Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray should be viewed as a high-end QB1 in fantasy football for Week 12. The Cardinals are coming off a bye week and will travel to Seattle to take on the Seahawks in an important divisional matchup. Murray has been playing some of his best football recently, and the Cardinals' offense is operating at one of the highest levels in the NFL. The Seahawks' defense has been inconsistent this season and ranks in the middle of the pack, 19th, against opposing fantasy quarterbacks. The Cardinals are coming off two impressive blowout victories, where Murray's rushing ability wasn't needed to secure the win. However, in what should be a closely contested divisional game, you can expect the Cardinals to give Murray more rushing responsibilities. Fantasy managers should have full confidence in Murray as their starting quarterback this week.

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray was sensational in the Cardinals' 31-6 victory over the New York Jets. Murray's official stat line was 22/24 for 266 passing yards and one passing touchdown while adding 21 rushing yards and two rushing touchdowns. Murray had very few negative plays and operated the Cardinals' offense with elite efficiency, helping to end the game early. Murray and rookie wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. got back on track, connecting for a 9-yard touchdown reception. With the Cardinals' offense firing on all cylinders and a favorable upcoming schedule, Kyler Murray is a must-start for the foreseeable future. However, fantasy managers must look to other options in Week 11, when the Cardinals are on a bye.

The Carolina Panthers have placed running back Miles Sanders (ankle) on injured reserve. The veteran playmaker suffered a significant ankle injury during Week 10 in Germany. He had already been ruled out for Week 12, and now his placement on IR will hold him out for a minimum of four games. Sanders has appeared in 10 games this season, totaling 139 rushing yards, 98 receiving yards, and one touchdown in a backup role behind Chuba Hubbard. Carolina will proceed with Hubbard in the lead-back role and Jonathon Brooks (knee) slated to make his NFL debut as the No. 2 option out of the backfield.

After missing practice all week, Carolina Panthers running back Miles Sanders (ankle) has officially been ruled out for Week 12 against the Kansas City Chiefs. Sanders said he's dealing with a severely sprained ankle that he suffered in the Week 10 loss to the New York Giants in Germany, which means he may not be ready to return for Week 13 to face the division-rival Tampa Bay Buccaneers. His fantasy stock is taking another hit with rookie Jonathon Brooks (knee) fully expected to make his NFL debut this weekend against the Chiefs after recovering from an ACL tear that he suffered in 2023 in his final collegiate season at Texas. Brooks will serve as the change-of-pace back behind starter Chuba Hubbard on Sunday and most likely for the rest of the 2024 season, relegating Sanders to the RB3 role whenever he recovers from his ankle injury.

For the second straight day this week, Carolina Panthers running back Miles Sanders (ankle) was listed as a non-participant at Thursday's practice. Sanders suffered a severely sprained ankle in the Week 10 win over the New York Giants in Germany and is considered week-to-week despite having last week's bye to heal up. He's not expected to play in Week 12 versus the Kansas City Chiefs and will probably be third on the RB depth chart when he does return with rookie Jonathon Brooks (knee) expected to make his NFL debut this Sunday. The 27-year-old was already not much of a fantasy asset this year behind starter Chuba Hubbard, and his fantasy value has taken another hit with the return of Brooks. Sanders belongs on the waiver wire. He's currently rostered in only 1% of Yahoo fantasy leagues.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans made his return to the field on Sunday after missing each of the last three games. Evans posted a nice outing as he hauled in five of his six targets for 68 yards in the win over the New York Giants. The veteran wideout wasn't able to find the end zone, but it was a decent performance from Evans for his first game back in the mix. The 68 yards was a team-high and the five catches were his most since Week 5. Fantasy managers should expect Evans to continue succeeding against the Carolina Panthers in Week 13.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans (hamstring) is officially active in Week 12 to take on the New York Giants on Sunday. Evans suffered a moderate right-hamstring strain in the Week 7 loss to the Baltimore Ravens and will be making his first start since then. He probably could have suited up in the Week 10 loss to the San Francisco 49ers, but the Bucs opted to play it safe and give Evans and another full week to rest during last week's bye. Head coach Todd Bowles hinted that the team could pull the future Hall of Famer from Sunday's game if he isn't feeling quite right, but now that we know Evans is officially, active, he needs to be returned to all starting fantasy lineups as the WR1 in Tampa with Chris Godwin (ankle) out for the year. Evans is averaging 11.8 half-PPR fantasy points per game (21st among receivers). Start him.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans (hamstring) is expected to suit up for Sunday's meeting with the New York Giants. The wideout has battled a hamstring injury, keeping him off the field for the Bucs' previous three contests. Tampa could certainly use him, with the team dropping four-straight games heading into Week 12. But help is likely on the way in the form of Evans, who had 26 catches for 335 yards and six touchdowns before going on the shelf. Without question, fantasy managers can get him back in the starting lineup despite the concern of a lightened workload. Evans' return should also have a positive impact on Baker Mayfield. On the other hand, his presence may not be good news for Cade Otton, who had 30 catches and three touchdowns in his last four appearances.

Los Angeles Chargers kicker Cameron Dicker should have another strong performance in a Week 12 game against the Baltimore Ravens on Monday Night Football. Dicker is coming off a strong performance in Week 11 where he ended up as the overall K3 for the week. He's been a top-15 fantasy kicker each week but one since Week 5, and should once again land in that range in what could be a high-scoring game. Dicker is one of the safer fantasy kickers this season, and he has nice upside most weeks as well.

Los Angeles Chargers kicker Cameron Dicker had an excellent game in a Week 11 win over the Cincinnati Bengals. Dicker attempted two field goals and made them both and also added four extra points on his four tries. Dicker's first field goal came from 19 yards out at the end of the first half, and his second was a 53-yarder in the third quarter. He's remained consistent at one of fantasy football's least reliable positions, and should once again be a top-10 option next week against the Baltimore Ravens.

Los Angeles Chargers kicker Cameron Dicker is a solid option as usual for Week 11 fantasy lineups. The Chargers will face off against the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday Night Football in what could be a high-scoring game, giving Dicker multiple chances to put up points. He's been a top-15 fantasy kicker six times this season and has remained consistent and reliable while adding a little distance to his arsenal. He's a safe top-10 option for Week 11.

According to NFL Media's Ian Rapoport, the Las Vegas Raiders could be in the market to sign quarterback Daniel Jones. The signal-caller, who was recently released by the New York Giants, is expected to clear waivers and hit free agency. The Ravens, Vikings, and 49ers have been a few teams rumored to be interested in his services, although he'd presumably be a backup. But with the Raiders quarterback struggles this season, Jones could find his way under center, even if it's only for a few games. He would also add value moving ahead if the team adds a quarterback in the 2025 NFL Draft. Still, that's assuming Jones signs. Either way, there may be a lot of updates in this scenario in the next few days. For now, he isn't worth a spot on fantasy rosters.

Quarterback Daniel Jones, who is expected to clear waivers and become a free agent on Monday, will likely pursue signing a one-year deal with a contender rather than marketing himself to quarterback-needy teams that have already been eliminated from the playoff hunt, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Specifically, Schefter mentioned the Ravens and Vikings as the two teams most likely to sign him, but he also clarified that there are additional teams in the mix. Regardless of where he signs, it sounds like Jones will be the backup, offering valuable depth in case a starter gets injured.

The New York Giants granted quarterback Daniel Jones' request to be released on Friday, and the sixth-year QB will now be subject to waivers. However, any team claiming him would be responsible for the remaining $11,833,333 he's guaranteed this year, which makes it highly unlikely any team will claim him off waivers. NFL teams interested in signing Jones can do so after 4 pm ET on Monday, although a signing is more likely to happen on Tuesday or Wednesday. The 27-year-old former first-rounder might choose to wait for a quarterback-needy team to emerge later in the season, though. Jones should land on his feet somewhere else eventually, but he won't be guaranteed a starting job after another disappointing season with the G-Men in which he completed 63.3% of his passes for 2,070 yards, eight touchdowns and seven interceptions in 10 starts.
