Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff heads into Week 12 against the Indianapolis Colts riding high after his best performance of the season last week. Goff ranks among the league's best in key metrics, leading all quarterbacks in yards per attempt while sitting second in passer rating and fifth in CPOE. The Colts defense has shown improvement recently but remains vulnerable, allowing the ninth-most completions and eighth-most passing yards per game to opposing quarterbacks. While Indy has tightened up since Week 6, Goff's efficiency and the Lions' offensive weapons should keep him in the mix as a solid QB1 option. With Detroit's potent scoring offense averaging 31.6 points per game, Goff is poised to remain productive for fantasy managers again in Week 12.

Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff lit up the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 11, completing 24-of-29 passes (82.8%) for 412 yards and four touchdowns in a dominant 52-6 victory. Goff also added 21 rushing yards on four attempts, rebounding from his five-interception performance in Week 10 with a perfect passer rating against a struggling Jaguars defense. This was by far Goff's best fantasy outing of the season, making him the overall QB1 for the week heading into Sunday night and the No. 3 fantasy scorer overall. Goff will aim to continue his MVP-caliber campaign in Week 12 as the Lions travel to face the Indianapolis Colts, who narrowly defeated the Jets in Week 11.

Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff enters Week 11 with a prime opportunity to rebound against a struggling Jacksonville Jaguars defense. While Goff's fantasy production has been underwhelming this season, finishing under 15 points in five games, this matchup offers a chance for a turnaround. The Jaguars allow the third-most fantasy points to quarterbacks, the third-most passing yards per game (271.9), and the fourth-most passing touchdowns per game (1.9). Despite tossing five interceptions in Week 10, that performance appears to be an outlier. With Jacksonville surrendering 26.4 points per game (sixth-most in the NFL), Goff should have opportunities to exploit their defensive vulnerabilities. While an early blowout could shift Detroit to a run-heavy approach, the Lions' high-scoring offense will likely lean on Goff to set the tone early. Consider him a low-end QB1 with upside this week.

Washington Commanders running back Austin Ekeler saw a season-high in targets last Thursday and could be in store for another strong showing in Week 12 facing the Dallas Cowboys. Even with Brian Robinson Jr. back in action, Ekeler continued to see most of the passing work out of the backfield and served as a reliable check-down option for Jayden Daniels against a tough Philadelphia defense. While the Commanders have a much easier matchup facing the Dallas Cowboys this weekend, Ekeler could still see a heavy dose of targets as he is becoming one of the most reliable options in the Washington passing attack. Facing a weak Dallas defense that has surrendered the 30th-most PPR points to opposing RBs this season makes Ekeler a viable flex option in PPR formats.

Washington Commanders running back Austin Ekeler rushed for just seven yards on two carries during Thursday's loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. He was much more heavily involved in the passing game, catching eight of his nine targets for an additional 89 yards through the air. The veteran running back was the Commanders' leading receiver as quarterback Jayden Daniels threw a heavy amount of short-range passes on Thursday night. The 29-year-old has posted at least 17 fantasy points (PPR) in each of his last three games and should be treated as a strong RB3 option going into Week 12 against the Dallas Cowboys.

Washington Commanders running back Austin Ekeler is expected to revert to the No. 2 spot on the depth chart on Thursday evening but is still a viable flex option in PPR formats while facing the Philadelphia Eagles. Over the past two weeks, Ekeler has operated as the lead option out of the backfield in Washington. During this small stint, he scored three times, averaging 17.7 PPR points per game. However, with Brian Robinson Jr. (hamstring) slated to return, fantasy managers should expect Ekeler to return to his third-down role. During Weeks 1 through 8, Ekeler eclipsed double-digit PPR points in five straight games and caught at least two passes in each contest. With a high implied point total (48.5), fantasy managers could expect this game to open up, which could set the 29-year-old up for several pass-catching opportunities, making him a flex option in PPR formats.

New York Giants wide receiver Wan'Dale Robinson looks to build on his team-leading performance from Week 10, where he caught five passes on eight targets for 51 yards in a narrow overtime loss to the Panthers. Robinson has been a reliable target, amassing 56 receptions on 84 targets this season with 394 receiving yards and two touchdowns, averaging 10.92 fantasy points per game. The matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers offers significant upside, as Tampa ranks 27th against fantasy WRs and has allowed 20 passing touchdowns this season. With the Buccaneers' 30th-ranked pass defense surrendering 264.1 yards per game, Robinson may be a flex option in PPR formats, especially with his consistent volume in the Giants' passing attack.

New York Giants wide receiver Wan'Dale Robinson led the team in receiving yards in Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Carolina Panthers in Munich, Germany, hauling in five catches for 51 yards on eight targets. Robinson averaged a solid 10.2 yards per reception, including a 23-yard catch that showcased he can catch deeper passes. He made a few key first-down catches to keep drives alive, showing his value as a reliable option in the Giants' passing game. While he didn't reach the end zone and finished with 7.6 fantasy points, Robinson's consistent reception totals make him a potential fantasy asset in deeper leagues.

Detroit Lions tight end Sam LaPorta (shoulder) is off the injury report and cleared to return to action on Sunday to face the Indianapolis Colts. The sophomore tight end sat out last weekend due to this injury but will return to his starting role on Sunday. LaPorta has struggled to find consistency throughout the season, as he has scored double-digit PPR points on just three occasions and has seen just 3.6 targets per game. Despite his struggles this season, the Detroit offense has remained one of the league's top units, and fantasy should continue to view him as a top-12 option. This weekend, he should have a great opportunity to bounce back against the Colts, who have allowed the sixth-most PPR points to opposing tight ends this season.

Detroit Lions tight end Sam LaPorta (shoulder) practiced in full for the second straight day this week on Thursday and appears to be on track to playing this Sunday against the Indianapolis Colts in Week 12. LaPorta suffered an AC joint sprain in his shoulder in the Week 10 win over the Houston Texans and was inactive in last Sunday's blowout win over the Jacksonville Jaguars. The 23-year-old appears to have healed nicely in the week he had to rest, and barring a setback on Friday, he should be able to play this Sunday at Lucas Oil Stadium. While LaPorta has mostly disappointed fantasy managers in 2024 after leading all TEs in fantasy points in his rookie season, he'll have an opportunity to produce strong numbers against a Colts defense that has allowed the sixth-most half-PPR points per game to the position this year.

Detroit Lions tight end Sam LaPorta (shoulder) was estimated as a full participant on Wednesday during the team's walkthrough practice. LaPorta suffered an AC joint sprain in the Week 10 win over the Houston Texans that caused him to miss last week's blowout win over the Jacksonville Jaguars. The week off apparently did the second-year TE well, though, and head coach Dan Campbell is optimistic of LaPorta's chances of returning this Sunday to face the Indianapolis Colts at Lucas Oil Stadium. All signs are pointing to the 23-year-old's return this weekend, but fantasy managers should have a backup plan just in case. If he returns, LaPorta will be at worst a low-end TE1 for fantasy managers. He certainly hasn't lived up to his high draft stock after finishing as the TE1 in 2023 as a rookie, and he's currently averaging 7.5 half-PPR points, which ranks 16th among TEs in 2024.

San Francisco 49ers kicker Jake Moody will kick off to the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field on Sunday. Last week, Moody hit his only field goal attempt from 33 yards while making both extra-point attempts. It was a welcome sight one week after missing three of six field goal attempts in Tampa upon returning from an ankle injury. The Packers' defense is ranked 15th in the NFL in yards allowed per game and 10th in points allowed. The weather in Green Bay is expected to be mild, with temperatures in the 40's, 10-mph winds, and no precipitation. San Francisco will be without quarterback Brock Purdy (shoulder), and All-Pro left tackle Trent Williams (ankle) will be a game-time decision. As backup quarterback Brandon Allen takes the ball, the uncertainty surrounding San Francisco's offense coupled with Moody's recent accuracy issues take Moody's outlook down a peg or two. Still, the second-year pro is RotoBaller's fifth-ranked kicker heading into Week 12.

San Francisco 49ers kicker Jake Moody will kickoff to the Seattle Seahawks in a Week 11 home matchup on Sunday. Last week, Moody had fantasy managers pulling their hair out, as they watched the second-year pro miss three consecutive field goals (49, 50, 44) before hitting the game-winner from 44. In 2023, Moody went through a stretch where he missed three of five attempts, including a potential game-winner in Cleveland, which had some in the media speculating about his job security. He would recover though, only missing two the rest of the way. San Francisco is sticking with the 2023 third-rounder once again. Hopefully, Moody can right the ship and demonstrate that last week's misses were a product of rust in his first game back from an ankle injury that took a month to heal. Seattle's defense is in the bottom third of the league, so Moody should get opportunities to put up points. He's a top-5 option in Week 11.

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith is in a great position to succeed against the Arizona Cardinals in Week 12. The Cardinals are allowing 218.5 passing yards per game which is No. 21 in the league. The Seahawks were much more efficient as an offense and displayed balance in Week 11 against the San Francisco 49ers. If the team made substantial changes during their Week 10 bye, then Smith should be able to take advantage of this positive matchup. The Cardinals roll into Seattle hot off a four-game winning streak and will be well-rested after a Week 11 bye. However, the Seahawks' receiving core should be fully healthy with wide receiver DK Metcalf off the injury report. Smith should be able to pass for over 200 yards and deliver a couple of touchdowns. In a week in which six teams are on a bye, Smith deserves to be in fantasy lineups.

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith had a modest day as a passer against the San Francisco 49ers in Week 11. However, Smith had a great afternoon rushing the ball and ran for what would prove to be the game-winning touchdown for the Seahawks. This was a classic November divisional matchup in the NFL. Both defenses showed up and held the opposing offenses to 20 points or less. Smith only threw for 221 yards and an interception, but he was surgical on the Seahawks' final drive of the day. Smith did not have the biggest day from a fantasy perspective, but he was able to deliver QB2 numbers as expected. Smith has now led several game-winning drives for the Seahawks this season. Those drives have seen Smith rack up fantasy points in what would have been otherwise modest days. Even so, Smith continues to be a high-floor quarterback in fantasy whether the Seahawks win or lose. He will look to carry the momentum from this win into an important Week 12 matchup with the Arizona Cardinals.

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith could have an incredible game or he could fall flat on his face in Week 11 against the San Francisco 49ers. The 49ers are No. 10 against opposing quarterbacks in fantasy in 2024. Smith has been inconsistent over his last few games. He was the QB3 in Week 9, but he did not finish higher than QB12 in his three games before that. Additionally, he has been throwing a lot of interceptions. He threw three in his last outing against the Los Angeles Rams. The 49ers have owned the Seahawks over the last several seasons and that seems unlikely to change in Week 11 as the 49ers are hitting their stride. The one hope for Smith is that the Seahawks are coming out of their bye. If they were able to fix some of their issues on offense, then Smith could have a productive game. Additionally, the Seahawks seem poised to get offensive tackle Abraham Lucas (knee) back this week which would be a huge boost to the offensive line and subsequently, Smith's protection.

Washington Commanders tight end Ben Sinnott (illness) was a full participant during Thursday's practice. This is good news after Sinnott was a limited participant on Wednesday due to a minor illness. The fact that he's back to being full in practice means he should be good to go for the Week 12 matchup against the Dallas Cowboys. Sinnott has one reception for 12 yards over his last four games. The Commanders selected Sinnott in the second-round of this year's draft, but the 22-year-old hasn't seen a significant role in the passing game this season. Fantasy managers should hold Sinnott in dynasty formats, but there's little reason to roster him otherwise.

Washington Commanders tight end Ben Sinnott (illness) was a limited participant in their first practice of Week 12. The 22-year-old has been active for every game this season, and while he isn't in danger of missing his first contest just yet, we'll see if he can improve his practice status leading up to the Commanders' home matchup against their division-rival Dallas Cowboys this Sunday. Fellow tight end Zach Ertz (NIR) was tagged with a DNP, but it's apparently just a day of rest for the veteran. The rookie has seen his snap share dwindle over the previous few weeks, logging his lowest total of the season in last weekend's 26-18 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles (9%). Still, he's reeled in all three of his targets in 2024 for 18 yards and a touchdown. If Sinnott can't play, Ertz and John Bates will pick up the slack as the only other active tight ends on the roster.
