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.

3 days agoAccording to Seattle Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald, tight end
Noah Fant (groin) is "trending well" regarding his potential availability for the Week 12 meeting with the Arizona Cardinals. The 27-year-old, who missed the Seahawks' last two games, didn't practice on Friday. But he logged a limited session on Thursday before participating in full on Friday. For now, he's questionable, although the team will update his status on Saturday. Fant has struggled throughout the 2024-25 campaign, amassing only 27 catches for 285 yards. He also hasn't found the end zone. If he plays, he's not a logical option for fantasy managers. But if Fant remains out on Sunday,
AJ Barner would presumably take his spot in the lineup. However, the rookie isn't a much safer fantasy option.

3 days agoDenver Broncos wide receiver
Courtland Sutton comes into the Week 12 divisional contest against the division-rival Las Vegas Raiders having produced at least six catches and 70 yards in each of the last four games. Since a zero-target game in Week 7 versus the New Orleans Saints, Sutton has 28 receptions on 38 targets for 370 yards and a touchdown while also throwing for a touchdown. The Raiders defense hasn't been that bad against opposing wideouts this year in terms of fantasy points allowed, but they'll be without cornerbacks Jakorian Bennett (shoulder) and Nate Hobbs (ankle) this weekend, and possibly Jack Jones (back). Sutton was held to only two catches for 32 yards in the Week 5 win over the Raiders in Denver, but we'd expect better production this time around with Denver's offense surging. In the last five weeks, Sutton has averaged 14.3 half-PPR points, good for 10th among all receivers.

3 days agoLas Vegas Raiders running back
Dylan Laube will get his second chance for backfield work for his team in Week 12. Injuries to both of the teams top-2 backs,
Zamir White (quad) and
Alexander Mattison (ankle), have left them almost certain to be held out of the contest. Laube will join lead back
Ameer Abdullah to form some kind of committee. There haven't been many helpful reports on how much work he'll get, but the team would be well-served to give him some work and see if he can bring any juice. LV's offense hasn't been good this season, and the running game has been the worst in the league statistically. Such an inefficient ground attack warrants trying out new things. Laube is worth stashing in deep, highly competitive fantasy football leagues, but too risky to start for now. His only carry this season resulted in a lost fumble.

3 days agoLas Vegas Raiders running back
Ameer Abdullah will lead his team's backfield in Week 12 against the Denver Broncos. RBs
Alexander Mattison (ankle) and
Zamir White (quad) are both designated as "Doubtful" on the Raiders' injury report, meaning they're highly unlikely to play. Abdullah had just one carry for one yard last week, but did catch three passes for 16 yards and a touchdown. It's a nightmare matchup against a great defense, though. It's hard to trust in the third-string running back on a team that's averaging 3.5 yards per carry as a whole. That's the worst mark in the league by a significant margin. He's a desperation RB3/FLEX play in deep PPR leagues, with the hope that he'll garner significant targets.

3 days agoLas Vegas Raiders wide receiver
Tre Tucker will face the divisional rival Denver Broncos again in Week 12. They held him to just two catches for 18 yards and eight rushing yards in Week 5. Denver has a stingy pass defense that smothered the second-year pro just a few short months ago. It's hard to see this playing out differently. Tucker has been on a cold streak of games, failing to log above 50 yards receiving since Week 3. He's a gadget player that gets some work in the running game, but not enough to support good fantasy production. He's a play in very deep PPR leagues, but not a tantalizing one at that. It's better to search for other options to fill your fantasy lineups, even if you have multiple players injured.

3 days agoDenver Broncos rookie running back
Audric Estime could have a decent workload in the Week 12 road tilt against the division-rival Las Vegas Raiders at Allegiant Stadium on Sunday. The Broncos have made it a point to get the rookie more involved of late, with him seeing 28 touches for 113 scrimmage yards in the last three games. While it might have been a bit premature to assume Estime would be Denver's lead back the rest of the season over
Javonte Williams after he led the backfield in the Week 10 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, it's safe to say he's now the RB2 over
Jaleel McLaughlin. Against a beat up Raiders defense that allows 22.5 half-PPR points per game to RBs this year (tied for seventh-most in the league), Estime has RB3/flex upside in a plus matchup, especially with fantasy managers needing help at RB with six teams on bye this week.

3 days agoLas Vegas Raiders kicker
Daniel Carlson has now hit on 18 of his 20 field goals this season. He's a perfect 15-for-15 on his extra points. On many teams, he'd be an elite K option in fantasy, like the 2020, 2021, and 2022 Raiders. Not so this season. He's the 17th ranked player at his position because the offense hasn't played very well. There's plenty of turmoil on that side of the ball, and LV has dealt with poor play from its quarterbacks and running backs. In addition, the team's top-2 RBs,
Zamir White (quad) and
Alexander Mattison (ankle) are both listed as "Doubtful" on the team's injury report. A depleted backfield won't help against a tough Denver Broncos defense. There's a lot of uncertainty here, so it's better to look elsewhere for placekicker options for your fantasy teams.

3 days agoThe Las Vegas Raiders defense/special teams hasn't been a startable fantasy option at any point this year and they'll face a tough test in Week 12. The Denver Broncos just obliterated the Atlanta Falcons 38-6 in Week 11. Las Vegas has fielded one of the worst defenses in the league. They rank near the bottom in plenty of metrics. They've allowed 28.5 points per game and struggled to get defensive stops. They also have the worst turnover differential by a long shot, at -15. They've generated zero fumble recoveries and are the fourth-worst squad at sacking opposing quarterbacks. They're the second-worst defense to start in fantasy football. Leave them in free agency in your leagues.

3 days agoLas Vegas Raiders tight end
Brock Bowers is in his first year of the pros, but he already looks like an elite player at his position. He might be the best TE in the NFL right now. He'll face the Denver Broncos in Week 12. They had no answer for him in Week 5, when he caught eight of his 12 targets for 97 yards and a touchdown. That was his best game for fantasy football of the season... until last week, when he caught 13 of 16 targets for 126 yards and a touchdown. He was considered to be one of the best tight end prospects in NFL Draft history, and he's easily living up to those expectations. Start him in every league every week he plays without blinking an eye. He could be a league-winner.

3 days agoLas Vegas Raiders quarterback
Gardner Minshew II could be in for his last rodeo in Week 12. His team will take on the Denver Broncos, and QB
Aidan O'Connell (thumb) won't be able to play. He's still recovering from a thumb injury. Minshew will have his hands full with a Denver Broncos defense that just held
Kirk Cousins and the Atlanta Falcons to six points in a Week 11 blowout game. The 28-year old Raiders signal-caller has thrown eight touchdowns, but tossed nine interceptions and lost a fumble this season. It could be an ugly game, and it's hard to trust him in 1QB leagues. He should be started in 2QB/Superflex leagues, though. He's not always been bad, just wildly inconsistent. Garbage time production counts for fantasy points, too.

3 days agoLas Vegas Raiders wide receiver
Jakobi Meyers will face a tough coverage test when his team takes on the divisional-rival Denver Broncos in Week 12. Broncos cornerback Patrick Surtain II has been lockdown this season, though Meyers did just fine in their last matchup in Week 5, catching six of nine targets for 72 yards. He may need to rely on garbage time again to produce well, though, and possibly stay away from Surtain, though that might not happen. The Broncos just dominated the Atlanta Falcons 38-6 in Week 11. The star corner held receiver
Drake London to three catches for 61 yards in that game, despite the plethora of garbage time. Meyers is a risky WR3/flex in PPR leagues for this matchup with limited upside.
