Oronde Gadsden Trending Down Going into Bye Week
Los Angeles Chargers rookie tight end Oronde Gadsden ranks as the TE12 in half-PPR fantasy points per game through the first nine games of his NFL career. Gadsden has developed strong chemistry with quarterback Justin Herbert and has 37 catches on 49 targets for 507 yards and two touchdowns going into the team's Week 12 bye. However, the 22-year-old hasn't scored since Oct. 19. Gadsden has cooled off a bit since back-to-back weeks of finding the end zone in Weeks 7 and 8, but he's had at least five targets in a game since all the way back in Week 5. The primary concern for Gadsden's fantasy managers going forward is the Chargers' banged-up offensive line, which might give quarterback Justin Herbert very little time to throw the football in the final stretch of the season against some tough opponents. The fifth-rounder could return with a bang in Week 13 against the Raiders, so fantasy managers shouldn't give up hope just yet.

Harrison Butker Could Find Success In Week 12
Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker will face the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday in Week 12. Butker has struggled this season, and his struggles continued last week against the Denver Broncos. Butker knocked through both of his field goal attempts, but missed one of his two extra-point attempts in Week 11. Butker has an 84.2% field goal percentage and 85.7% extra-point percentage this season, both marks rank outside the top-20 at the position. That said, Butker should be involved in a shootout against Indianapolis this week. The Colts offense has the most yards and points scored this season, which means the Chiefs will need to put a lot of points on the board to keep up. Butker should get a piece of the action and could provide value at the kicker position. Butker is ranked K9 in our RotoBaller rankings, making him worthy of a start in most leagues.

Daniel Jones "Good to Go" for Week 12
Indianapolis Colts head coach Shane Steichen said that quarterback Daniel Jones (leg) is "good-to-go" for his team's Week 12 matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs. Steichen also clarified that Jones' injury is actually to his fibula after it was initially reported as a calf issue, per James Boyd of The Athletic. Either way, Jones was able to practice in full on Friday after being limited on Thursday and will be active against Kansas City. Jones has played well in his first season in Indianapolis, completing 69.9% of his pass attempts for 2,659 yards, 15 touchdowns, and seven interceptions across 10 games. He's also added 143 yards and five touchdowns as a rusher. However, Jones has been particularly turnover-prone of late, recording four interceptions and six fumbles (three lost) over his last two games. That could be an issue in a tough road matchup against Kansas City, particularly if his mobility is limited in any way. Jones profiles as a low-end fantasy QB1 in Week 12.

Dillon Gabriel Returns to Practice on Friday, Still Not Fully Cleared
Cleveland Browns quarterback Dillon Gabriel (concussion) returned to practice on Friday but has still not fully cleared the league's concussion protocol, according to Mary Kay Cabot of Cleveland.com. Gabriel was forced to exit early from Cleveland's Week 11 loss to the Baltimore Ravens after suffering a concussion and will miss the team's Week 12 matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders as well. With Gabriel sidelined, fellow rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders will make his first NFL start against Las Vegas. While a monster performance from Sanders could change things, Gabriel is expected to resume starting duties in Cleveland once cleared to return from his concussion. Given that he was able to return to practice in some capacity on Friday, Gabriel's return could come when the Browns will host the San Francisco 49ers in Week 13.
