Despite a 32-27 home loss to Tennessee, the Houston Texans defense/special teams put together a big fantasy day with eight sacks, three turnovers, and another defensive touchdown. The Texans, who also scored last week against Dallas, found the end zone Sunday when safety Jimmie Ward nabbed a pass from Titans quarterback Will Levis and returned it 65 yards for a score. The Texans harassed Levis all day and also recovered two fumbles, but it wasn't quite enough in the defeat. Houston will travel to last-place Jacksonville in Week 13.

Detroit Lions wide receiver Kalif Raymond (foot) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Indianapolis Colts. He finishes Week 12 with one target, zero catches, and 30 punt return yards. There is concern that Raymond could require an extended absence, but we should get more info and confirmation on his status following the conclusion of Sunday's game. Tim Patrick and Allen Robinson will earn more snaps in their depth roles behind Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jameson Williams.

Houston Texans safety Jalen Pitre (shoulder) has been downgraded to out and will not return Sunday against the Tennessee Titans. The 25-year-old registered one tackle prior to exiting, so he now has 65 tackles, one forced fumble, and one interception in 2024. Jimmie Ward and M.J. Stewart will earn more opportunities for the duration of Pitre's absence.

San Francisco 49ers left tackle Trent Williams (ankle) is officially inactive for Week 12 against the Green Bay Packers. He had been listed as questionable and will ultimately miss his first game of the 2024 season. San Francisco finds itself heavily shorthanded against Green Bay with Williams joining Brock Purdy (shoulder) and Nick Bosa (hip, oblique) on the 49ers' list of inactive players. Jaylon Moore will likely start at left tackle in Williams' absence.

Washington Commanders running back Brian Robinson Jr. (ankle) exited Sunday's game against the Dallas Cowboys and is officially questionable to return. This is the second time he has exited the game, as well as the second time he has been listed as questionable. Robinson did return after exiting the first time, but it remains to be seen whether this apparent re-aggravation of the injury forces him out for the rest of the contest. At the time of his departure, Robinson had 13 rushing yards and 11 receiving yards. Austin Ekeler and Jeremy McNichols will lead Washington's backfield for the duration of Robinson's absence.

Seattle Seahawks tight end Noah Fant (groin) is officially inactive for Week 12 against the Arizona Cardinals. He had been listed as questionable, and while it seemed like there was a chance he'd play, the Seahawks will ultimately hold him out for at least one more game. A.J. Barner will operate as the Seahawks' top tight end in Fant's absence. Barner is averaging 5.5 targets, three catches, and 21 yards per game when filling in for Fant.

Las Vegas Raiders tight end Harrison Bryant (ankle) registered two limited practices before the weekend and picked up a questionable tag. He was since ruled inactive before their late-afternoon kickoff. Bryant was getting some extra snaps with fellow tight end Michael Mayer out for a while, but it looks like that will flip-fop with Mayer back on the field. Brock Bowers remains the TE1 though, so he'll see the bulk of the snaps.

Detroit Lions running back David Montgomery (shoulder) exited during the third quarter of Sunday's game against the Indianapolis Colts. He is officially questionable to return. At the time of his departure, he had 37 rushing yards, 36 receiving yards, and a touchdown. While losing a player of Montgomery's caliber can be crushing, the Lions are still in a good position with Jahmyr Gibbs leading their backfield. Gibbs has 69 scrimmage yards and two touchdowns so far Sunday, and he'll continue to handle a heavy workload regardless of whether Montgomery checks back into the contest.

Carolina Panthers tight end Ja'Tavion Sanders (neck) has been ruled out for the remainder of Week 12 against the Kansas City Chiefs. He suffered a scary upper-body injury during the first half that required him to be carted to the locker room on a stabilizing backboard. Unsurprisingly, the Panthers determined that Sanders would not be able to return. They are taking him to the hospital for further evaluation, and we'll likely get some sort of update on his status postgame. Sanders finished Week 12 with three catches for 49 yards. Assuming he's unable to play in Week 13, Tommy Tremble will step up as the Panthers' primary tight end.

Las Vegas Raiders running back Zamir White (quadriceps) has been deemed inactive, as expected, for Sunday's game against the Denver Broncos. His backfield mate, Alexander Mattison (ankle), was also ruled inactive. Ameer Abdullah and Dylan Laube will be the starting backfield for this matchup against a tougher defensive unit.

From RotoBaller

Denver Broncos defensive lineman Zach Allen (heel) has been ruled inactive for Week 12's contest against the Las Vegas Raiders. Allen is tied for the third-most sacks on the team with 5.0 and has the most tackles for loss with 12. While he watches from the sidelines, Jordan Jackson is the next man up on the depth chart while John Franklin-Myers will be even more important.

Las Vegas Raiders running back Alexander Mattison (ankle) has been ruled inactive for Week 12's game against the Denver Broncos. His ankle issue proved to be too much as he was already doubtful heading into Sunday. Zamir White (quadriceps) was also deemed inactive so that leaves Ameer Abdullah and Dylan Laube as the backfield duo in this contest.

Carolina Panthers tight end Ja'Tavion Sanders (head/neck) was trying to make the extra effort to get a first down and was hit into a somersault before landing on top of his head. Unfortunately, the rookie had to be put on a backboard and carted off the field after that play in the second quarter. He's unlikely to return even though there hasn't been an official report from the team yet. He'll probably undergo further testing on Sunday night and Monday to determine the severity of the issue. Tommy Tremble will take over at tight end in the meantime.

Miami Dolphins linebacker Anthony Walker Jr. (hamstring) suffered a non-contact hamstring injury on Sunday but was able to walk under his own power to the locker room. He's now considered questionable to return. In 10 games, Walker has accrued 46 total tackles, 21 solo, and one interception. The next man up is Tyrel Dodson, the former Seattle Seahawk and Buffalo Bill.

New York Giants linebacker Azeez Ojulari (toe) is questionable to return to Sunday's meeting with the Buccaneers. As if things in New York can't get any worse, the team could be without the 24-year-old for the rest of Week 12 because of a toe injury. Ojulari ranks second on the team in sacks this season (six), so the G-Men are hoping he'll get back on the field. If he doesn't return, Patrick Johnson would be in line for more snaps.

Washington Commanders running back Brian Robinson Jr. (ankle) returned to Sunday's game against the Dallas Cowboys. Fantasy managers were anxious when he injured his ankle very early in the contest. However, there was a collective sigh of relief when he was observed walking back to the locker room. But Robinson is back, meaning Austin Ekeler likely won't be as busy.

According to NFL Media's Ian Rapoport, the Las Vegas Raiders could be in the market to sign quarterback Daniel Jones. The signal-caller, who was recently released by the New York Giants, is expected to clear waivers and hit free agency. The Ravens, Vikings, and 49ers have been a few teams rumored to be interested in his services, although he'd presumably be a backup. But with the Raiders quarterback struggles this season, Jones could find his way under center, even if it's only for a few games. He would also add value moving ahead if the team adds a quarterback in the 2025 NFL Draft. Still, that's assuming Jones signs. Either way, there may be a lot of updates in this scenario in the next few days. For now, he isn't worth a spot on fantasy rosters.

Washington Commanders running back Brian Robinson Jr. (ankle) is questionable to return to Sunday's NFC East meeting with the Cowboys. He had only one carry for negative yardage, which is what he will finish with if he can't get back on the field in Week 12. Considering Robinson has been banged up a few times this season, the team may opt to keep him sidelined for the remainder of the contest. If that turns out to be the case, Austin Ekeler would be in line for more work.

Carolina Panthers kicker Eddy Pineiro (knee) is active on Sunday for the Week 12 contest against the visiting Kansas City Chiefs. Pineiro apparently injured his left knee while celebrating after making the game-winning kick in Germany in the overtime victory over the New York Giants, but he had last week's bye to rest up and is good to go this weekend. The 29-year-old should be avoided for fantasy purposes, though, in Carolina's inconsistent offense as they take on an underrated Chiefs defense. Pineiro has only attempted 13 field goals (successful on 12) on the year and has made all 17 of his extra-point opportunities. The Chiefs defense has allowed the fifth-fewest fantasy points per game to the kicking position this year, and Pineiro just hasn't had enough volume in the kicking game to warrant fantasy attention.

Carolina Panthers rookie wide receiver Jalen Coker (quadriceps) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 12 after he missed practice on Friday with a quad injury. The good news for the Panthers is that they'll be getting veteran receiver Adam Thielen (hamstring) back for the first time since Week 3. The 23-year-old Coker has seen his role grow in Carolina's offense since the team traded Diontae Johnson to the Baltimore Ravens, but the volume still hasn't been enough to make him a realistic flex option in 12-team fantasy leagues. He did play 90 percent of the offensive snaps in the Week 10 win over the New York Giants in Germany and received a season-high eight targets, but it led to only three catches for 41 yards. With Coker out on Sunday against KC, expect David Moore to serve as Carolina's No. 3 behind Thielen and rookie Xavier Legette.
