Roquan Smith

BAL Linebacker #0

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports Roquan Smith (hamstring) is “unlikely to play” against the Chargers on Monday night.

Smith was listed as questionable heading into the weekend, but the veteran linebacker didn’t log a practice this week, making him an increasingly long shot to be active on Monday night. After Monday’s game against the Chargers, the Ravens get a Week 13 matchup at home against the Eagles and then enter their Week 14 bye. Smith may miss at least one more game to have additional time to recover from the injury he suffered late in last week’s loss to the Steelers.
Aidan O'Connell

LV Quarterback #12

Raiders beat writer Vic Tafur said he expects Aidan O’Connell “to be back for Friday’s game against the Chiefs.”

O’Connell has been on injured reserve since October 21st after suffering a broken thumb in Week 7. While it’s not a lock he’ll make the start in Week 13, the option will certainly be on the table if the Raiders activate him from injured reserve. The second-year quarterback has thrown for 455-2-2 in four appearances this season and has made two starts. Assuming he stays healthy, O’Connell should have a chance to start the remainder of the Raiders’ games this season while Desmond Ridder serves as his backup. O’Connell has little to no fantasy upside at this time, even in 2QB/Superflex leagues.
Trevor Lawrence

JAX Quarterback #16

Jaguars coach Doug Pederson said Trevor Lawerence (shoulder) will practice on Monday.

Lawrence has missed the Jaguars’ last two games while recovering from an injury to his non-throwing shoulder. The team hopes to get a good look at him on Monday to see where he’s at in his recovery, leaving the door open to a potential return in Week 13 against the Texans. If he cannot start, the Jaguars would be looking at a third-straight game with Mac Jones under center. During Jones’ first two starts of the season, the Jaguars have been outscored 64-13, with Jones throwing for 249 yards, no touchdowns, and three interceptions.
Josh Downs

IND Wide Receiver #1

NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports Josh Downs (shoulder) is considered week-to-week but is “a long-shot” to play in Week 13 against the Patriots.

Downs played through a shoulder injury in Sunday’s loss to the Lions. According to Rapoport, the team believes Downs avoided a major injury, but he’ll likely miss at least one game while recovering. Downs has caught 53 passes for 594 yards and four touchdowns this season and is well on pace to surpass his rookie year total of 68-771-2. With the Colts on the verge of entering their Week 14 bye, Downs’ fantasy managers will need to find a way to replace his production for at least the next two weeks.
Jordan Whitehead

TB Safety #3

Fox Sports’ Jordan Schultz reports Buccaneers’ S Jordan Whitehead suffered a season-ending pectoral injury in Week 12’s win over the Giants.

Things felt like they were trending in this direction after Whitehead immediately left the field holding his pec after making a tackle on Tommy DeVito. The veteran safety did not return to the game and will now miss the remainder of the season with what is likely a torn pectoral muscle. Whitehead signed a two-year contract with the Buccaneers this offseason after spending 2022 and 2023 with the Jets. In 11 games this season, he’s totaled 76 tackles, three pass breakups, and two TFLs. He started every game he’s appeared in this season and will presumably be back for another season. That said, the Buccaneers can save $4.5 million against the cap by cutting him next offseason and wouldn’t have any dead cap space to worry about.
Cooper Kupp

LAR Wide Receiver #10

Cooper Kupp caught 8-of-11 targets for 60 yards and a touchdown in the Rams’ Week 12 loss to the Eagles.

Kupp managed just 33 yards on 10 targets before a 27-yard touchdown with just over one minute remaining in a three-score game, clearly taking a backseat to second-year star Puka Nacua when the latter is healthy and on the field. Even so, Kupp’s trip to the paint was his fifth score of the season for the veteran pass-catcher, still keeping him on pace to potentially hit double-digit touchdowns for the third time in his career while battling through significant injuries. Kupp’s next chance to find pay dirt comes in Week 13 against the porous Saints defense.
Puka Nacua

LAR Wide Receiver #17

Puka Nacua caught 9-of-13 targets for 117 yards in the Rams’ Week 12 loss to the Eagles.

Nacua handily led the team in both targets and yardage, continuing to operate as the alpha wide receiver when healthy this season. Fellow wide receiver Cooper Kupp managed just 33 yards on 10 targets before catching a 27-yard touchdown on the team’s final drive of the game while down three scores, with Nacua’s role in the offense clearly the anchor point from which the rest of the pass offense is built. Nacua’s next chance to return WR1 production comes in Week 13 against the porous Saints defense.
Kyren Williams

LAR Running Back #23

Kyren Williams rushed 16 times for 72 yards and a touchdown in the Rams’ Week 12 loss to the Eagles.

Williams found the end zone late in the first quarter as the Rams moved the ball well before the break, ultimately taking a 13-7 deficit into the half. They would then struggle to move the football as the Eagles continued to tack on points on the legs of Saquon Barkley, who became the first player since Julio Jones in 2016 to record 300 yards from scrimmage or more. Even so, Williams maintains one of the most robust roles in the league and should continue to return elite fantasy production the rest of the season. The Rams get a softer matchup on the ground against the Saints in Week 13.
Matthew Stafford

LAR Quarterback #9

Matthew Stafford completed 24-of-36 passes for 243 yards and two touchdowns in the Rams’ 37-20, Week 12 loss to the Eagles, adding 15 yards on his lone carry.

The Rams played the Eagles tight in the first half, holding a lead until a six-yard touchdown from A.J. Brown propelled the Eagles to a six-point lead at the half. Even so, the Rams managed just one first-half touchdown before the two passing touchdowns to Demarcus Robinson and Cooper Kupp after the break, the latter of which came with just over a minute remaining in the fourth quarter with the Rams down by three scores. The up-and-down season for the Rams continues as they fall to 5-6 and a game behind both the Cardinals and Seahawks in the NFC West. A matchup against the Saints in Week 13 could prove a pivotal game for the Rams, likely needing a win to keep pace in the division.
Dallas Goedert

PHI Tight End #88

Dallas Goedert caught 4-of-5 targets for 19 yards in the Eagles’ Week 12 win over the Rams.

Quarterback Jalen Hurts attempted only 22 passes as running back Saquon Barkley erupted for 302 combined yards and two touchdowns, with the only passing score going to alpha wide receiver A.J. Brown. Goedert remains in a short area role while either Brown or DeVonta Smith are on the field this season, with his aDOT in 2024 marking a five-year low. As such, he remains unlikely to return elite fantasy scores while maintaining a poor red zone role. Goedert’s next chance to return a usable fantasy score comes in Week 12 against the pass-funnel Ravens.
