Josh Allen (right elbow) is set to return for Week 12.

Bills head coach Sean McDermott says Allen will practice fully this week. Barring a setback, the rookie quarterback will be back on the field this Sunday against the Jaguars after missing four games. It’s an interesting matchup against a team with Jalen Ramsey, who called Allen “trash” in an interview with GQ before the season. Don’t be surprised if Allen has a good game against Jacksonville, but it’s obviously playing with fire inserting him into Week 12 fantasy lineups.

Austin Hooper catches four passes in Week 11.

Hooper gained 27 yards on his four receptions against the Cowboys, as he mostly worked as an underneath outlet on play-action passes. Hooper made a nice catch in the loss, but he also had a drop on what probably would’ve been a first down. Week 12 against the Saints is a difficult matchup for Hooper, who had 23 yards and a two-point conversion against them earlier they season.

Gus Edwards goes for 115 yards and a score in win over the Bengals.

In an out-of-nowhere performance, Edwards carried the ball 17 times for 115 yards, including an 11-yard touchdown, as he and fellow rookie Lamar Jackson combined for 44 carries and over 200 yards to get Baltimore to 5-5. The Ravens probably feel most comfortable with Edwards running up the middle on options and designed keepers for Jackson, so he becomes an immediate waiver priority heading into a matchup with the Raiders. We should keep in mind that it was only one game—because he carries definite risk—but Edwards could suddenly be a low-end RB2/FLEX option.

Julio Jones scores again in Week 11.

Jones was a beast throughout Atlanta’s loss to Dallas, catching six passes for 118 yards and a touchdown. The score was a 34-yard dime on a deep ball to the end zone after Jones simply beat his man deep. He nearly had another big gain on a throw at about the five-yard line but uncharacteristically dropped it after going up in double coverage. This makes it three straight weeks with a touchdown for Jones, as he’s taking advantage of some one-on-one coverage—so people can stop with the idiotic narrative that the All-Pro can’t get the ball in the end zone. On Thanksgiving night, Jones will be one of the top WR options against the Saints. He had 96 yards against them in their first matchup of the season.

Lamar Jackson rushes 27 times in first career NFL start.

Jackson was 13/19 for 150 yards, zero touchdowns, and one interception, also adding 27 carries for 117 yards on the ground in a 24-21 victory. The Ravens basically had a whole new playbook with the rookie under center, as he and Gus Edwards (17 carries for 115 yards and one touchdown) combined to move the ball on a bunch of designed runs and options, which was enough to get a huge win against Cincinnati. Importantly, Robert Griffin III didn’t even touch the ball, so this look like Jackson’s show until Joe Flacco (hip) returns. If he draws another start, the former college superstar will probably be a high-upside QB1 in a great matchup against the Raiders next Sunday.

Marvin Hall gets one touch in Week 11.

Hall carried one time for three yards against the Cowboys, and he did not have any receptions in the game. Hall is more of a real-life contributor than a reliable fantasy asset for now.

Cody Core targeted twice in Week 11 loss.

He didn’t catch either of his looks. Core won’t be a recommended fantasy option next week against the Browns.
