1 day agoSeattle Seahawks offensive guard Anthony Bradford (leg) isn't expected to return to the Week 12 matchup versus the Arizona Cardinals. He was eventually carted to the locker room, so it's likely his day is over. Hopefully, the injury isn't anything too serious, which would be a tough blow for a Seahawks offensive line that has had issues protecting Geno Smith this season.Source: Seattle Seahawks
1 day agoNew England Patriots wide receiver DeMario Douglas converted seven targets into five catches for 62 yards during Sunday's Week 12 loss to the Miami Dolphins. Douglas has continued to be one of the Patriots' most productive receivers in his second NFL season, bringing his season totals to 48 catches, 482 yards, and one touchdown so far this year. He'll remain a very intriguing, volume-based WR3/FLEX option heading into next week's game against the Indianapolis Colts.Source: RotoBaller
1 day agoTampa Bay Buccaneers running back Bucky Irving turned in another stellar performance during Sunday's game against the New York Giants. Irving rushed 12 times for 87 yards and scored a touchdown during the blowout victory. The rookie back also hauled in all six of his targets for 64 yards through the air. The rushing and receiving yardage were both season highs for Irving. Unfortunately for fantasy managers, Irving remains stuck in a running back committee with Rachaad White. Irving has been the much better option between the two and should continue gaining more trust from the organization. Fantasy managers should put Irving in the RB2 conversation for next week's matchup against the Carolina Panthers. The 22-year-old has been excellent lately and should succeed in that favorable matchup.Source: ESPN
1 day agoWashington Commanders running back Brian Robinson Jr. (ankle) sustained an ankle injury during their loss to the Dallas Cowboys and only logged five carries for 13 yards. He caught one of his two targets for 11 yards as well. Robinson sustained his first ankle injury in the opening quarter but was able to return shortly after. However, later in the second half, Robinson suffered another injury to his ankle and was unable to return. Fantasy managers should closely monitor his status throughout the week, as he could be in danger of missing next weekend's game. In addition, No.2 running back Austin Ekeler (concussion) sustained an injury in the final minutes. If both running backs were to sit out in Week 13, Jeremy McNichols should be expected to operate as the lead back.Source: Washington Commanders
1 day agoMinnesota Vikings running back Aaron Jones rushed 22 times for 106 yards and a touchdown in his team's 30-27 overtime win over the Chicago Bears. He added 23 yards on 3-of-4 receiving and coughed up a fumble. The 29-year-old matched his highest carry count of 2024 and set a new season-high with his rushing total. It was an excellent bounce-back effort from Jones, who was coming off his lowest fantasy output of the season. He's scored just four touchdowns this season, but the touches and yardage total have been there -- so he may be due for some positive regression in the TD department over the coming few weeks. The former Green Bay Packer will get another decent matchup next Sunday when Minnesota squares off against the Arizona Cardinals at home.Source: ESPN
1 day agoTampa Bay Buccaneers running back Rachaad White was able to find the end zone for the fifth straight game on Sunday. It was a rough day for White on the ground as he managed only 37 yards on 12 carries in the win over the New York Giants. Luckily, White was able to take one of those carries into the end zone, which helped salvage his fantasy value. As expected, White lost targets in the receiving game with wide receiver Mike Evans making his return. White hauled in his lone target for 10 yards on Sunday. Fantasy managers should consider White a low-end RB2 for next week's matchup against the Carolina Panthers.Source: ESPN
1 day agoWashington Commanders kicker Austin Seibert struggled in his return on Sunday afternoon in their loss to the Dallas Cowboys. Seibert went 2-for-3 on field goal attempts and 0-for-2 on extra points. He connected on his field goals from 46 and 51 yards and missed one from 51 yards as well. He also missed the game-tying extra point in the final minutes. Seibert has yet to miss an extra point this season before this game, so fantasy managers should not be overly concerned. In addition, Seibert has yet to miss a field goal attempt from within 49 yards. Despite the rough showing this weekend, fantasy managers should still view Seibert as a solid K1 in all formats heading into a Week 13 tilt against the Tennessee Titans.Source: ESPN.com
1 day agoWashington Commanders tight end Zach Ertz found the end zone for the second straight week in their loss to the Dallas Cowboys. In this game, Ertz saw eight targets (second-most on the team) and brought in six of them for 38 yards and a score. He found the end zone in the final frame off a four-yard strike from Jayden Daniels. Over his past three games, Ertz has caught at least four passes and seen seven targets in each game. During this span, Ertz also tallied at least 30 yards in each contest. Given his steady production and consistent volume, fantasy managers should continue to view the 34-year-old as a solid low-end TE1 in PPR leagues heading into a Week 13 matchup against the Tennessee Titans.Source: ESPN.com
1 day agoA promising start ended with an ugly defeat for Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud, who finished 20-for-33 for 247 yards, two touchdowns, and two interceptions in a 32-27 loss to Tennessee. He also added 18 rushing yards, which accounted for nearly half of Houston's 40 rushing yards as a team. The second-year quarterback threw first-half touchdowns to tight end Cade Stover and receiver Nico Collins, but went on to throw two picks, and his attempt at a game-tying drive ended with a safety. Houston continues to be mercurial as an offense, but still holds the lead in the AFC South. Luckily, Stroud has a plus matchup with Jacksonville in Week 13.Source: ESPN
1 day agoNew England Patriots tight end Austin Hooper caught each of his four targets for 59 yards and one touchdown during Sunday's Week 12 loss to the Miami Dolphins. Hooper's biggest play was a 38-yard touchdown reception that would end up being New England's only offensive touchdown of the game. The 30-year-old continues to look like one of the best No. 2 tight ends in the NFL; he remains behind Hunter Henry in the pecking order but has carved out a role for himself, catching at least three passes for the third consecutive week. He'll rank just outside the top 24 fantasy tight ends heading into Week 13 against Indianapolis.Source: RotoBaller
1 day agoWashington Commanders wide receiver Noah Brown brought in six receptions for 71 yards while seeing a team-high of 10 targets in their loss to the Dallas Cowboys. This was an impressive showing for Brown, as he caught just one pass of four yards last week during their loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. Since Week 6, Brown has slowly begun to earn a permanent role in the Washington passing attack. During this stretch, Brown has seen at least six targets in all but two games. Seeing him draw an impressive target share for some time, fantasy managers in deeper formats should view Brown as a decent high-floor flex option heading into a Week 13 tilt against the Tennessee Titans.Source: ESPN.com
1 day agoWashington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin caught five of his six targets for 102 yards and a score in their loss to the Dallas Cowboys. McLaurin was held in check through most of the afternoon but finally broke free as he tallied an 86-yard score late in the fourth quarter to set up the potential game-tying extra-point attempt. Even though McLaurin was having a quiet game, Daniels still looked his way six times, which was third most on the team, behind only Noah Brown and Zach Ertz. Given his big-play ability, fantasy managers should still view him as a must-start option in Week 13 when he faces the Tennessee Titans.Source: ESPN.com
1 day agoNew England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson rushed for 13 yards on eight carries during Sunday's Week 12 loss to the Miami Dolphins. He also failed to catch either of his two targets. If it's any consolation, he did deliver a two-point conversion in the defeat. Still, the Patriots' lead running back had one of his worst games of the season, demonstrating reduced volume, limited production, and poor efficiency while failing to score a touchdown for the third week in a row. It was a disappointing and somewhat surprising finish from Stevenson given that he had 93 scrimmage yards and one touchdown the last time he faced the Dolphins. Moving forward, he's merely an RB3/FLEX option in fantasy football, including next week against the Indianapolis Colts.Source: RotoBaller
1 day agoWashington Commanders running back Austin Ekeler (undisclosed) left Sunday's game with an undisclosed injury. Ekeler sustained this injury on a kickoff return in the final minutes. After taking the hit, the running back remained on the field for some time but was able to walk off with assistance from the training staff. Before the injury, Ekeler carried the ball nine times for 22 yards and caught two of his three targets for three yards. With Brian Robinson Jr. (ankle) leaving the game twice, Ekeler saw most of the snaps for a majority of the afternoon. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status heading into a Week 13 tilt against the Tennessee Titans. If he happens to miss time, Jeremy McNichols could see a significant increase in snaps.
Update: Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network reported that Austin Ekeler suffered a concussion.Source: ESPN.com
1 day agoTampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield came out of the bye week ready to play in Week 12. Mayfield looked sharp once again as he completed 24-of-30 passing attempts for 294 yards in the win over the New York Giants. Mayfield didn't throw a touchdown or an interception, but he did rush four times for 29 yards and a score. The return of wide receiver Mike Evans was a welcoming sight as the duo connected five times during this game. It's worth noting that Mayfield did briefly exit the game due to a neck stinger, but returned to finish out the game. It wasn't a great fantasy day for Mayfield as the two fumbles didn't help his cause. Fantasy managers should expect a QB1 performance from Mayfield during next week's matchup against the Carolina Panthers.Source: ESPN
