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.

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.

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Jalen Tolbert has not had more than four receptions since Week 5 and has also only recorded one touchdown in that span, but the third-year receiver could be back on the fantasy radar on Sunday as the Cowboys take on the Washington Commanders. Wide receiver CeeDee Lamb (back, shoulder) is banged up and could miss the contest, while tight end Jake Ferguson (concussion) is unlikely to play. Brandin Cooks (knee) is trending towards returning, meaning he and Tolbert could be the top two pass catchers for quarterback Cooper Rush on Sunday. Even if Lamb is ruled out, Tolbert remains a deep league dart throw given that it is unclear how the passing volume would shake out.

Dynasty | The New York Giants have released quarterback Daniel Jones. Dynasty Analysis: Well, that'll do it. Jones made a well-received statement yesterday about his time with the Giants, expressing gratitude for the opportunity. He also made it clear he was excited about the next chapter. The Giants were expected to release him in the off-season, but with a contract that nobody would trade for, they decided to just grant him his release now. He'll inevitably clear waivers this week, then be free to sign with any team. Expect him to do that to cover for a team having quarterback issues or needing a veteran backup for the rest of the season. The Raiders, Jaguars, and Cowboys could all have some level of interest if they truly have any desire to compete this season.

From Dynasty League Fantasy

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Cooper Rush has struggled to get the offense moving in his two starts, leaving the door open for quarterback Trey Lance to potentially get some playing time in the coming weeks. Rush did throw for 354 yards on 55 pass attempts last week given the nature of the game, but most of his fantasy production came in garbage time. If Dallas is blown out again like they are projected to be, Rush may cede those late-game snaps to Lance. Rush also may be without his top two pass-catchers, with CeeDee Lamb (back, foot) missing Thursday's practice and Jake Ferguson (concussion) trending towards missing. Dallas takes on Washington on Sunday and even though it is a solid matchup for opposing quarterbacks, Rush should be avoided.

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Adam Thielen (hamstring) and tight end Tommy Tremble (back) will play this weekend against the Kansas City Chiefs, according to Mike Kaye of The Observer. Thielen has been on the injured reserve since suffering a hamstring injury in Week 3 against the Las Vegas Raiders. Tremble has been held out of action for the past two weeks. Fantasy managers should expect Thielen to operate as a full-time option in a young Carolina receiving room. Tremble should be expected to split time with rookie tight end Ja'Tavion Sanders. Theilen could be worth a look as a low-end flex option in deeper formats, as the Panthers will likely be trailing against the Chiefs, while Tremble should be left out of all lineups given his uncertain playing time.UPDATE: Thielen is listed as questionable but is expected to play on Sunday.

Philadelphia Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni said that quarterback Jalen Hurts (ankle) is "good to go" for the Week 12 game against the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday night. Hurts received some extra treatment on his ankle on Wednesday and was listed as limited in practice, but he returned to a full practice session on Thursday and was never expected to be in danger of missing the Week 12 contest. Although he did score his 11th rushing touchdown of the year (leads all QBs) in last Thursday night's win over the division-rival Washington Commanders, Hurts was overshadowed by running back Saquon Barkley and will be looking to bounce back in a plus matchup against LA in primetime. The 26-year-old signal-caller is the QB3 in overall fantasy points through 11 weeks and is a must-start in all fantasy lineups. There's a good chance he'll score another TD on the ground this weekend.
