Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans (hamstring), Chicago Bears running back D'Andre Swift (groin), and Chicago Bears wide receiver Keenan Allen (ankle) are three key players listed on injury reports ahead of their Week 12 games. Well, Allen isn't exactly "key" to fantasy football this year, but he could be. Either way, it's always […]

Roschon Johnson A Dart Throw For Fantasy Managers Facing Vikings

Chicago Bears running back Roschon Johnson is a speculative play in Week 12 as he faces a daunting matchup against the Minnesota Vikings' elite run defense. The Bears' backfield rotation continues, making Johnson a potential dart throw for fantasy managers in deeper leagues or those searching for a sleeper. In limited action last week, Johnson […]

D'Andre Swift Faces Strong Test Against Minnesota Vikings

Chicago Bears running back D'Andre Swift is shaping up to be a risky RB2 option in Week 12 as he faces one of the most formidable run defenses in the NFL—the Minnesota Vikings. Swift had an efficient Week 11 performance, rushing for 71 yards and a touchdown on 14 carries, but big plays have buoyed […]

Blake Corum Not Worth Considering For Week 12

Los Angeles Rams running back Blake Corum had plenty of hype entering the 2024-25 campaign, considering head coach Sean McVay made it seem the rookie would have a routine role in the offense. Unfortunately, that hasn't happened, with the 2024 No. 83 overall pick accumulating only 28 carries for 101 yards in 10 games this […]

Kareem Hunt To Stick In Lead-Back Role For Another Week

Kansas City Chiefs running back Kareem Hunt will take on the Carolina Panthers in Week 12. Hunt was on the injury report with a knee injury but practiced fully all week and has no injury designation heading into this week's matchup. Hunt had a poor showing in last week's 21-30 loss to the Buffalo Bills. […]

Kyren Williams Looks To Get Back In The End Zone On Sunday

Los Angeles Rams running back Kyren Williams has had a terrific season. He began the 2024-25 campaign by finding the end zone at least once in the Rams' first seven contests. However, the 24-year-old hasn't scored a touchdown in his last three appearances. Granted, with Puka Nacua and Cooper Kupp missing time this season, Williams […]

Chuba Hubbard Draws Tough Matchup In Week 12

Carolina Panthers running back Chuba Hubbard will face the No. 1 ranked rush defense in the NFL in Week 12 as the Kansas City Chiefs visit the Panthers. Before a Week 11 bye, Hubbard recorded a career-high 153 rushing yards against the New York Giants in Munich, Germany. In half-PPR leagues, he's scored 20-plus in […]

Tyrone Tracy Jr. Will Continue Workhorse Role In Week 12

New York Giants running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. enters Week 12 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers with momentum after rushing for 103 yards in Week 10 against Carolina, despite a costly fumble in overtime. Tracy has averaged 15.2 fantasy points per game since becoming the starter in Week 5, ranking as the RB22 during that […]

Emari Demercado Off The Injury Report

Arizona Cardinals running back Emari Demercado (shoulder) was removed from the injury report and doesn't carry a designation heading into Sunday's divisional clash with the Seahawks. The 25-year-old has been battling a shoulder injury, resulting in limited practices on Wednesday and Thursday. However, he was a full-go on Friday. Demercado has only 20 carries for […]

Christian McCaffrey Searching For End Zone In Week 12

San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey (Achilles) is in Green Bay for a Week 12 matchup with the Packers. Through two games since his return, McCaffrey hasn't quite been himself, producing 13.7 half-PPR points in Tampa before totaling 12.6 at home in last week's home loss to the Seahawks. Conspicuously, McCaffrey hasn't scored a […]

Dylan Laube To Play Role In Backfield In Week 12

Las Vegas Raiders running back Dylan Laube will get his second chance for backfield work for his team in Week 12. Injuries to both of the teams top-2 backs, Zamir White (quad) and Alexander Mattison (ankle), have left them almost certain to be held out of the contest. Laube will join lead back Ameer Abdullah […]

Ameer Abdullah Set For First Big Opportunity Of 2024

Las Vegas Raiders running back Ameer Abdullah will lead his team's backfield in Week 12 against the Denver Broncos. RBs Alexander Mattison (ankle) and Zamir White (quad) are both designated as "Doubtful" on the Raiders' injury report, meaning they're highly unlikely to play. Abdullah had just one carry for one yard last week, but did […]

Audric Estime Has RB3/Flex Upside In Week 12

Denver Broncos rookie running back Audric Estime could have a decent workload in the Week 12 road tilt against the division-rival Las Vegas Raiders at Allegiant Stadium on Sunday. The Broncos have made it a point to get the rookie more involved of late, with him seeing 28 touches for 113 scrimmage yards in the […]

Javonte Williams An RB3/Flex In Plus Matchup Versus Raiders

After 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 […]

Saquon Barkley A Top Three Option Despite Stiff Matchup

Philadelphia 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 […]

David Montgomery Looking To Exploit Colts’ Run Defense

Detroit 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 […]

Alec Ingold Questionable Again

Miami 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 […]

Jahmyr Gibbs Set For Another Big Week Against Colts

Detroit 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 […]

Kenneth Walker III Checks In As An RB2 With Upside In Week 12

Seattle Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III is a high-end RB2 in Week 12. The Seahawks host the Arizona Cardinals who are the No. 25 defense against opposing running backs in fantasy. Walker has been held in check of late in fantasy, but this is a great matchup for him to get things going. His […]

Josh Jacobs Will Suit Up In Week 12 Against 49ers

Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs (quadricep, calf) will suit up for the Packers in Week 12 after practicing in a limited fashion on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. Jacobs was left off the injury report for their matchup with the San Francisco 49ers this week, and he could have some success against a 49ers' […]

Jonathan Taylor A Back-End RB1 Versus Detroit In Week 12

Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor was held to under 100 total yards rushing and receiving last Sunday for the second time in three weeks. While Week 12's showdown with the Lions looks like another tough matchup on paper, with the Lions allowing the fifth-fewest rushing yards per game thus far and the fourth-fewest fantasy […]

Joe Mixon Takes Hot Streak Against Slumping Titans

Already one of the top-performing fantasy players of the year, Houston Texans running back Joe Mixon faces another decent matchup when his team plays host to the Tennessee Titans in Week 12. The top Houston back has scored in six straight games and rushed for 100-plus yards in five of six, and now takes on […]

Justice Hill Practices In Full On Friday

Baltimore Ravens running back Justice Hill (concussion) was able to practice in full on Friday after being limited on Thursday. Hill suffered a concussion in the Week 11 loss to the division-rival Pittsburgh Steelers and is working through the league's concussion protocol. It's a good sign that he ditched his non-contact jersey on Friday, but […]
