Richard Rodgers catches one pass in Week 12.

Rodgers caught a quick pop pass on a run-pass option that he took for 25 yards down the middle of the field. He’s not a recommended fantasy option in an offense that doesn’t run through the tight end, especially without Aaron Rodgers in the lineup.

Ed Dickson catches one pass in Week 12.

Dickson gained 15 yards on his lone reception against the Jets. Greg Olsen left the game with a foot injury in his first game back, and it’s certainly possible he misses more time after he missed eight weeks with a broken foot. Dickson would offer some upside in fantasy lineups if Olsen were to miss any more time.

Akeem Hunt gets two touches versus Buffalo.

Hunt had one carry for -10 yards and one reception for six yards. He did also have a kick return of 32 yards, but h’s not a fantasy option right now.

Multiple reports: Paxton Lynch has a high-ankle sprain.

A high-ankle sprain is no joke and might keep the second-year quarterback out for the rest of the season. Trevor Siemian, who played very well when he came in for Lynch in yesterday’s loss to Oakland, will now take over as the starter and will attempt to show he can be the team’s answer at quarterback heading into 2018. It’s a shame for Lynch, as this both hurts his chances to show what he can do, as well as his chance for some valuable playing experience as the starter.

Martavis Bryant scores for the first time since Week 2 in SNF win.

Bryant caught four passes for 40 yards and a touchdown, which was a 17-yarder in the second quarter. The talented receiver was a full-time player with JuJu Smith-Schuster (hamstring) inactive, but he still left some plays on the field, and is almost certainly going to have his role scaled back again when JuJu is back. If the rookie returns next week against Cincinnati, Bryant’s FLEX status will become a lot more volatile.

Rob Gronkowski breaks out of minor slump with two touchdowns in Week 12 win.

Gronk caught five passes for 82 yards, including a five-yard score in the first quarter and a 15-yard score in the third quarter. Both came on single coverage, which is almost an automatic touchdown when New England gets in scoring territory. Gronkowski is at the top of his game and was healthy enough to carry Brandin Cooks on his back after the receiver scored late in the win. As always, Gronk is the clear top option at the position in Week 13.

Charcandrick West catches three passes in Week 12.

West was targeted on a few check downs, gaining seven yards on his three receptions. He’s more of a handcuff to Kareem Hunt at the moment.
