Josh Doctson catches six passes in Week 12.

Doctson was targeted a team-high ten times against the Cowboys, gaining 66 yards on his six receptions. The former first-round pick made some nice plays on the boundary, where he’s shown he has a lot of potential dating back to his days at TCU. Doctson isn’t a recommended fantasy option, but he might be able to take advantage of Philadelphia’s cornerbacks in Week 13.

Vernon Davis catches long touchdown on Thanksgiving.

Davis got behind the defense on a similar play to last week when he dropped a likely touchdown, this time catching it for a 53-yard score. Overall, the veteran tight end caught two passes for 73 yards and a touchdown. Colt McCoy is comfortable throwing between the numbers, and Davis still has plenty of speed and ability; however, Davis offers a low floor in fantasy lineups as a No. 2 tight end for Washington.

Jordan Reed catches six passes in Week 12.

Reed gained 75 yards on his six receptions against the Cowboys, as Colt McCoy showed confidence in the athletic tight end, targeting him eight times. At the end of the game, Reed took a clear helmet-to-helmet hit on a third down, but the officials did not call it. Anyway, this was a positive performance for Reed in McCoy’s first start under-center after he caught a touchdown from him last week, so he’s looking like a stronger TE1 option moving forward. Next week isn’t an easy matchup against the Eagles, though.

Kapri Bibbs scores against the Cowboys.

Bibbs had three carries for 17 yards and a touchdown along with three receptions for 19 yards in the Thanksgiving loss. Bibbs benefited from being in the game while the redskins went in hurry-up mode in the second half, and he punched in a touchdown by the goal line while Adrian Peterson remained on the sideline. Consider Bibbs a touchdown-dependent FLEX option for Week 13 against the Eagles.

Adrian Peterson gets 14 touches against the Cowboys.

Peterson carried 12 times for 35 yards and added two receptions (on two targets) for nine yards in the Thanksgiving loss. Dallas did an excellent job of bottling up the running game of the Redskins, and unfortunately for Peterson owners, Kapri Bibbs was in on a goal-line carry for a rushing score. Peterson will look to bounce back in Week 13, but he has a tough matchup against the Eagles. Volume helps him remain a solid fantasy option as someone that can break one despite a low floor.

Colt McCoy has up and down day in Redskins’ Thanksgiving loss.

McCoy was 24/38 for 268 yards, two touchdowns, and three interceptions along with five carries for 28 yards against the Cowboys. The touchdowns were to Vernon Davis (for 53 yards on a deep ball) and to Try Quinn on a nice throw in the red zone. The Cowboys got pressure on McCoy, but he made some questionable decisions by making some throws into traffic. Overall, he showed playmaking ability and just needs to take care of the ball more moving forward as he looks to lead the Redskins to an NFC East title. McCoy isn’t a highly-recommended fantasy option for Week 13 against the Eagles.

Tre’Quan Smith (foot) is inactive for tonight’s game.

The rookie receiver unfortunately isn’t ready for the Thanksgiving nightcap after his huge 10/157/1 performance last week against the Eagles. Brandon Marshall is also inactive, so Michael Thomas should be set for a ton of targets in a good matchup. This was a short week, and Smith should be ready to go for Week 13.
