Riley Moss CB | DEN
Broncos' Riley Moss: Injures MCL in Week 12
Speaking with the media after the team's win over the Raiders on Sunday, coach Sean Payton said Moss (knee) suffered an MCL injury versus Las Vegas, Parker Gabriel of The Denver Post reports.
Moss was injured in the second quarter Sunday and was unable to return for the second half. Levi Wallace filled in opposite Patrick Surtain at cornerback for Denver. Payton believes Moss did avoid a serious injury. Moss will have eight days to try and get ready for next Monday night's Week 13 date with the Browns.

Tommy Tremble TE | CAR
Panthers' Tommy Tremble: Quiet in loss
Tremble caught one of his two targets for five yards in Sunday's 30-27 loss to the Chiefs.
Despite an increased workload in the second half of Sunday's loss after Ja'Tavion Sanders (neck) exited with an injury, Tremble didn't produce much offensively. The Notre Dame product has now appeared in six games this season, catching 10 of his 14 targets for 77 yards. He could continue to see an expanded offensive role if Sanders is sidelined for the Week 13 matchup against the Buccaneers.

Josh Jacobs RB | GB
Packers' Josh Jacobs: Overcomes cramping to score thrice
Jacobs rushed 26 times for 106 yards and three touchdowns without recording a reception in Sunday's 38-10 win over the 49ers.
Jacobs gave fantasy managers a scare when he limped off the field after scoring his second touchdown of the contest. Fortunately, Green Bay's leading rusher was only dealing with cramping and was able to return and finish off the victory. Jacobs added four more rushing attempts and a third score following his brief exit, assuring those rostering the tailback that he avoided a potential stint on the sidelines. The three-score effort helped the bruising rusher surpass his season rushing and touchdown totals from last year in two fewer games since joining the Packers. Expect a well-hydrated Jacobs to be a key part of Green Bay's attack against Miami on Thanksgiving.

Keenan Allen WR | CHI
Bears' Keenan Allen: Commands 15 targets
Allen recorded nine receptions on 15 targets for 86 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 30-27 overtime loss to the Vikings.
Allen earned a season-best 15 targets, his third-double digit target total of the campaign. Though he wasn't particularly efficient, he managed to top 45 receiving yards for the first time as a Bear, highlighted by a 40-yard catch and run midway through the first quarter. Allen also tallied his third touchdown of the season with 22 seconds remaining in the game to help set up a remarkable comeback that ultimately fell just short. While it was a positive performance, Allen's track record in Chicago suggests he may not replicate it any time soon.

Deven Thompkins WR | CAR
Panthers' Deven Thompkins: Catches three passes vs. Chiefs
Thompkins caught all three of his targets for 13 yards in Sunday's 30-27 loss to the Chiefs.
Thompkins had his best game of the season in Sunday's narrow loss, catching his first three passes of the year for 13 yards, which ranked fourth among Carolina's wide receivers. The Utah State product has appeared in just three games this season, also having recorded one carry for minus-2 yards. He's expected to continue serving as a depth piece in the Panthers' wide receiver room as the season progresses.

Gardner Minshew QB | LV
Raiders' Gardner Minshew: Out for season with broken collarbone
Minshew is expected to miss the rest of the 2024 season after fracturing his collarbone in the fourth quarter of Sunday's 29-19 loss to the Broncos, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Minshew broke his collarbone while being sacked late in the fourth quarter of Sunday's game and was replaced by Desmond Ridder. Per Tashan Reed of The Athletic, the Raiders could activate Aidan O'Connell (thumb) from injured reserve Week 13, but for now, Ridder profiles as the leading candidate to take over as the team's starting quarterback beginning with Friday's game at Kansas City. Minshew will end the season having completed 66.3 percent of his passes for 2,013 yards, nine touchdowns and 10 interceptions while adding 58 yards on 19 carrries across 10 appearances (eight starts).

George Kittle TE | SF
49ers' George Kittle: Returns with authority
Kittle (hamstring) caught all six of his targets for 82 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 38-10 loss to Green Bay.
Kittle returned from a one-game absence to find his quarterback Brock Purdy (shoulder) missing in action. The 31-year-old Kittle made the most of his opportunities Sunday, producing his second three-game scoring streak this season. The star tight end is up to 49 receptions for 642 yards and eight touchdowns over nine active games. Kittle would benefit greatly from the return of Purdy should the signal-caller heal up ahead of next Sunday's tilt against the Bills.

Gardner Minshew QB | LV
Raiders' Gardner Minshew: Will get more tests on shoulder
Head coach Antonio Pierce told reporters after Sunday's 29-19 loss to the Broncos that Minshew's left shoulder injury "doesn't look good," and the quarterback will need further testing to determine the severity of the injury, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.
Minshew injured his left shoulder on a sack late in the fourth quarter of Sunday's game. He went to the locker room and did not return, with backup Desmond Ridder taking over under center for the rest of the contest. The Raiders' next game is Friday against the Chiefs, and Pierce relayed there is a chance Aidan O'Connell (thumb) could be activated from injured reserve and suit up for Week 13 if Minshew cannot play, per Tashan Reed of The Athletic.

DJ Moore WR | CHI
Bears' DJ Moore: Perfect effort in OT loss
Moore recorded seven receptions on seven targets for 106 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 30-27 overtime loss to the Vikings. He added one rush for 13 yards.
Moore showed the ability to connect with Caleb Williams in all areas of the field in the loss, as he had long gains of 37 and 27 yards, the latter of which set up a game-tying field goal to send the game to overtime. He also worked effectively in the short areas of the field, including on a 10-yard touchdown reception early in the fourth quarter -- his first trip to the end zone since Week 5. While it's been a disappointing season for Moore, he has 14 receptions on 14 targets for 168 yards across two games since Chicago made a change at offensive coordinator.

Demario Douglas WR | NE
Patriots' DeMario Douglas: Team-high yardage in loss
Douglas secured five of seven targets for 62 yards and rushed once for one yard in the Patriots' 34-15 loss to the Dolphins on Sunday.
Douglas finished with a co-team-high number of receptions while setting the pace in receiving yards for the Patriots on an unproductive afternoon for the offense overall. The second-year wideout has at least four catches in four consecutive games, and his yardage total Sunday was his highest since Week 6. Douglas' next opportunity to continue building rapport with rookie signal-caller Drake Maye comes in a Week 13 home matchup against the Colts.
