Green Bay Packers wide receiver Christian Watson could be set up for a few weeks as the team's top pass-catcher before the potential return of Jayden Reed (collarbone/foot) from IR. In his growing role, he makes a nice addition if he's on the waiver wire in your leagues. The fourth-year receiver from North Dakota State missed the first seven weeks of the season but has played four straight games, logging multiple receptions and over 40 yards in each contest. On Sunday, he scored his first two touchdowns of the year to help power the Packers past the Giants. Watson and the Packers have tough receiver matchups against the Vikings and Lions in the next two weeks, but then he has three favorable matchups in the last four weeks of the fantasy season against the Bears twice and the Ravens.

Arizona Cardinals running back Emari Demercado suffered a high ankle sprain in Sunday's 41-22 loss to the San Francisco 49ers and is considered unlikely to play in Week 12 against the Jacksonville Jaguars, per Adam Schefter of ESPN. Demercado left the game in the second quarter after recording five carries for eight yards and two catches (three targets) for 12 tards. The injury comes at an unfortunate time for the 26-year-old as he was beginning to establish himself as the preferred option in Arizona's backfield, but he will now be sidelined for at least one week and possibly longer as ankle injuries tend to linger. Bam Knight handled most of the backfield duties in his absence and would be expected to take on an even larger role if Trey Benson (knee) is still unable to return in Week 12.

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Andrei Iosivas caught three of his four targets for 20 yards in a 34-12 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 11. Iosivas had his best game of the season in Week 9 versus the Bears, with five receptions (seven targets) for 66 yards and his first touchdown of the season. The 26-year-old has been a more consistent piece of the offense, albeit in a limited role, drawing at least three targets in six straight games. However, he's not involved enough behind Cincinnati's two-star wideouts to be viable in 12-team leagues. Iosivas is best left on the waiver wire in most formats.

New Orleans Saints tight end Juwan Johnson scored in back-to-back games before the team's Week 11 bye, establishing a good connection with former college teammate Tyler Shough. It's been a strong four-game stretch for the 29-year-old, totaling 17 receptions for 255 yards and two touchdowns on 23 targets. With Rashid Shaheed dealt to the Seattle Seahawks at the trade deadline, Johnson has the opportunity to establish himself as the No. 2 target earner behind top wideout Chris Olave. Johnson was the TE2 in PPR points per game (14.2) in the first three weeks of the season before cooling off in the following three contests. However, the Saints' offense is trending up with Shough playing decently well, and Johnson is back on the map as a potential low-end TE1 moving forward. Owned in 35% of ESPN leagues, he is worth adding in 12-team leagues if he is still available.

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Jacoby Brissett completed an NFL record 47 passes in their 41-22 blowout loss to the San Francisco 49ers in Week 11. Brissett's 452 passing yards trail only Joe Flacco's 470-yard performance in Week 9 for the most passing yards in a game this season. His passing volume has been among the highest in the league since taking over as the starter in Week 11. The 32-year-old signal caller has 212 pass attempts in that span, behind only Flacco, and is the QB4 in points per game (22.5). The Cardinals have often found themselves in negative game scripts, which has led to Brissett slinging it at a high rate. For fantasy managers looking for a viable quarterback with the slew of injuries at the position this year, Brissett is one of the better adds off the waiver wire this week and is only rostered in 23.6% of ESPN leagues.

Chicago Bears rookie running back Kyle Monangai has now scored touchdowns in back-to-back weeks as he's earned more work behind starter D'Andre Swift. Monangai was still the clear No.2 back in Week 11 against the Minnesota Vikings, handling 13 touches for 37 yards compared to Swift with 21 for 90, but the rookie is getting valuable touches on the goal line. The 23-year-old has outcarried Swift three to two inside the 10-yard line in the past two weeks. While Monangai doesn't have the explosiveness to break off long runs, he has standalone value as long as he maintains the work down near the goal line and mixes in with Swift occasionally. Monangai is one of the top handcuffs in fantasy and should be added off the waiver wire in most leagues if available.

Las Vegas Raiders WR Tyler Lockett had three catches for 33 yards versus the Dallas Cowboys in Week 11.

Fantasy Spin: After leading the Raiders in receiving in his debut, Lockett finished third on the team in Week 11, trailing only Brock Bowers and Tre Tucker. The veteran has built-in chemistry with Geno Smith and is trusted by Pete Carroll, but his best days are behind him, and unless we see an unexpected resurrection it's hard to envision Lockett offering playable value outside of the deepest leagues.

Las Vegas Raiders RB Raheem Mostert had two carries for six yards and two receptions for seven yards against the Dallas Cowboys in Week 11.

From TheHuddle

Las Vegas Raiders QB Geno Smith completed 27 of 42 passes for 238 yards, one touchdown, and one interception during the team's Week 11 loss to the Dallas Cowboys. Smith, who was sacked four times, also had 14 yards on four rushing attempts.

Fantasy Spin: It was a tough night for Smith, who had a good matchup against a Cowboys secondary that has been routinely exploited throughout the season. As ever, you can't lay all of the Las Vegas' struggles on the veteran QB, as the offensive line had issues in protection while also effectively abandoning the run, and the team lacks difference makers in the receiving game outside of Brock Bowers. While Smith has had a couple of big games this season, he's a fringe QB2 candidate at best, and you'd be forgiven for targeting a higher upside reserve in standard leagues if one is available.

From TheHuddle

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Tre Tucker found the end zone in Monday night's loss to the Dallas Cowboys, scoring his first touchdown since his breakout eight catch, 145-yard, three touchdown performance in Week 3 against the Washington Commanders. Tucker caught four of his eight targets for 47 yards and the score in the loss. With Jakobi Meyers traded to the Jaguars at the deadline, Tucker is thrust into the No. 1 wide receiver role and second pass-catching option behind star tight end Brock Bowers. The 24-year-old wideout finished second on the team in targets behind Bowers (12), and should continue to be involved as the Raiders play catch-up in most of their games.

Los Angeles Chargers running back Kimani Vidal carried the ball five times for 13 yards and caught two passes for -1 yards in the team's worst offensive showing of the year with a 35-6 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. He briefly left the game with a thigh injury before returning, but the offense never found its rhythm, running only 45 plays and maintaining possession for just 22 minutes. Vidal's roller-coaster season continued, fluctuating between productive games and complete duds. His workload might decrease after the Bolts' much-needed Week 12 bye, as rookie Omarion Hampton (ankle) appears close to returning from IR after shedding his walking boot and resuming side work in practice. If Hampton is activated in Week 13, Vidal could shift back into a secondary role. The bye week arrives at the perfect time for his recovery and for fantasy managers looking for clarity.

Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Geno Smith completed 27 of 42 passes for 238 yards with one touchdown and one interception while adding 14 yards on 4 carries on the ground in Monday night's 33-16 loss to the Dallas Cowboys. The Raiders came out with a pass-heavy game plan with only eight designed running back carries all game, but Smith couldn't take advantage of a poor Dallas defense. His 42 pass attempts were the most since Week 2 against the Los Angeles Chargers. The 35-year-old has mostly struggled in his first season in Las Vegas, throwing more interceptions (12) than touchdowns (11) and exceeding 300 yards passing just once, which came all the way back in Week 1. It doesn't get any easier for Smith in Week 12 against a tough Cleveland Browns defense.

Tennessee Titans running back Tony Pollard had 10 carries for 22 yards in Sunday's 16-13 loss to the Houston Texans in Week 11. Pollard also had three catches for four yards on three targets. The 28-year-old veteran scored a season low of 5.6 fantasy points and was out-snapped for the third time this season by backfield mate Tyjae Spears. Since Week 6, Pollard has only been able to eclipse over eight fantasy points once. The former explosive fantasy favorite has become a low-upside, touchdown-dependent flex option for managers. Pollard was been unable to find paydirt for a fifth straight week and has only been able to find the end zone twice this year. Heading into Week 12, Pollard will be a desperation flex option in deeper leagues in a difficult matchup against the Seattle Seahawks.

From RotoBaller

Tennessee Titans tight end Chig Okonkwo caught three passes for a team-high 56 yards on three targets in Sunday's 16-13 loss to the Houston Texans in Week 11. Okonkwo was able to play through a foot injury on Sunday that had limited his participation in practice all week leading up to the game. The 26-year-old had his best fantasy performance since Week 8 and had a season high in yards per target. Despite seeing targets further down the field, Okonkwo was unable to find the end zone and is still looking for his first touchdown this season. Okonkwo has only finished as a top-eight tight end once through the first 11 weeks and remains an unreliable option for fantasy managers. Heading into Week 12, Okonkwo should be viewed as a low-end TE2 against a top-ranked Seattle Seahawks defense.

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Ladd McConkey caught three passes for 13 yards on four targets in the team's blowout loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. The entire offense was ineffective, with Justin Herbert passing for only 81 yards, and the Chargers holding the ball for just 22 minutes. After scoring four touchdowns in his last six games, this was McConkey's lowest-target outing of the season and his second-worst game in receptions and yards. He entered Week 11 as the team's clear WR1, but Los Angeles couldn't sustain drives long enough for any receiver to produce. McConkey still leads the league in routes run and ranks in the top 12 in overall targets. With a Week 12 bye ahead, fantasy managers should see this as an outlier with better days ahead.

From RotoBaller

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb recorded five catches on seven targets for 66 yards and a touchdown in Monday night's 33-16 win over the Las Vegas Raiders. Lamb and George Pickens both sat out the first offensive series of the game due to a coach's decision, but both returned to their normal roles afterward and had strong nights. The star wideout took a backseat to Pickens in this game, with the former Steeler leading the team with 11 targets and exploding for 144 yards and a touchdown. Lamb still had a strong game for fantasy managers on a night where the Cowboys moved the ball at will, but it could have been an even bigger night for the 26-year-old if he had hauled in what would have been a walk-in touchdown near the end of the game. He will continue to rank as a strong WR1 moving forward, but a tougher matchup awaits in Week 12 against the Philadelphia Eagles.

From RotoBaller

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen was the only bright spot in the team's disastrous 35-6 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars, posting four receptions for 53 yards on six targets. He led the team in every receiving category on a day when Justin Herbert threw for just 81 yards, and the offense gained only 135 total yards. Allen's route rate had been trending down in recent weeks, but the veteran stepped up while the rest of the offense struggled to function. Even in a historically bad performance, Allen delivered a useful 9.3 PPR points. As the Chargers head into their desperately needed Week 12 bye, Allen still proves to be a reliable pass catcher heading into the fantasy playoff push.

Tennessee Titans rookie quarterback Cameron Ward went 24-for-37 for 194 yards with one touchdown in the crushing 16-13 loss on Sunday to the Houston Texans in Week 11. Ward also had three carries for a career high of 33 rushing yards with one lost fumble. The 23-year-old first overall pick put together his best fantasy performance of his young career, scoring over 14 fantasy points. Ward threw his lone touchdown to veteran wide receiver Van Jefferson on Sunday, making it his third game in four weeks throwing a touchdown. However, Ward had another turnover, bringing his total to 12 this season. Ward will once again be a QB3 in fantasy in a difficult matchup against a top-ranked Seattle Seahawks defense in Week 12.

From RotoBaller

Tennessee Titans running back Tyjae Spears had four carries for three yards in Sunday's 16-13 loss to the Houston Texans in Week 11. Spears also had five catches for 31 yards on five targets. The 24-year-old was able to claw out 8.4 fantasy points, making it the fifth straight game with over seven fantasy points. Sunday also marked the third time this season Spears out-snapped backfield mate Tony Pollard in a game. Spears continues to live off his receiving production to stay flex-worthy for fantasy managers in PPR leagues. Nearly all of his fantasy points were earned through the air, making it the fourth time in five games this season he's done that. Spears will remain a flex option in PPR leagues despite a difficult matchup against a top-ranked Seattle Seahawks defense in Week 12.

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott was in control all night in their 33-16 win over the Las Vegas Raiders on Monday night, completing 25 of 33 passes for 268 yards and four touchdowns. Prescott took only one sack for a loss of one yard and consistently moved the ball against a mediocre Raiders defense. It was a much-needed bounce-back performance for the 32-year-old quarterback, who had only one touchdown to three interceptions in his past two games. The four touchdowns tied his season high from Week 5 against the Jets, as Prescott connected with each of his top three targets in CeeDee Lamb, George Pickens, and Jake Ferguson for touchdowns and capped the night with a touchdown strike to Ryan Flournoy. Prescott will have a tougher matchup in Week 12 against the Philadelphia Eagles.
