Bills have changed dynamic of matchup with Chiefs

Chris Simms shares why the Bills handing K.C. its first loss of the season shows “it’s different” this season and why the matchup has changed in Buffalo’s favor given that they currently have more offensive weapons.

Brock Purdy

SF Quarterback #13

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Brock Purdy (shoulder) was limited in Wednesday’s practice.

Per head coach Kyle Shanahan, Purdy is dealing with soreness in his right (throwing) shoulder after the team’s Week 11 loss to the Seahawks. Shanahan is hardly a reliable narrator when it comes to injuries, but this does appear to be a rather minor issue. Barring a surprise, Purdy will suit up as a low-end QB1 for his Week 12 matchup with the Packers.
George Kittle

SF Tight End #85

George Kittle (hamstring) was limited in Wednesday’s practice.

Kittle missed Week 11 with the hamstring issue despite closing the week with two limited practices before being listed as questionable. A limited practice to open the week is a step in the right direction. Head coach Kyle Shanahan also told reporters that he was close to playing on Sunday. Our bet is on Kittle returning for Week 12 and Kittle evidently agrees, telling reporters “I will be playing on Sunday.” Fantasy managers will want to keep tabs on this situation as the week progresses but things are headed in the right direction. The 49ers don’t have a tight end of note for fantasy purposes when Kittle is sidelined, so emergency Kittle replacements will need to come from other squads.
David Njoku

CLE Tight End #85

David Njoku (knee) was removed from the injury report and will play in Week 12 against the Steelers.

Njoku had his reps limited in practice this week but doesn’t have an injury designation heading into Thursday’s game versus the Steelers. Njoku has seen plenty of looks in recent weeks, piling up 19 receptions in Jameis Winston’s three starts. He remains in the TE1 ranks for Week 12.
Mike Evans

TB Wide Receiver #13

FOX Sports’ Jordan Schultz reports Mike Evans (hamstring) returned to practice Wednesday and is “planning to play” in Week 12 against the Giants.

Evans has been out since Week 7 with a severe hamstring issue. Initial reports had Week 12 as the most likely return for him and it looks like things are going to plan for the veteran wideout. The Bucs are also without Chris Godwin who is done for the year with an ankle injury. Evans should easily dominate the team’s targets once healthy. If active for Week 12, Evans will rise to the top of the WR2 ranks in his first game back. He practiced in a limited capacity on Wednesday.
D'Andre Swift

CHI Running Back #4

D’Andre Swift (groin) did not practice Wednesday.

Apparently Swift sustained a groin injury in Week 10 against Green Bay, a game that saw him run for 71 yard and a score on 14 rushes. Fantasy managers should keep an eye on Swift’s late-week practice participation before they put him in lineups for Week 11. Roschon Johnson would become a top-15 fantasy play if Swift were to be sidelined this week against Minnesota.
Tyrone Tracy Jr.

NYG Running Back #29

ESPN’s Dan Graziano believes the Giants will “lean” on the run game in Week 11 against the Bucs.

With Tommy DeVito taking over at quarterback, Graziano makes the (reasonable) assumption that the Giants will play it conservatively on offense, which could mean a heavy dose of rookie RB Tyrone Tracy. Tracy has been efficient by every measure, averaging 5.1 yards per carry with a 47 percent rushing success rate. He’ll face off against a Tampa defense giving up the NFL’s 14th highest rushing success rate in 2024. Tracy is locked in as a top-15 option in Week 11. The Giants have a 61 percent drop back rate on the season, 3 percent below their expected rate.
Brandin Cooks

DAL Wide Receiver #3

Cowboys opened the 21-day practice window for WR Brandin Cooks (knee).

Cooks, who hasn’t played since Week 4 after developing an infection during a knee procedure, has a chance to suit up this week against the Commanders. The Cowboys could choose to hold Cooks out until their Thanksgiving Day matchup against the Giants. If Cooks remains sidelined in Week 11, Kavontae Turpin — who had 86 yards and a touchdown on three catches in Week 10 — could be interesting in deeper formats. Cooks was limited in Wednesday’s practice.
Justin Tucker

BAL Kicker #9

Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said there’s “no thought” of benching K Justin Tucker.

Tucker for the first time in his 13-year NFL career is struggling mightily to put the ball between the uprights. He’s missed six of his 22 field goal tries in 2024, including two in Baltimore’s Week 11 loss to the Steelers. “You have to find that competition first if you’re going to be blunt about it. Where is that competition? That would be one thing,” Harbaugh said when asked if the team would consider benching Tucker. “The best option right now is to get Justin back on point, because he’s fully capable of doing it. (We) certainly haven’t lost any confidence in Justin Tucker.” Tuckers’ struggles from distance stretch back to 2023. Over the past two seasons, he’s made just four of 12 field goals of more than 50 yards. Continued struggles for Tucker could force Harbaugh to give some thought to a kicker change as the Ravens head toward the playoffs.
Jake Ferguson

DAL Tight End #87

Cowboys coach Mike McCarthy said Jake Ferguson (concussion) will be “hard pressed” to play in Dallas’ Week 12 game against the Commanders.

Desperate PPR-scam desirers at tight end can start with Luke Schoonmaker, who caught 6-of-10 targets for 56 yards on Monday night. Dallas’ offensive ceiling is probably 20 points right now, but Schoonmaker has made the most of his opportunities when Ferguson has missed time this year, with 12 catches in two games against the Saints and Texans.
Cooper Rush

DAL Quarterback #10

Cowboys coach Mike McCarthy said Cooper Rush will start in Dallas’ Week 12 game against the Commanders.

But there will also be a package of plays for Trey Lance. Ultimately this may make neither player superflex viable if they are splitting into each other’s time. Only truly desperate times would call for starting either player against a Commanders defense that is on the upswing in Week 12.
