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.

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.

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 | 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.

From Dynasty League Fantasy

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.

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

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.

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.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Christian Watson had an afternoon to forget despite his team's 38-10 rout over the San Francisco 49ers in Week 12. Watson was targeted three times on the day, with the most notable being an on-target pass from quarterback Jordan Love that bounced off the outstretched hands of Watson where it was a likely touchdown had Watson come down with it. Love tried to get another pass to Watson to atone for that blunder, but it was almost intercepted. Coming off a four-catch, 150-yard effort last week, Watson disappointed fantasy managers and illustrated the "boom-or-bust" nature of his fantasy value. With the Packers staying home to host the Miami Dolphins on Thanksgiving, Watson is a volatile flex option with a sky-high ceiling and a rock-bottom floor for fantasy in Week 13.

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brandon Allen didn't have much to work with during a 38-10 loss to the Packers in Green Bay on Sunday. Filling in for starter Brock Purdy (shoulder), the sixth-year career backup went 17-of-29 for 199 yards, one touchdown, and one interception. Allen was behind the eight ball from the beginning, getting his first start since the 2021 season on the road against a quality defense with future Hall of Fame left tackle Trent Williams (ankle) out. Allen wasn't perfect but made some quality throws, including the three-yard touchdown to tight end George Kittle. San Francisco's receivers didn't do Allen many favors, most notably Deebo Samuel Sr., who conspicuously dropped two passes, including the one that directly caused Allen's only interception. A number of drive-stalling offensive penalties and San Francisco's inability to win in the trenches on run plays didn't help, either. Purdy's status for Week 13 at Buffalo is still up in the air, so Allen could be in line for another start, but won't be recommended in standard leagues.

Green Bay Packers tight end Tucker Kraft found his way back into the good graces of fantasy managers as Kraft got into the end zone in the Packers' 38-10 rout over the San Francisco 49ers. Kraft did not earn a bunch of volume in the Packers' victory, as he caught both of his targets for 26 receiving yards, but his first catch was an 11-yard strike from quarterback Jordan Love to kick off the scoring for the Packers. There hasn't been much target volume to go around for the Packers, so Kraft has been more of a "touchdown-or-bust" tight end rather than an every-week starter. With the Packers hosting the Miami Dolphins on Thanksgiving in Week 13, Kraft is a high-end streaming tight end option for fantasy managers given that all 32 teams are playing next week.

The Green Bay Packers' defense and special teams' unit bounced back from a couple of subpar outings to post their best game in the past six weeks in Week 12. The Packers D/ST forced an interception and corralled a fumble recovery from the hands of 49ers backup quarterback Brandon Allen as well as sacking him twice on the afternoon. The opportunistic Packers' defense also forced a fumble on Christian McCaffrey as Packers cornerback Keisean Nixon punched the ball out and lineman Karl Brooks recovered. The Packers' defense looks to build from their momentum against the Miami Dolphins on Thanksgiving evening. The Packers are a startable defense for fantasy managers even with the short turnaround.

Green Bay Packers kicker Brandon McManus was perfect on all his kicks as the Packers stymied the San Francisco 49ers 38-10 in Week 12. McManus put the exclamation point on six scoring drives with five successful point after attempts and one field goal, a 51-yarder made in the waning seconds of the first quarter. The Packers dominated throughout the game and McManus wasn't needed for a large chunk of the game minus the point-after attempts. His steady leg has earned him quite a bit of trust with the Packers. McManus and the Packers host the Miami Dolphins on Thanksgiving night in Week 13, where McManus will be a low-end starting kicker for fantasy managers looking to capitalize on a Packers' offense that's building momentum.

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Josh Downs was limited to just three catches for 27 yards in Sunday's 24-6 loss to the Lions. Downs, who had been the Colts' most reliable pass catcher over the course of the season, tied Michael Pittman Jr. for a team-high seven targets, but couldn't translate it into production. Richardson completed only 39.3% of his passes (11-for-28), so there wasn't much fantasy goodness to be had and blame should probably be placed on the QB and some untimely penalties rather than on Downs. The 23-year-old also exited briefly due to a shoulder injury but was able to return shortly thereafter. The Patriots pose less of a challenge in Week 13 and Downs will have a good chance to get back on track despite Richardson's deficiencies. Keep an eye on his practice status throughout the week, as the former third-round draft pick likely slots in as a WR3 if healthy.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Jayden Reed was a minor part of the Packers' 38-10 blowout of the San Francisco 49ers in Week 12. Reed has struggled with consistency all season and in Week 12, it was no different as he earned just three targets, catching all three of them for 26 yards. With the targets for the Packers spread out, Reed's three targets tied Christian Watson for second on the team. Despite that, his low production is no doubt souring fantasy managers who thought they would be getting more big plays out of the second-year pro from Michigan State. With a short turnaround to Thanksgiving Night where the Packers host the Miami Dolphins in Week 13, consider Reed a high-end WR3 for fantasy purposes.

Miami Dolphins tight end Jonnu Smith caught nine of 11 targets for 87 yards and a touchdown in their 34-15 win over the New England Patriots. This marks back-to-back games with 80-plus receiving yards and at least one touchdown for the 29-year-old. The touchdown came in the red zone on a short pass in the middle, and he proceeded to bull his way over the goal line from seven yards out. Tua Tagovailoa has looked for him early and often since his return in Week 8. He has received six or more targets in six of his last seven games. With his play as of late, it's safe to say Smith has earned his way into being a weekly TE1 start. The next matchup comes against the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field on Thanksgiving night.
