Kansas City Chiefs tight end Noah Gray caught four passes for 66 yards and two touchdowns in the 30-27 win over the Carolina Panthers. Gray has caught four passes and two touchdowns in the past two games. With defenses focused on Travis Kelce, DeAndre Hopkins, and Xavier Worthy, Gray has found himself open for Patrick Mahomes. The 25-year-old has been a valuable safety outlet for Mahomes lately, but this production level is far from sustainable. Gray will try his best to score again next week against the Las Vegas Raiders. The Raiders rank 32nd in fantasy points allowed to opposing tight ends this season, making them the easiest matchup for Gray to perform against. Despite his recent scoring success, Gray is not a significant option in the offense yet and is best left on the waiver wire.

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Xavier Worthy reeled in four catches for 46 yards in the 30-27 win over the Carolina Panthers. Before Week 11, Worthy had not surpassed 45 receiving yards in a game since Week 4. The rookie receiver has now accomplished that feat in back-to-back games. Worthy appears to be carving out a more consistent role in the Kansas City passing attack, and that is encouraging heading into the team's Black Friday matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders. The Raiders rank seventh in fantasy points allowed to opposing wide receivers this season, but Courtland Sutton just had a massive performance against the Vegas secondary in Week 12. It will be interesting to see if this baseline production continues next week. That said, fantasy managers should be encouraged by Worthy's production lately and know that the big plays could be coming soon.

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins caught five passes for 35 yards and a touchdown in the 30-27 win over the Carolina Panthers. Hopkins finished second on the team in catches and tied for second in targets in this contest. The 32-year-old averaged just seven yards per catch, meaning he was utilized closer to the line of scrimmage. Hopkins will look to improve his stat line next week against the Las Vegas Raiders, who rank seventh in fantasy points allowed to opposing wide receivers this season. Despite being seventh in points allowed, the Las Vegas defense just gave up 97 yards and two touchdowns to Courtland Sutton in Week 12. Fantasy managers should be excited to see what kind of performance Hopkins will put up on Black Friday, especially with Patrick Mahomes playing better lately.

Kansas City Chiefs running back Kareem Hunt had 16 carries for 68 yards in the team's 30-27 win over the Carolina Panthers. Despite facing one of the easiest matchups for running backs, Hunt managed under 70 rushing yards and zero touchdowns in this contest. This game may have been Hunt's last with zero competition out of the backfield since Isiah Pacheco will likely return in Week 13. Nevertheless, the Chiefs play on Black Friday against the Las Vegas Raiders, who rank 26th in fantasy points allowed to opposing running backs this season. Hunt could still be involved out of the backfield if the Chiefs decide to lighten Pacheco's workload in his first game back from a broken leg. Fantasy managers should still find a way to get Hunt into their lineups but temper expectations with Pacheco returning.

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce caught six passes for 62 yards in the 30-27 win over the Carolina Panthers. Kelce paced the team in targets and catches in this close victory but took a backseat to the team's other tight end. Noah Gray finished the game with two touchdowns and the most receiving yards on the team. Despite not scoring in this contest, Kelce should still be viewed as a top-tier tight end option heading into the team's Black Friday matchup with the Las Vegas Raiders. The Raiders rank 32nd in fantasy points allowed to opposing tight ends this season, meaning Kelce will have the most favorable matchup for tight ends next week. Fantasy managers should be content with this performance and expect a more dominant game next week.

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes completed 27 of 37 pass attempts (73%) for 269 yards and three touchdowns in the 30-27 win over the Carolina Panthers. The 29-year-old also rushed five times for 60 yards in this game. Mahomes had by far his best game of the season in this week's contest despite being heavy favorites going into the matchup. The Panthers offense kept pace with the Kansas City offense until the end of the game. The Chiefs eventually won the game on a last-second field goal, but the Panthers tied the game with under two minutes in the fourth quarter. The Chiefs quarterback will look to keep this momentum rolling into their Black Friday matchup with the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 13. The Raiders rank 25th in fantasy points allowed to opposing quarterbacks this season, meaning Mahomes will have a favorable matchup next Friday. Fantasy managers should be encouraged by this performance and feel more confident about starting him.

Carolina Panthers wide receiver David Moore caught six of 10 targets for 81 yards and a touchdown in Carolina's narrow 30-27 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 12. One of those six catches was an impressive one-yard touchdown grab with a defender draped on him. This breakout performance had been building for Moore, who had played over 80% of Carolina's offensive snaps in the prior three games. With rookie wideout Jalen Coker (quadricep) out for Sunday's matchup, Moore's opportunity grew even more significant. Looking forward to Week 13 and beyond, this performance puts Moore's name in the hat as a potential flex option. Still, many fantasy managers may want another week of consistency before adding or picking him for the Week 13 matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Carolina Panthers running back Chuba Hubbard rushed for 58 yards on 16 attempts and a touchdown while catching one of five targets for two yards in Sunday's 30-27 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. With under two minutes to go in the fourth quarter, Hubbard punched in a one-yard touchdown and a subsequent two-point rush to tie the game at 27 against the NFL-best Kansas City Chiefs. While Kansas City was the eventual victor, Hubbard carrying the team's weight on his back in the game's biggest moment is a testament to his season. Following Sunday's slate, he is fifth in the NFL in rushing yards. Fantasy-wise, the late touchdown was crucial to a solid performance, as Hubbard's 58 rushing yards was his lowest since Week 8. Carolina will take on Tampa Bay next week in a divisional matchup.

San Francisco 49ers rookie wide receiver Ricky Pearsall was a non-factor during a 38-10 loss to the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field on Sunday. Despite a healthy snap count, Pearsall was not targeted. His only touches came as a punt returner, where he was filling in for fellow rookie Jacob Cowing (concussion). In the third quarter, Pearsall limped off the field after getting rolled up on but was back on the field for the next series. A few weeks ago Pearsall appeared to be building some momentum, demonstrating escalating involvement which peaked with a 15.3 half-PPR performance in Week 10 at Tampa Bay. But in the two games since then, he has zero combined receptions and just two targets. Pearsall has a bright future but as long as Jauan Jennings is healthy, Pearsall figures to be untrustable for fantasy managers fighting for a 2024 playoff berth. His next chance to get involved will be a Week 13 matchup versus the Buffalo Bills on Sunday Night Football.

Las Vegas Raiders kicker Daniel Carlson knocked through field goals of 34, 34, 53, and 22 yards and made his only extra point attempt in his team's 19-29 loss to the Denver Broncos in Week 12. He's still clearly an elite player at his position. He scored 15 fantasy points in fantasy football leagues with typical kicker scoring rules. He's now hit 91.7% of his field goal attempts this season and has yet to miss an extra point. There's not much more Las Vegas could ask of their placekicker -- he should ask them to get the team into scoring range more consistently. It's tough to predict kicker scoring, but the offense could struggle to move the ball against the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 13, especially if quarterback Desmond Ridder gets the start with Gardner Minshew II (collarbone) out for the season and Aidan O'Connell (thumb) still on injured reserve. Carlson is a play only in very deep leagues next week.
