1 day agoSeattle Seahawks wide receiver
Jaxon Smith-Njigba continued his 2024 breakout on Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals. Smith-Njigba was clearly quarterback
Geno Smith's preferred target on important downs in this game. Smith-Njigba caught his fourth touchdown of the season and led the Seahawks in targets once again. Smith-Njigba is building serious momentum. He has now recorded at least 110 receiving yards or a touchdown in three straight games. He is a top 10 fantasy wide receiver on the season which was not what most expected coming into the season. With Smith-Njigba seemingly finding consistency, he has entered the must-start conversation. The Seahawks do not have the worst schedule moving forward so Smith-Njigba should continue to produce at a relatively high level. Fantasy manager dreams are finally coming true for the 2023 first-round pick.

DK Metcalf was quiet in a Week 12 matchup with the Arizona Cardinals. Metcalf caught four passes for 59 yards on five targets. Since his return from an MCL sprain in Week 11, Metcalf has not produced the high-end numbers fantasy managers are accustomed to. Additionally, fellow wide receiver
Jaxon Smith-Njigba has emerged as an excellent weapon for the Seahawks and quarterback
Geno Smith. Still, Metcalf's talent is too strong to ignore. He is unlikely to stay quiet for long. This is especially true considering that the Seahawks are entering a stretch run of the season in which they have a chance to take control of the NFC West. They do not have an egregious schedule for wide receivers ahead and should be able to produce solid numbers in the passing game. It is only a matter of time before Metcalf finds his way back into the high-end WR2 conversation.

1 day agoTennessee Titans tight end
Chig Okonkwo caught one pass for a 70-yard, game-clinching touchdown in Sunday's 32-27 win over the Houston Texans. The 25-year-old wasn't targeted most of the game until Levis hit him wide-open on a seam route 10 yards downfield. Okonkwo broke a tackle and outraced the entire Texans secondary for the long score. It was the only target Okonkwo drew in the contest, but he made the most of the opportunity, showcasing his elite athleticism and speed on the play. Maybe the play will signal the Titans coaching staff to involve Okonkwo more in the passing game, but given his extremely low target volume, he remains a dart-throw option at tight end next week on the road vs. the Washington Commanders.

1 day agoSeattle Seahawks wide receiver
Tyler Lockett is now completely off the fantasy radar. He has not earned more than four targets since Week 7, and he has now caught just two passes in two consecutive games. Quarterback
Geno Smith's attention seems to have shifted from Lockett to fellow wide receiver
Jaxon Smith-Njigba who has emerged in recent weeks. The Seahawks have also toned down their passing volume which has shrunk the amount of targets available for each of the skill position players on the team. It is encouraging that Lockett was the target on an end zone interception for Smith. However, had the two connected, it still would not signal brighter days ahead for Lockett. Lockett has seemingly aged out of fantasy relevance. If anything were to happen to Smith-Njigba or
DK Metcalf, Lockett would be a viable option. With those two players healthy, Lockett belongs on waivers at this point.

1 day agoSeattle Seahawks running back
Kenneth Walker III was the recipient of six targets and four receptions in the team's Week 12 win against the Arizona Cardinals. Walker finished the game with 22 total opportunities for massive volume. His rushing production was poor (2.6 yards per carry) but the passing volume continues to propel Walker to RB2 numbers. The lack of touchdowns in recent weeks is certainly hurting fantasy managers. The Seahawks have scored 20 or less points in five straight games. However, the Seahawks are finally finding success and decent balance offensively. The defense has also stepped things up in recent weeks. If this team can fully put it together on offense, the points, and subsequently the touchdowns for Walker, should begin to flow. Do not be discouraged by Walker's recent production relative to his early season games. Walker is still a quality starter in fantasy and is performing at about the level you drafted him to be.

1 day agoSeattle Seahawks quarterback
Geno Smith threw for 254 yards and a touchdown against the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday. Smith added an interception and only scored 13.36 fantasy points. Smith was much better in real life than he was in fantasy. He made a few solid plays for the Seahawks en route to a victory. Smith's passing efficiency remains steady, but his volume has been down in recent weeks. He has not cleared 34 passing attempts since Week 6 as the Seahawks have been trying to slow down games and play better defense. The tactic is working as the team finds themselves as winners of two straight games. Divisional games no less. Look to continue to pick your matchups for Smith throughout the season. He should likely be left on benches in Week 13 when the Seahawks travel to New York, but he could be back on the streaming radar in Week 14 against Arizona.

1 day agoTennessee Titans wide receiver
Nick Westbrook-Ikhine caught two passes on five targets for 48 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's win over the Houston Texans. The 27-year-old has now scored six times in his last seven games. Westbrook-Ikhine continues to deliver as the second option in the Titans passing attack, tightening his grip on the team lead in receiving touchdowns this year. The target volume is still not what fantasy managers would like to see, but as long as NWI keeps scoring touchdowns, he will continue to be fantasy-relevant. With quarterback
Will Levis continuing to improve as the operator of this Tennessee offense, Westbrook-Ikhine should be a viable lower-end flex play weekly. He will look to continue his stellar play against the Washington Commanders next Sunday.

1 day agoLas Vegas Raiders quarterback
Gardner Minshew II (collarbone) will miss the remainder of the 2024-25 campaign. The signal-caller, who hasn't had an eventful year in Vegas, suffered a broken collarbone during Sunday's loss to the Denver Broncos. While there was a chance Minshew wouldn't be back under center moving ahead even if he stayed healthy, the latest injury will officially mark the end of his season. With
Aidan O'Connell (thumb) on the shelf, the Raiders may hand the keys over to
Desmond Ridder, who went 5-for-10 for 64 yards in Week 12. There was also an update from NFL Media's Ian Rapoport early on Sunday that the team may be interested in
Daniel Jones, at least once he clears waivers and hits the open market.

1 day agoTennessee Titans wide receiver
Calvin Ridley caught five of six targets for 93 yards in Sunday's 32-27 win over the Houston Texans. The former first-round pick continues to produce as the top target in the Titans passing attack, compiling 451 yards in his last five outings. He once again led the team in targets, the eighth time in 11 games that has been the case. Quarterback
Will Levis has looked increasingly more comfortable operating this offense, and it's evident that he has developed excellent chemistry with Ridley. The highlight of the day was Ridley snagging a 63-yard pass while Levis was under heavy pressure, another play where the speedy receiver got behind the last line of defense. Ridley continues to produce and is a WR2 against the Washington Commanders in Week 13.

1 day agoTennessee Titans running back
Tony Pollard rushed 24 times for 119 yards and a touchdown, adding three receptions on five targets for 10 yards in Sunday's win over the Houston Texans. After Minnesota bottled him up for only 15 rushing yards in Week 11, Pollard exploded for his second 100-plus yard rushing performance of the season. The Titans leaned on him early, and Pollard delivered, with over 80 rushing yards in the first half alone and a 10-yard score in the opening quarter. Tennessee was able to move the ball all game against a tough Texans defense, which bodes well for Pollard moving forward as a featured piece of this offense.
Tyjae Spears (concussion) may return next week, but Pollard will remain a rock-solid RB2/flex play against the Washington Commanders in Week 13.

1 day agoMiami Dolphins wide receiver
Jaylen Waddle had eight receptions on nine targets for 144 yards and a touchdown in their 39-15 victory over the New England Patriots. Week 12's performance was by far his best of the 2024 season. It was vintage Waddle in this contest, with several big plays after the catch. The touchdown came on a 23-yard catch and run on a short pass over the middle in which he broke a tackle to cross the goal line. Waddle took full advantage of New England's emphasis on taking
Tyreek Hill (wrist) out of the game with his first 100-yard performance since Week 1. Waddle's outing and the Dolphins offense trending up should give fantasy managers hope as the playoffs approach. The next matchup will come Thanksgiving night against the Green Bay Packers, who will potentially be without their star cornerback, Jaire Alexander.

1 day agoLas Vegas Raiders quarterback
Gardner Minshew II (shoulder) exited Sunday's meeting with the Denver Broncos. The veteran had 230 yards, one touchdown, and one pick in this one, so he's had a decent showing. However, he took a hard hit late in the contest and was assisted back to the locker room. There hasn't been an official injury designation released by the team. Yet, fantasy managers should at least consider him questionable to return, although it's unlikely he'll be back, considering the contest is nearing an end. In the meantime,
Desmond Ridder is in to handle things under center.

1 day agoDetroit Lions wide receiver
Kalif Raymond (foot) was held without a catch in Sunday's win over the Colts. That type of showing from the 30-year-old isn't surprising. But there is still concern after he exited the contest and didn't return because of a foot injury. While there hasn't been much more information released since Raymond's premature departure, head coach Dan Campbell indicated the wideout's injury is "a little more serious" than the other Lions' players who exited in Week 12. There should be an update soon. However, there's a chance Raymond won't be on the field for Thursday's meeting with NFC North showdown with the Bears.

1 day agoMiami Dolphins wide receiver
Tyreek Hill (wrist) caught five passes on six targets for 48 yards in their 34-15 win over the New England Patriots. This marks the ninth time Hill has failed to reach 15 PPR points this season. Miami threw the ball 40 times in this game, which is the most in any game this season, and Hill still couldn't produce. Fellow wideout
Jaylen Waddle took advantage of New England's defense emphasis on shutting down Hill with eight receptions for 144 yards and a touchdown. The offense is playing a different style of football this year, taking what the defense gives them and minimizing unnecessary risks. It's hard to imagine the 30-year-old being a consistent WR1 moving forward. His next opportunity will come on Thanksgiving night at Lambeau Field against the Green Bay Packers, who will possibly be without Jaire Alexander.
