Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen was sacked a career-high eight times and hit four other times in the Thursday night loss to the Houston Texans. Allen took a beating, but he said he's fine after having his left shoulder examined by athletic trainers. The 29-year-old stayed in the game and finished with no touchdowns for only the third time in his career. Allen was also seen shaking his right hand after taking a sack, but he said after the game that "we're good." It was a rough game for Buffalo's offense, but the good news is that Allen will have extra time to rest before a Week 13 game on Nov. 30 against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Allen's fantasy managers will be hoping that tight end Dalton Kincaid (hamstring) will be back by then, and it's likely that the team will end receiver Keon Coleman's two-game absence for disciplinary reasons. Allen should be able to bounce back against Pittsburgh if he's healthy.

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver DK Metcalf hasn't reached double-digit fantasy points since Week 8, but he's positioned to rebound against the Chicago Bears in Week 12. The Bears have allowed the fifth-most fantasy points and second-most touchdowns to opposing wideouts this season. While Chicago's secondary is getting healthier, Pro Bowl cornerback Jaylon Johnson (groin) is listed as questionable and may not be ready to return. Regardless, Chicago's offense should find success at home, so Metcalf's involvement will be important as Pittsburgh aims to keep pace. Quarterback Aaron Rodgers (wrist) is questionable to suit up, but backup Mason Rudolph looked sharp last week and targeted Metcalf on five of his 16 pass attempts. As the WR22 in RotoBaller's Week 12 rankings, Metcalf can be viewed as a low-end WR2 with upside heading into Sunday.

Jacksonville Jaguars rookie running back Bhayshul Tuten (ankle) was limited in practice all week but was cleared from Friday's final injury report and will be active in Week 12 against the hosting Arizona Cardinals on Sunday, according to ESPN's Michael DiRocco. Travis Etienne Jr. (shoulder) was limited all week, too, but he has also been cleared. The 23-year-old Tuten had a career-high 15 carries for 74 yards and a touchdown in the Week 11 win over the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday, with his increased usage potentially having something to do with Etienne's shoulder injury. Fantasy managers want to know if Tuten's elevated workload from last weekend will continue. It remains to be seen, but the Jags figure to lean heavily on the ground game again in an excellent matchup against Arizona. Tuten should be viewed as an explosive, upside RB3/flex as he looks to stack two straight strong games.

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Travis Etienne Jr. (shoulder) was limited in practice all week due to a shoulder injury, but he has been cleared from Friday's final injury report and will be active in Week 12 against the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday, according to Michael DiRocco of ESPN. Rookie Bhayshul Tuten (ankle) followed the same routine in practice this week and was also cleared, so the Jags will have both RBs available in the desert. The 26-year-old Etienne has been Jacksonville's RB1 pretty much all year, but Tuten saw a bigger piece of the pie in last week's win over the Los Angeles Chargers, leading many to wonder if Tuten might slowly be taking over this backfield. It's possible, but both RBs should see plenty of chances to produce in a plus matchup against Arizona. Etienne had two rushing scores in Week 11 and profiles as a high-end RB2 for fantasy managers in this matchup.

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Kenneth Gainwell scored two receiving touchdowns last week and will look to carry that momentum into a Week 12 meeting with the Chicago Bears. Although Jaylen Warren (ankle) practiced in full on Thursday and was removed from the injury report, Gainwell could still have an expanded role if Warren is limited in any way on Sunday. The matchup sets up well, as Chicago gives up the fourth-most yards per carry and over 20 fantasy points per contest to opposing running backs. Starting quarterback Aaron Rodgers (wrist) is questionable, but it's worth noting that much of Gainwell's Week 11 production came with Mason Rudolph under center. While he doesn't offer a particularly safe floor, the 26-year-old profiles as a viable flex option with upside this week.

Green Bay Packers kicker Brandon McManus (quad) is off the injury report for the Packers and is good to go when the team hosts the Minnesota Vikings in Week 12. Even when healthy, McManus hasn't been too productive for fantasy managers this season despite being in an above-average Green Bay offense. He's missed at least one field goal in all three games since his initial Week 8 return from a quad injury that sidelined him for a pair of games. On the campaign, he's made just 11-of-17 field goals after making 20-of-21 field goals last season when replacing Brayden Narveson early last season. For fantasy purposes, McManus is a kicker to leave on the waiver wire for the Packers' game in Week 12.

The San Francisco 49ers have voided wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk's (knee) 2026 guarantees, sources tell Michael Silver of The Athletic. Just 15 months after Aiyuk signed a four-year contract extension worth $120 million, he and the 49ers look headed for a divorce. It wasn't long after the 27-year-old former first-rounder signed that extension that he suffered a season-ending knee injury last October. Aiyuk was put on the Physically Unable to Perform list in July and has yet to be activated. According to numerous sources briefed on the matter, it's "now likely that he has played his last game with the franchise." Aiyuk has failed to attend meetings and hasn't taken part in other team activities in recent months, and the Niners are "growing increasingly frustrated with his lack of communication." So not only is it unlikely that Aiyuk plays again for San Fran, but it seems the team will release him at season's end. For fantasy purposes, there are real questions as to whether he can regain his pre-injury form in 2026 after he tore his ACL, MCL, and meniscus on Oct. 20 of 2024.

Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love (shoulder) put up three consecutive full practices and is off the injury report for Week 12 when the Packers host the Minnesota Vikings. Love was QB8 in Week 11, throwing two touchdown passes and just 174 yards on just 24 pass attempts in their win over the New York Giants. He also left the game for a brief period due to his shoulder injury, but returned to the game a short time later. The Minnesota Vikings allow the 11th-fewest fantasy points to the quarterback position, but also the 12th-fewest points to opposing running backs. The Packers could opt to attack the Vikings' defensive blitzes with more passing, given that Josh Jacobs (knee) is questionable to play. Love is a very polarizing quarterback for fantasy, but he's at the low end of the streaming quarterbacks for fantasy in Week 12 if you need to plug in an option at the last minute.

From RotoBaller

Green Bay Packers running back Emanuel Wilson could see more work than he typically does with the Packers hosting the Minnesota Vikings in Week 12. With Josh Jacobs (knee) leaving Week 11's game due to the injury, Wilson saw an uptick in work and production. With 12 touches for 49 yards, Wilson saw his second-highest opportunities of the season and his most involvement on the field with a season-high 71 percent of snaps. Minnesota is an above-average defense when it comes to stopping opposing running backs, as they've allowed the 12th-fewest fantasy points per game to the position. Wilson's fantasy viability comes down to Jacobs' availability on Sunday. If Jacobs, who is questionable on the injury report heading into Week 12, were unable to suit up, Wilson would be a high-end RB3 for fantasy managers. If Jacobs returns, Wilson should be left on the bench for fantasy.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Romeo Doubs resumed his usual role as the top Packers' target-earning pass-catcher after missing Week 10 and looks to carry that momentum going when the Packers host the Minnesota Vikings in Week 12. Doubs led the Packers with seven targets, catching four of those targets for 53 yards. With quarterback Jordan Love facing blitzes from the vaunted Brian Flores-led Vikings' defense this Sunday, Doubs should be an outlet for the Packers' offense to keep moving the chains. With the Packers' receiving production coming down to Doubs and Christian Watson in the last couple of weeks, they have condensed a good amount of the team's production. Consider Doubs a solid flex play for this matchup in Week 12.

From RotoBaller

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Christian Watson was very productive in Week 11 and looks to keep that run going when the Packers welcome the Minnesota Vikings for an NFC North divisional showdown in Week 12. Watson scored two touchdowns and caught 4-of-5 targets for 46 yards in the Packers' Week 11 win against the New York Giants. With Watson running at least 80 percent of routes per dropback in his last two games, he is fully entrenched as a top-two target on this Packers team. Also worth noting is Watson leading the Packers in first-read target share (33.3 percent) and first downs (4), so there has been intent to get Watson involved with target-earning as well. With Watson facing the Minnesota Vikings, Watson is a solid flex play with plenty of upside in Week 12.

From RotoBaller

Green Bay Packers tight end Luke Musgrave's opportunity has declined substantially and is no longer fantasy viable when the Packers host the Minnesota Vikings in Week 12. Musgrave ran routes on 81 percent of dropbacks in Week 10 against the Eagles. Even his role as a sporadic contributor to the Packers' offense is in peril, as John FitzPatrick earned more snaps and ran four more pass routes than Musgrave did last week against the Giants. With just eight targets and seven receptions for 56 yards in his three combined games after Tucker Kraft's season-ending injury, it seems the replacement for Kraft's workload won't come from the tight end position for the Packers. Musgrave is not worth rostering in fantasy leagues, much less starting in your lineups in Week 12.

Seattle Seahawks tight end AJ Barner is worth monitoring in Week 12 against the Tennessee Titans. Barner is coming off a 10-reception, 70-yard game against the Los Angeles Rams in Week 11. He has been inconsistent this season, but he has been a solid fantasy producer more often than not. Seattle projects to have a low passing volume day in Week 12 against a Titans team that has had trouble staying in games this season. However, Barner's target share will be worth monitoring because it could translate to further success later this season. Even so, unless Barner finds the end zone in Week 12 (which he has five times this season) he is unlikely to be particularly useful. If Seattle does indeed lean heavily on the running game this week, most of the passing volume is likely to go to wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba. Stash Barner through this week and see how he performs.

Seattle Seahawks kicker Jason Myers will look to continue his massive 2025 campaign in Week 12 against the Tennessee Titans. Myers is attached to an offense that is putting up massive point totals every week. That should not change in Week 12 against a porous Titans defense. The Seahawks should be in scoring position all day. Whether it is for extra points or field goals, Myers will be on the field consistently. He has been relatively accurate this season, converting 21 of 26 field goals. Most notably, Myers is hitting from deep with 11 of his makes coming from beyond 40 yards. Those types of kicks are massive boosts in fantasy. Expect more short kicks in Week 12, but a lot of them. Myers is a top-ranked kicker this week.

From RotoBaller

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Rashid Shaheed is struggling to make an impact in fantasy with his new team. In two games with the Seahawks, Shaheed has just three catches for 30 yards. Seattle seems to be figuring out how to use Shaheed. He possesses legitimate outside wide receiver skills, but Seattle has used him as more of a gadget player to this point. Week 12 against the Tennessee Titans presents a great opportunity for Shaheed to make a splash play. The Titans are No. 26 against opposing wide receivers in fantasy. They do not have the personnel to cover Shaheed and his speed. Additionally, Shaheed is being worked more into the offense. After playing just 34% of the snaps in Week 10, Shaheed jumped to 54% in Week 11. If that number spikes again to the 70% range, we can be confident that he will be a full-time player in this offense. With fellow wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba running wild on the other side of the field, things could shake loose for Shaheed. Monitor his workload in Week 12 to inform future roster management concerning Shaheed.

Cincinnati Bengals defensive end Trey Hendrickson (hip) has been ruled out ahead of the Week 12 matchup against the New England Patriots. Hendrickson will now miss his third game in a row due to a hip injury. It sounds like Hendrickson could need surgery to fix the issue, but plans to delay it until the offseason. However, Hendrickson might elect to do it early if the Bengals get eliminated from playoff contention. For now, Hendrickson will sit out this weekend and hopefully return after that. Myles Murphy should continue to see an expanded role with Hendrickson out. The Bengals defense isn't an appealing streaming option with Hendrickson, but they're definitely avoidable without him.

From RotoBaller

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold is in the streaming conversation in Week 12 against the Tennessee Titans. Despite two horrific fantasy outings in a row, Tennessee presents a great chance for Darnold to get back on track. The Titans have been one of the worst defenses in the league in just about every category. The only reason they are middle-of-the-pack against opposing quarterbacks in fantasy is because they are often down by so many points early in games that teams turn to the run to salt away their victory. Darnold is coming off a performance in which he tossed four interceptions against the Los Angeles Rams. In Week 10, his services were hardly needed because the Arizona Cardinals fell behind so early in the game that the Seahawks essentially coasted after one quarter. The Titans could present a similar situation in Week 12, but look for Darnold to throw a couple of touchdown passes before this game gets out of hand. He is a low-end QB1 or high-end QB2 in Week 12.

From RotoBaller

Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Brenton Strange (quad) is listed as questionable ahead of the Week 12 matchup against the Arizona Cardinals. Strange remains on the injured reserve at the moment, but has a chance of playing this weekend. The 24-year-old has missed the last five games due to a quad injury. He was able to practice as a limited participant this week. It's unclear if Strange would be limited at all, assuming he's cleared to play. If he's going to play, the Jaguars must activate him from the injured reserve by Saturday afternoon. Fantasy managers will need to check back for another update on his status.

From RotoBaller

Seattle Seahawks running back Zach Charbonnet will be a touchdown-dependent flex option once again when the Seahawks clash with the Tennessee Titans in Week 12. However, despite his touchdown-dependent status, Charbonnet has a great chance to score this week. The Titans are No. 22 in points allowed to opposing running backs in fantasy this season. They have also allowed 12 rushing touchdowns to running backs, which is good for 31st in the league. This team does not have much going for it on the defensive line, and Charbonnet could reap the benefits. Seattle will surely find itself in the red zone numerous times throughout this game. Charbonnet is the clear goal line back for this team, and he will likely receive multiple opportunities inside the five-yard line. If you are desperate for a running back start, Charbonnet could deliver for you in Week 12. It is worth noting that fellow running back Kenneth Walker III (glute) popped up on the injury report on Friday. If Walker were to sit or be limited, Charbonnet would be an automatic start this week.

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba should be great in a Week 12 tilt against the Tennessee Titans. JSN has been completely game script-independent this season. Whether the Seahawks are up big or down big has not mattered; Smith-Njigba always delivers. The Titans have a terrible defense in just about every aspect. They are No. 26 against opposing wide receivers in fantasy. The yards and receptions are flowing against this team. Smith-Njigba has been automatic all season, and his connection with quarterback Sam Darnold is special. He is on pace for nearly 2,000 receiving yards this season, and he should make a large dent in that goal in Week 12. The only factor working against Smith-Njigba this week is the potential for Seattle to build a huge lead and rest its starters later in the game. However, that has happened on multiple occasions this season, and Smith-Njigba has still delivered for fantasy. He can be started with WR1 overall upside in Week 12.
