Kyle Monangai scores third straight TD, sees increased workload.

AutoDraft Pro AI

Chicago Bears RB Kyle Monangai rushed 12 times for 48 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 31-28 win over the Steelers. He recorded a two-yard touchdown run early in the fourth quarter, marking his third consecutive game with a score. Monangai's increased workload stemmed from backfield mate D'Andre Swift's limited 15 yards on eight carries and a lost fumble. Monangai logged double-digit carries for the third time in four games, suggesting a continued significant role alongside Swift.

Xavier Worthy sees increased targets, best yardage since Week 8.

AutoDraft Pro AI

Kansas City Chiefs WR Xavier Worthy caught four of eight targets for 59 yards in Sunday's 23-20 overtime win over the Colts. This marked his best receptions and yardage totals since Week 8, and his highest target volume since Week 5. The second-year speedster has gone five straight games without getting into the end zone, accumulating an 18-195-0 line on 31 targets over that span. He faces the Cowboys in Week 13.

Travis Kelce records four catches, lowest yardage since Week 3.

AutoDraft Pro AI

Kansas City Chiefs TE Travis Kelce caught four of six targets for 43 yards in Sunday's 23-20 overtime win over Indianapolis. This yardage total was his lowest since Week 3. Despite the low yardage, Kelce recorded at least four receptions for the fourth straight game, accumulating a 23-299-2 line on 32 targets over that stretch. The 36-year-old veteran remains a key part of the Chiefs' passing game and could be busier in Week 13 against the Cowboys.

Rashee Rice explodes for 141 yards, season-high targets.

AutoDraft Pro AI

Kansas City Chiefs WR Rashee Rice caught eight of 12 targets for 141 yards in Sunday's 23-20 overtime win over the Colts, also adding a two-point conversion on a pass from Patrick Mahomes. His 12 targets were a season high, and this performance marked the first 100-yard receiving game by a Kansas City wideout this season. Since his belated season debut, Rice has accumulated a 34-394-3 line on 47 targets through five games, along with a fourth score on the ground. He carries significant momentum into Week 13 against the Cowboys.

Mahomes throws for season-high 352 yards, zero TDs in OT win.

AutoDraft Pro AI

Kansas City Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes completed 29 of 46 passes for a season-high 352 yards, zero touchdowns, and one interception in Sunday's 23-20 overtime win over the Colts. He also added 30 rushing yards on four carries and threw a two-point conversion. Mahomes led a fourth-quarter comeback from a 20-9 deficit, but Kareem Hunt scored the Chiefs' only touchdown, and Harrison Butker booted five field goals. Mahomes has a concerning 1:3 TD:INT ratio over his last three games. He'll likely need to be more productive in Week 13 against the Cowboys.

Jameis Winston Delivers Big Fantasy Day with 366 Yards, 2 TDs

AutoDraft Pro AI

Jameis Winston completed 18 of 36 passes for 366 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception in the New York Giants' loss to the Lions. He connected with Wan'Dale Robinson for a 39-yard flea flicker touchdown and added a 33-yard catch-and-run receiving touchdown in the fourth quarter. The quarterback also contributed 13 rushing yards on four carries.

Micah Parsons achieves fifth straight 10-sack season with two sacks.

AutoDraft Pro AI

Green Bay Packers LB Micah Parsons recorded two sacks in Sunday's 23-6 win over the Vikings, reaching his "minimum" 10 sacks for the fifth straight season. This accomplishment means Parsons has hit the 10-sack mark in every year he's been in the NFL.

John Metchie Leads Jets in Receiving, Scores Second Straight TD

AutoDraft Pro AI

John Metchie made his second consecutive start in Week 12 against the Ravens, leading the New York Jets in both catches (6) and receiving yards (65). He also scored a touchdown for the second consecutive game, despite the Jets' 23-10 loss. Metchie's recent performance is giving fantasy football fans strong reasons to consider adding him, showcasing his growing impact on the team's offense.

Tyrod Taylor throws TD, 222 yards; likely to start Week 13.

AutoDraft Pro AI

New York Jets QB Tyrod Taylor completed 17 of 28 pass attempts for 222 yards, one touchdown, and one interception in Sunday's 23-10 loss to the Ravens, also rushing five times for 19 yards. Making his second start of the season due to a coach's decision, Taylor connected with John Metchie for a 13-yard touchdown. The Jets' passing game was noticeably more effective with Taylor after Justin Fields threw for 116 yards or fewer in four of his last five starts. While the quarterback situation remains fluid, Taylor likely cleared the low bar needed to earn another start in Week 13 against the Falcons.

Aaron Rodgers expected to return as Steelers' Week 13 starter.

AutoDraft Pro AI

Pittsburgh Steelers coach Mike Tomlin expects Aaron Rodgers to be back as the team's starting quarterback for next Sunday's Week 13 game against the Buffalo Bills.

Jordan Mason Leads Vikings in Rushing with 42 Yards on Eight Carries

AutoDraft Pro AI

Jordan Mason rushed eight times for 42 yards, leading the Minnesota Vikings in rushing, during Sunday's 23-6 loss to the Packers. A significant portion of his production came from a game-long 22-yard scamper. Mason finished the afternoon with just one fewer carry than backfield mate Aaron Jones. He should continue operating in a relatively robust role on the ground in a Week 13 road matchup against the Seahawks, although his minuscule participation in the passing game does cap his overall upside and limits his fantasy potential.

Kenneth Gainwell Amasses 122 Scrimmage Yards, Paces Steelers in Receptions

AutoDraft Pro AI

Kenneth Gainwell tallied 122 yards from scrimmage in Sunday's 31-28 loss to the Bears. He rushed 10 times for 92 yards, including a 55-yard gain on a fake tush push that ended just short of the goal line, and added six receptions on six targets for 30 yards. Gainwell paced the Pittsburgh Steelers in receptions and finished second in receiving yards. Despite Jaylen Warren playing, Gainwell had 16 touches, only two fewer than Warren's 18. He continues to have a clear and valuable role in the offense, particularly useful in PPR formats, and is expected to maintain this role moving forward.

Aaron Jones Accrues 57 Total Yards, Maintains Workload in Vikings' Loss

AutoDraft Pro AI

Aaron Jones accrued 57 total yards in the Minnesota Vikings' 23-6 loss to the Packers on Sunday. He rushed nine times for 41 yards and brought in three of four targets for 16 yards. Jones actually saw a pretty typical workload despite the negative game script, getting to the nine-carry mark for the fourth straight contest. The veteran back had one more rush attempt than backfield mate Jordan Mason, and he recorded multiple receptions for the fifth straight contest. Jones and Mason should continue in their near-even timeshare during a Week 13 road battle against the Seahawks next Sunday.

Amon-Ra St. Brown Records Season-High 149 Yards, Scores TD in OT Win

AutoDraft Pro AI

Amon-Ra St. Brown delivered a season-best performance in the Detroit Lions' 34-27 overtime win over the Giants, catching nine of 13 targets for a season-high 149 yards and an 11-yard touchdown from Jared Goff in the second quarter. His nine receptions also tied his best effort of 2025. The fifth-year wideout is now just one score away from achieving his third consecutive season with double-digit touchdowns, currently holding a 75-884-9 line on 107 targets through 11 games. He will take this momentum into a Thanksgiving clash with the Packers in Week 13.

Christian Watson Paces Packers' Air Attack with 49 Yards in Win

AutoDraft Pro AI

Christian Watson led the Green Bay Packers' passing game in their 23-6 win over the Vikings, bringing in five of seven targets for 49 yards. He set the pace across the board for the Packers' air attack in receptions, receiving yards, and targets on a day when Jordan Love completed only 14 passes for 139 yards. Watson arguably boasts the most stable floor of any Green Bay receiver in his team's frequently low-volume passing game for the moment, as he's now recorded 45 receiving yards or more in all five games while logging at least four targets in each contest. Watson could be in for his busiest day yet when the Packers visit the Lions for a Thanksgiving Day showdown Thursday.

Michael Mayer Exits Browns Game with Ankle Injury, Will Not Return

AutoDraft Pro AI

Las Vegas Raiders tight end Michael Mayer suffered an ankle injury in the first half of Sunday's game against the Browns and has been ruled out for the remainder of the contest. Mayer has been playing a significant role in the Raiders' offense, which frequently utilizes two-tight end sets. The severity of the injury is currently unknown, and further updates are awaited regarding his condition and potential recovery timeline.

Rome Odunze Inefficient Despite 53 Yards on Nine Targets in Bears' Win

AutoDraft Pro AI

Rome Odunze brought in three of nine targets for 53 yards in the Chicago Bears' 31-28 win over the Steelers on Sunday. While he finished second in receiving yards for the Bears, his day could have been more productive with improved efficiency. Nevertheless, the second-year wideout eclipsed 50 receiving yards for the third time in five games, all contests in which he's drawn at least nine targets. Odunze should be busy again in a Week 13 road matchup against the Eagles on Black Friday.

Jared Goff Throws Two TDs, Leads Lions' Comeback in Overtime Victory

AutoDraft Pro AI

Jared Goff completed 28 of 42 passes for 279 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception in the Detroit Lions' 34-27 overtime win against the Giants. Despite an early struggle, the veteran quarterback orchestrated a late comeback, leading the Lions to 10 points in the fourth quarter before Jahmyr Gibbs secured the win with a 69-yard touchdown run on the first play of overtime. Goff has maintained an 8:2 TD:INT ratio over the four games since Detroit's bye and is set to face what should be a tougher test against the Packers in a Week 13 Thanksgiving clash.

DJ Moore Scores Two Touchdowns, Leads Bears in Receiving Yards in Win

AutoDraft Pro AI

DJ Moore brought in five of seven targets for 64 yards and two touchdowns in the Chicago Bears' 31-28 win over the Steelers on Sunday. In a rare instance this season, Moore outperformed fellow wideout Rome Odunze, leading the Bears in receptions and receiving yards. Moore was the only one of the two to get into the end zone, recording touchdowns of five and 25 yards in the first and third quarters, respectively. These were his first TDs since Week 3, snapping an ugly two-game funk. Moore and the Bears' air attack face a tough Week 13 road matchup against the defending champion Eagles on Black Friday.

Caleb Williams Throws 3 TDs, Leads Bears to 31-28 Win Over Steelers

AutoDraft Pro AI

Caleb Williams completed 19 of 35 passes for 239 yards with three touchdowns and no interceptions, adding four rushes for 21 yards, as the Chicago Bears defeated the Steelers 31-28 on Sunday. Despite losing a fumble and not being at his most efficient, Williams recorded his fourth multi-TD effort this season, connecting with DJ Moore and Colston Loveland for scores. The 2024 first overall pick, in his sophomore NFL campaign, will face the Eagles in a Week 13 road showdown on Black Friday, having completed 59.2% of his passes through 11 games.
