New England Patriots wide receiver
Stefon Diggs (finger) has consistently operated as
Drake Maye's favorite target, keeping him in the low-end WR1 tier for fantasy football in Week 12 against the Cincinnati Bengals. The veteran pass catcher has reportedly been playing through a broken finger, and despite the ailment, he has amassed 27 catches, 272 yards, and three touchdowns over his last five games. He has strung together five consecutive games with double-digit fantasy points in PPR leagues despite playing fewer than 61% of the snaps in four of those five contests. He ranks eighth in the NFL in fantasy points per route run, making each of his plays incredibly valuable. Even against a Bengals defense allowing the 14th-fewest fantasy points to receivers and the fewest fantasy points to receivers who play out wide, Diggs should be deployed as a WR1 in most fantasy leagues.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver
Chris Godwin (leg) is expected to play in Sunday's Week 12 contest against the Los Angeles Rams, according to Dianna Russini of The Athletic. The 29-year-old has missed a total of eight games this season, including five in a row. Through two contests, he has 14 targets, but just six receptions for 52 yards. Upon his return, Godwin will step into a high-volume role alongside rookie standout
Emeka Egbuka. Both have mid-range WR1 upside against the Rams, but it remains to be seen whether they can co-exist in this Bucs offense. Godwin underperformed in the two games for which he was healthy, and he was the No. 2 receiver in both of those games, too. He should be viewed as a low-end WR3/flex play this week.

New York Giants wide receiver
Wan'Dale Robinson caught just four of nine targets for 36 yards last week against the Green Bay Packers with
Jameis Winston filling in for an injured
Jaxson Dart (concussion). Robinson has racked up the volume recently as the Giants' primary target in the passing game. Since Week 7, his 44 targets only trail
Nico Collins, Justin. Jefferson,
Ja'Marr Chase, and is averaging 11.3 PPR points per game.
Darius Slayton will return in Week 12 after missing last week due to a hamstring injury, so the targets may not be as consolidated on Robinson on Sunday. The 24-year-old Robinson still projects as a strong play on Sunday against the Lions, with the game tied for the second-highest projected total on the slate (50.5), setting up a potential shootout. Robinson ranks as RotoBaller's WR21 in PPR formats for Week 12.

Chicago Bears kicker
Cairo Santos is coming off his best game of the season in Week 11, knocking down four of five field goals, including the game-winner to beat the division rival Minnesota Vikings. It's been an up-and-down year for Santos, who's fought through injuries and kicker controversy with
Jake Moody earlier in the year. With Moody in Washington and the injuries behind the veteran kicker, Santos will look to fire off a strong finish to his 12th season. He faces a great matchup in Week 12, against a Pittsburgh Steelers defense that has allowed the third-most fantasy points per game to kickers this season. With good weather expected and a ton of confidence, Santos is worth starting in Week 12.

The Chicago Bears' defense was as disruptive as ever in Week 11, forcing two interceptions against the Minnesota Vikings. The Bears' defense continues to force turnovers at the highest rate in the NFL, totaling 23 turnovers in 10 games. However, like they have all season, the injury bug has bitten this defense. Linebackers Tremaine Edmunds (groin) and T.J. Edwards (hand/hamstring) have been ruled out, and Jaylon Johnson, Kyler Gordon, and Jaquan Brisker are all questionable to play this week. The Bears face the Steelers in Week 12, and their starting quarterback,
Aaron Rodgers (wrist), enters this game questionable. In his career, Rodgers has won 24 of 29 games against the Bears, and he might try to fight through injury in what appears to be his final game in Soldier Field. The status of Rodgers will determine the value of this defense, as they are much riskier of an option with Rodgers starting, rather than
Mason Rudolph.

Chicago Bears rookie tight end
Colston Loveland has slowed down in the past few weeks, hauling in three of four targets for 40 yards against the Minnesota Vikings. While Kmet was out due to a concussion, Loveland was far more productive, including a 118 and two-touchdown game against the Bengals. Despite his high draft capital and elite talent, Loveland is playing fewer snaps this season than Kmet (71% to 59%), and without a sure-fire role in the Bears' offense, Loveland will continue to disappoint this season. The matchup is ideal, as the Pittsburgh Steelers have allowed the sixth most fantasy points per game to tight ends this season. While a good matchup is there for the taking, Loveland will have to overcome a lack of volume to be worth starting this week.

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback
Joe Burrow (toe) won't be activated for Sunday's matchup against the New England Patriots, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. The star quarterback will remain on injured reserve for the time being, with
Joe Flacco set to make his sixth straight start for the Bengals. Burrow underwent surgery to repair his Grade 3 turf toe after getting injured during Cincinnati's Week 2 win over Jacksonville. While he is close to returning, he will likely need one more week to be cleared. Head coach Zac Taylor said that the 28-year-old "has done everything he can," after practicing in full on Wednesday and Thursday this week before being limited on Friday. Burrow said that he planned to return on Thanksgiving night against the Ravens, and we should know more about his status for that game early next week.

Chicago Bears wide receiver
Luther Burden III has officially supplanted
Olamide Zaccheaus as the WR3 in this Bears' offense. Over the past two games, Burden has played more snaps than Zaccheaus and has caught six passes for 78 yards in those games. Despite the Bears' running more two-TE sets in Week 11, Burden managed to play his second-most snaps of the season (44%), while Zaccheaus played his lowest (14%). Burden also faces a great matchup in Week 12, as the Steelers' defense has allowed the most fantasy points per game to wide receivers this season. This week could be the one that fantasy managers view as the "Luther Burden Breakout Game", but without a configured role in this Bears' offense, he's labeled as a high-upside WR5 in Week 12.

Chicago Bears wide receiver
DJ Moore will be hard to trust ahead of Week 12's matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers. After being drafted as a top-25 receiver in fantasy drafts this season, Moore has hauled in 31 of 51 targets for 421 yards and one touchdown in 10 games. Whether his connection with quarterback
Caleb Williams is not there or his current role in the scheme, Moore's struggles have been evident this season. Moore faces a Steelers defense in Week 12, which has allowed the most PPR fantasy points per game to wide receivers this season. However, with his current struggles, Moore should not be considered a starting option in fantasy matchups for Week 12.

Chicago Bears wide receiver
Rome Odunze has struggled to find consistency in recent weeks, putting up just two catches for 41 yards in Week 11's win over the Minnesota Vikings. The second-year receiver has been held to under three catches in four of his last six games, as the team has relied more on the run game. Odunze has also seen his snap count decrease in recent weeks, dropping from a snap share of 95% or more to under 80% in the previous two weeks. Odunze will look to bounce back in Week 12, against a Steelers defense that has allowed the most fantasy points per game to wide receivers this season. The Steelers play a lot of man coverage as well (fourth-highest rate in the NFL), and Odunze has prospered against man coverage this season. In the three games Odunze has faced teams that play man coverage at a similar rate to the Steelers, he's scored over 20 PPR points in all three games. Odunze is set to bounce back in a big way in Week 12.

New York Giants running back
Devin Singletary scored two touchdowns last week en route to finishing as the RB14 with 17.7 PPR points in Week 11 against the Green Bay Packers. Singeltary has held down the goal line work over the past two weeks with
Cam Skattebo (ankle) out for the season, handling all nine running back carries inside the 10-yard line. The 28-year-old has been out-touched 38 to 28 by fellow running back
Tyrone Tracy Jr. in those two games, but Singletary has been more productive for fantasy purposes so far. The veteran is the Giants' preferred back in pass-down situations as well, creating plenty of dump-off opportunities for
Jameis Winston, who is filling in for an injured
Jaxson Dart (concussion). Singletary ranks as RotoBaller's RB36 for Sunday against Detroit.

Chicago Bears rookie running back
Kyle Monangai has found the endzone in back-to-back weeks and continues to be a factor in this offense. Since Week 7, Monangai has averaged 76.2 scrimmage yards per game and has scored three touchdowns in those five games. While his role has shrunk since the return of D'Andre Swift, Monangai continues to produce and find the endzone. However, without a key receiving role and a limited snap share (39%), Monangai is very risky entering a tough Week 12 matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers. This Steelers defense has allowed the eighth fewest fantasy points to running backs this season and hasn't allowed two running backs on the same team to total over 35 rushing yards in a game. While Monangai is performing well, the seventh-round pick is a high-risk RB3 in Week 12.

Chicago Bears running back
D'Andre Swift handled a heavy workload in Week 11, totaling 21 carries for 90 yards in the 19-17 win over the Minnesota Vikings. While most fantasy managers were concerned about Swift's fantasy value with rookie
Kyle Monangai, Swift has averaged over 18 total touches in the previous two weeks and returned to his normal snap share of 61%. Monangai will still be a factor in this offense, especially near the goal line, but Swift is still the starting back moving forward. He faces a tough matchup in Week 12, against a Pittsburgh Steelers defense that has allowed the eighth fewest fantasy points to running backs this season. This will be Swift's toughest matchup since Week 2, but with the Bears' offense moving the ball well and their solid offensive line play, Swift is a mid-RB2 in Week 12.

Chicago Bears quarterback
Caleb Williams continues to do just enough for the Bears this season. While Week 11 wasn't Williams' best showing from a fantasy perspective, he's still in the midst of a breakout season. In 10 games, Williams has completed 194 of 325 passes for 2329 yards, with 13 touchdowns and four interceptions, while adding 272 yards and three touchdowns on the ground. He gets a nice matchup in Week 12 against the Pittsburgh Steelers, who have allowed the eighth most fantasy points to quarterbacks this season. While Pittsburgh has been better as of late, they have strictly faced pocket quarterbacks, and their only game against a quarterback that is averaging more rushing yards per game than Williams is
Justin Fields, who tormented their defense in Week 1. With no inclement weather expected and an ideal matchup, Williams is a low-end QB1 in Week 12.

New York Giants running back
Tyrone Tracy Jr. has received the bulk of the touches in the backfield over the past two weeks with
Cam Skattebo (ankle) out for the season, recording 33 carries for 159 yards along with five catches (six targets) for 51 yards. Tracy's 38 touches over those two weeks rank as the ninth most in the league among running backs, but veteran
Devin Singletary has taken away some of the more high-value opportunities, handling all nine running back carries inside the 10-yard line. So it has been a split backfield for the most part, with Tracy handling most of the work between the 20s and Singletary getting the goal line and pass down responsibilities. Things could change, but that limits Tracy's upside and will make it tough to find the end zone. The 25-year-old should still see plenty of volume in Week 12 against Detroit and ranks as RotoBaller's RB29 in PPR leagues.
