J.K. Dobbins

LAC Running Back #27

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports J.K. Dobbins (knee) is out for Week 13 against the Falcons.

Dobbins, who sustained a knee sprain last week against the Ravens, could miss more than this Sunday’s game against Atlanta, according to Rapoport. Gus Edwards will likely operate as the Chargers’ lead back with Dobbins sidelined, and rookie Kimani Vidal could take on pass game work. Hassan Haskins, meanwhile, will threaten Edwards’ goal line role. Edwards is nothing more than a touchdown-dependent RB2 for Week 13.
Taysom Hill

NO Tight End #7

Saints interim head coach Darren Rizzi said Taysom Hill is a “huge part” of the team’s offense.

“I think our usage with him these last couple weeks is really what we’re kind of trying to trend towards,” Rizzi said Tuesday. “A little bit of everything, not too much of anything. He’s obviously a huge part of what we do… The more he’s on the field, the more effective we’ve been, in all the times I’ve been here.” Coming off a 138 yard, three-touchdown performance against the Browns in Week 11, Hill — who has 31 touches over his past three games — seems locked in for double digit touches this week against a soft Rams defense. Against the Browns, Hill ran a route on 18 of the team’s 28 drop backs. He should be considered a top-10 fantasy option for now.
Chris Olave

NO Wide Receiver #12

Saints interim coach Darren Rizzi said Chris Olave (concussion/IR) is “in a good place.”

Rizzi added that Olave has seen several specialists and has another appointment coming up soon. The earliest Olave could come off IR is in Week 15. He was seen observing practice today — the Saints are taking Thursday off — but until he practices or we hear something more firmly optimistic about this season, we wouldn’t hold out hope of Olave playing again in 2024.
Chris Rodriguez Jr.

WAS Running Back #36

Commanders signed RB Chris Rodriguez to their active roster.

That may as well be a glaring siren that at least one of Austin Ekeler (concussion) and Brian Robinson Jr. (ankle) are going to be hard to trust this week. Jeremy McNichols is the only healthy back on the Commanders roster. It’s possible that Rodriguez gets as far up the pecking order as lead committee back this week if both Ekeler and Robinson sit. He’s a potentially worthwhile waiver claim in deeper leagues.
David Montgomery

DET Running Back #5

David Montgomery (shoulder) was limited in practice on Tuesday.

Combine the upgrade from a Monday DNP with Dan Campbell saying he was feeling good about Montgomery’s chances and we have a much more optimistic outlook on Montgomery playing in Week 13 than we did 24 hours ago. Montgomery will be on the RB1 line against the Bears in what projects as a decisive Lions win.
Aaron Rodgers

NYJ Quarterback #8

Aaron Rodgers told the Pat McAfee Show that he hasn’t decided yet if he wants to play in 2025, but that his No. 1 choice would be to come back to the Jets.

Rodgers likely won’t have much say in the matter with the Jets as the team’s new general manager and head coach will be given the keys to do what they want at the quarterback position. The idea that Rodgers could retire is also an unsurprising flag to raise given the punishment his 40-year-old body has taken this year, as well as his need to feel like he has agency in his future destination. We’re genuinely curious at this point if any team would want to have Rodgers as a stopgap in 2025.
Tommy DeVito

NYG Quarterback #15

Giants coach Brian Daboll said Tommy DeVito has a forearm injury and will be limited in practice Tuesday.

Daboll added that he was “hopeful” that DeVito would play on Thursday but it was “not 100 percent” and Drew Lock is getting reps in practice today. It certainly seems to be trending towards DeVito not playing despite DeVito not even being listed on the initial injury report this week. Either Lock or DeVito would be bottom-basement superflex plays against the Cowboys on Thanksgiving.
Aidan O'Connell

LV Quarterback #12

NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero reports Raiders QB Aidan O’Connell will start Week 13 against the Chiefs.

The Raiders lost Gardner Minshew to a broken collarbone in Week 12’s loss to the Broncos, giving O’Connell another chance as starter. O’Connell has been miserable throughout his 11 NFL starts. That includes two 2024 starts in which he threw for 324 yards, one touchdown, and two interceptions. Indecisive and inaccurate, O’Connell represents a massive downgrade for Brock Bowers and Jakobi Meyers over the season’s final month. Look for Desmond Ridder to eventually get a chance under center for the Raiders.
Mike McCarthy

DAL Head Coach

Cowboys owner Jerry Jones did not rule out a contract extension for head coach Mike McCarthy.

“I don’t think that’s crazy at all,” Jones said during a Tuesday radio interview when asked about McCarthy’s future in Dallas. “This is a Super Bowl-winning coach. Mike McCarthy has been there and done that. He has great ideas. We got a lot of football left.” McCarthy, who took over as the team’s head coach in 2020, posted three straight 12-win regular seasons before this year’s disappointing campaign. The Cowboys sit at 4-7 with Dak Prescott (hamstring) done for the season and the defense as bad as any in the NFL. Perhaps Jones is trying to keep up appearances in the final month of the regular season. McCarthy is likely done in Dallas unless the team wins most of its final six games.
Jameson Williams

DET Wide Receiver #9

ESPN’s Eric Woodyard reports Lions WR Jameson Williams will avoid legal action against him related to an October 8 traffic stop.

Williams was pulled over late at night with two firearms in a vehicle driven by his brother. The weapons did not belong to Williams. The Wayne County prosecutor’s office “concluded that the warrant was denied because the case law is silent regarding the specific issue and the legislative intent of the concealed pistol license (CPL) statute does not support charges under these facts,” Woodyard reported. Prosecutor Kym Worthy said in a statement that Williams’ status as a Lions receiver did not factor into the decision. “We did not consider that Mr. Williams is a Detroit professional athlete in our decision making,” Worthy said. Williams will suit up on Thanksgiving Day against the Bears a week after going for 64 yards on five catches against the Colts.
