3 days agoSan Francisco 49ers rookie wide receiver
Ricky Pearsall faces a tough road matchup against the Green Bay Packers in Week 12. Last week Pearsall turned in a donut, failing to catch either of two targets in a loss to the Seattle Seahawks. It was particularly disappointing though, since the game before in Tampa saw Pearsall catch his first touchdown en route to a six-target, four-catch, 73-yard performance. Even if Pearsall's ceiling is enticing, last week made it clear what his floor is. To make matters worse, San Francisco will be without its starting quarterback
Brock Purdy (shoulder), and possibly left tackle Trent Williams, who is questionable with an ankle issue. Backup
Brandon Allen may well be up to the task of running the Niners' offense, but the risk is prohibitive for a player like Pearsall in fantasy. The rook is a low-end WR4 at best, with only deep-league managers considering a dart throw.

3 days agoThe Carolina Panthers defense ranks near the bottom of the league in every major statistical category this season. They are dead last in points allowed per game and rushing yards allowed per game. While the Kansas City offense hasn't been fireworks this year, quarterback
Patrick Mahomes still commands respect. And with Kansas City coming off a loss to the Buffalo Bills, the Panthers may fall victim to a motivated team set on securing the No. 1 seed in the AFC. The Panthers' DST is a no-go in Week 12, and fantasy managers can avoid them as a streaming option in all leagues.

3 days agoCarolina Panthers rookie tight end
Ja'Tavion Sanders scored the first touchdown of his short career against the New York Giants in Week 10 and will look to find the end zone again in Sunday's matchup versus the Kansas City Chiefs. Sanders also played in 88% of the team's snaps in that game, which was his highest mark of the season. The 21-year-old could lose some snaps with fellow tight end
Tommy Tremble (back), who is expected to return to action for the first time since Week 8. Similar to his rookie counterpart,
Xavier Legette, Sanders' production has been hard to predict this year. His receiving yards in his last four games have looked like this: 61, 7, 87, and eight. Much of this can be attributed to the dysfunctional nature of this 2024 Panthers' offense, but regardless, Sanders remains a risky streaming option in a tough matchup against the Chiefs.

3 days agoCarolina Panthers wide receiver Xavier Legette will look to build a rapport with second-year quarterback Bryce Young in Sunday's matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs. As is the case with many rookie wideouts, Leggette has had an up-and-down rookie season. Through 10 games, the South Carolina product has accrued 29 receptions, 284 yards, and four touchdowns. He's proven to be a reliable red-zone target and has had some major third-down receptions from Young. Facing a solid Kansas City secondary in Week 12, Legette could shoulder more responsibility with Jalen Coker (quadriceps) listed as questionable. While likely not a viable streaming option in 10-to-12-team leagues, Legette's development is something to watch in Week 12.

3 days agoCarolina Panthers running back
Chuba Hubbard will face the No. 1 ranked rush defense in the NFL in Week 12 as the Kansas City Chiefs visit the Panthers. Before a Week 11 bye, Hubbard recorded a career-high 153 rushing yards against the New York Giants in Munich, Germany. In half-PPR leagues, he's scored 20-plus in consecutive games. Hubbard versus the Kansas City defensive front is the most intriguing matchup of this game, and while it's a daunting task, he remains a good RB2 option this week. Panthers running back
Miles Sanders (ankle) has been ruled out for Week 12. However, rookie running back
Jonathon Brooks (knee) will make his NFL debut this week. Despite Brooks return, Hubbard should have plenty of volume on Sunday and is RB20 in the latest RotoBaller running back rankings.

3 days agoCarolina Panthers quarterback
Bryce Young was able to enjoy the team's Week 11 bye, as the second-year player is in the midst of the first winning streak of his career. However, with one of the best NFL defenses, the Kansas City Chiefs, coming to town, the party may already be over. While the Kansas City defense may not be as daunting as a year ago, defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo is still among the most revered coordinators in the league and is known to stunt inexperienced quarterbacks. Despite the two-game win streak, Young has remained largely irrelevant in fantasy terms with 10 and 12-point outings, respectively. He remains a low-end QB2 and an option for Superflex leagues for this tough matchup. Also worth noting is that he could be without the standout wide receiver
Jalen Coker (quadriceps), who is tagged as questionable for Week 12.

3 days agoThe New York Giants defense faces a challenging test in Week 12 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, whose offense ranks eighth in yards per game (361.5) and fifth in scoring (27.9 points per game). The Giants defense has been formidable against the pass, ranking fourth in the NFL by allowing just 184.2 passing yards per game and generating 36 sacks, the second-most in the league. However, their 29th-ranked run defense (147.1 rushing yards allowed per game) will be tested by Tampa Bay's balanced attack, which averages 125.3 yards on the ground. With a red-zone defense ranked fifth in the league (46.4% TD rate allowed), the Giants have the tools to disrupt Tampa's efficiency, making them a high-risk, high-reward streaming option this week.

3 days agoNew York Giants kicker
Graham Gano will look to bounce back in Week 12 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers after a mixed performance in Week 10 against Carolina, where he went 1-for-2 on field goals, including a clutch 42-yard game-tying kick in regulation. Gano, who has played just three games this season due to injury, has made three of four field goal attempts, including a long of 50 yards, for a 75% conversion rate. The Buccaneers' defense, ranked 30th against the pass, could allow the Giants' offense to generate scoring opportunities, giving Gano a chance to capitalize. With the Giants' offense still finding its footing (with
Tommy Devito at the helm), Gano is a risky fantasy option.

3 days agoNew York Giants tight end
Theo Johnson (back) looks to continue his steady progression in Week 12 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers after a solid Week 10 showing with four receptions on six targets for 37 yards. He was dealing with a back issue but was removed from the injury report and cleared for Sunday's game against Tampa Bay. Johnson has been quietly consistent this season, tallying 21 receptions for 238 yards and a touchdown while averaging 11.3 yards per catch and 5.08 fantasy points per game. The Buccaneers present an enticing matchup, ranking 28th against fantasy tight ends and 30th in pass defense, allowing 264.1 yards per game through the air. With Tampa struggling to contain tight ends and having given up 20 passing touchdowns this season, Johnson offers sneaky streaming appeal in deeper leagues, especially with his increased reliability in recent games.

3 days agoNew York Giants wide receiver
Wan'Dale Robinson looks to build on his team-leading performance from Week 10, where he caught five passes on eight targets for 51 yards in a narrow overtime loss to the Panthers. Robinson has been a reliable target, amassing 56 receptions on 84 targets this season with 394 receiving yards and two touchdowns, averaging 10.92 fantasy points per game. The matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers offers significant upside, as Tampa ranks 27th against fantasy WRs and has allowed 20 passing touchdowns this season. With the Buccaneers' 30th-ranked pass defense surrendering 264.1 yards per game, Robinson may be a flex option in PPR formats, especially with his consistent volume in the Giants' passing attack.

3 days agoNew York Giants running back
Tyrone Tracy Jr. enters Week 12 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers with momentum after rushing for 103 yards in Week 10 against Carolina, despite a costly fumble in overtime. Tracy has averaged 15.2 fantasy points per game since becoming the starter in Week 5, ranking as the RB22 during that span. Facing a Buccaneers defense ranked 28th against fantasy RBs and allowing 125.2 rushing yards per game (16th in the NFL), Tracy is positioned for another productive outing. His 77% snap share in Week 10 underscores his workhorse role, and with Tampa struggling to stop the run, Tracy is a solid RB2 with upside in Week 12.

3 days agoNew York Giants quarterback
Tommy Devito will make his 2024 debut in Week 12 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers following the team's Week 11 bye. DeVito inherits the starting role after the release of
Daniel Jones and steps into a favorable matchup against the league's worst defense against fantasy quarterbacks. The Buccaneers have allowed 23.08 fantasy points per game to opposing QBs (32nd in the NFL) and rank 30th against the pass, giving up 264.1 passing yards and 20 touchdowns this season. While DeVito has yet to play in 2024, his 2023 stats include eight passing TDs and 195 rushing yards in nine games, showcasing dual-threat upside. Facing a struggling Bucs defense, DeVito is a high-risk but intriguing streaming option.

3 days agoArizona Cardinals running back
Emari Demercado (shoulder) was removed from the injury report and doesn't carry a designation heading into Sunday's divisional clash with the Seahawks. The 25-year-old has been battling a shoulder injury, resulting in limited practices on Wednesday and Thursday. However, he was a full-go on Friday. Demercado has only 20 carries for 197 yards and a touchdown this season, adding 11 catches for 86 yards. With
James Conner and
Trey Benson healthy and available for Sunday's contest, Demercado likely won't get much work, so fantasy managers should keep him out of the starting lineup or off the roster altogether.
