Fantasy Football Matchup Outlooks
Below are some fantasy football outlooks written by our NFL team here at RotoBaller, bringing you their fantasy football analysis and advice on which players to consider starting in Week 12:
Sean Tucker, RB, Buccaneers
Tampa Bay Buccaneers offensive coordinator Josh Grizzard said that running back Sean Tucker's workload has been going up each week as he continues to play well, and Grizzard "expects that to continue," according to Scott Smith of Buccaneers.com. Tucker played a season-high 44% of the offensive snaps in last week's loss to the Buffalo Bills and carried the ball a season-high 19 times for 106 yards and two rushing touchdowns.
The 24-year-old Syracuse product also caught both of his targets for 34 yards and another score. He has looked much more explosive than Rachaad White in recent weeks, and he could continue to have a key role in Tampa's backfield, even if Bucky Irving (foot, shoulder) returns on Sunday night for the first time since Week 4.
Tampa's backfield could evolve into a three-headed monster when Irving returns, but at least for Week 12 against the Rams, Tucker appears to be in line to get the first chance to show he's still the hot hand.
Xavier Worthy, WR, Chiefs
Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Xavier Worthy (ankle) practiced "in some capacity" on Thursday after missing Wednesday's session, Pete Sweeney of the KCStar reports. Worthy will likely be listed as a limited participant on Thursday, but it's positive to see him return to the practice field and gives him a chance to suit up in Week 12.
The 22-year-old recorded just three catches for 25 yards on five targets in the loss to Denver and hasn't found the end zone since Week 6 against the Lions, which is also his only touchdown this season. Worthy's status will be updated as the week progresses, and if the speedy wideout can play, he will rank as a low-end WR3 for Sunday's matchup against the Indianapolis Colts.
Jameson Williams, WR, Lions
Detroit Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams recorded four receptions for 88 yards and a touchdown on seven targets in Sunday night's 16-9 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. Williams scored the Lions' only touchdown of the night on an explosive 40-yard catch and run in the second quarter in what was otherwise a tough offensive performance against the Eagles' stout defense.
The 24-year-old wideout continued his strong run of production in recent games, now totaling 14 catches on 20 targets for 273 yards and three touchdowns over the past three weeks after their Week 8 bye, averaging 20.1 PPR points per game. With Sam LaPorta (back) placed on injured reserve earlier this week, Williams will have a runway for a strong second half of the season after a disappointing first seven games.
Trey Benson, RB, Cardinals
Arizona Cardinals running back Trey Benson (knee) was limited for the second day this week on Thursday as he attempts to return from a knee injury that has kept him out since Week 4, according to Zach Gershman of AZCardinals.com. Benson's 21-day practice window was opened on Wednesday, which means he's eligible to come off Injured Reserve and play this Sunday against the visiting Jacksonville Jaguars. The 23-year-old had surgery for a meniscus injury that he suffered in Week 4. Benson will most likely need a full practice on Friday for Arizona to even consider activating him from IR.
The team's backfield is beat up going into the weekend, with Emari Demercado (ankle) already ruled out and Bam Knight (ankle) being limited so far in practice. All signs are pointing to Benson missing this week, with Knight and Michael Carter sharing backfield duties versus the Jags.
