Demaryius Thomas gets eight targets in Week 12.

His eight targets were a team-high, but Oakland again did a nice job of limiting Thomas, as he had five receptions for only 18 yards in the game. Thomas will look to bounce back next week against former offensive coordinator Adam Gase and the Dolphins.

Duke Johnson handles 10 touches in Week 12 loss.

Johnson rushed six times for 35 yards and caught four passes for 32 yards. The third-year back is averaging over 7.0 yards per touch this season, but Cleveland continues to limit his role for whatever reason. He is just a PPR FLEX option next week against the Chargers.

George Kittle catches one pass in Week 12.

Kittle gained 14 yards on his lone reception (two targets) in his return from a one-game absence because of an ankle injury. Kittle isn’t a fantasy option at the moment.

A.J. Green leads team in receiving on Sunday.

Green caught five passes for 66 yards, but the Cincinnati offense was centered around Joe Mixon, as the rookie handles 26 touches in the win. In a huge game next Monday night against the Steelers, Green will probably need to have a big game for the Bengals to improve to 6-6. He was held to 41 yards in their first meeting of the season, but Green should be a high-end WR1 in Week 13.

Adrian Peterson handles 24 touches in win over the Jaguars.

Peterson rushed 20 times for 79 yards and caught four passes for 20 yards. The veteran Cardinals team isn’t going to give up on the season, and they were able to fight their way to an upset victory over Jacksonville with a last-second field goal. Peterson should continue to be fed touches next week against the Rams, and he’s settled in as a volume-based RB2 option.

Kendall Wright catches two passes against the Eagles.

No one for Chicago could get much going in the Week 12 loss, and Wright gained only 15 yards on his two receptions. Wright isn’t a recommended fantasy option next week against the Niners.

Louis Murphy catches touchdown in Week 12.

Murphy caught two of four targets for 14 yards and a touchdown versus Seattle, with the score coming as time expired with the game in hand. Perhaps most notably, the touchdown was the first of Jimmy Garoppolo’s 49ers career, and fans will hope it’s one that’s replayed a lot through the year if Garoppolo leads the franchise back to prominence. For fantasy purposes, Murphy isn’t a recommended option right now.
