Both Mike Evans and Tyreek Hill appear likely to take the field in Week 12. It will be Evans’ first game action since the disastrous Week 7 game against Baltimore that saw both Evans and Chris Godwin sustain significant injuries. Both Evans and Hill will slot in as high-end WR2s in their respective matchups.
DeVonta Smith is out for Week 12’s Sunday night contest against the Rams with a hamstring injury. None of the Eagles’ other receivers are worth starting (aside from A.J. Brown, of course), and the vacated target volume will likely go to Brown, Saquon Barkley, and Dallas Goedert.
With Brock Purdy out, we unfortunately need to downgrade Jauan Jennings and Deebo Samuel slightly this week. Jennings remains the safer play of the two given recent trends in their usage and performance.
Malik Nabers is questionable with a groin injury but insists he is going to play on Sunday. Whether or not he does suit up will not affect the rankings of other Giants receivers with Tommy DeVito under center.
We’ve got some questions in the Panthers’ receiving room with both veteran Adam Thielen and rookie Jalen Coker bearing questionable tags ahead of Sunday. If Thielen suits up and Coker does not, he would probably be the best option in the Panthers’ passing game as the supposed security blanket for Bryce Young. Still, none of Thielen, Coker, or Xavier Legette are recommended plays against the Chiefs defense.
Keenan Allen picked up a questionable tag on Friday, but this hopefully doesn’t affect your lineup decisions with the Bears playing a stout Vikings defense. If you’re facing a slew of byes and were forced to start Allen this week, make sure you have a backup plan in place.
