3 days agoThe Los Angeles Rams defense ranks outside the top 12 fantasy options heading into Sunday's game against the Philadelphia Eagles. The Rams have posted modest results this season, ranking 10th in fantasy points among D/ST units and posting double-digit fantasy points in their commanding win over the New England Patriots last weekend. However, the Rams get a much tougher task this Sunday in the form of the Eagles, who have scored the seventh-most points in the NFL, led by a star-studded offense featuring
Jalen Hurts,
Saquon Barkley,
A.J. Brown,
DeVonta Smith, and
Dallas Goedert. If there's anything working in Los Angeles' favor, it's that the Eagles have allowed the 17th-most fantasy points to opposing D/ST units. That's not the most appealing stat, but modest upside is better than no upside. Still, managers are advised to look elsewhere for fantasy production in Week 12.

3 days agoLos Angeles Rams tight end
Davis Allen falls outside the top 24 fantasy options heading into Week 12 against the Philadelphia Eagles. While Allen impressed with five catches and 34 yards back in Week 10, he was less productive and less involved against the New England Patriots last Sunday, failing to catch a pass. Not only was he out-produced by fellow tight end
Colby Parkinson (one catch, 19 yards, one touchdown), but he also saw his snap share drop to 65 percent. Further complicating Allen's status is a tough matchup against the Eagles. Philadelphia has defended tight ends quite well this season, allowing the third-fewest fantasy points and second-fewest touchdowns to the position. Between the presence of Parkinson and a tougher opponent in Philadelphia, Allen should be benched in most fantasy leagues this week.

3 days agoMiami Dolphins running back Raheem Mostert has been nonexistent since his costly fumble back in Week 9 against the Buffalo Bills. So much so that he didn't even receive a single carry last week vs. the Las Vegas Raiders in their 34-19 win; that can all change this week. Mostert will go up against a New England Patriots run defense that has given up the third-most rushing yards to running backs this season. It should also be noted that in his last three meetings, the 32-year-old speedster averaged 82.3 rushing yards per game and had three touchdowns. With the recent lack of playing time, Mostert is a touchdown-dependent flex at best for Week 12 and is RotoBaller's RB40 for Week 12.--Jake Walker - RotoBallerSource: Rotoballer
3 days agoMiami Dolphins running back De'Von Achane is coming off another solid performance in their 34-19 win in Week 11 over the Las Vegas Raiders. He carried the ball 17 times for 73 yards and a touchdown. He also added four receptions for 32 yards. Achane has been on an absolute tear since Tua Tagovailoa's (concussion) return in Week 8. He's now ranked as the overall fantasy RB8 and scored 20+ PPR points in three of his last four games. This week, he gets a matchup against a New England Patriots defense that ranks 23rd in PPR points allowed to running backs per game. Miami must win this game, and Achane has been the hot handout of the backfield. Expect his usual workhorse role; start him as a safe floor RB1 with a very high upside. He checks into Week 12 as RotoBallers RB3 in the weekly rankings.--Jake Walker - RotoBallerSource: RotoBaller
3 days agoMiami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa enters Week 12, coming off his best performance of the season. Miami put up their season high in points in a game this season with their 34-19 victory over the Las Vegas Raiders. The offense has scored 27-plus points in three of their last four games. This week presents a matchup against a New England Patriots unit that ranks 18th in total fantasy points allowed to quarterbacks this season. Tagovailoa has success in his career against New England, going (6-0) with a 92.2 passer rating. In 2024, New England's defense has allowed an average passer rating of 107.7 and has allowed 1,033 yards after the catch. Big plays could be coming this week. Tagovailoa is a great start and comes in as the QB11 for the weekly RotoBaller rankings.--Jake Walker - RotoBallerSource: Rotoballer
3 days agoThe Philadelphia Eagles defense will go on the road to take on the Los Angeles Rams in Week 12 on Sunday night. The defense has not given up more than 20 points since Week 4 and proved they can hold good offenses in check last week when they stifled rookie
Jayden Daniels and the Washington Commanders on Thursday night football. The Rams are another tall task to face, especially with their wide receivers now healthy. However, with six teams on bye this week, you can do a lot worse than starting a defense that has been on fire since the team's Week 5 bye.

3 days agoPhiladelphia Eagles kicker
Jake Elliott will go on the road to take on the Los Angeles Rams in Week 12. The veteran has had a rough season for fantasy purposes. After being passed up multiple times this season on fourth down in favor of going for it, the team finally decided to try and take the points often last week against Washington. Elliott proceeded to miss two of four field goals and also missed one of his three extra-point attempts. Playing in Los Angeles is favorable for him, but it will be interesting to see what direction head coach Nick Sirianni will go when in field goal range on fourth down after last week's poor performance. Even with six teams on bye, Elliott remains tough to trust in Week 12.

3 days agoPhiladelphia Eagles tight end
Dallas Goedert will go on the road to take on the Los Angeles Rams in Week 12 on Sunday night. The 29-year-old has finished as a top 12 fantasy option the past two weeks since returning from injury and should see an increased target share with No. 2 wide receiver
DeVonta Smith (hamstring) ruled out. The matchup with the Rams is great, as they allow the seventh-most fantasy points per game to tight ends and will have their hands full trying to slow down
Saquon Barkley and the Eagles run game. Receivers
Jahan Dotson and
Johnny Wilson will see their roles increase as well, but they have not shown anything special in 2024 and Goedert is averaging six targets per game in ones he has not left early due to injury. Fire up the veteran with confidence in Week 12.

3 days agoPhiladelphia Eagles wide receiver
Johnny Wilson will go on the road to take on the Los Angeles Rams in Week 12 on Sunday night. The rookie has had a quiet 2024 campaign but should see an increase in snaps with star receiver
DeVonta Smith (hamstring) ruled out. The matchup against the Rams is exploitable, as they allow the 10th-most fantasy points per game to wide receivers.
Jahan Dotson is likely to get the first crack at filling Smith's shoes, but Wilson has the size and jump-ball skills to potentially see a couple of end-zone targets in this one. Even in a week with six teams on bye, fantasy managers will be hard-pressed to flex the 23-year-old into their lineups, but he is worth keeping an eye on heading into Sunday night.
--Ryan Larrison - RotoBallerSource: RotoBaller
3 days agoPhiladelphia Eagles wide receiver
Jahan Dotson will go on the road to face off against the Los Angeles Rams in Week 12. The 24-year-old has been a non-factor for fantasy purposes in 2024 but has the chance to step in as the No. 2 option beside superstar
A.J. Brown, as
DeVonta Smith (hamstring) has been ruled out. Dotson has just four targets over the past three weeks and is sharing playing time with rookie
Johnny Wilson, but with six teams on bye and the matchup against the Rams being great, he will be on the flex radar in Week 12. Wilson should also see his role increase, making both players incredibly risky starts, but Dotson should have a slight edge over the rookie in terms of playing time.
--Ryan Larrison - RotoBallerSource: RotoBaller
3 days agoPhiladelphia Eagles wide receiver
A.J. Brown will go on the road to take on the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday night. The 27-year-old has had great matchups over the past four weeks, but with the Eagles taking a run-heavy approach, he has failed to find the end zone since Week 7 against the New York Giants. His bad luck could turn around this week, as the Rams allow the 10th-most fantasy points per game to wide receivers this year and fellow receiver
DeVonta Smith (hamstring) has been ruled out. Neither
Jahan Dotson nor
Johnny Wilson have made a real impact this year when given the chance, so expect Brown and tight end
Dallas Goedert to see a heavy target share in a great matchup on paper.
