Arizona Cardinals running back Bam Knight saw a scaled back role in the rushing game during Sunday's game against the San Francisco 49ers. Heading into this game, Knight had seen nine carries or more in each of his last four games. However, Knight carried the ball only five times for 24 yards and scored a touchdown in the loss. He also hauled in all four of his targets through the air for 21 additional yards. The fact the game was a blowout could've contributed to the lack of carries for Knight. He figures to have a bigger role during next week's matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Fantasy managers should be able to plug in Knight as a low-end flex option

Denver Broncos running back Jaleel McLaughlin saw an increased role during Sunday's game against the Kansas City Chiefs. McLaughlin has been a healthy scratch throughout most of the season, but is likely to see an expanded role going forward. The Broncos are going to be without J.K. Dobbins (foot) for the foreseeable future, so McLaughlin will likely see more touches. He carried the ball six times for 19 yards and scored a touchdown in the Week 11 win. McLaughlin won't be worth adding with the team on bye in Week 12, but is someone to keep an eye on going forward. He could see a handful of carries on a weekly basis.

New England Patriots wide receiver Mack Hollins was a non-factor in the offense early in the season, but is starting to make an impact. Over the last four games, Hollins has finished with 64 receiving yards or more. The absence of Kayshon Boutte (hamstring) has led to more targets coming Hollins' way. Once Boutte returns, Hollins figures to see his role reduced, but he should still stay in the gameplan. Hollins is someone to consider as a flex option for the upcoming Week 12 matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Christian Watson broke out in a big way during Sunday's game against the New York Giants. Watson has been held in check during his first few games, but finally found the end zone this past weekend. The 26-year-old hauled in four of his five targets for 46 yards and two touchdowns in the win. Given the Packers current injuries, Watson could be an interesting waiver wire addition this week. The expectation is that Watson's role on the team will grow as time goes on. He should offer at least flex value for the Week 12 matchup against the Minnesota Vikings.

Dallas Cowboys wide receivers CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens were on the sideline for the first drive of Monday's game against the Las Vegas Raiders. The benching of these players wasn't because of an injury. This was a coach's decision, so it appears that Lamb and Pickens were being disciplined for some reason by head coach Brian Schottenheimer. Fantasy managers don't need to panic, as both players were back in the game after that. Hopefully, this won't be a problem going forward. Both Lamb (touchdown) and Pickens were quickly involved in Dallas' passing attack after sitting out the first offensive series in Week 11.

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Greg Dortch has been a non-factor basically all season until making some noise during Sunday's game. Dortch was asked to step up into a larger role with Marvin Harrison Jr. (appendix) sidelined this weekend. The 27-year-old delivered as he hauled in all six of his targets for 66 yards and a touchdown in the loss to the San Francisco 49ers. Dortch played a season-high 66 percent of the offensive snaps during this contest. He could be worth snagging off the waiver wire for Week 12, assuming Harrison misses another game.

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Joshua Palmer (ankle, knee) was listed as a limited practice participant on Monday's estimated injury report. Receivers Mecole Hardman (calf) and Curtis Samuel (elbow, neck) were listed as non-participants. Palmer missed Weeks 8-10 with ankle and knee injuries, but he was able to return to action on Sunday in the win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The 26-year-old played 50% of the offensive snaps but caught only two of his five targets for 17 yards. It was an especially disappointing stat line with receiver Keon Coleman out for disciplinary reasons and tight end Dalton Kincaid (hamstring) sidelined by injury in a game in which the Bills put up 44 points and moved the ball at will against Tampa. Even if Coleman and Kincaid both miss another game this Thursday night, Palmer should be faded in Week 12 in a much tougher matchup against the Houston Texans and their top-ranked defense.

The Washington Commanders signed kicker Jake Moody off the Chicago Bears' practice squad on Monday, according to John Keim of ESPN. It looks like Moody will get the first chance to take over kicking duties in D.C. after the team released struggling veteran Matt Gay on Monday. However, with the Commanders on bye in Week 12, the team could bring in additional competition for Moody as they prepare for a Week 13 matchup on Sunday Night Football against the 9-2 Denver Broncos. Moody, 25, was cut by the San Francisco 49ers early this season before he latched on with the Bears. He has gone 9-for-12 on field-goal tries and 5-for-5 on his extra-point attempts in 2025 in just three games played. Moody has a career 76.1% success rate on his 71 career field-goal attempts, and fantasy managers will want to stay away from him if he's the Commanders' placekicker for a difficult matchup in Week 13.

Houston Texans tight end Dalton Schultz (shoulder) was listed as a limited practice participant on Monday's estimated injury report, according to ESPN's DJ Bien-Aime. It's an injury that Schultz has been dealing with for the last month, but he's played in the last four games and should be good to go for this Thursday night's tilt against the Buffalo Bills in Week 12, barring a setback. The 29-year-old got off to a slow start in 2025, not going over 39 receiving yards in any of his first four games. Since Week 7, though, he has 30 catches on 41 targets for 303 yards and a touchdown in five games. Schultz has been heavily involved with quarterback C.J. Stroud (concussion) out of the last two games, too, catching 13 of 20 targets for 104 yards and a score. Even if Stroud is out again this week, Schultz will be on the TE1/2 borderline in fantasy football.

Washington Commanders RB Chase Edmonds reverted back to the practice squad Monday, Nov. 17, after being on the active roster for the Week 11 game.

Houston Texans wide receiver Nico Collins (ankle) was listed as a limited participant on Monday's estimated injury report, according to DJ Bien-Aime of ESPN. It's a new injury for Collins, but he didn't appear to be hurt in the team's Week 11 win over the Tennessee Titans. The 26-year-old caught a season-high nine passes on 10 targets for 92 yards and his fourth touchdown of the year in the 16-13 victory. Starting quarterback C.J. Stroud has missed the last two games with a concussion, but it hasn't slowed Collins down, as he now has 16 receptions on 25 targets for 228 yards and a touchdown the last two weeks with Davis Mills running the offense. As long as Collins can suit up on Thursday night against the Buffalo Bills in Week 12, he should remain in all starting fantasy lineups. He is the WR11 with 12.6 half-PPR points per game in 2025.

Dallas Cowboys rookie running back Jaydon Blue and wide receiver Jonathan Mingo are both healthy scratches for the Monday night game against the Las Vegas Raiders. Blue didn't do anything over the bye week to convince the Cowboys that he deserved to be active in Week 11. The 21-year-old drew rave reviews in training camp during the summer, but he has been active in only four games in his first year in the NFL and has 22 rushing attempts for 65 yards while catching one pass for five yards. The Cowboys elevated Malik Davis to the active 53-man roster, and he will operate as the RB2 behind starter Javonte Williams on Monday. Mingo was activated from the Injured Reserve before the Week 8 game, but he has yet to play so far in 2025.

Cincinnati Bengals head coach Zac Taylor said on Monday that All-Pro defensive end Trey Hendrickson (hip) is doubtful to play in Week 12 against the New England Patriots on Sunday, according to Charlie Goldsmith. Hendrickson injured his hip in Week 8 and hasn't played since. If he misses this Sunday's game against the Patriots, it will be his fourth straight missed game. After getting his long-term contract extension, the 30-year-old pass-rusher has disappointed in 2025, recording four sacks, 16 tackles (11 solo), and a forced fumble in seven games. Hendrickson had back-to-back 17.5-sack seasons for Cincy in 2023 and 2024. He plans to return this season, but Hendrickson might require offseason core-muscle surgery. Even if Hendrickson were to return this weekend, the Bengals' defense/special teams would be one to fade against the first-place Patriots.

The Denver Broncos are optimistic that cornerback Patrick Surtain (pectoral) and linebacker Alex Singleton (illness) can return following the team's Week 12 bye, according to Jeremy Fowler of ESPN. Surtain has been out since straining his pectoral muscle in Week 8. Singleton, meanwhile, had surgery on Nov. 7 to have a cancerous tumor removed from one of his testicles. He has received encouraging results post-surgery. Singleton isn't a lock to return for the Sunday night game on Nov. 30 against the Washington Commanders, but he's trending toward being ready as of now, according to multiple sources. An already top-tier Broncos defense would be getting some key contributors back after their bye. The Commanders will also be on bye in Week 12, but they are one of the more banged-up teams around the league and figure to be without quarterback Jayden Daniels (elbow) again.

Cleveland Browns rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders is expected to start Sunday's game in Las Vegas against the Raiders in Week 12 with fellow rookie QB Dillon Gabriel (head) in the league's concussion protocol, according to Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer. Sanders will become the team's 42nd starter since 1999 this weekend, barring something unexpected. The 23-year-old fifth-rounder out of Colorado made his NFL debut in place of the injured Gabriel in Sunday's loss to the Baltimore Ravens and struggled, going 4-for-16 as a passer for 47 yards, no touchdowns, and an interception. He took two sacks and also ran the ball three times for 16 yards while fumbling. Sanders will have a much easier matchup in his first career start, but more struggles wouldn't be a surprise. The Browns have said that Gabriel will return to the starting role whenever he's cleared from the concussion protocol, so Sanders doesn't deserve a big investment off the waiver wire in two-QB leagues.

Houston Texans LB Jamal Hill (hamstring) and QB C.J. Stroud (concussion) did not participate in practice Monday, Nov. 17. LB Azeez Al-Shaair (illness, knee), DE Will Anderson Jr. (ankle), DE Denico Autry (knee), OT Trent Brown (hand, knee), WR Nico Collins (ankle), OT Tytus Howard (ankle, knee), S Jalen Pitre (concussion) and TE Dalton Schultz (shoulder) were limited during practice. WR Braxton Berrios (quadriceps), CB Myles Bryant (ankle), PK Ka'imi Fairbairn (quadriceps), LB Jake Hansen (elbow), OG Ed Ingram (knee), QB Davis Mills (elbow) and TE Cade Stover (foot) fully participated in practice. The Texans only held a walkthrough Monday, so this is an estimation.

The Dallas Cowboys have declared RB Jaydon Blue, DE Solomon Thomas, WR Jonathan Mingo, OT Hakeem Adeniji, CB Trikweze Bridges and LB Damone Clark inactive for Week 11.

Houston Texans TE Dalton Schultz (shoulder) was limited during practice Monday, Nov. 17. The Texans only held a walkthrough Monday, so this is an estimation.

Fantasy Spin: Schultz has been dealing with the injury for several weeks but has not missed any games and should be available to play against the Buffalo Bills. He has posted at least 50 yards in four of the last five games and can be a low-end No. 1 tight end in fantasy leagues.

Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud (concussion) remains in the league's concussion protocol and was listed as a non-participant on the team's estimated injury report on Monday, according to DJ Bien-Aime of ESPN. There are still two days left for Stroud to make his way through the NFL's concussion protocol, but things are trending toward the 24-year-old missing a third straight game for the Week 12 game on Thursday night against the Buffalo Bills. The Texans will probably hold him out on a short week and hope that he can clear the concussion protocol next week and play against the division-rival Indianapolis Colts in Week 13. Davis Mills has gone 2-0 and thrown for 566 yards, three touchdowns, and an interception as the replacement for Stroud. He'll be a low-end QB2 streaming option again on Thursday if Stroud is ruled out by Wednesday.
