Dallas Cowboys quarterback
Dak Prescott lit up the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 11, completing 25 of 33 pass attempts for 268 yards, four touchdowns, and zero interceptions. The 32-year-old will now face a significantly tougher test in Week 12 against the division rival Philadelphia Eagles, who have held the Green Bay Packers and Detroit Lions to single-digit points in each of the last two weeks. For the season, the Eagles are tied with the Denver Broncos and Kansas City Chiefs for the fewest passing touchdowns allowed (nine). In Prescott's first matchup against Philadelphia this season in Week 1, he completed 21 of 34 pass attempts for 188 yards and failed to throw for a touchdown. Still, Prescott is in the midst of one of his better seasons, completing 69.9% of his pass attempts for 2,587 yards, 21 touchdowns, and six interceptions across 10 games. He profiles as a low-end fantasy QB1 in Week 12 against Philadelphia.

Las Vegas Raiders tight end
Michael Mayer has maintained a consistent snap share this season and has flashed the ability that made him the 35th overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft. Mayer is firmly behind second-year tight end
Brock Bowers in the pecking order, but he is on the field a decent amount in two-tight-end sets. For the season, Mayer has recorded 21 catches for 168 yards and a touchdown on 31 targets in eight games. The 24-year-old had his best game of the season in Week 6 against the Titans without Bowers, catching five of seven targets for 70 yards. He's stayed involved with Bowers back in the fold, catching nine of 15 targets for 61 yards in the past three games. But the upside is significantly capped in a poor Raiders offense and isn't a fantasy option in most leagues.

Tennessee Titans rookie running back
Kalel Mullings (ankle) is expected to be activated off of Injured Reserve for the team's Week 12 matchup against the Seattle Seahawks, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. A sixth-round draft pick out of Michigan, Mullings has been sidelined by an ankle injury since Week 3. He'll join a crowded backfield mix in Tennessee that also includes
Tony Pollard and
Tyjae Spears. Pollard and Spears have basically been splitting snaps 50/50 in recent weeks, making the Titans' running back depth chart a difficult one for fantasy managers to sort out. Mullings is unlikely to play a fantasy-relevant role himself, but he could steal a few touches away from both Pollard and Spears, diminishing what has already been underwhelming fantasy production from the two veterans.

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver
Tyler Lockett has carved out a meaningful role in the offense after signing with the team on October 27. Lockett began the season with the Tennessee Titans and didn't make an impact with just 10 catches (21 targets) for 70 yards in seven games. The 33-year-old has shown he still has something left in the tank in Las Vegas, totaling more receiving yards (77) in three games with the team. The fantasy upside is still very limited as the third option behind
Brock Bowers and
Tre Tucker for a Raiders passing attack led by
Geno Smith, who has struggled mightily this season. Lockett has some appeal in Week 12 against the Browns in deeper formats, but is best left on the waiver wire in 12-team leagues.

The Athletic's Dianna Russini writes that viewers should expect to see a "heavy dose" of Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back
Sean Tucker in his team's Week 12 matchup against the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday Night Football. The 24-year-old had a breakout game in Week 11, recording 140 scrimmage yards and three touchdowns against the Buffalo Bills. With Buccaneers running back
Bucky Irving (shoulder, toe) out for at least one more week, Tucker and
Rachaad White will handle the backfield work for Tampa Bay in Week 12. Based on Tucker's recent performance and Russini's reporting, it appears that White may be fading into more of a complementary role. Tucker profiles as a high-end RB3/flex option for fantasy managers in a tough matchup against the Rams.

Tennessee Titans rookie wide receiver
Xavier Restrepo will be active for Sunday's matchup against the Seattle Seahawks, according to Paul Kuharsky of PaulKuharsky.com. Restrepo will make his NFL debut after being on the practice squad for the first 11 weeks of the season. He will get his first opportunity as a result of
Calvin Ridley (leg) being out for the season and rookie
Elic Ayomanor (hamstring) being ruled out for Week 12. The undrafted free agent out of the University of Miami will look to make an impact as he takes the field with his college quarterback,
Cameron Ward. Restrepo had a monster final season at Miami with Ward, leading the ACC with 1,127 yards and 11 touchdowns and being named a first-team All-American. It remains to be seen how much playing time the rookie will see on Sunday, but he is an intriguing stash candidate in deeper formats and dynasty leagues.

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Tre Tucker scored his first touchdown since Week 3 in last week's loss to the Dallas Cowboys, finishing with four catches for 47 yards on eight targets. Tucker has served as the No. 2 option in the Raiders' passing game following the team's trading
Jakobi Meyers to the Jaguars at the deadline. The Raiders offense still flows through superstar tight end
Brock Bowers, along with rookie
Ashton Jeanty, but Tucker has made plays in his limited opportunities. The 24-year-old has a tough matchup against a stout Cleveland Browns defense in Week 12. Tucker projects as a risky start as a WR3/flex option in 12-team leagues.

Arizona Cardinals running back
Michael Carter saw a spike in targets during Week 11, with a season high of seven targets in Sunday's loss to the San Francisco 49ers. He finished with six yards on two rushing attempts while catching five of seven targets for 22 yards in Week 11. The 26-year-old will remain the change of pace back with teammate
Bam Knight (ankle) suiting up in Week 12 despite battling an ankle injury all week. Carter is RotoBaller's 43rd-ranked running back in PPR Leagues heading into a tough Week 12 matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars. The Jaguars have allowed the fewest rushing yards and the fourth fewest rushing touchdowns this season. In a limited role, Carter will need to see a heavy workload in the passing attack to stay fantasy-relevant for fantasy managers. Carter is a desperation flex option in deeper PPR Leagues in Week 12.

Cincinnati Bengals tight end
Noah Fant has enjoyed an uptick in production of late. He scored a touchdown in two of his previous four appearances. The 28-year-old is also coming off his second five-catch game of the season. With that said,
Mike Gesicki (pectoral) was activated from the Injured Reserve list and is set to make his return for Sunday's matchup with the Patriots. With
Ja'Marr Chase sidelined for that one in order to serve a one-game suspension, there will be additional targets up for grabs behind
Tee Higgins. Although Gesicki is reportedly in line for a more prominent role in Week 12, it appears Fant has a good thing going with
Joe Flacco, meaning the duo may continue to connect. While Gesicki's presence significantly lowers Fants' ceiling, it's hard to imagine he'll go away completely, giving him some upside for desperate, deep-league fantasy managers.

Las Vegas Raiders tight end
Brock Bowers is a set-and-forget type of player, even in a tougher matchup against the Cleveland Browns in Week 12. Bowers has been dominant when healthy this season. He returned from a three-game absence in Week 9 against the Jaguars and put up the second-most fantasy points (43.3) in a game this season. The superstar tight end followed it up with a dud performance on Thursday night in Week 10, but bounced back with a solid performance last week against the Cowboys, catching seven of 12 targets for 72 yards. With that performance, Bowers has the most receptions (151) by a tight end in their first two seasons in NFL history, and still has seven games remaining. The Raiders have moved him all around the field in an effort to get him advantageous looks, and he should be in all lineups in Week 12 against the Browns.

Cincinnati Bengals tight end
Mike Gesicki (pectoral) practiced in full all week and was activated from the Injured Reserve list heading into Sunday's meeting with the New England Patriots. The 30-year-old wasn't having a productive season before going down with an injury, catching only eight passes (16 targets) for 61 yards while failing to find the end zone. With that said,
Ja'Marr Chase won't be available versus the Pats in order to serve a one-game suspension, meaning Gesicki's return comes at a perfect time. The veteran is reportedly in line for "a big role." Still, fantasy managers have heard this about other players countless times over the years, so he shouldn't be viewed as anything more than a risky, high-upside streaming option, considering his production can go in either direction in the matchup with a tough Patriots defense. It's also somewhat important to remember that
Noah Fant has scored in two of his last four appearances.

Arizona Cardinals running back
Bam Knight (ankle) was a full participant in Friday's practice and will play in their Week 12 matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Knight had been battling an ankle injury all week, but will lead the Cardinals' backfield with teammate
Emari Demercado (ankle) being ruled out for Sunday with an ankle injury.
Trey Benson (knee) was also ruled out, despite having his 21-day practice window opened earlier this week. Heading into Week 12, Knight is RotoBaller's 31st-ranked running back in PPR Leagues against a stout Jaguars run defense. The Jaguars have allowed the fewest rushing yards and the fourth fewest rushing touchdowns this season. Knight is a touchdown-dependent flex option in a tough matchup against the Jaguars.

The Dallas Cowboys signed running back
Malik Davis to the active roster ahead of their Week 12 matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles, according to Nick Harris of the Star-Telegram. Davis has been active for the Cowboys' past four games as rookie
Jaydon Blue has fallen out of favor as the team's No. 2 running back. The 26-year-old Davis has handled seven carries for 26 yards while playing just 8.4% of the snaps behind starter
Javonte Williams. He can be left on the waiver wire in most redraft leagues.

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver
Andrei Iosivas hasn't done much to benefit fantasy managers this season. It's safe to say he was a little more productive in his sophomore year. Unfortunately, that production hasn't followed him into the 2025 campaign. Iosivas ended last season with six touchdowns. However, he has only one trip to the end zone through the first 11 weeks. With that said, the 26-year-old has an excellent opportunity to get something going in Sunday's matchup with the New England Patriots.
Ja'Marr Chase won't suit up in order to serve his one-game suspension, leaving
Tee Higgins to fill most of the void. That means there should still be extra targets up for grabs. While Iosivas isn't the safest fantasy option, especially based on his track record throughout the year, his ceiling is considerably higher in Week 12. Fantasy managers can view him as a risky, high-upside streaming option.

Las Vegas Raiders rookie running back
Ashton Jeanty has consistently been bottled up on the ground this season. That in part led to the Raiders abandoning the run in their Week 11 loss to the Dallas Cowboys, as Jeanty has just six carries for seven yards, but stayed involved as a receiver with six receptions (eight targets) for 27 yards. The sixth overall pick in this past year's draft has averaged over four yards per carry in just two of 10 games this season. The poor play of the Raiders' offensive line has derailed any hope of a massive fantasy ceiling for Jeanty, and now he draws a matchup on Sunday against a Cleveland Browns defense that is allowing just 3.9 yards per carry (fourth best) and the fourth fewest PPR points per game to opposing running backs. Jeanty will rank as a volume-based RB2 for Week 12.
