Kenneth Walker III Has Opportunity to Break Out in Week 12
Seattle Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III (glute) popped up on the injury report on Friday, but head coach Mike Macdonald described it as precautionary and said that he is "fine to play" Sunday against the Tennessee Titans. Walker had one of his best games of the season in Week 11 against the Rams, handling 16 carries for 67 yards and a touchdown to go along with three receptions (three targets) for 44 yards. That marked his most receiving yards in a game this season, and the three targets were his most since Week 1. The 25-year-old also found the end zone for the first time since Week 3 when he scored twice with Zach Charbonnet inactive due to injury. Otherwise, Walker has been vultured time after time down near the goal line this season, but things have shifted more in Walker's favor recently. Macdonald said earlier in the week that Walker will see his opportunities increase moving forward, and he gets a great matchup in Week 12 against a Titans defense that has allowed the fifth most PPR points per game to opposing running backs.

Tommy Tremble Is off the Fantasy Radar for Week 12
Tommy Tremble had little involvement in the passing game in Week 11, but he made a game-changing impact on one singular play. During overtime, Tremble had his only reception for 54 yards. The catch set up the game-winning field goal against the Falcons. Outside of the one big play, Tremble was mainly utilized as a blocker. For the third straight week, Tremble logged the most snaps of any Carolina TE, at 58%. In Week 12, the Panthers will face the San Francisco 49ers, who rank 25th in Fantasy Points Per Game allowed to TEs this season (15.39). Although this is a favorable matchup for TEs, Tremble has not shown he can take advantage of it. Tremble has been targeted more than twice by Carolina QBs this season. He is off the fantasy radar in most leagues, regardless of scoring format.

Jalen Coker is Not Worth Fantasy Consideration for Week 12
Jalen Coker caught all four of his targets for 52 total yards and finished with 11.2 PPR points in Week 11. It was the first time this season that Coker registered double-digit PPR fantasy points. Carolina is facing the San Francisco 49ers in Week 12. They rank 28th in Fantasy Points Per Game Allowed to WRs this year. Although Coker has a great fantasy matchup, he simply doesn't produce enough to take advantage of the draw. He is behind Tetairoa McMillan and Xavier Legette on the depth chart and has yet to be targeted more than four times in a single game. Coker has not caught a TD pass or reached 55 receiving yards in five games played this year.

Josh Jacobs Will Test Out Knee During Pre-Game
The Green Bay Packers plan to work out running back Josh Jacobs (knee) during pre-game warmups before deciding if he will suit up against the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday, per Adam Schefter of ESPN. Jacobs practiced in a limited capacity on Thursday and Friday after missing Wednesday's practice, and his status is considered truly up in the air. The 27-year-old's knee is structurally sound, but it is supposedly still tender from last week. Jacobs is pushing to play; however, the Packers will also have a quick turnaround in Week 13 against the Lions on Thanksgiving. His pre-game warmup will be an important one to monitor on Sunday morning for fantasy managers with Jacobs and Emanuel Wilson, who would be a must-start if Jacobs can't go.
