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.

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.

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes completed 23 of 33 pass attempts (70%) for 196 yards and three touchdowns in the 21-30 loss to the Buffalo Bills. Mahomes passed for under 200 yards in this contest but made up for it with three passing scores for the second time this season. Mahomes also threw multiple interceptions for the third time this season, including a game-ending pick in the final minutes of the fourth quarter. The Chiefs quarterback also finished the game with zero rushing yards for the first time this season. Mahomes has continued to be a disappointing fantasy asset, especially in the team's last two games with tough matchups. The veteran quarterback will look to bounce back from the team's first loss next week against the Carolina Panthers, who rank 27th in fantasy points allowed to opposing quarterbacks this season. Mahomes will likely be ranked as a low-end QB1 next week, with one of the most favorable matchups for quarterbacks.

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Jakobi Meyers snagged 10 of his 15 targets for 121 receiving yards in his team's Week 12 loss to the Denver Broncos. He's proven to be a surprisingly good player for how he's perceived by the general public of NFL fans, though he's still stuck on a poor team. The Broncos defense preferred to bracket tight end Brock Bowers, allowing Meyers to enjoy softer coverage. While Denver shuts down most receivers, the former Patriots WR has enjoyed two good games against them now. He'll face a presumably tougher test in Week 13, when he'll face the Kansas City Chiefs and likely draw the attention of elite cornerback Trent McDuffie. It won't help that he may have to catch passes from quarterback Desmond Ridder, since the starter from Week 12, Gardner Minshew II (collarbone), won't play again this season. He's still a must-start in PPR leagues though.

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Jakobi Meyers will face a tough coverage test when his team takes on the divisional-rival Denver Broncos in Week 12. Broncos cornerback Patrick Surtain II has been lockdown this season, though Meyers did just fine in their last matchup in Week 5, catching six of nine targets for 72 yards. He may need to rely on garbage time again to produce well, though, and possibly stay away from Surtain, though that might not happen. The Broncos just dominated the Atlanta Falcons 38-6 in Week 11. The star corner held receiver Drake London to three catches for 61 yards in that game, despite the plethora of garbage time. Meyers is a risky WR3/flex in PPR leagues for this matchup with limited upside.

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Jakobi Meyers caught just four passes on six targets for 28 yards and rushed for an additional 28 yards, netting him 8.8 PPR points in fantasy football on the week as his team fell to the Miami Dolphins 19-34. It was a quieter day than usual for Meyers, and he had less than half the target volume of teammate tight end Brock Bowers. Meyers is the clear WR1 of this team, but he was handled effectively by Dolphins quarterback Jalen Ramsey and his fellow defensive backs. Things won't get any easier in Week 11, when Las Vegas has a date with the Denver Broncos -- cornerback Patrick Surtain II is elite and is licking his chops at a chance to lock down Meyers. He's a risky start next week, as are all WRs that face the Broncos.

New York Giants kicker Graham Gano will look to bounce back in Week 12 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers after a mixed performance in Week 10 against Carolina, where he went 1-for-2 on field goals, including a clutch 42-yard game-tying kick in regulation. Gano, who has played just three games this season due to injury, has made three of four field goal attempts, including a long of 50 yards, for a 75% conversion rate. The Buccaneers' defense, ranked 30th against the pass, could allow the Giants' offense to generate scoring opportunities, giving Gano a chance to capitalize. With the Giants' offense still finding its footing (with Tommy Devito at the helm), Gano is a risky fantasy option.

Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa enters Week 12, coming off his best performance of the season. Miami put up their season high in points in a game this season with their 34-19 victory over the Las Vegas Raiders. The offense has scored 27-plus points in three of their last four games. This week presents a matchup against a New England Patriots unit that ranks 18th in total fantasy points allowed to quarterbacks this season. Tagovailoa has success in his career against New England, going (6-0) with a 92.2 passer rating. In 2024, New England's defense has allowed an average passer rating of 107.7 and has allowed 1,033 yards after the catch. Big plays could be coming this week. Tagovailoa is a great start and comes in as the QB11 for the weekly RotoBaller rankings.

Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa has an excellent matchup in a Week 11 contest against the Las Vegas Raiders. Last week's performance against the Los Angeles Rams left fantasy managers much to be desired. Since returning from a concussion in Week 8, Miami has averaged 25.6 points per game. The Raiders defense allows the eighth-most fantasy points per game to opposing quarterbacks and ranks 26th in pressure rate. This should lead to many clean pockets and time to throw for Tagovailoa. Just in their last two games, Joe Burrow and Patrick Mahomes have thrown seven touchdowns against them. Las Vegas will also be without their top cornerback, Nate Hobbs (ankle), which could spell big trouble for their secondary. He's a solid start in any format and comes in at No. 13 on this week's RotoBaller QB rankings.

Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa completed 20 of 28 passes for 207 yards with one touchdown in their 23-15 win over the Los Angeles Rams. He also threw an interception and lost a fumble. After an impressive five-play 70-yard first drive, the Dolphin's offense struggled for most of the game. The young Rams defensive line constantly pressured Tagovailoa and sacked him three times. Two of the sacks were due to him holding the ball too long instead of throwing it away. This was not a good showing for the offensive line, and with the news of tackle Austin Jackson (knee) landing on IR, it doesn't look to get any better. Tagovailoa and the Miami offense will look to get back on track in Week 11 when they host the Las Vegas Raiders.

Baltimore Ravens running back Derrick Henry cooled off a bit over the last couple of weeks compared to his huge outputs through the first nine weeks. He's gone up against solid defensive units and will try to find some running room against even better ones over the next two weeks. In Week 12, the Ravens take on the Los Angeles Chargers who are the third toughest team against backfields. They only allow 14.6 fantasy points per game to opposing running back groups in half-PPR formats. While Henry remains a must-start, fantasy managers may want to temper expectations in this matchup since he could end up around a low-end RB1.

Baltimore Ravens running back Derrick Henry posted one of his worst weeks of the season in the loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday. The good news is that Henry did find the end zone while accumulating 65 yards on 13 carries. He also registered his third fumble of the season, however, which brought his total to just barely hitting double-digits. Since the offense was kept in check the entire game, the Ravens also had to abandon the run late in the game. Henry's next opportunity to break off some bigger runs will be against the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 12.

Baltimore Ravens running back Derrick Henry has been nothing short of amazing this season and has propelled the offense to new heights. Even though Saquon Barkley is the current rushing leader after Thursday night, Henry has two more touchdowns, a higher yards per attempt average, and sits at RB1 on the season. In Week 11, he'll go up against the Pittsburgh Steelers who give up an average of 19.0 fantasy points per game to opposing backfields in half-PPR formats. They've allowed the fourth-fewest rushing yards in the league and only seven rushing touchdowns all season. Henry still boasts RB1 potential, however, because the Steelers are more stout against the passing game, so the game plan will likely go through the backfield.

New England Patriots tight end Hunter Henry caught five of his eight targets for 44 yards during Sunday's Week 12 loss to the Miami Dolphins. The 29-year-old has been a viable TE1 in fantasy football ever since Drake Maye took over as the team's starting quarterback. Over his last seven games, Henry has totaled 35 catches, 355 yards, and one touchdown, ranking as the overall TE8 (PPR) during that span. The veteran tight end has established himself as a reliable target for Maye and should continue to be treated as a mid-to-low TE1 in most fantasy football leagues, including next week against the Indianapolis Colts.

New England Patriots tight end Hunter Henry has formed a strong rapport with rookie quarterback Drake Maye, which bodes well for the veteran pass-catcher heading into Week 12 against the Miami Dolphins. Henry is averaging five catches, 51.8 receiving yards, 0.2 touchdowns, and 11.2 fantasy points (half-PPR) through Maye's six games as the Patriots starter. He has been the overall TE12 during that six-week stretch, leading the team in catches. This week, Henry faces the Dolphins, who rank near the middle of the league in terms of production allowed to opposing tight ends. However, that number is likely skewed from the four-game stretch for which Tua Tagovailoa was sidelined; during that span, opponents adopted a run-heavy approach against the Dolphins and did not have to develop an overly aggressive passing attack. Looking at recent context, this Miami defense allowed a record-breaking game from Brock Bowers last week; the rookie tallied 13 catches, 126 yards, and one touchdown. Henry isn't necessarily on the same level as Bowers, but the bottom line is that the Dolphins have shown they aren't going to shut down every tight end they face. Henry should be deployed as a low-end TE1 in leagues with 10-plus teams.

New England Patriots tight end Hunter Henry caught six of his nine targets for 63 yards during Sunday's Week 11 loss to the Los Angeles Rams. The veteran has now caught five-plus passes in four of his last five games, totaling 27 catches, 270 yards, and one touchdown during that span. The 29-year-old ranks as a top-10 tight end in fantasy football, enjoying quite the resurgence ever since Drake Maye took over as the team's starting quarterback. He remains a very viable starting option heading into Week 12 against the Miami Dolphins.
