Fantasy Football Player Notes

Week 12 PPR Rankings

Puka Nacua Note

Since returning to the Rams lineup last month, Puka Nacua has finished as a top-20 fantasy wideout in three of four games. His miss was notable because Nacua was ejected in that game early for throwing a punch. Nacua continues to produce whenever he is on the field. The Rams have a tough matchup in Week 12 against the Philadelphia Eagles. But head coach Sean McVay and quarterback Matthew Stafford are savvy enough to be able to get their wide receivers involved. I would not hesitate to start both Puka Nacua and Cooper Kupp this week.

Cooper Kupp Note

As is the case with teammate Puka Nacua, Cooper Kupp has produced in every full game he has played since returning from an early-season injury. Kupp peaked with last week's overall WR2 weekly performance and has 80 yards and/or a touchdown in five of six games this season. A matchup with the Philadelphia Eagles and rookie cornerback Quinyon Mitchell looks in Week 12 for Kupp and the Rams. Kupp and Nacua line up all over the formation, so it is difficult to assume one gets shut down. That means that even in a difficult draw, Kupp should continue to be an elite fantasy wide receiver in this game.

Kyren Williams Note

After beginning the season with at least one touchdown in seven straight games, Kyren Williams has now failed to score in three consecutive contests. But he still has at least 82 yards from scrimmage in all three of those games. Williams also has a total of 61 opportunities across those three outings. Williams has a tough Week 12 matchup when the Philadelphia Eagles come to town for a Sunday night showdown. The Eagles have only allowed three touchdowns to opposing running backs this year. However, Williams gets enough volume to keep trusting him as an every-week starting fantasy running back.

Demarcus Robinson Note

Robinson has come back down to earth over the last two weeks. Since Week 10, he has had a 9.6% target share, 0.71 YPRR, and a 10.4% first-read share. He has seen two end-zone targets, but he has only managed 21 receiving yards per game with zero touchdowns. Robinson is a must-sit this week against a Philly secondary that, since Week 6, has allowed the fewest receiving yards per game and fantasy points per game to perimeter wide receivers.

Davis Allen Note

Allen isn't worth a roster spot at this point. Since Week 10, he has had a 74% route share, an 8.2% target share, only 0.60 YPRR, and 17 receiving yards per game. That type of volume only has a pulse in fantasy in a wonderful matchup. Allen definitely doesn't have that this week. Philly has shut down tight ends, allowing the seventh-fewest receiving yards per game and the third-fewest fantasy points per game.
