  • NE Safety #2

    ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports the Giants have agreed to terms with Jalen Mills, formerly of the Patriots, to a one-year deal.
    Mills will head to New York to help a Giants’ defense that ranked 27th in the NFL last season. He spent his last three seasons as a Patriot where he collected 45 tackles in 2023. The team hopes Mills can bring some veteran leadership to a young Giants’ secondary.
  • SF Wide Receiver #15

    Jauan Jennings caught 10-of-11 targets for 91 yards and one touchdown in the 49ers’ Week 11 loss to the Seahawks.
    Jennings functioned as the 49ers’ clear-cut passing game alpha, hoarding targets all game long, six of which came on third down. He caught all six and converted four first downs in the process. Jennings’ highlight play occurred on a successful third-and-11 reception in which Jennings dragged four Seahawks defenders past the first-down marker. He is a WR1/2 against the Packers in Week 12.
  • KC Wide Receiver #8
    DeAndre Hopkins caught 3-of-4 targets for 29 yards in the Chiefs’ Week 11 loss to the Bills.
    After going for 8-86-2 in his second game with the Chiefs, Hopkins has totaled just seven receptions for 85 scoreless yards in his last two games. Hopkins’ four targets tied with Travis Kelce and Samaje Perine for the second-most on the team, while Xavier Worthy and Noah Gray tied for the team lead with five targets. The splash games will be sporadic for Hopkins in this offense, which makes him difficult to profile as anything more than a WR3 in Week 12 against the Panthers.
  • KC Wide Receiver #1
    Xavier Worthy caught 4-of-5 targets for 61 yards and a touchdown in the Chiefs’ Week 11 loss to the Bills.
    All of Worthy’s production came in the first half. The Chiefs featured him heavily on their first touchdown drive of the evening, as Worthy caught passes of 31 and 14 yards to set himself up for an eventual 10-yard touchdown. Worthy nearly hauled in another long pass on the following drive, but was unable to get both feet in bounds. Sunday marked Worthy’s biggest game since Week four, and he’s still competing with DeAndre Hopkins for targets. He conservatively projects as a WR3 in Week 12 against the Panthers.
  • SF Quarterback #13
    Brock Purdy completed 21-of-28 passes for 159 yards, one touchdown and one interception and rushed five times for 40 yards and one touchdown in the 49ers’ 17-20, Week 11 loss to the Seahawks.
    The 49ers’ offense played inconsistently at times but Purdy scrambled extremely efficiently and was locked in with Jauan Jennings. Purdy averaged 8.0 yards per carry against the Seahawks and put the 49ers up 7-3 in the first quarter on a diving green zone scramble. He has now forced at least one missed tackle in five straight games. Purdy is a QB1 against the Packers in Week 12.
  • KC Running Back #29
    Kareem Hunt ran 14 times for 60 yards in the Chiefs’ Week 11 loss to the Bills.
    Interestingly, Hunt did not record a catch in this one, much less a target. The veteran running back was limited strictly to the ground game in Sunday’s loss and was bottled up for most of the night outside of a 17-yard run in the fourth quarter. Hunt is expected to turn starting duties back over to Isiah Pacheco in Week 12 when the Chiefs take on the Panthers, meaning his days as a high-volume bell cow are over — for now. Hunt profiles as a fringe RB2/RB3 in a backfield split that’s expected to heavily favor Pacheco.
  • SEA Running Back #26
    Zach Charbonnet rushed four times for three yards and caught 2-of-2 targets for two yards in the Seahawks’ Week 11 win over the 49ers.
    The Seahawks are willing to use Charbonnet in high-value situations but his workloads are insufficient for a standalone role. Charbonnet led Seahawks running backs with nine third-down snaps and was even given the ball on a late four-and-one play, in which his blocker failed to give Charbonnet the necessary protection for him to convert. Charbonnet is a bench stash at this time.
  • BUF Tight End #88
    Dawson Knox caught 4-of-6 targets for 40 yards in the Bills’ Week 11 win over the Chiefs.
    Knox has been here before. The former TE1 of the Bills found himself in a familiar role with Dalton Kincaid (knee) sidelined and made the most of his opportunity. Knox hauled in a long 24-yard pass in the second quarter that helped set up a James Cook touchdown and has now topped 40 receiving yards in three of his last four games. The Bills now head into their Week 12 bye and will return in Week 13 to face the 49ers. Assuming Kincaid is back, Knox won’t have any stand-alone value in that game.
  • BUF Wide Receiver #1
    Curtis Samuel caught 5-of-6 targets for 58 yards and a touchdown in the Bills’ Week 11 win over the Chiefs.
    With Keon Coleman (wrist) out, Samuel has seen increased usage in back-to-back weeks and made the most of his opportunities on Sunday against the Chiefs. Samuel’s longest play was a 21-yard reception in the second quarter, but his biggest play came early in the fourth quarter when he found the end zone on a 12-yard touchdown to put the Bills up 23-14. Samuel’s usage largely hinges on the return of Coleman, who could be back after the team’s Week 12 bye to face the 49ers in Week 13. If Coleman is active, Samuel won’t have any fantasy upside in that game.
  • BUF Wide Receiver #10
    Khalil Shakir caught 8-of-12 targets for 70 yards in the Bills’ Week 11 win over the Chiefs.
    Shakir continues to hog all the targets in a Bills offense that spread the ball around to nine different players in Sunday’s win. He hauled in two key passes on back-to-back touchdown drives late in the second half, with his biggest gain coming on a 22-yard play. Shakir briefly left with a rib injury after taking a hard hit, but returned to action soon after. Whether or not his injury lingers into next week won’t matter as the Bills head into their Week 12 bye. We’ll go ahead and assume he’ll be ready for Week 13 when the Bills return to face the 49ers.
  • SEA Running Back #9
    Kenneth Walker III rushed 14 times for 54 yards and one touchdown and caught 2-of-2 for five yards in the Seahawks’ Week 11 win over the Cardinals.
    Walker turned in his third straight inefficient rushing day but not for a lack of trying. He forced seven missed tackles at a 0.5 per-carry rate. Both figures are his second-best marks of the year. Fantasy managers should expect Walker to produce a high-end RB1 outing against the Cardinals’ pushover run defense in Week 12.
