Matt Gay converted both of his field goal attempts for the only points in the Colts' 24-6 loss to the Lions in Week 12.
Fantasy Impact: Gay continues to make the most of operating behind an inconsistent Indianapolis offense, recording six or more points in 10 consecutive games for the Colts. The kicker will likely see ample opportunities once again in a Week 13 matchup against the New England Patriots.
Adonai Mitchell caught just one of his three targets for 10 yards in the Colts' 24-6 Week 12 loss to the Lions.
Fantasy Impact: Mitchell continues to struggle to produce consistently in the Indianapolis passing offense, finishing with less than three receptions in 10 of 12 games. The rookie wideout remains a boom-or-bust option that will be difficult for fantasy managers to trust ahead of a Week 13 contest against the New England Patriots.
Josh Downs caught three of his seven targets for 27 yards in the Colts' 24-6 loss to the Lions in Week 12.
Fantasy Impact: Downs was unable to find much success against a strong Detroit defense, logging less than four receptions and 60 receiving yards for the first time in six games Sunday. The wideout also suffered an apparent shoulder injury in the loss and will need to be monitored by fantasy managers ahead of a Week 13 contest against the New England Patriots.
Alec Pierce caught just one of his four targets for 39 yards in the Colts' 24-6 loss to the Lions in Week 12.
Fantasy Impact: Pierce was held in check by a stout Detroit defense, finishing with less than three receptions for the first time in his last four games. The pass-catcher remains a primary option in the passing offense for second-year quarterback Anthony Richardson ahead of a Week 13 matchup against the New England Patriots.

Michael Pittman Jr. hauled in six of his team-leading seven targets for 96 yards in the Colts' 24-6 Week 12 loss to the Lions.
Fantasy Impact: Pittman Jr. has offered mixed results despite remaining heavily involved in the Indianapolis passing attack, finishing with less than 60 receiving yards in eight of 11 games despite receiving at least five targets in 10 of those contests. The wideout will look to offer more of the game-changing ability he possesses in a Week 13 contest against the New England Patriots.
Jonathan Taylor rushed 11 times for 35 yard while failing to receive a target in the Colts' 24-6 loss to the Lions in Week 12.
Fantasy Impact: Taylor has cooled off out of the Indianapolis backfield, rushing for less than 60 yards in three of his last five games. The dynamic running back will look to return to his early-season form out of the backfield against the New England Patriots in Week 13.

Anthony Richardson completed 11-of-28 pass attempts for 172 yards while also carrying the ball 10 times for a team-high 61 yards in the Colts' 24-6 Week 12 loss to the Lions.
Fantasy Impact: Richardson made the most of an otherwise forgettable day, as numerous dropped passes doomed the athletic signal-caller in a losing effort. The second-year quarterback will look to get back on track against the New England Patriots in Week 13.
The Lions D/ST held the Colts out of the end zone despite failing to record a sack or turnover in a 24-6 Week 12 win.
Fantasy Impact: The unit continues to hold opposing offenses in check despite suffering key injuries of late, holding opponents under 20 points in five of the last seven games. Fantasy managers can deploy the unit with confidence against an inconsistent Chicago Bears offense on Thanksgiving in Week 13.
Jake Bates converted all three of his extra point attempts as well as his lone field goal attempt in the Lions' 24-6 Week 12 win over the Colts.
Fantasy Impact: Bates continues to benefit playing behind the No. 1 scoring offense in the NFL, recording six or more points in 10 of 11 games and remaining a perfect 16-for-16 in field goal attempts to this point. The rookie kicker can remain in lineups ahead of a Week 13 Thanksgiving contest against the Chicago Bears.
Jared Goff completed 26-of-36 pass attempts for 269 yards in the Lions' 24-6 win over the Colts in Week 12.
Fantasy Impact: Goff was held out of the end zone despite moving the ball on a mostly consistent basis through the air, failing to throw a touchdown for the first time in the last nine games for the Lions. The veteran signal-caller will look to get back on track against the Chicago Bears on Thanksgiving in Week 13.

Jahmyr Gibbs rushed 21 times for 90 yards and two touchdowns while also hauling in all three of his targets for nine yards in the Lions' 24-6 Week 12 win over the Colts.
Fantasy Impact: Gibbs has had a nose for the end zone out of the Detroit backfield, rushing for at least one touchdown in five of the last six games for the Lions. The dual-threat running back could see even more involvement if David Montgomery (shoulder) is unable to suit up for a Week 13 Thanksgiving divisional matchup against the Chicago Bears.

Amon-Ra St. Brown hauled in six of his seven targets for 62 yards in the Lions' 24-6 Week 12 win over the Colts.
Fantasy Impact: St. Brown has recorded at least six receptions in each of the last four games for the Lions, reaching the end zone four times in that same span. The athletic wideout remains locked in as a WR1 option ahead of a Week 13 matchup against the Chicago Bears on Thanksgiving.

Jameson Williams hauled in five of his seven targets for a team-leading 64 yards while also carrying the ball once for four yards in the Lions' 24-6 Week 12 win over the Colts.
Fantasy Impact: Williams has been a primary option in the Detroit passing attack of late, recording at least three receptions, five targets, and 53 receiving yards in each of the last three games. The dynamic wideout remains a versatile option in the high-octane offense, with a Week 13 Thanksgiving contests against the Chicago Bears up next.
Sam LaPorta caught three of his six targets for 19 yards in the Lions' 24-6 win over the Colts in Week 12.
Fantasy Impact: LaPorta was unable to find much success despite finishing second on the team in targets, finishing with less than 20 receiving yards for the first time in his last eight games. The tight end will look to get back on track against a Chicago Bears defense that struggled against Minnesota tight end T.J. Hockenson Sunday in a Week 13 Thanksgiving matchup.
Craig Reynolds carried the ball once for six yards in the Lions' 24-6 win over the Colts in Week 12.
Fantasy Impact: Reynolds has not been much of a factor out of the backfield, finishing with less than six carries in each of the last six games. The running back carries little value as long as the running back tandem of Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery remains healthy, with a Week 13 Thanksgiving contest against the Chicago Bears up next.
Brock Wright caught both of his targets for 24 yards in the Lions' 24-6 win over the Colts in Week 12.
Fantasy Impact: Wright has seen minimal involvement on offense, logging more than one reception for the first time in the last seven games Sunday. The tight end can remain out of lineups ahead of a Week 13 contest against the Chicago Bears on Thanksgiving.
Tim Patrick hauled in all four of his targets for 55 yards in the Lions' 24-6 Week 12 win over the Colts.
Fantasy Impact: Patrick has seen a slight uptick in usage in the Detroit passing attack, recording at least three receptions and four targets in each of the last two games. The wideout is even move valuable in the Detroit offense for his run-blocking, but will be difficult to trust for fantasy purposes ahead of a Week 13 matchup against the Chicago Bears on Thanksgiving.
The Patriots D/ST allowed 34 points, 317 passing yards, and 65 rushing yards in the loss to the Dolphins.
Fantasy Impact: The Patriots' defense did tally two sacks and one fumble recovery for a 63-yard touchdown by Christian Gonzalez. Outside of the fumble recovery, there was not many positive moments for the Patriots' defense in the loss Sunday. They will look to bounce back against the Colts in Week 13.
Joey Slye missed his lone field goal attempt and made 1-of-1 extra point attempts in the Patriots 34-15 loss to Miami.
Fantasy Impact: Slye missed a 45-yard field goal attempt on the Patriots' second drive of the game. The Patriots' offense is not moving the ball consistently enough to give Slye many opportunities. Slye and the Patriots will look to bounce back against the Colts in Week 13.
Austin Hooper caught 4-of-4 targets for 59 yards and a touchdown in the Patriots 34-15 loss to Miami.
Fantasy Impact: Hooper found the endzone on a 38-yard touchdown reception in the fourth quarter to get New England on the board. Fantasy managers should view Hooper as a streaming option at best heading into a Week 13 matchup with the Colts.
