The New York Jets are re-signing running back Ty Johnson to a one-year deal, ESPN reported Thursday.
Johnson, 25, rushed for 160 yards and a touchdown in 17 games (one start) for the Jets last season. He's fourth on the depth chart for the club.
Johnson has rushed for 925 yards and four TDs in 62 career games (six starts) for the Detroit Lions (2019-20) and Jets. He was selected in the sixth round of the 2019 draft by the Lions.
Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott completed 23 of 36 pass attempts for 354 passing yards, two passing touchdowns, and one interception during Sunday's Week 12 win over the Philadelphia Eagles. He also had nine rushing yards and one rushing touchdown. The Cowboys were held scoreless until the final seconds of the first half, when Dallas finally started to chip into its 21-0 deficit. From there, Prescott led three touchdown drives and ultimately got the Cowboys in position to kick a game-winning field goal in overtime. The 32-year-old has seven total touchdowns over his last two games and ranks as the overall QB5 in fantasy scoring so far. He should continue to be started in all leagues ahead of an intriguing showdown against the Kansas City Chiefs on Thanksgiving Day in Week 13.

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver George Pickens caught all nine of his targets for 146 yards and one touchdown during Sunday's Week 12 win over the Philadelphia Eagles. The 24-year-old has drastically exceeded expectations in his first season with Dallas; not only does he have higher stats than superstar teammate CeeDee Lamb, but he's also been more productive than nearly every receiver in the league. He currently ranks as the overall WR3 in PPR leagues this season, and he shows no signs of slowing down. Pickens' next chance of producing will come in Week 13 against the Kansas City Chiefs on Thanksgiving. He continues to be a must-start WR1 in all fantasy leagues despite Kansas City allowing the second-fewest points to wide receivers this year.

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (knee) will undergo an MRI as the team continues to evaluate his status, according to Nick Underhill of New Orleans Football. Kamara exited during the first half of Sunday's loss against the Atlanta Falcons and was quickly ruled out. He finished the game with just five touches and 15 scrimmage yards. New Orleans can't exactly afford another long-term running back injury, as Kendre Miller (knee) is already on injured reserve. If Kamara misses extended time, the Saints will be forced to proceed with rookie Devin Neal as their lead back. Neal has intriguing draft capital as a sixth-round pick, but he had just 17 total touches prior to this week. Kamara will have seven days to get healthy before the Saints return to action against the Miami Dolphins next Sunday.

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts completed 27 of his 39 pass attempts for 289 yards, one touchdown, and zero interceptions during Sunday's Week 12 loss against the Dallas Cowboys. He also had seven rushing attempts for a team-high 33 rushing yards, plus two additional touchdowns on the ground. Although the Eagles lost, fantasy managers will chalk this up to a productive game for the 27-year-old, especially since he hadn't scored multiple touchdowns in a single game since Week 8. In addition to his touchdown total and rushing yardage, it was very encouraging to see Hurts complete nearly 70% of his passes for almost 300 yards. He should be trusted as a strong QB1 option heading into Week 13 against the Chicago Bears.

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold completed 16 of his 26 pass attempts for 244 yards, two touchdowns, and zero interceptions during Sunday's Week 12 win over the Tennessee Titans. Darnold had seven turnovers over his last two games coming into this week, so it was refreshing to see him play clean, turnover-free football, albeit in a softer matchup against a subpar Titans defense. The veteran quarterback had his best fantasy performance since Week 9 and will remain in the mix as a high-end QB2 for Week 13 against the Minnesota Vikings in an exciting revenge game scenario. With that being said, Seattle could opt to go run-heavy against the Vikings, taking the ball out of Darnold's hands from time to time. Minnesota surrendered 146 rushing yards and two rushing touchdowns to the Packers in Week 12, whereas Jordan Love only threw for 139 yards and no scores.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin (fibula) is officially active for Sunday Night Football against the Los Angeles Rams in Week 12. He had been listed as questionable after practicing in a limited capacity this past Friday. Godwin has appeared in just two games this season, registering three catches for 26 yards in each of them. His latest absence spanned five games, but he's returning at a perfect time for the Bucs, who'll need all the help they can get against a strong Rams defense. Los Angeles has allowed the fourth-fewest touchdowns and 12th-fewest fantasy points to wide receivers in 2025. Godwin ranks as an RB3/flex in his role behind Emeka Egbuka.

Kansas City Chiefs running back Kareem Hunt had 33 carries for 104 rushing yards and one touchdown during Sunday's Week 12 win over the Indianapolis Colts. He also caught all three of his targets for an additional 26 receiving yards. The veteran running back hadn't handled more than 13 carries or 14 touches in a single game this season, so it was a bit surprising to see him finish with more than double both of those totals. The increased volume led to inflated counting stats, so while his 3.5 yards per carry aren't very intriguing, he still racked up enough yardage to produce as a top-12 running back in fantasy football this week. Isiah Pacheco (knee) could return next week and complicate the backfield dynamic, but Hunt should still be able to carve out a role for himself with standalone value as an RB3/flex.

Tennessee Titans rookie wide receiver Chimere Dike caught five of his seven targets for 44 yards and one receiving touchdown during Sunday's Week 12 loss against the Seattle Seahawks. He also had a 90-yard punt return touchdown. Dike's two touchdowns gave him a nice boost in fantasy football, rewarding managers who started him with the expectation that he'd perform well amidst injuries to Calvin Ridley (leg) and Elic Ayomanor (hamstring). The rookie will remain the top receiving option even after Ayomanor returns to action. He's a solid WR2 in an anticipated negative game script situation against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 13.

Chicago Bears wide receiver DJ Moore caught five of his seven targets for 64 yards and two touchdowns during Sunday's Week 12 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers. After two very underwhelming performances, Moore bounced back by tying his season-high in catches while scoring his second and third touchdowns of the season. Neither Moore nor teammate Rome Odunze has been consistent this season, but the latter has typically been more productive, so Sunday's performance certainly bucked a trend within the Bears' offense. The veteran receiver isn't guaranteed to have fantasy relevance every week going forward, but Week 12 showed that he's still capable of producing at an elite level. Moore is back in the high-end WR3 tier for Week 13 against the Philadelphia Eagles.

Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams gave fantasy managers a show during Sunday's game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. It was mostly good for Williams, but he did have some bad moments as well. The worst of the day was when Williams fumbled in the end zone which led to a Steelers touchdown. Outside of that, Williams was mostly solid as he completed 19-of-35 passing attempts for 239 yards and three touchdowns in the win. He didn't throw any interceptions and his lone turnover was that fumble in the first half. There have been some bad games, but fantasy managers have mostly been able to trust Williams on a weekly basis. He'll head into a tough matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles next week. Fantasy managers should trust him as a QB2 for that one.

Baltimore Ravens running back Derrick Henry struggled to find much room to run during Sunday's game against the New York Jets. Luckily for fantasy managers, Henry was able to find the end zone a few times or it would've been ugly outing. Henry rushed the ball 21 times for 64 yards with two touchdowns in the win over the Jets. His 3.0 yards per carry isn't ideal, but the volume of carries and his ability to find the end zone keeps him in RB1 territory. The veteran back will get an excellent matchup against the horrible Cincinnati Bengals run defense next week.
From RotoBaller
Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice basically carried the Chiefs' receiving game during Sunday's contest against the Indianapolis Colts. Rice was held in check for 38 yards last week, but managed to break out this weekend. He hauled in eight of his 12 targets for 141 yards and was held without a score in the overtime victory. He led the team in targets, receptions, and receiving yards during this game. Fantasy managers who stuck with Rice through his suspension are getting great results now. He should once again be an elite option in a favorable matchup against the Dallas Cowboys in Week 13.
From RotoBaller
Tennessee Titans quarterback Cameron Ward hasn't experienced a ton of success during his rookie campaign. Ward had a tough matchup against the Seattle Seahawks defense in Week 12, but he made the most of it. Ward completed 28-of-42 passing attempts for 256 yards and a touchdown in the loss. The rookie quarterback also carried the ball six times for 37 yards and an additional score. This was the first multi-score game of Ward's career that will hopefully have many more. The rookie quarterback is making the most of it with a limited cast of offensive playmakers. We'll see if he can build off this performance and have success against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 13.
From RotoBaller
New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (knee) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's Week 12 matchup against the Atlanta Falcons. Kamara twisted his knee in the first half of this contest. He went to the locker room and won't return for the second half of Sunday's game. He'll finish this game with three rushing attempts for 11 yards, while hauling in two receptions for an additional four yards. Devin Neal figures to take over as the lead back for the rest of this game. It's unclear at the moment if Kamara will be available for the Week 13 matchup against the Miami Dolphins.

Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown bounced back with a fantastic performance against the New York Giants in Week 12. Last week, St. Brown was held to two receptions, but he wouldn't be stopped this weekend. The superstar wideout hauled in nine of his 13 targets for a season-high 149 receiving yards and a touchdown in the win. His lone score came as an 11-yard grab in the second quarter. St. Brown will take his 75 receptions for 885 yards with nine touchdowns into a Thanksgiving matchup against the Green Bay Packers in Week 13. He'll be an obvious WR1 for that game and going forward for the rest of the season.

New England Patriots wide receiver Stefon Diggs caught just two of three targets for 20 yards during Sunday's Week 12 win over the Cincinnati Bengals. His underwhelming performance was likely the result of Drake Maye funneling a large portion of his pass attempts to the tight end position. Hunter Henry and Austin Hooper combined for 10 catches, 154 yards, and one touchdown against a Bengals defense notorious for getting exposed by tight ends. Diggs saw his streak of five double-digit fantasy performances (PPR) come to an end on Sunday afternoon, but he's still a mid-range WR2 in terms of scoring this year. He should continue to be started in most leagues ahead of Week 13 against the New York Giants.

New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye completed 22 of his 35 pass attempts for 294 yards, one touchdown, and one interception during Sunday's Week 12 win over the Cincinnati Bengals. He also rushed for 22 yards and took a sack. Maye wasn't able to rack up high-end fantasy scoring, but his significant yardage total and strong final three quarters helped New England cruise to its ninth consecutive victory. The Patriots are the first team to 10 wins and have sole possession of first place in the entire NFL, largely thanks to Maye's spectacular season. Even though Sunday's outing didn't set the world on fire, his track record indicates that he should have no trouble bouncing back as a strong QB1 option against a subpar Giants defense in Week 13.
From RotoBaller
Green Bay Packers running back Emanuel Wilson had 28 carries for 107 rushing yards and two rushing touchdowns during Sunday's Week 12 win over the Minnesota Vikings. He also caught each of his two targets for an additional 18 receiving yards. Wilson was very impressive was handling a large workload on Sunday. With Josh Jacobs (knee) sidelined, he accounted for 78% of the backfield's rushing attempts. The 26-year-old's ability to be efficient while handling heavy volume should earn him more opportunities going forward, even if Jacobs returns to action next week. The Packers face the Detroit Lions on Thanksgiving, giving Jacobs four days to recover. If the veteran back suits up, Wilson could still carve out standalone value as an RB3/flex. If Jacobs misses a second consecutive game, though, the Fort Valley State product could jump to the high-end RB2 tier against Detroit.
From RotoBaller
Las Vegas Raiders tight end Michael Mayer (ankle) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's Week 12 contest against the Cleveland Browns. He exited during the first half and was initially listed as questionable before being downgraded to out. He finishes the game with one catch for 14 yards. Mayer impressed earlier this season while filling in for the injured Brock Bowers, but ever since Bowers returned, Mayer has not been a fantasy scoring threat. Ian Thomas will step up as Vegas' No. 2 tight end behind Bowers.
From RotoBaller
New England Patriots tight end Hunter Henry caught seven of his 10 targets for 115 yards and one touchdown during Sunday's Week 12 win over the Cincinnati Bengals. It's no secret that Cincinnati is the worst team in the NFL when it comes to defending opposing tight ends, and Henry capitalized on this favorable matchup. The veteran entered this week as the overall TE13 in PPR leagues, but he jumped all the way into the top five on Sunday afternoon. He's unlikely to replicate this outing next Thursday against the New York Giants, but he's still worth starting as a low-end TE1 in fantasy football.
