Sit or Start for Week 12

QBRBWRTEKD/ST

Sit Drake Maye vs Dolphins Maye has evolved into a serviceable fantasy QB. He completed 30 of 40 passes for 282 yards, two touchdowns and one interception in Sunday's 28-22 loss to the Rams. He also rushed three times for 27 yards and lost a fumble. Maye threw a 10-yard touchdown pass to Kendrick Bourne in the first quarter and a four-yard touchdown pass to offensive lineman Vederian Lowe in the fourth. This was the third time in six starts that Maye mustered multiple touchdown passes, but the lack of talent around him continues to limit Maye's fantasy upside as he adjusts to the NFL. The third overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft has much more value in dynasty and keeper formats than in redraft leagues considering he has as many turnovers as touchdown passes (nine), and Maye's fantasy upside will be limited in a Week 12 matchup against a stingy Dolphins secondary. The Dolphins rank #4 in our Pass Defense Power Rankings.

Sit MATTHEW STAFFORD vs Eagles Stafford is coming off a big game in which he completed 18 of 27 passes for 295 yards and four touchdowns in the Rams' 28-22 win against the Patriots on Sunday. He also rushed four times for zero yards. Stafford faced little resistance against the Patriots defense, tossing a pair of touchdowns to Cooper Kupp, as well as one each to Puka Nacua and Colby Parkinson. Kupp and Nacua again dominated the target share from the veteran quarterback and made some explosive plays, with Kupp hauling in a 69-yard touchdown pass and Nacua garnering a big 37-yard catch of his own. The duo combined for 13 catches for 229 yards and three touchdowns, and as long as they stay healthy, Stafford's fantasy forecast seems much brighter than his dismal start of the season -- he has a 10:3 TD:INT ratio in the Rams' last four games versus a 3:4 TD:INT through the Rams' first six games with Kupp and Nacua both missing time. The Eagles and their top-tier pass defense presents a much more difficult task for Stafford and the Rams in Week 12. The Eagles rank #1 in our Pass Defense Power Rankings. The Eagles' defense is playing exceptionally well lately and it is the one thing that gives us pause. While there is certainly upside and we'd pick Stafford over a few of the other quarterbacks we have ranked around him, there's a downside here as Philadelphia may also be able to cause havoc with their blitz packages.

Will Levis vs Texans
- Levis completed 17 of 31 pass attempts for 295 yards, one touchdown and one interception while rushing seven times for 18 yards in Sunday's 23-13 loss to Minnesota. Levis didn't have his best game in terms of completion rate (55 percent), setting a new low for the 2024 season against Minnesota. However, the Kentucky product did manage to bolster fantasy managers' scores with a 98-yard touchdown pass to Nick Westbrook-Ikhine on third down in the second half. Levis' inconsistent play limits his value to deeper leagues heading into next week's road tilt against the Texans.

Brock Purdy vs Packers
-  He is currently listed as Questionable on the injury report, and may wind up being a dreaded GTD (Game Time Decision).Coach Kyle Shanahan said Monday that Purdy is day-to-day due to a sore right shoulder, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports. Purdy had a season-low 159 yards on 21-for-28 passing during Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Seahawks, tossing a touchdown to WR Jauan Jennings but also throwing his eighth interception of the season. A health concern may now result in some practice limitations when the 49ers begin Week 12 prep Wednesday, but Shanahan calling him day-to-day indicates Purdy likely will be good to go this coming Sunday at Green Bay.

C.J. Stroud vs Titans
-  The Titans rank #2 in our Pass Defense Power Rankings. Analyzing various factors very carefully, we expect him to post nice fantasy stats this week.Stroud completed 23 of 34 passes for 257 yards with no touchdowns and one interception and rushed three times for 26 yards in the Texans' 34-10 win over the Cowboys on Monday night. Stroud didn't have to do an inordinate amount through the air with Joe Mixon once again putting together a dominant performance that included three rushing TDs. The second-year signal-caller still furnished a solid yardage total and connected with eight different targets, including on four occasions with the returning Nico Collins. Stroud's yardage total was his second highest since Week 5, and he'll next take aim at the Titans defense in a Week 12 home divisional clash.

Bryce Young vs Chiefs
- Panthers head coach Dave Canales confirmed that Young will remain the team's starting quarterback for Sunday's game against the Chiefs, Mike Kaye of The Charlotte Observer reports. After a five-game benching earlier in the season, Young returned to the starting lineup Week 8, when Andy Dalton was unavailable after suffering a thumb injury in a car accident. Though Dalton was cleared to resume playing Week 9, Young proceeded to start in both of the Panthers' final two games prior to their Week 11 bye, guiding Carolina to wins over the Saints and Giants while completing 60.8 percent of his passes for 5.8 yards per attempt and a 2:1 TD:INT between those two victories. While his numbers since reclaiming the starting role aren't overly impressive, Young has still taken a step forward from his lowly production during his 2023 rookie campaign and the first two games of 2024. He'll remain a low-end fantasy option while he continues to start for Carolina, with his utility largely limited to leagues that start two quarterbacks or have a QB flex spot.

Start Justin Herbert vs Ravens Herbert has emerged as a fantasy weapon after a slow start to the new regime in LA. He has proven he is a QB1 in fantasy circles again. He is coming off one of his best performances, completing 17 of 36 pass attempts for 297 yards and two touchdowns in the 34-27 win over the Bengals on Sunday. He also led the team in rushing with 65 yards on five carries. This was easily Herbert's worst game of the season in terms of completion percentage, but the Pro Bowl quarterback continued to hit big play after big play against a soft Bengals defense all night. The 26-year-old also tallied the fourth-most rushing yards of his career thanks in large part to a 30-yard run in the second quarter that eventually helped put the Chargers up two scores following a J.K. Dobbins touchdown. It seems as if Herbert may have found his go-to target in this one too, as Ladd McConkey (6-123) recorded receptions of 28 yards and 27 yards, each beautifully delivered by the gun-slinging quarterback, on what amounted to the game-winning touchdown drive late in the fourth quarter. Herbert could be poised for another excellent fantasy outing this week against the Ravens. The Ravens rank #31 in our Pass Defense Power Rankings.

Start Caleb Williams vs Vikings The Bears lost the battle against the Packers on Sunday -- but the good news is that the offense (and Williams in particular) exhibited a level of competence. The rookie QB completed 23 of 31 passes for 231 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions and added nine rushes for 70 yards in the Bears' 20-19 loss to the Packers. The first overall pick appeared more in rhythm in his first game under interim offensive coordinator Thomas Brown, but the end result was another loss for the reeling Bears. Williams did put his team in position to pull off a win by leading a seven-play, 42-yard drive that started with him taking back-to-back sacks before recording completions of 16 and 21 yards to Rome Odunze and a 12-yard strike to Keenan Allen. However, the march ended with a blocked field goal as time expired. Williams had a compact target pool of six players on the afternoon, and he finished with his highest yardage total since Week 5. Williams' next chance to build on the positives from his performance comes in a Week 12 home divisional clash against the Vikings. The Vikings rank #28 in our Pass Defense Power Rankings.

Jayden Daniels vs Cowboys
- Daniels completed 22 of 32 passes for 191 yards with one touchdown and one interception while adding seven rushes for 18 yards in the Commanders' 26-18 loss to the Eagles on Thursday night. He also threw a two-point conversion pass. Daniels salvaged his fantasy night to an extent with a five-yard touchdown pass to Zach Ertz with 28 seconds remaining and a subsequent two-point conversion pass to the veteran tight end in the back of the end zone that was originally ruled out of bounds. Prior to that, the talented rookie had scuffled through a fairly unremarkable game that also saw him evaluated for a concussion shortly before halftime and the Eagles do an effective job of limiting his rushing yards and keeping passes in front of them. The LSU product ultimately recorded at least one completion to nine different players, but only one, Austin Ekeler, tallied more than 47 receiving yards. Daniels has now seen his passing yardage drop in three consecutive games following his career-best 326-yard showing against the Bears in Week 8, although Michael Phillips of The Richmonder also reports the second overall pick had a cut on his hand that had to be glued shut at one point in the second half. Daniels now will have extra time to regroup and recover before a Week 12 home matchup against the Cowboys on Sunday, Nov. 24.

JARED GOFF vs Colts
-  Analyzing various factors very carefully, we expect him to post nice fantasy stats this week.Goff completed 24 of 29 passes for 412 yards with four touchdowns and no interceptions and added four rushes for 21 yards in the Lions' 52-6 win over the Jaguars on Sunday. Goff finished the 46-point drubbing with a perfect passer rating of 158.3, his latest milestone in what is turning into a memorable season. The veteran signal-caller connected with Amon-Ra St. Brown (27, nine yards), Jameson Williams (64 yards) and Brock Wright (five yards) for his quartet of touchdown passes, his seventh-multi TD performance in the last eight games. Both Goff's passing yardage and touchdown-pass totals were season highs as well, and he'll be set up well for another prolific afternoon when Detroit faces the vulnerable Colts defense on the road in Week 12.

Jalen Hurts vs Rams
- Hurts completed 18 of 28 passes for 221 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions and rushed 10 times for 39 yards and a touchdown in the Eagles' 26-18 win over the Commanders on Thursday night. Hurts often found the going tough against an improving Commanders defense, and he went without a touchdown pass for the first time since Week 3. However, the star signal-caller was able to lean on Saquon Barkley and his defense as the second half unfolded while also contributing a go-ahead one-yard touchdown run early in the fourth quarter. All but two of Hurts' completions went to the familiar quartet of A.J. Brown, DeVonta Smith, Barkley and Dallas Goedert, and he steered clear of interceptions for the sixth time in the last seven contests. Hurts now will have extra time to ready himself for a favorable Week 12 Sunday night road matchup against the Rams on Nov. 24.

Lamar Jackson vs Chargers
- Jackson completed 16 of 33 passes for 207 yards and a touchdown with an interception in Sunday's 18-16 loss to the Steelers. He added 46 rushing yards on four carries. The Ravens arguably played well enough to win, but Justin Tucker missed two early field goals and Jackson wasn't able to hit on a two-point conversion attempt after leading a TD drive inside the final four minutes of the fourth quarter. It was the first time since Week 6 that Jackson had failed to produce multiple touchdowns, but a rebound effort in Week 12 isn't guaranteed, as he'll be taking on a stingy Chargers defense in the Harbaugh Bowl.

Patrick Mahomes vs Panthers
- Mahomes completed 23 of 33 pass attempts for 196 yards, three touchdowns and two interceptions without recording a carry in Sunday's 30-21 loss to Buffalo. Mahomes threw a pair of interceptions that proved to be costly in Sunday's marquee matchup between superstar quarterbacks. While Josh Allen got the win for his club, Mahomes provided fantasy managers with his second game with three touchdown passes over the Chiefs' last three contests. In addition to this game representing Kansas City's first loss of the season, it was also Mahomes' first appearance in 2024 without recording a rushing attempt. No longer undefeated, Mahomes and the Chiefs should be locked in for a soft matchup against Carolina next Sunday.

Baker Mayfield vs Giants
- Prior to the Buccaneers' Week 11 bye, he played three straight without Chris Godwin (IR-ankle) and Mike Evans (hamstring), but Mayfield still racked up nice numbers in two games and will return to action as the QB5. If you throw out his dud Week 10 outing against the San Francisco 49ers (116-1-0 passing and 3-3-0 rushing), Mayfield has averaged 292 passing yards and 2.8 touchdown strikes per contest since Week 4. The New York Giants defense has surrendered just 184.2 passing yards and 1.2 scoring strikes per game only because opposing offenses have opted to attack their 29th-ranked run defense. New York's secondary isn't scary, and Mayfield will do plenty of throwing with a now-healthy Evans back in the starting lineup.

Kyler Murray vs Seahawks
- With over 2,000 combined yards of offense and 16 total touchdowns through 10 games, both fantasy managers and the Cardinals should feel good about the QB they have in camp this season. Murray will now enter his bye week and resume action in a road matchup against the Seahawks.

Sit Nick Chubb vs Steelers Chubb carried the ball 11 times for 50 yards in Sunday's 35-14 loss to the Saints. The game didn't get away from the Browns until the fourth quarter, but Chubb still failed to get a big workload, even coming off a bye and facing what has been a vulnerable New Orleans run defense this season. Cleveland may simply no longer view Chubb as a viable bell cow after last year's serious knee injury, so while he should remain at the top of the depth chart ahead of the likes of Jerome Ford, his days of seeing 20-plus touches on a consistent basis may be over. Chubb isn't likely to break out in Week 12 against the Steelers, a team he's only scored two rushing touchdowns against in 10 career meetings. The Steelers rank #2 in our Run Defense Power Rankings. There's not much to grasp onto and the floor is now well established after netting just 169 total yards (one score) through four games.

Sit Chuba Hubbard vs Chiefs The last time we saw Hubbard in action, he racked up season highs of 28 carries for 153 yards and one touchdown against the New York Giants in Munich, Germany, two weeks ago. The touchdown was Hubbard's third in his last two games. As the RB11, Hubbard is averaging 19.1 touches and 94.2 combo yards per contest with seven touchdowns scored. Rookie Jonathon Brooks is tentatively expected to make his long-awaited NFL debut this Sunday, but Hubbard will continue operating in a workhorse role for the short term. Fantasy managers, however, should dial down their expectations for Hubbard when he takes on a Kansas City Chiefs defense that has allowed the fewest running back fantasy points.

Sit D'Andre Swift vs Vikings Swift rushed 14 times for 71 yards and a touchdown and brought in both targets for 13 yards in the Bears' 20-19 loss to the Packers on Sunday. Swift recorded his fifth rushing touchdown of the season on a game-long 39-yard run late in the third quarter, which also helped him to his highest rushing yardage total in the last three games. The veteran back and first-year Bear does continue ceding red-zone work to Roschon Johnson, which naturally isn't ideal for fantasy purposes. Consider him a so-so bet-on-value play against a Minnesota Vikings defense that has surrendered the second-fewest rushing yards to opposing tailbacks, five total running back touchdowns and the second-fewest running back fantasy points. The Vikings rank #3 in our Run Defense Power Rankings.

J.K. Dobbins vs Ravens
-  The Ravens rank #1 in our Run Defense Power Rankings. Dobbins registered 11 carries for 56 yards and two touchdowns, including the game winner, in Sunday's 34-27 victory over the Bengals. He also caught his lone target for three yards. Dobbins was bottled up until the team's final play, when the talented running back bounced an inside zone run far left for a 29-yard touchdown with the Bengals likely expecting the Chargers to sit on the ball for a cheap game-winning field goal as time expired. While the 25-year-old did score another touchdown earlier in the day to effectively secure a solid fantasy day, it's worth noting that score came only after Hassan Haskins was given two carries at the one yard line, failing to punch it in either time. Haskins also vultured a touchdown against his former team, the Titans, last week, and Gus Edwards once again saw a decent amount of snaps (six carries, 27 yards), so there appears to be a situational platoon backfield at play despite Haskins' ineffectiveness in particular.

Alexander Mattison vs Broncos
-  The Broncos rank #5 in our Run Defense Power Rankings. He is currently listed as Questionable on the injury report, and may wind up being a dreaded GTD (Game Time Decision).Mattison left Sunday's game against the Dolphins with an ankle injury. Meanwhile, fellow RB Zamir White (quad) was also forced out of the contest, leaving Ameer Abdullah to handle the team's backfield duties. Before his injury, Mattison carried five times for 19 yards and caught all three of his targets for 50 yards.

Tony Pollard vs Texans
- Pollard (foot) rushed nine times for 15 yards and caught two of four targets for 14 yards in Sunday's 23-13 loss to Minnesota. The Titans' rushing attack was abysmal against the Vikings' front, generating just 33 yards on 19 attempts as a team. Pollard was battling a foot injury during the practice week before gaining clearance for Sunday, but Tennessee's offensive line wouldn't have even been able to create enough push for Derrick Henry had he stayed with the club this past offseason. Pollard should produce better results against Houston next Sunday.

Kyren Williams vs Eagles
-  The Eagles rank #4 in our Run Defense Power Rankings. He should be a NO BRAIN start this week and every week unless he is on a bye or injured. Williams rushed 15 times for 86 yards during Sunday's 28-22 victory against the Patriots. For the third straight game, Williams was held out of the end zone, and he failed to record a catch for the second time this season. Despite the lack of scoring, Williams actually logged his highest YPC of the 2024 campaign (5.7) and backup Blake Corum continued to have a limited role on offense. The Eagles and their imposing defense are up next for the Rams in Week 12.

Start De'Von Achane vs Patriots Achane rushed 17 times for 73 yards and a touchdown and brought in all four targets for 32 yards in the Dolphins' 34-19 win over the Raiders on Sunday. Achane once again served as the clear lead back and also held down a solid pass-catching role, netting another productive afternoon for the explosive second-year back. Achane's two-yard rushing touchdown early in the fourth quarter was his third score on the ground this season and sixth overall, and he now has a robust 24 receptions in his last four games alone. Achane will next do battle with a vulnerable Patriots run defense in a Week 12 home matchup. Achane should eat plenty against an awful Patriots' defense. Achane has perhaps one of the highest ceilings of any option this week against New England.

Conner remains an every down back, capable of carrying the workload. Arizona could turn their attention to the ground game to wear down the Seahawks' front seven, making Conner a low-end RB1 for Week 12. The Seahawks rank #30 in our Run Defense Power Rankings.

Rico Dowdle vs Commanders
-  The Commanders rank #29 in our Run Defense Power Rankings. Dowdle rushed 10 times for 28 yards while catching two of five targets for six yards in Monday's 34-10 win over Houston. Dowdle got his head coach's vote of confidence prior to Monday's kickoff, and Mike McCarthy's words rang true after the tailback led Dallas in carries. That's where the good news ended, as the 26-year-old struggled to generate any room to operate in a blowout loss. Unlike star teammate CeeDee Lamb, Dowdle's value may have taken a significant hit by Dak Prescott's (hamstring) season-ending injury. With little threat of a passing attack, opposing defenses can stack the box against Dowdle and Co. like the Texans successfully accomplished Monday. Dowdle should still carry deep-league value, but those in standard formats may have to make difficult decisions as the fantasy playoffs inch closer.

Jahmyr Gibbs vs Colts
-  Analyzing various factors very carefully, we expect him to post nice fantasy stats this week.Gibbs rushed 11 times for 69 yards and a touchdown and brought in his only target for a 54-yard catch in the Lions' 52-6 win over the Jaguars on Sunday. Gibbs logged four fewer carries than backfield mate David Montgomery but gained just six less yards, and he finished third on the Lions in receiving yards thanks to a career-long 54-yard reception. Gibbs also recorded his fifth rushing touchdown in the last five games on a one-yard run early in the second quarter, making it yet another rewarding fantasy afternoon for the explosive second-year back. Gibbs next takes aim at a vulnerable Colts defense in a Week 12 road matchup next Sunday.

DERRICK HENRY vs Chargers
- Henry carried the ball 13 times for 65 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 18-16 loss to the Steelers. It was Henry's lowest output since Week 1 from a yardage perspective, but he salvaged his day with a one-yard TD plunge in the second quarter. It was his 13th score of the season on the ground and 15th in total, the third time in his career he's reached that mark but the first since 2020. Henry has gotten into the end zone in 12 straight games dating back to his final game as a Titan last season, a streak he'll look to extend in Week 12 against the Chargers.

Christian McCaffrey vs Packers
-  He should be a NO BRAIN start this week and every week unless he is on a bye or injured. McCaffrey rushed 19 times for 79 yards and brought in four of five targets for 27 yards in Sunday's 20-17 loss to Seattle. McCaffrey looked healthy out there for the second consecutive game after missing the first half of the season with tendinitis in both of his Achilles tendons. The dual-threat back combined to go for over 100 total yards in consecutive appearances while handling nearly all of San Francisco's backfield work. McCaffrey should continue to be a focal point of the 49ers' attack in a tough matchup on the road against the Packers next Sunday.

Joe Mixon vs Titans
- Mixon rushed 20 times for 109 yards and three touchdowns and secured two of four targets for 44 yards in the Texans' 34-10 win over the Cowboys on Monday night. A week after being bottled up by a talented Lions defense, Mixon was right back to dominating the opposition with a stellar effort on the ground. Mixon struck early, rattling off a 45-yard touchdown run to cap off the opening drive of the game and subsequently recording a one-yard scoring rush late in the first quarter. The prolific back would replicate the latter feat with 3:16 remaining to close out the scoring on the night, recording a new single-game-high TD total in the process. Mixon also curiously posted his second straight two-catch, 44-yard showing, affording him plenty of momentum ahead of a Week 12 home date with the division rival Titans.

David Montgomery vs Colts
- Montgomery rushed 15 times for 75 yards and two touchdowns and brought in all three targets for 20 yards in the Lions' 52-6 win over the Jaguars on Sunday. Montgomery once again found himself in the end zone in the Lions' lopsided win, making multiple trips via his two- and six-yard runs in the first half. The veteran back was also more involved than usual as a receiver, with his three receptions tying for his second-highest figure of the season in that category. Montgomery's ultra-reliable red-zone role will keep him as a highly viable fantasy asset in all formats heading into a Week 12 road matchup against the Colts.

Brian Robinson Jr. vs Cowboys
-  The Cowboys rank #31 in our Run Defense Power Rankings. Robinson rushed 16 times for 63 yards and a touchdown and brought in his only target for nine yards in the Commanders' 26-18 loss to the Eagles on Thursday night. Robinson opened the scoring on a one-yard touchdown run late in the first quarter, his seventh rushing TD of the season. Six of those trips to the end zone have come in the last six contests, and Robinson has managed at least Thursday's rushing yardage total in four of the last five games. Robinson does continue to be the clear lead back when healthy -- Austin Ekeler and Jeremy McNichols combined for only five rush attempts against Philadelphia -- and that pattern should continue in a highly favorable Week 12 home matchup against the Cowboys on Sunday, Nov. 24.

Rhamondre Stevenson vs Dolphins
- Stevenson rushed 20 times for 73 yards and caught all four of his targets for 16 yards in Sunday's 28-22 loss to the Rams. Stevenson surpassed 70 rushing yards for the second consecutive game and the fifth time in 10 appearances this season. He isn't much of a contributor in the passing game, but Stevenson usually gets hefty workloads on the ground as long as the 3-8 Patriots aren't getting blown out, as this was the fifth time he recorded at least 20 rushing attempts in a game this season. Stevenson should remain heavily involved in Week 12 against a Dolphins defense that's been more vulnerable on the ground than through the air.

Rachaad White vs Giants
-  The Giants rank #28 in our Run Defense Power Rankings. Analyzing various factors very carefully, we expect him to post nice fantasy stats this week.White rushed 10 times for 31 yards and brought in six of seven targets for 39 yards and a touchdown in the Buccaneers' 23-20 loss to the 49ers on Sunday. White logged three fewer carries and 42 fewer yards than backfield mate Bucky Irving, but he set the pace in receptions and receiving yards while checking in second in targets. White also recorded his career-high fourth receiving touchdown of the season with a nine-yard scoring grab early in the third quarter, and he'll face a Giants defense that just allowed 153 rushing yards to the Panthers' Chuba Hubbard in Week 12 following Tampa Bay's Week 11 bye.

Sit Jordan Addison vs Bears He is currently listed as Questionable on the injury report, and may wind up being a dreaded GTD (Game Time Decision).Addison was unable to return to Sunday's 23-13 win over the Titans after he experienced cramping in one of his legs during the fourth quarter of the contest, Ben Goessling of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports. Due in part to the cramping issue, Addison played only 44 of the Vikings' 73 offensive snaps, with his 60 percent share marking his second-lowest rate of the season. The wideout still came through with three catches for 61 yards and a touchdown on eight targets before exiting the game. Addison should be ready to go for next Sunday's contest in Chicago, where he'll likely see his snap share rise back to its typical 80-to-95 percent range. That said, this week he faces a Bears defense which has allowed the fewest fantasy points to WRs.

Sit Nico Collins vs Titans The Titans rank #2 in our Pass Defense Power Rankings and #4 against fantasy WRs. Collins (hamstring) brought in four of seven targets for 54 yards in the Texans' 34-10 win over the Cowboys on Monday night. Collins and Tank Dell posted matching team-high receiving yardage totals while also tying for the lead in targets with Dalton Schultz. It was a solid return to action for Collins following a five-game absence due to a hamstring injury, and his numbers were serviceable within the context of a night where C.J. Stroud wasn't pressed to do an inordinate amount through the air. A similar scenario could actually be in store Week 12, however, as the reeling Titans pay a visit to Collins and the Texans.

Sit Jakobi Meyers vs Broncos Meyers secured four of six targets for 28 yards and rushed once for 20 yards in the Raiders' 34-19 loss to the Dolphins on Sunday. It was an atypical stat line all the way around for Meyers, who recorded the longest rush of his career but also posted his lowest receiving yardage tally of the campaign. The veteran pass catcher did record at least four catches for the seventh straight game, but he's eclipsed the century mark only once, in Week 9 against the Bengals, over the course of the season. Meyers usually gets more mileage out of his pass-catching opportunities than he did Sunday, but he'll face a daunting task against the Broncos and their top cover corner, Surtain, at home in Week 12.

KEENAN ALLEN vs Vikings
-  The Vikings rank #28 in our Pass Defense Power Rankings. Allen secured four of eight targets for 41 yards in the Bears' 20-19 loss to the Packers on Sunday. Allen finished third in receptions and second in targets in the Bears' first game under interim offensive coordinator Thomas Brown, and the veteran recorded a clutch 12-yard grab on Chicago's final drive. Allen has at least four receptions in three straight games, but his short-area role -- he hasn't eclipsed 44 receiving yards in any game -- is likely to continue capping his fantasy appeal despite the change at coordinator.

Kendrick Bourne vs Dolphins
- Bourne caught all five of his targets for 70 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 28-22 loss to the Rams. However, the Dolphins rank #4 in our Pass Defense Power Rankings and #5 against fantasy WRs. Bourne had been quiet since returning from a knee injury that cost him the first four weeks of the season, but he bounced back nicely after going without a catch in two of his previous three games. He set a season high in receiving yards and scored his first touchdown of the season on a 10-yard reception in the first quarter. Given the lack of production from New England's wideouts this season, Bourne could have a tough time building on this breakout effort in Week 12 against a tough Dolphins secondary.

Jalen Coker vs ?
-  Analyzing various factors very carefully, we do not expect him to post quality fantasy stats this week.Coker brought in three of eight targets for 41 yards in the Panthers' 20-17 overtime win over the Giants in Munich on Sunday. Coker's yardage total, modest as it was, led the Panthers on the day, as did his career-high target tally. The undrafted rookie has displayed good chemistry with Bryce Young and is now boasting a 9-155-1 line on 17 targets in the latter's three-game starting stint. With Diontae Johnson now in Baltimore, Coker should continue to enjoy a prominent role during a Week 12 home matchup against the Chiefs on Sunday, Nov. 24 following a Week 11 bye, although Adam Thielen (IR, hamstring) is expected back for that game.

COOPER KUPP vs Eagles
-  The Eagles rank #1 in our Pass Defense Power Rankings. Kupp secured six of 10 targets for 106 yards and two touchdowns during Sunday's 28-22 victory against the Patriots. It was vintage Kupp in the third quarter, breaking free at midfield and running uncontested the rest of the way for a 69-yard touchdown, his second of the game after a six-yard touchdown grab in the second quarter. Kupp wasn't the only one to scorch the Patriots, as Puka Nacua tacked on seven catches for 123 yards and a touchdown of his own. Kupp's resurgence may hit a roadblock in Week 12, as a top-tier Eagles pass defense lies in wait for the Rams in Week 12.

Courtland Sutton vs Raiders
- Sutton caught seven of eight targets for 78 yards in Sunday's 38-6 win over the Falcons. Sutton led the team in targets, catches and receiving yards but wasn't on the receiving end of any of Bo Nix's four touchdown passes. Since being held without a catch by the Saints in Week 7, Sutton has bounced back by posting at least six catches and 70 yards in each of his last four games. With Nix surging under center, Denver's top wide receiver has turned into a reliable fantasy option ahead of a Week 12 road game against the Raiders.

Jalen Tolbert vs Commanders
-  The Commanders rank #5 in our Pass Defense Power Rankings. Tolbert finished with two receptions (on five targets) for 21 yards in Monday's 34-10 loss to the Texans. Tolbert's recent struggles with backup quarterback Cooper Rush under center continued for the second week in a row. The Cowboys' No. 2 option behind CeeDee Lamb (8-93-0) finished with totals even deep-league managers would cringe at over a two-week period. If someone walks through the doors of AT&T Stadium who can resuscitate Dallas' offense sans Dak Prescott (hamstring), then we could recommend Tolbert as a strong play Week 12. Until then, the talented receiver's floor will remain low. For what it is worth, when he last played the Commanders, he racked up 8 receiving caught 1 TD passes.

Start Josh Downs vs Lions Downs caught all five of his targets for 84 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 28-27 win over the Jets. Downs continued to work as the top option in Indianapolis' passing game as the Colts went back to Anthony Richardson under center. The second-year wideout led the Colts in receiving yards and scored the team's only touchdown through the air while Richardson provided another two with his legs. Downs has reached 60 receiving yards in six of his last seven games and has a nice opportunity to keep rolling in Week 12 against a Lions defense that has given up plenty of yardage to wide receivers.

Player Expected Output Receptions Rec. Yards TDs 6 86 1

Start Marvin Harrison Jr. vs Seahawks Harrison brought in all five of his targets for 54 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 31-6 win over the Jets. Harrison rebounded from a down game in Week 9 by collecting all of his targets while cashing in his sixth touchdown of the season against the Jets. The rookie phenom has produced a 33-499-6 receiving line through 10 games as the Cardinals enter a bye week. Harrison has endured some ups and downs from a fantasy perspective, but he can still be relied upon and has a plus matchup against the Seahawks on Nov. 24.

Player Expected Output Receptions Rec. Yards TDs 6 89 1

Start Jauan Jennings vs Packers Jennings corralled 10 of 11 targets for 91 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 20-17 loss to Seattle. Jennings continues to thrive as a starter since being elevated to second on the depth chart coming out of the 49ers' Week 9 bye. The physical wideout is averaging 8.5 receptions, 92.0 yards and 11.0 targets in two games sans Brandon Aiyuk (knee). With defenses keying in on Deebo Samuel since his running mate was lost for the year, Jennings has elevated his play to mimic that of the superstar he is filling in for. The window to snag Jennings has likely closed in competitive formats, but managers should continue to ride the hot hand as the 49ers hit the road to face the Packers next Sunday.

Start Quentin Johnston vs Ravens The Ravens rank #31 in our Pass Defense Power Rankings. Johnston caught two of his eight targets for 48 yards and a touchdown in the 34-27 win over the Bengals on Sunday. Johnston's eight targets were a season high, but the dismal completion rate mars the stat somewhat. The second-year wide tallied a touchdown in his third straight game in what amounted to yet another relatively easy pitch-and-catch touchdown, a theme of Johnston's scores for most of the season. It's possible the streak will continue against another soft defense against the pass in the Ravens come Week 12.

Rewards...

A.J. Brown vs Rams
- Brown brought in five of eight targets for 65 yards in the Eagles' 26-18 win over the Commanders on Thursday night. Brown tied Dallas Goedert for the team lead in receptions while setting the pace in receiving yards and targets. The star wideout was largely held in check by an improved Commanders defense, but he did hit the five-catch mark for the sixth time in seven games this season. Brown now has gone four games without a touchdown catch, however, a matter he'll look to rectify at the expense of the Rams in a Week 12 road matchup on Sunday night, Nov. 24.

MIKE EVANS vs Giants
-  He is currently listed as Questionable on the injury report, and may wind up being a dreaded GTD (Game Time Decision).Evans (hamstring) was spotted on the field Monday during the portion of the Buccaneers' practice that was open to the media, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports. Coming out of their Week 11 bye, the Buccaneers held a bonus practice Monday, but the team won't issue its first official Week 12 practice report until Wednesday. Evans missed the Buccaneers' last three games due to a right hamstring strain, but the club's decision not to place him on injured reserve implied that he was expected to return to action this coming Sunday against the Giants. Evans' ability to practice in any capacity Monday is a good sign that he's on track for a Week 12 return. If he does return, we expect him to find the end zone.

Zay Flowers vs Chargers
-  Analyzing various factors very carefully, we expect him to post nice fantasy stats this week.Flowers caught two of six targets for 39 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 18-16 loss to the Steelers. The second-year wideout was headed for an awful performance until he hooked up with Lamar Jackson for a 16-yard score with just over one minute left in the fourth quarter. The Ravens were unable to add a two-point conversion however, as their comeback effort fell short. Flowers is still prone to occasional quiet games, but over the last seven games he's posted an impressive 35-569-3 line on 52 targets. He'll look to make an impact again in Week 12 against the Chargers.

TYREEK HILL vs Patriots
-  He should be a NO BRAIN start this week and every week unless he is on a bye or injured. Hill secured seven of eight targets for 61 yards and a touchdown in the Dolphins' 34-19 win over the Raiders on Sunday. Hill set the pace for the Dolphins in receptions and tied with Jonnu Smith for the team lead in targets, scoring a touchdown on an eight-yard grab with just over four minutes remaining in the third quarter as well. Hill has eclipsed 60 receiving yards in three of Tua Tagovailoa's first four games back from an IR stint due to a concussion, but the veteran speedster is still in search of his first 100-yard game since Week 1 as the Dolphins prepare to face off with the Patriots at home in Week 12.

Jerry Jeudy vs Steelers
- Jeudy caught six of 11 targets for 142 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 35-14 loss to the Saints. The former Bronco was Jameis Winston's top downfield option, and most of Jeudy's production came on an 89-yard score in the first quarter. It's only the wideout's second TD of the year and his first since Cleveland's season opener, but if Winston -- who threw for 395 yards Sunday -- is regaining the form that saw him lead the league in passing yards in 2019, Jeudy figures to be in line for a big finish to the campaign. The Browns' aerial attack will face a tougher test in Week 12 against the Steelers.

Ladd McConkey vs Ravens
-  The Ravens rank #31 in our Pass Defense Power Rankings. McConkey caught six of his nine targets for 123 yards in the 34-27 win over the Bengals on Sunday. McConkey was briefly in the locker room due to an apparent shoulder injury in the first half, but the rookie returned relatively shortly thereafter. Justin Herbert found the Georgia product twice on the final drive of the game, as McConkey tallied receptions of 28 and 27 yards to help put the team in field-goal range before J.K. Dobbins punctuated the win with a long touchdown run. This is now the eighth time this season McConkey has led all Chargers receivers in targets as he continues to emerge as Herbert's go-to target. Expect the 23-year-old to be poised with more opportunities next week against a susceptible Ravens pass defense.

Malik Nabers vs Buccaneers
-  The Buccaneers rank #30 in our Pass Defense Power Rankings. Nabers recorded six receptions on 10 targets for 50 yards in Sunday's 20-17 overtime loss to the Panthers. He added one rush for minus-2 yards. Daniel Jones had only 54 passing yards at halftime, which predictably affected all of the Giants' pass catchers. Nabers managed to salvage his day in the second half while being primarily used in the short areas of the field, though he did pop a long catch of 19 yards early in the fourth quarter. He was also forced to miss a significant amount of the final quarter while undergoing a concussion evaluation, though he did return to the field. Nabers has now topped 60 yards only once in his last four games, though he has double-digit targets in each of his last three contests and will remain the focal point of New York's offense.

George Pickens vs Browns
- Pickens caught eight of 12 targets for 89 yards in Sunday's 18-16 win over the Ravens. The third-year wideout led Pittsburgh in catches, targets and receiving yards, and the volume was his highest in four games since Russell Wilson took over as the team's starting QB. Pickens has posted a 22-365-2 line on 33 targets over that stretch, putting him on track for a huge finish to the campaign. Pickens will look to keep rolling in Week 12 against the Browns.

Calvin Ridley vs Texans
- Ridley brought in four of six targets for 58 yards in Sunday's 23-13 loss to the Vikings. Ridley was unable to replicate his big scoring day from a week prior, but he still churned out serviceable production Sunday. The 29-year-old's fantasy value has taken a hit overall since he joined the Titans, as he has a 36-541-3 receiving line through 10 games and has eclipsed 85 receiving yards just once all season. Ridley still offers enough juice for those in deeper formats, or even as a Week 12 bye replacement in standard leagues against the Texans next Sunday.

Amon-Ra St. Brown vs Colts
-  Analyzing various factors very carefully, we expect him to post nice fantasy stats this week. He should be a NO BRAIN start this week and every week unless he is on a bye or injured. St. Brown secured all 11 targets for 161 yards and two touchdowns and rushed once for minus-4 yards in the Lions' 52-6 win over the Jaguars on Sunday. St. Brown led the Lions in receptions, receiving yards and targets on the afternoon, and the first two totals tied and set a season high, respectively. The elite wideout also extended a touchdown-reception streak to eight games with scoring grabs of 27 and nine yards, his first multi-TD-effort of the campaign. St. Brown will look to build on his third 100-yard tally of 2024 when he faces a vulnerable Colts defense on the road in Week 12.

Sit Cole Kmet vs Vikings The Vikings rank 9th against fantasy TEs. Kmet had another quiet game in Week 11 against Green Bay with three catches for 42 yards on three targets, but he did play a season-high 97 percent of the snaps in the first game under new offensive coordinator Thomas Brown. If that continues then more production should followbut maybe not in Week 12 against Minnesota.

Sit Tucker Kraft vs 49ers Kraft didn't haul in his only target during Sunday's 20-19 win in Chicago. The Packers logged 25 fewer offensive plays than the Bears and held possession for nearly 13 minutes less than the opposition, resulting in a season-low 17 pass attempts for QB Jordan Love in any of his eight appearances. As a result, no Green Bay pass catcher was targeted more than five times, and only Josh Jacobs (five) and Christian Watson (four) received more than three. As for Kraft, he was held without a catch for the first time in 10 games on the campaign. His next chance to get back in the box score is next Sunday against the 49ers. That said, San Fran ranks 6th against fantasy TEs.

Jake Ferguson vs Commanders
-  The Commanders rank #5 in our Pass Defense Power Rankings. He is currently listed as Questionable on the injury report, and may wind up being a dreaded GTD (Game Time Decision).Ferguson has been ruled out for the remainder of Monday's game against Houston due to a concussion, Clarence E. Hill Jr. of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports. Ferguson was hurt in the first quarter and subsequently entered concussion protocol. The Cowboys have since ruled their No. 1 tight end out for the remainder of the contest. Ferguson finishes Week 11 with one catch (on one target) for 11 yards. Luke Schoonmaker likely will take on the majority of Dallas' tight-end snaps in Ferguson's stead.

Pat Freiermuth vs Browns
- Freiermuth secured both of his targets for 14 yards during Sunday's 18-16 win over the Ravens. Freiermuth's fantasy value in 2024 has depended largely on whether he reaches the end zone, and he had one of his worst performances of the year during Sunday's narrow win. The 26-year-old hasn't had more than three targets in any of his last six appearances, but he'll attempt to bounce back against the Browns on Thursday.

David Njoku vs Steelers
-  He is currently listed as Questionable on the injury report, and may wind up being a dreaded GTD (Game Time Decision).The Browns listed Njoku as a limited participant on Monday's estimated practice report due to a knee injury, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports. Cleveland didn't hold a practice session one day after Sunday's 35-14 loss to New Orleans, but Njoku would have had his reps capped had the Browns taken the field. The Browns aren't likely to hold anything more than walk-through sessions or light practices Tuesday and Wednesday, but assuming Njoku is listed as either a limited or full participant on those days, he should be ready to play in Thursday's game against the Steelers. In the three games since Jameis Winston has taken over for Deshaun Watson (Achilles) as the Browns' starting quarterback, Njoku has strung together a 19-171-1 line on 23 targets.

Chig Okonkwo vs Texans
- Okonkwo recorded two receptions (on four targets) for 19 yards in Sunday's 23-13 loss to the Vikings. Okonkwo commanded at least four targets for the fourth time in his last five games. He made a limited impact in Sunday's loss, particularly because both of his receptions came on Tennessee's opening drive. Okonkwo now has recorded fewer than 20 receiving yards in eight of 10 games on the campaign. Making matters worse, he has a really tough matchup against the Texans defense that ranks 3rd against fantasy TEs.

Cade Otton vs Giants
- Otton has a tough matchup against a Giants defense which has allowed the fewest fantasy points to TEs so far this year.

Colby Parkinson vs Eagles
-  The Eagles rank #1 in our Pass Defense Power Rankings and #4 against fantasy TEs.

Dalton Schultz vs Titans
-  The Titans rank #2 in our Pass Defense Power Rankings. Schultz secured five of seven targets for 33 yards in the Texans' 34-10 win over the Cowboys on Monday night. Facing his old team for the first time, Schultz recorded a team-high catch total that also served as a season-best figure. Schultz had 52- and 66-yard outings over the prior three games coming into Monday night, but with Nico Collins back on the field following a five-game absence due to a hamstring injury, the veteran tight end was used close to the line of scrimmage. Schultz's fantasy upside should remain modest in a Week 12 home divisional matchup against the Titans.

Tommy Tremble vs Chiefs
-  He is currently listed as Questionable on the injury report, and may wind up being a dreaded GTD (Game Time Decision). Analyzing various factors very carefully, we do not expect him to post quality fantasy stats this week.Tremble (back) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Giants in Munich, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports. Tremble will be sidelined for the fifth time in 10 games on the season, with the back issue causing the last three absences. With Tremble sidelined in Germany, rookie Ja'Tavion Sanders should start at tight end and dominate the playing time after he logged 84 percent of the snaps in a Week 9 win over the Saints and finished with four catches for 87 yards on five targets.

Start ZACH ERTZ vs Cowboys Ertz secured six of seven targets for 47 yards and a touchdown and added a two-point conversion catch in the Commanders' 26-18 loss to the Eagles on Thursday night. Ertz finished second across the board in receptions, receiving yards and targets to Austin Ekeler for the Commanders on the night. He was also on the receiving end of Jayden Daniels' only touchdown pass, a five-yard scoring grab with 28 seconds remaining that capped off a 15-play, 70-yard march. Ertz followed it up with an impressively difficult two-point conversion catch where he just managed to get two feet inbounds as he fell out of the back of the end zone, and he's now recorded at least four catches in five of his last six games. The steady veteran tight end figures to remain a key target for Daniels during a Week 12 home matchup against the Cowboys on Sunday, Nov. 24.

Player Expected Output Receptions Rec. Yards TDs 6 61 1

Start Hunter Henry vs Dolphins The veteran tight end has been the most reliable target for rookie Patriots quarterback Drake Maye, due in large part to New England's lack of talent at wide receiver. Henry has averaged 6.8 targets in the first six starts of Maye's career heading into a Week 12 trip to Miami.

Brock Bowers vs Broncos
-  Analyzing various factors very carefully, we expect him to post nice fantasy stats this week. Bowers secured 13 of 16 targets for 126 yards and a touchdown in the Raiders' 34-19 loss to the Dolphins on Sunday. He also rushed once for minus-3 yards. Bowers set the pace across the board for the Raiders in all three components of his receiving line, with the trio of figures also serving as new career highs. Bowers now has double-digit target tallies and at least eight catches in four of his last six games, as he continues to serve as the clear-cut leader of the air attack following the trade of Davante Adams to the Jets. The star rookie should be set up for another busy afternoon in a Week 12 home AFC West clash against the Broncos next Sunday.

Dallas Goedert vs Rams
- Goedert secured all five targets for 61 yards in the Eagles' 26-18 win over the Commanders on Thursday night. He also committed a fumble recovered by Philadelphia. Goedert tied A.J. Brown for the team lead in receptions and checked in second to his teammate in receiving yards. The veteran tight end also was able to recover the Commanders' last-gasp onside kick, sealing the victory for Philadelphia. Goedert had managed an ankle injury during the week, but by posting his third-highest reception and receiving yardage totals of the season, it's evident he's past the issue. Goedert will now have some extra recovery time ahead of a Week 12 road matchup against the Rams on Sunday night, Nov. 24.

TRAVIS KELCE vs Panthers
- Kelce was held to two receptions (on four targets) for eight yards in Sunday's 30-21 loss to the Bills as Noah Gray took over the spotlight. It was a game to forget for both Kelce and the Chiefs as the team suffered its first loss of the 2024 campaign. The star tight end couldn't even salvage fantasy managers' Sundays with a touchdown on either of his short catches. To make matters worse, backup Noah Gray poached two potential scoring chances from the longtime starter in Kansas City. Kelce was coming off of his best three-week stretch of the season prior to Sunday's dud, so look for better results as the Chiefs attempt to bounce back against the Panthers next Sunday.

GEORGE KITTLE vs Packers
- Be careful here as Kittle is banged up. Coach Kyle Shanahan said Monday that the 49ers expect Kittle (hamstring) to practice Wednesday, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports. Kittle came out of a Week 10 win at Tampa Bay with hamstring irritation that capped him to a pair of limited practices during Week 11 prep. While he ultimately was inactive for Sunday's loss to the Seahawks, Shanahan noted the tight end was "close" to being able to suit up. Kittle's activity level Wednesday may set the tone for the rest of the week, but it appears as if he'll miss just one game as a result of the injury.

Trey McBride vs Seahawks
-  Analyzing various factors very carefully, we expect him to post nice fantasy stats this week.McBride caught four of five targets for 71 yards in Sunday's 31-6 rout of the Jets. McBride didn't replicate his anomalous rushing touchdown from a week prior, but he continued to operate as one of Kyler Murray's favorite targets in Sunday's victory. The 24-year-old McBride has accrued a 49-552-0 line (plus a two-yard rushing TD) through nine starts as Arizona enters its bye week. McBride will likely continue being a reliable fantasy tight end when the Cardinals resume play against the Seahawks on Nov. 24.

Sit CAIRO SANTOS vs Vikings Santos connected on two of three field-goal attempts in the Bears' 20-19 loss to the Packers on Sunday. Santos had a chance to give the Bears a win with a field-goal attempt in the last moments of the game. However, the Packers were able to block the attempt. Santos has converted multiple field goals in two of the last eight games, and he remains a low-floor fantasy option with occasional upside. Furthermore, now that his low-trajectory kicks are well known, he may not be a great play against a Vikings defense that has allowed the 2nd fewest points to kickers.

Brandon Aubrey vs Commanders
- The Cowboys offense hasn't been as potent without Dak and faces a Commanders defense that ranks 3rd against fantasy kickers.

DUSTIN HOPKINS vs Steelers
- Hopkins missed both field-goal attempts and did not attempt an extra-point kick following the Browns' two touchdowns in Sunday's 35-14 loss to the Saints in Week 11. Hopkins had a day to forget, missing two kicks on consecutive drives in the first half when the game was still close. Hopkins actually missed three kicks -- a 32-yarder that was wide left -- but a Saints penalty gave the Browns another life, only to have Hopkins miss from 27 yards three plays later. He never had a chance to kick an extra point, as Cleveland opted to go for two points following both touchdowns. The Browns may have buyer's remorse after handing Hopkins a three-year deal in the offseason. The kicker has been successful on just 70 percent (14-of-20) of his field-goal kicks and missed two extra-point tries in 2024. This week's matchup facing a Steelers defense that ranks 4th against kickers.

Joshua Karty vs Eagles
- Karty has been erratic lately and has a tough matchup against the Eagles.

Jake Moody vs Packers
- Moody has a tough matchup against the Packers who rank 7th against fantasy kickers.

Chad Ryland vs Seahawks
- Ryland has a tough matchup against a Seahawks defense which ranks 9th against fantasy kickers.

Jake Bates vs Colts
- Bates converted his only field-goal attempt while going 7-for-7 on extra-point tries in Sunday's 52-6 win over the Jaguars. Bates remained busy Sunday, matching a season-high seven PATs, while also nailing a 54-yard field goal in the fourth quarter. The kicker continues to have one of the safest weekly floors from a fantasy perspective, operating alongside the high-powered Detroit offense. On the season, Bates is still a perfect 15-for-15 on field goals and his 39 PATs lead the NFL through Week 11.

CHRIS BOSWELL vs Browns
- Boswell recorded all his team's points this past week on his 6 FG attempts. While he didn't boot any FGs the week before his ability to put points on the board having made 29/30 FG attempts and 20 PATs thus far this year. Look for him to maintain as a solid play.

KA'IMI FAIRBAIRN vs Titans
- Fairbairn has been one of the most reliable fantasy kickers thus far averaging over 11 ppg.

WIL LUTZ vs Raiders
- Lutz should have a solid performance this week as the Raiders have allowed the third most fantasy points to kickers.

JASON MYERS vs Cardinals

Cleveland Browns vs Steelers
- Myles Garrett and the Browns should have a tough matchup against a Steelers offense that has allowed the 5th fewest fantasy points to DSTs.

Indianapolis Colts vs Lions
- We wouldn't bet on Goff turning into the Texans game Goff this week. The Lions have allowed the 4th fewest fantasy ppg to DSTs and are the top scoring offense in the NFL.

Baltimore Ravens vs Chargers
- The Chargers offense has taken care of the ball and has allowed the 6th fewest fantasy ppg to DSTs. As a result, the Ravens don't look like a good play in the "Harbaugh Bowl".

Seattle Seahawks vs Cardinals
- Kyler Murray and company have allowed the 7th fewest fantasy points per game to DSTs, so the Seahawks don't figure to be a great bet as your DST this week.

Detroit Lions vs Colts
- The Lions are a solid team and if they can keep Anthony Richardson from running wild on them should have a good amount of success this week.

Minnesota Vikings vs Bears
- The Vikings defense is the league leader in fantasy DST scoring and should have a good matchup against a Bears offense that is struggling.
