Denver Broncos rookie wide receiver Devaughn Vele caught six of his nine targets for a season-high 80 yards in the 29-19 win over the division-rival Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday in Week 12 action. Vele has quietly become rookie quarterback Bo Nix's second-favorite target through the air behind Courtland Sutton in recent weeks. The 26-year-old seventh-round selection out of Utah was second on the team on the day with his six receptions and nine targets behind Sutton. Vele is suddenly becoming interesting in fantasy with Nix continuing to improve as a passer, making Vele at least worth a look for receiver depth in deeper fantasy leagues. However, with Josh Reynolds (hand) getting closer to a return from Injured Reserve, it could put a damper on Vele's volume as he also continues to battle for targets with rookie Troy Franklin, Marvin Mims Jr. and Lil'Jordan Humphrey.

Philadelphia Eagles cornerback Darius Slay (concussion) exited Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Rams and did not return. The team announced on X that he had been diagnosed with a concussion, therefore making him ineligible to finish Sunday night's contest. Slay finished Week 12 with three tackles and one pass defended. He now has seven days to clear concussion protocol before the Eagles' next game against the Baltimore Ravens. If he can't suit up next week, Isaiah Rodgers should step up in his absence.

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel Sr. came into a Week 12 matchup at the Green Bay Packers in a modest slump, averaging 8.3 half-PPR points over his past three games. The former Gamecock's struggles bottomed out on Sunday, as he finished with one catch on four targets for 21 yards. Much of San Francisco's offensive ineptitude on the day can be explained by starting quarterback Brock Purdy (shoulder) and left tackle Trent Williams (ankle) watching from the sidelines. However, outside of his one catch-and-run and 87-yard kick return nullified by a holding call, Samuel Sr. was part of the problem. With two crucial drops, including one that directly led to a Brandon Allen interception, it's hard to say with a straight face that Samuel Sr.'s fantasy day was a victim of circumstance. In Week 13, things don't get any easier for Samuel Sr. and the Niners as they travel to Buffalo to face the Bills. If San Francisco's injury problems at quarterback and offensive line linger, Samuel Sr. will be hard to trust in fantasy lineups.

New York Giants running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. managed 42 rushing yards on nine carries, including a 16-yard burst, in Sunday's 30-7 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Tracy averaged 4.7 yards per carry and added four receptions for 28 yards, but his fantasy output was marred by a costly fumblethe second straight week he's lost onelimiting him to just seven fantasy points. The Giants' offense was ineffective in the first half, trailing 23-0 and managing only 45 total yards, with Tracy unable to find consistent opportunities. While his efficiency (70 yards total offense) was a bright spot, his ball-security issues and the team's offensive struggles make him RB2 or a flex option heading into Week 13.

The Denver Broncos may have the workings of a frustrating three-man committee backfield after running back Jaleel McLaughlin had seven carries for a team-high 44 rushing yards in the 29-19 win over the division-rival Las Vegas Raiders in Week 12 on Sunday. McLaughlin wasn't able to reel in his only target. Javonte Williams actually led Denver with eight rushing attempts but lost two yards, while McLaughlin was efficient with 6.3 yards per carry. It had appeared that the 24-year-old was relegated to RB3 duties for the Broncos coming into this game behind Williams and rookie Audric Estime, but that's not what transpired in Sin City. The second-year back has only had double-digit carries once all year (back in Week 1) and should remain on the waiver wire in most leagues. If this is a true committee backfield moving forward, all three Broncos backs will be shaky RB3/flex options, at best.

Dynasty | Vikings receiver Jordan Addison had eight catches for 162 yards and a touchdown in a win against Chicago. Dynasty Analysis: The yardage total was a career high for the second year receiver, who also had his second straight game with at least eight targets and one touchdown. It seems evident Sam Darnold is seeing something here and Addison is finally becoming fantasy relevant again. Any "buy low" window has likely closed in dynasty leagues as a result.

Dynasty | Bears quarterback Caleb Williams completed 32-of-47 passes for 340 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions in a loss against Minnesota. Dynasty Analysis: He also led the Bears with 33 rushing yards. Williams nearly led an unbelievable comeback, but the Bears were once again left heartbroken with another loss. Williams hadn't thrown a touchdown pass in a month, so this was a welcome sight for sure. He may not be the dynasty prospect Jayden Daniels has been, but Williams (and his value) seems to be on the rise again.

Dynasty | Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton had eight catches for 97 yards and two touchdowns in a win against the Raiders. Dynasty Analysis: Sutton is white hot at the moment with nearly 50 targets over the past five games. With Bo Nix starting to feel more and more comfortable, Sutton has really come on and today was just the icing on the cake. His dynasty value was sinking rapidly at the start of the season, but the market correction is going to continue this week. Sutton is another solid trade target in leagues where the trade deadline has yet to pass.

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Adonai Mitchell caught one of his three targets for 10 yards in Sunday's 24-6 loss to the Lions. The rookie wideout has a single catch in four of the last five games, with the other game where he caught more (six receptions) coming during Michael Pittman Jr.'s one-week hiatus. As the fourth option in a poor offense, the 22-year-old is a fantasy afterthought unless an injury opens up more opportunities for him. Josh Downs exited with a shoulder injury in this game but was able to return, however, keep an eye on this week's practice reports. If Downs' injury turns out to be more serious, Mitchell could be thrust back into relevance, but until then, he can be safely left to the waiver wire.

New York Giants quarterback Tommy Devito, in his first start of the season after replacing the recently released Daniel Jones, completed 21 of 31 passes for 189 yards without a touchdown or interception in Sunday's 30-7 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. DeVito averaged 6.1 yards per attempt and added 32 rushing yards, but was sacked four times, resulting in a modest 10.76 fantasy points. The Giants' offense struggled significantly, trailing 23-0 at halftime with only 45 total yards, including a mere 31 passing yards. DeVito's performance reflects the team's broader offensive challenges, making him a non-option for fantasy managers moving forward.

Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton's chemistry with rookie quarterback Bo Nix peaked in the Week 12 win over the division-rival Las Vegas Raiders, when he set team highs in targets (10), receptions (eight) and receiving yards (97) while also scoring two touchdowns in the 29-19 win at Allegiant Stadium. Both of Sutton's TD receptions were nifty grabs in the end zone. The 29-year-old pass-catcher is now up to five touchdowns on the year and has three in the last three weeks. As Nix's efficiency and confidence as a passer has improved in his rookie year, Sutton's fantasy value has seen a boost into the WR2 tier. Since a Week 7 donut with zero targets, he has at least 70 receiving yards and a touchdown. Although the Week 13 matchup against the Cleveland Browns isn't the best for fantasy purposes, Sutton should be considered a must-start as he looks to continue his hot stretch.

Philadelphia Eagles TE Dallas Goedert posted four receptions for 19 yards on five targets in Week 12 against the Los Angeles Rams.

Fantasy Spin: Goedert's catch total was nice, but the yardage total was his worst since getting blanked on Oct. 13 in a game he left early due to a hamstring injury. He has 25 or fewer receiving yards in three of his past four outings, so treat him more as a TE2 heading into Week 13 at Baltimore.

Denver Broncos rookie quarterback Bo Nix delivered yet again for his fantasy managers in a strong matchup on the road in Week 12 against the division-rival Las Vegas Raiders in the team's 29-19 victory. Nix went 25-for-42 passing -- his most pass attempts since Week 1 -- for 273 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions. He added just one carry for a gain of five yards and was sacked once for an 11-yard loss. The 24-year-old first-rounder wasn't quite as good as he was in last week's blowout win over the Atlanta Falcons when he tossed four TDs, but fantasy managers aren't really complaining as the Oregon product continues to improve. Nix seems to be improving on a weekly basis and is avoiding turnovers, throwing 11 touchdowns with only one interception in the last five weeks. He is becoming a weekly QB1 option in fantasy, although he will face a challenge against a spirited Browns pass rush in Week 13.

Philadelphia Eagles RB Saquon Barkley rushed 26 times for a career-high 255 yards and two touchdowns in Week 12 against the Los Angeles Rams. He did most of his damage in the second half, with scoring runs of 70 and 72 yards, while adding four receptions for 47 yards on his four targets.

Fantasy Spin: Barkley's 302 scrimmage yards also marked a career best. Barkley and Baltimore's Derrick Henry changed teams in the offseason, and both have changed the narrative on giving big money to running backs. Both players have been fantasy studs. Barkley steams into Week 13 against the Baltimore Ravens in the late window on Sunday in a head-to-head showdown with King Henry.

San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey continued his post-injury slump in a 39-10 loss to the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field on Sunday. Last year's overall RB1 finished with 31 yards and a lost fumble on 11 carries while adding three catches of four targets for 37 yards. The last time a healthy McCaffrey scored so few half-PPR points in a game was way back in Week 2 of 2019 with the Carolina Panthers. Opinions may vary on how much blame to pin on McCaffrey himself -- it's fair to question his football shape after his lengthy absence -- but other circumstances are certainly in play. With career backup Brandon Allen filling in for quarterback Brock Purdy (shoulder), Green Bay was likely emboldened to key in on the running game. All-Pro left tackle Trent Williams (ankle), who is just as important to the Niners' rushing attack as its passing game, was also out. If Purdy and Williams can return in Week 13 at Buffalo, it's safe to flush and forget this one for the most part. But if not, McCaffrey will be at risk for continued struggles.

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Alec Pierce garnered his usual looks on Sunday but turned his four targets into just one catch in the 24-6 loss to the Lions. The one catch was a nice 39-yard grab, and Anthony Richardson missed him badly on a wide-open throw early on in the contest for what would have been a huge gain or even a touchdown. The continued dose of deep shots to the speedy receiver is encouraging, as one of these weeks it could turn into a big day for the 24-year-old, but it is hard to predict when that will be, especially if Richardson doesn't improve his accuracy. Week 13 brings a somewhat favorable matchup against the Patriots, but that contest will be on the road on what will be a chilly day in Foxboro. Nevertheless, Pierce figures to be a boom/bust WR5 again.

Dynasty | Cardinals tight end Trey McBride had 12 catches for 133 yards in a loss against Seattle. Dynasty Analysis: McBride was targeted a whopping 15 times on the day. While he has yet to score a touchdown this season, he now has over 60 catches and nearly 700 yards on the year. In addition, he has now posted at least 100 yards in two of his last four contests. In short, McBride is emerging as the top target in Arizona and dynasty managers should respond accordingly.

From Dynasty League Fantasy

Dynasty | Packers running back Josh Jacobs had 106 rushing yards and three touchdowns in a win against San Francisco. Dynasty Analysis: Jacobs was a one-man wrecking crew and nearly matched his season total of four touchdowns with three on the day, putting him up to seven on the campaign. He has been consistently solid all season and is averaging nearly five yards a carry on the year. Today was another reminder he can carry a fantasy team on any given Sunday. Jacobs' dynasty value should be stable after this performance and he could be a solid late-season trade target for a contender as well.

From Dynasty League Fantasy

Seattle Seahawks QB Geno Smith completed 22 of his 31 passes for 254 yards, a touchdown and an interception in a 16-6 win over the Arizona Cardinals in Week 12.

From TheHuddle

Miami Dolphins running back Raheem Mostert carried the ball two times for five yards and caught his only target for a loss of three yards. This game is further evidence that head coach Mike McDaniels has Mostert in the doghouse in favor of rookie Jaylen Wright. He was out-touched seven to three in favor of Wright. On top of that, he has played fewer snaps than Wright in the last three games. Week 12 also marks the third game in a row where Mostert has had three carries or less. The 2023 touchdown leader is borderline droppable in fantasy football without the touchdown upside. His next opportunity will be on Thanksgiving night against the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field.
