5 hours agoTampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles said that quarterback
Baker Mayfield (neck) is "good" after he suffered a stinger late in the 30-7 victory over the New York Giants on Sunday in Week 12. Mayfield's neck injury isn't expected to impact him moving forward as the team prepares to face the division-rival Carolina Panthers in Week 13. Injury aside, the 29-year-old veteran was impressive in the win over the G-Men, going 24-for-30 for 294 yards with no TDs or interceptions. He added four carries for 29 yards and a highlight-reel touchdown run. On the negative side, Mayfield fumbled twice and lost one. It helped that Mayfield got his top target back in receiver
Mike Evans, who he connected with five times for 68 yards. With Evans back and with another nice matchup against Carolina this upcoming weekend, Mayfield should be on the map as a low-end QB1 in fantasy.

5 hours agoSeattle Seahawks running back
Zach Charbonnet continued in his low-volume backup role in the Week 12 victory over the division-rival Arizona Cardinals on Sunday, carrying the ball six times for 22 yards (3.7 yards per carry) while not being targeted in the passing game for the first time all year. Charbonnet has only had double-digit carries twice (back in Weeks 2 and 3) when he was the starter in place of the injured
Kenneth Walker III. The 23-year-old's six carries against Arizona represented his highest carry total since Week 7, but it wasn't enough to give him any kind of standalone fantasy value, even in a good matchup against a shaky Cardinals run defense. Charbonnet has been inefficient in his second NFL season (3.4 yards per carry) and will only return to fantasy relevance if Walker misses more time with injury down the stretch.

5 hours agoJacksonville Jaguars head coach Doug Pederson said that quarterback
Trevor Lawrence (shoulder) will practice on Monday to give the team an idea where he's at coming off the bye week. An AC joint sprain in his left (non-throwing) shoulder has kept Lawrence out for the team's last two games, but the 25-year-old could be making enough progress to give him a shot to return for the Week 13 contest on Sunday against the division-rival Houston Texans. Lawrence's status for the upcoming weekend will all depend on how he looks and feels as he ramps up his throwing in practices. He's expected to need surgery eventually, but the Jaguars are hoping to put that off until the postseason. Lawrence returning under center would make all of Jacksonville's offensive skill players more interesting from a fantasy perspective. If Lawrence is inactive again in Week 13, expect
Mac Jones to make his third straight start.

5 hours agoNew York Giants head coach Brian Daboll said after the Week 12 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday that quarterback
Tommy Devito will make the start in Week 13 on Thanksgiving on Thursday against the division-rival Dallas Cowboys "if he's healthy." DeVito got the wind knocked out of him on the final drive of the game in the fourth quarter and left for a play before coming back in. After returning, he took another big hit and didn't look great leaving the stadium. The 26-year-old signal-caller probably won't do much in practice from Monday through Wednesday, but we'd expect him to be out there against Dallas after going 21-for-31 for 189 yards with no TDs or interceptions in the 30-7 blowout loss to the Bucs. Dallas' defense has been disappointing in 2024, but they put up a spirited effort in the upset win over Washington on Sunday. DeVito will remain a desperation QB2 in superflex leagues if he plays.

6 hours agoArizona Cardinals wide receiver
Marvin Harrison Jr. seemed to have increased activity, despite what the stat sheet said, in the 16-6 loss to the Seattle Seahawks. Harrison Jr. caught three passes for 47 yards on six targets, the second most on the team. He has had a boom-or-bust season, making it challenging for fantasy managers to decide whether or not to play him. Harrison Jr. was also one toe away from scoring a go-ahead touchdown, but he couldn't get his foot inbounds inside the pylon. Although he had three catches, the Cardinals schemed up plays to get him the ball, but the execution just wasn't there on any front. They have a tough matchup against the Vikings in Week 13, and Harrison Jr. will once again be a boom-or-bust start.

6 hours agoIn Week 12, Chicago Bears tight end
Cole Kmet had a standout outing in the team's narrow 30-27 loss to the Minnesota Vikings. Kmet finished with seven receptions for 64 yards, marking a significant improvement from his recent performances. Seeing the Bears' new offensive coordinator continue to feature Kmet after his increased usage in the previous week's game was encouraging. While Kmet had a strong performance overall, he did have an unfortunate drop on an easy first-down catch that stalled a Bears drive and led to a punt. Despite the miscue, Kmet's involvement in the offense is a positive sign, and it's clear the Bears are trying to get the ball to their veteran tight end. With a quick turnaround, Kmet and the Bears will look to bounce back against the NFC-leading Detroit Lions on Thanksgiving Thursday.

6 hours agoIn Week 12, Chicago Bears rookie wide receiver
Rome Odunze delivered a solid performance in the team's 30-27 loss to the Minnesota Vikings. Odunze finished with five receptions for 39 yards but was kept out of the end zone for another week. While the other Bears playmakers were more involved in this contest, limiting Odunze's opportunities, he still made several key plays. Late in the game, with the Bears needing to generate big plays to stay in the contest, Odunze was targeted and showed his ability to step up in crucial moments. Although he didn't find the end zone, the rookie wideout continues to demonstrate promise as a dependable option. With a quick turnaround, Odunze and the Bears will face the NFC-leading Detroit Lions on Thanksgiving Thursday, looking to bounce back.

6 hours agoOn Sunday, Chicago Bears wide receiver
Keenan Allen turned in a massive performance in the team's 30-27 loss to the Minnesota Vikings. Allen finished with nine receptions for 86 yards and a touchdown and led the team with 15 targets, solidifying himself as quarterback
Caleb Williams' go-to option throughout the game. Especially in short-yardage situations, Allen came up big, making key catches to move the chains when the Bears needed them most. This game showcased the best version of Allen we've seen this season, as he made impactful plays at critical moments, including a substantial late fourth-quarter touchdown. However, his performance was marred by a notable mistake: a dropped pass on 4th down when the Bears were deep in Vikings territory. Despite the misstep, this was Allen's best game of the year. With a quick turnaround, he and the Bears will face the NFC-leading Detroit Lions on Thanksgiving Thursday.

6 hours agoIn Week 12, Chicago Bears wide receiver
DJ Moore turned in a standout performance in the team's narrow 30-27 loss to the Minnesota Vikings. Moore finished with seven receptions for 106 yards and a touchdown, showing signs of improvement after a few quiet weeks. He also contributed in the rushing game, adding one carry for 10 yards. It was encouraging to see Moore used more creatively within the offense. His touchdown came on a well-designed screenplay that allowed him to waltz into the end zone untouched. He also made several plays where he was able to get in space, using his quickness and shiftiness to make defenders miss and generate big yardage. With a quick turnaround, Moore and the Bears will look to build on this performance when they face the NFC-leading Detroit Lions on Thanksgiving Thursday.

6 hours agoOn Sunday, Chicago Bears running back
D'Andre Swift had a challenging outing in the team's Week 12 loss to the Minnesota Vikings. Swift rushed 13 times for just 30 yards, marking his worst performance in recent memory, though it came against a tough Vikings defense. While the running game was largely ineffective, Swift made his presence felt in the passing game, hauling in three catches for 35 yards. Despite being bottled up on the ground, Swift sparked the offense with a key reception that helped set up a touchdown drive. However, in disappointing news for Swift fantasy managers, the touchdown run went to his backup,
Roschon Johnson, who has become the Bears' go-to option in goal-line and short-yardage situations. With a quick turnaround, Swift and the Bears will look to rebound against the NFC-leading Detroit Lions on Thanksgiving Thursday.

6 hours agoOn Sunday, Chicago Bears running back
Roschon Johnson made an impact in the team's Week 12 loss to the Minnesota Vikings. While his offensive snaps were limited, Johnson made the most of his opportunities, rushing twice for 2 yards and a touchdown. As the Bears' primary short-yardage and goal-line back, Johnson converted a crucial touch near the end zone into a score. He also caught one pass for 10 yards, adding a small but solid contribution to the passing game. Johnson's fantasy value remains largely touchdown-dependent, especially as long as
D'Andre Swift remains healthy and continues to dominate the backfield. If Johnson can maintain his role in the red zone, he'll continue to be a viable fantasy option—albeit with a boom-or-bust profile. With a quick turnaround, the Bears will face the NFC-leading Detroit Lions on Thanksgiving Thursday.

6 hours agoThis Sunday, Chicago Bears rookie quarterback
Caleb Williams faced a tough test against the Minnesota Vikings in their Week 12 OT loss. Despite the challenging matchup, Williams showcased his potential in a standout performance. He completed 32 of 47 passes for 340 yards and two touchdowns, demonstrating impressive accuracy and poise under pressure. Williams also added 33 rushing yards, leading the Bears' ground game. One of his most memorable plays came when he rolled out and delivered a perfect sideline pass to D'Andre Swift, a throw that only a handful of quarterbacks can make. Williams displayed excellent field awareness and was able to distribute the ball effectively to all his playmakers. With the Bears now shifting their focus to the NFC-leading Detroit Lions, they'll have a quick turnaround, facing off on Thanksgiving Thursday in a critical divisional matchup.

7 hours agoArizona Cardinals running back
James Conner was productive through the air but couldn't get anything going on the ground in the 16-6 loss to the Seattle Seahawks. Conner was limited to just eight yards on seven carries, as the Cardinals were repeatedly beaten at the point of attack. However, Conner still found a way to contribute, hauling in all five of his targets for 41 yards. He was expected to play a larger role given the circumstances of a tough divisional game on the road, but the ineffectiveness of the Cardinals' run game forced them to shift to a pass-first attack as they fell behind on the scoreboard. Conner is due for a bounce-back performance when the Cardinals travel to Minnesota to take on the Vikings.
