2 days agoDallas Cowboys kicker
Brandon Aubrey has been one of the lone bright spots for the team this season. The 29-year-old did miss a 40-yard kick on Monday night, but he drilled a 53-yarder and a 64-yarder that was wiped off of the board due to an unnecessary roughness penalty. Aubrey's leg has arguably been Dallas' best offensive weapon this year. The star kicker faces a solid matchup this week against Washington although with the way Dallas' offense is trending, he is a tough start. He can be considered for lineups but there are better options out there, especially with
CeeDee Lamb (back, foot) potentially missing this weekend's contest.

2 days agoTampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver
Mike Evans (hamstring) will return to face the New York Giants in Week 12 this Sunday after missing the last three games with a right-hamstring injury. When asked how much the Bucs will use Evans in his return this weekend, head coach Todd Bowles said, "We'll play him as long as he's healthy and fresh. If he needs to be in there, he'll be in there, but we'll get him out when we have to." It sounds like the future Hall of Famer could have his reps capped somewhat, depending on how he's feeling during the game, but fantasy managers will want to throw him back into their lineups in all leagues.
Chris Godwin (ankle) is out for the season, which means Evans could handle even more targets than he did before his injury. Before getting hurt, Evans was averaging 11.8 half-PPR fantasy points a game, ranking him 21st among all wideouts.

2 days agoThe Dallas Cowboys defense continues to be one of the worst units fantasy-wise, as they have averaged 33.2 points surrendered over the last five games. That trajectory should not change on Sunday as they travel to face the Washington Commanders, who are in need of a get-right game. Even with a multitude of teams on bye this week, the Dallas defense is not a viable option for lineups. Look elsewhere for your fantasy defense.

2 days agoDallas Cowboys second-year tight end
Luke Schoonmaker is coming off of the most productive game of his career after
Jake Ferguson (concussion) left early. Ferguson is trending towards missing Sunday's game against Washington, meaning Schoonmaker will likely again form a committee at tight end with rookie
Brevyn Spann-Ford. With
CeeDee Lamb (back, foot) also banged up and potentially missing the game, there will be plenty of targets to spread around against a mediocre Washington pass defense. Schoonmaker is a viable option at a thin tight end position amidst a plethora of bye weeks.

2 days agoCarolina Panthers rookie wide receiver
Jalen Coker (quadriceps) popped up on the Week 12 injury report and missed practice on Friday with a quad injury. The Panthers listed him as questionable to play in Sunday's contest against the visiting Kansas City Chiefs. Given the fact that the 23-year-old's injury occurred in the final practice of the week, he may be on the wrong side of questionable for this weekend. The good news for the Panthers is that veteran
Adam Thielen (hamstring), although also listed as questionable, is expected to play against KC for the first time since Week 3. If Coker plays, he won't be a recommended flex play in deep fantasy leagues with the return of Thielen. Coker has caught 17 of his 26 targets for 263 yards and one TD in his first seven NFL games. If he's ruled out on Sunday,
David Moore would be in line to serve as Carolina's WR3.

2 days agoCarolina Panthers kicker
Eddy Pineiro (knee) is listed as questionable to play in Week 12 on Sunday versus the Kansas City Chiefs with a left-knee injury that he suffered in Germany during the overtime celebration in the win over the New York Giants in Week 10, according to head coach Dave Canales. However, Canales also said Pineiro had two good practices this week coming out of the bye and is expected to play this weekend. The 29-year-old probably won't be 100 percent on Sunday, though, and fantasy managers should be looking to avoid him against one of the better defenses in the league in KC. Carolina's inconsistent offense has only provided Pineiro with 13 field-goal attempts (31st in the NFL) in 2024 and 17 extra-point opportunities (tied for 21st). Continue to avoid Pineiro as a fantasy kicker.

2 days agoDallas Cowboys wide receiver
Jalen Tolbert has not had more than four receptions since Week 5 and has also only recorded one touchdown in that span, but the third-year receiver could be back on the fantasy radar on Sunday as the Cowboys take on the Washington Commanders. Wide receiver
CeeDee Lamb (back, shoulder) is banged up and could miss the contest, while tight end
Jake Ferguson (concussion) is unlikely to play.
Brandin Cooks (knee) is trending towards returning, meaning he and Tolbert could be the top two pass catchers for quarterback
Cooper Rush on Sunday. Even if Lamb is ruled out, Tolbert remains a deep league dart throw given that it is unclear how the passing volume would shake out.

2 days agoAfter missing practice all week, Carolina Panthers running back
Miles Sanders (ankle) has officially been ruled out for Week 12 against the Kansas City Chiefs. Sanders said he's dealing with a severely sprained ankle that he suffered in the Week 10 loss to the New York Giants in Germany, which means he may not be ready to return for Week 13 to face the division-rival Tampa Bay Buccaneers. His fantasy stock is taking another hit with rookie
Jonathon Brooks (knee) fully expected to make his NFL debut this weekend against the Chiefs after recovering from an ACL tear that he suffered in 2023 in his final collegiate season at Texas. Brooks will serve as the change-of-pace back behind starter
Chuba Hubbard on Sunday and most likely for the rest of the 2024 season, relegating Sanders to the RB3 role whenever he recovers from his ankle injury.

2 days agoDallas Cowboys running back
Rico Dowdle is one of the lone healthy players on the offense heading into Week 13. Despite Dallas' struggles running the ball behind a young offensive line, Dowdle grades as a flex option this week against a Washington defense that surrenders the sixth-most fantasy points per game to opposing running backs. Dowdle could see even more touches than usual if star receiver
CeeDee Lamb (back, foot) misses Sunday's tilt, making him a high-end flex option. His ceiling is limited due to Dallas' offensive struggles, but Dowdle should be started in most formats with loads of byes across the league.

2 days agoPhiladelphia Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni said that quarterback
Jalen Hurts (ankle) is "good to go" for the Week 12 game against the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday night. Hurts received some extra treatment on his ankle on Wednesday and was listed as limited in practice, but he returned to a full practice session on Thursday and was never expected to be in danger of missing the Week 12 contest. Although he did score his 11th rushing touchdown of the year (leads all QBs) in last Thursday night's win over the division-rival Washington Commanders, Hurts was overshadowed by running back
Saquon Barkley and will be looking to bounce back in a plus matchup against LA in primetime. The 26-year-old signal-caller is the QB3 in overall fantasy points through 11 weeks and is a must-start in all fantasy lineups. There's a good chance he'll score another TD on the ground this weekend.

2 days agoCarolina Panthers wide receiver
Adam Thielen (hamstring) and tight end
Tommy Tremble (back) will play this weekend against the Kansas City Chiefs, according to Mike Kaye of The Observer. Thielen has been on the injured reserve since suffering a hamstring injury in Week 3 against the Las Vegas Raiders. Tremble has been held out of action for the past two weeks. Fantasy managers should expect Thielen to operate as a full-time option in a young Carolina receiving room. Tremble should be expected to split time with rookie tight end
Ja'Tavion Sanders. Theilen could be worth a look as a low-end flex option in deeper formats, as the Panthers will likely be trailing against the Chiefs, while Tremble should be left out of all lineups given his uncertain playing time.
UPDATE: Thielen is listed as questionable but is expected to play on Sunday.--Andy Smith - RotoBallerSource: Mike Kaye
2 days agoDallas Cowboys quarterback
Cooper Rush has struggled to get the offense moving in his two starts, leaving the door open for quarterback
Trey Lance to potentially get some playing time in the coming weeks. Rush did throw for 354 yards on 55 pass attempts last week given the nature of the game, but most of his fantasy production came in garbage time. If Dallas is blown out again like they are projected to be, Rush may cede those late-game snaps to Lance. Rush also may be without his top two pass-catchers, with
CeeDee Lamb (back, foot) missing Thursday's practice and
Jake Ferguson (concussion) trending towards missing. Dallas takes on Washington on Sunday and even though it is a solid matchup for opposing quarterbacks, Rush should be avoided.

2 days agoCarolina Panthers rookie running back
Jonathon Brooks (knee) is set to make his NFL debut this weekend against the Kansas City Chiefs, according to David Newton of ESPN. The second-round selection in this year's NFL draft has been sidelined all season due to suffering a torn ACL last November during his final season at Texas. Brooks was able to log three consecutive full practice sessions this week, which suggests he may be given a solid workload in his NFL debut. However, the 21-year-old will likely split time with presumed No.1 option
Chuba Hubbard during the remainder of the season, limiting each other's fantasy ceiling. For now, fantasy managers should still view Hubbard as a solid RB2, with Brooks projecting it as a low-end flex option, facing a tough Kansas City run defense.
UPDATE: Brooks is listed as questionable but is expected to play on Sunday.--Andy Smith - RotoBallerSource: David Newton
2 days agoPhiladelphia Eagles wide receiver
DeVonta Smith (hamstring) was not seen at Friday's practice, according to Zach Berman of The Athletic. Smith has been unable to practice all week and is now in danger of missing this weekend's game against the Los Angeles Rams. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status over the weekend, as he will likely carry an injury designation. The former first-round pick has struggled to find consistency this season, as he has scored at least 15.0 PPR points on six occasions but fell under double-digits in the other three. If Smith cannot play, fantasy managers should expect
A.J. Brown to see a heavy dose of targets, with tight end
Dallas Goedert likely operating as the No.2 pass-catching open.

2 days agoNew York Giants rookie wide receiver
Malik Nabers (groin) was not seen during Friday's practice, according to Dan Duggan of The Athletic. Duggan reported that the LSU standout is dealing with the same groin issue he had earlier in the season during Week 7. However, Nabers was able to suit up that week and did not miss any time due to it. Fantasy managers should pay close attention to his status throughout the weekend in case he faces another setback. The former first-round pick has shown elite upside throughout his rookie campaign, as he has averaged an impressive 17.4 PPR points per game while playing on a struggling offensive unit. If Nabers can suit up this weekend, fantasy managers should feel confident starting him in all formats as a low-end WR1.
