2 days agoPittsburgh Steelers running back Najee Harris was held to 41 rushing yards on 16 carries in a Week 12 loss to the Cleveland Browns. He hauled in both of his targets for an additional 13 yards through the air. For the first time since Week 5, Harris failed to score double-digit fantasy points as he found very little running room on Thursday night. Backfield mate Jaylen Warren was far more efficient and found the end zone in the contest. While it's highly unlikely Harris will lose his job at any point this season, it's certainly possible that he and Warren split touches fairly evenly going forward. This would make him a bit more difficult to trust for fantasy, especially if Pittsburgh's offense continues to struggle in the red zone. The 26-year-old will hope to bounce back in a slightly more appealing matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals next week.Source: ESPN

2 days agoArizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray should be viewed as a high-end QB1 in fantasy football for Week 12. The Cardinals are coming off a bye week and will travel to Seattle to take on the Seahawks in an important divisional matchup. Murray has been playing some of his best football recently, and the Cardinals' offense is operating at one of the highest levels in the NFL. The Seahawks' defense has been inconsistent this season and ranks in the middle of the pack, 19th, against opposing fantasy quarterbacks. The Cardinals are coming off two impressive blowout victories, where Murray's rushing ability wasn't needed to secure the win. However, in what should be a closely contested divisional game, you can expect the Cardinals to give Murray more rushing responsibilities. Fantasy managers should have full confidence in Murray as their starting quarterback this week.Source: RotoBaller
2 days agoNew England Patriots kicker Joey Slye should be viewed as a dependable top-10 fantasy option heading into Sunday's game against the Miami Dolphins. The veteran has posted inconsistent results this season, but he's coming off a pair of strong showings over which he has gone 7-for-7 on field goals and 2-for-3 on extra points. Slye has been the overall K2 during that two-game span, and although it's a small sample size, fantasy managers should feel good about his productivity going forward. Boosting his value is a favorable matchup against the Dolphins, who have allowed the most fantasy points to opposing kickers in 2024. Miami allows a league-high 2.4 field goals per game, and they're also the only team to surrender an average of at least one field goal per game from beyond 50 yards. Managers should feel good about Slye's chances of kicking far and often with significant success.Source: RotoBaller
2 days agoPittsburgh Steelers quarterback Russell Wilson completed 21 of his 28 pass attempts for 270 yards and a touchdown in a 24-19 loss to the Cleveland Browns. He added 10 rushing yards on three carries but lost a fumble. Although Wilson completed his first 11 passes and made some impressive deep throws, he struggled to get the ball into the end zone for a second consecutive week. Pittsburgh's first touchdown, a 3-yard run by Jaylen Warren, came in the fourth quarter with Justin Fields in at quarterback near the goal line. The Steelers experimented with Fields throughout the contest, but it was Wilson who managed to hit Calvin Austin III for a 23-yard score that gave the team a 19-18 lead with just over six minutes remaining. Wilson is now 4-1 as a starter this season and will hope to get back on track in Week 13 against the Cincinnati Bengals.Source: ESPN

2 days agoNew England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson has posted mixed results this season, ranking inside the top-10 fantasy running backs in half of his games but also turning in three performances outside the top 40. Stevenson has struggled with efficiency this year, tallying a career-low 3.8 yards per carry. On the other hand, he has developed a nose for the end zone, posting a career-high seven touchdowns through just 10 contests. In addition to his touchdown tally so far, Stevenson's previous matchup against Miami resulted in an overall RB5 finish -- he rushed for 89 yards, caught four passes, and scored a touchdown in his last time facing the Dolphins. Miami has been strong against the pass, but they're softer against the run, surrendering the 10th-most fantasy points and fifth-most total touchdowns to opposing running backs. The 26-year-old has a good chance to find the end zone, and he boasts legitimate top-12 upside once again.Source: RotoBaller

2 days agoSan Francisco 49ers edge rusher Nick Bosa (hip, oblique) was unable to practice on Thursday and his status for Sunday's game against the Green Bay Packers is in serious doubt. Mike Garafalo of NFL Network says that Bosa is "questionable at best" after he was re-injured during their matchup with the Seattle Seahawks. He's played in all 10 games for the 49ers so far this year and has notched 7.0 sacks which leads the defense. If he's unable to suit up, that would leave Robert Beal Jr. as the next man up.Source: Mike Garafolo
2 days agoThe Cleveland Browns defense allowed 19 points while notching four sacks and forcing one turnover in a 24-19 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 12's Thursday night game. The Browns defense played inspired football against their division rivals on a snowy, cold evening in Cleveland. They were led by Myles Garrett, who had three sacks and forced a fumble in the close win. The Browns will look to stay hot in Week 13's Monday night game against a hot Denver Broncos offense.Source: NFL.com
2 days agoCleveland Browns kicker Dustin Hopkins made his lone field-goal attempt and added an extra point in a 24-19 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 12's Thursday night game. It was a cold, snowy evening in Cleveland, so conditions for the kickers of both teams were not ideal. That led to Cleveland going for it on fourth down several times in field-goal range throughout the game, thus cutting into Hopkins' workload. Hopkins has now hit 15 of his 21 field-goal attempts through 10 games this season. He will now prepare to take on the Denver Broncos in Week 13.Source: NFL.com
2 days agoCleveland Browns tight end David Njoku caught one of his five targets for nine yards and added a two-point conversion in a 24-19 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 12's Thursday night game. Njoku was held in check on a cold, snowy evening in Cleveland despite tying for second on the team with his five targets. It could have been a better game for Njoku, who got wide open but dropped an easy touchdown pass in the end zone in the second half, although the Browns were able to bounce back and get a short Jameis Winston rushing touchdown on the ensuing play. Njoku will remain locked in as a TE1 in fantasy heading into a Week 13 matchup against the Denver Broncos.Source: NFL.com
