A'Shawn Robinson DT | CAR
Panthers' A'Shawn Robinson: Records eight stops in Week 12
Robinson logged eight total tackles (five solo), including one tackle for loss, in Sunday's 30-27 loss to the Chiefs.
Robinson's eight tackles Sunday were the most he's posted in a game since Week 1, tying Xavier Woods for the second-most tackles on the Panthers' defense. The veteran defensive lineman has been one of Carolina's most consistent players this season, having recorded four or more tackles in all but two games. Robinson has accumulated 53 total tackles, including 3.0 sacks, through 10 appearances this season, and he's expected to continue wreaking havoc on opposing offenses as the Panthers host the Buccaneers in Week 13.

Panthers' Xavier Woods: Fills stat sheet vs. Chiefs
Woods recorded eight total tackles (seven solo), including one tackle for loss, and defended one pass in Sunday's 30-27 loss to the Chiefs.
The veteran safety tied A'Shawn Robinson for the second-most tackles on the Panthers' defense in Sunday's loss, trailing Josey Jewell's nine-stop performance. Woods is on pace for his best season in Carolina, recording 77 total tackles and four passes defended, including two interceptions, through 11 appearances. Expect the 29-year-old to continue starting alongside Jordan Fuller in the Panthers' secondary, serving as one of the team's defensive leaders.

Panthers' Josey Jewell: Leading tackler in loss
Jewell recorded nine total tackles (six solo), including 1.0 sacks, in Sunday's 30-27 loss to the Chiefs.
The Iowa product was one of five Panthers to bring down Patrick Mahomes while also leading the team in total tackles during Sunday's narrow loss. Jewell has really impressed since returning from injury in Week 8, recording 31 total tackles, including 1.0 sacks, and two passes defended, with one interception, across his last four games. Expect Jewell to continue making plays as the Panthers host the Buccaneers in Week 13.

Rams' Christian Rozeboom: Career-high 12 tackles in defeat
Rozeboom recorded 12 tackles (seven solo), including a tackle for loss, during Sunday's 37-20 loss to the Eagles.
While a dreadful day overall for the Rams defense, it was a banner day for the veteran linebacker, who notched his third start with double-digit tackles out of his last four, and fifth on the season. The continued volume of tackles should keep Rozeboom on the IDP radar as the Rams travel to New Orleans in Week 13.

Brian Robinson Jr. RB | WAS
Commanders' Brian Robinson: Wait-and-see mode with ankle
Coach Dan Quinn said Monday that Robinson (ankle) will be a "wait-and-see scenario" ahead of Sunday's game against the Titans, Ben Standig of The Athletic reports.
Robinson initially injured his ankle early in this past Sunday's loss to the Cowboys. He was cleared to return by the medical staff, but Robinson aggravated the ankle in the second half and wasn't able to get back in the game. Robinson ended up playing just 12 offensive snaps all day. He's battled a multitude of injuries since the calendar flipped to October. With Austin Ekeler (concussion) also banged up, the Commanders again may have to turn to Jeremy McNichols in Week 13.

Kendall Fuller CB | MIA
Dolphins' Kendall Fuller: Expected to miss Week 13
Head coach Mike McDaniel told reporters Monday that Fuller (concussion) will likely miss the Dolphins' Week 13 matchup against the Packers on Thursday night, Joe Schad of The Palm Beach Post reports.
Fuller has been sidelined for the Dolphins' last two games after sustaining his second concussion of the year in a Week 10 win over the Rams, and McDaniel's comments Monday suggest that he's likely to miss even more time. Cam Smith and Storm Duck are expected to continue seeing increased work in Miami's secondary until Fuller returns to the field.

Jaylen Wright RB | MIA
Dolphins' Jaylen Wright: Handles No. 2 role in Week 12 win
Wright had seven carries for 28 yards during Sunday's 34-15 win over the Patriots. He failed to secure his only target.
Wright seems to have secured the No. 2 role in Miami's backfield behind De'Von Achane, who rushed 10 times for 32 yards but scored twice through the air while securing three of four targets for 24 yards. Veteran Raheem Mostert, meanwhile, had just two carries for five yards. Wright has been impressive in limited opportunities, but Achane's extreme efficiency in scoring situations means the Dolphins' remaining backfield opportunities aren't especially high-value for fantasy purposes. Wright will look to continue building momentum Thursday versus the Packers.

Colby Parkinson TE | LAR
Rams' Colby Parkinson: Makes one catch
Parkinson secured one of two targets for 10 yards during Sunday's 37-20 loss to the Eagles.
As a group, the Rams' tight ends have put together back-to-back dismal performances, as Parkinson caught the group's only target last week and secured the only catch among them this week. Davis Allen, who led the group in snap count once again, failed to secure his only target and saw his share of the workload dip to just under half the plays on offense. With Hunter Long syphoning time as well, the trio of tight ends rotating in and out makes it difficult to trust any of them for fantasy purposes heading into a Week 13 contest against the Saints.

Quay Walker LB | GB
Packers' Quay Walker: Leading tackler in win
Walker recorded seven total tackles (six solo), including two tackles for loss, and defended one pass in Sunday's 38-10 win over the 49ers.
Walker's performance could have been even better, as he dropped what appeared to be an easy interception in the second quarter of Sunday's blowout win. Regardless, the 2022 first-round pick from Georgia tied rookie Javon Bullard as the Packers' leading tackler in Week 12 and has now accumulated 79 total tackles through 10 appearances this season. Expect Walker to remain one of the Packers' top inside linebackers as the season progresses.

Javon Bullard SAF | GB
Packers' Javon Bullard: Another strong showing
Bullard recorded seven total tackles (six solo) in Sunday's 38-10 win over the 49ers.
The rookie defensive back from Georgia tied Quay Walker as the Packers' leading tackler in Sunday's blowout win, playing 98 percent of the team's defensive snaps. Bullard, who's transitioned from playing safety to playing in the slot, has now posted 66 total tackles and one pass defended across his first 11 games in the NFL. He's expected to continue serving as one of Green Bay's top tacklers in Week 13, when the Packers host the Dolphins on Thursday night.
