Brice Butler catches one pass against the Chargers.

The big receiver gained five yards on his lone reception. He’ll make some big plays for the Cowboys, but he’s not a reliable fantasy option right now.

Antonio Gates doesn’t catch a pass in Week 12.

Gates was targeted twice against the Cowboys, but he and Philip Rivers couldn’t connect. This is the future Hall of Famers second straight week without a reception, so he’s off the fantasy radar right now.

Cole Beasley catches two passes against the Chargers.

Beasley gained 19 yards on his two receptions (three targets) in the Thanksgiving afternoon loss. He did have a pass intended for him intercepted by Desmond King and taken the other way for a pick-six, too. Beasley isn’t a recommended fantasy option at the moment.

Dez Bryant catches three passes versus Los Angeles.

Chargers cornerback Casey Hayward and company did an excellent job of limiting Bryant, who had three receptions on five targets for 37 yards in the game. Bryant had a chance at a touchdown on a jump ball in the end zone that he got both hands on, but it appeared he might’ve mis-timed it a bit. Bryant doesn’t have a touchdown since Week 7, and he has a tough matchup with Josh Norman and the Redskins next Thursday night.

Jason Witten catches all seven targets in Week 12.

The veteran tight end gained 44 yards on his seven receptions, so it was only a solid fantasy performance in PPR leagues. Witten will be a low-floor option against the Redskins next week.

Ryan Switzer gets one offensive touch in Week 12.

Switzer’s lone carry went for -4 yards. He’s only a fantasy option in dynasty leagues at the moment.

Philip Rivers tosses two touchdowns in Chargers’ 54-24 win over the Bills.

Rivers was 20/32 for 251 yards and two touchdowns—both to Keenan Allen—in the Week 11 victory. Rivers peppered Allen with 13 targets in the game, and the two did most of their damage in the first half. It could’ve been a bigger game for Rivers if the game was closer than the 37-7 first-half score. Now the Chargers, who are one game back in the AFC wild card race and two games back in the division, face the Cowboys on Thanksgiving. Rivers will be in QB1 consideration.
