Seattle Seahawks kicker
Jason Myers will look to continue his massive 2025 campaign in Week 12 against the Tennessee Titans. Myers is attached to an offense that is putting up massive point totals every week. That should not change in Week 12 against a porous Titans defense. The Seahawks should be in scoring position all day. Whether it is for extra points or field goals, Myers will be on the field consistently. He has been relatively accurate this season, converting 21 of 26 field goals. Most notably, Myers is hitting from deep with 11 of his makes coming from beyond 40 yards. Those types of kicks are massive boosts in fantasy. Expect more short kicks in Week 12, but a lot of them. Myers is a top-ranked kicker this week.

Seattle Seahawks tight end
AJ Barner is worth monitoring in Week 12 against the Tennessee Titans. Barner is coming off a 10-reception, 70-yard game against the Los Angeles Rams in Week 11. He has been inconsistent this season, but he has been a solid fantasy producer more often than not. Seattle projects to have a low passing volume day in Week 12 against a Titans team that has had trouble staying in games this season. However, Barner's target share will be worth monitoring because it could translate to further success later this season. Even so, unless Barner finds the end zone in Week 12 (which he has five times this season) he is unlikely to be particularly useful. If Seattle does indeed lean heavily on the running game this week, most of the passing volume is likely to go to wide receiver
Jaxon Smith-Njigba. Stash Barner through this week and see how he performs.

The Seattle Seahawks defense/special teams unit is a fantastic option in Week 12 against the Tennessee Titans. The Seahawks boast an elite defense this season. They just hung around in a Week 11 game against the Los Angeles Rams in large part due to their defense covering offensive mistakes. The Titans have been a great offense to target with D/STs in fantasy. Titans quarterback
Cameron Ward is struggling with sacks, and the potential for turnovers is high. It is unlikely that the Titans will be able to score very many points this week against this unit. Look for the Seahawks to rack up sacks and potentially notch a defensive score. RotoBaller has the Seahawks ranked as the No. 1 D/ST for the week, and they could very well finish in that position.

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver
Cooper Kupp should not be on your fantasy radar in a Week 12 face-off with the Tennessee Titans. Kupp continues to be important to what the Seahawks do on offense. He is a great veteran option who has been solid on important downs. However, Kupp's role does not translate to fantasy success. Kupp has only topped 59 receiving yards twice this season. He is not receiving consistent or high-quality volume. Even in a great matchup with the Titans, Kupp should not be in lineups. He is likely to be a background piece for Seattle in a game they should win with ease. At this point, Kupp may not even be worth rostering. He will have a fantasy-relevant game here and there, but they will be difficult to predict.

Chicago Bulls guard
Tre Jones (ankle) has been upgraded to available for Friday's meeting with the Heat, though head coach Billy Donovan noted he will be capped at roughly 20-24 minutes in his return. Jones had been productive before the injury, averaging 13.3 points, 4.0 rebounds, 5.5 assists, and 2.1 steals, but the lighter workload will keep expectations in check. His activation comes on the same night
Coby White (calf) has been ruled out, leaving Chicago short on creation but not empty-handed. With Jones operating in a controlled role,
Ayo Dosunmu is still positioned for extra touches, and
Kevin Huerter should see a cleaner path to shots.

Right-hander
Clarke Schmidt and the New York Yankees avoided salary arbitration on Friday by agreeing to a one-year, $4.5 million deal for the 2026 season, a source told Robert Murray of FanSided. Schmidt probably won't pitch again for the Yankees until the second half of next season after he had an internal-brace procedure on his right elbow in mid-July. The 29-year-old former 16th overall pick in 2017 out of South Carolina was solid in 14 starts for the Yanks before his elbow injury this year, going 4-4 with a 3.32 ERA, 1.09 WHIP, and 73:30 K:BB over 78 2/3 innings pitched. Schmidt was even better in 2024 before another injury ended his season early, as he posted a career-best 2.85 ERA and 1.18 WHIP in 16 starts in pinstripes. In his six MLB seasons, Schmidt has a 3.82 ERA, 1.27 WHIP, 23% strikeout rate, and 8.3% walk rate.

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver
Jaxon Smith-Njigba should be great in a Week 12 tilt against the Tennessee Titans. JSN has been completely game script-independent this season. Whether the Seahawks are up big or down big has not mattered; Smith-Njigba always delivers. The Titans have a terrible defense in just about every aspect. They are No. 26 against opposing wide receivers in fantasy. The yards and receptions are flowing against this team. Smith-Njigba has been automatic all season, and his connection with quarterback
Sam Darnold is special. He is on pace for nearly 2,000 receiving yards this season, and he should make a large dent in that goal in Week 12. The only factor working against Smith-Njigba this week is the potential for Seattle to build a huge lead and rest its starters later in the game. However, that has happened on multiple occasions this season, and Smith-Njigba has still delivered for fantasy. He can be started with WR1 overall upside in Week 12.

Seattle Seahawks running back
Zach Charbonnet will be a touchdown-dependent flex option once again when the Seahawks clash with the Tennessee Titans in Week 12. However, despite his touchdown-dependent status, Charbonnet has a great chance to score this week. The Titans are No. 22 in points allowed to opposing running backs in fantasy this season. They have also allowed 12 rushing touchdowns to running backs, which is good for 31st in the league. This team does not have much going for it on the defensive line, and Charbonnet could reap the benefits. Seattle will surely find itself in the red zone numerous times throughout this game. Charbonnet is the clear goal line back for this team, and he will likely receive multiple opportunities inside the five-yard line. If you are desperate for a running back start, Charbonnet could deliver for you in Week 12. It is worth noting that fellow running back
Kenneth Walker III (glute) popped up on the injury report on Friday. If Walker were to sit or be limited, Charbonnet would be an automatic start this week.

Jacksonville Jaguars tight end
Brenton Strange (quad) is listed as questionable ahead of the Week 12 matchup against the Arizona Cardinals. Strange remains on the injured reserve at the moment, but has a chance of playing this weekend. The 24-year-old has missed the last five games due to a quad injury. He was able to practice as a limited participant this week. It's unclear if Strange would be limited at all, assuming he's cleared to play. If he's going to play, the Jaguars must activate him from the injured reserve by Saturday afternoon. Fantasy managers will need to check back for another update on his status.

Seattle Seahawks quarterback
Sam Darnold is in the streaming conversation in Week 12 against the Tennessee Titans. Despite two horrific fantasy outings in a row, Tennessee presents a great chance for Darnold to get back on track. The Titans have been one of the worst defenses in the league in just about every category. The only reason they are middle-of-the-pack against opposing quarterbacks in fantasy is because they are often down by so many points early in games that teams turn to the run to salt away their victory. Darnold is coming off a performance in which he tossed four interceptions against the Los Angeles Rams. In Week 10, his services were hardly needed because the Arizona Cardinals fell behind so early in the game that the Seahawks essentially coasted after one quarter. The Titans could present a similar situation in Week 12, but look for Darnold to throw a couple of touchdown passes before this game gets out of hand. He is a low-end QB1 or high-end QB2 in Week 12.

Minnesota Timberwolves forward
Jaden McDaniels (wrist) will play on Friday versus the Suns. He's had an exceptional season, averaging a career-high 17.5 points, 4.6 rebounds, 1.3 blocks, and 1.0 steals while shooting an impressive 52.1% from deep. Fortunately, his absence was short-lived. All things considered, McDaniels can automatically be plugged back into all fantasy lineups, with
Mike Conley in line to return to the bench.

November 21, 2025
Chicago Bulls guard
Coby White (calf) has been ruled out for Friday's matchup with the Heat, pausing a strong stretch in which he averaged 26.0 points and 7.5 assists over his last two appearances. His absence removes a major scoring and creation piece on the second night of a back-to-back.
Tre Jones (ankle), however, has been upgraded to available, giving Chicago a much-needed stabilizer in the backcourt. With White sidelined,
Ayo Dosunmu and
Kevin Huerter should see expanded roles, while
Josh Giddey is expected to take on more initiation responsibilities. White remains a hold given his recent form and the chance he returns to meaningful minutes once healthy.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver
Matthew Golden (shoulder, wrist) is considered questionable ahead of the Week 12 matchup against the Minnesota Vikings. Golden was limited in practice throughout the week due to multiple injuries. The Packers injury report is loaded with injuries, but luckily
Christian Watson,
Romeo Doubs, and Bo Melton were all cleared to play. Golden hasn't been much of a factor in the offense anyway, so his absence wouldn't be a huge blow to this offense. The 22-year-old hasn't finished with more than 37 receiving yards in a single game since Week 6. Golden is a risky flex choice for this weekend, assuming he's active.

The Milwaukee Brewers signed first baseman/outfielder
Jake Bauers to a one-year, $2.7 million deal on Friday to avoid salary arbitration, according to Jon Heyman of the New York Post. Bauers will return to the Brewers for the 2026 season as a left-handed-platoon bat at first base, designated hitter, and left field. The 30-year-old hit .235/.353/.399 with a career-best .752 OPS, seven home runs, 28 RBI, 28 runs scored, and eight stolen bases in 85 regular-season games in his first year with the Brew Crew. Bauers made $1.4 million in 2025. He entered the month of September with a .653 OPS but had a 1.018 OPS in the final month of the regular season before posting a .973 OPS with a home run in six playoff games. If not for that strong final month of the year, Bauers' overall numbers would not have looked nearly as good, although he did make strides to drop his strikeout rate and increase his walk rate in 2025.

Cleveland Cavaliers center
Jarrett Allen (finger) won't play in Friday's Central Division showdown with the Indiana Pacers. He was listed as questionable heading into this contest because of a sprained right finger. Unfortunately, the injury will keep him off the floor for the first time this season. The 27-year-old has played as well as expected, averaging 14.8 points, 7.6 rebounds, and 1.1 steals in 14 appearances. While Allen is currently shooting a career-low 57.7% from the field, his absence will leave a significant void for fantasy managers. With Allen sidelined,
Evan Mobley will presumably shift to the five, with
Dean Wade,
Nae'Qwan Tomlin, and
Larry Nance Jr. in line to see extra minutes.

November 21, 2025
Memphis Grizzlies forward/center
Jaren Jackson Jr. (ankle) is doubtful for Saturday's matchup against the Mavericks after already missing Thursday's win over Sacramento. Jackson has averaged 17.9 points, 5.3 rebounds, and 1.3 blocks in 29 minutes this season, but his absence again would push
Santi Aldama into another start after he delivered 29 points, five rebounds, and three assists in 27 minutes on Thursday.
Zach Edey and
Jock Landale also produced well in expanded roles and remain useful streamers for blocks and boards if Jackson sits. Managers should treat Aldama as the priority add, with Edey offering upside in deeper formats while the frontcourt redistributes minutes and usage without Jackson.

Denver Broncos kicker
Wil Lutz has agreed to a three-year extension with the organization on Friday. This news comes after Lutz earned AFC Special Teams Player of the Week honors. Lutz went 5-for-5 on field goal attempts, including a game-winner against the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 11. This new deal will keep Lutz in Denver through 2028. Through 11 games, Lutz has made 17-of-20 field goal attempts, while connecting on all 24 of his extra point kicks. A well-deserved extension for Lutz who has been a viable option for the Broncos over the last three seasons.

Outfielder
Adolis Garcia is being non-tendered by the Texas Rangers on Friday, sources told Jesse Rogers of ESPN. Garcia will now become a free agent this offseason after hitting .227 with 19 home runs and a .665 OPS for the Rangers in 2025. The 32-year-old has battled through injuries in recent seasons, but plenty of teams should be interested after he had a ridiculous 1.108 OPS in the 2023 postseason on his way to helping Texas win its first World Series championship that year. The Rangers didn't want to have to pay the right-handed slugger around $12 million in salary arbitration for next season. In addition to Garcia, the Rangers also non-tendered catcher
Jonah Heim. In the last two years, Garcia's .675 OPS ranks 117th among 123 qualified hitters. In the 2023 postseason, he hit .323/.382/.726 in 15 games, including a walk-off homer in Game 1 of the World Series against the Arizona Diamondbacks.

Cleveland Browns quarterback
Dillon Gabriel (concussion) has been ruled out ahead of the Week 12 matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders. Despite returning to practice on Friday, Gabriel won't be active this weekend. He hasn't fully cleared concussion protocol, so he won't suit up. In his absence,
Shedeur Sanders will make his first career NFL start with
Bailey Zappe backing him up. Gabriel wasn't lighting up the box score when he was healthy, so Sanders might be able to steal away the starting gig with a strong performance. Otherwise, Gabriel should be ready to go for the Week 13 matchup against the San Francisco 49ers.

Cleveland Cavaliers guard
Jaylon Tyson (concussion) will play on Friday versus the Pacers. He was having an above-average year before missing the last five games, averaging 11.1 points, 4.0 rebounds, and 1.3 steals while shooting 46.2% from behind the arc. He was also receiving some action as a member of the starting lineup. Although it's nice to see any player back on the floor after an injury, Tyson's fantasy value may be at lowest of the season, considering he'll likely see limited minutes. In addition,
Darius Garland (toe) is available, so the 22-year-old may have a tougher time staying involved.
--Dennis ClausenSource: Camryn Justice
November 21, 2025
Cleveland Cavaliers guard
Darius Garland (toe) is available for Friday's clash with the Pacers. The left great toe injury has been a real nuisance this season, resulting in Garland appearing in just three contests. Not only that, but the 24-year-old is averaging a subpar 13.0 points, 5.0 assists, and 1.0 steals. With a productive resume like his from previous years, it's hard to imagine fantasy participants keeping him out of the lineup, even while operating under a minutes cap. Unfortunately, it may take Garland some time to regain his form, so there may be bumps for managers along the way. With Garland in the mix,
Nae'Qwan Tomlin, who had 10 points and two rebounds in Wednesday's loss to the Rockets, will be tough to trust from a fantasy standpoint, considering his role might be significantly reduced.

The San Francisco Giants are acquiring outfielder
Joey Wiemer from the Miami Marlins on Friday in exchange for cash considerations, according to MLB.com's AJ Cassavell. The Giants designated catcher
Andrew Knizner for assignment to clear space on the 40-man roster for Wiemer, who will give San Fran extra outfield depth going into next season. The 26-year-old hit .236 with a .715 OPS in 27 games for the Fish in 2025 before being DFA'd by the Marlins earlier this week. The soon-to-be 27-year-old is out of options and can't be sent to the minors without clearing waivers. Wiemer is considered an above-average defender and can play all three outfield spots, but at best, he's likely to operate as a platoon bat in the Bay Area. He has a .779 career OPS against left-handers and a .559 mark against righties. He won't move the needle in standard-sized fantasy baseball leagues in 2026.

Cleveland Browns tight end
David Njoku (knee) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's Week 12 matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders. Njoku missed back-to-back practices before returning to the field on Friday. It appears his participation on Friday was enough to clear him for this game. His fantasy value is limited considering he continues splitting up the reps with
Harold Fannin Jr. at the moment. Njoku has three receptions for 28 yards over his last two games. The veteran tight end is a risky start with
Shedeur Sanders making his first career start under center.

Cleveland Browns running back
Dylan Sampson will take on the Las Vegas Raiders on the road in Week 12. Sampson has been overshadowed by workhorse
Quinshon Judkins as the former has seen more than four carries just once all season and has just one catch for three yards over his past two games. The Raiders set up as a reasonably tough matchup for Sampson and company as they are allowing just the 19th-most fantasy points per game to opposing running backs this season. With Sampson unlikely to approach double-digit touches in Week 12, he sets up as a low-end RB5 who should not be in fantasy lineups heading into Week 12's clash with the Raiders.

November 21, 2025
Cleveland Browns running back
Quinshon Judkins has been struggling to find room to run of late, rushing for just 153 scoreless yards with just five catches for eight yards over his past three games. While Judkins has shown to be a talented NFL runner, a punchless Cleveland passing offense is clearly making things tough on the rookie, as defenses can key in on stopping him. He will look to turn it around in Week 12's road matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders. The Raiders have been decent against the run this season, allowing the 19th-most fantasy points per game to running backs. Judkins has been seeing almost all of the backfield work in Cleveland, which is keeping him fantasy relevant, but he shapes up as a low-end RB2 in fantasy for this weekend.

Washington Wizards forward/center
Marvin Bagley III (hip) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Raptors after being downgraded from doubtful, leaving Washington without both of its primary bigs. Bagley started for
Alexandre Sarr (toe) on Wednesday and logged 13 points, seven rebounds, and three assists in 30 minutes, and he has averaged 7.6 points and 4.4 rebounds in 15.8 minutes this season. With Bagley and Sarr sidelined, the Wizards are forced into a thin frontcourt rotation featuring
Tristan Vukcevic and
Anthony Gill, with Vukcevic offering the most short-term appeal for deep formats.
Cam Whitmore and
Kyshawn George may also see steadier usage as Washington redistributes possessions and rebounding opportunities.

Toronto Maple Leafs center Auston Matthews (lower body) practiced on Friday, but head coach Craig Berube labeled him as "doubtful" for Saturday's matchup against the Montreal Canadiens. The Maple Leafs captain is in danger of missing a fifth consecutive game due to a lower-body injury. Health issues and poor form have left Matthews in sixth place on Toronto's scoring charts. The three-time Rocket Richard Trophy winner has totaled only 14 points (nine goals, five assists) in 17 appearances this season. Matthew Knies (lower body), who has sat out two games, is also considered doubtful for Saturday, meaning Calle Jarnkrok will skate on the top line. Bobby McMann and Max Domi are also penciled in for top-six jobs.

Cleveland Browns quarterback
Shedeur Sanders appears to be in line to make his first career start in Week 12's road game against the Las Vegas Raiders. Cleveland's starting quarterback for much of the year,
Dillon Gabriel (concussion), was forced from a Week 11 game early with a concussion and is unlikely to progress through the league's protocol in time to take the field on Sunday. That gives Sanders a chance to improve upon a rough NFL debut last week, which saw him complete just four of his 16 passes for 47 yards while throwing one interception and taking two sacks. The Raiders have been decent against quarterbacks this season, allowing the 15th-most fantasy points per game to the position. Sanders is tough to trust this weekend and settles in as a QB3 in all fantasy formats.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end
Cade Otton is looking to bounce back after posting a dud during last week's game against the Buffalo Bills. Otton hauled in two of his five targets for 28 yards in the loss. Prior to that, Otton had finished with 40 receiving yards or more in five straight games. His role in the offensive game plan could be reduced if
Chris Godwin (leg) is able to suit up in Week 12. Regardless, Otton has proven himself capable enough to make plays that the ball should still be coming his way. The 26-year-old has seen five or more targets in six straight games. Fantasy managers should be able to trust Otton as a TE2 for this upcoming matchup against the Los Angeles Rams.

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver
Rashod Bateman (ankle) was unable to practice all week and has been officially ruled out for the Week 12 contest this Sunday against the visiting New York Jets. Bateman will miss his second straight game after suffering a high-ankle sprain in the Week 10 win over the Minnesota Vikings, but the team is optimistic he'll have a chance to play in next week's Thanksgiving Day game on Thursday versus the division-rival Cincinnati Bengals. Fantasy managers won't exactly be holding their breath for Bateman, as he's been unreliable in 2025 with just 16 catches for 194 yards and two touchdowns on 32 targets after a career year in 2024. With Bateman out again this weekend,
Zay Flowers,
DeAndre Hopkins, and
Tylan Wallace will have additional opportunities in the passing game, as will tight ends
Mark Andrews and
Isaiah Likely.
