Green Bay Packers wide receiver
Jayden Reed (collarbone, foot) has been on Injured Reserve since Week 2 as he rehabs collarbone and foot injuries. However, Reed is expected to return this season and was reportedly ramping up his rehab leading into Green Bay's Week 11 win over the New York Giants. The Packers have yet to open Reed's 21-day activation window, so it may still be a few weeks before he retakes the field. Still, fantasy managers with an open IR spot may want to consider stashing the 25-year-old ahead of his eventual return. Across 17 games in 2024, Reed recorded 55 catches for 857 yards and six touchdowns on 75 targets. When healthy, he'll rejoin a crowded Packers wide receiver room that also includes
Romeo Doubs,
Christian Watson,
Matthew Golden, and
Dontayvion Wicks. The Packers host the Minnesota Vikings in Week 12 before traveling to Detroit in Week 13 to take on the Lions on Thanksgiving Day.

Tennessee Titans tight end
Chig Okonkwo caught three passes for a team-high 56 yards on three targets in Sunday's 16-13 loss to the Houston Texans in Week 11. Okonkwo was able to play through a foot injury on Sunday that had limited his participation in practice all week leading up to the game. The 26-year-old had his best fantasy performance since Week 8 and had a season high in yards per target. Despite seeing targets further down the field, Okonkwo was unable to find the end zone and is still looking for his first touchdown this season. Okonkwo has only finished as a top-eight tight end once through the first 11 weeks and remains an unreliable option for fantasy managers. Heading into Week 12, Okonkwo should be viewed as a low-end TE2 against a top-ranked Seattle Seahawks defense.

Tennessee Titans running back
Tony Pollard had 10 carries for 22 yards in Sunday's 16-13 loss to the Houston Texans in Week 11. Pollard also had three catches for four yards on three targets. The 28-year-old veteran scored a season low of 5.6 fantasy points and was out-snapped for the third time this season by backfield mate
Tyjae Spears. Since Week 6, Pollard has only been able to eclipse over eight fantasy points once. The former explosive fantasy favorite has become a low-upside, touchdown-dependent flex option for managers. Pollard was been unable to find paydirt for a fifth straight week and has only been able to find the end zone twice this year. Heading into Week 12, Pollard will be a desperation flex option in deeper leagues in a difficult matchup against the Seattle Seahawks.

Atlanta Falcons running back
Tyler Allgeier has just three carries for 10 yards in his team's Week 11 loss to the Carolina Panthers. However, Allgeier did manage to find his way into the end zone against Carolina for his seventh rushing touchdown of the 2025 season and his fourth in the last four weeks. Across 10 games this season, the 25-year-old has rushed for 280 yards and seven scores on 77 rush attempts. Allgeier remains the clear RB2 in Atlanta behind star running back
Bijan Robinson. However, Allgeier has more rushing touchdowns than Robinson and clearly has the trust of the Atlanta coaching staff in short-yardage situations. Allgeier's goal-line role gives him some flex appeal in the right matchups, and he'd profile as a must-start fantasy running back if Robinson were to get injured. Allgeier should be rostered in all fantasy leagues with 12 or more teams heading into a Week 12 matchup against the New Orleans Saints.

Tennessee Titans running back
Tyjae Spears had four carries for three yards in Sunday's 16-13 loss to the Houston Texans in Week 11. Spears also had five catches for 31 yards on five targets. The 24-year-old was able to claw out 8.4 fantasy points, making it the fifth straight game with over seven fantasy points. Sunday also marked the third time this season Spears out-snapped backfield mate
Tony Pollard in a game. Spears continues to live off his receiving production to stay flex-worthy for fantasy managers in PPR leagues. Nearly all of his fantasy points were earned through the air, making it the fourth time in five games this season he's done that. Spears will remain a flex option in PPR leagues despite a difficult matchup against a top-ranked Seattle Seahawks defense in Week 12.

Miami Dolphins rookie running back
Ollie Gordon II had one of the better games of his young career in Week 11, recording nine carries for 45 yards and a touchdown against the Washington Commanders. Across 11 games played, Gordon II has now logged 194 scrimmage yards and three touchdowns on 56 touches. While
De'Von Achane is still the star of the Dolphins' backfield, Gordon II has proven he can be productive in a complementary role when Miami is in a favorable game script. The Dolphins enter their Week 12 bye having won three out of their last four games and have a winnable matchup on paper in Week 13 against the New Orleans Saints. Gordon II's primary fantasy value remains as a handcuff to Achane, but he could be a deep-league flex option in Week 13 against New Orleans. In fantasy leagues with 14 or more teams where he remains available, Gordon II could be worth targeting on the waiver wire.

Tennessee Titans rookie quarterback
Cameron Ward went 24-for-37 for 194 yards with one touchdown in the crushing 16-13 loss on Sunday to the Houston Texans in Week 11. Ward also had three carries for a career high of 33 rushing yards with one lost fumble. The 23-year-old first overall pick put together his best fantasy performance of his young career, scoring over 14 fantasy points. Ward threw his lone touchdown to veteran wide receiver
Van Jefferson on Sunday, making it his third game in four weeks throwing a touchdown. However, Ward had another turnover, bringing his total to 12 this season. Ward will once again be a QB3 in fantasy in a difficult matchup against a top-ranked Seattle Seahawks defense in Week 12.

Arizona Cardinals running back
Bam Knight saw a scaled back role in the rushing game during Sunday's game against the San Francisco 49ers. Heading into this game, Knight had seen nine carries or more in each of his last four games. However, Knight carried the ball only five times for 24 yards and scored a touchdown in the loss. He also hauled in all four of his targets through the air for 21 additional yards. The fact the game was a blowout could've contributed to the lack of carries for Knight. He figures to have a bigger role during next week's matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Fantasy managers should be able to plug in Knight as a low-end flex option

New England Patriots wide receiver
Mack Hollins was a non-factor in the offense early in the season, but is starting to make an impact. Over the last four games, Hollins has finished with 64 receiving yards or more. The absence of
Kayshon Boutte (hamstring) has led to more targets coming Hollins' way. Once Boutte returns, Hollins figures to see his role reduced, but he should still stay in the gameplan. Hollins is someone to consider as a flex option for the upcoming Week 12 matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals.

November 17, 2025
Denver Broncos running back
Jaleel McLaughlin saw an increased role during Sunday's game against the Kansas City Chiefs. McLaughlin has been a healthy scratch throughout most of the season, but is likely to see an expanded role going forward. The Broncos are going to be without
J.K. Dobbins (foot) for the foreseeable future, so McLaughlin will likely see more touches. He carried the ball six times for 19 yards and scored a touchdown in the Week 11 win. McLaughlin won't be worth adding with the team on bye in Week 12, but is someone to keep an eye on going forward. He could see a handful of carries on a weekly basis.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver
Christian Watson broke out in a big way during Sunday's game against the New York Giants. Watson has been held in check during his first few games, but finally found the end zone this past weekend. The 26-year-old hauled in four of his five targets for 46 yards and two touchdowns in the win. Given the Packers current injuries, Watson could be an interesting waiver wire addition this week. The expectation is that Watson's role on the team will grow as time goes on. He should offer at least flex value for the Week 12 matchup against the Minnesota Vikings.

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver
Greg Dortch has been a non-factor basically all season until making some noise during Sunday's game. Dortch was asked to step up into a larger role with
Marvin Harrison Jr. (appendix) sidelined this weekend. The 27-year-old delivered as he hauled in all six of his targets for 66 yards and a touchdown in the loss to the San Francisco 49ers. Dortch played a season-high 66 percent of the offensive snaps during this contest. He could be worth snagging off the waiver wire for Week 12, assuming Harrison misses another game.

Dallas Cowboys wide receivers
CeeDee Lamb and
George Pickens were on the sideline for the first drive of Monday's game against the Las Vegas Raiders. The benching of these players wasn't because of an injury. This was a coach's decision, so it appears that Lamb and Pickens were being disciplined for some reason by head coach Brian Schottenheimer. Fantasy managers don't need to panic, as both players were back in the game after that. Hopefully, this won't be a problem going forward. Both Lamb (touchdown) and Pickens were quickly involved in Dallas' passing attack after sitting out the first offensive series in Week 11.

The Washington Commanders signed kicker
Jake Moody off the Chicago Bears' practice squad on Monday, according to John Keim of ESPN. It looks like Moody will get the first chance to take over kicking duties in D.C. after the team released struggling veteran
Matt Gay on Monday. However, with the Commanders on bye in Week 12, the team could bring in additional competition for Moody as they prepare for a Week 13 matchup on Sunday Night Football against the 9-2 Denver Broncos. Moody, 25, was cut by the San Francisco 49ers early this season before he latched on with the Bears. He has gone 9-for-12 on field-goal tries and 5-for-5 on his extra-point attempts in 2025 in just three games played. Moody has a career 76.1% success rate on his 71 career field-goal attempts, and fantasy managers will want to stay away from him if he's the Commanders' placekicker for a difficult matchup in Week 13.

Buffalo Bills wide receiver
Joshua Palmer (ankle, knee) was listed as a limited practice participant on Monday's estimated injury report. Receivers
Mecole Hardman (calf) and
Curtis Samuel (elbow, neck) were listed as non-participants. Palmer missed Weeks 8-10 with ankle and knee injuries, but he was able to return to action on Sunday in the win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The 26-year-old played 50% of the offensive snaps but caught only two of his five targets for 17 yards. It was an especially disappointing stat line with receiver
Keon Coleman out for disciplinary reasons and tight end
Dalton Kincaid (hamstring) sidelined by injury in a game in which the Bills put up 44 points and moved the ball at will against Tampa. Even if Coleman and Kincaid both miss another game this Thursday night, Palmer should be faded in Week 12 in a much tougher matchup against the Houston Texans and their top-ranked defense.
