5 days agoKansas City Chiefs tight end
Travis Kelce caught two passes for eight yards in the 21-30 loss to the Buffalo Bills. The Chiefs were handed their first loss of the season, and Kelce was the target on the game-ending interception. The veteran tight end finished the game with just four targets against the stingy Buffalo defense. Despite being the focal point of the Kansas City passing attack every week, Kelce was held in check in this contest. The 35-year-old will look to bounce back in a favorable matchup against the Carolina Panthers next week. The Panthers rank 32nd in fantasy points allowed to opposing tight ends this season, so Kelce should have his way against them. Despite this underwhelming performance, Kelce should still be considered a top-tier tight-end option for the rest of the season.

5 days agoLos Angeles Rams wide receiver
Puka Nacua looked great in Sunday's victory over the New England Patriots. The wideout finished Week 11 by leading his team on the receiving end, pulling in seven of his nine targets for 123 yards. He also finally found the end zone, catching a 12-yard toss from
Matthew Stafford in the second quarter. With Nacua coming off his second 100-yard outing this season, he'll look to keep it going against a tough Eagles defense in a Sunday Night Football meeting between the clubs.

5 days agoKansas City Chiefs quarterback
Patrick Mahomes completed 23 of 33 pass attempts (70%) for 196 yards and three touchdowns in the 21-30 loss to the Buffalo Bills. Mahomes passed for under 200 yards in this contest but made up for it with three passing scores for the second time this season. Mahomes also threw multiple interceptions for the third time this season, including a game-ending pick in the final minutes of the fourth quarter. The Chiefs quarterback also finished the game with zero rushing yards for the first time this season. Mahomes has continued to be a disappointing fantasy asset, especially in the team's last two games with tough matchups. The veteran quarterback will look to bounce back from the team's first loss next week against the Carolina Panthers, who rank 27th in fantasy points allowed to opposing quarterbacks this season. Mahomes will likely be ranked as a low-end QB1 next week, with one of the most favorable matchups for quarterbacks.

5 days agoIndianapolis Colts quarterback
Anthony Richardson put himself back on the fantasy map on Sunday, totaling three TDs -- one via pass and two via rush -- in a tight 28-27 win over the Jets. Coming into the game with a 44.4% completion rate, the 22-year-old completed 20 of 30 pass attempts (66.7%) for 272 yards and a touchdown. While it was an improvement for sure, especially given that he did not throw an interception, it wasn't pretty at times and the former first-round draft pick fumbled twice, losing one of them. The 6-foot-4 signal-caller added 10 rushes for 32 yards and two scores, finishing the day well within the top 10 at the position in fantasy scoring. The Colts and Richardson will have a tough matchup at home next week against the Lions, but it may be fruitful for fantasy if they are playing from behind all day.

5 days agoMilwaukee Bucks forward
Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) is listed as probable ahead of Monday's game against the Houston Rockets. The superstar forward continues to appear on the injury report, but he has only missed one game this season. Fantasy managers should expect to have Antetokounmpo unless he suffers a setback during warmups. If he sits,
Bobby Portis would see an increased role and would have strong streaming appeal without the two-time MVP on the court.
--Andy Webb - RotoBallerSource: Milwaukee Bucks
5 days agoLos Angeles Rams running back
Kyren Williams had 86 yards off 15 carries in Sunday's win over the Patriots. It wasn't a horrible showing from the 24-year-old. However, after Williams found the end zone in seven consecutive games this season, he hasn't scored in any of the Rams' previous three contests. While the team leaned on him more while
Puka Nacua and
Cooper Kupp were on the shelf, fantasy managers are hoping he'll get back on track versus the Eagles in Week 12, a team that has played well against the run all year.
--Dennis Clausen - RotoBallerSource: ESPN
5 days agoMilwaukee Bucks guard
Damian Lillard (concussion) is listed as probable ahead of Monday's game against the Houston Rockets. It looks like Lillard is on the verge of returning after missing each of the last three games while in concussion protocol.
Delon Wright has been starting with Lillard out, but he hasn't done much with the increased playing time. He's a solid defensive player, but doesn't bring much to the table on offense. That being said, Wright won't be worth streaming once Lillard returns to the court. Fantasy managers should check back before tip-off, but Lillard should be good to go for Monday.
--Andy Webb - RotoBallerSource: Milwaukee Bucks
5 days agoPhiladelphia 76ers center
Joel Embiid (illness) is currently listed as questionable ahead of Monday's game against the Miami Heat. The superstar center is back on the injury report after only playing two games this season. Luckily, this sounds like a minor issue, so it should only cost Embiid one game at most. If he sits,
Andre Drummond would move into the starting lineup while
Guerschon Yabusele would see additional playing time off the bench. Drummond would be an interesting streaming option without Embiid on the court. He's a strong rebounder and has been a decent contributor with the Sixers shorthanded lately.

5 days agoLos Angeles Chargers wide receiver
DJ Chark and tight end
Hayden Hurst won't play in Sunday night's game against the Cincinnati Bengals. Both players are healthy. However, with receivers
Joshua Palmer,
Quentin Johnston,
Ladd McConkey, and tight end
Will Dissly all active, the move was made to give Hurst and Chark the night off. But considering Hurst has only seven catches and Chark doesn't have any this season, their absences won't have much of an impact on fantasy managers.
--Dennis Clausen - RotoBallerSource: Kris Rhim
5 days agoCincinnati Bengals defensive end Trey Hendrickson (neck, personal) will play on Sunday night against the Chargers. The 29-year-old was listed as questionable after missing practice on Thursday and Friday. But it's certainly good news for Cincinnati, considering the Bengals defense has struggled, allowing 26.2 points per game throughout the 2024-25 campaign.
--Dennis Clausen - RotoBallerSource: Cincinnati Bengals
5 days agoMiami Dolphins wide receiver
Jaylen Waddle caught two of three targets for 37 yards in the 34-19 win over the Las Vegas Raiders. He once again had an underwhelming performance, a constant theme this season. Miami has not thrown the ball down the field as much in 2024, severely hurting Waddle's ceiling. This marks the eighth time this season that he has failed to top 50 receiving yards in a game, and the ninth time he's been under 10 PPR fantasy points. At this point in the season, it's safe to say he is unstartable unless proven otherwise. It's hard to expect Miami's offense to turn away from this formula of winning with such little margin for error the rest of the season. Waddle will try to bounce back in Week 12 vs. a suspect New England Patriots defense.
--Jake Walker - RotoBallerSource: NFL
5 days agoUtah Jazz center
Walker Kessler (hip) will remain on the shelf for Sunday's clash with the Clippers. He continues to nurse a hip problem. With him out, the stage is set for
John Collins to go off for another big game. He's notched 24.3 points, 9.0 rebounds, and 2.7 steals since replacing Kessler in the starting unit. Rookie
Kyle Filipowski has also stepped up recently and deserves attention from fantasy managers. He has averaged 13.7 points and 6.7 rebounds in the games Kessler has missed.
--Taavi Pailk - RotoBallerSource: NBA Injury Report
5 days agoLos Angeles Chargers linebacker Khalil Mack (groin) won't play in Sunday night's matchup versus the Cincinnati Bengals. The 33-year-old didn't practice on Friday and was listed as questionable heading into Week 11. While Mack isn't nearly as productive as he was last season, it's still a tough blow for the Chargers, especially with a challenging matchup on the horizon against
Joe Burrow,
Ja'Marr Chase, and
Tee Higgins.

5 days agoThe Green Bay Packers' defense and special teams' unit was solid in their 20-19 victory over the Chicago Bears in Week 11. The Packers sacked Bears quarterback
Caleb Williams three times on the afternoon and allowed 19 points on offense, but Green Bay did not force an interception or fumble on the afternoon. Green Bay did their best work in the game's final play, as Packers' defender Karl Brooks blocked the game-winning field goal attempt from
Cairo Santos. With the San Francisco 49ers coming to town in Week 12, the Packers D/ST is an incredibly risky starting unit in fantasy, given the strength of the 49ers' offense.
--Kevin Tompkins - RotoBallerSource: ESPN
5 days agoNew York Knicks guard
Miles McBride (knee) will miss a second consecutive game on Sunday versus Brooklyn. McBride has been the first guy off the bench behind the Knicks' stacked starting five this season, averaging 10.7 points and 2.5 assists in 26.4 minutes. With him out of the rotation,
Cameron Payne and
Pacome Dadiet have a chance to see extra action, but neither player is a good fantasy option. The Knicks starters will likely be in for another busy night as well -- three of them logged 39-plus minutes against the Nets on Friday.
--Taavi Pailk - RotoBallerSource: Barbara Parker
5 days agoLos Angeles Rams quarterback
Matthew Stafford had one of his best games of the 2024-25 campaign in the Week 11 win over the Patriots. The signal-caller threw for 295 yards off 18-for-27 passing. He also tossed four touchdown passes, with
Puka Nacua and
Cooper Kupp pulling in three of them. Stafford had only three touchdowns in his first six games of the season. But in all fairness, Nacua and Kupp spent time on the shelf. With Stafford throwing 10 touchdowns in the Rams' previous four contests, he deserves starting fantasy consideration for the Sunday night showdown with the Eagles in Week 12, especially since
Josh Allen,
Joe Burrow,
Kirk Cousins, and
Aaron Rodgers will have the week off.
--Dennis Clausen - RotoBallerSource: ESPN
5 days agoNew York Knicks center
Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) will play against Brooklyn on Sunday. A knee contusion kept him off the floor against the Nets on Friday, but Towns makes a quick return. The Knicks' new star center had 46 points against Chicago in his last outing and has hit the 30-point mark four times in his most recent five appearances. He's in a great position to do a lot of damage again on Sunday, as Brooklyn is missing
Nicolas Claxton (back) and hasn't done very well defensively against opposing centers.
Jericho Sims lands back on the bench with Towns' return.
--Taavi Pailk - RotoBallerSource: Barbara Parker
5 days agoSan Francisco 49ers defensive end Nick Bosa (hip) is questionable to return to Sunday's divisional clash with the Seattle Seahawks. The 27-year-old carried a questionable designation heading into this contest. However, he was still a force on the defensive end, totaling four tackles and 1.5 sacks. With the game closer than most anticipated, the Niners would love to see Bosa back on the field. If not, there's a good chance he'll miss practice time leading up to the Week 12 matchup against the Green Bay Packers.
--Dennis Clausen - RotoBallerSource: Michael-Shawn Dugar
5 days agoGreen Bay Packers tight end
Tucker Kraft was a non-factor in the Packers' 20-19 victory over the Chicago Bears in Week 11. Kraft only earned just one target, a short target that was intercepted by Chicago's Terell Smith in the second quarter. The lack of involvement was felt in the Packers' passing attack which only had 17 pass attempts through the entire game. With the number of quality pass-catching options available for quarterback
Jordan Love, there will be games like this by Kraft. With the Packers heading back home to host the San Francisco 49ers in Week 12, Kraft should be considered a low-end TE1 for fantasy football.
--Kevin Tompkins - RotoBallerSource: ESPN
5 days agoHouston Rockets guard/forward
Amen Thompson (quadriceps) has received the all-clear to play on Sunday versus Chicago. He injured his quadriceps against the Clippers on Friday and was initially regarded as questionable for Sunday's action. Thompson's availability is great news for the Rockets, as the 21-year-old has played great this month, averaging 12.9 points, 7.8 rebounds, 2.5 assists, and 1.5 steals. Thompson continues to come off the bench for Houston but has plenty to offer for fantasy managers. He also finds himself in a nice fantasy matchup on Sunday, as the Bulls lead the league in pace.
--Taavi Pailk - RotoBallerSource: Jonathan Feigen
5 days agoAtlanta Falcons wide receiver
Darnell Mooney (hamstring) is questionable to return to Sunday's matchup with the Denver Broncos. The wideout entered Week 11 with a Achilles injury but was removed from the injury report. However, he hasn't done much to benefit fantasy managers despite his availability, catching just two passes for 27 yards. If the hamstring injury keeps him off the field for the remainder of Week 11,
Kirk Cousins will likely lean more on
Drake London,
Ray-Ray McCloud III, and
Kyle Pitts, with
Bijan Robinson in line for more targets out of the backfield.
--Dennis Clausen - RotoBallerSource: Tori McElhaney
5 days agoDallas Mavericks point guard
Luka Doncic (knee) will miss Sunday's matchup against Oklahoma City. The Mavericks superstar has been dealing with a knee injury all week and will give it some rest on Sunday.
Quentin Grimes will come into the starting unit as his replacement. Grimes is a good three-point shooter and amassed 15 points, four rebounds, five assists, and one steal in his first start of the campaign.
Jaden Hardy and
Spencer Dinwiddie might receive more action as well on Sunday, while
Kyrie Irving gets a usage boost with Doncic's absence.
--Taavi Pailk - RotoBallerSource: NBA Injury Report
5 days agoGreen Bay Packers wide receiver
Romeo Doubs was very quiet in the Packers' 20-19 victory over the Chicago Bears in Week 11. Doubs only earned two targets and reeled in just one of them for 17 yards receiving. Taking a backseat in the production department to fellow wide receiver
Christian Watson and running back
Josh Jacobs, Doubs typically runs the most routes on the team, but with so many pass-catching options in the offense plus quarterback
Jordan Love only notching 17 pass attempts, some players get a bit lost in the shuffle at times. In the Packers' next game in Week 12 against the San Francisco 49ers, Doubs is more of a low-end flex play for fantasy because of his inconsistency.
--Kevin Tompkins - RotoBallerSource: ESPN
5 days agoMinnesota Vikings tight end
T.J. Hockenson brought in 2-of-3 targets for 13 yards in the team's 23-13 victory over the Tennessee Titans in Week 11. It's a discouraging effort for the 27-year-old just one week after he registered eight receptions and 72 yards and was seemingly becoming more involved in the offense. However, Tennessee has been sound against opposing passing attacks all season, so we may chalk this one up to a poor matchup. Still, seeing Hockenson garner a bit more work would have been nice. If it's any consolation, the former first-round pick did match fellow TE
Josh Oliver for the second-most targets on the team behind wideouts
Jordan Addison and
Justin Jefferson, who each collected eight. The former Iowa Hawkeye will get a slightly softer matchup next weekend when Minnesota lines up against the Chicago Bears on the road at Soldier Field.
--Alex CiullaSource: ESPN
5 days agoGreen Bay Packers wide receiver
Christian Watson had a career day as the Packers edged the Chicago Bears 20-19 at Soldier Field in Week 11. Watson had the biggest yardage day of his young career as he caught all four of his targets for 150 receiving yards. Watson's Week 11 was capped off by a huge 60-yard reception that led to the go-ahead touchdown plunge from quarterback
Jordan Love. Even with Watson's huge day, he's still a bit hard to trust knowing that he could just go back to meager production with so many pass-catching options in Green Bay. In the Packers' next matchup against the San Francisco 49ers in Week 12, Watson is a boom-or-bust flex option for fantasy managers.
--Kevin Tompkins - RotoBallerSource: ESPN
5 days agoPittsburgh Steelers tight end
Pat Freiermuth logged two receptions for 14 yards on two targets in an 18-16 victory over the Baltimore Ravens. Freiermuth, who found the end zone last week, continued to have a limited role in the Steelers' offense led by quarterback
Russell Wilson. He gained fewer than 20 yards for a third straight game and ceded four opportunities to second-year tight end
Darnell Washington. Fantasy managers who drafted Freiermuth likely aren't still relying on him at this point in the season. He can be dropped in most redraft formats and should not be viewed as a viable option against the Cleveland Browns in Week 12.
--Jorden Hill - RotoBallerSource: ESPN
5 days agoGreen Bay Packers running back
Josh Jacobs put up a excellent day en route to the Packers squeaking by the Chicago Bears 20-19 in Week 11. On the ground, Jacobs paced the Packers with 76 yards plus a seven-yard touchdown run in the third quarter. Jacobs not only paced the Packers in the rushing department, but also led the team in targets (5) and was second on the team with 58 receiving yards on the afternoon. With Jacobs' prowess on the ground and through the air, he should be looked at as a low-end fantasy RB1 for the Packers' next test against the San Francisco 49ers in Week 12.
--Kevin Tompkins - RotoBallerSource: ESPN
5 days agoPittsburgh Steelers running back
Jaylen Warren handled nine carries for 41 yards and caught all four of his targets for 27 yards in a Week 11 win over the Baltimore Ravens. Warren was given double-digit touches for a fourth consecutive game but still failed to make much of an impact for fantasy purposes. Although he did earn a season-high of four opportunities through the air, he was out-targeted and outgained by
Najee Harris in the passing game. Warren is yet to score a touchdown in 2024 and will likely continue to offer limited upside so long as Harris stays healthy. He can be stashed as a handcuff but should remain out of starting lineups in most formats heading into a Week 12 meeting with the Cleveland Browns.
--Jorden Hill - RotoBallerSource: ESPN
5 days agoBaltimore Ravens running back
Justice Hill wasn't able to put together much of a fantasy-relevant week against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday. The pass-catching specialist registered two carries for 13 yards and caught four of his seven targets for 28 yards. He would have had one more catch for a good chunk of yards, but the Steelers took the ball right from his hands for an interception. Hill has only posted two relevant weeks so far this season, but he'll try to get going against the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 12.
--Alex Fischbein - RotoBallerSource: ESPN
5 days agoDetroit Red Wings center Michael Rasmussen (upper body) might make a quick return to the lineup. He missed his first game of the season on Saturday versus Los Angeles, but Red Wings head coach Derek Lalonde hopes to have him available again on Monday against San Jose. The same applies to defenseman Simon Edvinsson (lower body). Rasmussen leads the Red Wings forwards with 30 hits and has logged four points (two goals, two assists) across 16 games. Tyler Motte took his place in the lineup on Saturday. He will likely head back to the press box if Rasmussen is ready to return on Monday.
