Quarterbacks
Higher-owned Options
Caleb Williams (Chi, 53%)
Top Targets
Trevor Lawrence (Jax, 41%) — Lawrence suffered a severe AC joint sprain in his left shoulder, which had the Jaguars considering surgery to repair the injury. They bypassed on surgery for now and he’ll look to return to the lineup out of their Week 12 bye — he’s practicing early in the week. He reached 18.1+ FP in four of his last five games and he accounted for multiple TDs in five of his last six games before missing the last two contests. The Jaguars mustered just 13 combined points against the Lions and Vikings with Mac Jones at quarterback, but the Jags hit 23+ points in three straight games with Lawrence. He has a great remaining schedule (Hou, @Ten, NYJ, @LV) if he’s able to return to action. If Lawrence has been dropped, he’s at least worth stashing if you’ve been struggling at the position.
Going Deeper
Drake Maye (NE, 19%) — Jacoby Brissett failed to score more than 10.6 FP in any given game, and Jerod Mayo pulled the plug on the veteran QB and inserted Maye into the lineup starting in Week 6. New England’s #3 overall pick has reached 18.7+ FP in four of his first six full starts. He completed 22/37 passes for 222 yards (6.0 YPA), 1 TD, and 1 INT in a loss to the Dolphins in Week 12, adding 5/26 rushing for 15.5 FP. He’s reached 24+ rushing yards in six of his first seven starts, averaging 4.4 FPG as a runner in that stretch. Maye has given New England’s offense a much higher ceiling and he’s settled in as a mid-QB2 option (Ind, bye, @Ari, @Buf). He has one of the worst O-lines and receiving corps so keep expectations in check for this developing QB, but the 22-year-old QB has already shown he has a bright future.
Jameis Winston (Cle, 15%) — Deshaun Watson’s run as Cleveland’s starting quarterback is finally over after he suffered a season-ending Achilles injury in a loss to the Bengals in Week 7. Winston got the first crack to be Watson’s replacement but the Browns could eventually take a look at Dorian Thompson-Robinson. He’s won two of his four starts after posting 219 scoreless passing yards and 3/7/1 rushing for 15.5 FP in a victory over the Steelers. He’s attempted 41+ passes in three of his first four starts, reaching 24.6+ FP in two of those contests. Winston has provided this passing attack some much-needed juice and he's a mid-QB2 option for as long as he’s in the lineup (@Den, @Pit, KC, @Cin).
Russell Wilson (Pit, 38%) — The Steelers dropped their first game in five tries under Russell Wilson in a loss to the Browns in snow-globe conditions in Week 12. He completed 21/28 passes for 270 yards (9.6 YPA) and 1 TD, adding 3/10 rushing for 14.8 FP. Wilson has reached 14.8+ FP in four of his first five starts but he’s reached 20+ FP just once in this run-heavy attack. Pittsburgh’s downfield passing attack has expanded under Wilson, but Justin Fields has seen a few snaps in the last two games to hurt Russ’ bottom line a bit. Wilson isn’t running any longer with just 24 yards in five starts, which makes him a low-end QB2 option (@Cin, Cle, @Phi, @Bal).
Aaron Rodgers (NYJ, 38%) — New York’s season has spiraled out of control after its latest loss before their Week 12 bye. Rodgers completed 22/29 passes for 184 yards and 2 TDs for 16.1 FP against the Colts. He’s thrown multiple TDs in seven of his last 10 games, but he’s trending in the wrong direction as he’s failed to top 211 passing yards in his last three contests. His upcoming slate isn’t daunting (Sea, @Mia, @Jax, LAR) but he isn’t easy to trust with this passing attack showing little fight.
Derek Carr (NO, 13%) — Carr built up some goodwill with back-to-back 21+ FP performances to open the season, but he failed to top 13.6 FP in his next four starts. He missed three games for an oblique injury and lost Rashid Shaheed (knee, IR) and Chris Olave (concussion, IR). He’s shown some life the last two games with Marquez Valdes-Scantling providing some long TDs, posting 248+ yards, 2 TDs, and 18.7+ FP in back-to-back games against the Browns and Falcons in Weeks 10-11. Carr is in a tough spot to put up consistent fantasy production with MVS locked in as his top WR for the time being, but his schedule (LAR, @NYG, Was, @GB) is at least manageable after their Week 12 bye.
Will Levis (Ten, 9%) — Mason Rudolph led the Titans to their only two victories this season with Levis dealing with a throwing-shoulder injury. The organization decided to turn back to Levis to get one last look at him, and he posted his three best fantasy performances in the last three weeks. He completed 18/24 passes for 278 yards (11.6 YPA), 2 TDs, and 1 INT, adding 8/10 rushing for 18.1 FP in a victory over the Texans. The Titans are paying a lot of money to Calvin Ridley, and Levis is finally starting to click with him since the franchise traded DeAndre Hopkins away. Levis has an extremely friendly fantasy schedule the rest of the way (@Was, Jax, Cin, @Ind) to give him some hope as a low-end QB2.
Cooper Rush (Dal, 5%) and Trey Lance (Dal, 1%) — Dak Prescott suffered a hamstring injury in Week 9, which required season-ending surgery to repair it. Cooper Rush was downright miserable in his first start against the Eagles, but he’s hit 17.4+ FP in his last two starts. He completed 24/32 passes for 247 yards (7.7 YPA) and 2 TDs for 18.0 FP in an upset victory over the Commanders. The Cowboys have passed on taking a look at Lance but his time as a starter could come soon enough. The Cowboys’ season is officially down the drain so they should take a closer look at the 2021 #3 overall pick in the upcoming weeks (NYG, Cin, @Car, TB). Lance posted 29/143 rushing in two full starts at the start of his career in San Francisco, and his legs give him some appeal as an upside QB2 if he draws starts for this floundering franchise.
Tommy DeVito (NYG, 8%) — The Giants turned the page on the Danny Dimes era with the franchise releasing him before Week 12. They bypassed free-agent signee Drew Lock to go with fan-favorite Tommy Cutlets out of their bye. He completed 21/31 passes for scoreless 189 yards (6.1 YPA), adding 7/32 rushing for 10.8 FP in New York’s 7-point effort against the Buccaneers. He led the Giants to a 3-3 record in six starts in the second half of last season, averaging 152.2 passing YPG with 7 TDs and 1 INTs. He added 27.7 rushing YPG in his six starts to rank as the QB30 in Weeks 10-16 with 13.2 FP. Cutlets will at least have Malik Nabers at his disposal this season, and funneling targets to his rookie will give him his best chance at staying fantasy-relevant. He’s impossible to completely trust even as a low-end QB2 in 2-QB/Superflex formats, especially since he’ll have a short leash with Lock waiting to play behind him, but Cutlets at least has a friendly upcoming schedule (@Dal, NO, Bal, @Atl).
Bryce Young (Car, 4%) — Young returned to the starting lineup with Andy Dalton suffering a thumb injury in a traffic accident before Week 8, and he reeled off back-to-back victories over the Saints and Giants before putting a scare into the Chiefs. He posted one of the best games of his young career in Week 12, completing 21/35 passes for 263 yards (7.5 YPA) and 1 TD, adding 3/20 rushing for 16.5 FP. Young is starting to play with some confidence and he’s letting it rip a little more in his second stint as a starter this season. He’s entering a critical stretch of games (TB, @Phi, Dal, Ari) as the Panthers need to decide if they’ll stick with him as the starter for 2025 or if it is time to move on.
Aidan O’Connell (LV, 1%) and Desmond Ridder (LV, 0%) — Gardner Minshew suffered a broken collarbone injury late in Las Vegas’ loss to the Broncos in Week 12, which will force him to miss the rest of this season. The offense will be in the hands of Ridder and/or O’Connell against the Chiefs on Black Friday. Ridder turned in 64 yards on 10 attempts in relief of Minshew, but HC Antonio Pierce told reporters that O’Connell could be activated from the IR this week after missing the last four games for a throwing hand injury. The Raiders will take another look at AOC in the final weeks of the season as soon as he’s healthy enough to play, but he’s just a desperation option in 2-QB/Superflex formats even with a friendly upcoming schedule (@KC, @TB, Atl, Jax).
Running Backs
Higher-owned Options
Jaylen Warren (Pit, 59%), Devin Singletary (NYG, 47%), Alexander Mattison (LV, 49%), Jonathon Brooks (Car, 58%)
Top Targets
Tank Bigsby (Jax, 39%) — Bigsby has emerged as the better runner in Jacksonville’s broken offense over Travis Etienne, but he suffered an ankle injury early in Week 10, which forced him to miss a game before Jacksonville’s Week 12 bye. Bigsby paced Etienne in snap share (57%>29%), carry share (44%>17%), and route share (42.9%>22.9%) in a Week 9 loss, which was their only game together since Week 6. Bigsby brings nothing to the table as a receiver with just 5 targets, but he ranks fourth in explosive run rate (7.4%) and first in YACO/ATT (3.80) among 37 RBs with 75+ carries. The Jaguars have the chance to be competitive during the fantasy postseason (Hou, @Ten, NYJ, @LV, Ten), which could result in some gamescripts that help Bigsby to get to 12+ carries with goal-line opportunities.
Ameer Abdullah (LV, 24%) — Las Vegas’ backfield has been a fantasy wasteland for most of the season, and Alexander Mattison (ankle) and Zamir White (quad) were unable to play in Week 12. That left the backfield primarily in the hands of Abdullah against the Broncos, who turned in 8/28 rushing and 5/37/1 receiving on a 90% snap share for 17.5 FP. It was the second straight week that he’s scored a receiving TD and the consecutive game with 3+ receptions. He could get another game as the top back if Mattison and White are unable to play against the Chiefs on Black Friday. Kansas City has been the toughest matchup for RBs so far and his targets could dry up a bit with Gardner Minshew picking up a shoulder injury but he at least has a path to double-digit touches if Mattison and White are out again.
Jeremy McNichols (Was, 1%) — The Commanders backfield suffered a pair of injuries in Week 12, which could force McNichols to be the top option this week against the Titans. Brian Robinson suffered an ankle injury on his first carry of the game against the Cowboys. He briefly returned to action before the Commanders decided to shut him down in the second half. Austin Ekeler suffered a nasty concussion on a kick return in the final moments, and he seems unlikely to play this week. McNichols registered 3/22 rushing in limited action behind Ekeler, which moved his season rushing totals to 44/217/4. McNichols could be in line to be Washington’s lead back if both B-Rob and Ekeler are unable to play this week, but there’s a chance Robinson can play since he briefly returned to action in Week 12. The Commanders waived Chris Rodriguez before Week 12, but they could re-sign him to play next to McNichols if Robinson and Ekeler can’t play against the Titans in Week 13.
Going Deeper
Roschon Johnson (Chi, 29%) — D’Andre Swift was going down as a bust signing by the Bears through the first three weeks of the season, but he roared back to life since then. The Bears also gave Johnson a bigger role in the backfield and cut out Khalil Herbert starting in Week 4 — they traded him before Week 10. He had a slightly bigger role behind Swift after the team fired OC Shane Waldron before Week 11, scoring 2 goal-line TDs in the last two weeks. He’s scored 6 TDs in the last eight games and Swift is playing through a groin injury, which is something to monitor if they decide to shut him down for a week or two with the Bears starting to fall out of playoff contention.
Gus Edwards (LAC, 17%) — Edwards returned from a four-game absence for an ankle injury, which landed him on the injured reserve. He went back to eating up low-calorie early-down carries, turning in 16/82 rushing in victories over the Bengals and Titans in Weeks 10-11. Edwards needs opportunities from on top of the goal line if he’s going to come through for fantasy, but Hassan Haskins and J.K. Dobbins have scored a pair of goal-line TDs in his first two games back. He’s failed to top 5.9 FP in each of his six games despite reaching double-digit carries three times.
Handcuff Stashes
Zach Charbonnet (Sea, 41%) — Charbonnet has already proven to be one of the best handcuffs when Kenneth Walker missed in Weeks 2-3. Charbs posted 32/127/3 rushing and 8/47 receiving for 43.6 FP against the Dolphins and Patriots during that two-game stretch without KWIII in the lineup.
Blake Corum (LAR, 14%) — Corum jumped ahead of Ronnie Rivers to become Kyren Williams’ top backup, and he’s performed well on his limited opportunities. He’s a valuable handcuff since Sean McVay loves leaning into bell-cow backs, and Williams has notably put the ball on the turf four times in the last four games.
Ray Davis (Buf, 17%) — Davis definitively answered the question of who would lead this backfield if James Cook missed time by posting 20/97 rushing and 3/55 receiving on a 58% snap share against the Jets in Week 6 with Cook out for a toe injury. Davis is running hard and he’d vault into must-play territory if Cook misses time at any point.
Jordan Mason (SF, 43%) — Mason ranked as the RB25 with 13.0 FPG and he had the third-most rushing yards (685) through the first eight weeks of the season before Christian McCaffrey returned to action. He’d be the player to own in this backfield if CMC would miss any time later in the season.
Tyler Allgeier (Atl, 33%) — Allgeier owns a solid role as the #2 RB behind Bijan Robinson, and he’s flashed some standalone value at times for deeper formats. He’s one of the best handcuffs out there if Bijan misses time.
Trey Benson (Ari, 27%) — James Conner is playing well and handling most of the work in Arizona’s promising offense, but he’s missed at least two games in each of his first seven seasons. The Cardinals drafted his eventual successor in Benson at the top of the third round, and he’d be thrust into the lead runner role if Conner missed time.
Braelon Allen (NYJ, 25%) — Allen had some standalone value earlier in the season but he’s mostly been a backup behind Hall. He’s one of the better handcuffs to stash for the second half of the year. New York’s season is off the rails and this dysfunctional franchise could take the opportunity to take a closer look at Allen at the end of the season.
Tyjae Spears (Ten, 40%) — Spears hasn’t reached double-digit FP since before Tennessee’s Week 4 bye, managing just 21 touches in three games since then. He’s missed four contests for a hamstring injury and a concussion, but he’d be the player to own if Tony Pollard’s heavy workload starts to catch up to him.
Cam Akers (Min, 24%) — Akers started his season as one of Joe Mixon’s backups in Houston before the Vikings traded for him in October, and he’s now the top backup to Aaron Jones after he vaulted ahead of Ty Chandler in Week 9. Akers would handle most of the early-down work if Jones misses time and Chandler is likely to factor in during passing situations behind him.
Jaylen Wright (Mia, 7%) — Wright is an injury to De’Von Achane away from being a fantasy-relevant player. He’s a player to stash because the ceiling of this offense has been raised with Tua Tagovailoa returning to the lineup. Wright is starting to emerge ahead of Raheem Mostert in the second half of the season, but he’s yet to do much with his opportunities.
Dameon Pierce (Hou, 2%) — The Texans backfield was a mess with Joe Mixon and Pierce out of the lineup early in the season. They both returned to the lineup in Week 6 and Pierce regained his spot as Mixon’s top backup. Dare Ogunbowale would also mix in after the team traded Cam Akers to the Vikings.
Jerome Ford (Cle, 42%) — Ford has moved into a secondary role in this backfield with Nick Chubb returning to the field, and he’d be the top option once again if Chubb can’t play at some point. The Browns will find themselves in more negative gamescripts down the stretch, which gives Ford a chance to rack up some catches if you’re digging deep for help in a PPR.
Khalil Herbert (Cin, 11%) — Herbert had been rumored to be available since the off-season and Chicago finally cut ties by sending him to Cincinnati to play behind Chase Brown. He’ll step into the spot previously occupied by Zack Moss, who suffered a neck injury that’s likely to keep him out the rest of the season. Herbert is just a handcuff stash for now since he’s yet to register a touch in his first two games with the Bengals.
Justice Hill (Bal, 18%) — Hill is Baltimore’s #2 option behind Derrick Henry and the team’s passing back. He’s given this offense a spark on his limited opportunities, especially as a receiver as a complementary option behind Henry. Hill’s offensive involvement will typically shrink when the Ravens are playing from ahead, but he has low-end standalone value in PPR leagues and he’s the current handcuff behind Henry. Keaton Mitchell has had an extremely limited role in his first two games back but he could take some work away from Hill in future games.
Antonio Gibson (NE, 13%) — Gibson is the top option in New England’s backfield when Rhamondre Stevenson is out of the lineup, but JaMycal Hasty will also work in as we saw in Week 6 when Stevenson missed.
Wide Receivers
Higher-owned Options
Quentin Johnston (LAC, 48%) Romeo Doubs (GB, 50%), Christian Watson (GB, 60%), Tyler Lockett (Sea, 56%), Diontae Johnson (Bal, 59%), Wan’Dale Robinson (NYG, 47%)
Top Targets
None of note.
Going Deeper
Devaughn Vele (Den, 5%) — Bo Nix has been surging in recent weeks and his strong play has elevated the rookie Vele into fantasy relevance with three consecutive games with double-digit FP. He finished with 6/80 receiving on 9 targets (21.4%) for 14.0 FP in a victory over the Raiders in Week 12, which gives him 4+ catches in three straight games. He’s also reached 4+ receptions in 5-of-8 games to start his career if you’re looking for help in PPR formats.
Marquez Valdes-Scantling (NO, 24%) — MVS had 3/31 receiving to his name through his first seven games between the Bills and Saints before he erupted for 3/109/2 receiving in a victory over the Falcons in Week 10. He backed it up with another long TD in a victory over the Browns in Week 11, finishing with 2/87/1 receiving on 4 targets (13.8%) for 16.7 FP. The Saints signed him in late October after the Bills released him, and he’s been elevated into a prominent role with Rashid Shaheed (knee, IR) and Chris Olave (concussion, IR) out of the mix. He’s going to be a volatile fantasy option the rest of the season, but he’s at least going to be on the field a ton if you’re looking for a big-play-or-bust option.
DeMario Douglas (NE, 31%) — Drake Maye’s time as the starting quarterback arrived in Week 6, and he’s given this passing game some much-needed juice. Douglas has posted 4+ catches in each of their five full games together, including 5/62 receiving on 7 targets (18.4%) in a loss to the Dolphins in Week 12. Maye notably peppered slot WR Josh Downs with targets in 2022 while at North Carolina, and Douglas is competing with Hunter Henry to be the rookie’s go-to target.
Dontayvion Wicks (GB, 15%) — Wicks could be elevated into a prominent role against the Dolphins on Thanksgiving Day with Romeo Doubs unlikely to play after suffering a concussion in Green Bay’s victory over the 49ers in Week 12. Wicks turned in just a 25-yard catch on 2 targets while Malik Heath posted 2/15/1 receiving in the 28-point victory. Wicks is difficult to completely trust in a tougher matchup with Jordan Love spreading the rock around and with Matt LaFleur rotating his receivers. He mustered just 2/20 receiving the last time Doubs missed in Week 5 against the Rams, but he at least saw 7 targets and his day could’ve been much better if not for 2 drops.
Keon Coleman (Buf, 44%) — Coleman missed the last two games for a wrist injury, but he’ll eye a return to the lineup against the 49ers out of Buffalo’s bye. He posted just a 21-yard catch on 2 targets the time he played in Week 9, and he dropped a potential 11-yard touchdown against the Dolphins. His drop fell into the hands of a trailing Jalen Ramsey, which prevented him from recording his third straight game with 11+ FP since Amari Cooper joined the team. Coleman owns a 13.6% target share, a 23.7% air yards share, and a 69% route share through nine games. He's a player to stash in case there’s an injury in front of him or if the switch flips on for him in the final weeks with a friendly schedule after Week 13 (SF, @LAR, @Det, NE, NYJ).
Xavier Legette (Car, 27%), Adam Thielen (Car, 25%), and Jalen Coker (Car, 4%) — Legette has been a TD-or-bust option during his rookie campaign, but he’s at least scored 4 times in his last eight games. He failed to score against the Chiefs in Week 12, but he topped 40 receiving yards for the first time since Week 4 with 4/56 receiving on 6 targets (17.1%). Brett Whitefield compared Legette to A.J. Brown in the pre-draft process as a throwback height/weight/speed X-receiver prototype. Coker, a UDFA out of Holy Cross, is another rookie to potentially pick up in deeper formats. He reached 30+ yards in five of his last six games but he missed Week 12 with a quad injury. He could be squeezed moving forward with Thielen finally returning to the lineup in Week 12 after missing seven games for a hamstring injury. Thielen posted 3/57 receiving on 4 targets (11.5%) in the loss to the Chiefs. Bryce Young has played better since returning to the starting lineup, which gives these Panthers WRs a chance to be fantasy-relevant down the stretch. On the flip side, David Moore played well with 6/81/1 receiving in Week 12, which could add another player to this receiver rotation.
Rashod Bateman (Bal, 32%) — Bateman has remained ahead of Diontae Johnson in their first three weeks together and it appears that it will remain that way moving forward. Bateman posted 2/30 receiving on 5 targets (15.1%) on an 86% route share against the Steelers in Week 11, while Diontae failed to catch each of his targets on a 17% route share. Bateman has reached 11.1+ FP in five of his last nine games with 4 TDs in that span, and he ranked 12th in ASS (.167) heading into Week 11. Johnson will have a bigger role in the offense moving forward, but Bateman should remain ahead of him behind Zay Flowers in the passing-game pecking order.
Nick Westbrook-Ikhine (Ten, 12%) — Westbrook-Ikhine has scored TDs in six of his last seven games despite seeing just 30 targets (20% TD rate) in that span. He scored on a 38-yard pass from Will Levis against the Texans in Week 12, which powered him to 2/48/1 receiving on 5 targets (20%) for 12.8 FP. NWI is bound to come back to earth soon but he’s running hot right now if you want to ride the hot hand against the Commanders this week.
Noah Brown (Was, 10%) — Brown has emerged as the #2 WR in Washington’s offense behind Terry McLaurin, which has resulted in three performances with 11+ FP in his last five games. He paced the Commanders in targets (10, 26.3%) in their Week 12 loss to the Cowboys, finishing with 6/71 receiving for 13.1 FP. Brown has 6+ targets and 3+ receptions in five of his last seven games if you’re digging deep for help in PPR formats.
Elijah Moore (Cle, 12%) — Moore has quietly been an active piece of Cleveland’s passing attack since the team switched quarterbacks and traded away Amari Cooper. He came up small in wintry conditions against the Steelers, turning in just 3/21 receiving on 5 targets (18.5%). He’s seen 40 targets over the last five games in which Jameis Winston has appeared, which works out to 8.0 targets per game. Moore has some fantasy life for as long as Winston remains at quarterback, but the Browns could take a look at Dorian Thompson-Robinson at some point. He’d get a small boost next week if Cedric Tillman (concussion) is unable to play against the Broncos, which could result in Patrick Surtain shadowing Jerry Jeudy.
Alec Pierce (Ind, 21%) and Adonai Mitchell (Ind, 6%) — Michael Pittman is laboring through a back injury and the team could eventually shut him down if they continue to fall out of playoff contention. Josh Downs (shoulder) and Ashton Dulin (ankle) each left Week 12 early with injuries and there’s a chance they could rest next week with Indy’s bye looming in Week 14 — Ian Rapoport reported that Downs is week to week with his injury. Pierce mustered just a 39-yard reception on 4 targets (14.3%) and Mitchell hauled in a 10-yard reception on 3 targets (10.7%) in Indy’s loss to the Lions in Week 12. Indy’s WRs are more volatile with Anthony Richardson the rest of the way, but the second-year QB at least has taken a small step forward in his return to the lineup.
Tight Ends
Higher-owned Options
Will Dissly (LAC, 50%), Pat Freiermuth (Pit, 53%), Cole Kmet (Chi, 48%)
Top Targets
Hunter Henry (NE, 48%) — Henry has a pulse again with the Patriots making the switch to the third overall pick Drake Maye. He previously topped 6 FP just once in his first five games playing with Jacoby Brissett to open the season, but he’s hit 9.4+ FP and 41+ yards in six of his first seven games with Maye as the starter. He turned in 5/44 receiving on 8 targets (21%) in a loss to the Dolphins in Week 12. Henry is still playing in one of the NFL’s worst offenses, but the passing game at least has a higher ceiling with the talented Maye at the trigger. It doesn’t hurt that the passing game runs through Henry most weeks.
Going Deeper
Zach Ertz (Was, 48%) — Ertz is still hanging around at 34 years old, and his boy Kliff Kingsbury is still using him as the #1 TE. He’s come through with late production the last two weeks to hit 15.8+ FP, including 6/38/1 receiving on 8 targets (21.1%) in a loss to the Cowboys in Week 12. Ertz is Jayden Daniels’ safety valve, which has helped him to hit 3+ catches in 10-of-12 games and 4+ catches in six of his last seven contests.
Luke Schoonmaker (Dal, 11%) — Jake Ferguson suffered a concussion in the first quarter of Dallas’ loss to the Texans in Week 11 on Monday Night Football, which opened the door for the second-year TE Schoonmaker to rack up targets. He finished with a career-high 10 targets (17.9%) for 6/56 receiving and 11.6 FP on a 63% snap share. Ferguson logged three straight DNPs before missing Week 12, and he could miss another game with the Cowboys playing on Thanksgiving Day. Schoonmaker came through for those who streamed him against the Commanders, posting 3/55/1 receiving on 4 targets (12.5%) for 14.5 FP. Ferguson missed Week 2 with a knee injury and Schoonmaker caught all 6 of his targets for 43 yards, which means the second-year TE has hit double-digit FP in all three games that Ferguson has missed.
Noah Gray (KC, 4%) — Gray has scored 4 TDs in the last two games after scoring 4 TDs in his first 59 career games. He caught all 4 targets for 66 yards and 2 TDs against the Panthers in Week 12, which gives him 8/89/4 receiving in his last two games. Gray has a chance to keep his momentum going in one of fantasy’s best matchups for TEs against the Raiders this week.
Isaiah Likely (Bal, 26%) — Likely returned to the lineup in Week 11 after missing a game for a hamstring injury, and he turned in 4/75 receiving on 5 targets (15.2%) and a 51% route share. He reached double-digit FP three times in 10 appearances as the second option at TE behind Mark Andrews, and he’ll continue to be a boom-or-bust fantasy unless Andrews misses time in the final weeks of the season.
Theo Johnson (NYG, 2%) — Johnson, a fourth-round pick, is starting to make some noise in the back half of his rookie campaign. He posted 3/39 receiving on 6 targets (18.8%) in his first action with Tommy DeVito in a Week 12 loss to the Buccaneers. The Penn State product has reached 3+ catches in six of his last seven games. He has a friendly upcoming fantasy schedule if you’re digging deep for help at the position.
