Caleb Williams QB | CHI
Bears' Caleb Williams: Mediocre numbers in win
Williams completed 17 of 36 passes for 154 yards with one touchdown and one interception while adding five carries for 13 yards in the Bears' 24-15 win over the Eagles on Friday.
As his numbers indicate, Williams put together a forgettable fantasy effort that saw him average just 4.3 yards per attempt and finish with a QB rating of 56.9. The 2024 first overall pick leaned heavily on a ground attack that repeatedly knifed through the Eagles defense and a gritty performance from his own team's unit against Philadelphia's offense. Williams connected with Cole Kmet for his one touchdown pass from 28 yards out with just over six minutes remaining in the contest, and his late third-quarter pick was nullified by a Jalen Hurts fumble on a Tush Push attempt four plays later. Williams did see a four-game interception-less streak snapped with the miscue and has thrown for under 200 yards in two of the last three games, but at 9-3, the Bears head into a critical road clash with the Packers on Sunday, Dec. 7 with plenty of momentum.

Zamir White RB | SF
Raiders' Zamir White: Questionable with illness
White (illness) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Chargers.
White was unable to practice Friday due to an illness he seemingly just acquired. Even if the running back can shake the illness, he will likely be a healthy inactive for the seventh consecutive game behind Ashton Jeanty, Raheem Mostert and Dylan Laube.

Tyson Campbell CB | CLE
Browns' Tyson Campbell: Cleared for Week 13
Campbell (hip) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against San Francisco, Zac Jackson of The Athletic reports.
Campbell's practice reps were limited earlier in the week, but he's ready to roll after piling up a career-high 10 tackles in last Sunday's win over the Raiders. Campbell should see a lot of Jauan Jennings and Ricky Pearsall in coverage against the 49ers.

Kyle Monangai RB | CHI
Bears' Kyle Monangai: Big numbers with elevated workload
Monangai rushed 22 times for 130 yards and a touchdown and failed to bring in his only target in the Bears' 24-15 win over the Eagles on Friday.
Monangai surprisingly returned to a starter-level workload despite D'Andre Swift being active and gaining 125 rushing yards of his own while also punching in a score. Monangai outpaced his veteran backfield mate by four carries and recorded his fifth rush TD of the season on a four-yard run early in the fourth quarter. Monangai had topped out at 12 carries in terms of a single-game tally in the last three contests, so the boost in volume Friday was significant and surprising. Nevertheless, the division of labor in the backfield is likely to continue fluctuating game to game moving forward, and Friday's usage for both backs was largely the result of a favorable game script and clear matchup advantage.

Carson Schwesinger LB | CLE
Browns' Carson Schwesinger: Good to go for Week 13
Schwesinger (ankle) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the 49ers, Zac Jackson of The Athletic reports.
Schwesinger saw some limited practice reps earlier in the week but is good to go for Week 13. The rookie linebacker has appeared in all 11 games this season, recording 96 tackles (44 solo), including 1.5 sacks, and two interceptions.

Jamari Thrash WR | CLE
Browns' Jamari Thrash: Cleared to play Week 13
Thrash (foot) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game versus San Francisco, Zac Jackson of The Athletic reports.
Thrash missed Week 12 against Las Vegas but has been cleared to return to the lineup. Thrash has recorded just 10 catches for 107 yards on 15 targets across nine games this season.

Jonah Elliss LB | DEN
Broncos' Jonah Elliss: Questionable for SNF
Elliss (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday night's game against the Commanders.
Elliss was unable to practice in any capacity before being inactive for the Broncos' Week 11 victory over the Chiefs, so the outside linebacker stringing together limited sessions is a significant improvement. It remains to be seen if a limited week is enough to give the 22-year-old the green light, but if he is unable to go, Que Robinson may be in line for a larger rotational workload.

D'Andre Swift RB | CHI
Bears' D'Andre Swift: Over century mark in big win
Swift rushed 18 times for 125 yards and a touchdown while bringing in one of two targets for 13 yards in the Bears' 24-15 win over the Eagles on Friday.
It was a banner day for the Bears' ground attack, as both Swift and Kyle Monangai comfortably exceeded 100 yards. Each back also punched in a score, with Swift's coming from three yards out late in the first quarter and serving as his first trip to the end zone on the ground since Week 8. Swift's rushing yardage total was also a new season high, making it a highly rewarding day against one of his previous squads. Swift saw four fewer carries than his rookie backfield mate Friday, however, but the division of labor could fluctuate week to week down the stretch depending on a number of factors, including who proves to have the hot hand in any given contest.

Nate Adkins TE | DEN
Broncos' Nate Adkins: Ruled out for Sunday
Adkins (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Commanders.
Adkins will miss his fourth consecutive game with a knee issue. The tight end has yet to practice in any capacity since suffering the injury in Week 8. The timetable for the tight end's return remains unclear, though the decision not to move him to IR means a return may not be as far out of sight as it seems.

Alex Singleton LB | DEN
Broncos' Alex Singleton: Set to suit up Week 13
Singleton (illness) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Commanders.
Singleton sat out Denver's Week 11 win over the Chiefs after undergoing surgery Nov. 7 to have a cancerous tumor removed from one of his testicles. The Broncos' Week 12 bye helped the linebacker's recovery process, and he practiced in full all three days leading up to Sunday's matchup. The 31-year-old missed just four snaps through 10 weeks of play, and his return coupled with star cornerback Patrick Surtain's (pectoral) will strengthen an already dominant Broncos defense as Denver pursues its first AFC West title since 2015.
