As NFL Week 12 kicks off, fans and fantasy managers are eager for the latest news on active rosters and injury updates. This is the ultimate guide to help guide your fantasy lineups and betting strategies!

Player Highlights: Sunday 1 PM Kickoff

Injury Updates:

- **Isiah Pacheco (RB, Chiefs)** - *Out* Coach Andy Reid has officially ruled Pacheco out for the matchup against the Panthers. With Pacheco sitting out, look to **Kareem Hunt** to capitalize on the starting role, despite a dip in production last week.

- **Mike Evans (WR, Buccaneers)** - *Active* After returning to practice, Evans is ready to go! With teammate **Chris Godwin** on injured reserve, he emerges as Baker Mayfield's top target—critical for those in PPR formats.

- **Tyreek Hill (WR, Dolphins)** - *Active* Despite nursing a wrist injury, Hill is in the lineup. Keep an eye on **Jonnu Smith**, who showcased a stellar performance last week, setting up potential for a strong TE play this week.

- **D’Andre Swift (RB, Bears)** - *Active* Swift practiced fully and is set to play. **Roschon Johnson** could see increased carries, so monitor how the backfield workload splits.

- **Keenan Allen (WR, Bears)** - *Active* Allen is cleared to play following an ankle sprain. With a new offensive coordinator, the Chicago offense may see a revitalization, impacting fantasy outputs across the board.

Notable Inactives:

- **Brandin Cooks (WR, Cowboys)** - *Out/Injured Reserve* While Cooks is sidelined, **CeeDee Lamb** continues to dominate in targets despite the Cowboys’ ongoing struggles.

- **Jake Ferguson (TE, Cowboys)** - *Out* With Ferguson unavailable, consider **Luke Schoonmaker** for a desperate TE option as he showed promise last week.
