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.

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.

Baltimore Ravens tight end
Isaiah Likely has yet to post a breakthrough performance and hasn't found the end zone yet this season. That's a big difference from his six touchdowns and four double-digit fantasy point finishes from last year. Likely has also been dealing with some nagging injuries for most of the year, which could be playing a part in everything. The New York Jets are 15th against opposing tight ends this season, and have only given up one touchdown and 160 yards to the position over the last four weeks. While Likely should see an extra target or two with
Rashod Bateman (ankle) sidelined, it doesn't seem like a prime time for a breakout performance. He's currently projected as a low-end TE2, leaving him outside of the fantasy radar in most leagues.

November 22, 2025
Tennessee Titans quarterback
Cameron Ward has struggled throughout his rookie season, ranking as the overall QB30 in fantasy football so far. He has completed just 58.4% of his passes with six touchdowns and 12 turnovers. Furthermore, the No. 1 pick hasn't finished higher than QB17 in any game this season. Some of the blame can be placed on Ward, but some can also be placed on a lack of weapons around him.
Calvin Ridley (leg) is done for the year, leaving him with a wide receiver room led by
Chimere Dike and
Elic Ayomanor. Both receivers have shown promise, but they're still low-draft-capital rookies who are in the midst of an adjustment period. Tennessee's offense is rounded out by
Tony Pollard,
Tyjae Spears, and
Chig Okonkwo, who have also been mediocre at best this year. To make matters worse, Ward will take on a very strong Seattle Seahawks pass defense in Week 12. Seattle has allowed the sixth-fewest passing yards per game since Week 7, and its nine interceptions rank eighth-most among defenses this season. Ward should have another rough outing against an imposing Seahawks defense, leaving him ranked as the overall QB27 in this week's RotoBaller fantasy rankings.

Baltimore Ravens running back
Keaton Mitchell has been seeing more and more playing time as the season has progressed. He started off as a healthy scratch and then saw a season-high 26% of the offensive snaps in Week 11. This was with
Justice Hill sidelined, however, and he has been officially cleared to return against the New York Jets in Week 12. The Jets are ranked 27th against opposing backfields over the last four weeks, but Mitchell has only seen 18% of the snaps, at the most, with Hill incorporated. That leaves Mitchell as no more than a dart throw in deeper leagues, otherwise he's better as a stash option that may get some more playing time down the road.
--Alex FischbeinSource: RotoBaller
November 22, 2025
New York Giants tight end
Theo Johnson has emerged as a top-12 option in fantasy scoring this season, benefiting from the emergence of quarterback
Jaxson Dart. However, even with Dart sidelined due to a concussion last weekend, Johnson was able to stay relevant with three catches for 36 yards while commanding targets from
Jameis Winston. Dart has been ruled out for Week 12 against the Detroit Lions, leaving Winston in line to start a second consecutive game. While Johnson's ceiling is highest with Dart on the field, he should continue to produce in an offense led by Winston, who is known for airing out the ball with his gunslinger mentality. Johnson ranks as the overall TE11 in this week's RotoBaller fantasy rankings and should be started in most leagues.
--Andersen PickardSource: RotoBaller
November 22, 2025
New York Giants wide receiver
Isaiah Hodgins led the team in receiving yards last week, but he could be relegated to a depth role during this Sunday's Week 12 matchup against the Detroit Lions. Hodgins' increased volume last week was a result of
Darius Slayton (hamstring) being sidelined, but now that Slayton is back, he'll likely drop to third or lower in the pecking order. If Hodgins defies expectation and puts together another good game, he could get onto the fantasy radar for Week 13. For now, though, managers should temper expectations and assume that Slayton and
Wan'Dale Robinson are the only Giants receivers worth starting in fantasy football for Week 12. Hodgins ranks as the WR74 in RotoBaller's weekly fantasy rankings.
--Andersen PickardSource: RotoBaller
November 22, 2025
Baltimore Ravens tight end
Mark Andrews has been back to his old ways, finding the end zone and registering TE1 finishes in three straight weeks. Week 11, he actually scored on a 35-yard run out of a fake tush push which gave the Ravens the lead and eventually the win. In those last three weeks, Andrews has totalled 13 targets, eight catches, 68 receiving yards, three receiving touchdowns, and three carries for 39 yards and one score on the ground. In Week 12, he takes on the New York Jets, who have been around the middle of the pack in terms of defending opposing tight ends. They've allowed seven total touchdowns to the position, and give up 13.88 fantasy points per game. Andrews should remain heavily involved, especially with
Rashod Bateman (ankle) ruled out, which gives him the boost to TE1 value.

November 22, 2025
New York Jets running back
Isaiah Davis shouldn't be considered for fantasy when his team squares off with the hosting Baltimore Ravens this Sunday. Preceding New York's bye in Week 9, Davis looked to be garnering a bit more of the backfield touch share as they picked up their first win of the campaign in a shootout with Cincinnati. However, instead of a steady increase in workload, the second-year pro has accrued just six total touches and 22 scrimmage yards in the two ensuing games. Meanwhile, teammate
Breece Hall took over as the Jets' unquestioned lead rusher, pushing Davis down under 20 snaps (14, 16) for the first time since back in Week 6. With a minimal role in an underachieving New York scheme, the 23-year-old can be safely avoided in shallow leagues. He comes in at the PPR RB44 in RotoBaller's Week 12 ranks.
--Alex CiullaSource: ESPN
November 22, 2025
New York Jets wide receiver
John Metchie III will try to build off Week 11's performance in Sunday's clash with the hosting Baltimore Ravens. The Taiwan native made his second appearance with New York in last Thursday's loss to New England, leading the team in receiving yards (45), while pulling in 3-of-3 targets and his first touchdown of the campaign. Notably, Metchie III played the most snaps of all Jets' wideouts (82%) and lined up all over the formation. Things will be a bit different in Week 12, considering head coach Aaron Glenn has officially made the switch to veteran signal-caller
Tyrod Taylor in lieu of an inefficient
Justin Fields. Only time will tell if that turns out to be an upgrade, but either way, Metchie III should get solid opportunity, as he and new teammate
Adonai Mitchell form a sort of 1A/1B tandem in the wake of
Garrett Wilson's (knee) injury. The former Houston Texans wideout ranks as RotoBaller's PPR WR76 for his matchup with Baltimore.
--Alex CiullaSource: ESPN
November 22, 2025
Baltimore Ravens wide receiver
Zay Flowers has been one of the most consistent 10-to-12 fantasy point finishers in the NFL this year. That could be either good or bad depending on roster makeups and depth of league, but he's registered six finishes in that range for half-PPR formats. While the New York Jets are only 2-8 this season, they aren't the easiest matchup against opposing receiver groups. They're ranked 13th on the season, but they dipped to 23rd in the last four weeks and have given up a total of 37 receptions for 429 yards and two touchdowns. Flowers should see the same volume that he's received this season, but he's on a nine-game scoreless streak at the moment. That leaves him as a mid-level WR2 projection yet again.
--Alex FischbeinSource: RotoBaller
November 22, 2025
New York Jets wide receiver
Adonai Mitchell will get another opportunity to garner an increased piece of his team's passing pie in Week 12's road outing with the Baltimore Ravens. Mitchell made his Jets' debut in last Thursday's loss to the Patriots. Despite commanding the most targets on New York's roster (six), he came away with just one catch and ten yards. Not all of that was the ex-Indianapolis Colt's fault, but he didn't help his case with a few brutal drops. With teammate
Garrett Wilson (knee) out for the foreseeable future, it's the least tenured Jets' pass-catchers, Mitchell and
John Metchie III, with the highest probability of emerging from the pack in his absence. For what it's worth, the latter played on more snaps in Week 11, though it's possible that fluctuates as they spend more time with the organization. Maybe Mitchell sports modest production down the stretch, but fantasy managers can avoid him outside of DFS formats for at least another week. The 23-year-old ranks as RotoBaller's PPR WR72 for Sunday's contest with the hosting Ravens.

November 22, 2025
Baltimore Ravens running back
Derrick Henry found the end zone last week after going without a touchdown in the two weeks prior. It was also a huge bounce back from the first time he went up against the Cleveland Browns and only registered two fantasy points. In Week 12, he goes up against the New York Jets defense that lost one of their best run-stoppers at the trade deadline. Overall, this season, the Jets are ranked 19th against running backs, but they're 27th over the last four weeks with an average of 28.97 fantasy points allowed per game. That gives Henry RB1 value again heading into this matchup.
--Alex FischbeinSource: RotoBaller
November 22, 2025
New York Giants wide receiver
Darius Slayton (hamstring) will operate as the team's No. 2 option alongside
Wan'Dale Robinson after being removed from the injury report ahead of Week 12 against the Detroit Lions. Slayton returns from a one-game absence, and he'll be catching passes from his third different quarterback of the season as
Jameis Winston fills in for
Jaxson Dart (concussion). While Dart elevated Slayton's productivity, the receiver should have similar upside with Winston under center. The veteran quarterback is a gunslinger who is not afraid to air the ball out, racking up completions and yardage. Slayton had nine catches for 151 yards over his previous two games, and he should build on that momentum as a low-end WR3/flex against a Lions defense allowing the 11th-most fantasy points to wide receivers in 2025.
--Andersen PickardSource: RotoBaller
November 22, 2025
New York Jets tight end
Mason Taylor isn't a favorable fantasy start for his outing against an improved Baltimore Ravens' defense. The LSU product had a three-game stretch earlier in the season in which he racked up an 18/150 line across 25 targets, although he's only commanded more than four once in the five games since. Furthermore, he's yet to top 34 yards in any of them, and has done so just twice in ten games. The change to
Tyrod Taylor could breathe a breath of fresh air into a stagnant Jets' offense, but Baltimore has been stingy of late, and unkind to tight ends on the season as a whole - yielding the ninth-fewest fantasy points per game to the position (11.7). The rookie is still a nice long-term bet and a strong dynasty stash. However, his outlook in redraft leagues isn't as rosy. Taylor ranks as RotoBaller's PPR TE21 ahead of his outing with Baltimore.
--Alex CiullaSource: ESPN
November 22, 2025
New York Jets running back
Breece Hall will retain his workhorse role this Sunday in the team's road outing with the Baltimore Ravens in Week 12. Hall has been up and down in 2025 as a part of an inconsistent Jets' attack. The volume has been there, though, and he's relegated backfield mate
Isaiah Davis to a strictly handcuff role over New York's previous two outings while boasting a 70% snap share or greater. Sunday's meeting with the Ravens presents as an intriguing one, considering the unit was a better matchup for opposing offenses earlier in the campaign, but they've clamped down in recent weeks. There's some hope that the Jets' offense shows a little life with the changeover to
Tyrod Taylor at quarterback. If that's the case, Hall could be productive against a defense that's been liable to give up yardage. He's RotoBaller's PPR RB14 ahead of this weekend's slate of action.
--Alex CiullaSource: ESPN
November 22, 2025
New England Patriots tight end
Hunter Henry is gearing up for an exceptionally favorable matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 12. The veteran caught four of his six targets for 45 yards last week and is one of
Drake Maye's favorite targets, establishing himself as a fringe top-12 tight end in fantasy football this year. He should build on his value this week with arguably the highest ceiling he's had all year long. Cincinnati has the league's worst defense against tight ends, and it's not particularly close. They have allowed the most receiving yards, the most touchdowns, and the most fantasy points to tight ends in 2025. The gap in fantasy points allowed by the Bengals and the second-worst defense against tight ends is actually greater than the gap between the second-worst defense and the league median. Meanwhile, Cincy's 12 touchdowns allowed to tight ends are five more than the next-highest. Time and time again, tight ends have feasted against the Bengals. Now, Henry will have a terrific opportunity to benefit from a matchup against this susceptible defense. He ranks as the overall TE7 in this week's RotoBaller fantasy rankings.
--Andersen PickardSource: RotoBaller
November 22, 2025
In a move that had been put on hold due to a two-game win streak, New York Jets head coach Aaron Glenn finally made the switch from a struggling
Justin Fields to quarterback
Tyrod Taylor ahead of Sunday's game with the hosting Baltimore Ravens. Taylor has appeared in three games already this season, though this will be his second official start, and he won't be given any courtesy. Despite favorable-looking season-long numbers for the defensive unit, Baltimore has been a force since Week 6, a span in which they've yet to allow more than 19 points. Teams have had luck moving the ball through the air versus the Ravens, but the veteran's lack of proven offensive weaponry figures to pose an issue against a talented group of players. Taylor lands as RotoBaller's QB24 for this weekend, and shouldn't be considered outside of a streaming option in superflex/2QB formats.
--Alex CiullaSource: ESPN
November 22, 2025
New England Patriots wide receiver
Mack Hollins has been a pleasant surprise lately, catching 19 passes for 268 yards over his last four games. He ranks as the WR23 in PPR leagues during that span, but a portion of his contributions came with
Kayshon Boutte (hamstring) sidelined. Boutte returns to action this Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 12, raising questions about Hollins' expected role. Fortunately, the veteran receiver was able to carve out a consistent role even before Boutte suffered his injury. In his final game before Boutte got hurt, Hollins played 72% of the snaps with seven catches for 89 yards. For comparison, last weekend, the 32-year-old had an 85% snap share with four catches and 64 yards. Even if Hollins' snap share drops a few percentage points with Boutte back, he should still maintain a sizable role in New England's offense. Managers should be wary of the fact that Cincinnati has allowed the second-fewest fantasy points to receivers playing out wide this season, but Hollins still has upside given his possession skills, as well as his occasional reps in the slot (21.2% rate). He ranks as RotoBaller's WR45 this week and could be a decent flex play.
--Andersen PickardSource: RotoBaller
November 22, 2025
New England Patriots wide receiver
Kayshon Boutte (hamstring) returns from a two-game absence this Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals. While fantasy managers will be excited to get the third-year receiver back for Week 12, expectations should be tempered as he prepares for a challenging matchup. Cincinnati's defense has been soft in many areas this year, but its one main area of strength has been shutting down receivers who operate out wide. The Bengals have allowed the second-fewest points to perimeter receivers, which is where Boutte has amassed 89.3% of his snaps. Even though he'll likely be the Patriots' No. 2 receiver this week, he ranks outside the top 36 fantasy receivers and has a very low floor in this specific matchup.
Stefon Diggs and
Hunter Henry are far better fantasy options among the Patriots' pass catchers in Week 12.
--Andersen PickardSource: RotoBaller
November 22, 2025
Baltimore Ravens quarterback
Lamar Jackson has registered two weeks in a row outside of QB1 territory. This is the first time he's done so since the 2023 season from Week 8 to Week 10. Last season, every time he had a lackluster performance, he followed it up with a top six fantasy finish. In Week 12, Jackson and company take on the New York Jets, who rank 22nd against opposing quarterbacks and allow an average of 18.61 fantasy points per game. The Jets haven't even collected a single interception all season and have only forced one turnover which was back in Week 6. So, if there's anyone to have a bounce back game against, it's the Jets. Jackson is projected for a return to QB1 in this matchup, making him a must-start once again.
--Alex FischbeinSource: RotoBaller
November 22, 2025
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.

November 22, 2025
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.
--Andersen PickardSource: Dianna Russini
November 22, 2025
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.

Los Angeles Clippers forward
Kawhi Leonard (ankle) will miss Saturday's matchup in Charlotte, marking his 10th consecutive absence. Leonard opened the season in peak form, putting up 24.3 points with 5.7 rebounds and 3.5 assists in 33.5 minutes while shooting 50.5 percent from the field. His continued absence, paired with
Derrick Jones Jr. (knee) being out multiple weeks, leaves the Clippers thin at both forward spots.
James Harden absorbs more of the scoring and creation load, while
John Collins and
Ivica Zubac take on steadier touches.
Nicolas Batum and
Bogdan Bogdanovic remain the primary wing replacements, and
Kobe Sanders should continue holding a larger rotation role.

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.

November 22, 2025
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.
--Nathan HarveySource: Chicago Bears
November 22, 2025
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.
