Lions Defense An Easy Fade In Week 12

The Detroit Lions defense faces Josh Allen, Stefon Diggs, and company on Thanksgiving in Week 12, which is plenty of reason for them to be far from the fantasy radar. The unit as a whole has played relatively well in recent weeks, but Allen and the Bills are a whole different animal and even top […]

Jamaal Williams A Boom-Or-Bust Week 12 Option

Detroit Lions running back Jamaal Williams leads the NFL with 12 touchdowns, but he should still be considered a boom-or-bust option on Thanksgiving day against the Buffalo Bills. Williams has only posted one 100-yard rushing performance on the year and lacks receiving upside, so his fantasy production is very fragile and dependent on touchdowns. However, […]

Amon-Ra St. Brown Has High Ceiling Versus Bills

Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown has seen eight or more targets in seven of his eight full games played and remains a strong option at wide receiver in Week 12 against the Buffalo Bills. Buffalo has given up the 11th-most fantasy points per game to wideouts through 11 weeks, so the matchup is […]

Jared Goff Has Upside Despite Tough Matchup

Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff has a wide range of outcomes against the Buffalo Bills on Thanksgiving. The Bills' defense has been a top-six unit against fantasy quarterbacks this season, but if this game gets ugly as expected, Detroit will be forced into a pass-only game script. By pure volume, Goff can pay off in […]

Fantasy Football Injury Reports For QBs: Justin Fields, Kyler Murray, Josh Allen, Matthew Stafford

The Week 12 NFL slate featuring Thanksgiving football sees no teams on a bye, but injuries at the quarterback position have still made things tough for fantasy managers. The top breakout quarterback heads into Week 12 with uncertainty, while a few veterans are battling bumps and bruises of their own. Our fantasy football injury reports […]

Fantasy Football Injury Reports For TEs: Kyle Pitts, Gerald Everett, Daniel Bellinger

There are no tight ends on a bye in Week 12, but last week saw long-term injuries to Dallas Goedert and Zach Ertz, and a new season-ending injury has reared its ugly head this week. The tight end position is already thin, and injuries to Kyle Pitts, Gerald Everett, and Daniel Bellinger only compound things. […]

Deeper-League Waiver Wire Adds for Week 12: Jameson Williams, Julio Jones, Demarcus Robinson, Tutu Atwell, Austin Hooper

The waiver wire is as thin as ever and there are no teams on a bye in Week 12, but there's never a time to stop searching for late-season upside as the fantasy football playoffs are just around the corner. These fantasy football waiver wire pickup suggestions are for fantasy managers in deep leagues of […]

Week 12 Kicker Streamers and Starts - 2022 Fantasy Tiers, Rankings

As Thanksgiving football approaches, there are no teams on a bye this week, so fantasy managers won't have to dive deep into the pool of fantasy kickers to find a quality starter. That said, even kickers have dealt with injury issues this season, so it's always a good idea to know the pecking order of […]

Gus Edwards, DeSean Jackson Hopeful To Play In Week 12

Baltimore Ravens running back Gus Edwards (knee/hamstring) and wide receiver DeSean Jackson (hamstring) could play in Week 12, as head coach John Harbaugh said the team is hopeful to get them back against the Jaguars. Edwards will immediately enter the fantasy start 'em, sit 'em bubble as a primary ball carrier in a top rushing […]

Kyler Murray Not Expected To Play Against 49ers

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray (hamstring) reportedly might not return until after the team's Week 13 bye, as the team will be cautious in letting their franchise quarterback heal up. That said, he's not expected to play on Monday Night Football against the San Francisco 49ers. Colts McCoy is in line to start his second […]

Chase Edmonds Suffers High-Ankle Sprain

Denver Broncos running back Chase Edmonds suffered a high-ankle sprain in the Week 11 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders. Edmonds is expected to miss multiple games. Despite this, the Broncos waived Melvin Gordon III, so Latavius Murray looks to be the clear lead back in Denver. He'll have RB2 upside with an RB1 weekly […]

Wan'Dale Robinson Suffers Torn ACL

New York Giants wide receiver Wan'Dale Robinson will miss the remainder of his rookie season after suffering a torn ACL in the loss to the Detroit Lions in Week 11. Robinson was in the middle of a breakout game, catching nine of 13 targets for 100 yards, but will not get a chance to build […]

Melvin Gordon III Waived By Broncos

Denver Broncos running back Melvin Gordon III has been waived by the team just a day after fumbling for the fifth time this season. This is somewhat of a surprise since newly acquired running back Chase Edmonds suffered an ankle injury in the Broncos' Week 11 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders. That said, this […]

Kyle Pitts Out Indefinitely With Torn MCL

Atlanta Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts is out indefinitely after suffering a torn MCL in the team's win over the Chicago Bears. While Pitts hasn't met expectations this season in fantasy football, managers continued to hold out hope for the 2021 No. 4 overall pick in the NFL Draft. He is more than likely out […]

Top Fantasy Football Injuries From Sunday: Justin Fields, Joe Mixon, Wan'Dale Robinson, Mike Williams, Kyle Pitts, Matthew Stafford

Week 11 saw another significant slew of fantasy football injuries and at this point in the season, it can be difficult to find replacements for fantasy football studs. As always, some players who suffered injuries are more likely to miss time than others, but we'll cover it all. Our fantasy football injuries report highlights the […]

Bengals Defense Disappoints In Week 11

The Cincinnati Bengals defense was high in Week 11 fantasy defense/special teams rankings, but they allowed 30 points and forced zero turnovers against Kenny Pickett and the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Bengals' defense looks good on paper and has been impressive in some spots, but it's far from spectacular and clearly isn't bust-proof in favorable matchups. […]

Evan McPherson Nets Three Fields Goals In Win

Cincinnati Bengals kicker Evan McPherson made all three field goal attempts and all four extra-point attempts in the 37-30 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers. He had a big day for fantasy managers who trusted him despite a lackluster start to his sophomore season. He'll be a high-upside play next week against the Tennessee Titans, who […]

Trenton Irwin Finds End Zone In Win

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Trenton Irwin caught three of his four targets for 42 yards and a touchdown in the win over the Pittsburgh Steelers. It was a solid day for fantasy managers is super deep leagues, but it's hard to expect anything like it moving forward. If Ja'Marr Chase (hip) remains out next week […]

Tyler Boyd Catches Just Two Passes Against Steelers

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tyler Boyd caught just two of his seven targets for 42 yards in the Week 11 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers. It was a major disappointment for fantasy managers in what seemed like a smash spot for Boyd, and his upside will be capped if Ja'Marr Chase (hip) makes his return […]

Tee Higgins Posts 148 Receiving Yards Against Steelers

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins caught nine of his 13 targets for 148 yards in the win over the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 11. Higgins was the clear target magnet while Ja'Marr Chase (hip) remained out, and posted a season-high in catches and yards. In Week 12, Higgins remains a must-start against the weak […]

Samaje Perine Scores Three Receiving Touchdowns In Win

Cincinnati Bengals running back Samaje Perine rushed 11 times for 30 yards and caught four passes for 52 yards and three touchdowns in the win over the Pittsburgh Steelers. Heading into this game, Perine didn't have a big workload in any game prior to this game, but because Joe Mixon entered concussion protocol and was […]

Joe Burrow Throws Four Touchdown Passes In Win

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow completed 24 of his 39 passing attempts for 355 yards, four touchdowns, and two interceptions in the win over the Pittsburgh Steelers. Trenton Irwin caught one touchdown, while Samaje Perine caught three. This was another big performance for Burrow, who continues to be a must-start QB1. Ja'Marr Chase (hip) could […]

Lions Defense Posts Two Interceptions, Two Sacks In Win

The Detroit Lions had a solid day on defense, forcing two Daniel Jones interceptions and sacking him twice in the win over the New York Giants. Detroit surprisingly limited Saquon Barkley to just 35 yards on 17 touches, so it was arguably the strongest defensive performance of the year. However, Detroit faces the Buffalo Bills […]

Michael Badgley Makes Five Kicks In Win

Detroit Lions kicker Michael Badgley made his lone field goal attempt and all four of his extra point attempts in the win over the New York Giants in Week 11. The Lions' offense remains a solid unit, so he has some upside, but the aggressive nature of Dan Campbell often takes field goal attempts off […]

DJ Chark Held Without Catch In Return

Detroit Lions wide receiver DJ Chark returned from Injured Reserve from an ankle injury in Week 11, but he was held without a catch on just one target. It's too early to write him off as it was just his first game since Week 3, so continue to hold him in deep leagues. T.J. Hockenson […]

Amon-Ra St. Brown Catches Seven Passes In Win

Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown caught seven of his eight targets for 76 yards in the win over the New York Giants. He didn't find the end zone so it wasn't a monster performance, but he continues to be a steady wideout in PPR leagues with a ton of upside. He unsurprisingly earned […]

D'Andre Swift Finds End Zone In Win

Detroit Lions running back D'Andre Swift handled eight touches for 32 yards and one touchdown in the win over the New York Giants in Week 11. Swift was out touched by Jamaal Williams (17) and Justin Jackson (10), so his fantasy outlook continues to trend in the wrong direction. It's unclear why Detroit won't give […]

Justin Jackson Totals 77 Yards In Win

Detroit Lions running back Justin Jackson turned 10 touches into 77 yards in the win over the New York Giants. D'Andre Swift and Jamaal Williams were expected to split touches for the Lions, but Jackson's involvement in the offense makes this backfield even more tricky to navigate. Swift rushed for one touchdown while Williams rushed […]

Jamaal Williams Scores Three Touchdowns Against Giants

Detroit Lions running back Jamaal Williams rushed 17 times for 64 yards and three touchdowns in the win over the New York Giants. He rushed for just 3.8 yards per carry, but obviously, the three scores led to a big fantasy day. His outlook remains as a touchdown-or-bust option since he doesn't do much in […]

Jared Goff Fails To Throw Touchdown In Win

Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff completed 17 of his 26 passing attempts for 165 yards, zero touchdowns, and zero interceptions in the 31-18 win over the New York Giants. Jamaal Williams and D'Andre Swift combined for four rushing touchdowns, so Goff simply fell victim to not being on the right side of the play calls […]
