San Francisco 49ers running back Raheem Mostert made his return to the field in Week 12 against the Los Angeles Rams. It was his first game back since suffering a knee injury in Week 6. Mostert was the team’s primary ball-carrier in the game. He carried the ball 16 times for 43 yards and a touchdown. He also lost a fumble in the game and

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins finished Week 12 against the Giants by catching all five of his targets for 44 yards and a touchdown. The rookie led the way and managed to find the end zone despite Brandon Allen‘s underwhelming team debut. With Allen to remain under center against the Dolphins, fantasy managers may benefit from holding him out in Week 13 unless they

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Nick Mullens did just enough to help his team clinch a victory over the Los Angeles Rams in Week 12. Mullens completed 24 of his 35 passes for 253 yards and an interception. It was an ugly fantasy day for Mullens, but it was somewhat expected given the tough matchup against the Rams pass defense. Mullens completed 68.6% of his passes

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Brandon Allen threw for 136 yards and a touchdown on 17-for-29 passing during the Week 12 loss to the Giants. He also tossed an interception and had seven yards off four carries. Filling in for the injured Joe Burrow (knee), the 28-year-old got the start over Ryan Finley and managed to keep the game competitive throughout 60 minutes of action. Although head

Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Derek Carr had his worst performance of the season in a blowout loss against the Falcons, throwing for just 215 yards with no touchdowns and one interception. Carr was also sacked three times and lost three fumbles. It was an all-day struggle for the Raiders offense as they were able to score just six points. Carr completed just 64 percent of

Jacksonville Jaguars running back James Robinson finished with 128 yards and a touchdown off 22 carries during the loss to Cleveland in Week 12. He also added five catches for 31 yards. The rookie had an impressive day and filled a massive void left by the joint injuries of Gardner Minshew II (thumb), D.J. Chark (ribs), and Chris Conley (hip). His 5.8 YPC was his

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling (Achilles) will play against Chicago on Sunday night. Valdes-Scantling injured himself in practice and it looked unlikely he’d be ready to go, but he’ll be toughing it out. With Allen Lazard back and likely taking on a bigger role this week, MVS is just a WR4 play against the Bears. Source: Green Bay Packers

New York Giants kicker Graham Gano had a big day in Cincinnati making four field goals and an extra point. Gano made field goals from 49, 40, 39, and 32 and did not miss a kick as he accounted for most of New York’s scoring on the afternoon. With QB Daniel Jones (hamstring) injured, Gano is a riskier fantasy option if the New York offense

The Colts Defense had an awful performance against the Titans, allowing 45 points. Seven of those points came via a Colts kick return for a touchdown, but the defense struggled mightily, especially against the run. Derrick Henry rushed for 178 yards and three touchdowns on 6.6 yards per carry. They allowed 449 yards of total offense, which is about 150 more yards than what they

The New York Giants Defense was a popular streaming choice with a matchup against the Bengals starting a backup quarterback and the unit delivered a solid game for fantasy. The Giants allowed 17 points, had two sacks, an interception, and two fumble recoveries. It was nice to see the Giants deliver when they had a good matchup, but those that turned to them should look

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. had a disappointing day against the Titans, catching just two passes for 28 yards. It broke a streak of three solid performances from Pittman. The encouraging thing for fantasy owners is that his lack of receptions was not for a lack of targets. He was targeted nine times, which was second-most on the team behind Nyheim Hines. The

New York Giants wide receiver Sterling Shepard caught seven passes for 64 yards in a win over the Bengals on Sunday. Shepard was targeted eight times, the fourth time in his last five games he’s seen eight-plus targets as he has been the most reliable Giants receiver. Shepard has six catches in every game since Week 7 when he returned from a toe injury. If

New York Giants wide receiver Golden Tate caught four passes for 36 yards in a win over the Bengals on Sunday. The story of the game for Tate, however, was getting a season-high nine targets as Darius Slayton (undisclosed) had his playing time severely limited due to what head coach Joe Judge called “some bumps and bruises.” Unfortunately for Tate, starting QB Daniel Jones (hamstring)

Indianapolis Colts tight end Trey Burton caught three passes on six targets for 42 yards and a touchdown against the Titans in Week 12. Burton hauled in all three of his catches in the first quarter, but it was a solid fantasy performance, nonetheless. His 42 receiving yards was the most he has gone for since Week 6, and he now has a touchdown in

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Mike Glennon got the start over the unproductive Jake Luton in Week 12 against the Browns, finishing with 235 yards and two touchdowns on 20-for-35 passing. The veteran held his own on Sunday despite the team being without D.J. Chark (ribs) and Chris Conley (hip). He connected with Collin Johnson on a 46-yard touchdown late in the second quarter before capping off

New York Giants tight end Evan Engram had a big day Sunday turning six catches into 129 yards, his first 100-plus yard game this season. Engram almost had a bigger day, but he was tackled at the three-yard line after a 54-yard reception in the first quarter. Engram has been one of the most reliable options in fantasy over the last month with at least

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Willie Snead IV has tested positive for COVID-19. This makes seven offensive starters for Baltimore on the COVID list and marks eight consecutive days with a positive test. Getting through Sunday with no positives would have been huge in guaranteeing that Tuesday’s Ravens/Steelers game happens as scheduled. This positive introduces even more doubt about the viability of that football game. Source:

Atlanta Falcons kicker Younghoe Koo went a perfect 5-for-5 in field goals in the Week 12 win over Las Vegas. He also made four extra points. Koo’s longest field goal was 54 yards in the win and he has now gone 29-for-30 in field goals this season. He is also 22-for-25 in extra points. Koo remains a strong starting option going forward given his reliability.

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver T.Y. Hilton had his best performance of the season in a Sunday loss against the Titans. He caught four passes on five targets for 81 yards, and he hauled in his first touchdown catch of the season. Hilton netted the majority of his yards on a 50-yard catch in the first half, and his touchdown came in garbage time when the

Denver Broncos running back Phillip Lindsay (knee) won’t return to Sunday’s game against the Saints. Lindsay ends the day with nine carries for 20 yards on a weird day where the Broncos were without a starting quarterback and used Lindsay in the wildcat some. Hopefully he’s good to go next week, but if Lindsay’s knee issue is serious, Melvin Gordon III will see the bulk
