Indianapolis Colts LB Germaine Pratt recorded 15 solo tackles, 20 total tackles and two tackles for loss against the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 12.

Chicago Bears RB Kyle Monangai, rushed 12 times for 48 yards and a touchdown in a Week 12 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers.
| Footballguys view: Monangai was more effective than D'Andre Swift for the first time this season, and he got more opportunities to touch the ball. This could be turning into a committee, with Monangai being the favorite for goal line carries because of his bruising mentality as an inside runner. He's a what-the-heck flex against the Eagles next week. |
Cincinnati Bengals TE Noah Fant had a 9-yard reception on his lone target in Week 12 against the New England Patriots.

Cincinnati Bengals WR Andrei Iosivas ended up with four receptions for a team-best 61 yards on seven targets in Week 12 against the New England Patriots.
| Footballguys view: Iosivas wasn't a big hit as a Week 12 sleeper in place of a suspended Ja'Marr Chase, but he did enough to avoid being a lineup liability. Iosivas did leave the game briefly with an injury, but as long he's healthy enough to play on Thanksgiving, he'll be a sleeper again in Week 13, but this time in place of Tee Higgins, who will miss the game with a concussion. |

Cincinnati Bengals RB Chase Brown rushed 19 times for 107 yards in Week 12 against the New England Patriots, and he added two receptions for 23 yards on four targets.
| Footballguys view: Brown posted the best game on the ground against the Patriots that we've seen thisseason by a good margin. Samaje Perine is unlikely to be ready to return on Thanksgiving, so consider Brown a high floor RB1 against the Ravens in Week 13. |

Indianapolis Colts WR Josh Downs caught two passes for 10 yards against the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 12. He was targeted six times during the game.

Cincinnati Bengals QB Joe Flacco completed 19-of-37 passes for 183 yards, one touchdown and one interception in Week 12 against the New England Patriots, and he had a 3-yard run on his only attempt.
| Footballguys view: Flacco, who left the game briefly with a finger injury, threw the 16th pick six of his career, and it was an easy one for Marcus Jones. That is just too much for the Bengals to overcome even though they got a pick six of their own off of Drake Maye. We should see Joe Burrow return for Thanksgiving night at Baltimore, but if this is the last start for Flacco this year, it has been another memorable season even though he is past his prime. |

Chicago Bears WR Luther Burden III caught three of five targets for 46 yards in a Week 12 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers. He also had a carry for nine yards.
Link to storyIndianapolis Colts WR Alec Pierce caught one pass for 26 yards against the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 12. He was targeted two times during the game.
| Footballguys view: Pierce was leveling off as a high ceiling WR3/Flex play functioning as the top deep threat in what was one of the best offenses in the league. The Colts offense has slowed down in recent weeks, and Pierce was a lineup liability with the team going conservative to protect a lead that did hold up. Pierce isn't a good start in Week 13 against the Texans, but should be held unless there is a very compelling name on the waiver wire. |
Chicago Bears WR Rome Odunze caught three of nine targets for 53 yards in a Week 12 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers.
| Footballguys view: Odunze has been a textbook boom/bust fantasy receiver this season. The problem is that five of the last seven games have been busts. Rookies Luther Burden and Colston Loveland are coming on, but Odunze still has been leading the passing game in targets. It's reasonable to bench him for Week 13 against Philadelphia, and maybe not put him back in your lineup until he makes you regret not checking the box next to his name. |
Indianapolis Colts WR Michael Pittman Jr. caught five passes for 27 yards and one touchdown against the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 12. He was targeted eight times during the game.
| Footballguys view: Pittman was on a fantasy tear from Weeks 7-9, but his ceiling has fallen significantly since Daniel Jones has started showing cracks in his game. He is still worth a WR3/Flex play against the Texans in Week 13, but that might be all he is down the stretch unless Jones reverses his negative momentum coming out of the excruciating overtime loss to the Chiefs. |
New England Patriots LB Harold Landry went for four totals stops, including three of the solo variety, with a sack, a tackle for loss and two quarterback hits in Week 12 against the Cincinnati Bengals.

Cincinnati Bengals LB Barrett Carter was good for a game-high 16 total stops and eight solo tackles in Week 12 against the New England Patriots.
Link to storyChicago Bears WR DJ Moore had five receptions for 64 yards and two touchdowns in a Week 12 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers.
| Footballguys view: Moore had been in the doldrums lately, but he rewarded fantasy teams that stuck with his stellar talent in an inefficient and spread out passing game. The matchup against the Eagles is tough in Week 13, but Moore earned a WR3/Flex spot with this showing. |

Cincinnati Bengals S Geno Stone registered 13 total stops, six solo tackles, a pass defensed and a 32-yard interception return for touchdown in Week 12 against the New England Patriots.

New England Patriots CB Marcus Jones posted five total stops with three solo tackles, two passes defensed and a 33-yard interception return for touchdown in Week 12 against the Cincinnati Bengals.

Indianapolis Colts TE Tyler Warren caught five passes for 45 yards against the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 12. He was targeted seven times during the game.
Link to storyChicago Bears QB Caleb Williams completed 19-of-35 for 239 yards with three touchdowns without an interception in a Week 12 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers. He also added 21 yards on four carries.
| Footballguys view: Williams was sacked by TJ Watt in the end zone and coughed up the ball for a touchdown, but Ben Johnson trusted him on fourth down in his own territory later in the first half, and Williams converted on a scramble that helped the offense calm down. It wasn't all pretty or nearly perfect for Williams, but the Steelers offense had many breakdowns in the secondary that made life easier for the second year quarterback. Williams isn't a good play against the Eagles on the road in Week 13, but this game gives you hope that he'll be useful in fantasy leagues with championships on the line against the 49ers in Week 17. |

Indianapolis Colts WR Ashton Dulin caught one pass for 48 yards against the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 12. He was targeted one time during the game.
| Footballguys view: Dulin suffered a hamstring injury during the second half of Sunday's game. He was listed as questionable to return, but did not. We'll monitor as developments warrant. The Colts play the Texans in Week 13. |

New England Patriots WR Kyle Williams posted a single 18-yard reception on his lone target in Week 12 against the Cincinnati Bengals, and he had three kick returns for 86 yards.
Link to storyIndianapolis Colts RB Jonathan Taylor rushed for 58 yards on 16 carries against the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 12. He also caught two passes for eight yards during the game.
| Footballguys view: Taylor was held down all day, and most importantly on third down to open overtime, which effectively ended the Colts chances to win at Kansas City. The Colts will need Taylor to come up big to win a big divisional game against a stifling Texans pass defense in Week 13. |
Jonathan Taylor player page
New England Patriots WR Stefon Diggs ended up with two catches for 20 yards on three targets in Week 12 against the Cincinnati Bengals.
| Footballguys view: Diggs was a dud in a matchup that was supposed to a fantasy bonanza for the Patriots offense. With Kayshon Boutte back, the Patriots have too many mouths to feed at wide receiver. The matchup is good against the Giants next week, but Diggs is only a WR3/Flex with the Patriots offensive line banged up. |

New England Patriots TE Austin Hooper went for three receptions for 39 yards on four targets in Week 12 against the Cincinnati Bengals.

New England Patriots WR Mack Hollins finished with a pair of receptions for 30 yards on six targets in Week 12 against the Cincinnati Bengals.

Indianapolis Colts QB Daniel Jones went 19-for-31 for 181 yards and two touchdowns against the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 12. He also rushed for 16 yards on three carries during the game.
| Footballguys view: Jones started this game playing very well, but was impotent and generated almost no offense in the second half. He didn't make any huge mistakes, but did throw a ball late in the fourth quarter that could have been picked and cost his team that game. The Colts offense has a tough matchup against the Texans next week. Jones is probably best left on your bench, and he might not be a good start again until Week 16 against San Francisco. |

Baltimore Ravens S Kyle Hamilton recorded six solo tackles and 10 total tackles against the New York Jets in Week 12.
Link to storyNew England Patriots TE Hunter Henry ended up with seven receptions for 115 yards and a touchdown on 10 targets in Week 12 against the Cincinnati Bengals.
| Footballguys view: Always start your tight ends against the Bengals. Austin Hooper returned for this one, and he even caught a few ball for good gains, but this was Henry's show in the box score. Consider Henry a high ceiling TE1 play against the Giants to see if he can keep this up and give Mark Andrews extra consideration against the Bengals on Thanksgiving night. |

Baltimore Ravens LB Roquan Smith recorded six solo tackles and 11 total tackles against the New York Jets in Week 12.

New England Patriots RB Rhamondre Stevenson rushed six times for just five yards in Week 12 against the Cincinnati Bengals, and he had a single 5-yard receptions on two targets.
Link to storyRhamondre Stevenson player page
Baltimore Ravens TE Mark Andrews caught one pass for nine yards against the New York Jets in Week 12. He also rushed for two yards on two carries during the game.
| Footballguys view: Andrews drew a long pass interference penalty and he still has the value add of being the team's tush push quarterback, but with Lamar Jackson playing poorly in the last three games, he hasn't put up much in the way of passing game numbers. That could change on Thanksgiving against the Bengals defense that just gave up the third 100-yard game of Hunter Henry's career. |

New England Patriots WR DeMario Douglas ended up with a single 37-yard reception on his only target in Week 12 against the Cincinnati Bengals, while adding a 14-yard rushing attempt on his only backfield touch.

Baltimore Ravens TE Isaiah Likely caught one pass for 10 yards against the New York Jets in Week 12. He was targeted three times during the game.
Link to storyNew England Patriots RB TreVeyon Henderson rushed 18 times for a team-high 66 yards in Week 12 against the Cincinnati Bengals, while adding three receptions for 15 yards on four targets.
| Footballguys view: Even with the return of Rhamondre Stevenson, the rookie second round pick was the clear lead back. He didn't have a big fantasy day, but Henderson's number was called first in an epic goal line stand by the Bengals when all three Patriots backs got a shot to score, and Stevenson was pedestrian on his other touches. Henderson is still a high ceiling RB2 against the Giants next week. |
Baltimore Ravens WR DeAndre Hopkins caught two passes for 13 yards against the New York Jets in Week 12. He was targeted three times during the game.
Link to storyDeAndre Hopkins player page
New England Patriots QB Drake Maye completed 22-of-35 passes for 294 yards, one touchdown and one interception in Week 12 against the Cincinnati Bengals, and he rushed five times for 22 yards.
| Footballguys view: The Bengals defense was about as good as they have been all season, forcing punts and even notching a Geno Stone pick six against Maye in the first half. Maye was able to make enough throws after that - especially to Hunter Henry - to outpace a Bengals team that wasn't able to generate much in the passing game without Ja'Marr Chase. Maye disappointed for fantasy in what was a great matchup, but he also saw two starting offensive linemen go down. Hopefully the offense will be full strength after their Week 14 bye, but before that, they'll face the Giants next week. |

Minnesota Vikings WR Jordan Addison went without a catch on just a single target in Week 12 against the Green Bay Packers.
| Footballguys view: You can drop Addison in short bench leagues and maybe even in typical redraft leagues with little hope of a Vikings offensive renaissance on the horizon. |

Minnesota Vikings TE T.J. Hockenson posted four receptions for 19 yards on four targets in Week 12 against the Green Bay Packers.

Baltimore Ravens WR Zay Flowers caught five passes for 58 yards against the New York Jets in Week 12. He was targeted six times during the game. Flowers also rushed for 11 yards on two carries.
| Footballguys view: Flowers drew a long pass interference and was the most explosive element in the Ravens offense, but the offense was not that threatening despite the mismatch on paper against the Jets. He has a high ceiling against the Bengals on Thanksgiving night, but Flowers needs Lamar Jackson to play better to reach it. He should be in Week 13 lineups as a WR3/Flex. |
Zay Flowers player page
Minnesota Vikings WR Justin Jefferson posted four receptions for a team-high 48 yards on six targets in Week 12 against the Green Bay Packers.
| Footballguys view: It's time to adjust expectations to see this as a typical game for Jefferson instead of a floor game. Perhaps the Vikings will get an offensive boost if they start undrafted rookie Max Brosmer, but that should illustrate just how much JJ McCarthy has been holding this offense back. The Vikings schedule does get easier after the game at Seattle next week, so there is some hope that Jefferson can help fantasy teams that make the postseason despite his disappointing campaign. |
