1 day agoDetroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff completed 26-of-36 passes for 269 yards in the team's 24-6 victory over the Indianapolis Colts in Week 12. Despite moving the ball consistently through the air, Goff was held out of the end zone for the first time in nine games, leading to a quieter fantasy outing compared to his massive Week 11 performance. Goff's down weeks can be significant, as he has finished with under 11 fantasy points in four games this season. Still, his role in Detroit's explosive offense and high-scoring tendencies always make him a fantasy threat. Goff will look to rebound in Week 13 against the Chicago Bears.Source: ESPN
1 day agoDetroit Lions running back David Montgomery (shoulder) made the most of limited action in the Lions' 24-6 victory over the Indianapolis Colts before exiting with a shoulder injury. The veteran backlogged eight carries for 37 yards and a touchdown while catching all three of his targets for 36 yards. Despite the shortened outing, Montgomery's performance is good enough for a Top-10 RB finish this week heading into Sunday night. Montgomery has been a reliable red-zone presence for Detroit, scoring a touchdown in nine of 11 games this season. It's also worth noting that he has now recorded 15 or more PPR fantasy points in seven of 11 games. His status for the Week 13 Thanksgiving Day matchup against the Chicago Bears will be one to monitor closely, but it looks optimistic for now.Source: ESPN
1 day agoDetroit Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs thrived in the Lions' 24-6 victory over the Indianapolis Colts, taking on an expanded workload after David Montgomery exited with a shoulder injury. The dynamic back rushed 21 times for 90 yards and two touchdowns while catching all three of his targets for nine yards. Gibbs has now found the end zone in eight of 11 games this season, establishing himself as one of the league's most consistent fantasy options. Gibbs has scored 16 or more PPR points in eight of 11 games and currently ranks as the RB2 going into Sunday night. With Montgomery's status for Week 13 in question, Gibbs could see an even greater role in an intriguing matchup against the Chicago Bears.Source: RotoBaller
1 day agoDenver Broncos defensive back Riley Moss (knee) was forced from the team's 29-19 victory over the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 12 and did not return. The second-year DB registered four tackles before exiting the contest late in the first half. After the game, head coach Sean Payton noted that Moss sustained an MCL injury. Parker Gabriel of the Denver Post reports that Moss avoided a worst-case scenario, and there was some thought he could go back into the game. "We'll see where it's at," said Payton, referencing the 24-year-old's status. Heading into Week 12, the Iowa product had appeared in each game this season and led Denver's cornerbacks in snaps played. His status for Week 13's home tilt against the Cleveland Browns is unclear at this time. However, seeing him miss some practice time this week with the ailment wouldn't be shocking.Source: Parker Gabriel
1 day agoDetroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown's touchdown streak ended in the Lions' 24-6 road win against the Indianapolis Colts in Week 12. The star wideout hauled in six of seven targets for 62 yards, leading the team in receptions for the day. St. Brown has now recorded at least six receptions in each of his last four games. He has also notched 50 or more receiving yards in eight of 11 games this season, further cementing his status as a reliable fantasy WR1. Though his eight-game touchdown streak is over, St. Brown remains a must-start option for fantasy managers. He'll look to bounce back in a favorable Week 13 matchup against the Chicago Bears on Thanksgiving Day.Source: ESPN
1 day agoDallas Cowboys wide receiver/return specialist KaVontae Turpin made one of the plays of the day with his speedy 99-yard kick return late in the game against Washington. The score put Dallas up 27-17 with under three minutes to go, although they nearly lost late. Turpin totaled 179 return yards on the day and also caught a pass for eight yards on his lone target. He is off the fantasy radar in most formats, but is an intriguing dart throw in formats that utilize return yardage.Source: RotoBaller
1 day agoDallas Cowboys wide receiver Jalen Tolbert recorded a touchdown in the third quarter of the exciting 34-26 win over the Washington Commanders. Tolbert was targeted four times, catching two passes for 22 yards and the touchdown. He was fifth on the team in receiving on a day where quarterback Cooper Rush spread the ball around. Tolbert will remain a touchdown-dependent flex option going forward, although the return of Brandin Cooks (knee) could further muddy his usage.Source: RotoBaller
1 day agoDallas Cowboys tight end Luke Schoonmaker grabbed a late 22-yard touchdown reception in the thrilling 34-26 win over the Washington Commanders, his first of the season. The second-year tight end played well in place of Jake Ferguson (concussion), recording three catches for 55 yards on four targets. The Michigan product may start again if Ferguson can't go on a short week against the New York Giants on Thanksgiving.Source: RotoBaller
1 day agoDallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb paced the team in receiving in the 34-26 win over Washington on Sunday. Lamb was targeted 12 times, catching 10 passes for 67 yards while also rushing once for a yard. The star receiver remains a high-end WR2 with Cooper Rush under center as the team prepares for the New York Giants on a short Thanksgiving week.Source: RotoBaller
1 day agoDallas Cowboys running back Rico Dowdle paced the team in rushing on Sunday in the 34-26 victory over Washington. Dowdle carried the ball 19 times for 86 yards, accounting for 94% of the team's rushing yards. He was targeted three times, catching all three for 12 yards. The Cowboys' lead back will remain in RB2 territory heading into Thursday's Thanksgiving game against the New York Giants.Source: RotoBaller
1 day agoDallas Cowboys quarterback Cooper Rush played well on Sunday in the thrilling 34-26 win over the Washington Commanders. Rush completed 24-of-32 passes for 247 yards and two scores while scrambling four times for a yard in his first win of the season under center for Dallas. Rush will be in QB2 range off a short week heading into Thursday's Thanksgiving matchup with the New York Giants.Source: RotoBaller
1 day agoIndianapolis Colts wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. led the Indy receiving corps in Sunday's 24-6 loss to the Lions, tying Josh Downs with a team-high seven targets and turning it into six receptions for 96 yards. No other Colt receiver had more than three catches or 39 yards. It was an encouraging performance on a day where Anthony Richardson completed just 11 passes on 28 attempts. It was the second consecutive week in which the 27-year-old recorded at least seven targets and five catches with Richardson under center. The Colts will take on the Patriots in Week 13 who just allowed Jaylen Waddle and Tyreek Hill to total 192 yards receiving on 13 catches, so Pittman Jr. has a chance to keep the momentum going so long as Richardson keeps feeding him targets.Source: ESPN
1 day agoSeattle Seahawks wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba continued his 2024 breakout on Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals. Smith-Njigba was clearly quarterback Geno Smith's preferred target on important downs in this game. Smith-Njigba caught his fourth touchdown of the season and led the Seahawks in targets once again. Smith-Njigba is building serious momentum. He has now recorded at least 110 receiving yards or a touchdown in three straight games. He is a top 10 fantasy wide receiver on the season which was not what most expected coming into the season. With Smith-Njigba seemingly finding consistency, he has entered the must-start conversation. The Seahawks do not have the worst schedule moving forward so Smith-Njigba should continue to produce at a relatively high level. Fantasy manager dreams are finally coming true for the 2023 first-round pick.Source: ESPN
1 day agoSeattle Seahawks wide receiver DK Metcalf was quiet in a Week 12 matchup with the Arizona Cardinals. Metcalf caught four passes for 59 yards on five targets. Since his return from an MCL sprain in Week 11, Metcalf has not produced the high-end numbers fantasy managers are accustomed to. Additionally, fellow wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba has emerged as an excellent weapon for the Seahawks and quarterback Geno Smith. Still, Metcalf's talent is too strong to ignore. He is unlikely to stay quiet for long. This is especially true considering that the Seahawks are entering a stretch run of the season in which they have a chance to take control of the NFC West. They do not have an egregious schedule for wide receivers ahead and should be able to produce solid numbers in the passing game. It is only a matter of time before Metcalf finds his way back into the high-end WR2 conversation.Source: ESPN
1 day agoTennessee Titans tight end Chig Okonkwo caught one pass for a 70-yard, game-clinching touchdown in Sunday's 32-27 win over the Houston Texans. The 25-year-old wasn't targeted most of the game until Levis hit him wide-open on a seam route 10 yards downfield. Okonkwo broke a tackle and outraced the entire Texans secondary for the long score. It was the only target Okonkwo drew in the contest, but he made the most of the opportunity, showcasing his elite athleticism and speed on the play. Maybe the play will signal the Titans coaching staff to involve Okonkwo more in the passing game, but given his extremely low target volume, he remains a dart-throw option at tight end next week on the road vs. the Washington Commanders.Source: ESPN
