Chicago Bears rookie running back Kyle Monangai has now scored touchdowns in back-to-back weeks as he's earned more work behind starter D'Andre Swift. Monangai was still the clear No.2 back in Week 11 against the Minnesota Vikings, handling 13 touches for 37 yards compared to Swift with 21 for 90, but the rookie is getting valuable touches on the goal line. The 23-year-old has outcarried Swift three to two inside the 10-yard line in the past two weeks. While Monangai doesn't have the explosiveness to break off long runs, he has standalone value as long as he maintains the work down near the goal line and mixes in with Swift occasionally. Monangai is one of the top handcuffs in fantasy and should be added off the waiver wire in most leagues if available.

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Tre Tucker found the end zone in Monday night's loss to the Dallas Cowboys, scoring his first touchdown since his breakout eight catch, 145-yard, three touchdown performance in Week 3 against the Washington Commanders. Tucker caught four of his eight targets for 47 yards and the score in the loss. With Jakobi Meyers traded to the Jaguars at the deadline, Tucker is thrust into the No. 1 wide receiver role and second pass-catching option behind star tight end Brock Bowers. The 24-year-old wideout finished second on the team in targets behind Bowers (12), and should continue to be involved as the Raiders play catch-up in most of their games.

Los Angeles Chargers running back Kimani Vidal carried the ball five times for 13 yards and caught two passes for -1 yards in the team's worst offensive showing of the year with a 35-6 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. He briefly left the game with a thigh injury before returning, but the offense never found its rhythm, running only 45 plays and maintaining possession for just 22 minutes. Vidal's roller-coaster season continued, fluctuating between productive games and complete duds. His workload might decrease after the Bolts' much-needed Week 12 bye, as rookie Omarion Hampton (ankle) appears close to returning from IR after shedding his walking boot and resuming side work in practice. If Hampton is activated in Week 13, Vidal could shift back into a secondary role. The bye week arrives at the perfect time for his recovery and for fantasy managers looking for clarity.

Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Geno Smith completed 27 of 42 passes for 238 yards with one touchdown and one interception while adding 14 yards on 4 carries on the ground in Monday night's 33-16 loss to the Dallas Cowboys. The Raiders came out with a pass-heavy game plan with only eight designed running back carries all game, but Smith couldn't take advantage of a poor Dallas defense. His 42 pass attempts were the most since Week 2 against the Los Angeles Chargers. The 35-year-old has mostly struggled in his first season in Las Vegas, throwing more interceptions (12) than touchdowns (11) and exceeding 300 yards passing just once, which came all the way back in Week 1. It doesn't get any easier for Smith in Week 12 against a tough Cleveland Browns defense.

Tennessee Titans running back Tony Pollard had 10 carries for 22 yards in Sunday's 16-13 loss to the Houston Texans in Week 11. Pollard also had three catches for four yards on three targets. The 28-year-old veteran scored a season low of 5.6 fantasy points and was out-snapped for the third time this season by backfield mate Tyjae Spears. Since Week 6, Pollard has only been able to eclipse over eight fantasy points once. The former explosive fantasy favorite has become a low-upside, touchdown-dependent flex option for managers. Pollard was been unable to find paydirt for a fifth straight week and has only been able to find the end zone twice this year. Heading into Week 12, Pollard will be a desperation flex option in deeper leagues in a difficult matchup against the Seattle Seahawks.

From RotoBaller

Tennessee Titans tight end Chig Okonkwo caught three passes for a team-high 56 yards on three targets in Sunday's 16-13 loss to the Houston Texans in Week 11. Okonkwo was able to play through a foot injury on Sunday that had limited his participation in practice all week leading up to the game. The 26-year-old had his best fantasy performance since Week 8 and had a season high in yards per target. Despite seeing targets further down the field, Okonkwo was unable to find the end zone and is still looking for his first touchdown this season. Okonkwo has only finished as a top-eight tight end once through the first 11 weeks and remains an unreliable option for fantasy managers. Heading into Week 12, Okonkwo should be viewed as a low-end TE2 against a top-ranked Seattle Seahawks defense.

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Ladd McConkey caught three passes for 13 yards on four targets in the team's blowout loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. The entire offense was ineffective, with Justin Herbert passing for only 81 yards, and the Chargers holding the ball for just 22 minutes. After scoring four touchdowns in his last six games, this was McConkey's lowest-target outing of the season and his second-worst game in receptions and yards. He entered Week 11 as the team's clear WR1, but Los Angeles couldn't sustain drives long enough for any receiver to produce. McConkey still leads the league in routes run and ranks in the top 12 in overall targets. With a Week 12 bye ahead, fantasy managers should see this as an outlier with better days ahead.

From RotoBaller

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb recorded five catches on seven targets for 66 yards and a touchdown in Monday night's 33-16 win over the Las Vegas Raiders. Lamb and George Pickens both sat out the first offensive series of the game due to a coach's decision, but both returned to their normal roles afterward and had strong nights. The star wideout took a backseat to Pickens in this game, with the former Steeler leading the team with 11 targets and exploding for 144 yards and a touchdown. Lamb still had a strong game for fantasy managers on a night where the Cowboys moved the ball at will, but it could have been an even bigger night for the 26-year-old if he had hauled in what would have been a walk-in touchdown near the end of the game. He will continue to rank as a strong WR1 moving forward, but a tougher matchup awaits in Week 12 against the Philadelphia Eagles.

From RotoBaller

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen was the only bright spot in the team's disastrous 35-6 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars, posting four receptions for 53 yards on six targets. He led the team in every receiving category on a day when Justin Herbert threw for just 81 yards, and the offense gained only 135 total yards. Allen's route rate had been trending down in recent weeks, but the veteran stepped up while the rest of the offense struggled to function. Even in a historically bad performance, Allen delivered a useful 9.3 PPR points. As the Chargers head into their desperately needed Week 12 bye, Allen still proves to be a reliable pass catcher heading into the fantasy playoff push.

Tennessee Titans rookie quarterback Cameron Ward went 24-for-37 for 194 yards with one touchdown in the crushing 16-13 loss on Sunday to the Houston Texans in Week 11. Ward also had three carries for a career high of 33 rushing yards with one lost fumble. The 23-year-old first overall pick put together his best fantasy performance of his young career, scoring over 14 fantasy points. Ward threw his lone touchdown to veteran wide receiver Van Jefferson on Sunday, making it his third game in four weeks throwing a touchdown. However, Ward had another turnover, bringing his total to 12 this season. Ward will once again be a QB3 in fantasy in a difficult matchup against a top-ranked Seattle Seahawks defense in Week 12.

From RotoBaller

Tennessee Titans running back Tyjae Spears had four carries for three yards in Sunday's 16-13 loss to the Houston Texans in Week 11. Spears also had five catches for 31 yards on five targets. The 24-year-old was able to claw out 8.4 fantasy points, making it the fifth straight game with over seven fantasy points. Sunday also marked the third time this season Spears out-snapped backfield mate Tony Pollard in a game. Spears continues to live off his receiving production to stay flex-worthy for fantasy managers in PPR leagues. Nearly all of his fantasy points were earned through the air, making it the fourth time in five games this season he's done that. Spears will remain a flex option in PPR leagues despite a difficult matchup against a top-ranked Seattle Seahawks defense in Week 12.

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott was in control all night in their 33-16 win over the Las Vegas Raiders on Monday night, completing 25 of 33 passes for 268 yards and four touchdowns. Prescott took only one sack for a loss of one yard and consistently moved the ball against a mediocre Raiders defense. It was a much-needed bounce-back performance for the 32-year-old quarterback, who had only one touchdown to three interceptions in his past two games. The four touchdowns tied his season high from Week 5 against the Jets, as Prescott connected with each of his top three targets in CeeDee Lamb, George Pickens, and Jake Ferguson for touchdowns and capped the night with a touchdown strike to Ryan Flournoy. Prescott will have a tougher matchup in Week 12 against the Philadelphia Eagles.

From RotoBaller

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert had his worst performance of the season in the team's 35-6 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars, completing just 10 of 18 passes for 81 yards and an interception before being pulled from the game in the second half. It was the first game this season without a passing touchdown for him, and only the eighth in his career. Herbert led the team in rushing with 21 yards, highlighting the offense's overall inefficiency. The Chargers managed only eight first downs, held the ball for just 22 minutes, and reached the red zone only once. Herbert was constantly under pressure behind an injured, overmatched offensive line that has now allowed 35 sacks this season. He was briefly evaluated for a concussion at the end of the first half after a sack, but returned to start the second half. Herbert and the Bolts get a much-needed bye in Week 12.

From RotoBaller

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Quentin Johnston had no catches on three targets in Sunday's 35-6 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. It was his second game with zero catches this season, but the entire offense struggled throughout the game. The Chargers only ran 45 plays, possessed the ball for 22 minutes, gained just 135 yards, and reached the red zone once. Justin Herbert threw for only 81 yards, giving Johnston minimal opportunities to make an impact. It's a game to move past, though the inconsistency is starting to become a pattern. With the Bolts heading into a much-needed Week 12 bye, Johnston gets a necessary reset before returning as a high-risk, high-reward WR3 for the final stretch of the fantasy season.

From RotoBaller

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver George Pickens continued his strong first season with the team in Monday night's win over the Las Vegas Raiders, catching nine of his 11 targets for 144 yards and a touchdown. Pickens and fellow star wideout CeeDee Lamb both sat out the first offensive series of the game due to a coach's decision, but it didn't prevent them from having big games, especially Pickens. The former Pittsburgh Steeler tied a season high in catches and had his third game with at least 130 yards receiving, which is now the most in the league among wide receivers after Monday night. While both Cowboys wideouts have been great, Pickens has outproduced Lamb since he returned in Week 7, with 383 receiving yards to Lamb's 335. He will continue to rank as a strong WR1 moving forward in Dallas' high-powered offense.

Chicago Bears rookie wide receiver Luther Burden III has been wildly inconsistent in his first year in the league in an offense with weapons galore for second-year quarterback Caleb Williams. The 21-year-old second-round selection out of Missouri only has three games with over 50 receiving yards, has scored just one time (back on Sept. 21), and has three games with negative yardage. Burden has been extremely hard to trust as a flex option in fantasy leagues as a result, but he might be worth stashing on your bench as we approach the final stretch of the 2025 season. In the last two games, Burden has played over 40% of the offensive snaps for the first time all year, leading to six receptions on eight targets for 78 yards. In the Week 11 win over the Vikings, he caught three passes for only 27 yards, but his five targets were a season high and tied for second on the team. At only 8% rostered in Yahoo leagues, fantasy managers may want to take a peek at the talented young wideout with upside in an improving offense.

From RotoBaller

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Darnell Mooney almost had the second 1,000-yard season of his career in 2024 with the Falcons, but this year has been an entirely different story. In eight games played, Mooney has only 16 receptions on 42 targets for 224 yards and no touchdowns. The 28-year-old former fifth-round pick has had four one-catch games and just has not been trustworthy for fantasy purposes. However, Mooney is now on the waiver-wire radar going into a Week 12 divisional contest against the New Orleans Saints after teammate Drake London (knee) sprained his PCL in Sunday's overtime loss to the Carolina Panthers. Mooney also injured his ribs in that game, but he was able to return after halftime and finished with three catches on four targets for 34 yards. Rostered in 31% of Yahoo leagues, Mooney might now become a more attractive flex play for however long London is out. The catch is that veteran quarterback Kirk Cousins is now taking over the offense with Michael Penix Jr. (knee) likely done for the year.

From RotoBaller

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Tyrell Shavers had the best game of his young career in Week 11, recording four catches for 90 yards and a touchdown on five targets in a win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Across 10 games this season, the 26-year-old has hauled in 11 catches for 172 yards and a score on 17 targets. Shavers was a beneficiary of Bills wideout Keon Coleman being a healthy scratch in Week 11 due to a coach's decision. While Coleman is expected to be back for Buffalo's Week 12 matchup against the Houston Texans, Shavers may have earned more playing time with his production in Week 11. The Bills may also be without tight end Dalton Kincaid (hamstring) for a second consecutive game against Houston, leaving the target landscape wide open for Shavers and fellow Bills wide receivers Khalil Shakir and Joshua Palmer. In deep fantasy leagues, Shavers could be worth targeting on the waiver wire.

From RotoBaller

Before his team's Week 11 bye, Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Alec Pierce appeared to be on a clear upward trajectory. Across four games from Week 7 to Week 10, the 25-year-old recorded 17 catches for 366 yards and a touchdown on 35 targets. Pierce has always been a big-play threat, averaging 18.2 yards per reception across 57 career games. However, his 6.5 target-per-game average in 2025 is a career-high and represents a change in his role within the Indianapolis offense. If he can continue to marry explosiveness with more consistent target volume, Pierce could be a true breakout wide receiver down the stretch of the season. In fantasy leagues where he may have been dropped during his bye week, Pierce is a must-add player off the waiver wire, even as the Colts head into a difficult Week 12 matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs.

From RotoBaller

Seattle Seahawks tight end AJ Barner had a breakout game in Week 11 against the Los Angeles Rams, recording 10 catches for 70 yards on 11 targets. The 23-year-old's high-volume outing was a major surprise, as he's cracked four targets just one other time across 10 games played in 2025. Overall, Barner has hauled in 31 catches for 306 yards and four touchdowns on 37 targets. Fantasy managers should not expect double-digit targets for Barner every week, but he's emerged as the most-trusted tight end in a very potent Seattle passing game. As a touchdown-dependent streamer, Barner could have some value in the right matchups in deeper formats. He's worth targeting on the waiver wire in fantasy leagues with 14 or more teams heading into a Week 12 meeting with the Tennessee Titans.
