Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Jordan Whittington has played in all 10 games this season and has served as the primary No. 3 wide receiver behind Puka Nacua and Davante Adams. Whittingon owns a 53.5% snap share and has run 44.7% of the team's routes this season, collecting 13 catches for 130 yards on 18 targets. The Texas product had a prime opportunity to produce in Week 7 against the Jacksonville Jaguars when Puka Nacua missed the game due to an ankle injury, but Whittington was unable to capitalize, catching just two of four targets for nine yards. There was optimism for the 25-year-old to step in and be a potential streaming option that week after he made two spot starts in Weeks 4 and 5 last season and totaled 13 catches for 151 yards on 18 targets. For now, he will continue to operate behind the Rams' two star wideouts and remain off fantasy radars.

New York Jets wide receiver Arian Smith had his lowest snap share since Week 1 in the team's 27-14 loss to the New England Patriots in Week 11. Smith played just 15.8% of the snaps and ran 21.2% of the routes, both significantly lower than his season averages. It seems the rookie wideout has moved into a depth role after the Jets acquired two wide receivers at the trade deadline in John Metchie III and Adonai Mitchell. Smith wasn't a fantasy-relevant option to begin with, catching six of 10 targets for 47 yards in 10 games this season.

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Roman Wilson finished with just one reception for 17 yards on two targets in a Week 11 win over the Cincinnati Bengals. Despite this modest output, Wilson's expanded role was an encouraging development. The second-year pro logged a 57% snap share, his second-highest mark of the season and his highest in games with Calvin Austin III active. Austin, who had previously operated as the team's clear WR2, played on just 29% of offensive snaps. It's unclear if this utilization will stick, but Wilson has looked like the better player since Austin's return from a shoulder injury. Although Wilson still isn't a viable fantasy starter, his usage is worth monitoring as the Steelers head into a Week 12 meeting with the Chicago Bears.

Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Jonnu Smith did not catch either of his two targets in a Week 11 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals. Smith has not had a worthwhile fantasy showing since Week 7, when he last found the end zone. It has been an incredibly disappointing season for the 30-year-old, who was expected to be heavily involved in Pittsburgh's offense after the team traded for him in the offseason. While Smith still has more fantasy points than teammate Darnell Washington, the latter has impressed in recent weeks and could earn a more consistent role moving forward. Smith should still be rostered in dynasty formats, but fantasy managers should look elsewhere for tight end production in all redraft leagues.

Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Darnell Washington logged four receptions for 67 yards on five targets in a 34-12 win over the Cincinnati Bengals. While Washington didn't have an incredibly productive fantasy outing, he made plenty of noise with a massive play in the second quarter that set up a Steelers field goal. Washington caught a short pass from quarterback Aaron Rodgers (wrist) and ran through three defenders to gain 31 yards before stepping out of bounds. He later picked up 17 yards on a throw from backup quarterback Mason Rudolph. It will be hard to trust Pittsburgh's offense against the Chicago Bears in Week 12, especially if Rodgers is unable to play, but Washington has looked great when given opportunities this year and could be worth stashing in deeper fantasy leagues.

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver DK Metcalf turned in yet another disappointing performance in Week 11, securing five of eight targets for 49 yards in a victory over the Cincinnati Bengals. Quarterback Aaron Rodgers (wrist) exited the contest at halftime and is currently considered questionable to play in Week 12 with a fractured left wrist. If Rodgers can't go, Metcalf will be catching passes from Mason Rudolph, who hasn't started a game since Week 17 of last season. Regardless of who is under center, it is becoming increasingly difficult to trust Metcalf, as he has scored fewer than 10 fantasy points in three straight games. On the bright side, Pittsburgh will face the Chicago Bears on Sunday. The Bears have surrendered the fifth-most fantasy points to opposing wideouts, keeping Metcalf in play as a boom-or-bust WR2.

When the Las Vegas Raiders traded away veteran wide receiver Jakobi Meyers at the NFL trade deadline, there was a thought that rookie wideout Jack Bech might see more playing time. However, across the two games that have followed, Bech has recorded just one catch for 19 yards on two targets. The 22-year-old played just nine offensive snaps in the Raiders' 33-16 Week 11 loss to the Dallas Cowboys. For the time being, Bech remains behind Tre Tucker, Tyler Lockett, and Dont'e Thornton Jr. on his team's wide receiver depth chart. Las Vegas also utilizes a lot of two-tight end formations with Brock Bowers and Michael Mayer, which limits the opportunities for its depth wide receivers. Bech maintains some long-term fantasy appeal in dynasty formats, but it does not appear as though the production is going to come for him in 2025.

Across 10 games in 2025, Chicago Bears wide receiver Olamide Zaccheaus has recorded 32 catches for 248 yards and one touchdown on 50 targets. For most of the season to this point, he's played the WR3 role in Chicago alongside wideouts Rome Odunze and DJ Moore. However, Zaccheaus' usage dropped off sharply in the Bears' Week 11 win over the Minnesota Vikings. The 28-year-old recorded zero catches on zero targets and played a season-low 10 offensive snaps. Chicago could be shifting playing time to rookie wideout Luther Burden III, who played 33 offensive snaps against Minnesota. Zaccheaus was not a major factor for fantasy managers before Week 11, but he could now be fading into true fantasy irrelevance. The usage split between Zaccheaus and Burden III is worth monitoring heading into Chicago's Week 12 matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Arizona Cardinals running back Michael Carter recorded a season-high five receptions on seven targets in his team's 41-22 Week 11 loss to the San Francisco 49ers. With Cardinals running back Emari Demercado (ankle) likely to miss the team's Week 12 matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars, Carter could be in line for a sizable role for a second straight week. The 26-year-old is unlikely to factor much on early downs, as Carter has fallen behind Arizona back Bam Knight in the pecking order for carries. However, Carter has recorded at least five targets in three out of six games played for the Cardinals this season. One wrinkle for Carter is the potential return of Trey Benson (knee), who could be returning soon from the knee injury that has kept him on Injured Reserve since Week 4. However, if Benson and Demercado are out in Week 12, Carter could have some deep-league fantasy appeal.

Las Vegas Raiders tight end Michael Mayer is often overlooked due to the presence of his star teammate and fellow tight end Brock Bowers. However, Mayer has maintained a consistent role in his team's passing game even since Bowers returned in Week 9 from a knee injury that forced him to miss multiple games. Over the last three weeks, Mayer has recorded nine catches for 61 yards on 15 targets. While the overall ineptitude of the Raiders' offense limits Mayer's upside, his stable target volume provides a decent floor in PPR fantasy leagues. He's not worth a starting spot in the vast majority of fantasy formats, but Mayer could be a player to monitor in deep leagues.

From RotoBaller

Baltimore Ravens running back Keaton Mitchell had one of his highest usage games of the 2025 season in Week 11, recording 54 scrimmage yards on eight touches against the Cleveland Browns. With Ravens running back Justice Hill (toe) sidelined by a toe injury, Mitchell stepped into the team's RB2 role behind Derrick Henry. If Hill remains out for Baltimore's Week 12 matchup against the New York Jets, Mitchell could see steady playing time on passing downs for the second straight week. Across 19 career games with Baltimore, Mitchell has averaged 6.6 yards per carry and 7.3 yards per touch. He could be worth targeting on the waiver wire for fantasy managers in leagues with 14 or more teams heading into Week 12.

Even with Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid (hamstring) sidelined in Week 11, Bills TE2 Dawson Knox had a modest outing, recording one catch for 23 yards on three targets against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Kincaid did not practice on either Monday or Tuesday heading into Buffalo's Week 12 matchup against the Houston Texans on Thursday night, so Knox could have another chance to be his team's lead tight end. Still, in the two games he's played this season without Kincaid, Knox has recorded two catches for 42 yards and a touchdown on five targets. Expectations for Knox should be limited, but the 29-year-old does have a better chance to find the end zone without Kincaid in the lineup. In the deepest fantasy leagues, Knox could be a low-end streaming option for managers to add off the waiver wire heading into Week 12.

Cleveland Browns tight end Harold Fannin Jr. has been inconsistent during his rookie campaign. To be fair, it's not easy to be a consistent contributor in this Browns offense that has been struggling as a whole. The good news is, Fannin has seen five targets or more in each of his last five games. Last week, Fannin hauled in two of his five targets for 26 yards in the loss to the Baltimore Ravens. The 21-year-old hasn't been productive every week, but is worthy of a look as a deep league option for the upcoming Week 12 matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders.

New York Jets wide receiver Adonai Mitchell made his team debut against the New England Patriots last week. Mitchell was traded to the Jets in the deal that sent defensive back Sauce Gardner to the Indianapolis Colts. Mitchell didn't have a ton of time to learn the playbook, but was immediately heavily involved in the passing attack. Mitchell was targeted six times, but was only able to haul in one of those passes for 10 yards in the loss. The result obviously isn't good, but the six targets is promising for Mitchell. The Jets are without Garrett Wilson (knee), so someone needs to step up for this team. The 23-year-old figures to get a decent amount of chances down the stretch for the Jets. Mitchell could be worth a look as a deep league option as he continues to build chemistry with his new quarterback.

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Parker Washington has seen an increased role in the offense over the last few weeks. Fellow wideout Brian Thomas Jr. (ankle) has been sidelined the last few games, which has led to more playing time for Washington. Sadly, Washington gave fantasy managers a dud this past weekend. He hauled in both his targets for 20 yards in the win over the Los Angeles Chargers. To be fair, Washington didn't likely get many chances due to the fact the Jags were blowing them out. The expectation is that Washington will have a larger role against the Arizona Cardinals this weekend. His role in the offense could be reduced if Thomas gets back on the field. However, Washington is still worth a look as a possible flex option.

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Kaleb Johnson has seen a minimal role in the offense during his rookie season. However, Johnson could see an increased role this week. Lead back Jaylen Warren (ankle) is currently uncertain to suit up against the Chicago Bears in Week 12. If he sits, Kenneth Gainwell figures to take over as the lead back with Johnson presumably being the backup. Last week, Johnson rushed the ball five times for 15 yards in the win over the Cincinnati Bengals. Gainwell is the better option between the two right now, but Johnson might have some deep league appeal if Warren is unable to play.

From RotoBaller

Green Bay Packers running back Chris Brooks could possibly see a larger role on offense this weekend. Lead back Josh Jacobs (knee) is uncertain to suit up for the Week 12 matchup against the Minnesota Vikings. If he sits, Emanuel Wilson is likely to take over as the lead back in Green Bay. That means, Brooks would move up to the primary backup if Jacobs is unavailable. Brooks hasn't played much this season, but that's not surprising for a third string back. He could be worth a look as a desperation flex play if Jacobs is ruled out.

From RotoBaller

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Van Jefferson hauled in his first touchdown of the season during last week's game against the Houston Texans. The veteran wideout has been quiet this season, but was able to make an impact this past weekend. Jefferson hauled in three of his seven targets for 22 yards and a touchdown in the loss. The Titans are banged up at wide receiver which could lead to Jefferson having a bigger role moving forward. Calvin Ridley (leg) has already been placed on the injured reserve, but Chimere Dike (chest) is in danger of sitting out in Week 12. If that happens, Jefferson figures to take on a larger workload. Jefferson could offer some low-end flex appeal for fantasy managers desperate for help.

Buffalo Bills WR Curtis Samuel (neck/elbow) did not practice on Tuesday, Nov. 18.

Fantasy Spin: With Keon Coleman out and Khalil Shakir limited to three targets, Samuel matched his season high of two catches in Week 11 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Even though the Bills' wide receiver room seems to be in flux, Samuel shouldn't factor into any shakeup the club might make.

From TheHuddle

Tennessee Titans tight end Chig Okonkwo led the Titans with 56 receiving yards on three catches (three targets) in last week's 16-13 loss to the Houston Texans. It came in a game in which receivers Calvin Ridley (leg), Chimere Dike (chest), and Elic Ayomanor (hamstring) were all injured. Ridley broke his fibula and will miss the rest of the year, a significant development for the Titans' offense the rest of the way. It's unclear if Dike's and Ayomanor's injuries are serious enough to force them to miss time, but even if they can play this weekend against the Seattle Seahawks, Okonkwo and rookie tight end Gunnar Helm should have higher fantasy ceilings. Okonkwo's 56 yards on Sunday were his highest total since Week 3, and he now has multiple catches in three straight games. It's hard to put too much trust in anyone in Tennessee's offense this year, but with Ridley done for the year, it makes Okonkwo a little more intriguing as a TE2 streamer in fantasy leagues. He's rostered in only 16% of Yahoo leagues.
