Fantasy Football Player Notes
Week 12 Rankings
|
1.
Christian McCaffrey
RB - CAR (at MIA)
After limiting McCaffrey's snaps in Week 9 and 10 following his return from a hamstring injury, the Panthers gave CMC a 90% snap share in Week 11. It was hard to tell the difference based on touch counts alone. McCaffrey had 18 touches on 29 snaps in Week 9, 23 touches on 44 snaps in Week 10, and 17 touches on 46 snaps in Week 10. The workload is secure, and McCaffrey's soft tissue has been cooperating. He's averaged 18.4 fantasy points per game since making his return, and he's ranked RB1 this week against the Dolphins. CMC is a compelling DraftKings play at $9,000.

2.
Jonathan Taylor
RB - IND (vs . TB)
Taylor put fantasy teams on his back in Week 11, with 32-185-4 rushing and 3-19-1 receiving against the Bills. His 51.9 points in half-point PPR scoring were the most scored by any player in a game this season, including quarterbacks (the next-highest total: Derrick Henry's 44.7 points in Week 2). It was the eighth straight game in which Taylor had 100 or more scrimmage yards and a touchdown, tying a record previously shared by LaDainian Tomlinson and Lydell Mitchell. Colts head coach Frank Reich and his offensive staff have really ramped up Taylor's usage of late. The turning point? In Week 8, the Titans beat the Colts 34-31 in overtime. Carson Wentz threw 51 passes in that game. Taylor had only 16 carries but racked up 122 yards from scrimmage. Up to that point in the season, Taylor hadn't carried the ball more than 18 times in any game. In the three games since, he's averaging 24 carries and has had at least 19 carries in every outing. The Buccaneers have a strong run defense and won't be an easy matchup for Taylor, but JT is close to matchup-proof. He's the RB2 behind only Christin McCaffrey. The tricky matchup makes it hard to pay $9,100 for Taylor on DraftKings. With Taylor going berserk lately, Hines is barely clinging to fantasy relevant - and some would argue that he's already lost his grip on it. Hines is a midrange RB4 this week.

3.
Dalvin Cook
RB - MIN (at SF)
There's no questioning that when Cook is healthy and active in the lineup, he receives one of the largest workloads in the league. Over his last five games, Cook has seen an average of 22 carries for 101.6 rushing yards with an average of 16.6 Half PPR points per contest. There are very few other RBs in the fantasy football landscape that we can feel as comfortable dropping into our starting lineup each week other than Cook and he deserves to be right back in rankings as a top-5 option this week against San Francisco.

4.
Austin Ekeler
RB - LAC (at DEN)
Ekeler's quite vocal about his passion for fantasy football on social media and apparently he went up against Jonathan Taylor in a league last week. Ekeler came out on fire and put up a dominant 39 Half PPR fantasy points, which single-handedly brought several teams that were out of their matchups back into it. He's seeing a workload this season like he's never had before and he is absolutely thriving with the opportunity. He now ranks top-5 in the NFL through 11 weeks in overall Red Zone Rushing Attempts with 30 and that shows no signs of slowing down anytime soon with his conversion rate. The Broncos defense is only giving up 15.6 fantasy points per game on average to opposing RBs, but that shouldn't scare us away from Ekeler at all. He's a rock-solid play each and every week and he's a top-5 option again in Week 12.
|
|
5.
Davante Adams
WR - GB (vs . LAR)
How much of Jalen Ransey will Adams see when the Packers host the Rams in Week 12? "Some" is probably the best answer. Ramsey kind of shadowed Adams when the Packers beat the Rams in last season's playoffs, covering him on many but not all plays. Adams had 9-66-1 on 10 targets in that game. Ramsey has largely been sticking to slot receivers this year but may travel a bit in a matchup against a team that has one great receiver and a bunch of average ones. Even if Ramsey does shadow, you're rolling out Adams without question in season-long leagues. Maybe you'd want to fade him at $8,600 in DraftKings contests, although Adams is still more than capable of justifying that sort of expenditure.
|
|
6.
Najee Harris
RB - PIT (at CIN)
Harris saw less than half of the number of carries in Week 11 as he did in Week 10, but it didn't make much of a difference for fantasy. Harris still was heavily involved in the receiving game as he saw six targets and reeled in five of them for 20 yards. While he didn't put up tremendous stats on the ground as many expected against the porous Chargers defense, Harris is essentially bust-proof at this point with the Steelers' commitment to getting him touches. He has now played in 10 games this season and he has finished outside the top-12 RBs just twice. He's in the running for fantasy MVP at this point and there seems to be no reason to doubt that this type of production can continue. Looking ahead to Week 12, the Bengals have been allowing one of the fewest marks in the league in terms of rushing yards per game with 76.3, but they've been gashed by the RB position as receivers out of the backfield. Cincinnati is allowing 7.6 receptions per game on average to the position and 58.3 receiving yards. Even if Harris can't succeed on the ground in a tougher matchup, we should have zero concerns about his ability to get the job done as a receiver. Fire him up as a mid-range RB1 yet again.
|
|
7.
Nick Chubb
RB - CLE (at BAL)
Did you know that Chubb is the RB6 on the season in Fantasy Points Per Game with 17.3? There were countless arguments surrounding Chubb coming into the year about his lack of receiving work and how that would prevent him from being a top-tier fantasy asset, but that hasn't much mattered. Chubb has been rock solid whenever he's been healthy and in your starting lineup and that's invaluable from a fantasy perspective. The Ravens are middle of the pack when it comes to shutting down opposing RBs, but we should have zero concern about plugging in Chubb into our starting lineups as a mid-range RB1 again this week. Kareem Hunt's potential presence this week could affect Chubb's overall upside, but the floor is incredibly high. Start him with confidence.
|
|
8.
Cooper Kupp
WR - LAR (at GB)
Kupp continues to lead the league in receptions (85), receiving yards (1,141) and TD catches (10) even after the Rams' Week 11 bye. He's the overall WR1 this week and figures to feast in a matchup against Packers slot corner Chandon Sullivan, who's giving up a 71% catch rate on throws into his coverage. Kupp's DraftKings price is all the way up to $9,600, and yet he's still a good value.
|
|
9.
Joe Mixon
RB - CIN (vs . PIT)
After being one of the most divisive players in draft season this year, Mixon has rewarded fantasy managers that took the chance on him at the discounted price. Through 11 weeks, Mixon is now the RB4 in all of fantasy football with 172.3 points and averaging 17.2 per game. He's now up to nine rushing touchdowns on the season and he remains one of the league's last true workhorse RBs. The Steelers defense has softened here in recent weeks and they're coming off a game in which Austin Ekeler was able to total four touchdowns on them, which bodes well for Mixon's outlook here. He can be viewed as a mid-range RB1.
|
|
10.
Ezekiel Elliott
RB - DAL (vs . LV)
Zeke was knocked out of last week's game with a knee injury for a bit, but he did end up returning. While he only put up 10 fantasy points, which would typically be viewed as a disappointing week, this was good enough to put him at RB18 on the week. Week 11 was a weird one for fantasy football RBs and we need to take it with a grain of salt as we evaluate the position moving forward. All indications at the time of writing are that Zeke is going to be ready to roll for this Thanksgiving Day matchup and he belongs right back in your starting lineup as a locked-in RB1. Las Vegas is surrendering 104.1 rushing yards and .8 touchdowns per game to opposing RBs, while also surrendering the 5th-most fantasy points to the position. He might not necessarily be at 100%, but in a game that should see the Cowboys move the ball on this Raiders defense routinely, Zeke's a solid bet to find the end zone. He can be viewed as a low-end RB1.
|
|
11.
David Montgomery
RB - CHI (at DET)
Montgomery's stats from Week 11 won't wow you, but he continues to be one of the most heavily involved RBs in all of fantasy football. In his two games since returning from injury, Montgomery has seen 27 carries on the ground and he's averaging a healthy 4.5 Yards Per Attempt on the season. The scoring opportunities remain limited in this offense with the way it's performing, but this could be a get-right game for Chicago. The Lions defense is being gashed on the ground and they're one of the best matchups in all of fantasy football for opposing RBs. Montgomery should see his standard 15+ touches again in this one and plenty of opportunity to carve up the Lions defense like every dad to the Thanksgiving turkey. Fire up Montgomery as a low-end RB1/high-end RB2 this week.
|
|
12.
Deebo Samuel
WR - SF (vs . MIN)
This has been a wacky fantasy football season and it's exemplified by the fact that Samuel had just one reception last week, but he finished as the WR16 on the week. Samuel was used as a substitute for the running game this past week and he absolutely delivered. On eight carries, Samuel was able to go for 79 yards and a touchdown and he now has finished as a top-20 RB in six of his last seven games. The usage for Samuel is going to be difficult to project as far as where it comes, but in a matchup against Minnesota that's allowing the most fantasy points to opposing WRs this season, Samuel belongs in your starting lineup as a top-10 option.
|
|
13.
D'Andre Swift
RB - DET (vs . CHI)
Over the past two games, Swift has seen 53 total touches. Dan Campbell is choosing to lean on Swift as a true workhorse RB and he's responding with insane production. Swift has 266 rushing yards the past two weeks and he's helping carry fantasy rosters to a victory single-handedly. Against the Bears defense that just isn't the same without Khalil Mack in the lineup, there's very little reason to be scared off of Swift in your starting lineup for Week 12. He can be viewed as a mid-range/low-end RB1 yet again.
|
|
14.
AJ Dillon
RB - GB (vs . LAR)
Jones missed Week 11 with an MCL sprain but got in a limited practice on Wednesday. He remains out of the Week 12 rankings for now, but if he plays, he'll slot in as a midrange RB2 against a solid Rams run defense. With Jones out last week, the Packers were pass-heavy, but Dillon still had a solid day with 11-53-0 rushing and 6-44-0 receiving. His usage in the passing game has been a pleasant surprise, and Dillon displayed his talent in that phase of the game with an artful grab of a high Aaron Rodgers throw last week. Dillon will be a back-end RB1 if Jones doesn't play, a lower-end RB2 if Jones is active.
|
|
15.
Justin Jefferson
WR - MIN (at SF)
Jefferson finished as the WR75 in Week 8 against Dallas and he hasn't finished outside the top-12 WRs since that point. There were previously questions about whether or not we needed to downgrade Jefferson to outside the top-12 WRs in Rest-of-Season rankings, but he's averaging 127 receiving yards over the past three weeks and has three touchdowns as well to put those questions to rest. The 49ers defense is allowing the 7th-fewest fantasy points to opposing WRs this year, but Jefferson is completely matchup proof with his talent and significant target share. He can be viewed as a top-5 WR this week.
|
|
16.
Stefon Diggs
WR - BUF (at NO)
The 23 receiving yards that Diggs had against the Colts in Week 11 were a season-low, yet he had his first multiple-TD game of the season, with a gorgeous 6-yard touchdown on a crisp out route and a 9-yard TD catch on a play where Josh Allen bought time for Diggs to streak uncovered across the back of the end zone. Diggs has scored five touchdowns in his last five games, though he's topped 100 yards just once over that span. Diggs may see some of Saints shutdown CB Marshon Lattimore on Thursday night, but Lattimore normally plays the right side and isn't likely to shadow Diggs throughout the game. He's a high-end WR1 this week. Considering all the injuries to wide receivers scheduled to play on Thanksgiving, Diggs at $7,900 might be a good way to spend your money in DraftKings' Thursday showdown.
|
|
17.
James Robinson
RB - JAC (vs . ATL)
J-Rob's yardage totals have been shrinking in recent weeks, possibly because he's been playing through heel and knee injuries. Over his last three games, Robinson has 28-106-2 rushing and 7-53-0 receiving. The good news is that the touchdowns keep coming. Robinson has scored seven TDs in his last seven games. He has a favorable matchup this week against a Falcons run defense that ranks 24th in DVOA. Robinson is a low-end RB1 this week and a good value at $6,200 on DraftKings.
|
|
18.
Darrell Henderson Jr.
RB - LAR (at GB)
Henderson was the RB11 in fantasy scoring over the first eight games of the season, but the Rams' offense stalled in losses to the Titans and 49ers in Weeks 9-10, and Henderson had only 99 yards from scrimmage in those two games and no touchdowns. Consider him a high-end RB2 this week against a Green Bay run defense that ranks 26th in DVOA.
|
|
19.
Ja'Marr Chase
WR - CIN (vs . PIT)
Drafting Chase at No. 5 overall this past year has gone about as well as Cincinnati could have possibly hoped. Chase has exceeded expectations for fantasy managers this season and he's helping carry teams to the fantasy football playoffs with his performance. Through 10 games, Chase now has 47 receptions for 867 yards and a shocking eight touchdowns. He's averaging 18.4 Yards Per Reception and has an ADOT of 15.3, which speaks to his big play ability. Even in a game last week where Burrow didn't need to air the ball out a ton, Chase still came through for fantasy managers with a touchdown. Looking ahead to Pittsburgh, Chase should draw coverage from Cameron Sutton, who is allowing a 67% catch rate on the season and has a poor 56.9 Pro Football Focus Grade. Chase should be viewed as a mid-range/low-end WR1 this week yet again.
|
|
20.
Saquon Barkley
RB - NYG (vs . PHI)
Returning from an ankle injury, Barkley was used sparsely in his first game since Week 5, rushing six times for 35 yards and catching all six of his targets for 31 yards in the Giants' Monday-night loss to the Buccaneers. In five games this season, Barkley has yet to top 57 rushing yards. His talent is undeniable, but Barkley is going to be ranked in RB2 range until we see a spark. You're probably using him in season-long leagues unless you're absolutely stacked at running back. And while his performances this season haven't exactly wowed us, Barkley's sale price of $6,300 on DraftKings is alluring.
|
|
21.
Chris Godwin
WR - TB (at IND)
Godwin has had at least five catches in each of his last six games. He's the WR10 in fantasy points per game this season, and he's on pace for 107 catches, 1,329 yards and 8.5 TD catches. He doesn't have an easy individual matchup against Colts slot corner Kenny Moore this weekend, but Godwin is a weekly must-start, and he's the WR7 in this week's rankings. At $7,000 on DraftKings, Godwin is one of the best WR values on the board.
|
|
22.
Mike Evans
WR - TB (at IND)
Did Evans tweak his back in the fourth quarter of the Buccaneers' Week 11 win over the Giants? He made a 21-yard catch and seemed to pull up lame while running out of bounds. Evans took himself out for the next play but then immediately came back for the last two plays of the series. The Bucs kicked a field goal to go up 30-10 with 7:48 left, and we didn't see Evans, Tom Brady or any of the Bucs' other key skill-position guys again. Let's hope Evans is 100% healthy for Week 12, because he's been on a tear, and it's been fun to watch. He had 6-73-1 against the Giants, giving him at least one touchdown in four straight games. He's scored eight touchdowns over his last six games. He's the WR9 this week. Evans is $7,200 on DraftKings, and I just can't talk myself into grabbing him when Chris Godwin is $200 cheaper.
|
|
23.
D.K. Metcalf
WR - SEA (at WAS)
The Seahawks' offensive struggles in their last two games have limited Metcalf to 7-57-0 on 16 targets over that stretch. He's too good to be held down for long, and maybe the Washington Football Team will be his slump buster on Monday night. Washington is giving up a league-high 27.8 fantasy points per game to wide receivers, although Metcalf won't have a particularly easy individual matchup against Washington CB Kendall Fuller. Metcalf checks in at WR8 this week. He's a solid value at $6,500 on DraftKings.
|
|
24.
Leonard Fournette
RB - TB (at IND)
Fournette's heavy involvement in the passing game has been propping up his fantasy value in recent weeks. He's had 29-118-0 rushing and 17-101-0 receiving over his last three games. Fournette hasn't scored a touchdown since Week 7, and perhaps we should be at least a little concerned that Fournette had only 10 carries in Monday night's 20-point win over the Giants. Also concerning is a tough Week 12 matchup against the Colts. Indianapolis has yielded only four TD runs in 2021 and is holding opposing RBs to a league-low 14.1 fantasy points per game.
|
|
25.
Terry McLaurin
WR - WAS (vs . SEA)
McLaurin had his fourth 100-yard game of the season and his fifth touchdown last week, posting 5-103-1 on seven targets in a 27-21 win over the Panthers. He has a solid matchup this week against a Seattle pass defense that ranks 25th in DVOA and 27th in PFF's pass coverage grades. McLaurin is the WR11 this week.
|
|
26.
Antonio Gibson
RB - WAS (vs . SEA)
The Football Team has really ramped up Gibson's workload in the two weeks since coming off its Week 9 bye, giving him 43 combined carries against the Buccaneers and Panthers. Washington won both of those games, and positive game scripts certainly worked in Gibson's favor, but there's also a case to be made that Washington won those games because of Gibson's effectiveness. In those two games, he had 43-159-2 rushing and 2-14-0 receiving. Against a Seattle defense that's giving up 23.8 fantasy points per game to running backs, Gibson is a midrange RB2. He's also an intriguing DraftKings play at only $5,600. Gibson's recent usage spike has meant fewer targets for McKissic, who has 5-39-0 receiving on six targets the last two weeks, although McKissic did have a season-high 46 rushing yards vs. Carolina last week. McKissic is a low-end RB3 in half-point PPR.
|
|
27.
Darren Waller
TE - LV (at DAL)
Not much went right for the Raiders on offense last week, but Waller returning to form had to make Raiders fans and fantasy managers alike very happy. Waller saw a whopping 32% target share in Week 11 and he reeled in seven of his eight targets for 116 yards and no score. He also averaged a ridiculous 4.14 Yards Per Route Run, which was second in the entire NFL last week only behind Justin Jefferson (min. 5 targets). There are plenty of questions surrounding the other fantasy assets on Las Vegas, but we should be completely confident in plugging Waller into our starting lineups this week as a top-2 TE option. In a matchup against the Cowboys that's allowing the 9th-most fantasy points to opposing TEs, we could see Waller feast.
|
|
28.
Michael Gallup
WR - DAL (vs . LV)
Gallup went from being an intriguing add off the waiver wire just a few weeks ago to a rock-solid play this week against the Raiders. Without Amari Cooper and potentially CeeDee Lamb, we could see Gallup soak up targets yet again this week. He wasn't able to make the most of his 23.8% target share last week, but he showed enough to warrant strong consideration this week against the Raiders pass defense that is the 22nd ranked defense in Football Outsiders' Pass DVOA. If Lamb is out, Gallup should be viewed as a borderline top-15 play. If Lamb does end up making it back on a short week, we can still view Gallup as a solid top-24 option.
|
|
29.
Miles Sanders
RB - PHI (at NYG)
As noted in the Jalen Hurts report above, Eagles running backs have averaged 30.8 carries a game since Week 8. When that run-heavy stretch began, Sanders was out with an ankle injury, and it was Scott and Jordan Howard shouldering the rushing load, with a minor assist from rookie Kenneth Gainwell. Now, Sanders is back in a starting role, and Howard is going to miss Philly's Week 12 game against the Giants with a knee injury. Last week, in his first game since Week 7, Sanders had 16-94-0 rushing but wasn't targeted in the passing game. Scott has had 46-221-3 rushing and 5-31-0 receiving since becoming a regular in the Eagles' RB rotation in Week 7. The Giants are a favorable matchup for the run-happy Eagles, giving up 21.7 fantasy points per game to running backs. Sanders is a midrange RB2 this week with some DraftKings appeal at a cost-efficient $5,100. Scott is a midrange RB3.
|
|
30.
Michael Pittman Jr.
WR - IND (vs . TB)
Muted passing volume led to a disappointing Week 11 output for Pittman. He had 2-23-0 on five targets. It was a season-low in receiving yardage for the emerging star, but Pittman actually had a 25% target share, since Carson Wentz only attempted 20 passes in an easy 41-15 win over the Bills. Bottom line: There's nothing to worry about. The Colts figure to do more throwing this week against the Buccaneers, whose opponents have thrown passes on 67% of their offensive snaps this season. Pittman lands at WR16 in this week's rankings and is a screaming value at only $5,600 on DraftKings.
|
|
31.
Diontae Johnson
WR - PIT (at CIN)
Johnson has played in nine games so far this season and he is currently averaging 10.33 targets, 6.55 receptions, 79.33 receiving yards, and .44 touchdowns per contest. He is one of the most consistent fantasy assets at the WR position and he is someone that fantasy managers should feel extremely comfortable plugging into their lineups every single week. Did you know that Johnson has yet to see more than 13 targets in any single game so far this season? However, he has seen exactly 13 targets in 5 of his 9 games played. Looking forward to Week 12, the Bengals are a top-8 unit in defending opposing WRs from a fantasy standpoint, but Johnson comes with such a high floor that it doesn't really make much of a difference. Fire up Johnson as a low-end WR1 with confidence.
|
|
32.
Tyler Lockett
WR - SEA (at WAS)
Seattle has struggled mightily on offense in its last two games, but Lockett managed to turn in a 4-115-0 performance last week, connecting with Russell Wilson on a couple of big plays. It was Lockett's second 100-yard game in his last three outings, although he hasn't scored a touchdown since Week 2. Consider him a high-end WR2 this week in a favorable matchup against Washington.
|
|
33.
Adam Thielen
WR - MIN (at SF)
In a shootout performance last week with Green Bay, Thielen saw his target share jump up to 29.4% and he was able to turn that into eight receptions for 82 yards and a touchdown. We certainly haven't seen the same level of touchdown production from Thielen as we did last year, but he's still worth playing every single week due to his involvement around the red zone. Thielen ranks tied for third with several other players for the most touchdowns on receptions within the opponent's 20-yard line, which makes him a worthwhile investment every single week as a mid-range/low-end WR2. He might give a lower floor if he doesn't find the end zone, but his potential to bring one in for six continuously keeps him in the conversation. He can be viewed as a mid-range WR2 for Week 12.
|
|
34.
Cordarrelle Patterson
WR,RB - ATL (at JAC)
Patterson got in a limited practice session on Wednesday, so there's hope that he'll be able to return from a high-ankle sprain this weekend. The Falcons could really use him. Patterson played only 15 snaps in Week 10 before going down, and Atlanta lost 43-3 to Dallas. Patterson was out for week 11, and Atlanta lost 25-0 to New England. The Falcons' offense simply hasn't been functional without him. Patterson is the RB12 in fantasy points per game this season, with 77-303-2 rushing and 39-473-5 receiving. If he suits up this week, he'll be the RB14 (or the WR20 if you play in a league where only has receiver eligibility).
|
|
35.
D.J. Moore
WR - CAR (at MIA)
The hope is that Cam Newton can help revive Moore's fantasy value after Sam Darnold dragged Moore down with him as he circled the drain. Our first data point is encouraging - Moore had 5-50-1 last week in Cam's first start. Moore's TD catch, his first since Week 4, was very much a product of Cam's unique talents. Cam started to run what looked like a QB draw, a Washington linebacker and safety both vacated their zones to come up and stop it, and Cam pulled up short of the line of scrimmage and found Moore on a slant for an easy 10-yard score. Moore might see some of Xavien Howard's coverage Sunday in Miami, but Howard hasn't been as imposing a matchup as he has been in the recent past, and the Dolphins are giving up 27.1 fantasy points per game to wide receivers. Moore is a high-end WR2 this week and a nice DraftKings value at $6,200.
|
|
36.
Josh Jacobs
RB - LV (at DAL)
Coming into the 2021 season, one of the seemingly locked-in guarantees of the year was that Jacobs was going to see a massive workload on the ground each and every week. There were questions about what his upside was due to his lack of involvement in the receiving game, but no one was concerned about his volume as a runner...but maybe we should have been? Jacobs hasn't carried the ball more than 16 times once in his 2021 campaign, which for comparison he had six such games in 2020. The silver lining here is that Jacobs is finally seeing plenty of work as a receiver in this Jon Gruden-less offense in Las Vegas, but even that is failing to result in significant production. Jacobs has 14 receptions over his last three games, but he's only averaging 45 Yards Per Reception over that time span. We can continue to roll out Jacobs as a low-end RB2 each and every week that we know isn't going to crush our lineups, but the upside just quite frankly isn't there. In a matchup against the Cowboys defense that's allowing the 7th-fewest fantasy points to opposing RBs, it's difficult to see how that changes here.
|
|
37.
Keenan Allen
WR - LAC (at DEN)
There was a stretch during the season from Weeks 4-6 where Allen wasn't doing much and was the WR41 in fantasy football. However, since their bye week in Week 7, Allen is averaging 15.7 Half PPR points per game and is the WR6 during that time frame. He's seen 48 targets in those four weeks and is averaging 97.75 receiving yards per contest. Fantasy managers had been waiting for the Allen that we had all come to know and love to show back up and he's done just that in recent weeks. The Chargers have a tough task in front of them with the Broncos secondary, but Allen is about as safe as they come. He can be viewed as a low-end WR1 this week.
|
|
38.
Mike Williams
WR - LAC (at DEN)
If you were to put Williams' fantasy finishes from this season on a moving graph, we would all get dizzy very quickly. Williams has finished inside the top-10 WRs on the week four times already this season. However, he has also finished outside the top-40 WRs on the week fives times so far this season. There is very little consistency with Williams from a fantasy perspective and it's an absolute headache trying to predict what he is going to do any given week. After seeing just 10 receptions for 137 yards and no touchdowns over his previous four games combined, Williams re-emerged in Week 11 and finished the game with 5 receptions for 97 yards and a touchdown. The majority of his production came on the game-winning play though, which was a bit of a breakdown in coverage, so it's worth noting that it doesn't appear as though the Chargers made a concerted effort to feed Williams the ball. With Ekeler and Allen being the key focal points of this offense, Williams is always going to be vying for the leftovers and that makes him a very difficult evaluation in fantasy. He can be viewed as a low-end WR2 this week due to his upside, but fantasy managers need to be prepared for the possibility that he ends the week outside the top-40.
|
|
39.
George Kittle
TE - SF (vs . MIN)
Do you remember when Kittle didn't score touchdowns? Over the last three games, Kittle has scored in each contest and he's finished the week as a top-5 fantasy option in all of them. There are very few options at the TE position where we can say, "Set them and forget them", but Kittle is certainly in that conversation. Fire him up with confidence yet again here.
|
|
40.
Damien Harris
RB - NE (vs . TEN)
Harris made the quick turnaround in Week 11 to play on Thursday night after being in the league's concussion protocol and he looked impressive in the process, as he usually does. Harris had 10 carries for 56 yards and no score, while adding one reception for nine yards in a game that was essentially out of hand from kickoff. While those numbers would be fine in a vacuum, it's worth noting that he finished with less carries than Stevenson in this backfield and had a 39% snap count share to Stevenson's 34% and Brandon Bolden's 27%. While the fact that Harris missed practice leading up to last week's game could have played a role in his limited usage, it's unclear whether or not that's here to stay. In this matchup against Tennessee, we could see a near-even split yet again for the Patriots backfield. If that's the case, Harris needs to be viewed as a high-end RB3.

Mark Andrews
TE - BAL (vs . CLE)
It says a lot about the quality of the player when the backup QB can step in late in the week and the production stays the same. Andrews reeled in eight of his 10 targets last week for 73 yards and he ended the week as the TE6 in Half PPR scoring. With Jackson back now, we should expect Andrews to continue his top-tier production and there are very few options at the position that we should consider starting over him in our lineups. Andrews can be viewed as a top-5 option yet again this week.

|
42.
Javonte Williams
RB - DEN (vs . LAC)
Is there a possibility that the Broncos come out of their bye week and choose to feature Williams in this backfield? While it seems unlikely based on everything we've seen from the Broncos this year, fantasy managers can dream, can't they? Regardless of what the touch split might look like this week between Williams and Gordon, we could be in line for a big performance here from the rookie RB. The Chargers are allowing the most rushing yards per contest to opposing RBs this season and that's still with taking into account Najee Harris' down performance from last week. In addition to a shocking 119.9 rushing yards per game, they're also allowing 1.3 rushing touchdowns per week as well. We could easily see Williams and Gordon both find the end zone here, which makes Williams a mid-range/low-end RB2 play with upside.
|
|
43.
Tee Higgins
WR - CIN (vs . PIT)
Higgins started out the year on fire, but he certainly hasn't lived up to everyone's lofty expectations here recently. Higgins hasn't found the end zone since Week 2 against Chicago and he has yet to finish a game with more than 12 Half PPR points over that same time frame. While he still fills a crucial role for the Bengals - and he's seeing a healthy snap count share - it just hasn't clicked for him recently to put up the dominant production we had come to know and appreciate. The Bengals should be forced to throw the ball more this week than they did in Week 11, which will open up some opportunity for Higgins, but we do have to downgrade him slightly. He can be viewed as a low-end WR2 this week against the Steelers secondary that's allowing the 8th-most fantasy points to opposing WRs.
|
|
44.
Kyle Pitts
TE - ATL (at JAC)
Pitts continues to struggle with Falcons WR Calvin Ridley out indefinitely and opponents giving Pitts their full defensive attention. In his last four games, the rookie has 12-164-0 on 25 targets. Still, the ceiling remains lofty. Pitts is the TE4 this week. He's not a good value at $6,100 on DraftKings but might be worth consideration in GPPs simply because he's one of the few tight ends capable of a 100-yard, two-TD game.
|
|
45.
Marquise Brown
WR - BAL (vs . CLE)
At the time of writing, there hasn't been many updates on Brown's injury status and whether or not he'll be ready to roll for Week 12 against the Browns. If he does suit up, Brown will be a borderline top-12 play against the Browns defense that's middle of the pack against opposing WRs. This game could quickly become smash-mouth football and each team could want to rely on their ground game, but Brown comes with enough upside to deserve top-tier consideration if does suit up. We'll continue to update with more information as the game gets closer.
|
|
46.
Brandin Cooks
WR - HOU (vs . NYJ)
The player who most embodies the definition of consistency in fantasy football at the WR position disappointed this last week, but this was a bizarre game-script for Houston that they're unlikely to find themselves in most weeks moving forward. Cooks quite frankly wasn't needed and it resulted in a lower statistical output than what he has been used to getting in previous weeks. This matchup against New York is about as good as they come for opposing wideouts though, so we should be plugging Cooks right back into our lineups as a low-end WR2 with some upside this week.
|
|
47.
Myles Gaskin
RB - MIA (vs . CAR)
Gaskin is no fantasy savior, but his touch volume has been bankable, giving him steady RB2 value. Over his last five games, Gaskin has 84-257-1 rushing and 17-73-2 receiving. That works out to 20.2 touches a game. His offensive line is terrible and his own talents are modest, so Gaskin is tied for RB19 in fantasy scoring over that stretch. But again, RB2 value based on bankable volume is what Gaskin investors have been getting, and that's not bad. Gaskin is the RB21 this week against a quality Carolina defense. The Dolphins signed Phillip Lindsay this week, but it's not clear if he'll play this week, and he's unlikely to have a substantial role if he does.
|
|
48.
Melvin Gordon III
RB - DEN (vs . LAC)
While fantasy managers have been frustrated that Gordon and Javonte Williams remain locked up in a 50/50 split, Gordon still has been a very valuable fantasy asset. He's finished inside the top-30 RBs on the week in each of his previous five games and he has two top-10 performances during that stretch. Now, the Broncos get to take on the defense that is allowing the most rushing yards per game with 119.9. The Chargers are allowing an average of 21.0 fantasy points per contest and we could see Denver completely commit to the run game in this one, which would mean good things for Gordon. He can be viewed as a low-end RB2 with upside this week.
|
|
49.
Elijah Mitchell
RB - SF (vs . MIN)
At the time of writing, it's unclear whether or not Mitchell will be able to return for this matchup against the Vikings. He's currently listed as day-to-day, which implies optimism that he'll return, but we'll need to monitor the practice reports as we get closer to kickoff. If Mitchell is healthy enough to play, we know that he'll receive the majority of the work in this backfield. At that point, Mitchell becomes a mid-range/low-end RB2 simply based off of volume. His health record hasn't been the greatest so far this season, which we have to take into account when projecting him, but he should see enough volume to be a solid play this week.
|
|
50.
Jaylen Waddle
WR - MIA (vs . CAR)
The continued absence of WRs DeVante Parker (hamstring) and Will Fuller (finger) have meant a target bonanza for Waddle. The rookie from Alabama has seen 57 targets over his last six games - a 23.9% target share. All that volume hasn't exactly led to an avalanche of fantasy points, however. Waddle is averaging 6.9 yards per target over his last six games, and he hasn't scored a touchdown since finding the end zone twice against the Jaguars in London in Week 6. Waddle hasn't topped 83 receiving yards in a game this season. He's a high-end WR3 this week against the Panthers, and I'm not especially drawn to him in DraftKings contests at $5,900.
|
|
51.
DeVonta Smith
WR - PHI (at NYG)
Over their last four games, the Eagles have run the ball on 67% of their offensive plays. Smith has seen just 21 targets over that span, though he's made the most of them, with 14-258-3 receiving. He's been the WR16 over that stretch thanks to hyper-efficiency: Smith has averaged 12.3 yards per target over those four games, and 21.4% of his catches have gone for touchdowns. It will be difficult if not impossible for Smith to maintain that sort of efficiency, but it also seems unlikely that the Eagles will continue to run the ball like a team that plays in the Big Ten rather than the NFC East. Smith is a low-end WR2 this week against the Giants. Fade him in DraftKings at $6,400.
|
|
52.
Rhamondre Stevenson
RB - NE (vs . TEN)
Stevenson has had a wacky season up to this point that has involved him being a healthy scratch in some games to finishing with 25 fantasy points in others. It's clear at this point though that Stevenson has earned himself a role in this Patriots offense and he's now working his way into the weekly starter conversation for fantasy football. We don't know exactly what the carry split is going to be like in this matchup where Harris and Stevenson will both be healthy, but Stevenson should at least see enough work to be a viable fill-in option for lineups that are in need at the RB position. He can be viewed as a mid-range RB3 this week.
|
|
53.
Darnell Mooney
WR - CHI (at DET)
Mooney had a whopping 16 targets this past week against Baltimore and he showed that he can be a WR1 for a NFL team if called upon. Despite the Bears not getting much done on offense, Mooney was able to end the week with 121 yards on five receptions and a touchdown. This total was enough to lead to the highest fantasy point total of Mooney's young career and he's now put together dominant back-to-back performances. (In fact, the past two games are Mooney's two highest fantasy totals ever) In a matchup this week against the Lions defense that seemingly can't slow down anyone at the WR position, Mooney belongs back in starting lineups as a mid-range/low-end WR2 with upside.
|
|
54.
Chase Claypool
WR - PIT (at CIN)
Claypool wasn't expected to do much in Week 11 as he worked his way back from injury, but he came out and put up an impressive performance against the Chargers. Claypool finished with five receptions for 93 yards on nine targets and he ended the week as the WR26 in Half PPR scoring. Looking ahead to Week 12, it's a tough matchup on paper for Claypool and the Steelers WRs, but there's enough upside with Claypool's skillset to make him an intriguing fantasy option. He can be viewed as a high-end WR3 against the Bengals.
|
|
55.
Devonta Freeman
RB - BAL (vs . CLE)
Freeman got the job done for fantasy football yet again last week, despite the downgrade at QB to Tyler Huntley and Latavius Murray's return. Freeman has this RB1 job locked down in Baltimore now and he's a solid fantasy option each week because of it. The offense should bounce back this week with Lamar back at QB and the scoring opportunities might increase in a matchup against the Browns defense that's allowing .7 rushing touchdowns per game on average to the position. Freeman should be viewed as a high-end RB3 with upside if he can bring one in for six this week.
|
|
56.
Elijah Moore
WR - NYJ (at HOU)
Did you know that from Weeks 8-11, Moore is the WR2 in fantasy football only behind Deebo Samuel? He's averaging a shocking 17.9 Half PPR points per game and has a very impressive 85.0 PFF Offensive Grade during that time frame. It hasn't quite mattered who's been playing QB for the Jets, Moore has simply produced regardless. There are reasons to be concerned about Moore's continued ascension now though that Zach Wilson is back at QB. It could have been that Moore was getting acclimated to the NFL game, but Moore was the WR116 through the first five weeks of the season when Wilson was the full-time starter. It seems crazy to say, but if we didn't have the No. 2 overall pick in at QB for the Jets, we might be ranking Moore as a top-24 WR this week. However, we need to exercise caution and view him as a mid-range WR3 this week that has a wide range of outcomes.
|
|
57.
Brandon Aiyuk
WR - SF (vs . MIN)
Don't look now, but Aiyuk has posted two top-12 performances over the past three weeks! With Deebo essentially acting as a Running Back here recently, Aiyuk has become the de facto WR1 for the 49ers and he's delivering. While fantasy managers will argue that he would have been producing the entire season if he had been given the main opportunity, that's a different conversation for a different day. Looking ahead to Week 12, the Vikings are allowing a staggering 26.1 fantasy points to opposing WRs this season and Aiyuk belongs in starting lineups because of it. He can be viewed as a low-end WR2/high-end WR3 with upside.
|
|
58.
Dalton Schultz
TE - DAL (vs . LV)
All eyes were on Schultz last week with Cooper out of the lineup and he did come through with a decent performance. He saw a 19% target share in Week 11 and that resulted in six receptions for 53 yards and no score. With CeeDee Lamb potentially out for this matchup as well, we could see an even higher target share for Schultz this week and he should be right back in starting lineups as a mid-range/low-end TE1. Las Vegas is allowing the 5th-most fantasy points to opposing TEs this season and Schultz is going to have every opportunity to soak up targets yet again.
|
|
59.
Tony Pollard
RB - DAL (vs . LV)
Pollard was forced to step up last week for a decent stretch of the game with Zeke on the sideline battling a knee injury and he delivered solid production with that limited opportunity. The Dallas offense wasn't able to do much, which limited Pollard's touch totals, but he was still highly effective. For this Week 12 matchup against Las Vegas, we should have Zeke back and healthy and that will move Pollard back to his complimentary role. With so many other key injuries at the RB position in fantasy, plus some crucial bye weeks, Pollard might have to be placed into your starting lineup this week. If that is the case, he can be viewed as a high-end RB3 in a favorable matchup against the Raiders defense.
|
|
60.
Jerry Jeudy
WR - DEN (vs . LAC)
In the previous two games before the Broncos' bye, Jeudy had seen an impressive 17 targets. While that didn't amount to a ton of fantasy production, it's encouraging to see that he has the No. 1 WR job in Denver locked down. Unfortunately, that role isn't likely to lead to top-tier production with the mixture of QB play, the surplus of receiving options in town, and the team's commitment to the run game. Jeudy is going to bring a safe floor each and every week that he's in the lineup, but the upside simply isn't going to be there. In a game this week where we could see Denver focus solely in on taking advantage of the plus matchup on the ground, Jeudy might not even see 6+ targets here. It's best to view the star receiver as a high-end/mid-range WR3 and that's about it.
|
|
61.
Ty Johnson
RB - NYJ (at HOU)
With Michael Carter set to miss the next couple of weeks, the Jets should turn to Johnson and Tevin Coleman to help keep their offense moving. While Johnson stands to be the biggest beneficiary with Carter out of the lineup, we can't immediately plug him into Carter's spot in fantasy lineups and expect the same level of production. This is likely going to be a 50/50 split in this backfield and the offense doesn't exactly figure to be high-powered with Wilson returning to action. Johnson can be viewed as a mid-range/low-end RB3.
|
|
62.
Alex Collins
RB - SEA (at WAS)
Chris Carson's neck injury is going to keep him out for the balance of the year, so Collins, Travis Homer, DeeJay Dallas and perhaps the oft-injured (and currently injured) Rashaad Penny will divide work in the Seattle backfield. Collins is the only one worth considering for fantasy this week. He's had double-digit carries in seven consecutive games, although he's had exactly 10 carries in three straight. Collins has been held under 45 rushing yards in each of his last four games. He's had only two catches and no touchdowns over that span, so he hasn't produced much fantasy value over the last month. He's a midrange RB3 this week.
|
|
63.
Rob Gronkowski
TE - TB (at IND)
Returning from a back injury, Gronk played 46 snaps against the Giants in Week 11 and had 6-71-0 on eight targets. Technically, Gronkowski played in Week 8, but he was only on the field for six snaps, so this was really his first significant action since Week 3. Gronk opened the season with a pair of two-TD games. We know what sort of impact he can have even at age 32 and what sort of chemistry he has with QB Tom Brady. Gronk is the TE10 this week.
|
|
64.
Courtland Sutton
WR - DEN (vs . LAC)
Jerry Jeudy returned to the Broncos lineup in Week 8. Since that point, Sutton has seen just a 10.8% team target share and has put up a total of 12 fantasy points. He's quickly approaching the territory where we can't really trust him from a fantasy perspective, which is disappointing due to the talent level he possesses. Even though he just secured a big contract from the Broncos, it's not worth the risk of starting him in this matchup for him just to continue doing what he's been doing over the past few games. Sutton is a high-end FLEX option at best.
|
|
65.
Rashod Bateman
WR - BAL (vs . CLE)
Bateman took a step backward this past week against Chicago, but that was to be expected with the QB downgrade to Huntley. With Jackson back - plus Marquise Brown assumedly back as well - Bateman belongs right back in starting lineups as a solid mid-range WR3 with upside. The Browns defense is middle of the pack in defending opposing wideouts and Bateman has been incredibly consistent when Jackson's throwing him the ball. He can be started with confidence this week.
|
|
66.
Mike Gesicki
TE - MIA (vs . CAR)
The TE2 in fantasy scoring from Week 3 through Week 7, Gesicki has cooled off lately. Over his last four games, he's had 12-152-0, making him the TE15 in half-point PPR scoring over that stretch. Gesicki is a midrange TE1 against the Panthers.
|
|
67.
Marvin Jones Jr.
WR - JAC (vs . ATL)
The Jaguars' passing game just isn't providing much fantasy value, so Jones' status as Jacksonville's No. 1 receiver doesn't mean much. He's scored one touchdown in his last eight games and has only topped 35 receiving yards twice in his last seven games. Jones is just a low-end R3 this week, but he has some upside thanks to an individual matchup against flammable Falcons CB A.J. Terrell. Jones is an intriguing GPP play at $5,30 on DraftKings.
|
|
68.
Tony Jones Jr.
RB - NO (vs . BUF)
Alvin Kamara will miss another game with a knee injury, and Ingram is dealing with a knee injury of his own. Ingram practiced in a limited capacity on Wednesday. Jones, who just played his first game since Week 4 after recovering from an ankle injury, would be ticketed for a heavy workload if Ingram couldn't answer the bell, although significant touch volume wouldn't necessarily mean worthwhile fantasy numbers. The Saints face the Bills, and the Buffalo run defense has been tough this year aside from maulings by Derrick Henry and Jonathan Taylor. Henry ran for 143 yards and three touchdowns against Buffalo in Week 6, and Taylor trampled the Bills for 204 total yards and five touchdowns last week. Monitor this situation carefully in the run-up to this Thanksgiving-night affair.
|
|
69.
Tevin Coleman
RB - NYJ (at HOU)
Coleman should see an uptick in work with Michael Carter out now for the next couple of weeks, but we know who the veteran RB is now at this point of his career. Coleman can be plugged into starting lineups as a low-end RB3 and that's pretty much it, unfortunately.
|
|
70.
Dallas Goedert
TE - PHI (at NYG)
Since Zach Ertz was traded from the Eagles to the Cardinals in late October, he's averaged 11.3 fantasy points per game (0.5 PPR), while Goedert has averaged 7.8. In fairness to Goedert, the Eagles have only attempted passes on 33% of their offensive snaps over the last four weeks, and such minimal pass volume limits scoring opportunities. Goedert has actually enjoyed a massive 29.5% target share over Philly's last four games, resulting in 16-205-0 on 23 targets. As Andrew Erickson notes, Goedert's 31% target rate per route run leads all receivers and tight ends over the last four weeks. Unfortunately, Goedert hasn't scored a touchdown since Oct. 3. He's the TE8 this week.
|
|
71.
T.J. Hockenson
TE - DET (vs . CHI)
After seeing just one target in Week 10, Hockenson got back to being a focal point of the receiving game against Cleveland last week. Hockenson posted six receptions on eight targets for 51 yards with an impressive 2.43 Yards Per Route Run metric. He hasn't delivered the top-tier numbers like many were projecting coming into the year, but he's still a very valuable fantasy asset at the TE position. Through 11 weeks now, Hockenson is averaging 9.1 Fantasy Points Per Game and is the TE8 overall on the season. Against the Bears defense that's a top-7 unit in defending opposing TEs from a fantasy perspective, Hockenson should be viewed as a mid-range/low-end TE1.
|
|
72.
Hunter Renfrow
WR - LV (at DAL)
Here in recent weeks, Renfrow has been nothing short of spectacular for fantasy purposes. In the three games prior to Week 11, Renfrow had finished as the WR34, the WR14, and the WR10 respectively. However, he went quiet last week against the Cincinnati Bengals and saw just a 16% target share. He was able to reel in all four of his targets, but just for 30 yards and no touchdown. The Raiders offense has been struggling as of late and Carr hasn't looked like his normal self, which could play a role in Renfrow's dip in production this past week. Regardless, Renfrow belongs right back in your starting lineup this week against Dallas. The Cowboys are allowing an average of 21.4 fantasy points per game to opposing WRs and the Raiders should be focused in on making sure Renfrow's more of a key part to their passing game this week. He can be viewed as a mid-range WR3 in Week 12.
|
|
73.
Dawson Knox
TE - BUF (at NO)
When Knox returned to the Bills' lineup in Week 10 after missing two games with a broken hand, he caught his only target for 17 yards against the Jets. In Week 11, he had a season-high 10 targets in a loss to the Colts and finished with 6-80-0. Knox has been one of 2021's more pleasant surprises at the TE position, and it was good to see him get back into a groove last week post-injury. He's back in TE1 range this week, checking in at TE11. Knox is priced at $4,400 on DraftKings, and there are better buys at tight end.
|
|
74.
Emmanuel Sanders
WR - BUF (at NO)
Over his first five games, Sanders averaged 13.3 fantasy points per (0.5 PPR). Over his last five games, he's averaged 6.1 fantasy points. Sanders has averaged just 29.5 receiving yards over his last four games and hasn't scored a touchdown since Week 5. Sanders is likely to see Saints CB Marshon Lattimore on a good number of his snaps Thursday. Manny is a low-end WR3 this week.
|
|
75.
Jeff Wilson Jr.
RB - SF (vs . MIN)
Wilson didn't come through for fantasy managers in the way that many were expecting last week, but he was one errant pass away from reeling in a touchdown that would have changed everyone's opinion. There is the potential that Elijah Mitchell returns this week for the 49ers, which would send Wilson back to fantasy benches, but we won't have that clarity until later on in the week. If Mitchell doesn't play, Wilson would be a solid plug-and-play option against the Vikings defense that's allowing the 10th-most fantasy points to opposing RBs. He can be viewed as a mid-range/low-end RB2 if Mitchell doesn't suit up.
|
|
76.
Corey Davis
WR - NYJ (at HOU)
Davis saw an impressive 20% target share in Week 11, but it only resulted in three receptions for 35 yards. The spinning carousel of QBs for New York certainly hasn't helped Davis get into a rhythm this year, but he's going to have back the QB that helped his fantasy value the most at the beginning of the season. From Weeks 1-7, Davis had a 20.2% team target share and he was averaging 11.8 fantasy points per game during that stretch. He's averaged just 7.4 fantasy points per game in his two games without Wilson and he should be excited to get the rookie QB back behind center. With Moore's emergence as a viable fantasy asset, we can't confidently rank Davis as anything more than a mid-range WR3, but there is at least some optimism heading into this plus matchup.
|
|
77.
Odell Beckham Jr.
WR - LAR (at GB)
Beckham played only 15 snaps in his Rams debut and had 2-18-0 on three targets in a Week 10 loss to the 49ers. A lot of people are optimistic that OBJ can return to something close to his old form in a potent Rams passing game. It's worth remembering, however, that Beckham has been dealing with injuries to both shoulders and may not be fully healthy again for the rest of the season. Beckham also has to process a new system and get in sync with QB Matthew Stafford, though perhaps the bye week helped with that. Beckham lands at WR41 in this week's rankings.
|
|
78.
Jakobi Meyers
WR - NE (vs . TEN)
Did you know that Meyers has finished inside the top-36 WRs just twice over the last seven games? He's providing a high floor for fantasy managers each week and is consistently hovering around the WR40-WR48 range, but there's very little upside with Meyers now that other receiving options have taken steps forward in this offense. Coming into the year, Meyers had some appeal as a fantasy asset due to the fact that Agholor and Bourne were unknown commodities. However, we've seen both of those receivers settle into their roles in this New England offense recently and Meyers' target share is taking a hit because of it. With very little scoring upside, Meyers should be viewed as a mid-range FLEX play week in and week out.
|
|
79.
Pat Freiermuth
TE - PIT (at CIN)
Freiermuth didn't put up ridiculous yardage totals in Week 11, but he saved his fantasy day by finding the end zone. While it's concerning to see his Receiving Routes Run drop from 33 to 23 last week, he still managed to see a 15.9% target share and this offense is proving that it has enough firepower still to be effective. It's worth monitoring Eric Ebron's status as well heading into this matchup as he left last week's game with a knee injury. If Ebron is out, Freiermuth should be bumped up the TE rankings slightly. Regardless, he can be viewed as a low-end TE1 that stands a very good chance of finding the end zone yet again. Update: Ebron is expected to miss significant time with his knee injury. Freiermuth can be viewed as a top-10 TE moving forward.
|
|
80.
Van Jefferson
WR - LAR (at GB)
It will be interesting to see how impactful Jefferson can be the rest of the way. In the Rams' first game after the season-ending injury to Robert Woods, Jefferson was targeted seven times and had 3-54-0 in a loss to the 49ers. He's been targeted at least six times in each of his last four games, and there might be even greater target upside for Jefferson with Woods out for the year. Jefferson is a low-end WR3 this week against the Packers.
|
|
81.
Marquez Valdes-Scantling
WR - GB (vs . LAR)
MVS is a home run specialist, and he hit one out of the park last week, connecting with Aaron Rodgers on a 75-yard touchdown with just over two minutes left in the game. Valdes-Scantling finished with 4-123-1 on 10 targets. The epitome of a boom-or-bust receiver, Valdes-Scantling checks in as a low-end WR4 this week against the Rams.
|
|
82.
Jarvis Landry
WR - CLE (at BAL)
Landry was able to score on a broken play last week as a runner, but otherwise he has done very little here recently to warrant fantasy consideration. Even in a matchup that looks good on paper, Landry shouldn't be viewed as anything more than a low-upside FLEX play against the Ravens.
|
|
83.
Kendrick Bourne
WR - NE (vs . TEN)
Bourne has been a fairly reliable fantasy option over the past two weeks, but there's a difference between being reliable and predictable. Bourne has just four targets in each of the past two games and that's not going to be enough to put him squarely in the conversation for a trustworthy FLEX play week in and week out. He has plenty of upside, as we've seen the past two games, but there's also a very low floor so we shouldn't view him as anything more than a low-end FLEX option against the Titans.
|
|
84.
Cole Beasley
WR - BUF (at NO)
Over a three-game stretch from Week 6 to Week 9, Beasley was targeted 33 times and had 25-231-1 receiving. Over his last two games, Beasley has 6-38-0 on seven targets. It just so happens that Bills TE Dawson Knox returned from a broken hand two weeks ago, coinciding with the start of Beasley's downturn. Wait for a "prove it" game from Beasley before reinserting him into your lineup. He's a low-end WR4 this week against the Saints.
|
|
85.
Tyler Boyd
WR - CIN (vs . PIT)
One of Boyd's main draws in draft season was his assumed consistency. He might not bring tremendous upside each week, especially with Chase now in town, but he was at least going to be someone that fantasy managers could rely on to bring a safe floor game in and game out. Unfortunately, that consistency from Boyd really has not been there this season and he's been a frustrating player to roster in redraft leagues. In Week 8 against the Jets, Boyd was the WR13 in Half PPR formats. However, he followed that up with a WR85 finish in Week 9 against Cleveland and then just ended the week as the WR31 in Week 11. With Chase dominating the production, it's essentially Boyd and Higgins left battling for the leftovers in this Bengals offense and that makes it incredibly difficult to predict who is going to have the solid game. In this favorable matchup against the Steelers, Boyd can be viewed as a low-end WR3. However, we have to recognize that there's the potential that all the production goes to the other receivers and Boyd's left out in the cold.

Cedrick Wilson Jr.
WR - DAL (vs . LV)
Wilson was plenty involved this past week with Cooper out and Lamb exiting the game early. He saw seven targets, but he was only able to reel in four of them for 36 yards as he was credited with two drops. Wilson at least becomes an intriguing fantasy option this week if Lamb is forced to miss this contest due to a concussion, but we do need to temper our expectations. This offense isn't the same without Cooper and Lamb and we could see Gallup and Dalton Schultz take center stage. If Lamb is out, Wilson at least enters low-end FLEX consideration. However, if Lamb does end up suiting up, it's probably best to leave Wilson on your bench.

Laviska Shenault Jr.
WR - JAC (vs . ATL)
It's possible that Shenault gets a value bump now that Jaguars WR Jamal Agnew is out for the season, but we thought the same when the Jags lost WR D.J. Chark for the season weeks ago. Shenault hasn't scored a touchdown all season and hasn't exceeded 50 receiving yards since Week 6. He's just a back-end WR4 this week vs. the Falcons.

89.
Noah Fant
TE - DEN (vs . LAC)
One of the big hangups with Fant coming into draft season was what his consistency was going to be with so many other mouths to feed in this Broncos offense. Now with Jeudy, Patrick, Sutton, Williams, Gordon, and Okwuegbunam all healthy, there are major questions surrounding Fant and what his target share is going to be. While the Chargers matchup is enticing on paper - they've given up the second-most fantasy points to opposing TEs this season - it's important to take notice of who all they've played this year. They've had a slew of tough matchups at the position with very talented players and it's quite shocking that they're only allowing 11.1 fantasy points per game. Fant is a risky play this week due to the possibility that Denver chooses to lean on their run game and we need to downgrade him for it. He can be viewed as a high-end TE2.
|
|
90.
Kenny Golladay
WR - NYG (vs . PHI)
In his first year with the Giants, Golladay has 20-322-0 in seven games. In his last three games, he's had 3-40-0 on eight targets. That's not exactly impact production from a receiver who was signed to a four-year, $72 million contract this spring. Golladay lands at WR54 in this week's rankings and is barely on the radar in redraft leagues.
|
|
91.
Tim Patrick
WR - DEN (vs . LAC)
Patrick just got paid by the Broncos and will be in Denver for the foreseeable future, and we could certainly be talking about him as a viable fantasy asset next season if the Broncos upgrade at QB, but it's important to temper expectations heading into this matchup. The Chargers are allowing the second-fewest fantasy points to opposing WRs this year and it could be tough sledding for the Broncos pass-catchers. Patrick is nothing more than a mid-range FLEX option for Week 12.
|
|
92.
Latavius Murray
RB - BAL (vs . CLE)
Murray returned to the lineup this last week and instantly saw 10 carries in his first game back. While he didn't do much with the opportunity from an efficiency standpoint - only 3.2 Yards Per Attempt - he at least saw enough volume to put himself back on the redraft radar. In a week where many fantasy managers are struggling with injuries and bye weeks, Murray is a fine fill-in option in a matchup that doesn't look terrible on paper. He can be viewed as a mid-range/low-end RB3.
|
|
93.
David Johnson
RB - HOU (vs . NYJ)
Johnson saw a decent amount of work last week in a positive game-script, but he did next to nothing with his opportunity. Johnson is simply not even worth looking at in redraft leagues anymore, despite the plus matchup.
|
|
94.
Boston Scott
RB - PHI (at NYG)
As noted in the Jalen Hurts report above, Eagles running backs have averaged 30.8 carries a game since Week 8. When that run-heavy stretch began, Sanders was out with an ankle injury, and it was Scott and Jordan Howard shouldering the rushing load, with a minor assist from rookie Kenneth Gainwell. Now, Sanders is back in a starting role, and Howard is going to miss Philly's Week 12 game against the Giants with a knee injury. Last week, in his first game since Week 7, Sanders had 16-94-0 rushing but wasn't targeted in the passing game. Scott has had 46-221-3 rushing and 5-31-0 receiving since becoming a regular in the Eagles' RB rotation in Week 7. The Giants are a favorable matchup for the run-happy Eagles, giving up 21.7 fantasy points per game to running backs. Sanders is a midrange RB2 this week with some DraftKings appeal at a cost-efficient $5,100. Scott is a midrange RB3.
|
|
95.
Tre'Quan Smith
WR - NO (vs . BUF)
Smith has 9-108-1 over his last two games. He's seen 15 targets over those two contests, amounting to a healthy 19.7% target share. The growing role is encouraging, but Smith hasn't topped 64 receiving yards in any of the five games he's played in 2021. He's a high-end WR5 against the Bills.
|
|
96.
Jamison Crowder
WR - NYJ (at HOU)
It's seemingly every week that we talk about Crowder on a podcast or write about him in an article saying that he's one of the most consistent players in fantasy football. He might not bring tremendous upside, but you know what you're going to get every single time that you play him. Last week was no exception and he produced for fantasy managers that plugged him into their starting lineups as a FLEX option with a 6-44-1 stat line. While he saw his snap count percentage decrease to just 57% last week - and Moore's increased to 67% - he still came through with a solid day and finished the week as a top-24 WR. With that being said, Wilson coming back to start at QB for the Jets has to make us at least hesitant in plugging him back into our lineups as a rock-solid option. It's a plus matchup for the Jets, but Wilson has struggled when he's been asked to captain the ship for the Jets offensively this season. Crowder needs to be downgraded slightly to a low-end FLEX play that has a wide range of outcomes.
|
|
97.
Hunter Henry
TE - NE (vs . TEN)
Before last week, Henry had scored at least once in six of the previous seven games for the Patriots. While he hadn't been posting impressive yardage totals throughout that stretch, he was at least a viable fantasy option because of his propensity to find the end zone. However, fantasy managers got a taste of what Henry's production is like when he doesn't take one in for six last week against Atlanta as he posted just two receptions for 25 yards. Moving forward, Henry will need to be viewed as a high-end TE2 each week that is a complete touchdown-or-bust option.
|
|
98.
Nelson Agholor
WR - NE (vs . TEN)
Agholor was able to take advantage of a breakdown in coverage this past week and find the end zone, but that doesn't mean we should instantly put him on the redraft radar. Agholor had finished as the WR49, the WR123, and the WR68 the three weeks prior. There's simply not enough yardage volume in this offense to go around for Agholor to be a consistent FLEX play, which means that Agholor should remain on your league's waiver wire unless you are absolutely desperate.
|
|
99.
Tyler Higbee
TE - LAR (at GB)
Will Higbee get a target bump with WR Robert Woods out for the season? We didn't see it in the Rams' first game without Woods in Week 10, when Higbee had 3-20-1 on five targets in a loss to the 49ers, but the Niners have the stingiest TE defense in the league. Higbee at least managed to score a touchdown that game, his first since Week 5. We may get a better indication of whether there's a target boost coming for Higbee when he faces the Packers this weekend in Green Bay. Consider Higbee a high-end TE2 for that one.
|
|
100.
Dan Arnold
TE - JAC (vs . ATL)
After a consistent three-game run in which he amassed 17-195-0 on 25 targets, Arnold ran aground in Week 11, going catch-less and target-less against the 49ers. His bid for inclusion in TE1 range may have stalled, but Arnold is still an upper-end TE2.
|
|
101.
J.D. McKissic
RB - WAS (vs . SEA)
|
|
102.
Devin Singletary
RB - BUF (at NO)
It was hard enough to squeeze value out of this backfield when it was Singletary and Moss sharing work. Now Breida has crashed the party, making the Buffalo RB situation even more inscrutable. The Bills ran 56 offensive plays against the Colts in Week 11. Singletary led the RBs in snaps with 21, Breida had 18, and Moss had 16. Breida had five carries for 51 yards, while Singletary and Moss had three carries each. Don't wade into this backfield in Week 11, either in season-long leagues or DFS. The division of labor is too unpredictable, and the Bills face a Saints defense that's yielding 89.8 rushing yards per game and 3.4 yards per carry.
|
|
103.
Marquez Callaway
WR - NO (vs . BUF)
Callaway has scored a touchdown in three consecutive games, but TDs have been the only source of fantasy value for him lately. During his three-game TD streak, Callaway has had 14 targets, six catches, and 88 receiving yards. He's been held to 37 or fewer yards in each of his last five games. Callaway's modest target/catch volume is concerning, and on Thursday he's going to run most of his routes against Bills CB Tre'Davious White, one of the top cover men in the league. Callaway is the WR53 this week. At $5,000 on DraftKings, he offers only contrarian appeal.
|
|
104.
T.Y. Hilton
WR - IND (vs . TB)
It's hard to trust Hilton for fantasy purposes these days. He's had 5-47-0 on 12 targets in his last three games. Against the Bills in Week 11, Hilton played only 28 snaps. He's a low-end WR5.
|
|
105.
Bryan Edwards
WR - LV (at DAL)
Unfortunately, there's very little incentive at this point to holding onto Edwards on your fantasy roster, let alone considering playing him. He has the big play potential as a FLEX option, but the target volume isn't there for him to be viewed as a reliable threat. In an offense that's struggling to put up points on the board, Edwards can't be trusted in starting lineups this week. He should remain on your bench or your league's waiver wire.
|
|
106.
Kenyan Drake
RB - LV (at DAL)
There were a few games from weeks 6-9 where it looked like Drake was set to be a reliable RB2 alongside Jacobs in this backfield, but that optimism has taken a complete nose dive over the past two weeks. Drake has finished as the RB46 and RB45 each of the past two games in Half PPR scoring and he's seen just 12 total touches over that time span. In a tougher matchup for opposing RBs against Dallas this week, it's probably best to leave Drake on your bench. He can be viewed as a low-end RB3/high-end RB4 this week.
|
|
107.
Kareem Hunt
RB - CLE (at BAL)
|
|
108.
Nick Westbrook-Ikhine
WR - TEN (at NE)
At the time of writing, it looks like the Titans' offense might have Westbrook-Ikhine as their only reliable receiving option for this week against the Patriots. With Julio Jones on IR, Marcus Johnson battling a hamstring injury, and AJ Brown dealing with a rib injury, Westbrook-Ikhine is the last man standing in this offense. While that resulted in 107 receiving yards this past week after AJB and Johnson left the game, he has a much tougher task in front of him this week with the Patriots defense that's playing dominant football recently. If you are in an absolute pinch, Westbrook-Ikhine is a decent fill-in option due to the projected target share that he'll see in this offense. However, the Patriots could simply take him away and force Tannehill to beat them with someone else. He's a risky low-end FLEX play at best this week.
|
|
109.
Russell Gage
WR - ATL (at JAC)
With Calvin Ridley out indefinitely, Gage is the Falcons' No. 1 receiver by default. That doesn't mean much for fantasy though. Over his last five games, Gage has 16-180-1 and has twice been held without a single catch. He's a midrange WR5 and a desperation play only in season-long leagues.
|
|
110.
Robby Anderson
WR - CAR (at MIA)
Anderson had 5-30-0 last week in Cam Newton's first start of the season, and he's had 9-67-1 on 12 targets over the last two weeks. The signs of life are encouraging, but Anderson hasn't hit 40 receiving yards in a game since Week 4 and is still working his way back into the circle of trust. He lands at WR62 this week.
|
|
111.
Kadarius Toney
WR - NYG (vs . PHI)
If you have any designs on using Toney in fantasy this week, you'll have to monitor his status. He sustained a quad contusion in the Giants' Monday-night loss to the Buccaneers and wasn't practicing as of Wednesday. Toney was targeted four 12 times against the Buccaneers, but the vast majority of those targets were within a few yards of the line of scrimmage, and he finished with 7-40-0. If healthy, he'll be a midrange WR4 against the Giants.
|
|
112.
Marquise Goodwin
WR - CHI (at DET)
Goodwin was able to come up with what should have been the play of the game last week against Baltimore and he had a solid fantasy outing because of it. With Allen Robinson all but declared out already at the time of writing for this game against Detroit, Goodwin at least deserves consideration as a dart-throw FLEX play. However, we can't trust him as anything more than that at this point.
|
|
113.
Deonte Harris
WR - NO (vs . BUF)
Going into Week 11, Harris had amassed 18-295-1 receiving and 2-28-0 rushing in his previous five games. He had 2-11-0 against the Eagles last week on five targets. Harris can fly, but this is a fragile production profile. He lands at WR59 in the Week 11 rankings.
|
|
114.
Jamaal Williams
RB - DET (vs . CHI)
Williams came back into the lineup this past week against Cleveland and played only 13 snaps to Swift's 35. He saw seven carries, but it resulted in just 11 yards. At this point, Williams is just an insurance policy for Swift and he shouldn't be considered for starting lineups this week.
|
|
115.
DeAndre Carter
WR - WAS (vs . SEA)
Carter isn't playable in fantasy this week unless you're in an extraordinarily deep league, but he's had a touchdown in three straight games and is at least worth monitoring. Over his last three games, Carter has 8-129-3 on 15 targets.
|
|
116.
Rex Burkhead
RB - HOU (vs . NYJ)
Burkhead saw an impressive 18 carries last week for Houston in their blowout win over Tennessee, which was good enough for the 9th most at the RB position in Week 11, but it only resulted in 40 total yards. With no involvement in the receiving game, plus the state of the overall offense he plays in, Burkhead holds very little upside week in and week out. The fact that Phillip Lindsay is no longer in town makes Burkhead a bit more intriguing from a redraft perspective, but you should only be considering him if you are in an absolute pinch. He can be viewed as a low-end RB3 this week.
|
|
117.
D'Onta Foreman
RB - TEN (at NE)
Foreman was hyped up as a solid play last week against Houston, but it wasn't meant to be. Foreman saw just seven carries for 25 yards to Peterson's nine for 40 yards and Hilliard also played a key role in the offense after being elevated from the practice squad. At this point, Foreman's worth holding onto on your bench if you're completely thin at the position, but otherwise he can be dropped if a better option comes available on the waiver wire.
|
|
118.
Amon-Ra St. Brown
WR - DET (vs . CHI)
At this point of the season, St. Brown just might be one of the most underrated and least talked about WRs in the NFL. However, for as talented as he is, there's very little consistency surrounding him from a fantasy perspective due to the QB play. He's routinely making plays and he has the potential to be a valuable fantasy asset down the road, but we cannot trust him yet and he should remain on your bench.
|
|
119.
Tyler Conklin
TE - MIN (at SF)
Conklin does just enough each week to warrant consideration for future matchups in redraft leagues, but he's truly a touchdown-or-bust option. He can be viewed as a mid-range TE2 this week.
|
|
120.
Gabriel Davis
WR - BUF (at NO)
|
|
121.
Dontrell Hilliard
RB - TEN (at NE)
Hilliard worked his way up from the practice squad last week and made his mark on the offense. He logged 63% of the snaps as the pass-catching option out of the backfield and saw 17 total opportunities in his first game action. While it's a very risky play due to the uncertainty surrounding this Titans offense right now, Hilliard could be a decent fill-in option for desperate fantasy managers this week against the Patriots. He can be viewed as a low-end RB3.
|
|
122.
Sammy Watkins
WR - BAL (vs . CLE)
|
|
123.
Randall Cobb
WR - GB (vs . LAR)
Cobb has gone three games without a touchdown and hasn't had more than 50 receiving yards in a game since Week 4. He's also probably going to see Rams CB Jalen Ramsey on at least 10-12 snaps this weekend. Keep Cobb out of your lineups in Week 12.
|
|
124.
Olamide Zaccheaus
WR - ATL (at JAC)
|
|
125.
Evan Engram
TE - NYG (vs . PHI)
Engram had just 2-12-0 on five targets last week against the Buccaneers. He's scored a touchdown in two of his last three games, but he's averaging 29.5 receiving yards a game and is the TE24 in fantasy scoring. At $3,800 on DraftKings, Engram might be worth a shot in GPPs since he'll be facing an Eagles defense that gives up 11.5 fantasy points per game to tight ends. Engram in the TE18 this week.
|
|
126.
Zach Pascal
WR - IND (vs . TB)
|
|
127.
Brandon Bolden
RB - NE (vs . TEN)
Bolden has remained involved enough in this offense to stay on the redraft radar, but he presents virtually no upside due to his skillset. He can remain on your league's waiver wire.
|
|
128.
Cole Kmet
TE - CHI (at DET)
Kmet had started to emerge as a viable fantasy asset finally in this Bears offense prior to Week 11 and it all came crashing back down against the Ravens. Kmet had just two targets and finished with only one reception for 12 yards after putting up a 6-87-0 stat line the week prior. This is a matchup that we should be considering Kmet in, but we simply cannot trust him right now with the state of this offense. Until we see the coaching staff cycle out and the scheme change, Kmet will be nothing more than a volatile play any given week.

Rashard Higgins
WR - CLE (at BAL)

|
132.
Austin Hooper
TE - CLE (at BAL)
Hooper has now seen 12 targets over his last two games and he's becoming more of a necessity in this offense without OBJ on the field. While we still can't trust him as a TE1 or anything close to that, he's an interesting pivot option for fantasy managers that may have Travis Kelce on bye this week. The Ravens are allowing the 5th-most fantasy points to opposing TEs this season and Hooper could continue to see a healthy target share with some of the other receiving options banged up. He can be viewed as a mid-range TE2 this week.
|
|
133.
Jared Cook
TE - LAC (at DEN)
There was a brief moment where it looked like Cook was heading towards being a viable fantasy asset in the middle of the season, but he's now gone three of the last four games finishing outside the top-24 TEs on the week. There are better pivot options available to fantasy managers and Cook isn't worth holding onto in redraft leagues at this point.

Nico Collins
WR - HOU (vs . NYJ)
Collins took a hit last week with the bizarre game-script, but he was inches away from being given credit for a solid touchdown grab. We're not at the point where we can trust Collins in our redraft lineups just yet, but his involvement and talent make him at least worth monitoring as we move down the stretch.
|
|
138.
Ronald Jones II
RB - TB (at IND)
|
|
139.
C.J. Uzomah
TE - CIN (vs . PIT)
Uzomah has done next to nothing here in recent weeks, but he's still routinely on the redraft radar simply based on the TE landscape. The Steelers are only allowing 5.5 fantasy points per game on average to opposing TEs, so if you do start Uzomah this week, you're going to be left hoping that he finds his way into the end zone. He can be viewed as a mid-range/low-end TE1.

Logan Thomas
TE - WAS (vs . SEA)
Thomas has been out with a hamstring injury since Week 4, but he's off IR, practiced on Wednesday and has a good chance to play against the Seahawks in Week 12. He was a big part of the Washington offense down the stretch last season and was off to a solid start in 2021, with 12-117-2 in his first three games. I'm conservatively ranking him TE21 this week.

Mo Alie-Cox

Since Week 8, Doyle has been the TE14 in fantasy scoring, but it's more smoke than fire. He had short TD catches in Weeks 8 and 9, and he's had only nine catches for 74 yards over his last four games. He's the TE28 this week. Alie-Cox scored four touchdowns over a four-game stretch in October, but he has just 2-34-0 over his last four games and has lost any fantasy relevance.

Juwan Johnson is probably the Saints' best pass-catching TE with Trautman out, but he was a healthy scratch in Week 11 behind Nick Vannett and Garret Griffin. Avoid this mess.

Aaron Jones
RB - GB (vs . LAR)
Jones missed Week 11 with an MCL sprain but got in a limited practice on Wednesday. He remains out of the Week 12 rankings for now, but if he plays, he'll slot in as a mid-range RB2 against a solid Rams run defense. With Jones out last week, the Packers were pass-heavy, but Dillon still had a solid day with 11-53-0 rushing and 6-44-0 receiving. His usage in the passing game has been a pleasant surprise, and Dillon displayed his talent in that phase of the game with an artful grab of a high Aaron Rodgers throw last week. Dillon will be a back-end RB1 if Jones doesn't play, a lower-end RB2 if Jones is active.
