Arizona Cardinals wide receiver
Greg Dortch should once again see an expanded role in the receiving game this weekend. Fellow wideout
Marvin Harrison Jr. (appendix) has been ruled out for a second straight game. Last week, Dortch hauled in all six of his targets for 66 yards and a touchdown in the loss to the San Francisco 49ers. Prior to that, Dortch went two straight games without a catch. That being said, Dortch doesn't seem to carry much long-term value, but is worth a look while Harrison is out. Given his success last week, Dortch should once again see a good volume in the passing game. He'll get a favorable matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars defense that has struggled to contain the passing game. Dortch should be viewed as a flex option for this weekend.

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver
Andrei Iosivas is expected to have a larger role in the receiving game this weekend. Fellow wideout
Ja'Marr Chase is unavailable due to a suspension, but he should return against the Baltimore Ravens for the Thanksgiving game. In the meantime, Iosivas should slide up the depth chart with Chase unable to suit up. Iosivas has been a non-factor in the offense outside of two five-catch performances. The 26-year-old showed good potential last season when he hauled in six touchdowns across 17 games. Iosivas is unlikely to carry much long-term value with Chase returning next week. However, fantasy managers should be able to plug him in as a low-end WR3 for this weekend.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back
Sean Tucker is coming off a fantastic performance against the Buffalo Bills. Last week, Tucker rushed 19 times for 106 yards and scored two touchdowns in the loss. He also hauled in two receptions for 34 yards and an additional score through the air. All signs are pointing to Tucker once again having a large role in the backfield during the Week 12 matchup against the Los Angeles Rams. Lead back
Bucky Irving (shoulder, toe) remains out for at least one more week. Tucker seems to have the edge over
Rachaad White after that 100-plus yard performance. The expectation is that Tucker sees enough snaps to warrant high-end RB3 value for this weekend.

New England Patriots running back
Rhamondre Stevenson (toe) currently carries a questionable tag into Sunday's Week 12 matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals. Stevenson has missed the last three games, but is expected to play this weekend. It's unclear how the backfield snaps will be split up once Stevenson does return.
TreVeyon Henderson has scored five touchdowns since Stevenson went down. The rookie back figures to have earned a larger role going forward. Stevenson is likely only going to offer flex appeal in what could be closer to a 50/50 split in the backfield going forward.

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback
Aaron Rodgers (wrist) remains uncertain to suit up ahead of the Week 12 matchup against the Chicago Bears. Rodgers is dealing with a minor fracture on his left (non-throwing) wrist. The veteran quarterback has been pushing to play, but the organization seems more cautious. It sounds like if the decision is left up to Rodgers, then he'll suit up. Otherwise, fantasy managers might need to find another option for Sunday's slate.
Mason Rudolph would be in line to start if Rodgers is ruled out. Fantasy managers should check back for another update on Rodgers.

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports that Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver
Xavier Worthy (ankle) is expected to play in Sunday's home matchup with the Indianapolis Colts. Worthy picked up an ankle injury mid-week during the team's preparations for a game against the Broncos in Week 11, but carried no designation into the contest. After missing practice on Wednesday, the second-year pro was able to upgrade his status each ensuing day, and appears to be on the right side of questionable heading into a juicy outing against an exploitable Colts' pass defense. As it stands, fantasy managers can expect him to be out there for his usual allotment of snaps. Worthy profiles as a solid WR3 play in a game with a 50.5-point over/under.

According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, the New Orleans Saints expect running back
Alvin Kamara (ankle) to be available for Sunday's meeting with the visiting Atlanta Falcons. Kamara has battled an ankle injury for a large portion of the 2025 campaign. Despite being labeled as questionable for the past few games, he's yet to miss one because of it. The 30-year-old put together one of his better performances of the season before New Orleans went on bye in Week 11, eclipsing 100 scrimmage yards for the first time since Week 2, and showed well against a decent Carolina run defense. If, for whatever reason, the veteran is unable to suit up in Week 12, teammates
Devin Neal and
Audric Estime would man the backfield in his stead.

Seattle Seahawks running back
Kenneth Walker III (glute) is expected to play in Week 12's road matchup with the Tennessee Titans. ESPN's Adam Schefter reported the news. The Michigan State product was a late addition to Seattle's practice report on Friday, logging a limited session with a glute issue that forced the team to deem him questionable. However, head coach Mike Macdonald has expressed that the move was precautionary, and he should be fine for Sunday. It's excellent news for him, as Walker III is in a smash spot against a Titan's defense that's yielded the seventh-most rushing yards (134.7) and eighth-most fantasy points per game to running backs (24.35). Fantasy managers will still want to remain watchful of the 25-year-old's official game-time status, although he doesn't appear to be in any danger of missing his first appearance this season.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver
Chris Godwin (leg) is anticipated to have his snap count limited for Sunday's road matchup with the Los Angeles Rams, according to Jeremy Fowler of ESPN. Fowler notes that the Pennsylvania native "will likely be on something of a pitch count," as the team manages his reps following a five-game layoff. It makes sense that Tampa Bay would be cautious with the veteran's playing time, considering he's only appeared in two games thus far while working back from ankle and fibula injuries. For this week at least, teammates
Tez Johnson and
Sterling Shepard will run behind
Emeka Egbuka for the majority of snaps. If everything goes to plan, one, if not both, Johnson and Shepard would see a decrease in playing time moving forward as Godwin puts time between him and his injury. He's a shaky play in his first game back.

ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that the Tampa Bay Buccaneers expect running back
Bucky Irving (foot, shoulder) to make his return to the field for next Sunday's home game with the Arizona Cardinals. The second-year pro logged three more limited practices as he returns to health, but was ultimately ruled out a seventh straight time for their clash with the Rams. Per Schefter, Irving "looked strong at practice this week," and might have been able to suit up for Week 12's contest. Alas, Tampa Bay will afford him a few more days to get right as they gear up for a playoff push. Teammates
Rachaad White and
Sean Tucker are poised for another week splitting backfield work in his stead, though it will be interesting to see whether last week's distribution was fluky or a trend.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers kicker
Chase McLaughlin nailed both of his short field goal attempts and two extra points in a Week 11 loss to the Buffalo Bills. McLaughlin has been money again for the Bucs in his third season with the team, making 20 of 24 attempts and 20 of 21 extra points. The 29-year-old has arguably been the best kicker in the league from deep range, making all eight attempts from 50 yards or more and owning the second-longest kick of the season at 65 yards back in Week 4 against the Philadelphia Eagles. McLaughlin ranks as the No. 6 overall kicker in fantasy points scored this season and is a strong option in a dome on Sunday Night Football against the Los Angeles Rams. He is RotoBaller's 11th-ranked kicker for Week 12.

The Jacksonville Jaguars' defense is tied with the Los Angeles Rams for the third-most takeaways this season with 18, trailing only the Houston Texans and Chicago Bears. However, they are pretty mediocre when they aren't able to generate turnovers, allowing the seventh most passing yards per game (236.9). But they have been stout against the run, allowing just 86.7 yards per game, second only to the New England Patriots. Jacksonville travels west to face
Jacoby Brissett and the Arizona Cardinals on the road. Despite Brissett completing an NFL record 47 passes for 452 yards, the Cardinals have also turned the ball over five times in the past two weeks. Brissett could exploit Jacksonville's poor pass defense, but turnovers will likely be the recipe to success again for the Jaguars' defense, as they have forced at least one in all but two games this season. Jacksonville ranks as RotoBaller's 13th defense for Week 12.

Jacksonville Jaguars kicker
Cam Little didn't attempt a field goal for the first time this season in last week's 35-6 win over the Los Angeles Chargers, but nailed all five extra points. Little has been a solid kicker option this season for fantasy managers, making 16 of 20 attempts and 24 of 25 extra points, ranking as the No. 15 kicker in total fantasy points. His 80% field goal percentage is just below the league average of 84.5%. The 22-year-old has one of the strongest legs in the league, as displayed by his 70-yard kick in the preseason, and he made history in Week 9 against the Raiders with the longest kick of all time at 68 yards. Little is RotoBaller's seventh-ranked kicker for Week 12 against the Arizona Cardinals.

Dallas Cowboys kicker
Brandon Aubrey has only attempted three field goals in the past three games, which has limited his scoring for fantasy, but he is still one of the few must-start kicker options every week. Aubrey ranks as the No. 4 overall kicker in points scored this season, making 18 of 19 attempts and 32 of 33 extra points. The 30-year-old made the third-longest kick of the season at 64 yards back in Week 4 and is one of only six kickers in the league to make a kick of 60 yards or more. Aubrey is a must-start option in Week 12 at home against the Philadelphia Eagles, who he had 11 fantasy points against back in Week 1.

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback
Joe Burrow (toe) is trending toward playing on Thanksgiving night against the Baltimore Ravens, per Albert Breer of Sports Illustrated. Burrow and the Bengals reportedly met every day this week regarding his health and then decided on Friday to wait another week to give
Joe Flacco enough practice reps with the starters. The 28-year-old pushed to play and didn't have any setbacks in practice this week, but the team's quick turnaround on Thursday night in Week 13 was a key part of the decision to hold him out. Burrow has been sidelined since Week 2 after undergoing surgery to repair his Grade 3 turf toe and looks set to return for a big divisional matchup against the Baltimore Ravens on Thanksgiving night. Flacco will have one more run as the Bengals starter and will rank as a high-end QB2 in a potential shootout against the Patriots on Sunday.
