23 hours agoThe Green Bay Packers defense and special teams unit bounced back from a couple of subpar outings to post their best game in the past six weeks in Week 12. The Packers D/ST forced an interception and corralled a fumble recovery from the hands of 49ers backup quarterback
Brandon Allen as well as sacking him twice on the afternoon. The opportunistic Packers' defense also forced a fumble on
Christian McCaffrey as Packers cornerback Keisean Nixon punched the ball out and lineman Karl Brooks recovered. The Packers' defense looks to build from their momentum against the Miami Dolphins on Thanksgiving evening. The Packers are a startable defense for fantasy managers even with the short turnaround.

23 hours agoIndianapolis Colts wide receiver
Josh Downs was limited to just three catches for 27 yards in Sunday's 24-6 loss to the Lions. Downs, who had been the Colts' most reliable pass catcher over the course of the season, tied
Michael Pittman Jr. for a team-high seven targets, but couldn't translate it into production. Richardson completed only 39.3% of his passes (11-for-28), so there wasn't much fantasy goodness to be had and blame should probably be placed on the QB and some untimely penalties rather than on Downs. The 23-year-old also exited briefly due to a shoulder injury but was able to return shortly thereafter. The Patriots pose less of a challenge in Week 13 and Downs will have a good chance to get back on track despite Richardson's deficiencies. Keep an eye on his practice status throughout the week, as the former third-round draft pick likely slots in as a WR3 if healthy.

23 hours agoGreen Bay Packers kicker
Brandon McManus was perfect on all his kicks as the Packers stymied the San Francisco 49ers 38-10 in Week 12. McManus put the exclamation point on six scoring drives with five successful point after attempts and one field goal, a 51-yarder made in the waning seconds of the first quarter. The Packers dominated throughout the game and McManus wasn't needed for a large chunk of the game minus the point-after attempts. His steady leg has earned him quite a bit of trust with the Packers. McManus and the Packers host the Miami Dolphins on Thanksgiving night in Week 13, where McManus will be a low-end starting kicker for fantasy managers looking to capitalize on a Packers' offense that's building momentum.

23 hours agoGreen Bay Packers wide receiver
Jayden Reed was a minor part of the Packers' 38-10 blowout of the San Francisco 49ers in Week 12. Reed has struggled with consistency all season and in Week 12, it was no different as he earned just three targets, catching all three of them for 26 yards. With the targets for the Packers spread out, Reed's three targets tied
Christian Watson for second on the team. Despite that, his low production is no doubt souring fantasy managers who thought they would be getting more big plays out of the second-year pro from Michigan State. With a short turnaround to Thanksgiving Night where the Packers host the Miami Dolphins in Week 13, consider Reed a high-end WR3 for fantasy purposes.

24 hours agoMiami Dolphins running back
Raheem Mostert carried the ball two times for five yards and caught his only target for a loss of three yards. This game is further evidence that head coach Mike McDaniels has Mostert in the doghouse in favor of rookie
Jaylen Wright. He was out-touched seven to three in favor of Wright. On top of that, he has played fewer snaps than Wright in the last three games. Week 12 also marks the third game in a row where Mostert has had three carries or less. The 2023 touchdown leader is borderline droppable in fantasy football without the touchdown upside. His next opportunity will be on Thanksgiving night against the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field.

24 hours agoGreen Bay Packers running back
Josh Jacobs had his best game as a Packer as he rumbled for three touchdowns in the Packers' 38-10 drubbing over the San Francisco 49ers. Jacobs was a fixture of the 49ers' second level as he ripped off multiple runs of 10-plus yards and ended up with 106 rushing yards on 26 carries. Scoring all three touchdowns from one yard out in the second, third, and fourth quarters, Jacobs was the finisher and was the key part of the Packers' huge win. After this huge game where he no doubt delighted Packers fans and fantasy managers alike, Jacobs will set his sights on the Miami Dolphins on Thanksgiving. Jacobs will be a locked-in RB1 against Miami in that matchup on Thursday night.

24 hours agoPer Cordell Woodland of 105.7 The Fan Baltimore, Baltimore Ravens center Tyler Linderbaum (back) is officially questionable for Monday night's matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers. The former first-round pick popped up on Baltimore's Friday practice report with a back injury and was listed as a non-participant. He'd improve his practice participation to be limited on Saturday, but his status for Monday Night Football is in question. The 24-year-old has missed just two games since being drafted No. 25 overall in the 2022 NFL Draft. If he can't suit up, Nick Samac will pick up the slack for Baltimore's offensive line.

24 hours agoGreen Bay Packers quarterback
Jordan Love kept the mistakes to a minimum as he threw two touchdown passes and led the Packers to a dominant 38-10 win at home over the San Francisco 49ers. Love bookended his touchdown passes as he connected with
Tucker Kraft from 11 yards out to kick off the game's scoring and then threw the game's final score to
Malik Heath in the fourth quarter for a three-yard touchdown. Love also added two yards on his lone rushing attempt. Only needing 23 pass attempts, Love was a little shaky on the efficiency, but Love's services weren't needed as the Packers employed a heavy ground-game approach thanks to
Josh Jacobs' three touchdowns. The Packers have a short turnaround as they host Thanksgiving night's contest against the Miami Dolphins, where Love will be a low-end fantasy starter.

24 hours agoMiami Dolphins running back
De'Von Achane carried the ball 10 times for 32 yards and added three receptions on four targets for 24 yards and two touchdowns in the 34-15 victory over the New England Patriots. Both touchdowns came through the air from 11 and nine yards out. Once again, it was a game where Achane scored 20 PPR points. He has done this now four times in his last five outings. The carries and yardage totals suffered from the game script as Miami threw the ball 40 times, the most attempts they've had in the last five games. Achane continues to be involved in the receiving department, ranking second in receptions and third in receiving yards by running backs. Achane and the Dolphins offense look to keep it rolling in Week 13 when they travel to Lambeau Field to face the Green Bay Packers on Thanksgiving night.

1 day agoIndianapolis Colts running back
Jonathan Taylor was held to just 35 scoreless yards on 11 carries in Sunday's 24-6 loss to the Lions, and he was not targeted in the passing game. The former second-round pick hasn't really been involved in the passing game anyway, but with
Anthony Richardson being reinserted under center, the mobile quarterback has negatively impacted Taylor's role in the offense. Richardson totaled 61 yards on 10 carries on Sunday, and last week, it was Richardson who scored twice on the ground -- not Taylor. It hasn't helped that the Colts have played the Jets and the Lions, two teams that have been good against the run. Things should get a bit easier next week against the Patriots, but with the reemergence of Richardson's legs and with Taylor a non-factor through the air, the 25-year-old will likely get bounced from the ranks of RB1 status.

1 day agoAccording to Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle, San Francisco 49ers guard Aaron Banks (concussion) sustained a concussion in the team's 38-10 loss to the Green Bay Packers in Week 12. It's another blow to a 49ers squad whose injuries continue piling up on both sides of the ball. San Francisco was already down tackle Trent Williams (ankle) for the contest despite the team believing he could play. With a premiere matchup against the Buffalo Bills on tap next Sunday night, the 27-year-old could be in danger of missing the contest if he cannot clear the league's concussion protocol in a timely fashion. Banks had appeared in every game for San Francisco this season, registering just under 96% of the team's snaps. His practice participation this week will be telling of his status for Sunday's road tilt.

1 day agoMiami Dolphins tight end
Jonnu Smith caught nine of 11 targets for 87 yards and a touchdown in their 34-15 win over the New England Patriots. This marks back-to-back games with 80-plus receiving yards and at least one touchdown for the 29-year-old. The touchdown came in the red zone on a short pass in the middle, and he proceeded to bull his way over the goal line from seven yards out.
Tua Tagovailoa has looked for him early and often since his return in Week 8. He has received six or more targets in six of his last seven games. With his play as of late, it's safe to say Smith has earned his way into being a weekly TE1 start. The next matchup comes against the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field on Thanksgiving night.

1 day agoDetroit Lions wide receiver
Jameson Williams continued to showcase his playmaking ability in the team's 24-6 win over the Indianapolis Colts in Week 12. Williams saw seven targets, hauling in five receptions for 64 yards, and added a four-yard rush. In nine games this season, Williams has posted 60 or more yards in six contests and has delivered five fantasy outputs of 14 or more PPR points. Notably, he has recorded a 20+ yard reception in eight of nine games, solidifying his role as a big-play threat. His consistent involvement makes him a viable option for fantasy managers heading into a matchup against the Chicago Bears in Week 13.

1 day agoNew York Giants cornerback Deonte Banks (undisclosed) will receive diagnostic imaging following Sunday's 30-7 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Ryan Dunleavy of the NY Post reported the news. The 23-year-old recorded six tackles in his team's defeat. It's an interesting development as it's unclear when or even what the second-year DB injured. However, he'll apparently require X-rays for whatever it is that's ailing him. Banks is the team's snap leader at cornerback, so if he's forced to miss time, it'd be a blow to a team already having issues. With the Giants' quick turnaround this week in a Thursday afternoon matchup against the Dallas Cowboys on Thanksgiving, he could be in danger of missing the contest depending on the severity of his injury. If he can't go, Adoree' Jackson projects to see an uptick in usage as the next man up.
