2 days agoWashington Commanders wide receiver Dyami Brown has struggled to make a significant impact throughout the first few months of the season. Last week, Brown hauled in one of his two targets for four yards in the loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. The 25-year-old has fallen on the depth chart and has seen less than 50 percent of the offensive snaps in six straight games. Fantasy managers should look elsewhere for help with the Commanders healthy at wideout right now. Brown is unlikely to have much of an impact against the Dallas Cowboys in Week 12.Source: ESPN
2 days agoNew York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers was recently in discussions to be benched or possibly placed on the injured reserve. It sounds like the Jets are done with the Rodgers experiment in New York. The feeling sounds mutual as Rodgers as expressed interest in playing for another team in 2025. The 40-year-old has 2,442 passing yards with 17 touchdowns and seven interceptions heading into Week 12. It has been a disaster of a season for the Jets as they were expected to be legitimate playoff contenders. It sounds like the organization would like to wipe the slate clean and move on from Rodgers. Now, it remains to be seen if any team would be willing to add the former MVP in 2025.Source: Dianna Russini
2 days agoSan Francisco 49ers left tackle Trent Williams (ankle) is currently listed as questionable ahead of the Week 12 matchup against the Green Bay Packers. Williams has sat out practice all week but is still expected to suit up this weekend. The organization is hopeful that Williams can work through his ankle soreness during pregame warmups. The loss of Williams would be another blow to an already banged up 49ers roster. Jaylon Moore is listed as second on the depth chart, so he figures to start if Williams is unable to play.Source: Adam Schefter

2 days agoQuarterback Daniel Jones, who is expected to clear waivers and become a free agent on Monday, will likely pursue signing a one-year deal with a contender rather than marketing himself to quarterback-needy teams that have already been eliminated from the playoff hunt, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Specifically, Schefter mentioned the Ravens and Vikings as the two teams most likely to sign him, but he also clarified that there are additional teams in the mix. Regardless of where he signs, it sounds like Jones will be the backup, offering valuable depth in case a starter gets injured.Source: Adam Schefter
2 days agoSan Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy (shoulder) has been ruled out for Week 12, but the team believes he'll be able to play next weekend against the Buffalo Bills. Purdy's progress was inconsistent earlier this week, and the team did think he'd be able to suit up against the Green Bay Packers before ruling him out. Fantasy managers should expect all Niners playmakers to take a step back in terms of fantasy production. Meanwhile, interim starter Brandon Alle will rank as a low-end QB2.Source: Adam Schefter
2 days agoThe Seattle Seahawks believe "it'll be close" for tight end Noah Fant (groin, oblique) to play in Week 12 against the Arizona Cardinals. He had been listed as questionable, and although he's making progress, fantasy managers could be forced to pivot to a different fantasy starter currently on their bench. If Fant misses another game, A.J. Barner will step up as Seattle's top tight end.Source: Ian Rapoport
2 days agoCarolina Panthers running back Jonathon Brooks (knee) will not be on a pitch count as he makes his NFL debut, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. The rookie played exceptionally well in college but has not yet taken a snap at the pro level. Even though he's expected to have a full workload this week, Brooks is not a dependable fantasy starter quite yet. Chuba Hubbard will lead Carolina's backfield on Sunday.Source: Ian Rapoport
2 days agoNew York Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers (groin) is expected to play in Week 12 despite being listed as questionable, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Nabers is slated to face off against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday. He has appeared in eight games this season, catching 61 passes for 607 yards and three touchdowns. Fantasy managers should treat him as a high-end fantasy WR2 despite potential lingering effects from his groin issue this week.Source: Ian Rapoport
2 days agoHouston Texans running back Dare Ogunbowale hasn't done much to benefit fantasy managers during the 2024-25 campaign. With Joe Mixon and Dameon Pierce both missing time this season due to injury, Ogunbowale had a chance to get involved, even if it was only for a game or two. Yet, that didn't happen, with the 30-year-old amassing only 25 carries for 68 yards this season. To be fair, he did have a receiving touchdown in the Week 4 victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars. Still, outside of that, Ogunbowale has been non-existent from a fantasy standpoint. Keep him out of the starting line in Week 12 versus the Titans.Source: ESPN
2 days agoDenver Broncos tight end Adam Trautman currently sits atop the depth chart. However, that hasn't meant much, with the 27-year-old amassing only eight catches for 156 yards and a touchdown this season. Granted, Bo Nix had his share of struggles early on in the 2024-25 campaign. But with Nix turning it around over the last few months, most anticipated Trautman would be at least a little more productive. With that in mind, Trautman may make a few more trips to the end zone before the end of the regular season. Still, unless he shows he'll be involved consistently, he has no business being in any fantasy lineup for Week 12 versus the Las Vegas Raiders.Source: ESPN
2 days agoKansas City Chiefs wide receiver Mecole Hardman caught the pass from quarterback Patrick Mahomes that resulted in his team defeating the 49ers in Super Bowl LVIII. Unfortunately, the 26-year-old hasn't been relevant since then, catching only 12 passes for 90 yards during the 2024-25 campaign. With the number of injuries on the roster this season, most assumed Hardman would have a chance to get more involved. However, that hasn't happened. Of course, he's been known to have some impressive fantasy showings over the years. Still, outside of his contributions as a member of the special teams unit, Hardman likely won't see much work in Week 12 versus the Carolina Panthers.Source: ESPN
2 days agoWashington Commanders wide receiver Luke McCaffrey hasn't had a productive inaugural year. In 11 appearances this season, the 2024 No. 100 overall pick has only 13 catches for 134 yards. Without a doubt, production like that won't earn him a spot in any fantasy lineup in Week 12 versus the Dallas Cowboys. But McCaffrey may get a chance to show his stuff, so he's worth stashing in dynasty formats in case he shows signs of life in the years ahead.Source: ESPN
2 days agoWashington Commanders wide receiver Olamide Zaccheaus has been quiet in his first season with the team. After a few productive outings while with the Atlanta Falcons, the 27-year-old has barely been involved in 2024-25, catching only 23 passes (34 targets) for 242 yards. In all fairness, Jayden Daniels is capable of making big gains using his legs. Terry McLaurin, Brian Robinson Jr., and Austin Ekeler also command a certain amount of attention whenever they step on the field. As a result, Zaccheaus doesn't have a place in fantasy lineups for Week 12 versus the Dallas Cowboys. That's not expected to change anytime soon unless someone goes down with an injury.Source: ESPN
2 days agoTampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans (hamstring) is expected to suit up for Sunday's meeting with the New York Giants. The wideout has battled a hamstring injury, keeping him off the field for the Bucs' previous three contests. Tampa could certainly use him, with the team dropping four-straight games heading into Week 12. But help is likely on the way in the form of Evans, who had 26 catches for 335 yards and six touchdowns before going on the shelf. Without question, fantasy managers can get him back in the starting lineup despite the concern of a lightened workload. Evans' return should also have a positive impact on Baker Mayfield. On the other hand, his presence may not be good news for Cade Otton, who had 30 catches and three touchdowns in his last four appearances.Source: Adam Schefter
