Waller (pectoral) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Saints.

Waller, who last saw game action in Week 7, had his 21-day practice window opened Wednesday and then logged three straight limited practices before being listed as questionable for Sunday's contest. The tight end was subsequently activated from IR on Saturday, setting the stage for his return to action versus New Orleans. Prior to being sidelined, Waller caught 10 passes (on 12 targets) for 117 yards and four touchdowns in four games, and now that he's back in the mix, he'll join WRs Jaylen Waddle and Malik Washington along with RB De'Von Achane as one of the Dolphins' top options in the passing game, a context that makes him worthy of roster/lineup consideration for those in need of TE help in Week 13 and beyond.

Wilson finished with five tackles (two solo) and a forced fumble in Thursday's 31-28 win over the Chiefs.

The safety also played on more than 80 percent of the defensive snaps for the third straight game since returning from an elbow injury that forced him to miss two contests. Wilson has been on the field for most of Dallas' defensive snaps this season when healthy. He has 49 tackles (30 solo), four pass breakups, including two interceptions, and now a forced fumble on the year.

Knight (knee) is listed as active Sunday in Tampa Bay.

Knight has battled lower-body injuries at times over the last month and a half, with a knee issue limiting him at all three Week 13 sessions and leaving him questionable for Sunday's contest. Now that he's confirmed to be available, he appears poised to get a majority share of the Cardinals' backfield reps considering Trey Benson (knee) remains on injured reserve and Emari Demercado is sitting out a second straight game due to a high-ankle sprain. Over the last five outings with various RB personnel available for Arizona, Knight has tallied 221 yards from scrimmage and two rushing TDs on 62 touches. Michael Carter is Knight's greatest threat to take on snaps.

Irving (shoulder/foot) is active for Sunday's game against the Cardinals.

Though he carried a questionable tag into Sunday, Irving will end up being cleared to play, as expected, after he logged a trio of full practices this week. The second-year back will be suiting up for the first time since Week 4, and because of the length of his absence due to a subluxation of his left shoulder as well as a sprained left foot, Irving is expected to be eased back into the mix with a lighter workload than usual. Head coach Todd Bowles hasn't provided any specifics regarding what sort of limitations Irving might be under, so the 23-year-old could carry some risk as a fantasy lineup option for Week 13. Sean Tucker and Rachaad White are still expected to have roles in the game plan, though both could see their snaps scaled back compared to previous weeks now that Irving is back in the fold.

Olave (back) is listed as active Sunday at Miami.

Olave exited Wednesday's practice early due to a back injury, going down as a limited participant in the process. He was held out of drills entirely Thursday, but a capped session Friday led to a questionable designation for Week 13 action. Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reported Saturday evening that Olave, who battled back spasms during the week, was slated to suit up for Sunday's game, which now has been confirmed. In three starts with rookie QB Tyler Shough under center, Olave has accrued a 17-231-1 line on 25 targets, making him an easy plug-and-play option for fantasy purposes.

Mayfield (shoulder) is active for Sunday's game against the Cardinals.

After sustaining a low-grade AC joint sprain to his non-throwing shoulder in last Sunday''s 34-7 loss to the Rams, Mayfield sat out the Buccaneers' first practice of the week Wednesday before advancing to limited activity Thursday and then a full session Friday. Though he ultimately took a questionable tag into the weekend, Mayfield was fully expected to start Sunday, and his availability for the matchup with Arizona has now been confirmed. Mayfield will be joined in the Tampa Bay backfield by top running back Bucky Irving (shoulder/foot), who is active for the first time since Week 4.

Odighizuwa recorded four tackles in Thursday's 31-28 win over the Chiefs.

The defensive tackle also played on 59 percent of the defensive snaps. Odighizuwa has played on more than half of the defensive snaps in every game this season, recording 34 total tackles (13 solo), including 3.0 sacks.

Warren (illness) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Texans.

Warren wasn't on the Colts' injury report as of Friday, but the tight end was added to it Saturday and deemed questionable for Sunday's contest due to an illness that Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports was a stomach virus. With his active status versus Houston confirmed, Warren should continue to maintain his prominent role in the Colts' passing offense in Week 13. Through 11 games, the 2025 first-rounder has put up a fantasy-friendly 55/662/3 receiving line on 74 targets.

Harrison (appendix) is active for Sunday's game at Tampa Bay.

In the wake of a Week 12 loss to the Jaguars, coach Jonathan Gannon said last Monday that Harrison didn't have a timeline for a return to action after missing the past two contests due to appendicitis, per Bo Brack of GoPHNX.com. Harrison then mixed into drills Wednesday and maintained limited activity through Friday before the Cardinals tagged him as questionable to play Sunday. Adam Schefter of ESPN reported Saturday evening that Harrison was in line to suit up this weekend, which now will come to pass. Considering he may not be running at full capacity, though, Harrison may take a back seat to TE Trey McBride and fellow WR Michael Wilson in terms of targets from QB Jacoby Brissett.

Bland finished with three solo tackles in Thursday's 31-28 win over the Chiefs.

The cornerback also played on 86 percent of the defensive snaps. Bland has played on at least 64 percent of the defensive snaps in every game he's been available for this season, recording 62 total tackles (39 solo) and five pass breakups, including an interception.
