Houston Texans wide receiver Noah Brown (knee) practiced on a limited basis for the second straight day this week on Thursday. After missing the last two games with a knee injury, Brown could be on track to return for a Week 13 meeting with the visiting Denver Broncos. Rookie Tank Dell (calf) is also somewhat in question to play this week, although he returned to practice on Thursday. Before Brown's injury, his arrow was pointing up with two straight 100-yard performances in Weeks 9 and 10. He'll likely need a full practice on Friday to avoid a questionable tag in Week 13. But if Brown does return, he'll be a deep-league flex option in Houston's high-octane passing game under impressive rookie quarterback C.J. Stroud.

Detroit Lions running back David Montgomery (foot) looks well on his way to playing this Sunday against the New Orleans Saints after putting in a full practice session on Thursday. Montgomery was limited on Wednesday with a foot issue. Rookie first-rounder Jahmyr Gibbs has earned a bigger share of the backfield workload going forward, but Montgomery still remains a big part of this offense. Since returning from a three-game absence due to a rib injury, Monty has found the end zone in each of the last three games and has a total of 39 rushing attempts for 263 yards (6.74 yards per carry), adding two catches for 22 yards. He's less useful in PPR formats and should be considered a touchdown-dependent RB2. Montgomery has scored on the ground in all but one of his eight games in 2023.

Seattle Seahawks tight end Will Dissly (hip) came into Thursday night's game against the Dallas Cowboys with a questionable tag, but he's officially active for the Week 13 contest and will play. The Seahawks haven't really involved their tight ends much this year, so Dissly can continue going ignored in fantasy lineups in this one. The 27-year-old has only 10 receptions for 108 yards and no touchdowns on the year in 10 games played. He hasn't caught more than two passes in a game since Week 2 and is coming off a one-catch, 21-yard performance in last Thursday's blowout loss to the division-rival San Francisco 49ers. Dissly has only 13 targets in the passing game all year long.

Seattle Seahawks wide receivers Dee Eskridge (ribs) and Dareke Young (abdomen) are both inactive for the Thursday night game against the Dallas Cowboys. Eskridge came into the Week 13 game as questionable but was unable to practice either of the last two days. Young was even more unlikely to suit up with a doubtful tag after being limited on Tuesday and Wednesday. In any event, the Seahawks will lack some receiver depth against Dallas behind starters DK Metcalf, Tyler Lockett and rookie Jaxon Smith-Njigba. Rookie Jake Bobo could see some added opportunities as the No. 4 wideout in a game in which the Seahawks could be forced to the air often. Neither Eskridge nor Young have been fantasy relevant in 2023.
