Through 10 games this season, Tennessee Titans wide receiver Van Jefferson has recorded 17 catches for 189 yards and a touchdown on 33 targets. While those numbers don't jump off the page, Jefferson has seen an expanded role in his team's offense in recent weeks, earning 19 targets over his last three games played. The 29-year-old also played a season-high 92% of Tennessee's offensive snaps in Week 11 against the Houston Texans. With Titans wideouts Calvin Ridley (leg) and Elic Ayomanor (hamstring) both out, Jefferson could continue to see targets and playing time in Week 12 against the Seattle Seahawks. However, Seattle is a tough matchup for opposing passing games. Through 11 weeks, Seattle is allowing the third-fewest yards per pass attempt (6.2) in the NFL. Expected playing time alone may not be enough to carry Jefferson's fantasy production against the Seahawks. He profiles as a desperation flex option for deep-league fantasy managers in Week 12.--Will Brady

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Devaughn Vele has yet to carve out a significant role in the Big Easy, recording just six receptions for 54 yards and a touchdown on the season. However, with the team set to waive veteran Brandin Cooks, there will be additional opportunity for Vele to contribute in the offense. He has received eight targets in his last two contests and was on the field for a season-high 87% of snaps in the Week 10 win against the Panthers. With the Saints lacking a clear-cut WR2 behind Olave, Vele will compete with Mason Tipton for targets, though Tipton played just 34% of snaps in their last game. Given the potential increase in role, he's worth monitoring in deep leagues.--Dakota Legg - RotoBaller

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins has had a quality season. While the volume isn't always there, he's at least made up for it by finding the end zone seven times. Interestingly enough, he has scored at least once in all of the Bengals' home contests this season, with six of his seven touchdowns occurring in Cincinnati. With Paycor Stadium the site of Sunday's meeting with the New England Patriots, it's widely expected that the wideout will be given plenty of chances to keep the streak going. That's even more true, considering Ja'Marr Chase will sit this one out due to suspension. Despite a challenging matchup on the horizon, most fantasy managers were already planning on starting Higgins in Week 12. However, his ceiling is much higher with Chase sidelined. It's logical to assume Higgins will be a focal point of the Pats defense. Still, he's talented enough to get open even if he sees expanded coverage, giving him the potential to finish the week as a top fantasy receiving option.--Dennis Clausen

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Chimere Dike (chest) is off the injury report and good to go for his team's Week 12 matchup against the Seattle Seahawks. Dike has a major opportunity to expand his role in the Titans' passing game, as Tennessee wideouts Elic Ayomanor (hamstring) is out for Week 12, and Calvin Ridley (leg) was lost for the season in Week 11. Still, Dike faces a tough test in the Seahawks' defense. Through 11 weeks, Seattle is allowing the third-fewest yards per pass attempt (6.2) in the NFL. Across 10 games this season, Dike has provided modest production with 23 catches for 208 yards and one touchdown on 36 targets. Still, with Ridley and Ayomanor sidelined, Dike could emerge as the number one option for Titans quarterback Cameron Ward. Dike profiles as a low-end WR4/flex option for fantasy managers in Week 12.--Will Brady

The Baltimore Ravens D/ST has continued their resurgence since the bye with another big week against the Cleveland Browns in Week 11. After collecting just three turnovers in the first six weeks of the season, they have forced eight over the last four weeks. Part of that is the fact that they've faced a much easier schedule compared to the beginning of their year. In Week 12, another dysfunctional offense is on the docket with the New York Jets. The Jets give up an average of 7.7 fantasy points per game to opposing defenses, but they haven't thrown many interceptions, with just four so far this season. With that being said, the Ravens D/ST is projected for a top five finish, making them a great starting option this week.--Alex Fischbein

Baltimore Ravens kicker Tyler Loop has now finished two weeks in a row as a K1, and all signs point to him continuing that streak. The rookie made a 24, 25, and 44-yard field goal in Week 11 to go along with two extra points. Loop and the Ravens take on the New York Jets in Week 12, and they are ranked last in terms of fantasy points allowed to kickers. They give up an average of 10.6 fantasy points per contest to the position, and the Ravens offense should be able to get Loop into range quite consistently. Fantasy managers can continue to roll with Loop as a starter, especially while the offense remains on the healthier side.--Alex Fischbein

Tennessee Titans running back Tyjae Spears had a tough time as a rusher in Week 11 against the Houston Texans, recording just three rushing yards on four carries. However, Spears played a role in the passing game, logging five catches for 31 yards on five targets. Across his last five games, the 24-year-old has now hauled in 18 catches for 127 yards on 19 targets. With Spears continuing to share rushing work with fellow Titans back Tony Pollard, fantasy managers should not expect much rushing production in a tough Week 12 matchup against the Seattle Seahawks. Through 11 weeks, Seattle ranks fifth in the NFL in yards per carry allowed (3.9) and fourth in rushing touchdowns allowed (sixth). At the same time, Seattle is allowing more targets per game (7.3) to running backs than any other NFL defense. Spears could have an opportunity to expand upon his receiving role against the Seahawks. He profiles as a low-end flex option for fantasy managers in Week 12.--Will Brady

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Tylan Wallace has seen a bit of an increase in snap count since Rashod Bateman (ankle) has been sidelined. The only issue is that the added snaps haven't turned into production since the top targets are still playing. Wallace can be a decent deep threat with his speed, but a lot of the time, the offensive line hasn't given Lamar Jackson enough time for deep routes to progress. In Week 12, the Ravens take on the New York Jets, who rank 13th overall (23rd over last four weeks) against the position. Even with that being said, Wallace is projected as the WR112 in half-PPR leagues, so he's not a recommended start in most formats.--Alex Fischbein

Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson rushed for 104 yards and two touchdowns in Week 11, adding four catches for 39 yards. It ended a three-week stretch in which the 23-year-old did not go over 100 yards from scrimmage or score a touchdown, but he's still averaging over 78 rush yards and over four catches per contest. The University of Texas product will be without teammates Drake London (knee) and Michael Penix Jr. (knee) on Sunday, and the last time he was without those two was in Week 8 against Miami. In that contest, Robinson tallied just 25 yards rushing and 23 yards receiving, so Week 12's opponent may take a similar defensive approach with Kirk Cousins under center. This week, the Falcons take on the Saints, a defense that is middle of the road in terms of fantasy points allowed to opposing running backs, but is also limiting opponents to only 3.5 yards per carry over the last three weeks (fourth-lowest in the NFL). As one of the best running backs in the league, the third-year pro should be plugged into lineups every week in season-long leagues, but in a game that has one of the lowest projected point totals (40.5), expectations should be tempered in daily formats.--Jarod Rupp

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Chris Olave hauled in five receptions for 104 yards and a touchdown in the Week 10 victory against the Panthers. Olave's first 100-yard game of the season was highlighted by a 62-yard touchdown in the second quarter. The Saints already traded Rashid Shaheed at the deadline and have also ruled out Brandin Cooks, as the team is set to waive him at his request. This opens up even more opportunity for Olave, who is already third in the league in targets. He'll carry a 60-664-4 line into a matchup against the Falcons, who just allowed 448 passing yards to Bryce Young and the Panthers. Olave is a borderline WR1/WR2 for that contest.--Dakota Legg - RotoBaller

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford continues to lead the NFL in passing touchdowns ahead of Week 12 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. His elite passing productivity has made up for his lack of rushing upside, allowing him to rank as the sixth-highest-scoring quarterback in fantasy football this season. He has a whopping 22 touchdowns and zero interceptions over his last seven games, and now, he takes on a Bucs defense allowing the ninth-most fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks in 2025. Stafford is playing the best football of his career and has kept himself in the running for the MVP award. He continues to look like a potential league-winner in fantasy football and remains firmly in the mix as a mid-to-high QB1 option in fantasy football as he takes on the Bucs. To be precise, Stafford ranks as the overall QB5 in this week's RotoBaller fantasy rankings and should be started in all leagues.--Andersen Pickard

New Orleans Saints running back Devin Neal logged four carries for 22 yards and reeled in all three of his targets for nine yards in the Week 10 victory against the Panthers. Over his last two games, Neal has recorded seven rushes for 33 yards along with four receptions for 10 yards. Despite his low usage while backing up Alvin Kamara, Neal averages 4.3 yards per carry, which leads all running backs on the Saints. His role could increase this week, as Kamara is listed as questionable with an ankle injury for the third straight game. While Kamara has yet to miss a game, if he's forced to sit this one out, Neal will have RB2 upside against a Falcons defense allowing 138.5 rushing yards per game, 28th in the league.--Dakota Legg - RotoBaller

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Flacco (shoulder) practiced in full on Friday and doesn't carry an injury designation for the Week 12 meeting with New England. He has been dealing with this injury for at least a few weeks but has played through it, so few were worried about his availability. Instead, the bigger concern is the one-week suspension of Ja'Marr Chase, leaving the veteran signal-caller without his top receiving option for Sunday's contest. With Joe Burrow (toe) out for at least one more week, Flacco may be making his final start of the 2025 campaign. To his credit, he's played well during his time with the Bengals, throwing for 1,453 yards, 12 touchdowns, and three interceptions while completing 63.4% of his attempts. He struggled in the recent loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers, and Sunday's game versus a potent Pats defense might be one of his toughest challenges of the season, especially without Chase in the mix. However, several quarterbacks are already ruled out due to injury (there could be more), and others like Justin Herbert and Bo Nix are off on a bye, so a bigger argument can be made for Flacco to remain starting in all fantasy formats. He'll still have Tee Higgins, who has scored at least one touchdown in five of his last six appearances. Andrei Iosivas has also proven to be reliable (at times) when given an expanded role, and Chase Brown's pass-catching prowess should help even more. Granted, not having Chase isn't an ideal scenario, but Flacco still has an excellent chance of staying competitive with Higgins, Brown, and Iosivas as his primary targets in Week 12.--Dennis Clausen

Tennessee Titans running back Tony Pollard remains the primary ball-carrier on his team, but he's still tough to trust heading into Week 12 against the Seattle Seahawks. He's averaging just 3.7 yards per carry over his last five games and faces off against a Seattle run defense allowing the third-fewest rushing yards to opposing running backs in 2025. To make matters worse, Pollard has started to see his workload decline with Tyjae Spears back in action, tallying 11 or fewer carries in each of his last five contests. If Pollard came into this tough matchup with greater efficiency or a larger workload, managers could still feel comfortable deploying him in lineups. However, his volume, efficiency, and matchup are all major red flags, relegating him to the bench in most fantasy leagues. He ranks as the overall RB37 in RotoBaller's latest fantasy rankings.--Andersen Pickard

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins has yet to capitalize on any injuries to the pass-catchers despite seeing an uptick in targets over the last two weeks. He's turned 8 targets in two games into three catches for 27 yards and no touchdowns. He hasn't even finished in the top 50 at the position since the first two weeks of the season. The New York Jets present an easier matchup as the 23rd ranked unit against receivers over the last four weeks, but Hopkins remains around a third option at best. He's projected as the WR64 which leaves him on the waiver wire in almost all fantasy leagues.--Alex Fischbein
