Cincinnati Bengals running back Tahj Brooks (concussion) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's Week 12 contest against the New England Patriots. He was initially listed as questionable while being evaluated, but shortly after, the team downgraded him to out. Brooks finishes Week 12 with five rushing yards on two carries, as well as one uncaught target. On special teams, his lone return went for 20 yards. With Samaje Perine (ankle) sidelined, Gary Brightwell will take over as the No. 2 running back behind Chase Brown for the rest of Sunday's game.

Cincinnati Bengals running back Tahj Brooks (head) exited during the third quarter of Sunday's Week 12 contest against the New England Patriots to be evaluated for a concussion. According to an announcement from the team, he is officially listed as questionable to return. It's possible that he suffered the injury while returning the Patriots' kick at the start of the second half. At the time of his departure, Brooks had five rushing yards on two carries, as well as one uncaught target. On special teams, his lone return went for 20 yards. With Samaje Perine (ankle) sidelined, Gary Brightwell will take over as the No. 2 running back behind Chase Brown until Brooks can return.

Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Brenton Strange (hip) is officially active for his team's Week 12 matchup against the Arizona Cardinals. Strange has been on Injured Reserve since Week 5 due to a hip injury. Across five games before getting hurt, the 24-year-old recorded 20 catches for 204 yards on 24 targets. With wide receivers Travis Hunter (knee) on Injured Reserve and Brian Thomas Jr. (ankle) sidelined in Week 12 by an ankle injury, Strange has a chance to emerge as one of the lead pass-catching options for Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence. Still, Jacksonville could choose to bring him along slowly in his first game back from injury against the Cardinals. Fantasy managers may want to proceed with caution with Strange in Week 12, but he's a name to monitor on the waiver wire for the stretch run of the fantasy season.

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (ankle) is officially active for Sunday's Week 12 contest against the Atlanta Falcons. He had been listed as questionable after practicing in a limited capacity. After a quiet stretch near the middle of the season, Kamara bounced back with a huge impact in his most recent game, tallying 83 rushing yards on 22 carries, plus an additional three catches for 32 receiving yards. We're still seeing flashes of Kamara being a versatile threat out of the backfield, operating as both a talented pure rusher and a valuable checkdown or short outlet for rookie quarterback Tyler Shough. Coming off his bye, Kamara ranks as a fringe top-24 fantasy running back against Atlanta, especially in PPR leagues. We could see him occasionally be spelled by rookie Devin Neal, who had seven touches on a 35% snap share in his last game. Still, Kamara remains the undisputed primary running back in New Orleans.
