Titans TE Chig Okonkwo (foot) is listed as questionable for this weekend's game against the Jaguars. He participated in limited practices on both Wednesday and Friday. Should Okonkwo be sidelined, teammate Gunnar Helm would become a viable option in daily contests.
Seahawks RB Kenneth Walker (glute) has no injury designation for Sunday's game against Minnesota. He played through the same injury last week, logging a season-high 67 percent snap share and continuing to command the majority of Seattle's backfield work. While Zach Charbonnet remains a threat for goal-line and passing-down snaps, Walker is good to go.
Jaguars WR Brian Thomas Jr. (ankle) is off the final Week 13 injury report and will play Sunday against the Titans. He practiced fully all week, marking his first game action since Week 9 after a high-ankle sprain. Despite a disappointing season pre-injury, he's expected to be a WR3 option.
Cardinals RB Emari Demercado (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game in Tampa Bay. He has not practiced since sustaining a high-ankle sprain in Week 11, though he was seen working with the rehab group on Friday. Demercado's next opportunity to play will be Sunday, December 7, against the Rams. With Trey Benson (knee, IR) also out, Zonovan Knight (knee, questionable) and Michael Carter are expected to handle backfield duties for Arizona in Week 13.
Cardinals RB Zonovan Knight (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers. Despite a limited week of practice, he is expected to play. Teammates Trey Benson (knee) and Emari Demercado (ankle) have already been ruled out for Week 13, potentially increasing Knight's workload. Further updates on his status are anticipated before kickoff.
Cardinals RB Trey Benson (knee) has been officially ruled out for Week 13's game against the Buccaneers. He is currently on Injured Reserve. His absence, along with Emari Demercado (ankle) also being out, leaves Zonovan Knight (knee, questionable) and Michael Carter as the likely candidates for reps in the Cardinals backfield.
Cardinals WR Michael Wilson has broken out over the last two weeks. While Marvin Harrison Jr.'s anticipated return from an appendectomy dings Wilson's fantasy outlook, he is still considered a viable fantasy start for Week 13. Harrison Jr. is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers.
After serving a six-week suspension and missing Kansas City's bye, Rashee Rice is now being evaluated for his fantasy impact. Despite missing half the regular season, fantasy managers with risk tolerance viewed him as an elite talent with league-winning upside, and his recent play has validated that potential.
Dolphins TE Darren Waller (pectoral) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Saints. He was designated for return from injured reserve Wednesday and has logged three straight limited practices. Coach Mike McDaniel expressed optimism about Waller's chances to suit up, provided there are no setbacks. The Dolphins must activate him from IR by Saturday afternoon for him to be active. Waller would be a tough fantasy trust in his first action since Week 7.
Saints RB Devin Neal (ankle) has no injury designation for Sunday's game against Miami and is the likely starter in place of Alvin Kamara (knee). Neal played 86% of snaps last week. While he's expected to get most snaps and touches, it may not be an every-down role, with Audric Estime, Evan Hull, Ian Wheeler, and Taysom Hill also potentially seeing carries.
Saints RB Alvin Kamara (knee) will not play Sunday against the Dolphins after not practicing all week. Coach Kellen Moore stated Kamara won't be placed on injured reserve despite potentially missing time beyond Sunday. Devin Neal is expected to start in his place.
Saints WR Chris Olave (back) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Dolphins. Olave experienced back spasms on Wednesday, did not practice on Thursday, but was able to return to a limited practice on Friday. His status for the game will be confirmed closer to kickoff.
Max Brosmer will start at quarterback for the Minnesota Vikings in Sunday's game against the Seahawks. Coach Kevin O'Connell confirmed the decision, as J.J. McCarthy remains sidelined in concussion protocol.

Isiah Pacheco returned to action for the Chiefs after missing three games with a sprained MCL. However, he saw a limited role in the backfield, being out-snapped by Kareem Hunt 42-20 and receiving only 3 carries compared to Hunt's 14.
Kareem Hunt maintained control of the Chiefs' backfield in their 31-28 loss, leading in playing time and opportunities despite Isiah Pacheco's return from a sprained MCL. Hunt out-snapped Pacheco 42-20 and held a significant 14-3 edge in carries.
With Drake London (knee) ruled out for Week 13, Darnell Mooney is set to be the Atlanta Falcons' top wide receiver against the Jets. Last week, Mooney scored a touchdown while playing alongside David Sills and Dylan Drummond, who saw increased snaps. Despite his touchdown, Mooney only drew three targets in a game where Kirk Cousins attempted just 23 passes. His role is elevated due to London's continued absence, making him a key target for Atlanta's offense.
