  • Arian Smith WR | NYJ

    Jets' Arian Smith: Not targeted in Week 12

    Smith rushed once for eight yards and wasn't targeted in Sunday's 23-10 loss to the Ravens.

    Smith hasn't seen many opportunities since the Jets traded for wide receivers John Metchie and Adonai Mitchell, as the rookie fourth-round pick has gone three consecutive games without a target. Smith has promising speed but hasn't exceeded two touches on offense in any game.

  • Michael Wilson WR | ARI

    Cardinals' Michael Wilson: Continues to thrive as No. 1 WR

    Wilson hauled in 10 of 15 targets for 118 yards in Sunday's 27-24 overtime loss to Jacksonville.

    Wilson is taking full advantage of teammate Marvin Harrison's (appendix) continued absence, with the former producing his second 100-plus yard performance in his second game operating as Arizona's top wideout. The ascension of veteran backup Jacoby Brissett's game since taking over for Kyler Murray (foot) can also be attributed to Wilson's rapid rise in the fantasy ranks. It is unclear how long Harrison will remained sidelined while recovering from appendix surgery, but it has become clear that Wilson should be treated as a must-start option in fantasy until that day comes. Harrison hasn't been ruled out for next Sunday's tilt in Tampa Bay, but there is reason to believe that Wilson could remain fantasy relevant even after his teammate's return given the way the Cardinals are airing the ball out.

  • Allen Lazard WR | NYJ

    Jets' Allen Lazard: One catch in Week 12

    Lazard caught one of three targets for nine yards in Sunday's 23-10 loss to the Ravens.

    John Metchie and Adonai Mitchell tied for the team lead with seven targets apiece from Tyrod Taylor, while Lazard was the only other Jets wide receiver to earn a target. Lazard has yet to exceed 16 receiving yards in a game this season, so he'll likely remain a fantasy nonfactor in Week 13 against the Falcons, regardless of whether Taylor or Justin Fields starts at quarterback.

  • Isaiah Davis RB | NYJ

    Jets' Isaiah Davis: Stays quiet in Week 12 loss

    Davis rushed four times for seven yards and wasn't targeted in Sunday's 23-10 loss to the Ravens.

    As usual, Davis didn't get many opportunities behind Breece Hall, who turned 20 touches into 119 scrimmage yards. Hall lost a fumble near the goal line but led the team in both rushing and receiving yards, so Hall isn't in much danger of seeing his role reduced in Week 13 against the Falcons.

  • Nahshon Wright CB | NYJ

    Bears' Nahshon Wright: Adds another interception

    Wright recorded six tackles, including three solo, and one interception in the Bears' 31-28 win over the Steelers on Sunday.

    Wright has five or more tackles in three of his last seven contests and now has five interceptions on the season, including four over his last six games. With Jaylon Johnson (groin) nearing a return from injured reserve, Wright is at risk of sliding back into a reserve role, making his IDP value more matchup- and snap-dependent going forward.

  • Montez Sweat DE | CHI

    Bears' Montez Sweat: Big sack day in win

    Sweat recorded three tackles and 2.0 sacks in the Bears' 31-28 win over the Steelers on Sunday.

    Sweat has at least 1.0 sacks in five of his last six contests and now has 7.5 sacks this season, with 6.5 coming over that six-game span. With only two games above three tackles, his fantasy value remains sack-dependent on the defensive line.

  • Bears' Amen Ogbongbemiga: Huge fill-in performance

    Ogbongbemiga recorded 14 tackles, including two solo, in the Bears' 31-28 win over the Steelers on Sunday.

    Ogbongbemiga played his first meaningful defensive snaps of the season after previously appearing only on special teams, and he benefited from Chicago's depleted linebacker group. His 14-tackle outing establishes him as a strong IDP fill-in while the Bears remain thin at linebacker.

  • Bears' D'Marco Jackson: Steps into major role

    Jackson recorded 15 tackles, including five solo, in the Bears' 31-28 win over the Steelers on Sunday.

    Jackson took over at middle linebacker with Chicago down its top three linebackers, leading to a full-time role. After logging only 32 defensive snaps and roughly one tackle per game before Week 12, his sudden workload makes him an elite IDP fill-in as long as linebacker injuries persist.

  • Cole Kmet TE | CHI

    Bears' Cole Kmet: Usage remains limited

    Kmet caught one pass for three yards on one target in the Bears' 31-28 win over the Steelers on Sunday.

    Kmet is coming off a season-high five catches for 45 yards last week, but he has 10 or fewer yards and two or fewer targets in five of his last six games, including one target Sunday. With Colston Loveland taking on the lead receiving tight end role, Kmet profiles as touchdown-dependent tight end depth.

  • Trey McBride TE | ARI

    Cardinals' Trey McBride: Nine catches in OT loss

    McBride corralled nine of 10 targets for 79 yards in Sunday's 27-24 overtime loss to the Jaguars.

    McBride wasn't able extend his scoring streak to a sixth straight contest, which turned out to be the only blemish on another strong fantasy outing in Week 12. The star tight end utilized the overtime period to tack on a pair of short receptions in order to create a new personal streak of recording nine or more catches, which currently sits at three games. McBride has gone on an absolute tear since Jacoby Brissett took over under center for an injured Kyler Murray (foot) back in Week 6. The unexpected connection of Brissett to McBride has generated 51 receptions for 522 yards and six touchdowns in the six games the duo has started this season. There is little reason to believe that McBride can be contained by the Buccaneers' defense next Sunday.
