Joe Burrow's Week 12 Fantasy Football Ranking & Injury Update

Joe Burrow's Week 12 Outlook

• 💡 Joe Burrow was a full participant in Thursday's practice but is still questionable for Sunday's game.
• 🏈 Experts are doubtful he will play due to the short week with a Thanksgiving game against the Ravens.
• 📈 If Burrow does play, he's projected as a low-end QB1, likely in the QB8 range, despite the Bengals' poor defense.

Key Injury Updates

• ⚠️ Bucky Irving has been ruled out for Week 12, with reports suggesting a more serious underlying issue beyond the injury report.
• 🩹 This absence clarifies the workload for Rashad White and Sean Tucker, who will split carries.
• 🚨 Chris Godwin practiced fully and is trending towards playing, but the offensive coordinator cautioned against expecting full snap counts due to his long layoff.

Running Back Considerations

• 📊 The Los Angeles Rams have a strong run defense, allowing the fewest rushing touchdowns and only Derrick Henry exceeding 67 rushing yards since Week 5.
• 🏈 For the Buccaneers, Sean Tucker is preferred over Rashad White for upside and touchdown potential, especially in a Sunday night game.
• ✅ If Josh Jacobs is out, Emanuel Wilson is a strong start due to guaranteed volume.

Risky Plays & Waiver Wire Targets

• 🚫 The Arizona Cardinals backfield is generally advised against due to uncertainty in usage and game script.
• 🎯 Trey Benson is a risky play, as Jacksonville's run defense statistically allows fewest rush yards and fantasy points to RBs.
• 🚀 Top Week 12 waiver targets include Trevor Lawrence, Christian Watson (high target share), and Kan Booty (recent touchdown production).
