Carolina Panthers wide receiver Robby Anderson has an excellent matchup in Week 12 against the Vikings’ secondary. Anderson has had a couple of quiet fantasy outings recently but has remained a target hog in this offense, as he’s averaged 8.8 looks per contest over his last five games. There should be plenty of openings over the middle of the field for Anderson, who is looking

The Las Vegas Raiders placed former Falcons first-rounder Takk McKinley (groin) on Injured Reserve on Friday, so they will hang onto him instead of waiving him after he failed physicals with the Bengals and 49ers previously. It’s been another long and disappointing season for the pass-rusher from UCLA, as he was cut by Atlanta after making a social-media scene because he wasn’t dealt at the

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Adam Humphries (concussion), tight end MyCole Pruitt (knee) and cornerback Adoree’ Jackson (knee) have been ruled out for Week 12 against the division-rival Colts. Humphries was injured in Week 8 and hasn’t played since, recording 22 catches (31 targets) for 219 yards and two touchdowns in six games this year. Pruitt has just three receptions for 17 yards and a score

Carolina Panthers wide receiver D.J. Moore (shoulder) was a full participant in practice all week and is good to go for Week 12 against the Vikings. Minnesota has allowed the third-most fantasy points to wide receivers and the second-most touchdowns, making this a smash spot for Moore, who is coming off a 127-yard performance last week. The 23-year-old has exceeded 50 receiving yards in six

The Pittsburgh Steelers placed defensive end Stephon Tuitt, defensive tackle Isaiah Buggs and offensive lineman Jerald Hawkins on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Friday. Tuitt could be a big loss for the elite Steelers Defense with their game being moved to Tuesday night in Week 12 due to COVID-19 issues in the Ravens organization. The 27-year-old pass-rusher ranks ninth in fantasy points among defensive linemen in

Carolina Panthers running back Mike Davis is likely to get another start as the team’s lead back in Week 12 against Minnesota. With Christian McCaffrey (shoulder) on the wrong side of questionable, look for Davis to see around 15 to 20 touches against the Vikings, who rank 24th against the run. The Panthers clearly have no problem with Davis as their lead runner, so fantasy

Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay said that tight end Tyler Higbee (elbow) will be a game-time decision for Week 12 against the division-rival 49ers. Already coming into this game as a low-end and unreliable TE2, Higbee should be avoided by fantasy managers this weekend. He scored three times on five catches in Week 2 but hasn’t scored since and has over three receptions

Denver Broncos tight end Noah Fant has been trending toward 100 percent health this week after practicing in full all week while dealing with a ribs injury. Fant’s fantasy managers were expecting more this year when he scored in the first two games of the season, but he hasn’t scored since and was slowed by an ankle injury. He’s also been held back by the

Carolina Panthers quarterback Teddy Bridgewater (knee) was a full participant in practice all week and is good to go for his revenge game against the Vikings in Week 12. Bridgewater has thrown for at least two touchdowns in three of his last four games and has added two rushing scores in that time span. The former Viking will look to dissect the 25th-ranked secondary of

Denver Broncos quarterback Drew Lock (ribs) practiced in full all week and wasn’t on the team’s final injury report for Week 12 against the Saints. Lock was questionable last week but played in the surprising win over the Dolphins. The second-year QB was more of a game manager in Week 11 with the running game doing its job. We’d expect Lock to have to throw

Denver Broncos rookie wide receiver Jerry Jeudy (Achilles, ankle) was limited in practice on Friday and is questionable for Week 12 against the Saints. If Jeudy is not able to go, Tim Patrick would be the unquestioned No. 1 wideout and would have WR3/flex appeal, while fellow rookie K.J. Hamler would also become a more attractive WR4/flex in deeper leagues in a game in which

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers Defense should be avoided in Week 12 when they take on the Kansas City Chiefs. Kansas City has just seven total turnovers on offense and has allowed 12 sacks. Not only is there limited upside for the Buccaneers defense, but the Chiefs also lead the league in points per game. Stay away from Tampa Bay’s defense this week, if possible. Source:

Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid said there’s a “pretty good chance” that wide receiver Sammy Watkins (calf, hamstring) will play in Week 12 against the Buccaneers. Watkins has been out since Week 5 but is worth an addition off the waiver wire if he was dropped by his previous owner. He practiced in full on Friday and was taken off the final injury

Minnesota Vikings tight end Irv Smith Jr. (groin) is doubtful to play in Week 12 against the Panthers. Smith missed practice the last two days, so fantasy managers need to remove him from their starting lineups. The second-year tight end hasn’t gone over four receptions or 64 yards receiving in a single game this year and has just two touchdowns, so he’s been more of

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Rob Gronkowski prepares to face off with the defending-champion Chiefs in a Week 12 battle. Gronkowski has been giving to fantasy owners in all formats lately, as he’s scored at least 10 standard points and 13 PPR points in four of his last six games, averaging 5.8 targets per contest. With the tight end position more of a dice roll

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling (Achilles) missed practice on Friday and is questionable for Week 12 against the division-rival Bears. Valdes-Scantling injured himself in practice on Thursday and looks unlikely for this weekend’s game. MVS does have three touchdowns in the last three games, including two scores in Week 9 against the 49ers, but he had just three catches for 55 yards with

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Davante Adams (ankle) returned to practice on Friday and isn’t on the team’s final Week 12 injury report against the division-rival Bears. Adams looked completely healthy last week while catching seven passes for 106 yards and his eight touchdown in the last five games. He’s arguably the best fantasy wideout right now, so he’s a high-end, must-start wideout this Sunday,

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Gardner Minshew II (thumb) is listed as questionable for Week 12 against the Browns. Minshew hasn’t played since Week 7, but head coach Doug Marrone already named Mike Glennon the starter against Cleveland earlier this week. But it looks as though Minshew is nearing full health, so he could have a shot at earning the starting gig back if Glennon, who is

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Antonio Brown has been a strong producer since joining the team. Aside from the blowout loss to New Orleans, Brown has put up 7-69-0 and 8-57-0 receiving lines on eight and 13 targets, respectively. Those are essentially WR2-level workloads, though the matchup against the Chiefs is certainly a tough one. Considering that Kansas City has surrendered the third-fewest targets to

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jakeem Grant Sr. (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Week 12 against the Jets. Grant was limited in practice the last two days, so he has a pretty good chance of facing the winless Jets. The 28-year-old has drawn 17 targets for 10 catches and a touchdown in the last three weeks and seems to have good chemistry with rookie quarterback
