Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba continued his 2024 breakout on Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals. Smith-Njigba was clearly quarterback Geno Smith's preferred target on important downs in this game. Smith-Njigba caught his fourth touchdown of the season and led the Seahawks in targets once again. Smith-Njigba is building serious momentum. He has now recorded at least 110 receiving yards or a touchdown in three straight games. He is a top 10 fantasy wide receiver on the season which was not what most expected coming into the season. With Smith-Njigba seemingly finding consistency, he has entered the must-start conversation. The Seahawks do not have the worst schedule moving forward so Smith-Njigba should continue to produce at a relatively high level. Fantasy manager dreams are finally coming true for the 2023 first-round pick.

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. led the Indy receiving corps in Sunday's 24-6 loss to the Lions, tying Josh Downs with a team-high seven targets and turning it into six receptions for 96 yards. No other Colt receiver had more than three catches or 39 yards. It was an encouraging performance on a day where Anthony Richardson completed just 11 passes on 28 attempts. It was the second consecutive week in which the 27-year-old recorded at least seven targets and five catches with Richardson under center. The Colts will take on the Patriots in Week 13 who just allowed Jaylen Waddle and Tyreek Hill to total 192 yards receiving on 13 catches, so Pittman Jr. has a chance to keep the momentum going so long as Richardson keeps feeding him targets.

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith threw for 254 yards and a touchdown against the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday. Smith added an interception and only scored 13.36 fantasy points. Smith was much better in real life than he was in fantasy. He made a few solid plays for the Seahawks en route to a victory. Smith's passing efficiency remains steady, but his volume has been down in recent weeks. He has not cleared 34 passing attempts since Week 6 as the Seahawks have been trying to slow down games and play better defense. The tactic is working as the team finds themselves as winners of two straight games. Divisional games no less. Look to continue to pick your matchups for Smith throughout the season. He should likely be left on benches in Week 13 when the Seahawks travel to New York, but he could be back on the streaming radar in Week 14 against Arizona.

Seattle Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III was the recipient of six targets and four receptions in the team's Week 12 win against the Arizona Cardinals. Walker finished the game with 22 total opportunities for massive volume. His rushing production was poor (2.6 yards per carry) but the passing volume continues to propel Walker to RB2 numbers. The lack of touchdowns in recent weeks is certainly hurting fantasy managers. The Seahawks have scored 20 or less points in five straight games. However, the Seahawks are finally finding success and decent balance offensively. The defense has also stepped things up in recent weeks. If this team can fully put it together on offense, the points, and subsequently the touchdowns for Walker, should begin to flow. Do not be discouraged by Walker's recent production relative to his early season games. Walker is still a quality starter in fantasy and is performing at about the level you drafted him to be.

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Tyler Lockett is now completely off the fantasy radar. He has not earned more than four targets since Week 7, and he has now caught just two passes in two consecutive games. Quarterback Geno Smith's attention seems to have shifted from Lockett to fellow wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba who has emerged in recent weeks. The Seahawks have also toned down their passing volume which has shrunk the amount of targets available for each of the skill position players on the team. It is encouraging that Lockett was the target on an end zone interception for Smith. However, had the two connected, it still would not signal brighter days ahead for Lockett. Lockett has seemingly aged out of fantasy relevance. If anything were to happen to Smith-Njigba or DK Metcalf, Lockett would be a viable option. With those two players healthy, Lockett belongs on waivers at this point.

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver DK Metcalf was quiet in a Week 12 matchup with the Arizona Cardinals. Metcalf caught four passes for 59 yards on five targets. Since his return from an MCL sprain in Week 11, Metcalf has not produced the high-end numbers fantasy managers are accustomed to. Additionally, fellow wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba has emerged as an excellent weapon for the Seahawks and quarterback Geno Smith. Still, Metcalf's talent is too strong to ignore. He is unlikely to stay quiet for long. This is especially true considering that the Seahawks are entering a stretch run of the season in which they have a chance to take control of the NFC West. They do not have an egregious schedule for wide receivers ahead and should be able to produce solid numbers in the passing game. It is only a matter of time before Metcalf finds his way back into the high-end WR2 conversation.

Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Gardner Minshew II (collarbone) will miss the remainder of the 2024-25 campaign. The signal-caller, who hasn't had an eventful year in Vegas, suffered a broken collarbone during Sunday's loss to the Denver Broncos. While there was a chance Minshew wouldn't be back under center moving ahead even if he stayed healthy, the latest injury will officially mark the end of his season. With Aidan O'Connell (thumb) on the shelf, the Raiders may hand the keys over to Desmond Ridder, who went 5-for-10 for 64 yards in Week 12. There was also an update from NFL Media's Ian Rapoport early on Sunday that the team may be interested in Daniel Jones, at least once he clears waivers and hits the open market.

Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Gardner Minshew II (shoulder) exited Sunday's meeting with the Denver Broncos. The veteran had 230 yards, one touchdown, and one pick in this one, so he's had a decent showing. However, he took a hard hit late in the contest and was assisted back to the locker room. There hasn't been an official injury designation released by the team. Yet, fantasy managers should at least consider him questionable to return, although it's unlikely he'll be back, considering the contest is nearing an end. In the meantime, Desmond Ridder is in to handle things under center.

Dynasty | Cowboys running back Rico Dowdle had 86 rushing yards, three catches and 12 receiving yards in a win against Washington. Dynasty Analysis: Most importantly, Dowdle had 22 touches compared to just three for Ezekiel Elliott. It seems Dallas is finally ready to let Dowdle be the primary running back, but that may not mean much moving forward since the Cowboys are mired in a miserable season. Still, Dowdle could be a good flex player or RB2 moving forward should they continue to feature him. Unfortunately, his dynasty value likely won't rise much this year unless he really dominates over the next couple of months since it seems Dallas will likely replace him next season.

Dynasty | Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels completed 25-of-38 passes for 275 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions, while adding 74 rushing yards and another score in a loss to Dallas. Dynasty Analysis: The Commanders have lost three in a row after winning seven-of-eight games this season, but Daniels is far from the one to blame. He continues to make plays through the air and on the ground and looks the part of a QB1 long-term. While the losses are a concern, they've done nothing to move the needle in terms of his dynasty value. He remains an elite-level hold at the quarterback position in dynasty leagues.

Dynasty | Bucs running back Bucky Irving had 87 rushing yards, six catches, 64 receiving yards and one touchdown in a win against the Giants. Dynasty Analysis: Tampa Bay has a three-headed monster in the backfield with Irving, Rachaad White, and Sean Tucker, but it's hard to look at that and say any of them have a higher dynasty ceiling than Irving, who was flat-out dominant today. While his weekly value may have some volatility to it, Irving looks the part and is steadily rising up the dynasty rankings. He's a player worth attempting to acquire as the trade deadline approaches in many leagues.

Dynasty | Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa completed 29-of-40 passes for 317 yards with four touchdowns and no interceptions in an easy win against New England. Dynasty Analysis: It's really pretty simple here, When Tua is healthy, he's a QB1 who can post monster games every week. However, he's also perhaps one head injury away from never playing again. It's a nightmare for dynasty managers, but it's clear Tua is simply going to be a high-risk hold for anyone who has him on their roster. His dynasty value is likely capped out based on his health, but dynasty managers should ride the hot hand here as it looks like the Dolphins offense is starting to click again.

From Dynasty League Fantasy

Dynasty | Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle had eight catches for 144 yards and a touchdown in a win against New England. Dynasty Analysis: Waddle recorded five catches for 109 yards in the opener, then proceeded to post nine straight games with single-digit fantasy production, which is shocking based on his level of talent and history of production. While some of that is clearly because of Tua Tagovailoa missing time, Waddle has looked lost all year, This could be the start of a second half breakout, but Waddle's dynasty managers will need to see more before trusting him in lineups. His dynasty value plunge should stop for the week, however.

From Dynasty League Fantasy

Dynasty | Dolphins tight end Jonnu Smith had nine catches for 87 yards and a touchdown in a win against New England. Dynasty Analysis: A week after posting a career high 101 yards against the Raiders, Smith could be this week's TE1 after another gem. It's clear Miami is seeing him as a matchup mismatch and utilizing him to a new degree recently. At this point, Smith's value arrow is pointing up and he's looking like a lineup lock moving forward.

Detroit Lions wide receiver Kalif Raymond (foot) was held without a catch in Sunday's win over the Colts. That type of showing from the 30-year-old isn't surprising. But there is still concern after he exited the contest and didn't return because of a foot injury. While there hasn't been much more information released since Raymond's premature departure, head coach Dan Campbell indicated the wideout's injury is "a little more serious" than the other Lions' players who exited in Week 12. There should be an update soon. However, there's a chance Raymond won't be on the field for Thursday's meeting with NFC North showdown with the Bears.

Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs (cramping) returned to Sunday's matchup against the 49ers. Jacobs has had a stellar showing in Week 12, accumulating 99 yards and two scores off 22 touches. Fortunately, there wasn't much concern regarding his return for this one after he exited due to cramping. However, with the Packers up by two scores heading toward the middle of the fourth quarter, Jacobs may not see much work for the remainder of the contest.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Romeo Doubs (concussion) won't return to Sunday's matchup against the 49ers. The wideout was leading the way on the receiving end before going down with a concussion, so he'll finish the day with three catches for 54 yards. With that said, the Packers have a quick turnaround before meeting the Dolphins on Thanksgiving, meaning Doubts may not have enough time to get healthy. But until he's back on the field, Christian Watson and Jayden Reed will likely be the favorite targets of Jordan Love.

Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs (cramping) is questionable to return to Sunday's meeting with the 49ers. The veteran has had a monster showing in Week 12, amassing 99 yards and two touchdowns off 22 carries. Fortunately, it doesn't appear as if things are serious, so there's a chance he'll return. But with the Packers up in the contest, he may not be needed for the rest of the day, which would open the door for Emanuel Wilson to get more work.

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson reverted to his inefficient ways on Sunday in a 24-6 loss to the Lions. A week after completing 66.7% of his passes and accounting for three touchdowns (one pass, two rush), the 22-year-old completed just 11 of 28 pass attempts (39.3%) for 172 yards and no TDs. He added 10 rushes for 61 yards, but no scores there either. On the bright side, the second-year pro did not turn the ball over at all. It's the third time in his last four starts that he's failed to complete more than 11 passes or surpass 175 yards, and the former first-round draft pick has thrown just two TD passes during that time, so managers are relying on rushing TDs which makes him a risky play from week-to-week. Week 13 brings a matchup with the Patriots who just allowed Tua Tagovailoa to shred them for 317 yards and four TDs, but it's hard to envision Richardson having that kind of success.

From RotoBaller

Carolina Panthers quarterback Bryce Young had 263 yards and a touchdown off 21-for-35 passing in Sunday's three-point loss to the Chiefs. He added three carries for 20 yards. The signal-caller has had his share of struggles throughout the 2024-25 campaign. However, Young arguably had his best showing of the season. Head coach Dave Canales remained adamant Young would remain starting for the Week 13 NFC South meeting with the Bucs. Unfortunately, he'll need a few more acceptable performances before fantasy managers consider him a starting option.
