3 days agoAfter being dropped by many fantasy managers following Week 10, Denver Broncos running back
Javonte Williams is firmly back in the RB3/flex mix for an upcoming matchup against the division-rival Las Vegas Raiders on the road in Week 12. Williams had only three touches and saw rookie
Audric Estime take over the backfield in Week 10 against the Kansas City Chiefs, but Williams returned to lead-back duties in last week's blowout win over the Atlanta Falcons, carrying the ball nine times for 59 yards and a touchdown while adding four catches for 28 yards. Estime isn't going away, but the 24-year-old Williams' demise was premature. As long as he can be efficient, Williams could produce nicely as an RB3/flex this weekend against a banged-up Raiders defense that has been a top-10 matchup in fantasy this year for opposing RBs.

4 days agoLos Angeles Chargers outside linebackers Khalil Mack (groin), Joey Bosa (hip), and safety Derwin James Jr. (groin) were all listed as limited practice participants for the second straight day on Friday. Bosa and Mack were both on the team's Week 11 injury report. While the former suited up for LA's victory over the Cincinnati Bengals, the latter did not and only played four snaps the week prior. James Jr., however, is a new addition to this week's injury report after playing 100% of the team's defensive snaps for the seventh time this season. They'll each have another opportunity to elevate their practice participation before the Chargers must designate their status ahead of the Har-bowl (their matchup against the Baltimore Ravens). With five total defensive players currently on their injury report, Los Angeles could be heading into the battle of the brothers short-staffed. Keep an eye on them over the next 24 hours.

4 days agoPhiladelphia Eagles running back
Saquon Barkley will go on the road to take on the Los Angeles Rams in Week 12. The 27-year-old tallied nearly 200 total yards against the Washington Commanders last week and found the end zone twice. Washington was a solid matchup heading into last week, but the Rams present a bit more of a challenge. Los Angeles has allowed just six rushing touchdowns this year and they allow the 11th-fewest fantasy points per game. With that said, the Eagles are without wide receiver
DeVonta Smith and have been the run-heaviest offense in the NFL as of late. Barkley is matchup-proof and is a no-brainer must-start in Week 12.

4 days agoDetroit Lions running back
David Montgomery heads into a favorable Week 12 matchup against the Indianapolis Colts, fresh off a two-touchdown performance in Week 11. Montgomery rushed 15 times for 75 yards and two scores while adding 20 yards on three receptions in Detroit's dominant 52-6 win over the Jaguars. With 10 touchdowns in 10 games, Montgomery remains the Lions' primary red-zone option, ranking ninth in red-zone touches and fourth in total touchdowns this season. Montgomery has been one of the most consistent backs in fantasy, finishing outside the top 24 just once this year. The Colts rank 28th against the run, allowing the sixth-most rushing yards per game and the second-most yards after contact per attempt. Expect Montgomery to capitalize on a positive game script and deliver another reliable performance for fantasy managers in Week 12.

4 days agoMiami Dolphins running back
Alec Ingold (calf) has been designated as questionable for the team's matchup against the New England Patriots this Sunday. It's the third consecutive week the sixth-year veteran has been given the questionable tag. Despite logging three limited practice sessions in Weeks 10 and 11, Ingold was ultimately inactive for the ensuing two contests. Miami hopes history doesn't repeat itself, as he was yet again limited all week leading up to their Week 12 home tilt. Last Sunday, the Dolphins compensated for the loss of Ingold by deploying tight ends
Jonnu Smith and
Julian Hill more frequently, and they may do so again if the veteran is forced to miss another game.

4 days agoNew England Patriots defensive back Christian Gonzalez (hip) is officially questionable for Sunday's road tilt against the Miami Dolphins. The 22-year-old was a late addition to the Patriots' injury report with a hip ailment, putting his status for Sunday's divisional clash in doubt. The second-year corner has yet to miss a contest this season and currently leads the team in passes defensed. Safeties Marte Mapu (neck) and Kyle Dugger (ankle) are also questionable for the contest after they were both limited practice participants this week with their respective injuries. In total, New England has seven defensive players designated as questionable, so they could be in danger of being severely depleted against a Dolphins team that appears to be finding its legs offensively. If Gonzalez can't play, fellow DB Alex Austin projects to pick up the slack in New England's defensive backfield.

4 days agoIndianapolis Colts wide receiver
Adonai Mitchell made a splash in Week 10 without
Michael Pittman Jr. (six catches, 71 yards) but reverted to his status as the No. 4 receiver in Week 11 (one catch, 33 yards) and will assume that role again in Week 12 with a fully healthy receiving corps. The 22-year-old has speed and uses it for deep targets, sitting just outside the top 10 WRs in aDOT (14.2). However, without volume and with a notoriously inaccurate QB, the former second-round draft pick makes for a very risky fantasy play. If you're looking for a reason to use him, there is a strong possibility that as seven-point underdogs, the Colts will be trying to keep pace with the Lions for the entire game, which could mean a few additional deep targets for the rookie wideout. The product out of the University of Texas is a WR5/6 dart throw, even in a week with six teams on bye.

4 days agoChicago Bears offensive lineman Ryan Bates (concussion) has officially been ruled out for the team's home divisional clash against the Minnesota Vikings. Bates sustained a concussion in Chicago's 20-19 loss to the Green Bay Packers last Sunday. Unfortunately, the 27-year-old could not log even a limited session during this week's string of practices. The veteran has appeared in just three games this season while battling through elbow and shoulder injuries, and he'll now miss at least one more after not progressing through the league's concussion protocol. With Chicago also playing on Thanksgiving Day, he could be in danger of missing yet another contest. In his stead, teammate Teven Jenkins projects to hold down the Bears' left guard spot.
--Alex CiullaSource: Chicago Bears
4 days agoDetroit Lions wide receiver
Amon-Ra St. Brown heads into a Week 12 matchup against the Indianapolis Colts as one of the most reliable WR1 options in fantasy football. St. Brown is coming off an elite performance in Week 11, catching all 11 targets for 161 yards and two touchdowns, extending his touchdown streak to eight consecutive games. He ranks as the WR2 on the season, trailing only
Ja'Marr Chase in fantasy points. St. Brown has exceeded 100 receiving yards in three games this season and thrives against zone defenses like the Colts, who rank 26th against the pass. Fantasy managers should continue to trust him as an elite WR1 option.

4 days agoIndianapolis Colts wide receiver
Alec Pierce owns the largest percentage of his team's air yards (28.15%), but not only that, he leads the entire NFL in average depth of target (21.25) -- and it isn't even close. The downside for him is that he's received just four targets or less in eight of 11 contests. On the bright side, the 24-year-old usually makes the most of it, leading his team in reception yards (although
Josh Downs is not far behind despite playing two fewer games) while recording a 30-plus yard reception in five of 11 weeks. Pierce figures to earn his usual share of deep shots in Week 12's matchup against the Lions, especially if the Colts -- who are seven-point underdogs -- find themselves trailing late in the game. The former second-round draft pick ranks in the WR5 range this week, but with his four TDs on the season, the third-year pro does possess some upside.

4 days agoDetroit Lions running back
Jahmyr Gibbs heads into Week 12 against the Indianapolis Colts as a consistent RB1 option for fantasy managers. Gibbs has been electric, finishing as the RB6 last week after turning 12 touches into 123 total yards and a touchdown. He's a Top-6 RB in total fantasy points this season and ranks fifth in rushing yards, demonstrating his ability to maximize his opportunities. The Colts present a favorable matchup, ranking 28th against the run while allowing the sixth-most rushing yards per game and the second-most rushing attempts. Gibbs has scored five touchdowns in his last five games and surpassed 100 scrimmage yards six times this season. Working in tandem with
David Montgomery, Gibbs remains a dynamic playmaker and should be locked in as an RB1 for Week 12.

4 days agoDetroit Lions quarterback
Jared Goff heads into Week 12 against the Indianapolis Colts riding high after his best performance of the season last week. Goff ranks among the league's best in key metrics, leading all quarterbacks in yards per attempt while sitting second in passer rating and fifth in CPOE. The Colts defense has shown improvement recently but remains vulnerable, allowing the ninth-most completions and eighth-most passing yards per game to opposing quarterbacks. While Indy has tightened up since Week 6, Goff's efficiency and the Lions' offensive weapons should keep him in the mix as a solid QB1 option. With Detroit's potent scoring offense averaging 31.6 points per game, Goff is poised to remain productive for fantasy managers again in Week 12.
