Tyler Nubin SAF | NYG
Giants' Tyler Nubin: Records 12 stops again in loss
Nubin posted 12 tackles (five solo) in Sunday's Week 12 defeat against the Buccaneers.
Nubin's tackle total led New York on a rough day for the team as a whole, and it marked his second straight game with exactly 12 stops. The rookie has been one of the few bright spots in an ugly season for New York, as he immediately stepped into a starting role and has recorded at least four tackles in all but one of his 11 games. With 81 stops on the season, he ranks second on New York behind only Bobby Okereke (83).

A.J. Brown WR | PHI
Eagles' A.J. Brown: Cracks century mark and scores TD
Brown hauled in six of seven targets for 109 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 37-20 win over the Rams.
Brown tied his previous season-best mark of six receptions while recording his fourth 100-plus yard game in the process. The 27-year-old now sports a 39-727-4 receiving line through eight active games, which is a tick below the averages of 97 receptions, 1,476 yards and nine touchdowns the wideout averaged in his first two seasons with Philadelphia. Brown should continue to be treated as WR1 in fantasy when the Eagles take on the Ravens next Sunday.

Graham Gano K | NYG
Giants' Graham Gano: Held back by tepid offense
Gano did not attempt any field goals and made his only extra-point try in Sunday's 30-7 Week 12 loss to Tampa Bay.
In New York's first game this season with Tommy DeVito as the starter at quarterback, the team was unable to put up any points until early in the fourth quarter. Gano followed that Devin Singletary touchdown plunge with a successful extra point, but it was the only time he had a chance to kick for points in the game. Since returning from injured reserve Week 10, Gano has attempted only two field goals (making one) over two games. DeVito figures to remain under center moving forward, and the state of the Giants' offense as a whole gives Gano a low floor and ceiling when looking ahead to the remainder of the campaign.

Brandon Graham DE | PHI
Eagles' Brandon Graham: Suffers torn triceps
Graham said he suffered a torn left tricep in Sunday's 37-20 win over the Rams and will miss the remainder of the season, Andrew DiCecco of InsideTheBirds.com reports.
Graham left in the second half with what the Eagles labeled an elbow issue, but he revealed that he suffered a more serious injury. The 36-year-old edge rusher will wrap up his 2024 season with 20 tackles (15 solo) and 3.5 sacks across 11 appearances. Graham will likely be placed on injured reserve in the coming days, and after stating that he would be playing his 15th and final NFL season in 2024, his career could well be over.

Jack Campbell LB | DET
Lions' Jack Campbell: Nine tackles in win
Campbell recorded nine total tackles (five solo) in Sunday's 24-6 win over Indianapolis.
Campbell led the team in takedowns, registering at least nine tackles for the fourth time in the last five games. With Alex Anzalone (forearm) on injured reserve until late December, Campbell will continue to operate as Detroit's unquestioned top option at middle linebacker for the foreseeable future. On the season, Campbell has compiled 87 total tackles (45 solo), including 1.5 sacks, while also adding a forced fumble and a pass defensed over 11 contests.

Kyren Williams RB | LAR
Rams' Kyren Williams: Positive fantasy game in loss
Williams rushed 12 times for 72 yards and a touchdown with two fumbles (one lost) and no targets as a receiver in Sunday's 37-20 loss to the Eagles.
Williams was outclassed by opposing running back Saquon Barkley (302 total yards and two scores), but the former still provided a decent fantasy score for managers Sunday. The Rams' starter commanded 16 of 17 backfield rushing attempts in the loss, tightening his grip on an every-down role as we inch towards the end of the regular season. Williams put two balls on the ground but lost possession of only one, resulting in his third lost fumble on the year. Expect the 23-year-old to see his usual minimum of 15-to-20 carries when the Rams visit the Saints next Sunday.

Darius Slayton WR | NYG
Giants' Darius Slayton: Shut out in Week 12 blowout loss
Slayton didn't catch either of his two targets in Sunday's 30-7 defeat against the Buccaneers.
Slayton missed New York's Week 10 loss to Carolina due to a concussion, and though he was able to return Sunday following the team's Week 11 bye, he was held without a catch for the first time this season. The veteran wideout's two targets in the loss tied a season-low mark, and that number is particularly concerning given that it was New York's first game this season with second-year QB Tommy DeVito -- who put up 31 passes -- starting under center. DeVito seems set to remain the team's lead signal-caller moving forward, and if he continues to focus his attention on Malik Nabers (nine targets), Theo Johnson (six targets) and Wan'Dale Robinson (five targets), Slayton could have a hard time staying involved on offense.

Jake Bates K | DET
Lions' Jake Bates: Makes only field goal in Week 12
Bates made his only field-goal try and went 3-for-3 on PATs in Sunday's 24-6 win over the Colts.
Bates was able to nail a 56-yard field goal in the fourth quarter, his only attempt of the day. The kicker has now been limited to just one field-goal try in five of the last six games, but he's hit at least three PATs in six of the last seven contests. Bates remains a perfect 16-for-16 on field-goal attempts heading into Week 13 versus the Bears.

Devin Singletary RB | NYG
Giants' Devin Singletary: Scores team's only TD in big loss
Singletary rushed twice for three yards and a touchdown while bringing in both of his targets for seven yards in Sunday's 30-7 Week 12 loss to Tampa Bay.
The entire Giants offense struggled Sunday in its first game this season under the guidance of quarterback Tommy DeVito, and game script led to just 20 total New York rushing attempts in the contest. Rookie Tyrone Tracy continued to receive the bulk of the backfield work with nine carries for an efficient 42 yards, but it was Singletary who recorded the team's only score on a one-yard plunge into the end zone early in the fourth quarter. That opportunity came with Tracy briefly benched due to losing his second fumble in as many games early in the third period, but he later returned to the field and finished out the contest, so Singletary will likely work in a backup role again Thursday when the Giants face Dallas in a Thanksgiving matchup between teams with a combined 6-16 record.

Jalen Hurts QB | PHI
Eagles' Jalen Hurts: Lets star RB handle Rams
Hurts (ankle) completed 15 of 22 pass attempts for 179 yards and a touchdown while rushing 12 times for 39 additional yards in Sunday's 37-20 win over the Rams.
Star tailback Saquon Barkley went off for over 300 total yards and two scores Sunday, leaving little work for the passing game in a lopsided victory. On a positive note, Hurts did not appear limited on his 12 rushing attempts after dealing with a minor ankle injury during the practice week. The dual-threat quarterback is completing a career-best 69 percent of his passes this season with 24 combined trips to the end zone over 11 contests. Hurts should continue being an elite QB in fantasy when Philadelphia visits Baltimore next Sunday.
