Arizona Cardinals wide receiver
Michael Wilson had himself a career day on Sunday, as he set new career-best lines with 15 receptions and 185 receiving yards. The third-year receiver out of Stanford was thrust into duties on Sunday as Marvin Harrison (Appendicitis) and
Zay Jones (Achilles) both missed the game. The Cardinals were down early in this contest again, which set up perfectly for Wilson,
Jacoby Brissett, and
Trey McBride fantasy owners. Brissett threw for 452 yards, and McBride had 115 receiving yards and a touchdown to go along with Wilson's career day. If Harrison continues to miss time and Wilson is thrust into WR1 duties, he is borderline a must-start option in an offense that is racking up a ton of yards over the last three weeks. That being said, the Cardinals face the Jaguars in Week 12, who are stiffer competition than what the Cardinals had in Week 11. Regardless, Wilson is a must-add off the waiver wire right now, and should be comfortably in the WR3 conversation should Harrison miss additional time.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back
Sean Tucker exploded for 106 yards and two touchdowns on 19 carries in the Buccaneers' 44-32 loss against the Buffalo Bills. He also hauled in both of his targets for 34 yards and another score. It was a favorable matchup for Tucker against a Bills run defense that has really struggled in 2025 and has allowed the sixth most points to opposing running backs on the season. Still, Tucker made his presence known and out-carried backfield mate
Rachaad White 19 to 10 on the afternoon and had the explosion, which was evident by his 43-yard touchdown run and his 28-yard reception touchdown. Should
Bucky Irving (shoulder) continue to miss time, Tucker should be considered a low-end RB2 heading into Week 12 based on his volume, opportunities, and recent outburst. The matchup is tough against the Los Angeles Rams, but they did allow 67 rush yards and a score to
Kenneth Walker this past Sunday. White will likely remain involved, but is now considered more of an RB3/desperate flex play.

Green Bay Packers running back
Emanuel Wilson stepped into a lead role in the second half on Sunday in the Packers' 27-20 victory over the New York Giants because
Josh Jacobs (knee) was injured and did not return in the second half of the game. Reports have suggested that Jacobs' knee injury is not "season-ending." However, he is expected to get additional testing done on Monday, and it appears likely that Wilson will be in line for RB1 duties in this offense, making him a clear, top-25 running back in fantasy football while Jacobs is out.
MarShawn Lloyd (hamstring) is also injured, and Wilson is a must-add in all formats, and could be a plug-and-play option for your team as an RB2 or flex spot heading into Week 12 against the Minnesota Vikings. Even with Jacobs healthy in 2025, Wilson has 53 rush attempts and 220 rushing yards on the season, and has been playing roughly 24% of the snaps, so he does have some exposure.

Jacksonville Jaguars running back
Bhayshul Tuten (ankle) exited during the third quarter of Sunday's Week 11 contest against the Los Angeles Chargers with an injury, as the Jaguars went on to dominate the Chargers 35-6. A large part of their dominance was mainly due to the offensive line,
Travis Etienne, Tuten, and the Jaguars' defense. At the time of his departure, he was having a career day, rushing for a career high 74 rushing yards and one rushing touchdown on 15 carries. Backfield mate, ETN, also rushed for 73 yards and two touchdowns on 19 carries. According to Jamal St. Cyr, Storts Anchor for News4JAX, when asked about his ankle, Tuten said, "It's good," which is a good sign for his availability heading into Week 12 against the Arizona Cardinals. Tuten was involved fairly early in this contest, and his 15 carries were not due to the game being out of hand. He was clearly splitting touches with ETN early in the game, and it's something to monitor moving forward. Regardless, Tuten becomes a must-add in all formats based on his volume on Sunday, and immediately enters the RB3 conversation, especially if we can expect 8-12 carries from him.

NFL insider Ian Rapoport mentioned on Good Morning Football that Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback
Aaron Rodgers (wrist) is dealing with a fracture in his left wrist, but has not been ruled out for Sunday and is pushing to play. Rodgers missed the entire second half of Sunday's game with the injury, and backup quarterback
Mason Rudolph played great, completing 12 of 16 passes for 116 yards and a touchdown. If Rodgers were to miss time, Rudolph, who does have 32 career NFL games under his belt, is a solid backup quarterback who can certainly keep the Steelers afloat. Through 11 weeks of the season, Rodgers has thrown for 1,969 yards, 17 touchdowns, and seven interceptions, and has been a fantasy streamer quarterback at best at this point in his career. The Steelers face the Chicago Bears in Week 12, who allow the third most points to the quarterback position in fantasy football, making Rudolph a solid QB2 streamer if Rodgers doesn't go.
UPDATE: Whether Rodgers' ability to grip a football will dictate whether he can play against Chicago. He was described as 50-50 for Sunday in Week 12.--Nicho RoesslerSource: Ian Rapoport

Houston Texans wide receiver
Jayden Higgins finished second on the team with 55 receiving yards on Sunday against the Titans, hauling in four of his seven targets. The rookie played 43 snaps compared to 37 for
Xavier Hutchinson and 36 for
Christian Kirk, getting slightly more work than the two more experienced options. Higgins also had more targets than any other wide receiver except
Nico Collins. Higgins has shown good upside over the last few weeks and seems to be climbing the depth chart. He is still high-risk on a short week against the Bills this Thursday, but he does have at least four catches and at least seven targets in three of his last four games.
C.J. Stroud (concussion) gives the offense a higher ceiling if he's able to return, but Higgins has worked well with
Davis Mills as well, making him a rookie to watch the rest of the season and possibly grab from the waiver wire if you need receiver depth and like his upside.

Houston Texans tight end
Dalton Schultz remains a PPR stalwart, hauling in six passes on nine targets for 51 yards in Sunday's win over the Titans. Schultz was second on the team in targets and catches behind only
Nico Collins, and he has at least five catches in seven of his last eight games. His yardage totals usually aren't very impressive, but he's up to 51 receptions in his 10 games this season. Tight end
Cade Stover was activated from IR before Sunday's game and played 14 snaps (20%). He could cut into Schultz's workload as he gets back to full strength, but for now, Schultz is getting enough opportunities to be a fringe starter in standard-sized leagues that emphasize receptions over yards.

Houston Texans running back
Woody Marks played 66% of snaps in Sunday's win over the Titans, compared to just 26% for
Nick Chubb. The rookie seems to be taking over as the team's lead option in the backfield, but this week, he only managed 44 rushing yards on his 18 carries while adding a seven-yard reception on his only target. He remains a dual-threat running back with a high ceiling for the Texans, who come home to face the Bills on a short week this Thursday night. They'll need to be much more effective on offense if they want to keep up with the high-scoring Buffalo offense after managing just 16 points and one offensive touchdown against the Titans. Marks should be a key to finding more success, but he'll remain a "boom-or-bust" play even in his favorable Week 12 matchup.

Miami Dolphins tight end
Greg Dulcich finished third on the team with four targets against the Commanders. He hauled in just two catches for 18 yards in a quiet day for the offense, but he remained the team's primary pass-catcher at the position. Dulcich played 54% of the team's offensive snaps, while
Julian Hill played 46% of snaps in his return from an ankle injury. Hill caught his lone target for 14 yards. Dulcich seems to be set up for more responsibilities as a receiver for as long as
Darren Waller (pectoral) is on IR, but the Dolphins' passing game hasn't been dynamic enough to make him more than a deep league flier when the team returns from its Week 12 bye with a matchup against the Saints in Week 13.

Miami Dolphins wide receiver
Jaylen Waddle has been emerging as a regular starter and high-end WR2 since the season-ending injury to
Tyreek Hill (knee). He has clearly established himself as the top target in the Dolphins' passing game, and before Sunday, he had posted at least five catches in five of his previous six games. However, in Sunday morning's matchup in Madrid, he was held in check by the Commanders, catching just three passes for 52 yards. He still led he team in targets with seven and receiving yards with 52, but it was a quiet day for the offense aside from
De'Von Achane, who had a big day and helped the team claim a 16-13 victory. The Dolphins have their bye week after their Spain trip and return to action in Week 13 against the Saints in what should be a good matchup for Waddle to bounce back.

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver
Jaxon Smith-Njigba continued his historic season in a 21-19 loss to the Los Angeles Rams, catching nine of his 12 targets for 105 yards. Smith-Njigba failed to surpass the 100-yard mark last week against the Cardinals as he didn't play much in the second half, but he has cleared it in four of his past five games and seven of 10 games overall this season. The 23-year-old managed to post a dominant line despite quarterback
Sam Darnold having his roughest game as a Seahawk with four interceptions. Smith-Njigba's floor for production is incredibly high, and the ceiling is also massive when Seattle plays in more high-scoring games, which we haven't seen many of this season. The superstar wideout has ascended to a new level this season and will rank as one of the best wide receivers in fantasy for Week 12 against the Titans.

Los Angeles Rams running back
Kyren Williams scored his fourth rushing touchdown in the past three games in their 21-19 win over the Seattle Seahawks in Week 11. Williams was efficient with 91 rushing yards on 12 carries to go with one reception (two targets) for five yards. The 25-year-old has had a standout season as a big piece of the Rams' high-powered offense and again ranks as one of the best backs in fantasy. Williams isn't known for his explosive rush ability, but he ripped off a few in this game, including his longest run of the season with a 34-yard gash in the first quarter. It was a tough matchup on paper against a Seattle defense that entered the day ranked third in yards per carry allowed (3.7), and the Rams didn't have their best offensive performance, but Williams still came through for fantasy managers.

Carolina Panthers wide receiver
Xavier Legette caught four of his eight targets for 83 yards and a touchdown in a 30-27 overtime win against the Atlanta Falcons. Legette bounced back with one of his best performances of the season after going catchless last week against the Saints. The 2024 first-round pick hasn't been very involved in recent weeks, with Carolina leaning more run-heavy and not having much pass volume, but finished second on the team in receiving in Week 11, with
Bryce Young throwing for a career high 448 yards on 45 attempts. The 24-year-old wideout will look to build on this performance and find week-to-week consistency to become fantasy relevant.

Detroit Lions running back
Jahmyr Gibbs struggled to find running room in Sunday night's 16-9 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, handling 12 carries for 39 yards, but he was dynamic as a receiver with a team-high five catches (eight targets) for 107 yards. Gibbs has now topped 140 yards or more from scrimmage in three of the past four games and was one of the few bright spots in a tough offensive showing from the Lions. The 23-year-old posted his highest receiving total of the season and his most receptions in a game since Week 3. That could be a featured part of Detroit's offense moving forward, with
Sam LaPorta (back) placed on injured reserve earlier this week. Gibbs will again rank as one of the elite RBs in fantasy in Week 12 against the New York Giants.

November 17, 2025
Detroit Lions wide receiver
Jameson Williams recorded four receptions for 88 yards and a touchdown on seven targets in Sunday night's 16-9 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. Williams scored the Lions' only touchdown of the night on an explosive 40-yard catch and run in the second quarter in what was otherwise a tough offensive performance against the Eagles' stout defense. The 24-year-old wideout continued his strong run of production in recent games, now totaling 14 catches on 20 targets for 273 yards and three touchdowns over the past three weeks after their Week 8 bye, averaging 20.1 PPR points per game. With
Sam LaPorta (back) placed on injured reserve earlier this week, Williams will have a runway for a strong second half of the season after a disappointing first seven games.
