  • Jordan Addison WR | MIN

    Vikings' Jordan Addison: Enjoys career day

    Addison recorded eight receptions on nine targets for 162 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 30-27 overtime win over the Bears.

    Addison posted both the highest yardage and reception total of his career against a Bears secondary that has regularly shut down opposing wide receivers. He did the majority of his damage on receptions of 69 and 45 yards, and he showed impressive balance for a long run after the catch down the sideline on the former play. Addison also found the end zone for the second consecutive game on a two-yard catch early in the second quarter. While Justin Jefferson will remain the top priority in the Minnesota offense, Addison's performance shows the ability to make opposing defenses pay when they focus on taking Jefferson out of the game.

  • Cooper Rush QB | DAL

    Cowboys' Cooper Rush: Produces solid numbers in win

    Rush completed 24 of 32 passes for 247 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions and netted one yard on four rushes in the Cowboys' 34-26 win over the Commanders on Sunday. He also fumbled once but recovered.

    Rush was able to put together a successful, turnover-free encore to his season-high 354-yard tally on Monday night against the Texans, posting his first multi-TD tally in the process. The veteran backup connected for both of his scoring tosses in the second half, hitting Jalen Tolbert (six yards) and Luke Schoonmaker (22 yards) with end-zone strikes in the third and fourth quarters, respectively. Rush may be settling into a rhythm now that he's gotten a few games under his belt, and he'll head into a Week 13 Thanksgiving Day matchup against the Giants with momentum on his side.

  • Romeo Doubs WR | GB

    Packers' Romeo Doubs: Concussion confirmed Sunday

    Doubs won't return to Sunday's game versus the 49ers due to a concussion, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

    Doubs drew a defensive pass interference penalty in the end zone in the middle of the third quarter that helped set up Josh Jacobs' (cramps) second TD of the contest, but the wide receiver was slow to get to his feet and eventually the sideline before he was ruled out. Doubs will finish Week 12 with three catches (on six targets) for 54 yards.

  • Josh Jacobs RB | GB

    Packers' Josh Jacobs: Departs due to cramping Sunday

    Jacobs is dealing with cramps during Sunday's game against the 49ers.

    After scoring his second touchdown of the contest with 4:28 remaining in the third quarter from one-yard out, Jacobs ran to the locker room and was deemed questionable to return shortly thereafter. Jacobs had 22 carries for 99 yards and the pair of end-zone visits at the time of his exit. Emanuel Wilson and Chris Brooks are the other running backs available on the Packers' game-day roster.

  • Rico Dowdle RB | DAL

    Cowboys' Rico Dowdle: Garners 98 total yards in win

    Dowdle rushed 19 times for 86 yards and brought in all three targets for 12 yards in the Cowboys' 34-26 win over the Commanders on Sunday. He also lost a fumble.

    Dowdle operated as the unquestioned lead back, as backfield mate Ezekiel Elliott logged only three carries. The former fittingly parlayed his second-highest carry total of the season into his second-highest rushing yardage tally, and he also extended his streak of multi-catch efforts to six games. Dowdle heads into a favorable Thanksgiving Day home matchup against the Giants with a secure grip on the top job in Dallas' ground attack.

  • Vikings' Justin Jefferson: Quiet in OT win

    Jefferson recorded two receptions on five targets for 27 yards in Sunday's 30-27 overtime win against the Bears.

    Sam Darnold ripped through the Chicago secondary to record seven completions of at least 20 yards, making Jefferson's line even more disappointing. He did have a 40-yard touchdown nullified late in the fourth quarter by offensive pass interference on an apparent pick play. Jefferson has now failed to reach 100 receiving yards in three consecutive contests.

  • 49ers' Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles: Questionable to return

    Flannigan-Fowles (knee) is questionable to return to Sunday's matchup versus the Packers.

    Flannigan-Fowles got hurt in the third quarter of Sunday's matchup, leaving his status for the rest of the game up in the air. With Flannigan-Fowles sidelined, Dee Winters is now in at linebacker in his place.

  • 49ers' Jordan Elliott: Ruled out Sunday

    Elliot (concussion) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game versus Green Bay, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

    Elliott will not return to the game after suffering a concussion during the first half. In his absence, Kalia Davis and Evan Anderson should see increased playing time.

  • Tim Patrick WR | DET

    Lions' Tim Patrick: Gains 55 yards Sunday

    Patrick brought in all four of his targets for 55 yards in Sunday's 24-6 win over the Colts.

    Patrick saw a little extra work with Kalif Raymond (foot) exiting the contest in the second half. The 31-year-old Patrick was already operating as the Lions' third receiver behind Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jameson Williams, so his role is unlikely to change much if Raymond is unable to go in Week 13. Patrick should be considered a deep-league fantasy option for Thursday's holiday matchup against the Bears.

  • Sam Darnold QB | MIN

    Vikings' Sam Darnold: Picks apart Bears with deep balls

    Darnold completed 22 of 34 passes for 330 yards with two touchdowns and zero interceptions in Sunday's 30-27 overtime win against the Bears.

    Darnold crushed the Bears with deep pass attempts, as he tallied three completions of at least 40 yards and seven of at least 20. That led to his first 300-yard passing game of the season, though he was aided by overtime to get there. Darnold also tacked on passing scores from two and five yards away, marking his fourth multi-touchdown effort in six games since Minnesota's bye. After a brief shaky stretch, Darnold has returned to form as a solid fantasy contributor.
