Green Bay Packers wide receiver
Christian Watson broke out in his fourth game of the season in Sunday's 27-20 win on the road at MetLife Stadium against the New York Giants, catching four of his five targets for 46 yards and his first two touchdowns of the season. Watson didn't make his 2025 debut until Week 8 after tearing the ACL in his knee in the Week 18 regular-season finale last year. In his first three games, he caught eight of his 12 targets for 188 yards and no scores. The 26-year-old scored in the first and fourth quarters in the Week 11 win, with his second TD reception being a contested-catch grab with multiple receivers draped all over him in the end zone. Targets might be harder to come by when
Jayden Reed (collarbone, foot) returns from Injured Reserve, but for now, Watson should remain a key contributor and big-play specialist in the Packers' offense. Watson will be in play as a WR4/flex with big-play upside in a Week 12 divisional clash against the Minnesota Vikings.

Buffalo Bills running back
James Cook wasn't very efficient on the ground in Sunday's 44-32 win over the visiting Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 11, but he still managed to go over 100 scrimmage yards while securing his first receiving touchdown of the year. Cook had 16 rushing attempts for 48 yards on the ground (3.0 yards per carry) while adding three catches on three targets for a season-high 66 yards through the air and his first receiving TD (eighth total in 2025). The 26-year-old had a tough time finding space to run on Sunday against a stout Buccaneers defensive front, but he salvaged his day for fantasy managers by contributing as a pass-catcher, finishing as Buffalo's second leading receiver. Cook's TD came on a 25-yard reception. He's a must-start in all fantasy formats, but Cook might need more contributions as a pass-catcher again in Week 12 in a tough matchup on the ground against the Houston Texans on Thursday Night Football.

In his first game since Week 4, San Francisco 49ers quarterback
Brock Purdy completed 19 of 26 pass attempts for 200 yards, three touchdowns, and zero interceptions in his team's 41-22 win over the Arizona Cardinals. Purdy missed six games due to a toe injury, but he appears to be regaining his health at the perfect time for San Francisco. Across three starts in 2025, Purdy has now thrown for 786 yards, seven touchdowns, and four interceptions. In addition to Purdy, the 49ers also got wide receiver
Ricky Pearsall back from a knee injury that has sidelined him from Week 4. The return of both players helped San Francisco put up a season-high 41 points against Arizona. Purdy profiles as a low-end starting quarterback option in single-QB fantasy leagues and a must-start quarterback in two-QB formats heading into a Week 12 matchup against the Carolina Panthers.

Kansas City Chiefs tight end
Travis Kelce was the focal point of his team's passing offense in their 22-19 Week 11 loss to the Denver Broncos. Kelce was targeted a team-high 13 times, recording nine catches for 91 yards and a touchdown. The 36-year-old has now recorded 50 receptions for 631 yards and four scores on 66 targets across 10 games so far this season. Kelce has played some of his best football of late, recording 19 catches for 256 yards and two touchdowns on 26 targets over his last three games. Even with star wideout
Rashee Rice back in the lineup after missing the first six games of 2025 due to suspension, Kelce has still been a priority target-earner for Chiefs quarterback
Patrick Mahomes. Kelce profiles as a must-start fantasy tight end heading into a Week 12 matchup against the Indianapolis Colts.

Baltimore Ravens running back
Derrick Henry broke his two-game touchdown drought in his team's Week 11 win over the Cleveland Browns. Henry rushed for 103 yards and a score on 18 carries and added two catches for 19 yards on two targets. The 31-year-old has now recorded 807 rushing yards and seven touchdowns across 10 games so far this season. In the three games since Ravens quarterback
Lamar Jackson returned from the hamstring injury that sidelined him for over a month, Henry is averaging 99 rushing yards per game. With Baltimore getting back to its winning ways and the offense finding itself in more favorable game scripts, Henry looks to be back to his old self. He profiles as a must-start fantasy running back heading into a Week 12 matchup against the New York Jets.

The Cleveland Browns defense played well in a 23-16 loss to the Baltimore Ravens in Week 11. Cleveland's only touchdown of the game came on a Devin Bush 23-yard pick-six in the second quarter. The Browns also added five sacks and forced two more turnovers in addition to the pick-six, but it wasn't enough to bring home the win against the division-rival Ravens. The team also wasted an elite performance from Myles Garrett, who notched four of the team's five sacks in the contest, giving him 15 on the season. The Browns will be a high-end fantasy D/ST in Week 12's road matchup against a struggling Las Vegas Raiders offense.

Cleveland Browns tight end
David Njoku continued his recent quiet stretch in a 23-16 loss to the Baltimore Ravens in Week 11. Njoku finished the game with just one catch for seven yards on two targets. The veteran tight end has only caught three passes for 28 yards and one touchdown over his past two games as the Browns have not been looking his way frequently when they drop back to pass. Extremely hard to trust as a fantasy starter going forward, Njoku will hope to get his season jump-started in Week 12 on the road against the Las Vegas Raiders.

Cleveland Browns rookie tight end
Harold Fannin Jr. caught two of his five targets for 26 yards in a 23-16 loss to the Baltimore Ravens in Week 11. Fannin's quiet afternoon in the passing game was still good enough for a second-place finish on the Browns in receiving yards, as they only threw for 115 yards as a team. The rookie tight end has been a solid fantasy asset this season, although he has cooled off a bit over his past two games, with just six catches for 70 scoreless yards over that span. He will look to get back into the end zone in Week 12's road matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders.

San Francisco 49ers tight end
George Kittle had a vintage game in Week 11, recording six catches for 67 yards and two touchdowns on six targets in his team's 41-22 win over the Arizona Cardinals. Kittle showed off his established chemistry with 49ers quarterback
Brock Purdy, who made his first start since Week 4. The 32-year-old Kittle has now hauled in 27 catches for 251 yards and five touchdowns on 30 targets across six games played this season. He's heating up of late, recording 15 receptions for 151 yards and three scores over the last two weeks. Kittle profiles as a must-start tight end heading into a Week 12 matchup against the Carolina Panthers.

Cleveland Browns wide receiver
Jerry Jeudy caught just three of his seven targets for 21 yards in a 23-16 loss to the Baltimore Ravens in Week 11. Jeudy turned in his best performance of the season back in Week 10, catching six of his 12 targets for 78 yards and a touchdown, but was unable to stay hot against the Ravens, despite what appeared to be a plus matchup for receivers on paper. Jeudy is turning in a disappointing season as the Browns' No. 1 receiver and has been borderline unusable in fantasy most weeks. He will look to break out in Week 12's road matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders.

Cleveland Browns wide receiver
Cedric Tillman caught three of his four targets for 52 yards in a 23-16 loss to the Baltimore Ravens in Week 11. Tillman wound up leading the Browns in receiving in a game where they only threw for 115 yards. Things weren't helped by the fact that
Dillon Gabriel was knocked out of the game with a concussion and
Shedeur Sanders only completed four of his 16 passes in relief. Tillman has not found the end zone since Week 2 but his decent outing on Sunday was at least encouraging. He will look to build on that in Week 12's road matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders.

ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that the knee injury Atlanta Falcons wide receiver
Drake London (knee) suffered in Week 11 is "not thought to be overly serious." Schefter also reports that London will undergo additional tests to determine the "extent of the injury and how much time he will miss, if any." London was forced to exit early from his team's Week 11 loss to the Carolina Panthers due to the injury. Before getting hurt, he recorded seven catches for 119 yards on nine targets. Any absence for London would be a devastating blow for the Atlanta offense. Across nine games this season, the 24-year-old has hauled in 60 receptions for 810 yards and six touchdowns on 94 targets. If he misses time, Falcons wideout
Darnell Mooney and tight end
Kyle Pitts Sr. would both be in for a bump in targets. Atlanta will travel to New Orleans to take on the Saints in Week 12.

Cleveland Browns running back
Quinshon Judkins carried the ball 17 times for 59 yards and failed to catch either of his two targets in a 23-16 loss to the Baltimore Ravens in Week 11. Judkins was unable to capitalize on what appeared to be a good matchup on paper against the Baltimore run defense, as he managed just 3.5 yards per carry in the loss. The rookie has now been held out of the end zone in three consecutive games as the Cleveland offense continues to struggle to move the ball. Judkins will look to bounce back in Week 12 against the Las Vegas Raiders on the road.

There's initial concern that Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback
Aaron Rodgers has a "slight break" in his left wrist, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Schefter reports that Rodgers will undergo further testing on Monday, but it's "shaping up" to be Steelers backup quarterback
Mason Rudolph who gets the start in Week 12 against the Chicago Bears. Rodgers was forced to exit early from Pittsburgh's Week 11 win over the Cincinnati Bengals. Rudolph played well after taking over for Rodgers against Cincinnati, completing 12 of 16 pass attempts for 127 yards, one touchdown, and zero interceptions. It's unclear exactly how long Rodgers will be sidelined, but it appears as though Rudolph will be forced into action in the short term.

Arizona Cardinals quarterback
Jacoby Brissett completed 47 of his 57 pass attempts for 452 passing yards, two touchdowns, and two interceptions during Sunday's Week 11 loss against the San Francisco 49ers. Brissett's 47 completions broke the NFL's all-time single-game record, surpassing
Jared Goff and Drew Bledsoe, who both once had 45 completions. The two turnovers are a blemish on his stat line, but the veteran quarterback still drastically exceeded expectations in fantasy football, even without
Marvin Harrison Jr. (appendix) at his disposal. He has 11 total touchdowns in five games since taking over for
Kyler Murray (foot), and during that span, he ranks as the overall QB4 in fantasy points per game. He has emerged as a must-start quarterback for Week 12 against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
