Danny Amendola held to one reception in Week 12 win.

It went for 15 yards. Amendola should have a better game against Buffalo next Sunday, but he’s just a risky FLEX option in PPR leagues for the loaded Patriots.

Cam Newton rushes for a touchdown as Panthers improve to 8-3.

Coming off the bye, Newton wasn’t very sharp passing the ball, going 11/28 for 168 yards. But he avoided turnovers and added nine carries for 28 yards and a touchdown on the ground in the Week 12 victory over the Jets. Newton basically did most of his work through the air to Devin Funchess, who caught seven passes for 108 yards and a touchdown, but Newton missed some throws to his other receivers, including Greg Olsen on a corner route for a would-be touchdown. Still, Newton is putting up solid fantasy numbers and is a QB1 next week against the Saints—despite throwing three interceptions against them in their Week 3 matchup.

Mike Williams (knee) is considered day-to-day.

Chargers head coach Anthony Lynn says they’ll evaluate the rookie receiver at the end of the week, but it’d be a surprise if he played without practice time. Expect Williams to miss Week 13, but we’ll keep an eye on his status throughout the week. It’s only Monday, so he does have some time before Sunday.

Antonio Brown goes off again in primetime.

Brown caught 10 passes for 169 yards and two touchdowns, but the most important play might have been an unbelievable sideline catch to help set up the game-winning field goal. It wasn’t quite as good as Julio Jones’ performance from earlier in the day, but Brown continues to play his best when the lights come on. With Jones set to contend with Xavier Rhodes and the Vikings, Brown should be the top fantasy play in Week 13.

Phillip Dorsett catches 39-yard pass in Week 12 win.

It was his only reception of the game. Dorsett isn’t a fantasy option, but he might be the rare wide-receiver handcuff for Brandin Cooks. That said, he’s probably better left on the waiver wire in redraft leagues.

Dion Lewis rushes for first career 100-yard game in win over Miami.

Lewis rushed 15 times for 112 yards, also adding a one-yard reception. It’s been a long road for Lewis, but he’s the lead back on the NFL’s best offense and has carried it 10+ times in each of the past six games. Also, despite all the injuries since entering the league in 2011, Lewis just turned 27 in September, so he could have a lot of good football—and more 100-yard games—ahead of him. Consider him a quality RB2 in Week 13 against Buffalo.

Amari Cooper also has a sprained ankle, according to Adam Schefter.

So that makes a concussion and a sprained ankle that Cooper is currently dealing with. The concussion is the bigger concern—both personally and availability-wise—for Cooper right now, and he should be able to play through an ankle sprain if it’s not too severe and/or a high-ankle sprain. Cooper is certainly someone to keep an eye on throughout the week leading up to Sunday.
