3 days agoMemphis Grizzlies guard
Marcus Smart (illness) is officially listed as questionable for Saturday's matchup with the Chicago Bulls. Smart has missed the last three games while dealing with an illness and previously sat out six consecutive contests earlier this season due to a left ankle injury, limiting his overall court time. If he remains sidelined,
Jaylen Wells and
Luke Kennard are likely to see increased minutes for Memphis. So far, Smart's season has fallen short of fantasy expectations, with averages of 7.4 points, 2.6 rebounds, and 3.7 assists per game. However, his minimal playing time leaves room for optimism that he can improve once fully healthy.

Deandre Ayton (finger) will miss a fifth consecutive game on Friday versus Houston. He was initially considered doubtful for the clash, meaning Ayton's return in Saturday's rematch between the teams isn't likely either.
Donovan Clingan and
Robert Williams III will continue to cover the minutes at the five position. Clingan has averaged 9.3 points, 8.8 rebounds, and 3.5 blocks since grabbing Ayton's spot in the first unit.

3 days agoSeattle Seahawks wide receiver
DK Metcalf should have a strong game in Week 12 against the Arizona Cardinals. The Cardinals are a middle-of-the-road matchup for wide receivers in fantasy but Metcalf has been excellent for much of the season. He tends to also have strong showings against Arizona given that he faces them twice a year. The Seahawks moved to a more run-heavy attack in Week 11 against the San Francisco 49ers. They wound up winning the game so that may be prescriptive moving forward. As such, Metcalf could see a dip in volume but he still earned nine targets in Week 11. This game should be close, but Metcalf is still in prime position to succeed as the team's No. 1 wide receiver. He should also be much healthier this week now that he is several weeks removed from his MCL sprain. Fire up Metcalf as a WR2 in Week 12.

3 days agoNew Orleans Pelicans center
Yves Missi (shoulder) will sit out Friday's game against Golden State. He has been ruled out for the contest after carrying a questionable tag on the initial injury report.
Jeremiah Robinson-Earl and
Trey Jemison are set to benefit from Missi's absence. Robinson-Earl looks like the better fantasy option of the two, although he's not been overly productive with his minutes. In this season's first two meetings with the Warriors, New Orleans went with
Daniel Theis as the starting center, but he's been out of the rotation in recent weeks.

3 days agoSeattle Seahawks quarterback
Geno Smith is in a great position to succeed against the Arizona Cardinals in Week 12. The Cardinals are allowing 218.5 passing yards per game which is No. 21 in the league. The Seahawks were much more efficient as an offense and displayed balance in Week 11 against the San Francisco 49ers. If the team made substantial changes during their Week 10 bye, then Smith should be able to take advantage of this positive matchup. The Cardinals roll into Seattle hot off a four-game winning streak and will be well-rested after a Week 11 bye. However, the Seahawks' receiving core should be fully healthy with wide receiver
DK Metcalf off the injury report. Smith should be able to pass for over 200 yards and deliver a couple of touchdowns. In a week in which six teams are on a bye, Smith deserves to be in fantasy lineups.
--Quincy Milton III - RotoBallerSource: RotoBaller
3 days agoSeattle Seahawks running back
Kenneth Walker III is a high-end RB2 in Week 12. The Seahawks host the Arizona Cardinals who are the No. 25 defense against opposing running backs in fantasy. Walker has been held in check of late in fantasy, but this is a great matchup for him to get things going. His volume continues to be excellent, particularly his passing game usage. It is only a matter of time before Walker begins to hit on big plays once again. As long as the Seahawks keep this game close, Walker has a chance to push for 20 carries. He should see around three targets as well. Additionally, the Seahawks made an effort to be more balanced in Week 11 after having time to evaluate their offense after their Week 10 bye. As a result, the offense was more efficient, and Walker had plenty of touches. Look for the Seahawks to strive for the same balance in Week 12 and for Walker to deliver for fantasy.
--Quincy Milton III - RotoBallerSource: RotoBaller
3 days agoThe Seattle Seahawks defense/special teams showed up against a talented San Francisco 49ers offense in Week 11 but should be left on waivers in Week 12 against the Arizona Cardinals. The Cardinals are No. 10 against opposing D/STs in fantasy. Their offense has been relatively inconsistent this season, but they always are a threat to score 30 or more points. The Seahawks' defense is getting healthier as the season wears on, but they are still difficult to trust in fantasy. The run defense for the Seahawks has been especially problematic and the Cardinals have the fifth-best running game in the league. The Seahawks are likely to be torn up by running backs
James Conner and
Trey Benson in this game. They are not worth the risk in Week 12.
--Quincy Milton III - RotoBallerSource: Brady Henderson
3 days agoSeattle Seahawks kicker
Jason Myers could have a solid outing in Week 12 against the Arizona Cardinals. With the Seahawks likely able to move the ball well against the Cardinals, Myers should be in plenty of solid scoring positions. Myers matched his season high with 12 fantasy points against the San Francisco 49ers in Week 11. With the Seahawks looking more cohesive on offense last week, the arrow could be pointing up for Myers. Myers has connected on 14 of 17 field goals this year, including five from over 50 yards. His accuracy has not been an issue; however, his opportunities have. He should continue to display his talent this week. With six teams on a bye, Myers is a solid target as a fill-in attached to a good offense.

3 days agoGreen Bay Packers wide receiver
Jayden Reed has been a volatile pass-catching option for the Packers but looks to be on the good side of variance as the Packers host the San Francisco 49ers in Week 12. Reed followed up a Week 9 where he had 113 receiving yards with a dud outing after the team's Week 10 bye. With just two receptions and 23 yards, Reed's performance was very disappointing, but at the very least, he did catch a touchdown to soften the blow. Against slot receivers, the 49ers have been incredibly stout, allowing just the fourth-fewest fantasy points per game. While Reed is the most dynamic pass-catching weapon the Packers have, he hasn't been immune to the team's offensive struggles. For Week 12, Reed is a low-end WR2 that we know has the upside for much more.
--Kevin Tompkins - RotoBallerSource: RotoBaller
3 days agoGolden State Warriors point guard
Stephen Curry (knee) will play on Friday versus New Orleans. He has been upgraded from probable to available ahead of tip-off. Curry has been extremely efficient with his work in 2024-25, posting 23.0 points in 29.2 minutes with 44.1 percent shooting from three-point range. He's had a lighter workload due to multiple blowouts. The Warriors are again heavy favorites for Friday's game, which will likely impact Curry's minutes, but he should still provide plenty of fantasy value.
--Taavi Pailk - RotoBallerSource: NBA Injury Report
3 days agoPortland Trail Blazers guard
Scoot Henderson (quad) has been ruled out ahead of Friday's game against the Houston Rockets. Henderson will take a seat here after suffering a quad injury during Wednesday's contest. The loss of Henderson should open up plenty of minutes for the Blazers reserves.
Dalano Banton figures to gain the most fantasy value from the loss of Henderson. He has been fairly solid as he's scored 10 points or more in each of his last six games. Fantasy managers looking for help on Friday should consider Banton as an option until Henderson returns.
--Andy Webb - RotoBallerSource: Ben DuBose
3 days agoGreen Bay Packers running back
Josh Jacobs (quadricep, calf) will suit up for the Packers in Week 12 after practicing in a limited fashion on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. Jacobs was left off the injury report for their matchup with the San Francisco 49ers this week, and he could have some success against a 49ers' run defense that is much more susceptible. The 49ers are just 17th in EPA per rush attempt this season and since Week 6, have the second-highest missed-tackle rate since Week 6 and a middle-of-the-road success rate allowed (13th). Jacobs has been reliant on volume for the most part and that's been readily available to him this season in Green Bay. He'll be incredibly important for the Packers if they are to have success, so Jacobs could be in line for solid production as a back end RB1 for fantasy purposes.

3 days agoMiami Dolphins wide receiver
Tyreek Hill (wrist) has been removed from the team's final Week 12 injury report on Friday and will play on Sunday versus the division-rival New England Patriots at Hard Rock Stadium. Hill was limited in practice on Wednesday and Friday while being a full-go on Thursday. He's reportedly dealing with a torn wrist ligament but hasn't missed any games because of it and should be considered a must-start in fantasy lineups this weekend. The eight-time Pro Bowler has a disappointing season line to this point (44-523-3) for his standards, but he's found the end zone in each of the last two weeks and appears to be finding his rhythm with quarterback
Tua Tagovailoa again. The 30-year-old speedster has a good matchup on tap against a Patriots defense that has been a top-12 matchup for receivers this year in terms of half-PPR points allowed per game.
--Keith Hernandez - RotoBallerSource: MiamiDolphins.com
3 days agoMilwaukee Bucks forward/center
Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) will play on Friday against Indiana. The team has upgraded Antetokounmpo from probable to available. Antetokounmpo has been in the lineup for eight consecutive games, producing several big fantasy lines. He has hit the 40-point plateau three times in his past six outings and capped off last week with a triple-double. A rivalry of some sort started brewing between Antetokounmpo and the Pacers last season, and we should see the best version of him out there on Friday. He averaged a massive 42-point, 13-rebound double-double in the matchup in 2023-24.

3 days agoChicago Bulls guard
Coby White (neck) will suit up ahead of Friday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. As expected, White will play after being listed as probable on the injury report due to neck tightness. The expectation is that White should have his normal workload during this game. He has been a fairly consistent scoring option this season, so fantasy managers should make sure to get him back in their lineups ahead of tip-off.

3 days agoGreen Bay Packers quarterback
Jordan Love has been shaky to say the least over the past few weeks and he'll look to steady the ship as the Packers play host to the San Francisco 49ers in Week 12. Love has thrown just one touchdown pass in the past three games after starting his season with five consecutive games of multiple touchdown passes. The Packers are going to need Love to find his footing if the Packers are going to make some noise in the NFC, but the 49ers represent a stiff test. San Francisco has given up the sixth-fewest passing yards per game and the fourth-least passing touchdowns allowed. Love is just a high-end QB2 this week against the 49ers but has the upside to produce in a tough matchup.

3 days agoLos Angeles Chargers tight end
Hayden Hurst (hip) was added to the Week 12 injury report on Friday and was listed as a limited practice participant. It's something to watch as the Chargers head into their final practice day of the week on Saturday. The 31-year-old won't be on the fantasy radar as a starting option if he's active on Monday night against the Baltimore Ravens, though, with
Will Dissly being the clear-cut top tight end receiving option for quarterback
Justin Herbert this year. Hurst has yet to find the end zone in his first season with the Bolts and only has seven reception (12 targets) for 65 yards in his seven games played. Fantasy managers should steer clear of Hurst as he faces his former team in primetime on Monday despite six teams being on bye in Week 12.
--Keith Hernandez - RotoBallerSource: Los Angeles Chargers
3 days agoPhiladelphia 76ers center
Joel Embiid (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Friday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. Embiid was a game-time decision coming into this one as he planned to test out his knee pre-game. It doesn't sound like it went well for Embiid as he'll take a seat on Friday. His absence should result in
Andre Drummond moving into the starting five. Drummond has been a solid streaming option whenever Embiid is absent.
Guerschon Yabusele could all see an increased role after scoring 17 points in his last game.
--Andy Webb - RotoBallerSource: Kyle Neubeck
3 days agoGreen Bay Packers wide receiver
Romeo Doubs has had a tough go of things over the last couple of weeks, but he looks to right the ship as the Packers square off with the visiting San Francisco 49ers in Week 12. Despite running the most routes per dropback each week for the Packers, Doubs hasn't had the production come with that time on the field as he has just seven targets, five receptions, and 45 receiving yards in his last two games. It hasn't been as fruitful of a time for the Packers' passing game as quarterback
Jordan Love hasn't thrown for multiple touchdown passes in his last three games. With Doubs' falling production and the stingy 49ers pass defense set to take on the Packers, Doubs should be considered a mid-range flex play at best with a lower ceiling and a somewhat-shaky floor.

3 days agoBrooklyn Nets forward
Dorian Finney-Smith (ankle) will be available on Friday against Philadelphia. He was listed as questionable on the initial injury report, was then upgraded to probable, and has now received a further upgrade to available. Finney-Smith has put in solid all-around work as a starter this season, and it should continue on Friday. The 31-year-old averages 12.0 points and 4.3 rebounds for the month, with red-hot 54.8 percent shooting from deep.

Miles Bridges (knee) will be shut down and re-evaluated in one week. Bridges aggravated his knee injury during Tuesday's contest and was held out on Thursday as a result. The Hornets are going to be without Bridges for the next three games. The expectation is that the team uses a committee approach to fill the void.
Moussa Diabate,
Grant Williams, and
Cody Martin should all see increased roles for the next few games. Williams is the best streaming option out of the bunch, but Martin could be worth a look after a 15-point performance on Thursday.
--Andy Webb - RotoBallerSource: Hornets PR
3 days agoGreen Bay Packers wide receiver
Christian Watson is looking to build off the best game of his 2024 season as the Packers host the San Francisco 49ers in Week 12. Watson amassed four receptions and 150 receiving yards and was hugely efficient for the Packers in their win over the Chicago Bears in Week 11. Besides that outburst, Watson has been kept relatively in check by defenses and hasn't been given a full complement of snaps and routes as he's rotated with
Dontayvion Wicks and
Jayden Reed at times. Still, Watson hasn't been able to make the most of his opportunities, which makes him a volatile fantasy asset to start. That puts Watson squarely into flex territory in a tough matchup with the 49ers in Week 12.

3 days agoSan Francisco 49ers rookie wide receiver/kick returner
Jacob Cowing (concussion) was unable to clear the league's concussion protocol and has been ruled out for Week 12 versus the Green Bay Packers. Cowing suffered his concussion in last Sunday's loss to the division-rival Seattle Seahawks and will now be hoping to clear the concussion protocol next week in order to face the Buffalo Bills in Week 13. Unexpectedly, the 23-year-old has mostly factored in on special teams (returning punts) in his first year in the NFL, despite
Brandon Aiyuk (knee) being lost for the season. In nine games in 2024, the Arizona product only has two receptions on three targets for 50 yards. With Cowing out of action this Sunday at Lambeau Field,
Ronnie Bell will most likely serve as the team's punt returner.

Nicolas Claxton (back) will return from a three-game absence on Friday against Philadelphia. The Nets big man has shaken off a lower back problem and a probable tag in the process.
Ben Simmons has been Brooklyn's starting center during Claxton's absence and must settle for a lesser role now that he's back. Matchups against Philadelphia aren't easy for centers, and things could be even tougher for Claxton if
Joel Embiid (knee) gets the green light to play, so fantasy managers shouldn't expect too much from him in his comeback game.

3 days agoIndianapolis Colts running back
Jonathan Taylor was held to under 100 total yards rushing and receiving last Sunday for the second time in three weeks. While Week 12's showdown with the Lions looks like another tough matchup on paper, with the Lions allowing the fifth-fewest rushing yards per game thus far and the fourth-fewest fantasy points to running backs, if the Colts wish to keep this game close then they will have to run the ball to kill the clock and limit Detroit's opportunities, which in turn should benefit the 25-year-old. If the game gets out of reach, however, the Colts will find themselves in catch-up mode using the passing game, which Taylor has not been heavily involved in to this point, averaging less than two receptions per game for less than 14 yards per contest. Nevertheless, the talented former second-round draft pick projects as a back-end RB1 this week.

3 days agoThe San Francisco 49ers will be without starting quarterback
Brock Purdy (shoulder) in Week 12 against the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field, and they could also be without starting left tackle Trent Williams (ankle), as he's listed as questionable for Sunday's game. Williams played through the ankle injury in the Week 11 loss to the division-rival Seattle Seahawks and was pretty sore following the game. The 36-year-old has yet to miss a game in 2024, but the Niners may be forced to sit him out to let his ankle heal heading into next week's showdown against the Buffalo Bills. The Niners' offense will already be facing a serious downgrade with
Brandon Allen starting under center, and things could get worse if they don't have Williams at left tackle. The Packers' defense/special teams unit will be a sneaky streaming option this weekend.

C.J. Stroud should mostly be kept to Superflex duty as his team takes on the solid Tennessee Titans defense in Week 12. The Ohio State product has had an up-and-down second season, ranking a disappointing 17th among fantasy quarterbacks after his breakout rookie campaign. Part of the struggle has been pass protection, as Houston has allowed the third-most sacks in the league. Tennessee, despite its 2-8 record, has allowed the fewest air yards in the league and has been a competent defense. Stroud has his top playmaker back in receiver
Nico Collins, but with this matchup, managers in 1QB formats should be weighing their other possible options.
