Smith recorded 11 tackles (three solo) during Thursday's 32-14 loss versus the Bengals.

Smith tallied double-digit tackles for the fourth time in his last six games, and he's now on the precipice of his seventh 100-tackle season as a pro. He's a good IDP option in most formats going into a Week 14 tilt versus the Steelers.

Carter recorded five tackles (three solo) during Thursday's 32-14 win at Baltimore.

In a game during which the normally run-heavy Ravens kept the ball in the air for most of the contest, Carter saw limited opportunities to make tackles in Week 13. He still projects as a good IDP option in most formats, and he'll get a shot against another run-heavy squad at Buffalo in Week 14.

Ali turned four carries into 17 yards and three kickoff returns into 71 yards during the Ravens' 32-14 loss to the Bengals on Thursday.

Ali had just four touches on offense during Thursday's loss, though his 29 snaps were notably higher than RB1 Derrick Henry (24) as game script worked against the latter. Ali figures to serve as the Ravens' RB2 behind Henry and ahead of Keaton Mitchell for as long as Justice Hill (neck) is on injured reserve.

Mitchell turned two carries into 19 yards and a touchdown while adding two catches (on three targets) for 12 yards during the Ravens' 32-14 loss to the Bengals on Thursday. He also logged 91 return yards on three kickoffs.

Mitchell saw the field for just eight snaps on offense, but he made the most of his limited opportunities with four touches, including an 18-yard touchdown run late in the third quarter. It was his first touchdown of the season and first score since Week 10 of the 2023 campaign. Mitchell is still firmly entrenched as the Ravens' RB3 behind Derrick Henry and Rasheen Ali, but Mitchell should still see consistent playing time on special teams as a returner on kickoffs.

Battle recorded 10 tackles (seven solo) and a forced fumble during Thursday's 32-14 win at Baltimore.

Battle managed double digits in the tackle category for the third time this season, and he came up with perhaps the most clutch play of the game by punching the ball out of tight end Isaiah Likely's hands at the goal line in the second quarter, turning what would have been a 44-yard Baltimore touchdown into a turnover to set up a Bengals field goal. He projects as a strong IDP play for a Week 14 matchup at Buffalo.

Goedert recorded two receptions (on four targets) for 27 yards in Friday's 24-15 loss to the Bears.

The Eagles' passing game was stalled for much of the game, leading to another relatively quiet performance for Goedert. His primary contribution came on a 22-yard catch in garbage time, but A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith otherwise overshadowed him. Goedert now has fewer than 30 receiving yards in five of his last six games and is very dependent on reaching the end zone to be a viable fantasy contributor.

Meredith (ankle) is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Chargers.

Meredith missed practice Wednesday because of an ankle injury, but he was able to manage limited sessions Thursday and Friday, giving himself a chance to suit up in Week 13. If he can't go Sunday, veteran Alex Cappa would likely be the next man up at guard.

Smith-Schuster failed to haul in his lone target during the Chiefs' 31-28 loss to the Cowboys on Thursday.

Smith-Schuster failed to record a catch for the second time in three games, and the 2017 second rounder's 22 snaps on offense was fourth most among Chiefs wide receivers behind Rashee Rice (59), Xavier Worthy (58) and Hollywood Brown (29). Smith-Schuster recorded three catches or more in five of the first seven games of the regular season, but the veteran wideout figures to serve in a rotational role for the rest of the 2025 campaign unless Rice, Worthy or Brown were to miss time.

Beal (concussion) does not carry an injury designation ahead of Sunday's game at Cleveland, Noah Furtado of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Beal sat out Week 12 versus the Panthers as he recovered from a concussion he sustained in Week 11 at Arizona, but it looks like he's on track to return in Week 13. With Sam Okuayinonu listed as out with an ankle injury, Beal could be in line for an expanded role on the edge Sunday.

Smith returned one kickoff for 33 yards during the Chiefs' 31-28 loss to the Cowboys on Thursday.

Smith played just five snaps and didn't see a touch on offense following Isiah Pacheco's return from a three-game absence due to a knee injury. Smith figures to see seldom use on offense in games for which Pacheco and Kareem Hunt are both active, though Smith should continue to see work on kickoffs as a returner.
