Peyton Barber scores twice in Week 12 loss.

Barber rushed five times for seven yards, including a two-yard touchdown run in the third quarter and a one-yard score in the fourth. The second-year back probably wouldn’t have received the goal-line carries if not for Doug Martin leaving with a concussion. Barber isn’t a fantasy option.

Delanie Walker catches touchdown in Week 12.

Walker was targeted five times against the Colts, catching four passes (on five targets) for 63 yards and a touchdown. The 63 receiving yards led the team, and the score came on a corner route in the end zone—Walker’s first touchdown reception of the season, as he only had a rushing touchdown so far this year. Walker also had a 37-yard reception on a deep route where four or five Colts were trying to chase him while the ball was in the air in one of the weirdest plays you’ll see. The veteran tight end now has at least 60 yards in each of the last five games, and he needs to remain in lineups as a TE1.

Jacquizz Rodgers rushed eight times for 31 yards in Sunday’s loss to the Falcons.

He also caught a six-yard pass. Rodgers saw extended playing time when Doug Martin left the game with a concussion, but Peyton Barber was the one who converted a couple goal-line looks. Whether or not Martin is cleared for Week 13, Rodgers won’t be a good fantasy option against Green Bay.

Ryan Fitzpatrick, Bucs fall to 4-7 with 34-20 loss to the Falcons.

Fitzpatrick was 27/44 for 283 yards, zero touchdown, and zero interceptions. He also rushed twice for 20 yards. Tampa Bay was down 20-6 at the half, but they were able to cut the lead to 27-20 before a Tevin Coleman touchdown sealed it in the fourth quarter. Fitz played well again, and he should have thrown for a touchdown pass if not for Mike Evans letting it go right through his hands in the end zone. The 35-year-old won’t be a recommended streaming option if he gets another start next week against the Packers.

DeMarco Murray scores against the Colts.

Murray couldn’t get much going on the ground in the Titans’ Week 12 win, carrying 12 times for nine yards—but he did have a touchdown. The score came at the goal line, where Murray lined up at fullback in front of Derrick Henry and punched it in on the first carry there. Murray also added three receptions for 33 yards, but the score is what really saved his fantasy day. Henry averaged 6.1 yards per carry on 13 attempts compared to Murray’s less than one yard per carry, and the Titans might have no choice but to start giving Henry the majority of the carries in the backfield. Murray will still remain involved either way, though, so he’ll be an RB2/FLEX option in Week 13.

Derrick Henry leads the Titans in rushing in Week 12.

Henry carried 13 time for 79 yards and added one reception for ten yards receiving, as he out-produced DeMarco Murray (12 carries for nine yards and a touchdown) on the ground. On one drive in particular in the second half, Henry did most of the work to get the Titans down to the goal line before Murray received a one-yard carry from the fullback position and punched it in for a touchdown. The monster second-year back has been carrying the ball a lot better than the veteran Murray recently, so he should get a good amount of touches each week for a team fighting for the AFC South. Henry is in the FLEX conversation for Week 13.

Marcus Mariota throws two interceptions but the Titans improve to 7-4.

Mariota was 17/25 for 184 yards, one touchdown, and two interceptions as he surprisingly didn’t have a great game against the Colts. It’s worth noting Indianapolis was coming off their bye week, but this was Mariota’s fifth and sixth interceptions over the last two games. On one interception, he was pressured immediately and it appeared the receiver slipped on the route, though. The touchdown was on a corner route to Delanie Walker in the end zone. Next week, Mariota faces a Texans team that he scored twice on the ground against in their first matchup before leaving with the hamstring injury that he had to deal with for several weeks. The third-year quarterback is a good bet to turn things around, but he’ll have some risk in fantasy lineups until he does.
