New York Jets wide receiver Jamison Crowder has been in a bit of a slump lately, but hopefully that will change in Week 12. QuarterbackSam Darnold (shoulder) is back under center, so that should give a boost to Crowder’s value. He’ll get a tough matchup against the Miami Dolphins in Week 12, but Crowder remains their best weapon on offense. He should see plenty of

Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Bruce Arians said that backup center A.Q. Shipley (neck), who started the last two games, is out for the season and has been advised to end his playing career after his latest injury. The 34-year-old suffered a neck injury late in the fourth quarter of the Monday night loss to the Rams in Week 11. “He had had this injury

New York Jets wide receiver Denzel Mims has seen seven targets or more in three of his four games he’s played in this season. The Jets clearly want to get the second-round rookie involved in their passing attack every week. He’ll head into a matchup against the Miami Dolphins who are average against the passing attack this season. Mims should get targets, but he has

New York Jets running back Frank Gore finally scored his first rushing touchdown of the season last week versus the Los Angeles Chargers. It was his best performance of the season, but fantasy owners shouldn’t expect similar results in Week 12. The Miami Dolphins are average at stopping the running game this season. Gore has failed to reach 65 rushing yards or more in any

Seattle Seahawks All-Pro safety Jamal Adams (shoulder) said he has been “playing with one arm” for the last two weeks because of a shoulder injury that he suffered on the first play of the loss to the Rams in Week 10. Adams finished that game and then played every defensive snap four days later when Seattle beat the Cardinals last Thursday night. He recorded seven

New York Jets quarterback Sam Darnold (shoulder) will suit up against the Miami Dolphins in Week 12. Darnold is returning after a two-game absence, but will face one of the best defenses in the league. He was already a horrendous fantasy option, but playing the Dolphins makes it even worse. It’s unlikely that Darnold produces decent fantasy value in any format. He belongs on the

The Miami Dolphins will not force rookie quarterbackTua Tagovailoa (thumb) to play through his injury in Week 12 against the Jets if they think that it’s affecting him at all. Tagovailoa’s status for Sunday’s game is very much in question. The rookie from Alabama was limited in practice this week after jamming his thumb on a helmet during practice on Wednesday. The Dolphins are either

Philadelphia Eagles head coach Doug Pederson said that he doesn’t think tight end Zach Ertz (ankle) will be ready to return in Week 12 against the Seahawks on Monday night. Ertz had been trending in the right direction earlier this week, but it appears that the Eagles will wait at least another week. The 30-year-old from Stanford has been out since Week 6 with a

The Baltimore Ravens officially signed free-agent cornerback Pierre Desir on Saturday. Desir agreed to a one-year, $5.5 million deal with the Jets in the offseason but didn’t make it through the season with them before being cut. The 30-year-old former fourth-round pick of the Browns in 2014 had a couple solid seasons with the Colts before signing with New York for the 2020 season. Before

New England Patriots wide receiver Damiere Byrd has come alive over the last few weeks. He hauled in six of his seven targets for 132 yards and one touchdown in the loss to the Houston Texans last week. The Pats have continued to get Byrd involved their offense all season long. He will get targets, but it’s unclear if he’ll draw elite defensive back Patrick

New England Patriots wide receiver N’Keal Harry returned last week against the Houston Texans after a three-game absence due to a concussion. He hauled in five of his eight targets for 41 yards in the loss. Fantasy owners always have to worry about Harry because he continues to lack consistency. He does have a favorable matchup in Week 12, but that doesn’t mean a whole

New England Patriots wide receiver Jakobi Meyers was red-hot earlier this month, but has cooled down lately. He hauled in all three of his targets for 38 yards in the loss to the Houston Texans last week. It appears N’Keal Harry and Damiere Byrd have surpassed Meyers on the depth chart. Although, Meyers does have a favorable matchup against the Arizona Cardinals in Week 12.

New England Patriots running back James White has struggled to produce consistent fantasy value this season. However, his value should be on the rise with Rex Burkhead (knee) out for the rest of the season. That means, White should be the main receiving back going forward. He hauled in six receptions for 64 yards in the loss to the Houston Texans last week. White should

New England Patriots running back Damien Harris has looked solid as the lead back for this offense. He’s already produced three performances of 100 rushing yards or more this season. He’ll head into a matchup against the Arizona Cardinals who are average at stopping the run. Harris is going to get touches, but it really depends on if he can find the end zone in

New England Patriots quarterback Cam Newton is coming off one of his best performances of the season. He threw for 365 yards and one touchdown in the loss to the Houston Texans last week. It was a nice outing by Newton who has struggled to produce through the air this season. He’ll get another favorable matchup against the Arizona Cardinals in Week 12. A secondary

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Zach Pascal (knee, foot) was a limited participant in Friday’s practice and is listed as questionable heading into Sunday’s divisional matchup against the Titans. Pascal has been consistently average this season, catching at least two passes in every game. He has no more than five receptions in any game and has found the end zone just two times. If he is

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Philip Rivers (toe) is listed as questionable following Friday’s practice, but he is expected to start on Sunday. Rivers is in a little groove over the past month or so, but he still lacks big upside potential. He is throwing the ball about 35 times per game and is averaging just a little over one touchdown per game. Those definitely are not

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Curtis Samuel gets a fantastic matchup in Week 12. The Vikings’ secondary has allowed the third-most fantasy points per game to receivers. Unfortunately, Samuel has shown his fantasy managers how low his floor is, as he had just eight receiving yards two weeks ago. However, Samuel does possess week-winning upside as a flex play- and this might be the week to

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel (hamstring) practiced all week and was taken off the final injury report, meaning he will return for Week 12 against the division-rival Rams. Samuel will be returning for the first time since Week 7, which is great news for a banged-up 49ers offense that will likely once again be without rookie Brandon Aiyuk, who tested positive for COVID-19.

Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs (hip) was logged on the team’s injury report Thursday following a limited participation in practice. He was also a limited participant in Friday’s practice, but it appears that he is good to go for Sunday. Jacobs is a must-start option this Sunday against a Falcons Defense that ranks 24th against opposing running backs. He has four touchdowns and
