Week 13 is here and so is a whole bunch of NFL football. Last week it was all Jahmyr Gibbs, as he found the end zone three times and put up 264 total yards. He still is a ways off of the leader Jonathan Taylor in standard scoring, but he’s now tied Christian McCaffrey for the second most fantasy points per game, while rushing for 6.1 yards per carry compared to McCaffrey’s 3.7.
Devin Neal, Saints vs. Dolphins
Running back Alvin Kamara suffered a knee injury that should keep him out this week. That will push Neal up to the starting job in a good matchup with the Dolphins, who allow the fifth-most yards per carry to running backs. We saw last week that they aren’t afraid to throw the ball to Neal, as he caught 5-of-7 targets for 43 yards. That’s great for his fantasy upside this week.
Jacobs is dealing with a knee contusion that forced him from their Week 11 game against the Giants. It looks like he avoided structural damage, but they held him out in Week 12. He has been adamant that he would go on Thanksgiving against the Lions.
Benson was injured in Week 4 and underwent arthroscopic surgery on his meniscus. He was able to get in limited practices last week and should have a reasonable shot of playing this week against the Cardinals.
Omarion Hampton, Chargers
Chargers HC Jim Harbaugh said he doesn’t expect Omarion Hampton to return until after the Week 12 bye, but he has yet to practice. He’ll need to ramp things up this week if he wants to have a shot at playing against the Raiders.
Irving missed the last seven games with a shoulder and ankle injury, but has returned to practice and has a good chance to play against the Cardinals this week as long as he has no setbacks.
Pacheco suffered an MCL sprain in Week 8. He has a chance to return this week on Thursday against the Cowboys, but he also might not. If he can, he’ll be worth starting, but if he can’t, Kareem Hunt will get another start in fantasy.
Kamara suffered an MCL sprain in Week 12 and will likely miss this week against the Dolphins and possibly more. Devin Neal is the last man standing at this point, and will have some fantasy value in a good matchup this week.
