3 days agoThe Kansas City Chiefs defense will take on the Carolina Panthers in Week 12. The Chiefs defense gave up more than 25 points and finished a game without a sack for the first time this season in last week's loss to the Buffalo Bills. Kansas City will look to bounce back this week against the Panthers, who have scored the third-fewest points this season. Behind defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo, the Chiefs defense should be more than capable of shutting down the Carolina offense. The Kansas City defense is ranked as the third-best defense in our RotoBaller rankings, making them a strong start this week. Fantasy managers should start the Chiefs defense confidently in this matchup.Source: Charles Goldman - Twitter
3 days agoKansas City Chiefs kicker Spencer Shrader will face the Carolina Panthers in Week 12. Shrader was acquired by the team in the wake of Harrison Butker's injury and started as the placekicker for the team in last week's loss. The 25-year-old kicker out of Notre Dame nailed all three extra-point attempts and did not attempt a field goal in Week 11. The Chiefs are favorites in this week's matchup against the Panthers, which bodes well for Shrader's opportunities to score. If the Chiefs dominate the Panthers in this contest, there should be plenty of extra-point attempts and field goals to kick. Shrader will look to continue his streak of made kicks for his new team this week. The Chiefs kicker is ranked as the 11th-best kicker in our RotoBaller rankings this week, meaning fantasy managers will likely have better options to turn to. That said, Shrader should be a decent bye-week replacement kicker.Source: Lindsey Moppert - Twitter
3 days agoLos Angeles Rams running back Blake Corum had plenty of hype entering the 2024-25 campaign, considering head coach Sean McVay made it seem the rookie would have a routine role in the offense. Unfortunately, that hasn't happened, with the 2024 No. 83 overall pick accumulating only 28 carries for 101 yards in 10 games this season. Without a doubt, Kyren Williams is the top option out of the backfield, so unless he goes down with an injury, Corum has no business in any fantasy lineup, including for the Rams' Sunday Night Football clash with the Philadelphia Eagles.Source: ESPN

3 days agoLos Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp had six catches for 106 yards and two touchdowns in the Week 11 win over the New England Patriots. The wideout suffered an ankle injury in the Week 2 loss to the Arizona Cardinals. Fortunately, he was back on the field for the Thursday night meeting with the Vikings back in October. Since then, Kupp has played well, amassing 29 receptions and three trips to the end zone in the last four games. Despite a tough matchup with the Eagles defense on tap for Week 12, Kupp remains a welcome addition to any fantasy lineup.Source: ESPN
3 days agoKansas City Chiefs wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins will take on the Carolina Panthers in Week 12. Hopkins had limited success in last week's 21-30 loss to the Buffalo Bills. The veteran receiver reeled in three catches for 29 yards in the team's first loss of the season. Hopkins will be in a more favorable matchup this week against the Panthers, who rank 12th in fantasy points allowed to opposing wide receivers this season. The Panthers defense is much more beatable than their fantasy points allowed would suggest since most teams do not need to pass very much against them. Hopkins should be capable of producing a great fantasy performance in this week's matchup. The 32-year-old is ranked WR23 in our RotoBaller Half-PPR rankings this week, making him a low-end WR2/WR3 option against the Panthers. Fantasy managers should feel confident starting Hopkins in this matchup despite his inconsistent usage.Source: Kansas City Chiefs - Twitter
3 days agoLos Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua had a team-high seven catches for 123 yards in the win over the Pats in Week 11. He also scored a touchdown, his first of the 2024-25 campaign. Without question, the 23-year-old is one of the best wideouts in the National Football League. Fortunately, he appears to be back to full-strength after missing time this season because of a knee injury. With 16 catches in the Rams' previous two contests, there's no reason to keep Nacua out of any fantasy lineup, even with a difficult Eagles defense up ahead.Source: ESPN
3 days agoKansas City Chiefs running back Kareem Hunt will take on the Carolina Panthers in Week 12. Hunt was on the injury report with a knee injury but practiced fully all week and has no injury designation heading into this week's matchup. Hunt had a poor showing in last week's 21-30 loss to the Buffalo Bills. Hunt had 14 carries for 60 yards and no touchdowns in the contest. The 29-year-old will now face the Carolina Panthers, who rank 32nd in fantasy points allowed to opposing running backs this season. Hunt's role as the lead back will continue for at least one more week, with Isiah Pacheco ruled out for this game. The veteran running back is ranked RB8 in our RotoBaller Half-PPR rankings this week, making him a strong RB1 option. Fantasy managers should be excited to start Hunt this week.Source: Kansas City Chiefs - Twitter
3 days agoKansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce will take on the Carolina Panthers in Week 12. Kelce is coming off a poor performance in the team's first loss of the season against the Buffalo Bills. The veteran tight end caught two passes for eight yards in the 21-30 loss last week. Kelce will look to bounce back from that lackluster performance against the Panthers, who rank 31st in fantasy points allowed to opposing tight ends this season. The 35-year-old has been one of the most valuable tight ends in fantasy football since Rashee Rice's injury, with only two dud games since Week 3. Kelce is ranked TE3 in our RotoBaller Half-PPR rankings this week, making him a top-tier TE1 option. Fantasy managers should continue to start him confidently.Source: Kansas City Chiefs - Twitter
3 days agoLos Angeles Rams running back Kyren Williams has had a terrific season. He began the 2024-25 campaign by finding the end zone at least once in the Rams' first seven contests. However, the 24-year-old hasn't scored a touchdown in his last three appearances. Granted, with Puka Nacua and Cooper Kupp missing time this season, Williams had to be more involved. With that in mind, he's due to get back on track at some point. Until then, fantasy managers need to stay patient and keep him starting despite a challenging matchup with the Philadelphia Eagles on the horizon for Week 12.Source: ESPN
3 days agoKansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes will take on the Carolina Panthers in Week 12. The 29-year-old is coming off the team's first loss of the season and looking to bounce back. Mahomes threw for 196 yards and three touchdowns in the contest but coughed up the ball with two interceptions. The Chiefs quarterback has underperformed his fantasy expectations this season, but the Panthers will be a good spot for him to right the ship. The Panthers rank 26th in fantasy points allowed to opposing quarterbacks this season, so Mahomes will have one of the most favorable matchups at the position. Mahomes is ranked QB8 in our RotoBaller rankings this week, making him a low-end QB1 option for fantasy. Given his favorable matchup, fantasy managers can feel more confident about starting Mahomes this week.Source: Buffalo Sports Talk - Twitter
3 days agoLos Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford had a rough start to the 2024-25 campaign. But in all fairness, the signal-caller was without Cooper Kupp and Puka Nacua for a portion of the season. However, with the duo back on the field, Stafford has thrown 10 touchdowns in his last four games. With the Rams still fighting to keep their playoff hopes alive, Los Angeles will host Philadelphia for Sunday Night Football. The Eagles defense has played well all year, allowing only 17.9 points per game, the sixth-best mark in the National Football League. Still, with Joe Burrow, Josh Allen, and Kirk Cousins getting the week off, Stafford deserves some consideration for a spot in any fantasy lineup, even with a tough matchup on tap.Source: ESPN
