Romeo Doubs Merely A Flex Option Against 49ers

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Romeo Doubs has had a tough go of things over the last couple of weeks, but he looks to right the ship as the Packers square off with the visiting San Francisco 49ers in Week 12. Despite running the most routes per dropback each week for the Packers, Doubs hasn't […]

Dorian Finney-Smith Will Play Friday

Brooklyn Nets forward Dorian Finney-Smith (ankle) will be available on Friday against Philadelphia. He was listed as questionable on the initial injury report, was then upgraded to probable, and has now received a further upgrade to available. Finney-Smith has put in solid all-around work as a starter this season, and it should continue on Friday. […]

Miles Bridges Out At Least One Week

Charlotte Hornets forward Miles Bridges (knee) will be shut down and re-evaluated in one week. Bridges aggravated his knee injury during Tuesday's contest and was held out on Thursday as a result. The Hornets are going to be without Bridges for the next three games. The expectation is that the team uses a committee approach […]

Christian Watson A Volatile Flex Play In Week 12

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Christian Watson is looking to build off the best game of his 2024 season as the Packers host the San Francisco 49ers in Week 12. Watson amassed four receptions and 150 receiving yards and was hugely efficient for the Packers in their win over the Chicago Bears in Week 11. […]

Jacob Cowing Ruled Out Against Packers

San Francisco 49ers rookie wide receiver/kick returner Jacob Cowing (concussion) was unable to clear the league's concussion protocol and has been ruled out for Week 12 versus the Green Bay Packers.

Josh Downs A WR2 With Colts As Big Underdogs In Week 12

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Josh Downs leads his team in targets (71) and yards per game (63.0). Quarterback Anthony Richardson looked his way five times in Week 11 and Downs caught all five balls for 84 yards and a touchdown. Coming into the contest with a 44.4% completion rate, there were concerns about Richardson's ability […]

Nicolas Claxton Back In Action Friday

Brooklyn Nets center Nicolas Claxton (back) will return from a three-game absence on Friday against Philadelphia. The Nets big man has shaken off a lower back problem and a probable tag in the process. Ben Simmons has been Brooklyn's starting center during Claxton's absence and must settle for a lesser role now that he's back. […]

Jonathan Taylor A Back-End RB1 Versus Detroit In Week 12

Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor was held to under 100 total yards rushing and receiving last Sunday for the second time in three weeks. While Week 12's showdown with the Lions looks like another tough matchup on paper, with the Lions allowing the fifth-fewest rushing yards per game thus far and the fourth-fewest fantasy […]

Trent Williams Questionable For Week 12

The San Francisco 49ers will be without starting quarterback Brock Purdy (shoulder) in Week 12 against the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field, and they could also be without starting left tackle Trent Williams (ankle), as he's listed as questionable for Sunday's game. Williams played through the ankle injury in the Week 11 loss to […]

C.J. Stroud Relegated To Superflex Option In Week 12

Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud should mostly be kept to Superflex duty as his team takes on the solid Tennessee Titans defense in Week 12. The Ohio State product has had an up-and-down second season, ranking a disappointing 17th among fantasy quarterbacks after his breakout rookie campaign. Part of the struggle has been pass protection, […]

CJ McCollum Remains Unavailable On Friday

New Orleans Pelicans guard CJ McCollum (adductor) will remain out on Friday versus Golden State. He has been downgraded from doubtful to out, missing a 13th consecutive game. Elfrid Payton should receive another start with McCollum on the shelf. He had a solid season debut with 11 points, five rebounds, and eight assists on Wednesday […]

Consider Tucker Kraft A High-End Streaming TE Against 49ers

Green Bay Packers tight end Tucker Kraft looks to get out of his production slump as the Packers host the San Francisco 49ers in Week 12. If you've started Kraft in fantasy football over the past couple of weeks, you've no doubt been disappointed. Just before the Packers' bye in Week 10, Kraft was held […]

Joe Mixon Takes Hot Streak Against Slumping Titans

Already one of the top-performing fantasy players of the year, Houston Texans running back Joe Mixon faces another decent matchup when his team plays host to the Tennessee Titans in Week 12. The top Houston back has scored in six straight games and rushed for 100-plus yards in five of six, and now takes on […]

WR1 Potential For Nico Collins Despite Matchup

Back in the lineup after a prolonged absence, Houston Texans wide receiver Nico Collins is once again a top fantasy option as his team takes on the Tennessee Titans in Week 12. The Michigan Man had only four catches last week against Dallas, but he also played only 47% of Houston's offensive snaps in the […]

Justice Hill Practices In Full On Friday

Baltimore Ravens running back Justice Hill (concussion) was able to practice in full on Friday after being limited on Thursday. Hill suffered a concussion in the Week 11 loss to the division-rival Pittsburgh Steelers and is working through the league's concussion protocol. It's a good sign that he ditched his non-contact jersey on Friday, but […]

Tank Dell Faces Tough Matchup Against Titans

The Tennessee Titans present a difficult matchup for Houston Texans wide receiver Tank Dell in their first meeting of the season in Week 12. The Titans' brutal offense has dragged down the team's record, but their defense ranks an impressive second overall against fantasy wide receivers through 11 weeks. That presents a complicated decision for […]

Packers D/ST A Solid Play In Week 12 Against 49ers

The Green Bay Packers defense and special teams unit got a bit of an upgrade and should now be considered a pretty good option in fantasy lineups as the Packers host the San Francisco 49ers in Week 12. The 49ers will be without quarterback Brock Purdy (shoulder) as he was ruled out of Sunday's matchup […]

Dalton Schultz Off Starting Radar In Week 12

Houston Texans tight end Dalton Schultz will face the struggling Tennessee Titans in Week 12, though that's not good news for a mid-tier fantasy player at his position. The Titans' solid defense has been particularly good against fantasy tight ends, ranking sixth overall and holding Minnesota's T.J. Hockenson to just two catches for 13 yards […]

Productive Ka'imi Fairbairn An Easy Starting Option Again

Houston Texans kicker Ka'imi Fairbairn remains a clear starter once again as his team prepares to take on the slumping Tennessee Titans in Week 12.

Rashod Bateman Added To Week 12 Injury Report

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Rashod Bateman (knee) was added to the Week 12 injury report on Friday and was listed as a non-participant. Mid-week additions to the injury report are usually not good, but Bateman has one more day to get back on the practice field before the Ravens release their final injury report on […]

Vince Dunn Could Be An Option For Kraken Next Week

Seattle Kraken defenseman Vince Dunn (upper body) might be back in action next week. He will join the team for a brief two-game road trip, which begins on Saturday in L.A., but Dunn isn't quite ready to play yet. However, per Scott Malone of Root Sports, Dunn could return to the lineup later next week. […]

Cade Cunningham Ruled Out For Saturday

Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham (hip) has been ruled out ahead of Saturday's game against the Orlando Magic. Cunningham suffered a joint sprain during Thursday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. As a result, Cunningham will sit out on Saturday, but hopefully it'll only be a one-game absence. It'll be interesting to see what the Pistons […]

Josh Reynolds Won't Return This Weekend

Despite practicing in full all week, the Denver Broncos ruled wide receiver Josh Reynolds (hand) out for Week 12 against the division-rival Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday. Although Reynolds is getting close to making his return, he'll remain on Injured Reserve for another week. The 29-year-old's next chance to play for the Broncos will be […]

Alexander Nylander Joins Maple Leafs On One-Year Deal

The Toronto Maple Leafs have signed winger Alexander Nylander to a one-year, $775,000 contract.

Skating with the Toronto Marlies, Nylander has been averaging close to a point per game in the AHL, notching eight goals and […]

Anthony Richardson's Legs Give Him QB1 Upside In Week 12

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson is coming off his best fantasy performance since Week 1 after accounting for three touchdowns in Week 11. In Week 12, the Colts draw the Lions and they will be seven-point home underdogs in a game that features a high expected total (50). Although the 22-year-old completed 67% of his […]

George Kittle Cleared For Week 12

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle (hamstring) was removed from the final injury report on Friday and will be active for the Week 12 game on Sunday against the hosting Green Bay Packers. Hamstring irritation caused Kittle to miss the Week 11 loss to the division-rival Seattle Seahawks, but he'll end his absence at […]

Joel Embiid Considered A Game-Time Decision

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (knee) is currently being considered a game-time decision ahead of Friday's game against the Brooklyn Nets.

He didn't participate in shootaround on Friday after re-aggravating his knee during Wednesday's […]

Jason Dickinson Expected To Play On Saturday

Chicago Blackhawks center Jason Dickinson (hand) is expected to remain in the lineup on Saturday versus Philadelphia. He injured his hand Thursday against Florida. Dickinson has lately found himself as the Blackhawks' first-line center, with Connor Bedard skating on the wing. He produced a two-goal effort against Anaheim earlier in the week. The season as […]

Austin Seibert Listed As Questionable, Trending In Right Direction

Washington Commanders kicker Austin Seibert (hip) is listed as questionable for Sunday's tilt against the Dallas Cowboys. Seibert has been sidelined for the past two weeks but was able to log a full practice on Friday, which is a positive sign of his availability for this divisional matchup. Nicki Jhabvala of the Washington Post reported […]

Commanders Defense An Excellent Streaming Option In Week 12

The Washington Commanders defense is shaping up to be a solid streaming option facing a struggling Dallas offense this weekend. Despite disappointing in their previous two games against the Philadelphia Eagles and Pittsburgh Steelers, fantasy managers should still consider the Washington defense, given their favorable matchup. During their past two games with Cooper Rush under […]
