The Washington Football Team defense has been an up-and-down unit for fantasy this season, but they are a strong start on Thanksgiving against a banged-up Cowboys offense. Perennial Pro Bowler Ryan Kerrigan and defensive Rookie of the Year candidate Chase Young should feast on an offensive line that will start several backups to protect quarterbackAndy Dalton. Dallas has the second-worst turnover percentage in the NFL

Washington Football Team tight end Logan Thomas has been playing better in recent weeks and is a start-worthy option for a Thanksgiving game in Dallas. Thomas has at least five targets in every game Alex Smith has started and played well in the first meeting with the Cowboys as he went for 60 yards and a touchdown. Thomas put up a dud last week with

Washington Football Team quarterback Alex Smith has played well since taking over for Kyle Allen (ankle) and will look to keep rolling in a solid matchup with the Cowboys. Smith has thrown for 300-plus yards in two of his three starts and should be able to take advantage of a good matchup in Dallas. The Cowboys have allowed the second-most passing touchdowns this season and

Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey (shoulder) and quarterback Teddy Bridgewater (knee) are both expected to get in some practice work on Wednesday as the team prepares for Week 12 against the Vikings. McCaffrey is expected to miss another game this weekend. However, Bridgewater is on track to play on Sunday if all goes well in practice the rest of the week. Minnesota’s D has

The Pittsburgh Steelers Defense will take on the Baltimore Ravens at home on Thanksgiving in Week 12. Pittsburgh’s defense has been one of the top fantasy defenses in the league this season and will look to limit a Ravens offense that has not been nearly as explosive as it was in 2019. The Steelers are installed as 4.5-point home favorites in a game with a

Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Eric Ebron has now caught a touchdown in three of his past four games. He hasn’t been posting very many receiving yards along the way but his performances still put him in the TE1 conversation considering the dearth of options at the position in fantasy. He will take on the Baltimore Ravens on Thanksgiving in Week 12 in a decent matchup

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster turned in a slow performance against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 11, catching just four passes for 19 yards. Smith-Schuster will look to bounce back in Week 12 when he faces the Baltimore Ravens on Thanksgiving night. The Ravens have been tough against wide receivers in fantasy this year, allowing the fifth-fewest fantasy points per game to the position.

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Chase Claypool continues to take the league by storm in his rookie campaign. Claypool has scored 10 total touchdowns in the first 10 games of his career, emerging as one of Ben Roethlisberger‘s favorite red-zone targets. The Steelers face off against the Baltimore Ravens in the Thursday night game in Week 12. Claypool will have his work cut out for him

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Diontae Johnson has been trending upwards in recent weeks, having topped 100 receiving yards in two straight games. Now fully healthy and re-established as Ben Roethlisberger‘s No. 1 wide receiver, Johnson will be a strong play in fantasy against the Baltimore Ravens in Week 12’s Thursday night game. The Ravens have been tough against wide receivers this year, allowing the fifth-fewest

Pittsburgh Steelers running back James Conner has hit a wall over his past three games. Over that span, Conner has rushed for 147 scoreless yards across 35 carries. The veteran running back may continue to struggle in Week 12 as he will take on a Baltimore Ravens Defense that has been tough against the run this season. The Ravens rank fourth in the league in

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger will take on the Baltimore Ravens in the Thursday night game on Thanksgiving in Week 12. Roethlisberger and the Pittsburgh passing offense has been very pass-heavy of late as he has attempted at least 42 passes in four of his past five games. Baltimore’s pass defense has been very average this season, allowing the 19th-most fantasy points per game to

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger (quad) was able to practice in limited fashion Tuesday, increasing his likelihood of suiting up Thursday against Baltimore. While it never truly appeared in doubt that Roethlisberger would be able to play, the combination of his estimated DNP on Monday and just three days’ rest in-between games at least makes his inclusion on the injury report noteworthy. The Ravens Defense

Washington Football Team kicker Dustin Hopkins (groin) was unable to suit up for practice Tuesday, increasing the fervor around his status for Thursday’s game against Dallas. Hopkins had been questionable to take the field in Week 11, but managed to make both of his extra points and go 2-for-3 on field goals. The 2020 year has been rough for Hopkins, who is on pace for

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster (toe) was able to record a limited practice session Tuesday, an improvement from the estimated DNP that he earned Monday. Smith-Schuster was hampered by the toe injury during Sunday’s win over Jacksonville, having been limited to four receptions for 19 yards, snapping a streak of back-to-back outings in which he found the end zone. In addition to being banged

Seattle Seahawks running back Chris Carson (foot) was able to record a full practice session Tuesday, a significant step in the right direction as it pertains to his availability for Monday’s contest against Philadelphia. Carson has been on the precipice of returning over the past four weeks, but by getting in a full practice six days ahead of his next game, fantasy managers can likely

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones (hamstring) has earned the unique distinction of being tagged as a game-time decision for Sunday as early as Tuesday, per head coach Raheem Morris. Jones battled through the hamstring ailment to play in just 35 percent of Atlanta’s offensive snaps in Week 11, making him an extremely risky season-long or DFS asset even in the case that he suits

San Francisco 49ers running backs Raheem Mostert (ankle) and Jeff Wilson Jr. (ankle) were both designated to return from Injured Reserve on Tuesday, making it possible that either could take the field Sunday against the Rams. Mostert has served as San Francisco’s lead back when healthy this season, having amassed 65 yards on 17 carries against Los Angeles back in Week 6, the last time

The Los Angeles Rams have claimed defensive end Derek Rivers off of waivers after he was released by New England over the weekend. Having appeared in eight games with the Patriots this season, Rivers has compiled four tackles and four quarterback hits to go along with 1.5 sacks. Not yet having started a game in his NFL career, Rivers figures to be merely a depth

Washington Football Team running back Antonio Gibson (ankle) may have been an estimated DNP participant Monday, but that didn’t stop him from logging a full practice session Tuesday, all but clearing him to take the field Thursday against Dallas. Gibson has found the end zone in four consecutive games, including a career-best 128-yard rushing performance versus the Cowboys back in Week 7. He will be

Washington Football Team wide receiver Terry McLaurin (ankle) was able to log a limited practice Tuesday, an improvement from the estimated DNP that he earned Monday. With just three days of recovery ahead of a Thanksgiving matchup versus Dallas, the fact that McLaurin was able to take the field in any capacity bodes well for his chances of suiting up against an exploitable Cowboys secondary.
