  • Wil Lutz K | DEN

    Broncos' Wil Lutz: Perfect once again

    Lutz made all five of his field-goal attempts while also converting both of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 29-19 win over the Raiders.

    Lutz had his best game of the 2024 campaign Sunday, accounting for 17 of the Broncos' 29 points against the Raiders. The veteran kicker saw ample opportunities due to Denver's offense stalling in scoring range multiple times throughout the contest. With his impressive performance in Week 12, Lutz has now connected on 88.9 percent of his field goals this season and will look to keep his two-game streak of 13 consecutive made kicks going in Week 13 when the Broncos host the Browns.

  • Blake Corum RB | LAR

    Rams' Blake Corum: Just one carry in defeat

    Corum rushed once for five yards during Sunday's 37-20 loss to the Eagles.

    Corum's single touch on offense was the rookie's lowest usage since Week 9 against the Seahawks. The biggest story for Corum's fantasy managers was Kyren Williams fumbling twice, with one of those recovered by the Eagles. The two fumbles brought Williams' total to five in the last seven games, and the recurring ball security issues might give Corum a chance to gain more of a role in the backfield if they continue. A susceptible Saints defense is up next in Week 13.

  • Bryan Cook FS | KC

    Chiefs' Bryan Cook: Dependable in road win

    Cook recorded seven tackles (three solo) during Sunday's 30-27 win at Carolina.

    Cook played all 58 of the Chiefs' defensive snaps in Week 12, and he came away with his highest tackle total since Week 3. He'll be looking to build on Sunday's performance in Week 13 versus the Raiders.

  • Panthers' Ja'Tavion Sanders: Avoids serious injury

    Coach Dave Canales said Monday that Sanders (neck) avoided a serious injury in Sunday's loss to the Chiefs, Mike Kaye of The Charlotte Observer reports.

    Sanders was, in fact, in the Panthers' team building Monday, which is a good sign after he was taken to the hospital for testing following the injury Sunday. The Panthers still are evaluating if Sanders will be able to play next Sunday against the Bucs, but it does sound like the rookie tight end will play again this season.

  • Nazeeh Johnson SAF | KC

    Chiefs' Nazeeh Johnson: Leads Chiefs in tackles Sunday

    Johnson recorded eight tackles (five solo) and a pass defensed during Sunday's 30-27 win at Carolina.

    Johnson played nearly all of Kansas City's defensive snaps in Week 12, and he posted eight-plus tackles for the third straight game. If he plays a similarly significant role in Week 13 versus the Raiders, he'll project as a good IDP play in most formats.

  • Zack Martin G | DAL

    Cowboys' Zack Martin: Unlikely to play this week

    Martin (ankle) is considered a long shot to play Thursday against the Giants, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

    Martin missed the team's win over the Commanders on Sunday and is in danger of missing a second straight game with the Cowboys on a short week. Assuming he misses, T.J. Bass would likely draw the start at left guard.

  • Asim Richards OT | DAL

    Cowboys' Asim Richards: Could miss time

    Richards suffered a high-ankle sprain in Sunday's win over the Commanders, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

    Richards is likely questionable at best for a Thanksgiving day matchup with the Giants since high-ankle sprains typically involve a multi-week absence. If he's ultimately unable to suit up, it'd be a blow to the Cowboys' offensive line depth.

  • Roquan Smith ILB | BAL

    Ravens' Roquan Smith: Unlikely for MNF

    Smith (hamstring) isn't expected to play Monday against the Chargers, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.

    Smith wasn't able to log a practice this week but was still considered questionable for the matchup as of Saturday. His absence would be a significant blow to the Ravens' defense, considering Smith's typical production and impact isn't replicable by any one player. Malik Harrison and Chris Board would be candidates to see extra work for the Ravens if Smith sits out.

  • Jake Ferguson TE | DAL

    Cowboys' Jake Ferguson: Long shot to play Thursday

    Cowboys EVP Stephen Jones said Monday that Ferguson (concussion) is "a little more of a long shot" to play Thursday against the Giants, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

    Ferguson was concussed Week 11 against the Texans and just missed Sunday's Week 12 win over the Commanders after not practicing at all last week. The Cowboys now have a quick Week 13 turnaround, hosting the division rival Giants on Thanksgiving Day. Luke Schoonmaker played 65 percent of the offensive snaps against Washington and posted a useful 3-55-1 line on four targets in the victory. He and Brevyn Spann-Ford (50 percent, 2-24-0 line on two targets) again would handle TE duties without Ferguson.

  • Troy Franklin WR | DEN

    Broncos' Troy Franklin: Two grabs against Las Vegas

    Franklin caught two of four targets for 31 yards in Sunday's 29-19 win over the Raiders.

    Franklin continued his mostly underwhelming rookie campaign Sunday, managing to reel in just two passes from quarterback Bo Nix against the Raiders. Through 11 games, the 21-year-old wideout has recorded over two catches in just one contest and is averaging roughly three targets per game. Franklin's role as Denver's No. 4 wide receiver limits his potential upside while he contends for targets and playing time with fellow receivers Courtland Sutton, Devaughn Vele, Lil'Jordan Humphrey and Marvin Mims. Barring injuries, the Oregon product will likely continue to have an uphill battle for consistent usage going forward. The Broncos are set to host the Browns in a Week 13 matchup on Monday Night Football.
