Who’s Hot & Who’s Not – 11/18/2025 – Week 12 NFL Fantasy Football
Who’s Hot!
TreVeyon Henderson, New England Patriots
In reality, could the Patriots being forced to lean on Henderson be a blessing in disguise? Henderson has been great the past two weeks, and if this sort of usage and production continues, the “league winner” label could start getting slapped on him, because he’s been dominant! He’s scored five touchdowns over the last two weeks. He’s posted nearly six yards per carry over his last four games. Rhamondre Stevenson is likely to return in Week 12, but it would be criminal if the Patriots rely on Stevenson as the bell cow back, with Henderson on the back burner.
Jacoby Brissett, Arizona Cardinals
The Cardinals are done with Kyler Murray, and so are fantasy managers. Brissett is the QB4 in fantasy points per game since the NFL schedule flipped to Week 6! I state this emphatically; the QB4! The Cardinals have undoubtedly been pass-happy with Brissett, posting the second-highest pass rate over expectation, per FantasyPoints. Lastly, Brissett has multiple touchdown passes in all five of his starts and is averaging 15.6 rushing yards per game.
Nico Collins, Houston Texans
Apparently, the switch to Davis Mills was just what the doctor ordered. C.J. Stroud remains in concussion protocol, so it seems like Mills starts again in Week 12. Collins has 20+ fantasy points in each of the two games Mills has started. Also, he’s commanded a 27.9% target share and 114 yards per game! Unless something drastic happens, expect double-digit targets yet again for Collins in Week 12!
Who’s Not!
Dallas Goedert, Philadelphia Eagles
Fantasy managers viewed Goedert’s start to the season as consistent and reliable. However, it’s been anything but that since. He’s scored double-digit fantasy points just once in his last four games, and the usage has dwindled.

The team has also deployed him out wide more than in the slot, but his 0.76 yards per route run on the perimeter is far worse than his mark out of the slot (1.10) and inline (2.35), per FantasyPoints. In short, the usage isn’t maximizing Goedert’s abilities, and the fantasy production has been impacted.
Jacory Croskey-Merritt, Washington Commanders
Croskey-Merritt scored 28 fantasy points in Week 5, which accounted for 31.9% of his total fantasy points on the season. Since that game, he’s scored just 25.9 fantasy points! Additionally, he’s averaging 4.3 fantasy points per game over his last six contests! He’s losing the battle with Chris Rodriguez Jr. in the backfield, and the recent numbers for Croskey-Merritt are undeniably awful. In the previous six weeks, he’s posted 3.03 yards per carry and just 7.2 expected fantasy points per game, per FantasyPoints.
Marquise Brown, Kansas City Chiefs
So, we expected Rashee Rice’s return to impact the Kansas City pass attack. However, it has completely ruined Brown’s fantasy value. Hence, Brown is now an afterthought in the Kansas City offense. Through Week 6, Brown had a 19.7% target share and 20.9% first read rate, per FantasyPoints, largely serving as the team’s WR1. Since Rice has returned, those numbers sit at 8.8% and 9.5% respectively, per FantasyPoints. Furthermore, since Rice has returned, Brown has averaged just 6.7 fantasy points per game. All things considered, you can drop Brown from your teams accordingly.
Week 11 of the NFL Fantasy season is in the books, and thus, we are onto Week 12! Check in again next week for my weekly in-season series “Who’s Hot & Who’s Not” article and see who’s flying under the radar! Until then, follow me on X, @ColbyRConway, for more football!
