Indianapolis Colts head coach Shane Steichen said that quarterback Daniel Jones (leg) is "good-to-go" for his team's Week 12 matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs. Steichen also clarified that Jones' injury is actually to his fibula after it was initially reported as a calf issue, per James Boyd of The Athletic. Either way, Jones was able to practice in full on Friday after being limited on Thursday and will be active against Kansas City. Jones has played well in his first season in Indianapolis, completing 69.9% of his pass attempts for 2,659 yards, 15 touchdowns, and seven interceptions across 10 games. He's also added 143 yards and five touchdowns as a rusher. However, Jones has been particularly turnover-prone of late, recording four interceptions and six fumbles (three lost) over his last two games. That could be an issue in a tough road matchup against Kansas City, particularly if his mobility is limited in any way. Jones profiles as a low-end fantasy QB1 in Week 12.

Los Angeles Chargers rookie tight end Oronde Gadsden ranks as the TE12 in half-PPR fantasy points per game through the first nine games of his NFL career. Gadsden has developed strong chemistry with quarterback Justin Herbert and has 37 catches on 49 targets for 507 yards and two touchdowns going into the team's Week 12 bye. However, the 22-year-old hasn't scored since Oct. 19. Gadsden has cooled off a bit since back-to-back weeks of finding the end zone in Weeks 7 and 8, but he's had at least five targets in a game since all the way back in Week 5. The primary concern for Gadsden's fantasy managers going forward is the Chargers' banged-up offensive line, which might give quarterback Justin Herbert very little time to throw the football in the final stretch of the season against some tough opponents. The fifth-rounder could return with a bang in Week 13 against the Raiders, so fantasy managers shouldn't give up hope just yet.

Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker will face the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday in Week 12. Butker has struggled this season, and his struggles continued last week against the Denver Broncos. Butker knocked through both of his field goal attempts, but missed one of his two extra-point attempts in Week 11. Butker has an 84.2% field goal percentage and 85.7% extra-point percentage this season, both marks rank outside the top-20 at the position. That said, Butker should be involved in a shootout against Indianapolis this week. The Colts offense has the most yards and points scored this season, which means the Chiefs will need to put a lot of points on the board to keep up. Butker should get a piece of the action and could provide value at the kicker position. Butker is ranked K9 in our RotoBaller rankings, making him worthy of a start in most leagues.

Cleveland Browns quarterback Dillon Gabriel (concussion) returned to practice on Friday but has still not fully cleared the league's concussion protocol, according to Mary Kay Cabot of Cleveland.com. Gabriel was forced to exit early from Cleveland's Week 11 loss to the Baltimore Ravens after suffering a concussion and will miss the team's Week 12 matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders as well. With Gabriel sidelined, fellow rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders will make his first NFL start against Las Vegas. While a monster performance from Sanders could change things, Gabriel is expected to resume starting duties in Cleveland once cleared to return from his concussion. Given that he was able to return to practice in some capacity on Friday, Gabriel's return could come when the Browns will host the San Francisco 49ers in Week 13.

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce will face the Indianapolis Colts in Week 12. Kelce was the lone bright spot among the Chiefs pass catchers in last week's loss to the Denver Broncos. The veteran tight end hauled in nine catches for 91 yards and a touchdown on 13 targets in Week 11. Last week's totals set new season-highs in receptions and targets for Kelce, making it easily his best performance of the year. With fellow pass catcher Xavier Worthy officially questionable for Sunday's matchup, Kelce could have another ceiling performance against the Colts. The Indianapolis defense is one of the best matchups for tight ends, allowing the fourth-most fantasy points to opposing tight ends this season. Kelce is ranked TE4 in our RotoBaller Half-PPR rankings, making him a top-end option at the position this week. Kelce has had a resurgent 2025 season, and that should continue against the Colts.

The Minnesota Vikings have been among the most unpredictable teams in the league this season, but running back Aaron Jones Sr. (shoulder) is off the injury report and set to get the majority of backfield work against the Green Bay Packers in Week 12. The former Green Bay draft pick is earning regular work in the Vikings' passing game with 12 targets in the past two weeks, and with 22 overall touches last week alone, he's been the team's preferred option over Jordan Mason. The Packers are a tough matchup, ranking third in yards per carry against and 12th against PPR running backs, but Jones has finished within the top 25 at his position three weeks in a row, even as the Vikings have struggled. While the overall circumstances aren't ideal, Jones has demonstrated a reliable enough fantasy floor that he can be considered in an RB3/flex role this week.

Denver Broncos wide receiver Marvin Mims Jr. probably finds himself on the waiver wire in most fantasy football leagues with the Broncos headed on their bye in Week 12. Mims caught six of seven targets for a season-high 85 yards in the team's miraculous comeback win over the New York Giants in Week 7, but then he suffered a concussion the following week against the Dallas Cowboys and missed Weeks 9 and 10. In his return to action in Sunday's big win over the Kansas City Chiefs, the 23-year-old played a season-low 24% of the offensive snaps and was not targeted at all. The former second-rounder still has plenty of big-play ability, but during his time away with a concussion, Troy Franklin and rookie Pat Bryant became more involved on offense, and that could continue in Week 13 for a Sunday night contest against Washington. Until further notice, Mims is off the fantasy radar as Denver's WR4.

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (ankle) is officially listed as questionable to play in his team's Week 12 matchup against the Atlanta Falcons, per Matthew Paras of The Times-Picayune. Kamara has been listed as a limited practice participant all week as he battles a nagging ankle injury that has plagued him for much of the 2025 season. The 30-year-old had an encouraging game in his final outing before the Saints' Week 11 bye, recording 115 scrimmage yards on 25 touches against the Carolina Panthers. If he's unable to play in Week 12, rookie Devin Neal and Audric Estime would likely handle the backfield work for New Orleans against Atlanta on Sunday. Should Kamara be active, he profiles as a high-end fantasy RB2 and could be in for another big week against the reeling Falcons.

Minnesota Vikings quarterback J.J. McCarthy should be considered a volatile Superflex option when his team goes to Lambeau Field to take on the Green Bay Packers in Week 12. The former Michigan star's overall numbers are not pretty -- he's completed only 53% of his passing attempts and thrown eight interceptions in five games -- but the Vikings have continued to preach patience. The Packers rank third in yards per play allowed, which presents a difficult matchup, but McCarthy has saved his best for NFC North road games thus far, as six of his eight total touchdowns this season took place in victories at Chicago and at Detroit. Additionally, McCarthy has also shown rushing ability by compiling 110 rushing yards and two touchdowns on only 24 carries. Ultimately, however, McCarthy is on the road and has not played well lately, so managers will have to gauge their risk tolerance for playing the league's youngest starter as the fantasy playoffs approach.

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Marquise Brown will take on the Indianapolis Colts in Week 12. Brown had a serviceable performance in Week 11, catching four passes for 40 yards against the Denver Broncos. While he did not have a big game, Brown finished third on the team in receiving yards against a tough opponent. Fellow wide receiver Xavier Worthy got a full practice in on Friday but is officially listed as questionable, which could boost Brown's fantasy value. Brown could fill the field-stretching role while Rashee Rice and Travis Kelce compete for the short and intermediate targets against Indianapolis. The Colts defense is an advantageous matchup, allowing the 10th-most fantasy points to opposing wide receivers this season. Brown is currently ranked WR64 in our RotoBaller Half-PPR rankings, making him a desperation flex candidate, but that ranking would climb dramatically if Worthy is ruled out.

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jalen Nailor should be avoided in most formats when his struggling offense goes on the road to play Green Bay in Week 12. The Vikings have counted on Nailor in big spots -- like a game-clinching catch at Detroit and a fourth-quarter touchdown against Baltimore -- but his overall volume, 3.7 targets per game, hasn't been enough to rely upon on a week-to-week basis. Additionally, the Vikings are having a hard time simply staying on the field. During the past three weeks, Minnesota has averaged 58 plays as quarterback J.J. McCarthy has struggled to acclimate to the NFL. With Nailor set to face a Green Bay defense that ranks ninth overall against half-PPR receivers, managers should look for a better option this week.

From RotoBaller

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jordan Addison has fit the bill as a boom-or-bust WR3 this season, which should continue when Minnesota travels to Green Bay in Week 12. The third-year receiver has seen more famine than feast of late, which includes four straight weeks outside of the top 30 PPR receivers. Vikings quarterback J.J. McCarthy has struggled without a doubt, but Addison also dropped two big passes last week, including a picture-perfect ball on a deep route that had a chance to score. Green Bay ranks 11th against PPR receivers and Minnesota is wavering, but Addison is talented, still earning enough targets (18 the past two weeks), and the Vikings' offense has enough pieces that some managers may be willing to stomach the risk of another bad week in hopes Addison will break the slump in a big way.

The Cincinnati Bengals have activated tight end Mike Gesicki (pectoral) from Injured Reserve ahead of their Week 12 matchup against the New England Patriots, according to Kelsey Conway of the Cincinnati Enquirer. Conway reports that Gesicki "will play a big role" against New England with Bengals wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase sidelined due to suspension. Gesicki has been out since Week 6 due to a pectoral injury. In six games before getting hurt, the 30-year-old tight end recorded eight catches for 61 yards on 16 targets. While his pre-injury production is underwhelming, Gesicki has had big games in previous seasons when the Bengals are missing wide receivers. Still, there's no guarantee that Gesicki will even supplant Noah Fant as Cincinnati's top pass-catching tight end. Gesicki remains tough for fantasy managers to trust in Week 12.

The Minnesota Vikings are going through a rough patch right now, but Justin Jefferson remains a WR1 candidate when the team travels to Green Bay in Week 12. The Vikings are averaging just 58 plays during their past three games with quarterback J.J. McCarthy, during which the offense has been a mess of drops, penalties, and bad throws. Through all of it, Jefferson still ranks 13th overall among PPR receivers, and he's still earned at least nine targets in seven straight games. Green Bay ranks ninth overall against half-PPR receivers, presenting a difficult matchup for an offense already struggling. But even as the Vikings appear committed to riding with McCarthy's ups and downs, Jefferson is still a superstar who should be in fantasy lineups come Sunday.

From RotoBaller

Minnesota Vikings running back Jordan Mason should be left out of starting lineups in standard formats when his team travels to Green Bay in Week 12. Mason scored a touchdown in last week's loss to the Chicago Bears, but has seen his workload lessened since Aaron Jones Sr. returned from injured reserve. With Jones fully healthy the past two weeks, the former San Francisco 49er has played just 25% and 16% of Minnesota's offensive snaps, respectively, which considerably lowers his fantasy ceiling. Additionally, the matchup is not favorable, as Green Bay ranks third in the NFL in yards per rushing attempt allowed. Added to the Vikings' struggles in the passing game -- quarterback J.J. McCarthy is completing just 53% of passing attempts -- Mason's diminished role has him in RB4 territory for this week.

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice will take on the Indianapolis Colts in Week 12. Rice struggled to find success against the vaunted Denver defense in last week's loss. Rice caught six passes for 38 yards on nine targets in Week 11. The good news is he finished second on the team in targets, and he should continue being a target hog this week against Indianapolis. The Colts defense has given up the 10th-most fantasy points to opposing wide receivers this season, meaning Rice could bounce back in a big way. With fellow receiver Xavier Worthy officially questionable for Sunday's contest, Rice could be relied upon even more in the passing game. The fact that the Colts offense has scored the most points this season bodes well for this becoming a shootout, and Rice would benefit. Rice is ranked WR4 in our RotoBaller Half-PPR rankings, meaning that he's a locked-and-loaded WR1 in Week 12.

Minnesota Vikings kicker Will Reichard should be regarded as a No. 2 kicker option in Week 12, which should keep him off the starting radar in most formats. The former Alabama standout has put together an excellent second season in Minnesota by making 19 of 21 field goal attempts and all 19 extra points, but the Vikings' offense has sputtered in the past two weeks. Starting quarterback J.J. McCarthy is completing just more than half of his passes and has thrown five interceptions in the past three games, which has naturally limited the offense. While tied to a struggling offense facing a road game against one of the NFL's better defenses, Reichard can be stashed in Week 12 with more favorable matchups on the horizon.

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Xavier Worthy (ankle) is officially questionable to play in Week 12 against the Indianapolis Colts as he battles an ankle injury. However, Pete Sweeney of The Kansas City Star reports that "all indications this week were that (Worthy) is trending in the right direction." Worthy was able to practice in full on Friday after starting the week as a non-participant in practice. Across eight games this season, the 22-year-old has recorded 27 receptions for 281 yards and one touchdown on 45 targets. It's been a particular struggle of late for Worthy, as he's recorded at least five catches or 50 receiving yards just once in his last five games. If active against Indianapolis, Worthy profiles as a low-end fantasy WR3 in Week 12.

From RotoBaller

Fantasy managers should not put much stock into tight end T.J. Hockenson when the Minnesota Vikings take on the Green Bay Packers in Week 12. The veteran has yet to reach 50 yards receiving in a game this season and is averaging just more than two catches per outing during the past month. Minnesota has struggled in back-to-back weeks with quarterback J.J. McCarthy, though Hockenson's fantasy output had diminished relative to prior years even before McCarthy returned from injury. In 10 games this season, Hockenson has finished within the top 10 fantasy tight ends only once, and managers should consider starting him only in formats that play more than one tight end.

From RotoBaller

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Quentin Johnston looked like the team's top receiver to begin the year, but he's cooled off considerably in recent weeks and heads into the team's bye in Week 12 after putting up a donut on just three targets in the Week 11 blowout loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. It was the second time in the last four games that he finished with no catches. The 24-year-old former first-rounder out of TCU does have six touchdown grabs in 10 games in 2025, but half of those came in the first two weeks of the season. Since Oct. 5, Johnston hasn't gone over 53 receiving yards in a game and has scored only twice. With a banged-up offensive line in L.A., Johnston's rest-of-season outlook could be rough. The Bolts have a plus matchup coming out of the bye against the Raiders in Week 13, but after that, they have the Eagles, Texans, Chiefs, and Broncos -- all difficult matchups.
