Turpin gained four rushing yards on two carries, caught one of two targets for 48 yards and added 86 yards on three kickoff returns and one punt return in Sunday's 24-21 win over the Eagles.

The fourth-year speedster committed his first fumble of the season early in the second quarter as part of a disastrous first half that saw the Cowboys fall behind 21-0, but Turpin atoned right before halftime with his 48-yard catch and run to set up Dallas' first TD of the game as they began a remarkable comeback. It was Turpin's longest play from scrimmage this season, and through nine games he's produced 262 yards of offense and a receiving TD on 26 touches while racking up 973 total return yards -- fourth in the NFL behind the Titans' Chimere Dike (1,491), the Vikings' Myles Price (1,336) and the Bengals' Charlie Jones (1,034).

Coach DeMeco Ryans said Monday that Stroud remains in the league's concussion protocol, DJ Bien-Aime of ESPN.com reports.

Stroud was concussed 22 days ago against the Broncos, so he's been dealing with symptoms for three-plus weeks, an unusually lengthy amount of time, though concussions aren't the same for every player. Ryans said Stroud will start once he clears the five-stage protocol, but it appears as if Davis Mills could get yet another start under center for Houston next Sunday in a very important game on the road against the Colts. Mills is 3-0 in three starts since stepping in for Stroud and has averaged 206.3 passing yards per game with five touchdowns and one interception in that span.

Stone recorded 13 total tackles (six solo) and one pick-six in Sunday's 26-20 loss to the Patriots.

The veteran safety from Iowa finished with the second-most tackles on the Bengals' defense and reached double-digit stops for the second time this season during the Week 12 loss. Stone also picked off a pass intended for Hunter Henry in the second quarter and returned it for a touchdown, giving Cincinnati a 10-point lead at the time. The second-year Bengal has now recorded 80 total tackles, including 1.0 sacks, and three passes defensed, with two interceptions, over 11 appearances this season. He's expected to remain one of Cincinnati's top defenders in the Week 13 matchup against the Ravens.

Ferguson failed to secure his only target during Sunday's 34-7 victory against the Buccaneers.

Despite Tyler Higbee (ankle) going on injured reserve, Ferguson's reduced role didn't expand, as he took the field for just 15 snaps on offense. Colby Parkinson secured all four of his targets for 41 yards and a touchdown, and Davis Allen tacked on three catches and 29 yards with his four targets. Until Ferguson earns more playing time, his opportunity for the explosive plays he's showcased in limited usage this season (27.6 YPC on five catches) will be scant, making him difficult to trust in fantasy lineups.

The Commanders announced Monday that Brown (groin/knee) has been designated to return from injured reserve.

Brown hasn't played since Week 2 due to groin and knee injuries, though Washington didn't actually place him on IR until mid-October. Once fully healthy, he'll have an opportunity to reclaim his role as the No. 3 receiver behind Terry McLaurin (quadriceps) and Deebo Samuel, though it's worth noting the former hasn't suited up since Week 8 himself. If Brown is able to hit the ground running at practice, it's possible he could be cleared in time to suit up Sunday versus the Broncos, a contest that will feature Marcus Mariota under center if Jayden Daniels (elbow) remains sidelined.

Davis carried the ball three times for 24 yards in Sunday's 24-21 win over the Eagles.

The 26-year-old filled the No. 2 role in the Dallas backfield but was a distant second to Javonte Williams (101 total yards on 22 touches) in workload. Davis has taken seven carries for 44 yards over the last two weeks since moving ahead of rookie Jaydon Blue on the depth chart -- an impressive 6.3 yards per carry -- but his fantasy utility is extremely limited as long as Williams is healthy.

Cooper recorded four total tackles (two solo) in Sunday's 23-6 win over the Vikings.

Cooper has underwhelmed relative to his usual production over the Packers' last three games, totaling just 16 total tackles during that span. Regardless, the Texas A&M product remains one of Green Bay's top defenders, recording 78 stops, including 0.5 sacks, three passes defensed and two forced fumbles over 11 games this season. He's expected to remain one of the team's top tacklers and a viable IDP option in the Week 13 matchup against the Lions on Thursday.

Allen secured three of four targets for 29 yards during Sunday's 34-7 victory against the Buccaneers.

A week removed from being blanked against the Seahawks, Allen helped fill the void left by Tyler Higbee (ankle) going on injured reserve. Colby Parkinson extended his touchdown streak to three games with a second-quarter touchdown grab, but Allen has also shown a nose for the end zone in 2025, notching three touchdowns of his own. Allen hasn't produced more than 37 yards in any contest this season, however, making him a touchdown-dependent fantasy option as the Rams travel to take on the Panthers in Week 13.

McDuffie recorded nine total tackles (five solo), including 0.5 sacks, and one interception in Sunday's 23-6 win over the Vikings.

With Quay Walker (neck) sidelined for most of the Packers' last two games, McDuffie has seen an expanded role and made the most of it. During that span, he's recorded 20 total tackles, including 1.0 sacks, and one interception, picking off J.J. McCarthy in the fourth quarter of the Week 12 win. If Walker remains out, McDuffie could start alongside Edgerrin Cooper again in the Week 13 matchup against the Lions.

Brosmer will take first-team reps at practice to open Week 13 prep with J.J. McCarthy having been placed in the concussion protocol, Ben Goessling of The Minnesota Star Tribune reports.

Brosmer will be in a position to start on the road against Seattle on Sunday if McCarthy is not able to fully clear the NFL's five-step concussion protocol in time to play this weekend. In that scenario, John Wolford would stand to be elevated from the practice squad to operate as Brosmer's backup. The undrafted rookie out of Minnesota has logged four regular-season appearances so far, in which span he's completed five of eight pass attempts for 42 yards.
