Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence was a bit chaotic in their Week 12 overtime win over the Arizona Cardinals, completing 18 of 30 passes for 256 yards, three touchdowns, three interceptions, and taking three sacks while also losing a fumble. He added five carries for 29 yards on the ground. The 26-year-old continues to be one of the most turnover-prone quarterbacks in the league, but he matched a season high with three passing touchdowns and continues to be active as a runner. He's had at least five carries in four straight games, totaling 24 rush attempts for 97 yards and three touchdowns. Over that span, his 24 carries are tied for the second most among quarterbacks, his 97 yards are tied for fourth, and his three rushing touchdowns are tied for the second-most. Lawrence is the QB6 in fantasy points in the last four games, and is on the map as a potential streamer for Week 13 at the Tennessee Titans.

Cleveland Browns rookie tight end Harold Fannin Jr. led the team with four catches (six targets) for 40 yards in a Week 12 win over the Las Vegas Raiders. After running just 48.5% of the team's routes in Week 11, his lowest in a game since Week 5, Fannin climbed back to 66.7% in Week 12 and paced the Cleveland passing attack in Shedeuer Sanders' first career start. The rookie tight end played a season-high 89.6% of snaps and continued to showcase his exceptional tackle-breaking ability, forcing 11 missed tackles in the game, which is the most by a tight end in a game this season. Fannin mostly operates in a short area of the field to let him generate yards after the catch, and Sanders looked for him as a checkdown frequently. The upside isn't super high for Fannin in a bad Cleveland offense, but he has been their most consistent pass catcher this season. He is worthy of a waiver add in 12-team leagues for fantasy managers looking for a tight end.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Teddy Bridgewater could be lined up for a start in a favorable matchup against the Cardinals this week, after an MRI revealed a low-grade AC joint sprain in Baker Mayfield's left shoulder. While there is no concern of a long-term injury, Bridgewater could fill in for this week. He completed 8-of-15 pass attempts for 62 yards, no touchdowns, and no interceptions after coming in against the Rams. Coach Todd Bowles said the team would tweak the offense if Bridgewater starts, saying, "Schematically, we'll have to do some different things for him to make him feel comfortable within the offense and do a lot of things he likes to do." Bridgewater has never started for the Bucs, with his last start coming in 2022 with the Dolphins, and Mayfield has never missed a game for the Bucs, starting all 45 games since joining the team in 2023. It's hard to say exactly what tweaks will be made, but it's worth considering for all the Buccaneers' offensive skill players that things could look different this week without Baker under center.

Tennessee Titans rookie quarterback Cameron Ward delivered one of his most promising games in a tough Week 12 matchup against the Seattle Seahawks, completing 28 of 42 passes for 256 yards and a touchdown to go with six carries for 37 yards and a score on the ground in a 30-24 loss. It was easily Ward's best game from a fantasy perspective, scoring 25.94 points, with his next closest being 15.06 in Week 11 against the Texans. The first overall pick in this past year's draft has gone through a gauntlet of a schedule, but he is showing encouraging signs of development in a tough offensive ecosystem in Tennessee. Ward rushed for a season high and scored the first rushing touchdown of his career, which could be a valuable piece of his fantasy scoring profile moving forward. Ward is an interesting waiver addition in deeper leagues ahead of Week 13 against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Jacoby Brissett continues to put up solid numbers on a weekly basis, and he can be a solid option in deep leagues or two-quarterback formats. The veteran has thrown for over 250 yards in each of his six starts, while totaling 11 touchdowns and just three interceptions. Last week, he threw for 317 yards and a touchdown in the team's loss to the Jaguars while adding 20 rushing yards. He has been given a huge volume of pass attempts with a limited run game and a defense that typically leaves him playing from behind. He's put together impressive numbers, and he will get at least one more start this week against the Buccaneers before Kyler Murray (foot) is eligible to return from IR. Given how productive he has been, the Cards may opt to stick with Brissett, depending on their direction for the future beyond this season. For fantasy purposes, Brissett can be a solid option this week against the Bucs, but a Week 14 matchup with the Rams would be tough even if he gets another start.

From RotoBaller

Chicago Bears rookie tight end Colston Loveland has emerged as a big piece of the offense over the last few weeks and had another positive performance in Week 12 against the Pittsburgh Steelers, recording four catches for 49 yards and a touchdown on five targets. Loveland is operating in close to a full-time role, playing at least 60% of the snaps in six straight games and totaling 23 receptions (29 targets) for 324 yards and three touchdowns. He has the third most PPR points in that span (73.4), only behind George Kittle and Trey McBride. The 10th overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft is a dynamic receiving option and a matchup nightmare for opposing defenses at the tight end position. His role should only continue to expand in an explosive Bears offense. Loveland will rank as a borderline TE1 for Black Friday's matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles.

Denver Broncos wide receiver Troy Franklin is having a breakout season in his second year out of Oregon. He leads the team with 81 targets and 46 catches on his way to 509 yards and a team-high five receiving touchdowns. The 9-2 Broncos come out of their bye week with a Sunday Night Football matchup against the Commanders in Week 13, and then they face the Raicers in Week 14. Both of those teams have been top-five matchups for receivers, making Franklin a great scoop and start option if you need to add a WR3 or flex play from the waiver wires. His great matchup against the Raiders in Week 14 also makes him a strong option if you have starting receivers who are part of the last round of bye weeks and can use him as a ready replacement.

Tennessee Titans running back Tyjae Spears continued to share time in the backfield in Week 12's matchup with the Seahawks. He only had three carries for four yards, compared to Tony Pollard's 11 carries for 20 yards. Each running back also posted exactly four catches on five targets for 21 yards. While Pollard got more work this week, Spears played 43% of snaps and remains in almost an even snap share. If he can get going in any week, he'll likely end up with over 50% of snaps, as he did in Week 8 and Week 11. His best game of the year was Week 8 against Indianapolis, when he had nine carries for 59 yards and his only touchdown of the season. Spears is getting enough work to still be a deep-league flex play from the waiver wire, although he has tough running back matchups against the Jaguars and Browns the next two weeks.

Los Angeles Chargers rookie running back Omarion Hampton has missed six consecutive games since being placed on injured reserve with an ankle injury suffered during a Week 5 loss to the Washington Commanders. Head coach Jim Harbaugh said he does not expect Hampton's practice window to be opened until after their Week 12 bye, so there should be a new update coming soon on the rookie's status. The 22nd overall pick in this past year's draft was working off to the side in practice before the bye and is now out of the walking boot, which should give him a decent shot of suiting up in Week 13 against the Raiders. Hampton was having a strong rookie season before the injury, recording 66 carries for 314 yards and two touchdowns to go with 20 receptions (22 targets) for 136 yards in five games, good for an average of 15.4 PPR points per game. Second-year back Kimani Vidal will return to a backup role, and Hampton should slot back in as a high-end RB2 in fantasy upon his return.

From RotoBaller

New England Patriots wide receiver Kayshon Boutte returned from a two-week absence and played 80% of the team's snaps in Week 12 against the Bengals. He only had two catches on two targets for 15 yards, but he seems to be over his injury and ready to resume his role as the team's deep threat. Hunter Henry went off on Sunday on underneath routes, but Boutte is still involved enough on the outside to be a nice addition on waiver wires, if he's available in standard-sized leagues. QB Drake Maye has been doing a good job spreading the ball around, which makes Boutte a boom-or-bust play with upside. He has totaled 25 catches for 446 yards and five touchdowns in his 10 games this season and has a favorable matchup this week against the Giants on Monday before a Week 14 bye week.

San Francisco 49ers TE George Kittle had six catches for a game-high 78 yards versus the Carolina Panthers in Week 12. Kittle was targeted 10 times.

Fantasy Spin: It took a little while for Kittle to get rolling after returning from injury, but he looks fully back at this point. He and Brock Purdy have shown tremendous chemistry over the years, and with Purdy struggling with his downfield decision making we should continue to see Kittle get a lot of opportunities each week. Kittle is a top five fantasy tight end.

From TheHuddle

San Francisco 49ers WR Demarcus Robinson had an eight-yard reception on his only target in Week 12 versus the Carolina Panthers.

From TheHuddle

San Francisco 49ers RB Christian McCaffrey had 24 carries, 89 yards, and a touchdown against the Carolina Panthers in Week 12. He also caught all seven of his targeted passes for 53 yards.

Fantasy Spin: On a night when not much looked good offensively from either team, McCaffrey cobbled together 142 yards and a touchdown on a whopping 31 touches. Despite an overall decline in San Francisco's offensive prowess, CMC continues to grind out one effective performance after another, putting himself squarely in the conversation with Jonathan Taylor and Jahymr Gibbs for top overall fantasy RB.

From TheHuddle

Carolina Panthers running back Rico Dowdle recorded six carries for 38 yards to go along with four receptions (four targets) for 36 yards in Monday night's loss to the San Francisco 49ers. Dowdle was one of the few players who the Panthers could rely on to move the ball. The Panthers ran just 43 plays in the game, which limited their opportunities to get Dowdle a big workload. His 10 touches were his fewest in a game since their blowout loss to the Bills in Week 8, where he had only eight touches. The former Dallas Cowboy was still quite productive with his opportunities, leading the team in rushing and receiving yards. Backup Chuba Hubbard was also more involved than expected in this game, handling three carries for 15 yards and four catches for 27 yards. Dowdle has been more active as a receiver to offset some rushing inefficiencies lately, adding 12 receptions in the last three games, fifth most among running backs in that span. Dowdle has another tough matchup against an NFC West opponent in Week 13 against the Los Angeles Rams.

From RotoBaller

Carolina Panthers rookie wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan caught just two of seven targets for 35 yards and a touchdown in Monday night's 20-9 loss to the San Francisco 49ers. McMillan and quarterback Bryce Young struggled to connect in this game, with the two often on the wrong page or Young delivering an inaccurate ball. The rookie wideout isn't without blame, however, as he had a bad drop on a third down in the first half. McMillan was at least able to connect with Young on a beautiful 29-yard touchdown late in the third quarter to at least salvage a decent fantasy day for managers. It was still a disappointing result for the Panthers' passing attack after a great performance last week against the Atlanta Falcons, when McMillan went for 130 yards and two touchdowns. McMillan still projects favorably as the Panthers' clear No. 1 target for their Week 13 matchup against the NFC-leading Los Angeles Rams.

From RotoBaller

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle totaled six receptions for 78 yards on 10 targets in a Monday night win over the Carolina Panthers. Kittle led the 49ers in both targets and receiving yards in the win. Outside of zero catch performance in his first game returning from his early-season hamstring injury in Week 7 against the Falcons, the superstar tight end has been as advertised as an early-round pick for fantasy managers. In the other five games, including Monday night, he's racked up 29 catches for 304 yards and four touchdowns on 34 targets, good for an average of 16.6 PPR points per game. The 32-year-old will again profile as a top-three tight end option in Week 13 against the Cleveland Browns.

From RotoBaller

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings caught five of seven targets for 41 yards and a touchdown in Monday night's win over the Carolina Panthers. His first-quarter touchdown came on an impressive catch and run where he fought through two defenders on his way into the end zone. Jennings continues his strong stretch of production over the last four games, recording 19 receptions for 217 yards and three touchdowns on 27 targets. The recent return of second-year wideout Ricky Pearsall hasn't affected Jennings' production, with Pearsall totaling just three catches for six yards in the past two games. The 28-year-old Jennings has been a reliable target earner for San Francisco alongside multiple other capable weapons and a heavy dose of touches devoted to Christian McCaffrey. Jennings will rank on the WR2/WR3 border again in Week 13 against the Cleveland Browns.

From RotoBaller

Arizona Cardinals running back Bam Knight had 10 carries for 12 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-24 overtime loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 12. He added four catches on five targets for 20 yards through the air. Knight was able to tough out an ankle injury that had limited him in practice leading up to Sunday's performance. The 24-year-old had to find the end zone to save his Week 12 fantasy performance, and he has now scored a touchdown in back-to-back weeks to stay fantasy viable. In a high-volume passing offense, Knight has become a touchdown-dependent running back in all fantasy formats. Since Week 9, over a third of Knight's fantasy points have come from his touchdown production. Heading into Week 13 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Knight's short-term fantasy appeal could run out if Trey Benson (knee) returns from Injured Reserve.

From RotoBaller

Arizona Cardinals running back Michael Carter had five carries for 28 yards in Sunday's 27-24 overtime loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 12. Carter also had three catches for 30 yards on three targets. The 26-year-old had his most efficient rushing game of the year in Sunday's matchup, gaining 5.6 yards per carry. Carter will need to continue to maximize each carry he gets in this pass-heavy offense to stay relevant in fantasy in his limited rushing role. Carter has also not seen double-digit touches in a game since Week 6. Fantasy managers should consider Carter a desperation flex option in deeper leagues heading into Week 13 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He'll fall to RB3 duties if Trey Benson (knee) returns from Injured Reserve.

From RotoBaller

San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey handled another massive workload in Monday night's 20-9 win over the Carolina Panthers, recording 24 carries for 89 yards and a touchdown to go with seven catches (seven targets) for 53 yards in the pass game. McCaffrey now has 298 touches on the season after another 31 in Week 12 against his former team, with Jonathan Taylor being the next closest player at 237. The superstar running back also leads the league in receptions with 81. McCaffrey continues to be one of the top options in all of fantasy football as the engine of San Francisco's offense and a security blanket for quarterback Brock Purdy, who struggled throwing downfield in this game with three interceptions in the first half. McCaffrey will rank as an elite RB1 in Week 13 against the Cleveland Browns.
