts as a consistent RB1 option for fantasy managers. Gibbs has been electric, finishing as the RB6 last week after turning 12 touches into 123 total yards and a touchdown. He's a Top-6 RB in total fantasy points this season and ranks fifth in rushing yards, demonstrating his ability to maximize his opportunities. The Colts present a favorable matchup, ranking 28th against the run while allowing the sixth-most rushing yards per game and the second-most rushing attempts. Gibbs has scored five touchdowns in his last five games and surpassed 100 scrimmage yards six times this season. Working in tandem with David Montgomery, Gibbs remains a dynamic playmaker and should be locked in as an RB1 for Week 12.

Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown (knee) is officially active for Thursday's game against the Chicago Bears. He had been listed as questionable but was trending in the right direction after logging a full practice Wednesday. St. Brown has nine touchdowns over his last nine games, and he has tallied 71 catches and 747 yards en route to ranking as the overall WR2 in fantasy football this season. He should continue to be started in all fantasy leagues. Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown (knee) is officially active for Thursday's game against the Chicago Bears. He had been listed as questionable but was trending in the right direction after logging a full practice Wednesday.

Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown (knee) is listed as questionable for Thursday afternoon's divisional tilt against the Chicago Bears. After bringing in six of his seven targets for 62 yards last weekend, the star wideout popped up on the injury report on Monday with a knee injury. St. Brown sat out during Monday's practice and was able to improve his status each day and capped off the week with a full session on Wednesday. However, the Lions still opted to list the USC product as questionable. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status ahead of Thursday's kickoff but seeing him practice in full on Wednesday is a promising sign. After scoring just 4.3 PPR points in the season opener, St. Brown has gone on to average a stellar 19.9 PPR points per game since Week 2 and should always be viewed as a reliable WR1 in all matchups.

After being listed as a DNP on Monday, Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown (knee) was listed as limited for the team's walk-through practice on Tuesday. St. Brown is dealing with a knee injury heading into the Week 13 Thanksgiving game on Thursday against the division-rival Chicago Bears, but he's planning on being available. The 25-year-old pass-catcher just broke a streak of eight straight games scoring a touchdown in the Week 12 win over the Indianapolis Colts when he had six catches for 62 yards without a score. If active, St. Brown is a must-start WR1 in fantasy in one of the best offenses in football. He ranks seventh among all wideouts with 14.9 half-PPR point per game, and his nine TDs are second to only Ja'Marr Chase's 12 among receivers. The Bears defense has allowed the sixth-fewest half-PPR points to opposing receivers this year, so St. Brown will have his work cut out for him.

Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid (knee) missed a second consecutive practice on Thursday. The 25-year-old played in the Bills' first 10 games of the season before missing Week 11 due to his knee injury and spending Week 12 on a bye. There's still a chance Kincaid could play in Week 13, but he'd likely need to log a limited or full practice on Friday in order to enter the weekend with any injury designation other than "out." The second-year tight end faces an uphill battle to play, and if he does sit out Sunday's game against the San Francisco 49ers, Dawson Knox would be in line for an expanded role on offense.

Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott said that tight end Dalton Kincaid (knee) won't practice on Wednesday. Kincaid suffered a knee injury in the Week 10 win over the Indianapolis Colts and then didn't play in the Week 11 win over the Kansas City Chiefs. Coming out of the Week 12 bye, it's not a good sign that Kincaid is still absent from practice, but the 25-year-old second-year TE still has two more days of practice this week. For now, though, he should be considered questionable to suit up in Week 13 against the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday night. And if Kincaid is questionable on Friday's final injury report, it will mean fantasy managers might have to make a tough decision on him this week. If Kincaid misses a second straight game, Dawson Knox will have TE1 upside yet again. He caught four of a season-high six targets for 40 yards in Week 11 with Kincaid sidelined.

Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott said that tight end Dalton Kincaid (knee) has been ruled out for the Week 11 game against the undefeated Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday. Kincaid suffered a knee injury in the Week 10 win over the Indianapolis Colts and was unable to practice this week. The Bills have a bye next week, so hopefully the extra rest will allow Kincaid to return to face the San Francisco 49ers on Dec. 1. With the 25-year-old second-year tight end out this weekend, it means that Dawson Knox will have TE1 upside for fantasy managers, especially if receiver Amari Cooper (wrist) misses a third straight game. Kincaid was expected to have a much bigger role in his sophomore season in Buffalo, but he's only caught 34 passes for 356 yards and two touchdowns through 10 games in 2024. Those in need of a streamer at TE in Week 11 should look Knox's way.

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba continued his 2024 breakout on Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals. Smith-Njigba was clearly quarterback Geno Smith's preferred target on important downs in this game. Smith-Njigba caught his fourth touchdown of the season and led the Seahawks in targets once again. Smith-Njigba is building serious momentum. He has now recorded at least 110 receiving yards or a touchdown in three straight games. He is a top 10 fantasy wide receiver on the season which was not what most expected coming into the season. With Smith-Njigba seemingly finding consistency, he has entered the must-start conversation. The Seahawks do not have the worst schedule moving forward so Smith-Njigba should continue to produce at a relatively high level. Fantasy manager dreams are finally coming true for the 2023 first-round pick.

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba is in a great position to continue his ascending breakout in Week 12 against the Arizona Cardinals. This may come as a surprise, but Smith-Njigba is actually the PPR WR10 in fantasy and he has already had his bye. Smith-Njigba has been relatively inconsistent this season, however, his last month of football has been pretty strong. The Cardinals' defense is much improved in 2024 but still imperfect. They are No. 17 against opposing wide receivers in fantasy. With fellow wide receiver DK Metcalf likely to be healthier in Week 12 than he was in his return in Week 11, Smith-Njigba could take a hit in targets. Even so, he has clearly earned the trust of quarterback Geno Smith. Most importantly, Smith has been looking Smith-Njigba's way far more than wide receiver Tyler Lockett on important downs which was not the case early in the season. This should be a high-scoring game with plenty of opportunities, and Smith-Njigba should absolutely be in your lineup.

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba caught 10 of 11 targets for 110 yards in a Week 11 win over the San Francisco 49ers. Smith-Njigba led the Seahawks in targets and dominated the middle of the field. The question coming out of the Seahawks' bye was how they might use Smith-Njigba moving forward. If the last two games are any indication, he is going to be a focal point in the offense. Prior to his last two games, Smith-Njigba had been relatively inconsistent. He had a decent target share, but he was a middle-of-the-road wide receiver in fantasy. On a day in which quarterback Geno Smith only threw for 221 yards, it is encouraging that Smith-Njigba had 110 receiving yards. He is starting to build a lot of momentum in this offense.

Denver Broncos wide receiver Marvin Mims Jr. saw some work both on the ground and through the air in the team's 29-19 victory on Sunday. He ended the game with two carries for negative two yards and five targets which he turned into three receptions for 44 yards. Mims' speed and big play ability have made him a viable flex option in deeper leagues given the matchup, but he hasn't shown the consistency just yet. The Broncos take on the Cleveland Browns in Week 13.

Denver Broncos wide receiver Marvin Mims Jr. stayed involved in the offense in Sunday's 38-6 blowout win over the Atlanta Falcons in Week 11 after receiving a season-high seven touches in last week's loss to the division-rival Kansas City Chiefs. Mims caught both of his targets for 49 yards and his first touchdown of the year while also carrying the ball three times for a pickup of four yards. The 22-year-old, who also contributes on special teams in the return game, has given the surging Broncos offense a different dynamic the last two weeks, but his involvement hasn't been enough to really turn the heads of fantasy managers. That will especially be the case whenever Josh Reynolds (finger) returns from Injured Reserve. With quarterback Bo Nix spreading the ball around to a receiving corps that is suddenly ripe with options, Mims will continue to struggle to find weekly fantasy relevance.

Los Angeles Rams tight end Tyler Higbee (knee) remained limited during practice on Thursday. The veteran has spent this entire season on injured reserve, but the Rams did open his 21-day practice window recently in hopes that he might be able to return for the final stretch of the 2024 campaign. The 31-year-old is trending toward missing Week 13 against the New Orleans Saints, but the fact that he's been able to practice in a limited capacity bodes well for his chances to return before his practice window closes, perhaps as soon as Week 14 against Buffalo. In the meantime, Davis Allen and Colby Parkinson will continue to operate as Los Angeles' top tight ends.

Los Angeles Rams tight end Tyler Higbee (knee) had his 21-day practice window opened this week and was listed as a limited practice participant on Wednesday. Higbee remains on the Physically Unable to Perform list after tearing his ACL and MCL on Jan. 14 in a postseason loss to the Detroit Lions. The 31-year-old is back at practice, but that doesn't mean the Rams will activate him to make his 2024 debut this Sunday against the New Orleans Saints. In fact, it's unlikely that Higbee will return in Week 13, but he could make enough progress to play for a Week 14 showdown against the Buffalo Bills. Whenever he returns, Higbee will likely be eased back into the offense while sharing snaps with fellow TEs Colby Parkinson and Davis Allen. In single-TE fantasy leagues, managers can probably leave Higbee on the waiver wire.

Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay said that tight end Tyler Higbee (knee) will return to practice this week. However, McVay indicated that it's unlikely that Higbee will be available to make his 2024 debut on Sunday against the New Orleans Saints in Week 13. The Rams are opening Higbee's 21-day practice window to return from the Physically Unable to Perform list after he tore his ACL and MCL in his right knee in the playoff game against the Detroit Lions back on Jan. 14. The 31-year-old is finally ready to return to the practice field, but it might take him a little bit before the Rams are comfortable using him in a game. And when he is finally active on game day, both Colby Parkinson and Davis Allen could continue to have roles as the Rams ease Higbee back in. Higbee should eventually take over as LA's starting tight end, but fantasy managers should temper expectations.
