Matchup Ratings

Baker Mayfield hasn't thrown for a touchdown in any of his past three games for the Browns, but in Week 12, he gets a Jaguars defense that has allowed 21 scores through the air, just two shy of the most in the league.

KhaDarel Hodge caught three passes for the first time all season for the Browns his last time out, and in Week 12, he gets a Jaguars defense allowing 185.5 yards per game to his position, the sixth-highest total in the league.

Dalvin Cook has seen at least 24 touches in four straight games and has 13 rushing scores through nine outings, and should again be busy and successful for the Vikings in Week 12 against a Panthers defense allowing 4.6 yards per carry and 14 rushing scores to date.

Brandin Cooks has 496 receiving yards in his last six games, and he should continue to play a prominent role in Houston's passing attack in Week 12 against a Lions secondary that has allowed the fifth-most yards to wide receivers this season (1,855).

Josh Allen showed a few issues with protecting the ball for the Bills prior to the bye week, but he'll get an opportunity to get back on track against a Chargers defense in Week 12 that's allowed 17 passing touchdowns in their last seven games.

Justin Jefferson continues to make big plays for the Vikings, averaging at least 16.9 yards per catch in each of his past three games, and could see a huge uptick in targets in Week 12 against a decent Panthers pass defense that's allowing 6.9 yards per attempt if Adam Thielen (Covid) is forced to sit.

Antonio Gibson has scored in four-straight games for Washington and will face a lackluster Cowboys run defense in Week 12 yielding 153.8 yards per contest on the ground, which is 31st in the NFL.

Derek Carr threw three touchdowns last week for the third time this season, and the Raiders quarterback figures to air it out frequently in Week 12 on the road against a Falcons defense that ranks second-last in the league in passing yards per game allowed and passing TDs allowed.

Will Fuller already has a career-high 708 receiving yards, as he and Brandin Cooks are the clear-cut top two receiving options for the Texans heading into a Week 12 matchup with a Lions defense that has allowed 1,855 yards to wide receivers -- fifth-most in the league.

Tyler Eifert has just one touchdown this season and is yet to break 50 yards in a Jaguars uniform, but perhaps he can turn things around in Week 12 against a Browns defense that has allowed the fifth-most yards (583) and fourth-most touchdowns (seven) to tight ends.

Davante Adams has scored in five straight, catching at least seven balls in each game during that stretch, and that steady volume should allow him to lead the Packers again in Week 12 against a Bears defense that's allowed only five touchdown catches to opposing receivers, but three in the last two weeks, with two receivers topping 100 yards in that stretch.

David Montgomery (concussion) appears to be trending towards a Week 12 return for the Bears, and while he's been plodding for the majority of the year, volume has always been steady and should continue against Green Bay, both because Chicago has questions under center and because the Packers are allowing 4.4 yards per carry, and four opposing rushers have gone for 90+ yards against them in the last six weeks.

Daniel Carlson hasn't scored fewer than seven points in any game this season, and he figures to extend that streak in Week 12 as the Raiders face a Falcons team allowing 27.5 points per game, 25th in the league.

Jason Sanders knocked through both of his field goal attempts including a 53-yarder heading into a matchup with the Jets in Week 12, who have allowed 30 points per game this season.

Latavius Murray and the Saints have a solid Week 12 matchup against a Broncos defense that has allowed the sixth-most fantasy points to running backs per game (21.6) since Week 6.

Kerryon Johnson played 70 percent of the snaps for the Lions last week in D'Andre Swift's absence, and while that turned into only eight touches, he looks like the preferred option for the Lions in Week 12 on Thursday should Swift sit again, and facing a Texans defense that allows 5.1 yards per carry, he may not need many touches to produce.

Patrick Mahomes has thrown for more than 340 yards in three straight games with an 11:1 TD:INT, and the Kansas City superstar may not slow down in Week 12 against a Buccaneers defense that just got lit up by Jared Goff on Monday night.

Philip Rivers has a trio of three-touchdown performances in his last five games heading into a Week 12 matchup with a Titans defense that the veteran Colts quarterback carved up for over 300 yards two weeks ago.

Ka'imi Fairbairn has been automatic from inside 40 yards and has made 16 of 19 field-goal attempts overall this season heading into Houston's Week 12 matchup with a Lions team that's allowing 28.7 points per game.

Travis Kelce is coming off his fourth 100-yard performance of the season, and he figures to get plenty of volume in Week 12 as Kansas City faces a Buccaneers defense that's tied for 25th in the league in receptions allowed to tight ends.

Alvin Kamara and the Saints have a solid Week 12 matchup against a Broncos defense that has allowed the sixth-most fantasy points to running backs per game (21.6) since Week 6.

Jakeem Grant saw six targets, tied for second-most on the Dolphins, but mustered just 12 yards heading into a much better matchup in Week 12 against the Jets and their bottom-five secondary.

Austin Hooper has just four catches for 44 total yards over his past two outings for the Browns, but in Week 12, he gets a Jaguars defense allowing 55.7 yards per game to tight ends, the seventh-highest total in the league.

Tyreek Hill has posted back-to-back 100-yard performances and has scored in every game but one this season, and the Kansas City speedster figures to be dangerous again in Week 12 against a Buccaneers defense that had trouble containing Cooper Kupp and Robert Woods on Monday night.
