Tyler Linderbaum Deemed Questionable For Monday Night
Per Cordell Woodland of 105.7 The Fan Baltimore, Baltimore Ravens center Tyler Linderbaum (back) is officially questionable for Monday night's matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers. The former first-round pick popped up on Baltimore's Friday practice report with a back injury and was listed as a non-participant. He'd improve his practice participation to be limited on Saturday, but his status for Monday Night Football is in question. The 24-year-old has missed just two games since being drafted No. 25 overall in the 2022 NFL Draft. If he can't suit up, Nick Samac will pick up the slack for Baltimore's offensive line.

Jordan Love Throws For Two Scores In Week 12 Win
Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love kept the mistakes to a minimum as he threw two touchdown passes and led the Packers to a dominant 38-10 win at home over the San Francisco 49ers. Love bookended his touchdown passes as he connected with Tucker Kraft from 11 yards out to kick off the game's scoring and then threw the game's final score to Malik Heath in the fourth quarter for a three-yard touchdown. Love also added two yards on his lone rushing attempt. Only needing 23 pass attempts, Love was a little shaky on the efficiency, but Love's services weren't needed as the Packers employed a heavy ground-game approach thanks to Josh Jacobs' three touchdowns. The Packers have a short turnaround as they host Thanksgiving night's contest against the Miami Dolphins, where Love will be a low-end fantasy starter.

De'Von Achane Scores Twice In Win Over Patriots
Miami Dolphins running back De'Von Achane carried the ball 10 times for 32 yards and added three receptions on four targets for 24 yards and two touchdowns in the 34-15 victory over the New England Patriots. Both touchdowns came through the air from 11 and nine yards out. Once again, it was a game where Achane scored 20 PPR points. He has done this now four times in his last five outings. The carries and yardage totals suffered from the game script as Miami threw the ball 40 times, the most attempts they've had in the last five games. Achane continues to be involved in the receiving department, ranking second in receptions and third in receiving yards by running backs. Achane and the Dolphins offense look to keep it rolling in Week 13 when they travel to Lambeau Field to face the Green Bay Packers on Thanksgiving night.

Jonathan Taylor A Non-Factor In Week 12
Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor was held to just 35 scoreless yards on 11 carries in Sunday's 24-6 loss to the Lions, and he was not targeted in the passing game. The former second-round pick hasn't really been involved in the passing game anyway, but with Anthony Richardson being reinserted under center, the mobile quarterback has negatively impacted Taylor's role in the offense. Richardson totaled 61 yards on 10 carries on Sunday, and last week, it was Richardson who scored twice on the ground -- not Taylor. It hasn't helped that the Colts have played the Jets and the Lions, two teams that have been good against the run. Things should get a bit easier next week against the Patriots, but with the reemergence of Richardson's legs and with Taylor a non-factor through the air, the 25-year-old will likely get bounced from the ranks of RB1 status.

Aaron Banks Suffers Concussion In Week 12
According to Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle, San Francisco 49ers guard Aaron Banks (concussion) sustained a concussion in the team's 38-10 loss to the Green Bay Packers in Week 12. It's another blow to a 49ers squad whose injuries continue piling up on both sides of the ball. San Francisco was already down tackle Trent Williams (ankle) for the contest despite the team believing he could play. With a premiere matchup against the Buffalo Bills on tap next Sunday night, the 27-year-old could be in danger of missing the contest if he cannot clear the league's concussion protocol in a timely fashion. Banks had appeared in every game for San Francisco this season, registering just under 96% of the team's snaps. His practice participation this week will be telling of his status for Sunday's road tilt.

Jameson Williams Meets Expectations In Week 12 Victory
Detroit Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams continued to showcase his playmaking ability in the team's 24-6 win over the Indianapolis Colts in Week 12. Williams saw seven targets, hauling in five receptions for 64 yards, and added a four-yard rush. In nine games this season, Williams has posted 60 or more yards in six contests and has delivered five fantasy outputs of 14 or more PPR points. Notably, he has recorded a 20+ yard reception in eight of nine games, solidifying his role as a big-play threat. His consistent involvement makes him a viable option for fantasy managers heading into a matchup against the Chicago Bears in Week 13.

Deonte Banks Due For X-Rays Following Loss To Tampa Bay
New York Giants cornerback Deonte Banks (undisclosed) will receive diagnostic imaging following Sunday's 30-7 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Ryan Dunleavy of the NY Post reported the news. The 23-year-old recorded six tackles in his team's defeat. It's an interesting development as it's unclear when or even what the second-year DB injured. However, he'll apparently require X-rays for whatever it is that's ailing him. Banks is the team's snap leader at cornerback, so if he's forced to miss time, it'd be a blow to a team already having issues. With the Giants' quick turnaround this week in a Thursday afternoon matchup against the Dallas Cowboys on Thanksgiving, he could be in danger of missing the contest depending on the severity of his injury. If he can't go, Adoree' Jackson projects to see an uptick in usage as the next man up.

Sam LaPorta Struggles Again In Week 12 Win
Detroit Lions tight end Sam LaPorta struggled again in the team's 24-6 win over the Indianapolis Colts in Week 12. The second-year tight end caught three of six targets for just 19 yards, continuing a disappointing stretch of performances. LaPorta has surpassed nine fantasy points in only four games this season and has exceeded 50 receiving yards just three times. His limited involvement remains a concern, with only three games featuring four or more receptions. Despite his early promise, LaPorta has been a volatile fantasy option in 2024. He'll aim to turn things around in a Thanksgiving Day showdown against the Chicago Bears in Week 13.

Jared Goff Falls Quiet In Week 12 Despite Lions Win
Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff completed 26-of-36 passes for 269 yards in the team's 24-6 victory over the Indianapolis Colts in Week 12. Despite moving the ball consistently through the air, Goff was held out of the end zone for the first time in nine games, leading to a quieter fantasy outing compared to his massive Week 11 performance. Goff's down weeks can be significant, as he has finished with under 11 fantasy points in four games this season. Still, his role in Detroit's explosive offense and high-scoring tendencies always make him a fantasy threat. Goff will look to rebound in Week 13 against the Chicago Bears.

David Montgomery Delivers But Exits With Injury
Detroit Lions running back David Montgomery made the most of limited action in the Lions' 24-6 victory over the Indianapolis Colts before exiting with a shoulder injury. The veteran back logged eight carries for 37 yards and a touchdown while catching all three of his targets for 36 yards. Despite the shortened outing, Montgomery's performance is good enough for a Top-10 RB finish this week heading into Sunday night. Montgomery has been a reliable red-zone presence for Detroit, scoring a touchdown in nine of 11 games this season. It's also worth noting that he has now recorded 15 or more PPR fantasy points in seven of 11 games His status for the Week 13 Thanksgiving Day matchup against the Chicago Bears will be one to monitor closely but looks optimistic for now.

Jahmyr Gibbs Shines Again Against Colts
Detroit Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs thrived in the Lions' 24-6 victory over the Indianapolis Colts, taking on an expanded workload after David Montgomery exited with a shoulder injury. The dynamic back rushed 21 times for 90 yards and two touchdowns while catching all three of his targets for nine yards. Gibbs has now found the end zone in eight of 11 games this season, establishing himself as one of the league's most consistent fantasy options. Gibbs has scored 16 or more PPR points in eight of 11 games and currently ranks as the RB2 going into Sunday night. With Montgomery's status for Week 13 in question, Gibbs could see an even greater role in an intriguing matchup against the Chicago Bears.

Riley Moss Picks Up MCL Injury In Win Over Raiders
Denver Broncos defensive back Riley Moss (knee) was forced from the team's 29-19 victory over the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 12 and did not return. The second-year DB registered four tackles before exiting the contest late in the first half. After the game, head coach Sean Payton noted that Moss sustained an MCL injury. Parker Gabriel of the Denver Post reports that Moss avoided a worst-case scenario, and there was some thought he could go back into the game. "We'll see where it's at," said Payton, referencing the 24-year-old's status. Heading into Week 12, the Iowa product had appeared in each game this season and led Denver's cornerbacks in snaps played. His status for Week 13's home tilt against the Cleveland Browns is unclear at this time. However, seeing him miss some practice time this week with the ailment wouldn't be shocking.

Amon-Ra St. Brown’s Touchdown Streak Ends Despite Win
Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown's touchdown streak ended in the Lions' 24-6 road win against the Indianapolis Colts in Week 12. The star wideout hauled in six of seven targets for 62 yards, leading the team in receptions for the day. St. Brown has now recorded at least six receptions in each of his last four games. He has also notched 50 or more receiving yards in eight of 11 games this season, further cementing his status as a reliable fantasy WR1. Though his eight-game touchdown streak is over, St. Brown remains a must-start option for fantasy managers. He'll look to bounce back in a favorable Week 13 matchup against the Chicago Bears on Thanksgiving Day.

The score put Dallas up 27-17 with under three minutes to go, although they nearly lost late. Turpin totaled 179 return yards on the day and also caught a pass for eight yards on his lone target. He is off the fantasy radar in most formats, but is an intriguing dart throw in formats that utilize return yardage.

Tolbert was targeted four times, catching two passes for 22 yards and the touchdown. He was fifth on the team in receiving on a day where quarterback Cooper Rush spread the ball around.

Michael Pittman Jr. Leads Colts Receivers In Week 12 Loss
Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. led the Indy receiving corps in Sunday's 24-6 loss to the Lions, tying Josh Downs with a team-high seven targets and turning it into six receptions for 96 yards. No other Colt receiver had more than three catches or 39 yards. It was an encouraging performance on a day where Anthony Richardson completed just 11 passes on 28 attempts. It was the second consecutive week in which the 27-year-old recorded at least seven targets and five catches with Richardson under center. The Colts will take on the Patriots in Week 13 who just allowed Jaylen Waddle and Tyreek Hill to total 192 yards receiving on 13 catches, so Pittman Jr. has a chance to keep the momentum going so long as Richardson keeps feeding him targets.
