Cade Otton has seen his fantasy value skyrocket over the last month or so. The Bucs are shorthanded on offense which has resulted in a bigger role for Otton on offense. The 25-year-old has seen eight or more targets in each of the last four games. However, Otton could see his role decrease with wide receiver
Mike Evans (hamstring) likely to return in Week 12. The expectation is that Otton will remain involved, but he could lose some targets. Fantasy managers should still be able to lean on him as a TE1 against the New York Giants this weekend. Although, fantasy managers shouldn't too many more 10-plus target games from Otton.

Sterling Shepard was quiet during the Week 10 loss to the San Francisco 49ers. The veteran wideout hauled in one of his three targets for seven yards. Shepard has seen increased snaps lately with the Bucs shorthanded at wideout. However, Shepard could see his role in the offense decrease with
Mike Evans (hamstring) likely to return against the New York Giants this weekend. Shepard hasn't offered much value all season and it's unlikely to go up now. Fantasy managers should look elsewhere for help ahead of Week 12.

1 day agoTampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver
Jalen McMillan wasn't targeted during the Week 10 loss to the San Francisco 49ers. It has been a bummer of a rookie season for McMillan who has 10 receptions for 109 yards through six games. He has been seeing an increase in snaps with
Chris Godwin (ankle) and
Mike Evans (hamstring) sidelined. However, Evans is expected to return for the Week 12 matchup against the New York Giants. The return of Evans will likely mean less targets for McMillan this weekend. The 22-year-old is worth holding in dynasty leagues, but doesn't have much value outside of that.

1 day agoTennessee Titans wide receiver Nick Westbrook-Ikhine will take on the Houston Texans in a Week 12 divisional matchup on Sunday. The fifth-year pro has been doing the most with his limited opportunities, slotting in as the WR17 in half-PPR scoring since Week 6 but ranking 45th in total targets. The fantasy points are supported by his five touchdown catches in that timespan, including a 98-yard score against Minnesota last week, which is the longest offensive play in the NFL this season. Opportunities are far from abundant for NWI, but he's getting valuable looks in the passing game and is a trusted target by his coaching staff and ascending quarterback Will Levis. It's tough to trust a second wideout in this offense fully, but Westbrook-Ikine has definitely played himself into a WR4/low-end flex option for this game against Houston.--Ryan J. GoodmanSource: ESPN
1 day agoLos Angeles Chargers rookie wide receiver
Ladd McConkey (shoulder) returned to practice on Friday, according to Daniel Popper of The Athletic. This is a great sign, as McConkey was listed as a DNP during Thursday's initial session. Fantasy managers should pay close attention to his status during Saturday's practice, as it will likely provide some clarity on his availability for Monday's game. McConkey sustained this injury during last Sunday's victory over the Cincinnati Bengals. In this game, the Georgia product posted a season-high 123 yards off six receptions. If McConkey can suit up on Monday, he should be viewed as a must-start option facing a Baltimore secondary that has allowed the most PPR points to opposing wideouts this season.
UPDATE: McConkey was limited on Friday.--Andy Smith - RotoBallerSource: Daniel Popper

1 day agoTampa Bay Buccaneers running back
Bucky Irving is coming off a strong performance against the San Francisco 49ers in Week 10. The rookie back rushed for 73 yards and a touchdown on 13 attempts on the ground. Irving continues to play well and has been rewarded with more snaps in the backfield. However, Irving is still stuck in a committee with
Rachaad White and
Sean Tucker, so his fantasy value is limited. Irving does get a plus matchup against the New York Giants this weekend. There are a handful of teams on bye weeks, which could put Irving in the RB2 conversation for this weekend.

1 day agoTennessee Titans quarterback Will Levis faces divisional rival the Houston Texans in an afternoon clash this Sunday. The young quarterback has posted back-to-back 15-plus point fantasy performances for the first time all year and reached a season-high in passing yards last week with 295. Levis' 98-yard touchdown strike to Nick Westbrook-Ikine skewed his overall numbers in Week 11, but major credit is still due to Levis, who threw a perfect ball on the play. The matchup this week at Houston should not strike fear in fantasy managers. The Texans rank 17th against quarterbacks on the season and are bottom-12 in passing yards allowed, but are also tied for second in interceptions, which Levis has struggled with considerably this year. The negative game script should have Levis throwing quite a bit, but given the turnover issues, he is no more than low-end QB2 for Week 12, making him mainly an option in 2QB and Superflex leagues. --Ryan J.

1 day agoTampa Bay Buccaneers running back
Rachaad White has seen his workload in the passing game increase over the last few weeks. In fact, White has five receptions or more with 35-plus receiving in three of his last four games. The biggest problem for White has been in the rushing game. White has been held to 40 rushing yards or less in all of his last four games. The Bucs continue to use a committee approach at running back which limits the value of White. It's worth noting that wide receiver
Mike Evans (hamstring) is set to return this weekend. His return could mean less targets for White in the passing game. Fantasy managers should treat White as a low-end RB2 for Week 12.

1 day agoDallas Cowboys wide receiver
CeeDee Lamb (back/foot) does not carry an injury designation for Sunday's divisional tilt against the Washington Commanders, according to Mike Garafolo of the NFL Network. Even though Lamb does not carry an injury designation, Garafolo noted that the star wideout will go through another walkthrough tomorrow. Fantasy managers should monitor his status in case he faces a setback, but he should be expected to suit up. Even though the Dallas offense has struggled with
Cooper Rush under center, Lamb caught eight passes for 93 yards in their loss to the Houston Texans last weekend. Fantasy managers should still view Lamb as a solid WR1 facing a Washington secondary that has allowed the 16th-most PPR points to opposing wideouts.

1 day agoThe Minnesota Vikings defense/special teams yet again has a favorable matchup on tap in Week 12 when they line up against the Chicago Bears. Minnesota's defense has been one of the most reliable fantasy units in 2024 and will get an outing against a Bears' offense that has scored more than 20 points three times this year in 10 contests. The Vikings have allowed the fewest rushing yards per game to opposing offenses (74.4). Additionally, they've intercepted the most passes (16) and are tied for the second-most total takeaways in the NFL (21). Chicago is affording their opponent's defensive units an average of 10.1 fantasy points per game – tied for the eighth-most in the league. Fire them up with confidence as RotoBaller's D/ST6 in this week's ranks.

1 day agoTampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback
Baker Mayfield was held in check by the San Francisco 49ers in Week 11. The 29-year-old was off last week with the organization on a bye week. Now, Mayfield is set to bounce back against the New York Giants in Week 12. Mayfield has looked like one of the best quarterbacks all season long with 24 touchdowns and over 2,500 passing yards through 10 games. The loss of
Chris Godwin (ankle) does hurt this offense, but
Mike Evans (hamstring) is expected to return this weekend. The return of Evans would be a significant boost for this offense. Fantasy managers should feel fine plugging Mayfield in as a QB1 for this weekend.

1 day agoDetroit Lions tight end
Sam LaPorta (shoulder) is off the injury report and cleared to return to action on Sunday to face the Indianapolis Colts. The sophomore tight end sat out last weekend due to this injury but will return to his starting role on Sunday. LaPorta has struggled to find consistency throughout the season, as he has scored double-digit PPR points on just three occasions and has seen just 3.6 targets per game. Despite his struggles this season, the Detroit offense has remained one of the league's top units, and fantasy should continue to view him as a top-12 option. This weekend, he should have a great opportunity to bounce back against the Colts, who have allowed the sixth-most PPR points to opposing tight ends this season.

1 day agoDallas Cowboys tight end
Jake Ferguson (concussion) will not suit up this weekend to face the Washington Commanders, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. The 25-year-old suffered this concussion last Monday during their loss to the Houston Texans. Fantasy managers should monitor his progress over the week as the Cowboys have a short turnaround for Week 13 as they will face the New York Giants on Thanksgiving. In his absence last week,
Luke Schoonmaker brought in six of his ten targets for 56 yards. Given his impressive target share in a relief role, fantasy managers in 14+ team formats could consider Schoonmaker a viable replacement in their divisional title on Sunday afternoon.

1 day agoMinnesota Vikings kicker
John Parker Romo will not be a recommended option this weekend when his team squares off against the Chicago Bears in a divisional matchup. The second-year player has hit on all five of his field goal tries since being called upon to work in
Will Reichard's (quad) stead. However, he failed to connect on one of his three extra-point attempts in Week 11's victory over the Tennessee Titans. Romo will get an opportunity to redeem himself this Sunday. Still, there are likely better kicking options for fantasy managers to stream if they are in need of a bye-week replacement. The Bears have stifled opposing passing attacks this season, so points could be hard to come by if quarterback
Sam Darnold (foot) struggles against the Vikings' division rivals. The 27-year-old is RotoBaller's K16 in this week's rankings.
