After coming down with a groin injury in Friday's practice, New York Giants rookie wide receiver Malik Nabers (groin) is listed as questionable for Sunday's Week 12 game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. However, he told ESPN New York's Jordan Raanan in the locker room that he intends to play. While it's good news that the 21-year-old is feeling good enough to say he intends to play this weekend, the ultimate decision on Sunday will come down to the coaching staff. Nabers' fantasy value could also be taking a pretty big hit with quarterback Tommy Devito taking over under center moving forward. The bottom line is that fantasy managers need to have a plan in place in case Nabers is ruled out Sunday morning. In his last four games, Nabers has 26 catches on 42 targets for 221 yards and no scores. If he's unable to go or is limited, Wan'Dale Robinson and Darius Slayton (concussion) would see more work.

Minnesota Vikings tight end Josh Oliver (ankle) has been ruled out ahead of the Week 12 matchup against the Chicago Bears. Oliver hasn't been able to practice all week due to a lingering ankle issue. His absence won't mean too much for the Vikings offense. Oliver has taken a backseat with T.J. Hockenson back in the mix. Last week, Oliver hauled in all three of his targets for 34 yards in the win over the Tennessee Titans. The absence of Oliver means that Hockenson should see a full-time role and could be an uptick for his value. However, Hockenson should already be treated as a TE1 heading into this game.

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Sam Darnold (foot) is ready to go ahead of the Week 12 matchup against the Chicago Bears. Darnold was limited by a foot injury to begin the week. However, Darnold appears to be fine now after back-to-back full practice sessions. Fantasy managers should expect Darnold to be a full-go for Sunday's important divisional game. Darnold has cooled off a bit since his hot beginning to the season, but is still a viable fantasy option. Fantasy managers should treat him as a low-end QB1 for this weekend.

Chicago Bears running back D'Andre Swift (groin) has been tagged as questionable ahead of the Week 12 matchup against the Minnesota Vikings. Swift has been progressing throughout the week as he sat out of Wednesday's practice. Swift was limited on Thursday and was able to get through a full practice session on Friday. The fact that Swift was able to get through a full practice session on Friday should mean that he'll be ready to go this weekend. If he sits, Roschon Johnson figures to become the lead back and would see an increase in snaps. Swift should be considered a RB2 for this tough matchup against the Vikings rush defense.

Chicago Bears wide receiver Keenan Allen (ankle) popped up on Friday's injury report, which now gives him a questionable tag for the Week 12 matchup against the Minnesota Vikings. Allen appears to have suffered an ankle injury during Friday's practice. The severity of the injury is unknown, but now the oft-injured wideout is uncertain for Sunday. Fantasy managers should get a backup in place considering this injury happened late in the week. If Allen sits, DJ Moore and Rome Odunze figure to have increased roles in the offense.

Carolina Panthers defensive back Jaycee Horn (calf) will be available ahead of Sunday's game against the Kansas City Chiefs. Horn has been limited in practice all week due to a calf issue. Despite that, Horn appears to be feeling good enough to play this weekend. He has been a key defender for the Panthers this season. Horn has 44 tackles, 10 passes defended, and one interception through 10 games. His presence on the field is a plus for the Panthers, but this defense isn't worth streaming against the Chiefs offense.

Dynasty | Browns wide receiver Cedric Tillman had two catches for 28 yards in a win against the Steelers. Dynasty Analysis: Uh oh. After three straight solid games, Tillman has now posted just five total catches for 75 scoreless yards the past two weeks. Even worse, it seems Jerry Jeudy is emerging as Jameis Winston's top target. The quick dynasty ascension for Tillman will stop for the moment until we see more moving forward. At this point, he's a tough start in dynasty leagues.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers WR Mike Evans (hamstring) practiced in full on Friday, Nov. 22, and no longer appears on the injury report for Week 12 against the New York Giants.

Fantasy Spin: Head coach Todd Bowles told reporters on Friday that Evans "will play as long as he is healthy and fresh." The Buccaneers would be wise to ease Evans back into action after he missed the team's last three games, but they may not feel they can afford that luxury. A healthy and rested Evans should be considered a strong WR1 option in an offense that no longer has Chris Godwin in it, so the 31-year-old needs to be back in lineups this weekend.

Kansas City Chiefs running back Isiah Pacheco (leg) has been ruled out ahead of the Week 12 matchup against the Carolina Panthers. Pacheco was designated to return from the injured reserve last week. He has been able to get through some limited practice sessions, but Pacheco isn't quite ready for game action. The Chiefs have decided to hold him out for at least one more game. Kareem Hunt will continue working as the lead back and should have RB1 value for this favorable matchup against the Panthers defense. Fantasy managers can be hopeful to get something out of Pacheco next week.

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb (back, foot) was able to return to the practice field on Friday and is expected to play on Sunday against the division-rival Washington Commanders in Week 12. Lamb is dealing with multiple injuries this week. He practiced on a limited basis on Wednesday before being downgraded to a DNP on Thursday. While he could be listed as questionable on Friday's final injury report, fantasy managers should leave the team's WR1 in their starting fantasy lineups for this weekend with a favorable matchup on tap. Lamb's fantasy upside the rest of the year took a hit with the season-ending injury to quarterback Dak Prescott (hamstring), but Lamb was able to catch eight of 12 targets for 93 yards in last week's loss to the Houston Texans with Cooper Rush leading the offense. Treat Lamb as a low-end WR1/high-end WR2 moving forward.

Carolina Panthers RB Miles Sanders (ankle) did not practice all week and has been ruled out for Week 12 versus the Kansas City Chiefs. LB Amare Barno (knee) was upgraded to a limited practice on Friday, Nov. 22, but is listed as doubtful. PK Eddy Pineiro (knee) and WR Jalen Coker (quad) did not practice on Friday but are listed as questionable. WR Adam Thielen (hamstring) was limited in practice all week and is listed as questionable. LB Jadeveon Clowney (knee), DE LaBryan Ray (hand), LB D.J. X. Johnson (concussion), RB Jonathon Brooks (knee) and LB D.J. Wonnum (quad) practiced in full on Friday but are also listed as questionable. CB Jaycee Horn (calf) was limited in practice all week but has been removed from the injury report. OG Damien Lewis (illness), DL A'Shawn Robinson (rest), OT Ikem Ekwonu (ankle), S Xavier Woods (shoulder) and OT Taylor Moton (rest) practiced in full on Friday and also no longer appear on the injury report.

Dallas Cowboys kicker Brandon Aubrey has been one of the lone bright spots for the team this season. The 29-year-old did miss a 40-yard kick on Monday night, but he drilled a 53-yarder and a 64-yarder that was wiped off of the board due to an unnecessary roughness penalty. Aubrey's leg has arguably been Dallas' best offensive weapon this year. The star kicker faces a solid matchup this week against Washington although with the way Dallas' offense is trending, he is a tough start. He can be considered for lineups but there are better options out there, especially with CeeDee Lamb (back, foot) potentially missing this weekend's contest.

Tennessee Titans head coach Brian Callahan said that running back Tyjae Spears (concussion) will not play in Week 12 against the division-rival Houston Texans on Sunday after missing practice all week. Spears suffered a concussion in the Week 11 loss to the Minnesota Vikings and was unable to clear the league's concussion protocol in time to play this weekend. His absence means that lead runner Tony Pollard will have some more fantasy upside in a bad matchup against Houston. Meanwhile, Julius Chestnut will have a more substantial role as the change-of-pace option behind Pollard in Tennessee's backfield. It remains to be seen if Spears will be able to clear the concussion protocol next week in time to play the Washington Commanders in Week 13. The 23-year-old has mostly taken a back seat to Pollard in 2024, seeing 43 carries for 161 yards and a TD while catching 17 passes for 88 yards.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans (hamstring) will return to face the New York Giants in Week 12 this Sunday after missing the last three games with a right-hamstring injury. When asked how much the Bucs will use Evans in his return this weekend, head coach Todd Bowles said, "We'll play him as long as he's healthy and fresh. If he needs to be in there, he'll be in there, but we'll get him out when we have to." It sounds like the future Hall of Famer could have his reps capped somewhat, depending on how he's feeling during the game, but fantasy managers will want to throw him back into their lineups in all leagues. Chris Godwin (ankle) is out for the season, which means Evans could handle even more targets than he did before his injury. Before getting hurt, Evans was averaging 11.8 half-PPR fantasy points a game, ranking him 21st among all wideouts.

Carolina Panthers kicker Eddy Pineiro (knee) is listed as questionable to play in Week 12 on Sunday versus the Kansas City Chiefs with a left-knee injury that he suffered in Germany during the overtime celebration in the win over the New York Giants in Week 10, according to head coach Dave Canales. However, Canales also said Pineiro had two good practices this week coming out of the bye and is expected to play this weekend. The 29-year-old probably won't be 100 percent on Sunday, though, and fantasy managers should be looking to avoid him against one of the better defenses in the league in KC. Carolina's inconsistent offense has only provided Pineiro with 13 field-goal attempts (31st in the NFL) in 2024 and 17 extra-point opportunities (tied for 21st). Continue to avoid Pineiro as a fantasy kicker.

Carolina Panthers rookie wide receiver Jalen Coker (quadriceps) popped up on the Week 12 injury report and missed practice on Friday with a quad injury. The Panthers listed him as questionable to play in Sunday's contest against the visiting Kansas City Chiefs. Given the fact that the 23-year-old's injury occurred in the final practice of the week, he may be on the wrong side of questionable for this weekend. The good news for the Panthers is that veteran Adam Thielen (hamstring), although also listed as questionable, is expected to play against KC for the first time since Week 3. If Coker plays, he won't be a recommended flex play in deep fantasy leagues with the return of Thielen. Coker has caught 17 of his 26 targets for 263 yards and one TD in his first seven NFL games. If he's ruled out on Sunday, David Moore would be in line to serve as Carolina's WR3.

Dallas Cowboys second-year tight end Luke Schoonmaker is coming off of the most productive game of his career after Jake Ferguson (concussion) left early. Ferguson is trending towards missing Sunday's game against Washington, meaning Schoonmaker will likely again form a committee at tight end with rookie Brevyn Spann-Ford. With CeeDee Lamb (back, foot) also banged up and potentially missing the game, there will be plenty of targets to spread around against a mediocre Washington pass defense. Schoonmaker is a viable option at a thin tight end position amidst a plethora of bye weeks.

From RotoBaller

Dallas Cowboys running back Rico Dowdle is one of the lone healthy players on the offense heading into Week 13. Despite Dallas' struggles running the ball behind a young offensive line, Dowdle grades as a flex option this week against a Washington defense that surrenders the sixth-most fantasy points per game to opposing running backs. Dowdle could see even more touches than usual if star receiver CeeDee Lamb (back, foot) misses Sunday's tilt, making him a high-end flex option. His ceiling is limited due to Dallas' offensive struggles, but Dowdle should be started in most formats with loads of byes across the league.

After missing practice all week, Carolina Panthers running back Miles Sanders (ankle) has officially been ruled out for Week 12 against the Kansas City Chiefs. Sanders said he's dealing with a severely sprained ankle that he suffered in the Week 10 loss to the New York Giants in Germany, which means he may not be ready to return for Week 13 to face the division-rival Tampa Bay Buccaneers. His fantasy stock is taking another hit with rookie Jonathon Brooks (knee) fully expected to make his NFL debut this weekend against the Chiefs after recovering from an ACL tear that he suffered in 2023 in his final collegiate season at Texas. Brooks will serve as the change-of-pace back behind starter Chuba Hubbard on Sunday and most likely for the rest of the 2024 season, relegating Sanders to the RB3 role whenever he recovers from his ankle injury.
