  • Jets' Isaiah Williams: Touches limited to special teams

    Williams had four kickoff returns for 122 yards and three punt returns for 23 yards in Sunday's 23-10 loss to the Ravens.

    Williams didn't get a touch on offense as his usage on that side of the ball faded, but he contributed significantly on special teams. Kene Nwangwu (hamstring) played through a questionable tag but returned only one kickoff while Williams served as the primary kickoff returner in addition to the depth wideout's usual role returning punts. Williams' fantasy value is confined to formats that reward return yards.

    Jets' Andrew Beck: Season-long 10-yard reception

    Beck caught his only target for 10 yards in Sunday's 23-10 loss to the Ravens.

    Beck has caught four of five targets for 26 yards and a touchdown this season. The fullback's 10-yard reception Sunday was his longest catch of the season.

  • Buccaneers' Baker Mayfield: Deemed doubtful to return at half

    Mayfield (left shoulder) is doubtful to return to Sunday's game against the Rams, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

    Mayfield injured his non-throwing shoulder when attempting to throw a Hail Mary on the final play of the first half. He likely aggravated an injury sustained earlier in the first half, as he previously returned to the game after being examined in the injury tent, per Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times. Mayfield completed nine of 19 pass attempts for 41 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions while rushing four times for 19 yards prior to being deemed doubtful to return at halftime. Teddy Bridgewater is expected to take over under center in the second half.

    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.
