Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert will go on the road to take on the Los Angeles Rams in Week 12 on Sunday night. The 29-year-old has finished as a top 12 fantasy option the past two weeks since returning from injury and should see an increased target share with No. 2 wide receiver DeVonta Smith (hamstring) ruled out. The matchup with the Rams is great, as they allow the seventh-most fantasy points per game to tight ends and will have their hands full trying to slow down Saquon Barkley and the Eagles run game. Receivers Jahan Dotson and Johnny Wilson will see their roles increase as well, but they have not shown anything special in 2024 and Goedert is averaging six targets per game in ones he has not left early due to injury. Fire up the veteran with confidence in Week 12.

Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott will go on the road to take on the Los Angeles Rams in Week 12. The veteran has had a rough season for fantasy purposes. After being passed up multiple times this season on fourth down in favor of going for it, the team finally decided to try and take the points often last week against Washington. Elliott proceeded to miss two of four field goals and also missed one of his three extra-point attempts. Playing in Los Angeles is favorable for him, but it will be interesting to see what direction head coach Nick Sirianni will go when in field goal range on fourth down after last week's poor performance. Even with six teams on bye, Elliott remains tough to trust in Week 12.

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Johnny Wilson will go on the road to take on the Los Angeles Rams in Week midnight on Sunday. The rookie has had a quiet 2024 campaign but should see an increase in snaps with star receiver DeVonta Smith (hamstring) ruled out. The matchup against the Rams is exploitable, as they allow the 10th-most fantasy points per game to wide receivers. Jahan Dotson is likely to get the first crack at filling Smith's shoes, but Wilson has the size and jump ball skills to potentially see a couple of end zone targets in this one. Even in a week with six teams on bye, managers will be hard-pressed to flex the 23-year-old into their lineups, but he is worth keeping an eye on heading into Sunday night.

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown will go on the road to take on the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday night. The 27-year-old has had great matchups over the past four weeks, but with the Eagles taking a run-heavy approach, he has failed to find the end zone since Week 7 against the New York Giants. His bad luck could turn around this week, as the Rams allow the 10th-most fantasy points per game to wide receivers this year and fellow receiver DeVonta Smith (hamstring) has been ruled out. Neither Jahan Dotson nor Johnny Wilson have made a real impact this year when given the chance, so expect Brown and tight end Dallas Goedert to see a heavy target share in a great matchup on paper.

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Jahan Dotson will go on the road to face off against the Los Angeles Rams in Week 12. The 24-year-old has been a non-factor for fantasy purposes in 2024 but has the chance to step in as the No. 2 option beside superstar A.J. Brown, as DeVonta Smith (hamstring) has been ruled out. Dotson has just four targets over the past three weeks and is sharing playing time with rookie Johnny Wilson, but with six teams on bye and the matchup against the Rams being great, he will be on the flex radar in Week 12. Wilson should also see his role increase, making both players incredibly risky starts, but Dotson should have a slight edge over the rookie in terms of playing time.

Chicago Bears tight end Cole Kmet is a risky fantasy start in Week 12, as he faces a tough Minnesota Vikings defense and continues to be a secondary option in the Bears' inconsistent offense. While Kmet had a slight uptick in usage following the offensive coordinator change last week, finishing with just three receptions for 42 yards, he remains a volatile fantasy play. The fact that he's no longer splitting tight-end duties with Gerald Everett is a positive, but it hasn't yet translated into consistent fantasy production. Kmet has shown the ability to have spike weeks, but more often than not, he's been a disappointment, especially in tough matchups. The Vikings' defense is one of the stingiest in the league, ranking 4th in points per game allowed and 5th in EPA per pass, making it difficult for any passing game to thrive. With several teams on bye, Kmet could be a desperation streaming option if you need a tight end but expect volatility. He carries significant risk in a matchup that limits his upside.

From RotoBaller

Chicago Bears kicker Cairo Santos is a solid, somewhat unexciting fantasy option in Week 12 as he faces the Minnesota Vikings. Santos' most recent performance was a mixed bagwhile he successfully converted his first two field goals, he had a chance to win the game with a field goal at the buzzer, only to see it get blocked. Whether that missed opportunity will linger in Santos' mind remains to be seen, but he has generally been reliable throughout the season, making him a dependable kicker option. Minnesota's defense has been tough on passing offenses this year, ranking 4th in points per game allowed and 1st in EPA per play, which could mean fewer scoring opportunities for the Bears. Still, Santos has been consistent in terms of accuracy, and with the potential for field goal attempts in a low-scoring game, he's worth considering as a start. While there are likely higher-upside options available, Santos is a steady, if unspectacular, play for Week 12. If you're dealing with bye-week issues or injury concerns, he's a reasonable choice, but don't expect any game-changing performances.

This Sunday, rookie quarterback Caleb Williams presents a high-risk, high-reward fantasy option as he faces the Minnesota Vikings. After a solid performance in Week 11 against Green Bay, Williams completed 23 of 31 passes for 231 yards and added 70 rushing yards; he's looking to build on his momentum. Williams demonstrated improved poise in that game, getting the ball out quicker and evading pressure thanks to a more efficient scheme under the new offensive coordinator. This quicker release helped keep Williams upright against a Packers defense that's no slouch. However, Williams faces a much tougher test in Week 12 against a Vikings defense that blitzes at the second-highest rate in the league and has been tough on quarterbacks all season. Minnesota ranks 4th in points allowed per game and 5th in EPA per pass, making this a difficult matchup for any passer. If you're stuck with a quarterback on a bye or dealing with injuries, Williams could be a potential desperation play, but Minnesota's aggressive defense may cap his ceiling. In one-quarterback leagues, exploring other options is wise unless you're in a deeper format or need a true boom-or-bust gamble.

Chicago Bears running back D'Andre Swift is shaping up to be a risky RB2 option in Week 12 as he faces one of the most formidable run defenses in the NFLthe Minnesota Vikings. Swift had an efficient Week 11 performance, rushing for 71 yards and a touchdown on 14 carries, but big plays have buoyed mainly his fantasy value in recent weeks. With Minnesota's defense ranking 4th in points allowed per game and 1st in EPA per rush, it will be challenging for Swift to replicate those explosive moments on the ground. The Vikings' defense, led by defensive coordinator Brian Flores, has stifled opposing rushing attacks, making it hard to expect significant yardage gains or a multi-touchdown outing. Swift (groin) has been dealing with a minor injury, but he practiced fully on Friday and should be ready for Sunday's game. With many fantasy teams dealing with bye weeks, sitting Swift is difficult, but fantasy managers should temper expectations. He's still a solid flex or low-end RB2 play, but the matchup should give you pause before locking him in as an automatic starter.

Chicago Bears running back Roschon Johnson is a speculative play in Week 12 as he faces a daunting matchup against the Minnesota Vikings' elite run defense. The Bears' backfield rotation continues, making Johnson a potential dart throw for fantasy managers in deeper leagues or those searching for a sleeper. In limited action last week, Johnson showcased his goal-line potential, rushing 10 times for 33 yards and a touchdown, which is encouraging for those hoping he'll see more opportunities in Week 12. With starter D'Andre Swift (groin) limited in practice this week, there's a chance Johnson could see an uptick in touches, though Swift practiced fully on Friday and is expected to play. Johnson's fantasy viability this week largely depends on whether the Bears can get into the red zone and decide to use him in short-yardage situations. The Vikings rank 4th in points allowed per game and 1st in EPA per rush, making it difficult to trust any back in this matchup. For fantasy managers dealing with bye-week fill-ins, Johnson could be a desperation play with touchdown upside. His value hinges on the Bears' ability to push the ball inside the 5-yard line and give him a chance to punch it in.

Chicago Bears wide receiver DJ Moore is a risky WR3 option in Week 12 as he faces a challenging matchup against the Minnesota Vikings. He'll build on his momentum after a solid outing in Week 11 against the Green Bay Packers, where Moore hauled in six receptions for 62 yards. The recent change in offensive coordinator has seen Moore more involved in the quick passing game, a strategy that will be crucial against the Vikings' aggressive defense. Minnesota ranks 4th in points per game allowed and 5th in EPA per pass, making it a tough matchup for any passing game. The Vikings also blitz at one of the highest rates in the NFL, which could pressure quarterback Justin Fields and limit Moore's opportunities for downfield targets. However, with the Bears' new offensive playcalling, there is some hope for upside, significantly if the quick passes help Moore get into space. While Moore is a risky WR3 with a tough matchup, his involvement in the passing game and the potential for volume could still provide a solid floor in PPR formats. Fantasy managers should temper expectations but keep him in flex consideration.

Chicago Bears wide receiver Keenan Allen will be looking to bounce back in Week 12 as he faces a tough matchup against the Minnesota Vikings' secondary. After a frustrating performance in Week 11 against the Green Bay Packerswhere Allen saw eight targets but only caught four passes for 41 yardshe's eager to get back on track. Despite seeing consistent target volume from rookie quarterback Caleb Williams, Allen's fantasy production has been underwhelming this season, and the connection has yet to click fully. The Vikings' defense has been one of the most formidable in the league, ranking 4th in points per game allowed and 5th in EPA per pass. This makes it a difficult matchup for any passing game, including Allen's. To make matters more uncertain, Allen (ankle) was added to the injury report late in the week and is now listed as questionable. Head coach Matt Eberflus said it was a rolled ankle in practice, but they don't believe it's serious. While Allen is not a recommended start this week due to the tough matchup and his injury concern, fantasy managers dealing with bye weeks or injuries might be forced to use him as a desperation flex. Keep a close eye on his status before game time.

Chicago Bears rookie wide receiver Rome Odunze is looking to build on his solid performance in Week 11 as he faces a tough Minnesota Vikings defense in Week 12. Odunze had a productive outing last week, recording 65 receiving yards against the Green Bay Packers. As the Bears' primary big-play threat, he'll be eager to continue his progression and establish himself as a reliable option in this offense. Odunze's ability to make plays downfield could be critical in Week 12, as the Vikings' defense, while challenging, blitzes at one of the highest rates in the NFL. If the Bears' offensive line can give quarterback Caleb Williams enough time, Odunze could see plenty of one-on-one opportunities. However, the Minnesota defense has proven to be one of the toughest matchups in the league, ranking 4th in points per game allowed and 5th in EPA per pass. Despite the challenging matchup, Odunze continues to come into his own and could be a sneaky WR3 with upside in Week 12, especially if he gets some downfield looks. For fantasy managers needing a high-ceiling play, he's a worthy consideration as a flex or WR3 option with big-play potential.

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp had six catches for 106 yards and two touchdowns in the Week 11 win over the New England Patriots. The wideout suffered an ankle injury in the Week 2 loss to the Arizona Cardinals. Fortunately, he was back on the field for the Thursday night meeting with the Vikings back in October. Since then, Kupp has played well, amassing 29 receptions and three trips to the end zone in the last four games. Despite a tough matchup with the Eagles defense on tap for Week 12, Kupp remains a welcome addition to any fantasy lineup.

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Xavier Worthy will face the Carolina Panthers in Week 12. Worthy had one of his more productive games last week in the 21-30 loss to the Buffalo Bills. The rookie receiver was heavily involved in the game plan for the beginning of the game, catching four passes for 61 yards and a touchdown. Worthy did not have another catch for the rest of the game despite his early involvement. Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes publicly stated that he needs to do a better job connecting with Worthy on deep passes since the young receiver is getting open. There will likely be an effort to push the ball downfield to Worthy in this contest since the Panthers are a beatable opponent. The Panthers rank 12th in fantasy points allowed to opposing wide receivers this season, but that is simply because teams do not need to pass against the Panthers to win games. The 21-year-old is ranked WR36 in our RotoBaller half-PPR rankings this week, making him a WR3/flex option in this contest. Fantasy managers dealing with bye weeks should have no issues finding a spot for Worthy in their starting lineups.

Los Angeles Rams running back Blake Corum had plenty of hype entering the 2024-25 campaign, considering head coach Sean McVay made it seem the rookie would have a routine role in the offense. Unfortunately, that hasn't happened, with the 2024 No. 83 overall pick accumulating only 28 carries for 101 yards in 10 games this season. Without a doubt, Kyren Williams is the top option out of the backfield, so unless he goes down with an injury, Corum has no business in any fantasy lineup, including for the Rams' Sunday Night Football clash with the Philadelphia Eagles.

From RotoBaller

Kansas City Chiefs kicker Spencer Shrader will face the Carolina Panthers in Week 12. Shrader was acquired by the team in the wake of Harrison Butker's injury and started as the placekicker for the team in last week's loss. The 25-year-old kicker out of Notre Dame nailed all three extra-point attempts and did not attempt a field goal in Week 11. The Chiefs are favorites in this week's matchup against the Panthers, which bodes well for Shrader's opportunities to score. If the Chiefs dominate the Panthers in this contest, there should be plenty of extra-point attempts and field goals to kick. Shrader will look to continue his streak of made kicks for his new team this week. The Chiefs kicker is ranked as the 11th-best kicker this week, meaning fantasy managers will likely have better options to turn to. That said, Shrader should be a decent bye-week replacement kicker.

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford had a rough start to the 2024-25 campaign. But in all fairness, the signal-caller was without Cooper Kupp and Puka Nacua for a portion of the season. However, with the duo back on the field, Stafford has thrown 10 touchdowns in his last four games. With the Rams still fighting to keep their playoff hopes alive, Los Angeles will host Philadelphia for Sunday Night Football. The Eagles defense has played well all year, allowing only 17.9 points per game, the sixth-best mark in the National Football League. Still, with Joe Burrow, Josh Allen, and Kirk Cousins getting the week off, Stafford deserves some consideration for a spot in any fantasy lineup, even with a tough matchup on tap.

From RotoBaller

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes will take on the Carolina Panthers in Week 12. The 29-year-old is coming off the team's first loss of the season and looking to bounce back. Mahomes threw for 196 yards and three touchdowns in the contest but coughed up the ball with two interceptions. The Chiefs quarterback has underperformed his fantasy expectations this season, but the Panthers will be a good spot for him to right the ship. The Panthers rank 26th in fantasy points allowed to opposing quarterbacks this season, so Mahomes will have one of the most favorable matchups at the position. Mahomes is ranked QB8 in our RotoBaller rankings this week, making him a low-end QB1 option for fantasy. Given his favorable matchup, fantasy managers can feel more confident about starting Mahomes this week.

Los Angeles Rams running back Kyren Williams has had a terrific season. He began the 2024-25 campaign by finding the end zone at least once in the Rams' first seven contests. However, the 24-year-old hasn't scored a touchdown in his last three appearances. Granted, with Puka Nacua and Cooper Kupp missing time this season, Williams had to be more involved. With that in mind, he's due to get back on track at some point. Until then, fantasy managers need to stay patient and keep him starting despite a challenging matchup with the Philadelphia Eagles on the horizon for Week 12.
