Who Should I Start for Fantasy Football Week 12? TreVeyon Henderson, Kyle Monangai, Emeka Egbuka, Arian Smith, Elic Ayomanor, Luther Burden III, Jaydon Blue, Kyle Williams, Isaac TeSlaa, Dont'e Thornton Jr.

New England Patriots rookie running back TreVeyon Henderson has played well in Rhamondre Stevenson's (toe) absence the last three games, averaging 5.6 yards per carry for 264 yards and four touchdowns on 47 rushing attempts. Henderson also caught 10 passes for 66 yards and another touchdown.

However, head coach Mike Vrabel was non-committal when asked if there will be a more even workload between the two once Stevenson is back from his injury, according to Tom Carroll of WEEI. "I think we'll probably have to have that conversation when it's certain that we're gonna have Rhamondre. He's gonna work through practice today, and we'll see where things go. TreVeyon's helped us, Rhamondre's helped us, Terrell [Jennings'] helped us." Stevenson returned to a limited practice on Wednesday, but it's unclear if he'll play in Week 12 against the Bengals.

Fantasy managers who have Henderson are surely hoping that the impressive rookie has done enough recently to warrant a bigger workload when Stevenson is back.

Chicago Bears rookie running back Kyle Monangai has now scored touchdowns in back-to-back weeks as he's earned more work behind starter D'Andre Swift. Monangai was still the clear No.2 back in Week 11 against the Minnesota Vikings, handling 13 touches for 37 yards compared to Swift with 21 for 90, but the rookie is getting valuable touches on the goal line.

The 23-year-old has outcarried Swift three to two inside the 10-yard line in the past two weeks. While Monangai doesn't have the explosiveness to break off long runs, he has standalone value as long as he maintains the work down near the goal line and mixes in with Swift occasionally.

Heading into Week 12, Kyle Monangai is one of the top handcuffs in fantasy and should be added off the waiver wire in most leagues if available.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers rookie first-round wide receiver Emeka Egbuka (illness) was one of six players who didn't practice on Wednesday due to an illness, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero. Quarterback Baker Mayfield also wasn't feeling well, but both players should be ready to go in time for a Sunday night affair against the hosting Los Angeles Rams at SoFi Stadium.

Receiver Chris Godwin (leg) is nearing a return from a fibular injury that has kept him sidelined since Week 5, but even if Godwin is back this weekend, Egbuka should continue to be Mayfield's go-to target through the air.

Egbuka has lived up to the hype so far in his first NFL season and leads the Bucs in catches (45), targets (85), receiving yards (717), and touchdowns (six) through 10 games. The matchup against the Rams isn't ideal, but Egbuka will still have WR1 upside for fantasy purposes.

Tennessee Titans rookie Elic Ayomanor (hamstring) is not participating in Wednesday's practice session, according to Paul Kuharsky of PaulKuharsky.com. Kuharsky reports that it may be difficult for Ayomanor to play on Sunday against the Seahawks due to the hamstring injury suffered during the Titans' loss to the Texans in Week 11.

The rookie fourth-rounder caught only two of his six targets for 11 yards in the game. Ayomanor would have a great opportunity to emerge as the Titans' top wideout with Calvin Ridley (leg) out for the season, but his status will need to be monitored as the week goes along.

If he is unable to play, fellow rookie Chimere Dike and Van Jefferson should see more opportunities, but neither can be trusted in fantasy lineups.

Chicago Bears rookie wide receiver Luther Burden III has earned a bigger role on offense going forward, according to head coach Ben Johnson. "You get what you earn. And I think he's earned the increased snaps," Johnson said. Burden only played 44% of the offensive snaps in the Week 11 win over the Minnesota Vikings, but it was only the second time all year he has played over 40% of the snaps, and they have come in back-to-back weeks.

The 21-year-old pass-catcher caught three of his five targets against Minnesota for 27 yards. The second-rounder out of Missouri has six grabs on eight targets the last two weeks for 78 yards.

Burden has been inconsistent in his first year in the NFL in an offense with plenty of mouths to feed, but it sounds as though he'll have a chance to jump DJ Moore for the WR2 in Chicago before the year is over. Fantasy managers looking for WR depth could do worse than Burden. He's rostered in only 9% of Yahoo leagues.
