Game Info
Kickoff: Sunday, November 30, 2025, 4:25 p.m. ET
Location: SoFi Stadium, Inglewood, CA
Network: CBS
Las Vegas Raiders
Quarterback
Geno Smith: SIT
In an extremely difficult matchup for one of the league’s co-leaders in interceptions, Geno Smith should be nowhere near your starting lineups this week.
Running Back
Ashton Jeanty: START, RB2
Raheem Mostert: SIT
Dylan Laube: SIT
Ashton Jeanty hasn’t quite returned on the lofty expectations set for him on draft day, but he’s still sitting at RB11 on the season in PPR formats. Jeanty’s role has evolved in recent weeks, taking fewer carries but catching many more passes. He has 14 receptions over the last two games, second only to Jahmyr Gibbs in that time frame, and he’s now seventh in running back receptions this year. Jeanty’s new pass-catching chops have him in the high-end RB2 ranks this week, as the game against the Chargers profiles as one of the lowest-scoring affairs on the Week 13 slate. The Chargers do allow 4.74 yards per carry and 2.05 yards after contact, both inside the bottom 10 in the league, so there is some hope that Jeanty can find some room to run behind this horrible run-blocking offensive line.
Wide Receiver
Tre Tucker: FLEX, WR4
Tyler Lockett: SIT
The Chargers present a brutal matchup for wide receivers. L.A. has allowed the third-fewest points to the position, holding opposing teams to under 200 receiving yards per game. To top it all off, the Chargers also allowed only 10 receiving touchdowns in 2025. Only Denver (nine) has fewer. Tre Tucker is the de facto WR1, but I wouldn’t recommend him or Tyler Lockett this week.
Tight End
Brock Bowers: START, TE1
Michael Mayer: SIT
He hasn’t been his phenomenal rookie year self, but there’s still no world in which you’re sitting Brock Bowers when he’s active. Perhaps the firing of Chip Kelly can inject some fire into this offense to bring Bowers’ ceiling back into play, but his massive target share and sheer talent keep him a must-start.
Defense/Special Teams
Las Vegas Raiders: SIT
It could be a low-scoring game, but there’s no upside here with all 32 teams playing.
Los Angeles Chargers
Quarterback
Justin Herbert: SIT, QB2 (startable in Superflex)
Yes, Justin Herbert has had a fairly solid season all things considered, thanks in large part to the unexpected air-raid approach in Jim Harbaugh‘s offense. But the losses of Rashawn Slater and especially Joe Alt have had detrimental effects on the Chargers, most of all Herbert, who mustered only 81 passing yards in an exploitable matchup against the Jaguars. The horrendous O-line lowers the ceiling of all Chargers players, so we’re playing things safe this week and labeling Herbert as a QB2 in what could be a low-volume day against the Raiders. If we can see Herbert have some more time in the pocket, we’ll feel better about starting him in future weeks.
Running Back
Kimani Vidal: SIT | START, RB2 (if Hampton is out)
Omarion Hampton: START, RB2
We may see the long-awaited return of Omarion Hampton this week, and he gets a tough matchup against a Raiders defense that allows the second-fewest yards per carry in the league (3.67). If active, Hampton would profile as an RB2 based on skill alone, but there are a few murky variables that cap his ceiling. How many touches will he get in his first game back? Can he find any room to run behind this offensive line? Will my uncle be able to make it to halftime of the 4:30 Thanksgiving game before falling asleep? Find out next time on Dragon Ball Z. It’s risky, but I’m still firing Hampton up if active based on his explosiveness and usage in the passing game we saw before injury. If he’s out, Kimani Vidal should have one more week of low-end RB2, high-end flex viability before ceding control to Hampton.
Wide Receiver
Quentin Johnston: FLEX, WR4
Keenan Allen: FLEX, WR4
Ladd McConkey: START, WR2
As a good friend of mine likes to say, water always finds its level. After a rough start to the season, Ladd McConkey is the standout option in this receiving group and is an excellent WR2 for Week 13. Since Week 6, McConkey leads the team in yards (431), target share (23.8%), receptions (33), and touchdowns (3). He has both the highest floor and ceiling of this group moving forward, while Keenan Allen and Quentin Johnston are relegated to low-upside flex options. Both should have spike weeks, but the floor is too low for them to be considered every-week starters anymore.
Tight End
Oronde Gadsden II: START, TE1-2 Borderline
A correction to a small lie of omission from the paragraph above: McConkey is actually the co-leader in yards since Week 6, tied at 431 with rookie Oronde Gadsden II. While Gadsden’s production hasn’t been great the past two games, he’s seen at least five targets in each of his past six games. This target floor, combined with the Chargers’ struggles on offense, makes Gadsden more of a borderline TE1 than the rock-solid option he was during October. He’s still a fine start in most formats, but temper expectations. The Raiders allow just 7.5 half-PPR fantasy points per game to opposing TEs.
Defense/Special Teams
Los Angeles Chargers: START
See Smith, Geno.
