Gardner Minshew II Heads To The Locker Room
Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Gardner Minshew II (shoulder) exited Sunday's meeting with the Denver Broncos. The veteran had 230 yards, one touchdown, and one pick in this one, so he's had a decent showing. However, he took a hard hit late in the contest and was assisted back to the locker room. There hasn't been an official injury designation released by the team. Yet, fantasy managers should at least consider him questionable to return, although it's unlikely he'll be back, considering the contest is nearing an end. In the meantime, Desmond Ridder is in to handle things under center.

Kalif Raymond's Foot Injury Could Be Serious
Detroit Lions wide receiver Kalif Raymond (foot) was held without a catch in Sunday's win over the Colts. That type of showing from the 30-year-old isn't surprising. But there is still concern after he exited the contest and didn't return because of a foot injury. While there hasn't been much more information released since Raymond's premature departure, head coach Dan Campbell indicated the wideout's injury is "a little more serious" than the other Lions' players who exited in Week 12. There should be an update soon. However, there's a chance Raymond won't be on the field for Thursday's meeting with NFC North showdown with the Bears.

Josh Jacobs Returns On Sunday
Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs (cramping) returned to Sunday's matchup against the 49ers. Jacobs has had a stellar showing in Week 12, accumulating 99 yards and two scores off 22 touches. Fortunately, there wasn't much concern regarding his return for this one after he exited due to cramping. However, with the Packers up by two scores heading toward the middle of the fourth quarter, Jacobs may not see much work for the remainder of the contest.

Josh Jacobs Uncertain To Return Versus The Niners
Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs (cramping) is questionable to return to Sunday's meeting with the 49ers. The veteran has had a monster showing in Week 12, amassing 99 yards and two touchdowns off 22 carries. Fortunately, it doesn't appear as if things are serious, so there's a chance he'll return. But with the Packers up in the contest, he may not be needed for the rest of the day, which would open the door for Emanuel Wilson to get more work.

Romeo Doubs Ruled Out On Sunday With A Concussion
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Romeo Doubs (concussion) won't return to Sunday's matchup against the 49ers. The wideout was leading the way on the receiving end before going down with a concussion, so he'll finish the day with three catches for 54 yards. With that said, the Packers have a quick turnaround before meeting the Dolphins on Thanksgiving, meaning Doubts may not have enough time to get healthy. But until he's back on the field, Christian Watson and Jayden Reed will likely be the favorite targets of Jordan Love.

Anthony Richardson Comes Up Empty In Week 12 Loss
Indianapolis Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson reverted to his inefficient ways on Sunday in a 24-6 loss to the Lions. A week after completing 66.7% of his passes and accounting for three touchdowns (one pass, two rush), the 22-year-old completed just 11 of 28 pass attempts (39.3%) for 172 yards and no TDs. He added 10 rushes for 61 yards, but no scores there either. On the bright side, the second-year pro did not turn the ball over at all. It's the third time in his last four starts that he's failed to complete more than 11 passes or surpass 175 yards, and the former first-round draft pick has thrown just two TD passes during that time, so managers are relying on rushing TDs which makes him a risky play from week-to-week. Week 13 brings a matchup with the Patriots who just allowed Tua Tagovailoa to shred them for 317 yards and four TDs, but it's hard to envision Richardson having that kind of success.

Jaleel McLaughlin Returns On Sunday
Denver Broncos running back Jaleel McLaughlin (knee) returned to Sunday's meeting with the Raiders. He exited in the first quarter because of a knee injury. Fortunately, it doesn't appear it was anything serious. With that in mind, his return should mean less work for Javonte Williams and Audric Estime, although his presence shouldn't jeopardize the duo's workload much.

Bryce Young Gives Chiefs A Scare, Will Remain The Starter In Week 13
Carolina Panthers quarterback Bryce Young had 263 yards and a touchdown off 21-for-35 passing in Sunday's three-point loss to the Chiefs. He added three carries for 20 yards. The signal-caller has had his share of struggles throughout the 2024-25 campaign. However, Young arguably had his best showing of the season. Head coach Dave Canales remained adamant Young would remain starting for the Week 13 NFC South meeting with the Bucs. Unfortunately, he'll need a few more acceptable performances before fantasy managers consider him a starting option.

Ja'Tavion Sanders Discharged From The Hospital
Carolina Panthers tight end Ja'Tavion Sanders (head/neck) was released from the hospital. He had three catches for 49 yards in the narrow loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. However, the 21-year-old took a scary hit late in the contest and landed on his head, resulting in the rookie getting carted off the field and transported to the hospital. Fortunately, it's sounds like he's doing better than most expected, considering he was hospitalized long. Even better, head coach Dave Canales reported Sanders is moving his extremities. It appears he'll have an uphill climb to get cleared for the Week 13 matchup with the Bucs. But if Sanders doesn't play, Tommy Tremble would likely fill the hole in the lineup.

T.J. Hockenson Gets Hot Late In Overtime Win
Minnesota Vikings tight end T.J. Hockenson brought in seven of nine targets for 114 yards in his team's 30-27 win over their division-rival Chicago Bears. It was a slow start for the sixth-year TE, as he was held to two receptions and 12 yards through the third quarter. However, he came alive in the fourth quarter and overtime, reeling in passes of 20, 29, and 34 yards. That 29-yard reception would help Minnesota seal the game, setting up a John Parker Romo game-winning field goal with just over two minutes remaining in the extra frame. It was an excellent rebound for Hockenson, coming off a two-catch, 13-yard performance in Week 11. He'll again be a solid option next Sunday when the Vikings line up against the Arizona Cardinals in a home tilt.

Jordan Whitehead Suffers A Pec Injury On Sunday
Tampa Bay Buccaneers safety Jordan Whitehead (pectoral) didn't return to Sunday's massive win over the Giants. The veteran had five tackles, including one for a loss. However, he exited the contest because of a pec injury. Of course, the concern in this case would be a tear, which would probably mean surgery. But in the meantime, Whitehead will likely undergo further testing, meaning his status for the Week 13 divisional clash with the Panthers is up in the air. If he can't suit up for that one, Mike Edwards would presumably move up the depth chart.

Jordan Addison Erupts For 162 Yards Vs. Chicago
Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jordan Addison reeled in eight of nine targets for 162 yards and a touchdown in Week 12's 30-27 overtime victory over the Chicago Bears. The second-year wideout was busy in this one, leading his team in catches and receiving yardage while tying TE T.J. Hockenson for the team lead in targets. Addison picked up chunks of yards all afternoon and ripped off two huge plays to help Minnesota take down their division rivals. He hauled in a 45-yard pass late in the first quarter to set up his own 2-yard TD one play later, but he wasn't done there. On the first play of the third quarter, the 22-year-old caught a corner route between two defenders, broke a tackle, and scampered up the sideline for a 69-yard gain. It was a career day for the former USC Trojan -- setting new career highs in receptions and receiving yardage. He'll look to keep the good times rolling next Sunday when Minnesota lines up against the Arizona Cardinals at home.

Austin Ekeler Diagnosed With A Concussion
Washington Commanders running back Austin Ekeler (concussion) didn't return to Sunday's loss to the Dallas Cowboys. There were only seconds left on the clock. However, the game ended with Ekeler exiting due to a concussion. According to head coach Dan Quinn, the veteran will undergo further testing. But with Brian Robinson Jr. (ankle) and Ekeler both banged up in Week 12, there's a chance both players may miss the Week 13 meeting with the Titans. If so, Jeremy McNichols would likely handle most of the work out of the backfield.

Cade Otton Held To One Catch
Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Cade Otton put together a handful of strong performances heading into the Week 12 matchup against the New York Giants. Sadly, fantasy managers who started Otton this week received a dud from him. Otton hauled in one of his three targets for 10 yards in the win over the New York Giants. The assumption is that the return of wide receiver Mike Evans would take away some of the targets from Otton. However, the expectation was that Otton would still be able to do more than a 10-yard performance. Fantasy managers can be hopeful for a bounce back performance from Otton during next week's game against the Carolina Panthers.

Justin Jefferson Falls Flat In Divisional Clash
Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson hauled in 2-of-5 targets for 27 yards in Sunday's 30-27 victory over their division-rival Chicago Bears. Ouch. There's no way of getting around it -- the 25-year-old was a massive disappointment Sunday afternoon, particularly on a day when fellow wideout Jordan Addison and tight end T.J. Hockenson combined for 15 receptions and 276 yards on 18 targets. Jefferson's yardage output, target, and reception total were all season lows, and he put up a stinker for the first time in 2024. It's better than a goose egg -- but not by much. He'll look to bounce back in Week 13 when the Vikings host the visiting Arizona Cardinals.

David Montgomery Says He'll Play Thursday
Detroit Lions running back David Montgomery (shoulder) exited Sunday's win over the Indianapolis Colts. While he had only 37 yards off eight carries, he at least found the end zone. Understandably, fantasy managers are concerned. However, the veteran reported after the game that he will be good to go for Thursday's matchup with the Chicago Bears, adding it was a "smart decision" to rest him after the injury, which suggests he could have returned if needed. With that in mind, players have said things like this before, so fantasy managers should continue to monitor things heading toward the Week 13 NFC North showdown. If Montgomery can't suit up, that will mean even more work for Jahmyr Gibbs.

Mike Evans Snags Five Receptions In Win
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.

Hunter Henry Commands Eight Targets Against Miami
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.

Anthony Bradford Not Expected To Return On Sunday
Seattle Seahawks offensive guard Anthony Bradford (leg) isn't expected to return to the Week 12 matchup versus the Arizona Cardinals. He was eventually carted to the locker room, so it's likely his day is over. Hopefully, the injury isn't anything too serious, which would be a tough blow for a Seahawks offensive line that has had issues protecting Geno Smith this season.

DeMario Douglas Paces Patriots Receivers Again
New England Patriots wide receiver DeMario Douglas converted seven targets into five catches for 62 yards during Sunday's Week 12 loss to the Miami Dolphins. Douglas has continued to be one of the Patriots' most productive receivers in his second NFL season, bringing his season totals to 48 catches, 482 yards, and one touchdown so far this year. He'll remain a very intriguing, volume-based WR3/FLEX option heading into next week's game against the Indianapolis Colts.
