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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver
Tez Johnson has stepped up for this offense in recent weeks. However, Johnson gave fantasy managers a dud last week when he hauled in one of his three targets for six yards in the loss to the Buffalo Bills. His role in the offense could be reduced with
Chris Godwin (leg) possibly returning in Week 12. If that happens, Johnson is going to be a risky starting option. The 23-year-old offers big-play potential, but can also fall out of the gameplan. Fantasy managers should view Johnson as a boom-or-bust flex option for the Week 12 matchup against the Los Angeles Rams.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver
Jayden Reed (collarbone, foot) returned to practice on Friday (he was limited), but he will not come off Injured Reserve and has officially been ruled out for Sunday's game against the division-rival Minnesota Vikings in Week 12. The 25-year-old has been on IR since breaking his collarbone back in Week 2, and he's also been recovering from surgery to fix a Jones fracture in his foot. It might be a few weeks before we see Reed back on game day, as it seems unlikely he'll be able to make his way back in a quick turnaround next week on Thanksgiving Day versus the Detroit Lions on Thursday. A more realistic target date will probably be for the team's Week 14 clash against the division-rival Chicago Bears. Even though Reed might not be up to speed until the fantasy playoffs (Weeks 15-17 in most leagues), his touchdown prowess (18 TDs in 35 games) makes him stash-worthy in fantasy leagues until then.
