Fantasy Impact: Okudah was held out against the Texans in Week 12 due to a shoulder injury suffered in Week 11. Continue monitoring Okudah's status throughout the remainder of the week, as a Lions defense allowing 39 touchdowns on the season travels to Chicago in Week 13 with hopes that their top-three rookie cornerback will be suiting up.

The Baltimore Ravens defense played well in a 19-14 loss to the Steelers in Week 12. Baltimore managed to force two turnovers in the loss.

Fantasy Impact: Considering that the team was extremely short-handed thanks to multiple members on the team testing positive for COVID-19, Baltimore did well to limit a dangerous Pittsburgh offense to just 19 points. The Ravens will be a decent fantasy option against the Cowboys in Week 13, provided they get most of their starters back.

Baltimore Ravens kicker Justin Tucker made two extra points in a 19-14 loss to the Steelers in Week 12.

Fantasy Impact: Tucker wasn't asked to attempt a field goal on a brutal day for the Baltimore offense. The veteran kicker is having another fine season, hitting 19-of-20 field goals and all 31 of his extra points. He will be a top option in Week 13's potential shootout against the Cowboys.

Baltimore Ravens tight end Luke Willson was unable to bring in either of his two targets in a 19-14 loss to the Steelers in Week 12.

Fantasy Impact: Willson got some work with Mark Andrews landing on the league's reserve/COVID-19 list earlier in the week. Willson will not be a recommended fantasy option in Week 13 against Dallas, even if Andrews isn't activated.

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Devin Duvernay caught all three of his targets for 20 yards in a 19-14 loss to the Steelers in Week 12.

Fantasy Impact: Duvernay appears to have overtaken Miles Boykin in the target pecking order. The rookie wideout is an interesting stash in dynasty leagues but he shouldn't be considered in redraft.

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Dez Bryant was unable to catch either of his two targets in a 19-14 loss to the Steelers in Week 12.

Fantasy Impact: It was a brutal day for the Baltimore passing attack, which completed just 9-of-18 passes. Bryant now has four receptions for 28 yards in three games for Baltimore. He will face his old team, the Cowboys, in Week 13.

Fantasy Impact: Washington saw the majority of touches against the Jets in Week 12, totaling 18 opportunities and converting it into 60 yards before sustaining a hamstring injury. Continue monitoring Washington's status throughout the week as the Dolphins may opt to return to RB Salvon Ahmed, who practiced in limited fashion on Wednesday after suffering a shoulder injury that sidelined him in Week 12. Washington's value drops significantly if Ahmed is eligible to return against the Bengals in Week 13.

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Marquise Brown finally broke out of his slump, catching a 70-yard touchdown in a 19-14 loss to the Steelers in Week 12. Brown finished with four catches for 85 yards and the score.

Fantasy Impact: Brown bounced back after being shut out in the previous week. In a bit of a surprise, it was Trace McSorley who threw the 70-yard score to Brown, not Lamar Jackson or Robert Griffin III. Brown gets a plus matchup against the Cowboys in Week 13 but he will be hard to trust as anything more than a WR3, especially with Mark Andrews possibly returning to action after missing Week 12.

Baltimore Ravens running back Justice Hill carried the ball nine times for 35 yards and added five yards on two receptions in a 19-14 loss to the Steelers in Week 12.

Fantasy Impact: Hill had just one catch for three yards on the season coming into the Week 12 matchup. He should go back to being inactive with Mark Ingram and J.K. Dobbins expected back for Week 13's showdown with Dallas.

Baltimore Ravens running back Gus Edwards carried the ball nine times for 10 yards and a touchdown in a 19-14 loss to the Steelers in Week 12.

Fantasy Impact: Edwards salvaged his fantasy day with a one-yard touchdown run in the first quarter, although he let a golden opportunity to produce more slip away with both Mark Ingram and J.K. Dobbins inactive. Both are expected to be back in time for the team's Week 13 game against Dallas, meaning Edwards will return to being a shaky flex option in fantasy.

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Trace McSorley completed 2-of-6 passes for 77 yards and a touchdown in a 19-14 loss to the Steelers in Week 12.

Fantasy Impact: McSorley came on in the fourth quarter after Robert Griffin III was forced from the game by a strained hamstring. McSorley then went ahead and surprised everyone with a 70-yard touchdown pass to Marquise Brown. There's a good chance that Lamar Jackson will be removed from the reserve/COVID-19 list for Week 13's game against the Cowboys, forcing McSorley back to the bench.

The Steelers defense played well in a 19-14 win over the Ravens in Week 12. Pittsburgh notched three sacks and forced two turnovers in the win.

Fantasy Impact: The Steelers got a defensive touchdown on a 14-yard interception return by Joe Haden while T.J. Watt led the way with two sacks. The Steelers will be an excellent fantasy option in Week 13 against Washington.

Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker Bud Dupree reportedly tore his ACL during a 19-14 win over the Ravens in Week 12. He made five tackles in the game before the injury.

Fantasy Impact: Dupree went down in the fourth quarter with what the team feared was a serious injury. It was later reported that initial tests showed that Dupree tore his ACL. The veteran pass-rusher is scheduled to become a free agent this offseason after playing the 2020 season on the franchise tag.

Pittsburgh Steelers kicker Chris Boswell made both of his field-goal attempts and 1-of-2 extra points in a 19-14 win over the Ravens in Week 12.

Fantasy Impact: Boswell hit field goals from 27 and 25 yards in the win. The veteran kicker has made 18-of-19 field goals on the year although he's missed four of his 35 extra points. He will kick against Washington in Week 13.

Fantasy Impact: Conley suffered a hip injury that kept him out against the Browns in Week 12 but his ability to log a limited practice on Wednesday is encouraging. The sixth-year wideout has seen 20 targets over his last three games played, making him a potential solid waiver wire pick-up, if healthy, against a vulnerable Vikings defense in Week 13.

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver James Washington caught 2-of-3 targets for 19 yards in a 19-14 win over the Ravens in Week 12.

Fantasy Impact: Both of Washington's catches came on Pittsburgh's final drive of the game. The veteran receiver has been quiet for the past few weeks. He will not be a recommended fantasy option in Week 13 against Washington.

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster caught 8-of-9 targets for 37 yards and a touchdown in a 19-14 win over the Ravens in Week 12.

Fantasy Impact: Smith-Schuster's longest reception went for 11 yards on an afternoon where the Steelers mostly attempted short passes. He now has six touchdowns on the season. Smith-Schuster will be a WR2 in Week 13 against Washington.

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Chase Claypool caught 6-of-9 targets for 52 yards in a 19-14 win over the Ravens in Week 12.

Fantasy Impact: The Steelers spent much of the afternoon throwing short against the Ravens defense. Claypool still managed to scrape out a decent fantasy outing, although he failed to find the end zone for the Steelers. He will be a low-end WR2 in Week 13 against Washington.

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Diontae Johnson caught 8-of-13 targets for 46 yards in a 19-14 win over the Ravens in Week 12.

Fantasy Impact: Johnson's total yardage wasn't great but he led the way with 13 targets. It had the potential to have been a much bigger game for Johnson, who dropped several catchable balls, including one near the goal line that likely would have resulted in a touchdown. He will be a WR2 in Week 13 against Washington.

Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Eric Ebron caught 7-of-11 targets for 54 yards in a 19-14 win over the Ravens in Week 12.

Fantasy Impact: Ebron led the team in receiving and set a season-high with his 11 targets. The veteran tight end has become a bigger part of the Pittsburgh offense as the season has gone on. He will be a low-end TE1 in Week 13 against Washington.
