Dede Westbrook scores in Week 12 loss.

Westbrook caught three passes for 44 yards and a touchdown, also adding a 43-yard rush in a 24-21 defeat. The former Heisman finalist gets some good matchups the rest of the way—including next week against the Colts—but Leonard Fournette is probably the only Jacksonville player worth considering for fantasy owners.

Russell Wilson throws two touchdowns in Seattle’s Week 12 win.

Wilson was 22/31 for 339 yards and two touchdowns along with three carries for four yards against the Panthers. It was an exceptional game for Wilson, who led the Seahawks to 13 fourth-quarter points to get to 6-5 and in prime position for a wild-card spot in the NFC. The scores were to Tyler Lockett (on a laser for 12 yards) and David Moore (on a 35-yard deep ball to tie the game in the fourth quarter). Wilson is arguably playing the best football of his career right now, and he’s doing it mostly as a passer. He has at least 18 standard fantasy points in every game since Week 5, and you should keep him locked into lineups as a strong QB1 option next week against the Niners.

David Njoku scores in Browns’ win.

Njoku caught five passes (on five targets) for 63 yards and a touchdown, leading the team in both receptions and yardage while being one of four players to catch a touchdown from Baker Mayfield in the game. The spectacular touchdown was a six-yarder on a screen pass where Njoku leaped to the end zone from the five-yard line, was stopped short in mid-air but was then pushed into the end zone by his teammates while remaining off the ground. This was a good bounce back for Njoku after just one reception in his last game, and he gets a good matchup next week against the Texans. He remains a solid TE1 option, but he offers a low floor if the Browns opt not to utilize him.

Jason Croom caught two passes for 16 yards in Sunday’s win over Jacksonville.

Croom saw three targets, which actually tied for the team lead, but he isn’t a recommended fantasy option—even in a good spot next week against Miami—on a low-volume passing attack.

Blake Bortles, Jaguars fall to 3-8 with 24-21 loss in Buffalo.

Bortles was 12/23 for 127 yards, one touchdown, and two interceptions, also adding six rushes for 39 yards. Jacksonville trailed 14-0 after the first quarter, but they were able to tie things up at 14-14 by halftime. However, the turning point of the game came on a touchdown-turned-brawl in the second half, as Donte Moncrief was originally ruled in for six, but he was marked short of the goal-line, and Leonard Fournette was ejected after the play for fighting Bills defensive end Shaq Lawson; after that, the Jags were stuffed and missed a chip-shot field goal, and Buffalo ended up going ahead three plays later. Bortles might have a couple big performances up his sleeve down the stretch, but he can’t be trusted in fantasy lineups with playoffs on the line.

Kelvin Benjamin catches 32-yard pass in win over the Jaguars.

It was his only reception of the game. Benjamin has struggled this year, and he’s unlikely to break out of it with a matchup against Xavien Howard coming up in Week 13. Fantasy owners should look elsewhere.

Breshad Perriman gets two touches against the Bengals.

Perriman had one carry for -12 yards and caught one pass (on one target) for six yards. The former first-round pick is just an option in dynasty leagues for now.
