Bye Week Schedule
Week 12: Broncos, Chargers, Commanders, Dolphins
Week 13: None
Buffalo Bills at Houston Texans (TNF)
Buffalo Bills
Team: Week 12 marks the start of a four-game road stretch in five weeks. They play at Houston, Pittsburgh, New England, and Cleveland, with a home game against Cincinnati in the middle.
QB: Josh Allen moved to the top spot for the PFSN Quarterback Impact Rankings (QBi) season leader. Allen has finished in the top three every season since 2020.
Offense: Buffalo has committed six turnovers in the last two games after committing six in the first eight games.
Defense: The Bills have forced eight turnovers in their last four games. Buffalo forced five turnovers in the first six games.
Fantasy: Over the past month, Josh Allen has had more games with multiple rush TD than multiple pass TD. As good as he’s been, none of his pass catchers are consistent enough to lock in (Khalil Shakir had -3 receiving yards on Sunday, a game in which Buffalo scored 44 points).
Houston Texans
Team: Houston has won two straight one-possession games. All five of the Texans’ losses have been by eight points or fewer.
QB: The Texans have won two straight games with Davis Mills as the starter. It’s only the second time Houston has won back-to-back games with Mills starting. Mills started 26 games in 2021 and 2022.
Offense: Houston has scored 26 points or more in three of five home games. The Texans have scored 19 points or fewer in four of five road games.
Defense: The Texans have allowed 16.3 points per game and 258.1 total offense yards per game. The Bills have averaged 29.2 points per game and 387.4 total yards of offense per game this season.
Fantasy: Nico Collins has seen at least 25% of the targets funneled his way in three straight games and has multiple deep looks in four straight. It’s been a slow burn, but he’s trending up at the right time.
New York Jets at Baltimore Ravens
New York Jets
Team: New York is one loss away from having a losing record in ten straight seasons.
QB: Tyrod Taylor has qualified for a QBi score three times this season. He has two C+ grades and one D+ grade.
Offense: The Jets’ 139.9 pass yards per game is the lowest in the NFL. The next lowest is the Browns at 159.3 pass yards per game.
Defense: New York has created one turnover this season with no interceptions. No team has gone a whole season without intercepting a pass in the Super Bowl era. The lowest since 1966 is the 2018 49ers, which had two interceptions.
Fantasy: Breece Hall set a new bar for running backs in terms of rushing yards gained against the Patriots in a game this season (58), but the limitations of this offense continue to limit his upside. We are nearing Thanksgiving, and Hall has been held without a rushing touchdown in all but one contest.
Baltimore Ravens
Team: Baltimore plays the next three games at home before finishing on the road for three of the last four games. The Ravens travel to Cincinnati, Green Bay, and Pittsburgh.
QB: Lamar Jackson has been sacked 23 times in seven games in 2025; he was sacked 23 times in 17 games last season. He’s been sacked at least five times in two games this season. Coming into the season, he only had three career games with at least five sacks.
Offense: Derrick Henry has 80.7 rush yards per game with seven rushing touchdowns through ten games. Last season, through ten games, Henry was averaging 112.0 rush yards per game with 12 rush touchdowns.
Defense: The Ravens achieved a PFSN Defense Impact score (DEFi) of 90.5 (A-) against the Browns in Week 11. This marked their highest score since Week 17 of last season.
Fantasy: Zay Flowers doesn’t get the hype of other WR1s because of how the Baltimore offense is structured, but the fact that he has 10 more catches than any of his teammates has targets this season makes him a weekly lineup lock.
Pittsburgh Steelers at Chicago Bears
Pittsburgh Steelers
Team: Pittsburgh’s final seven games include three games against teams currently in a playoff spot and two games with the Ravens, who trail the Steelers by one game in the AFC North.
QB: Aaron Rodgers has a 69.0 (D+) QBi this season. It’s the third time he’s had a season at a D+ level (2015, 2022).
Offense: The Steelers have committed eight turnovers in their four losses, but only two in their six wins.
Defense: Pittsburgh scored an 83.8 (B) DEFi against the Bengals in Week 11. It was the second-highest score of the season.
Fantasy: DK Metcalf opened the season with four straight games in which he didn’t catch a deep pass, and he’s stuck in another string of four straight such games, a flaw that isn’t likely to reverse with Aaron Rodgers (wrist) ailing.
Chicago Bears
Team: The Bears have won five games in which they were trailing with two minutes left in the game.
QB: Caleb Williams has been sacked at least twice in five of the ten games. Last season, he was sacked at least twice in 15 of 17 games. The Bears are first in Offensive Live Impact rankings (OLi) after finishing 22nd last season.
Offense: The Bears are 5-0 when not turning the ball over. There are 2-3 when they commit at least one turnover. In the two wins, the Bears had four takeaways in each game.
Defense: Chicago is the only team to force at least three turnovers in five games. Jacksonville is second with four such games.
Fantasy: Caleb Williams has failed to throw more than a single TD pass in five of his eight career games against the AFC, completing just 61.5% of his attempts across those contests.
New England Patriots at Cincinnati Bengals
New England Patriots
Team: New England has trailed a total of 5 minutes, 33 seconds in the second half during its eight-game win streak. Only Buffalo and Tampa Bay have held a second-half lead against New England.
QB: Drake Maye has four games with at least two touchdown passes and no interceptions. He had one game with multiple touchdown passes with no interceptions as a rookie.
Offense: TreVeyon Henderson has averaged 84.8 rush yards per game over the last four games. He averaged 21.9 rush yards per game in his first seven career games. His rush attempts jumped from 6.1 in the first seven games to 14.3 in the four.
Defense: The Patriots have allowed 7.8 PPG in the second half during their eight-game win streak. Only the Bills and Buccaneers have scored over ten points in the second half.
Fantasy: TreVeyon Henderson gets the attention, and he should, but Stefon Diggs has quietly scored double-digit PPR points in five straight, the longest streak by a Patriot receiver since Jakobi Meyers to open the 2022 season.
Cincinnati Bengals
Team: Cincinnati’s -106-point differential is the second-worst in the league, ahead of only the Titans.
QB: In Week 11, Joe Flacco’s QBi score was 69.7 (D+). In his first four games with the Bengals, he achieved grades of C or B-.
Offense: Cincinnati has committed at least three turnovers four times this season. They had five total games with at least three turnovers over the last three seasons.
Defense: The Bengals recorded a DEFi score of 72.3 (C-) in Week 11 against the Steelers. It snapped a six-game streak of having a grade of D+ or worse.
Fantasy: Tee Higgins has scored on 22.7% of his Joe Flacco receptions this season (career otherwise: 10.5%).
New York Giants at Detroit Lions
New York Giants
Team: The Giants are 0-4 on the road when they have led by 10+ points.
QB: Jameis Winston recorded a QBi score of 80.3 (B-) in Week 11 against the Packers. It is his 22nd-best score in 90 career qualified games.
Offense: The Giants’ PFSN Defense Impact score (OFFi) of 70.0 (C-) is an improvement from the 62.7 (D-) in 2024 and 56.2 (F) in 2023.
Defense: New York currently has a 65.9 (D) DEFi score for the season. It matches the franchise’s lowest score since 2000. In 2015, Tom Coughlin’s last season as head coach, the Giants also had a 65.9 DEFi score.
Fantasy: Over the past three weeks, Tyrone Tracy Jr. has started each of them, but his snap share (54.9%) is hardly ahead of Devin Singletary (45.1%), and he has just two red zone touches over that stretch (Singletary: 15).
Detroit Lions
Team: According to PFSN Analytics, the loss to Philadelphia dropped Detroit’s chances of winning the NFC North dropped 18.8% to 28.3%.
QB: Jared Goff had a 67.8 (D+) QBi in Week 11. It’s his lowest since posting a 65.7 (D) in Week 5 of the 2022season.
Offense: Detroit registered a 63.8 (D) OFFi against the Eagles in Week 11. It’s the lowest OFFi score since Dan Campbell became head coach in 2021.
Defense: The Lions’ 82.5 (B-) DEFi score against the Eagles was fourth best of the season. The score ranked 6th in the NFL for Week 11, marking the sixth time the Lions have ranked in the top eight for a week.
Fantasy: In the two games since Dan Campbell took over playcalling duties, Jameson Williams has six catches for 108 yards and two TDs on first downs (in his first eight games this season: six catches for 123 yards and zero touchdowns in such spots).
Minnesota Vikings at Green Bay Packers
Minnesota Vikings
Team: The Vikings (4-6) have a losing record through ten games for the first time since 2020.
QB: J.J. McCarthy’s season QBi of 55.4 (F) ranks 35th out of 38 qualified quarterbacks this season.
Offense: Justin Jefferson has 56 receptions and 747 receiving yards, which are his lowest totals since his rookie season through his first ten games of a season. His two touchdowns are a career low through ten games.
Defense: The Vikings’ DEFi season score of 66.6 (D) is the franchise’s lowest since 2006.
Fantasy: Justin Jefferson is getting “targets” with J.J. McCarthy under center, but the air quotes are more important than the word in the middle: he’s caught just 51.2% of his looks in games that McCarthy started, down from 68% in Carson Wentz’s starts.
Green Bay Packers
Team: Green Bay finishes with five of seven games against NFC North teams, including a road game against Detroit. The other two games are a trip to face the Broncos and a home game against the Ravens.
QB: Jordan Love’s QBi score of 79.1 (C+) was 7th in the league for Week 11. It was the 8th time in ten games that Love ranked in the QBi Top Ten. He’s 4th overall on the season rankings.
Offense: Green Bay has seven turnovers this season and is 1-3-1 when it has at least one turnover. The Packers are 5-0 when they don’t turn the ball over.
Defense: Micah Parsons led the NFL in Week 11 with a PFSN EDGE Impact Rankings (EDGEi) score of 85.8, earning a grade of B. It’s the second week he’s had a top EDGEi in the league. Overall, he’s 11th in the league for the season.
Fantasy: Jordan Love struggled against the Minnesota pressure last season, completing just 10-of-27 passes when feeling the heat with more interceptions (two) than touchdowns (one). On the whole, in 2024, he averaged 15.4% fewer fantasy points per pass against the divisional rival than the rest of the NFL.
Indianapolis Colts at Kansas City Chiefs
Indianapolis Colts
Team: A win would give the Colts their 9th win before the end of November for the first time since 2009. Indianapolis lost to the Saints in the Super Bowl that season.
QB: Daniel Jones is second in the NFL with a QBi score of 90.5 (A-). His previous best season was in 2022 with a 77.5 (C+) QBi. He recorded his two lowest grades against the Steelers (C) and Falcons (C-) before the Colts’ bye.
Offense: Jonathan Taylor’s 95.9 Running Back Impact Rankings (RBi) score leads the NFL and is the second-highest since 2013. Alvin Kamara has the highest score with 99.4 (A+) achieved in 2017.
