Jimmy Graham Blanketed By 49ers

Green Bay Packers tight end Jimmy Graham caught one of two targets for seven yards in a 37-8 loss to the San Francisco 49ers. The 32-year-old appeared to haul in a deep ball from Aaron Rodgers, though the refs ruled it an incomplete pass- and Green Bay didn't challenge it. Unfortunately, Graham still would have […]

Marquez Valdes-Scantling Records One Catch

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling caught one of three targets for seven yards. The 25-year-old caught a deep ball from Rodgers in the end zone, though he was well out of bounds. That was the closest Valdes-Scantling has come to scoring a touchdown since his Week 7 explosion against the Oakland Raiders. Next […]

Geronimo Allison Quiet Again In Week 12

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Geronimo Allison caught three of four targets for nine yards in his team's 37-8 loss to the San Francisco 49ers. Allison has six catches for 15 yards- in his last two games combined. The 25-year-old has gone over 50 receiving yards just once and has only two touchdowns this year. […]

Davante Adams Finds End Zone For First Time

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Davante Adams caught seven of 12 targets for 43 yards and his first touchdown of the year. Adams caught a flip pass from Rodgers for Green Bay's only points, then hauled in a lob pass for the two-point conversion. It's disappointing that it took until Week 12 for Adams to […]

Jamaal Williams Racks Up Garbage-Time Points

Green Bay Packers running back Jamaal Williams picked up 45 rushing yards on 11 totes and caught seven of eight targets for 35 receiving yards. Williams out-touched fellow back Aaron Jones 18-13, though nine of his touches came when the game was over and finished. Besides these late touches, Williams, like Jones, found running room […]

Aaron Jones Held In Check By 49ers

Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones carried the ball 13 times for 38 yards and was held without a catch. The 49ers run defense wasn't great the last few weeks- they must have been angry about it because they were dominant in this one. Jones was completely swallowed up by San Francisco, though that's […]

Aaron Rodgers Stifled By 49ers

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers completed 20 of 33 passes for 104 yards and a touchdown. The 49ers dominant defensive line pressured Rodgers on virtually every play, sacking him five times while the secondary blanketed the Green Bay receivers. The 35-year-old signal-caller averaged a career-low 3.2 yards per attempt in his worst showing of […]

Saints Defense Records Four Sacks

The New Orleans Saints Defense picked up four sacks in a 34-31 win over the Carolina Panthers. New Orleans couldn't generate any turnovers against a more-accurate Kyle Allen and allowed 31 points, which certainly hurt their fantasy numbers in some leagues. Still, they've proven to be a defense that can create sacks and turnovers in […]

Wil Lutz Nails Game-Winner Against Panthers

New Orleans Saints kicker Wil Lutz made both of his field-goal attempts, including a 33-yard game-winner, and made all four extra-point attempts. Lutz was as cool as a cucumber in crunch time for the Saints, sinking the kick after being iced by the Panthers. The 25-year-old has stepped it up after a mid-season blip to […]

Jared Cook Has Best Game Of Season In Week 12

New Orleans Saints tight end Jared Cook caught six of eight targets for a season-high 99 yards and a touchdown in his team's 34-31 victory over the Carolina Panthers. The 32-year-old has developed a rapport with quarterback Drew Brees that was on full display in this one. First, Brees lobbed a perfect ball to Cook […]

Tre'Quan Smith Catches Touchdown Pass Against Panthers

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Tre'Quan Smith hauled in one of three targets for a 13-yard touchdown in a thrilling 34-31 win over the Carolina Panthers. The touchdown score was Smith's first since Week 1, though he still has yet to eclipse 50 receiving yards this year. The 23-year-old has averaged just 2.2 targets per […]

Ted Ginn Catches Two Passes In Week 12

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Ted Ginn was targeted five times but caught just two passes for 38 yards in his team's 34-31 win over the Carolina Panthers. That makes nine straight games for Ginn under 50 receiving yards. He hasn't been able to boost his fantasy numbers with touchdowns either, as he has only […]

Latavius Murray Tallies 64 Rushing Yards And Touchdown

New Orleans Saints running back Latavius Murray carried the ball seven times for 64 yards and a touchdown in a 34-31 victory over the Carolina Panthers. The 29-year-old ran hard, picking up a season-high 9.1 yards per carry. Murray was out-touched by fellow back Alvin Kamara 20-seven, though he made his touches count. He scored […]

Michael Thomas Records 100 Receiving Yards Again

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas hauled in 10 of 11 targets for 101 yards and a touchdown. The All-Pro receiver locked horns with Panthers star cornerback James Bradberry, who held him in check for much of the game. Thomas broke free for two crucial plays- a slant in the red zone that resulted […]

Alvin Kamara Posts 102 Scrimmage Yards

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara posted 102 scrimmage yards on 20 touches in his team's thrilling 34-31 win over the Carolina Panthers. It was Kamara's second consecutive game with at least 100 scrimmage yards, though he failed to find the end zone for the sixth game in a row. While Kamara was out-gained […]

Drew Brees Sharp Against Carolina

New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees completed 30 of 39 passes for 311 yards, three touchdowns and one interception. The 40-year-old made quick, precise decisions en route to a 76.9 completion percentage and a healthy eight yards per attempt. The highlight of the day for Brees was a beautiful, 20-yard dime to tight end Jared […]

Cedi Osman Scores 18 Points With Four Threes

Cleveland Cavaliers forward Cedi Osman tallied 18 points, four rebounds, four triples, three assists, and a block in a 143-101 loss to the Dallas Mavericks. It was a season-high in points for the 24-year-old, though it wasn't enough to stop the Cavs from losing their sixth game in a row. Osman has played 29.5 minutes […]

Darius Garland Scores Career-High 23

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Darius Garland put up a career-high 23 points with four assists, one rebound, and five three-pointers in a 143-101 loss to the Dallas Mavericks. The rookie has struggled to find his shot, posting a 33.8 percent mark from the field and 29.6 percent from three. His 34 minutes played were a new […]

Justin Jackson Score 19 In 23 Minutes

Dallas Mavericks forward Justin Jackson recorded 19 points, six rebounds, four three-pointers and a steal in his team's 143-101 win over the Cleveland Cavaliers. Jackson established season-highs in shot attempts and points and did it in just 23 minutes of playing time. Unfortunately for the 24-year-old, he likely only played 23 and 29 minutes the […]

Kristaps Porzingis Posts 17-7 Line With Four Blocks

Dallas Mavericks forward Kristaps Porzingis tallied 17 points, seven rebounds, four blocks, three triples, and a steal as his team blew away the Cleveland Cavaliers 143-101. It was a much more efficient night for Porzingis, who has struggled with his shot this year, likely due to a career-low 43.1 percent mark on two-pointers. Still, a […]

Luka Doncic Puts Up 30-14-7 Against Cavaliers

Dallas Mavericks forward Luka Doncic posted 35 points, seven rebounds, 14 assists, and four triples in a 143-101 win over the Cleveland Cavaliers. Doncic continued his red-hot stretch by shooting 61.1 percent from the field and 50 percent from three. In November, the 20-year-old has averaged 31.9 points, 11.4 rebounds, 10.5 assists, 3.3 triples, and […]

Saints Defense A Strong Option Against Carolina

The New Orleans Saints Defense will take on Kyle Allen and the Carolina Panthers in Week 12. Allen is coming off of a five-sack, four-interception performance against the resurgent Atlanta Falcons. Allen has been particularly giving to defenses lately, as they've recorded at least one interception and three sacks against him in each of the […]

Wil Lutz A Good Start In Week 12

New Orleans Saints kicker Wil Lutz gets a good matchup against the Carolina Panthers in Week 12. Lutz is on a hot streak, having made at least two field goals in two consecutive games as well as four extra points in his last outing. Carolina ranks 25th in fantasy points allowed to kickers, having given […]

Jared Cook A Low-End TE1 Against Panthers

New Orleans Saints tight end Jared Cook is a low-end TE1 against the Carolina Panthers in Week 12. Cook is on a roll, tallying eight catches for 107 yards and a touchdown in the last two games. The Panthers have been tough on opposing tight ends, allowing the fourth-fewest yards and fifth-fewest touchdowns to the […]

Tre'Quan Smith Not A Recommended Option

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Tre'Quan Smith isn't a recommended fantasy option against the Carolina Panthers in Week 12. Smith has totaled six catches for 88 yards and a touchdown in five games. He's battled an ankle injury but is healthy and is finding it hard to contribute, despite playing at least 60 percent of […]

Ted Ginn Risky In Week 12

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Ted Ginn will face the 13th-ranked pass defense of the Carolina Panthers in Week 12. The 34-year-old did catch a touchdown last week but hasn't topped 50 receiving yards since Week 1. Oddly enough, the Panthers Defense has surrendered the fifth-most yards to opposing wide receivers but has allowed only […]

Michael Thomas A WR1 Against Carolina

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas will look to keep up his historic pace in Week 12 against the Carolina Panthers. The All-Pro receiver has 94 catches through 10 games, the most in NFL history. Thomas is currently on pace to set the record for most receptions in a season and could end up […]

Latavius Murray A Good Flex Option Against Panthers

New Orleans Saints running back Latavius Murray is a good flex option for Week 12 against the Carolina Panthers. Murray was out-touched 23-12 last week by Alvin Kamara, but there was a much more even distribution of the snaps, 63 percent to 40 percent, than the previous week, 79 percent to 24 percent. The former […]

Alvin Kamara Poised For Huge Game In Week 12

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara gets a great matchup against the Carolina Panthers in Week 12. Kamara got himself back on track last week, as he racked up 122 scrimmage yards against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, a team tough on opposing backs. He's still scored just two touchdowns this year, though the Carolina […]

Drew Brees A QB1 Despite Tough Matchup

New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees will take on the Carolina Panthers at home in Week 12. The 40-year-old has attempted at least 35 passes in four starts and has thrown for multiple touchdown passes in three games this year. The Panthers have a strong pass defense ranked 13th in the NFL and have 39 […]
