Cameron Brate (hip) is active against the Packers.

There wasn’t huge concern over Brate’s status, but he’s officially out there for the Bucs. Jameis Winston’s return could help, but Brate hasn’t been very involved in the offense lately. Still, he’s in the back-end TE1 conversation against Green Bay.

Frank Gore gets 13 carries against Jacksonville.

The veteran running back gained 61 yards on his 13 attempts, and he jumped both Jerome Bettis and LaDanian Tomlinson to get into fifth all-time on the NFL’s rushing yardage list. Gore has been an excellent example of consistency in the NFL. The future Hall of Famer still gets the job done at 34 years old, and he’s in the FLEX conversation next week versus Buffalo.

Marcus Mariota scores twice as the Titans improve to 8-4.

The Titans started slow against the Texans, but the offense got things going and scored 24 points in the final three quarters. Mariota was 15/23 for 150 yards and a passing touchdown along with three carries for 23 yards and a touchdown on the ground. The rushing score came on a zone read, and the passing touchdown was on a deep crossing route to Delanie Walker for 24 yards. Mariota has four games to continue heating up as the Titans look to make a playoff run in January.

Carlos Hyde gets 20 touches versus Chicago.

Hyde carried 17 times for 54 yards and added three receptions for 12 yards in the Week 13 win. The Bears did a solid job of stopping the running game of the 49ers, and Matt Breida did get 12 carries of his own, but it’s still good to see Hyde get another 20+ touch week. He should remain in fantasy next week for the fantasy playoffs.

Alex Collins (calf) is officially active for Week 13.

This was fully expected. Collins will be in there as the primary runner for the Ravens, so he’s a good option in fantasy lineups against the Lions.

Charles Clay held to three receptions for 20 yards in loss to the Patriots.

Clay had four receptions for 60 yards last week against Kansas City, but he’s now been held out of the end zone each game since returning from injury and is averaging just 30 yards per game over the past four. There are better options to consider for the fantasy playoffs.

Dwayne Allen catches one pass in Week 13 win.

It went for three yards, but Allen could have an every-down role in Week 14 if Rob Gronkowski is suspended. If so, Allen would be a low-end TE1 in a good matchup against Miami, but he was held without a reception earlier in the season when Gronk was out.
