Detroit Lions kicker Jake Bates had an underwhelming game in Week 11, making just one field goal and missing his lone extra-point try in his team's 16-9 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. On paper, Bates has a much lighter matchup in Week 12, when the Lions host the New York Giants inside the domed Ford Field. In his career to this point, Bates is averaging 8.5 points per game at home, compared to 7.4 per game on the road. The Giants have also been one of the easiest teams for opposing offenses to light up the scoreboard against so far this season. New York enters Week 12 allowing 27.3 points per game and has allowed 31.2 points per game over the last five weeks. Bates could have plenty of chances to put points on the board for the Lions against the Giants and profiles as a must-start fantasy kicker in Week 12.

Detroit Lions running back David Montgomery was held in check by the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 11, recording 27 rushing yards on just six carries. Montgomery has now failed to score a touchdown in four out of his last five games, cracking 45 rushing yards just once in that span. While there's no question Montgomery has taken a backseat to Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs this season, there could be reason for optimism around Montgomery's outlook for Week 12 against the New York Giants. Through 11 weeks, New York is allowing the most yards per carry (5.5) to opposing running backs in the NFL. The Giants have also given up 15 rushing touchdowns, tied for second-most among NFL defenses. If there's a game for Montgomery to rediscover his touchdown-scoring ways, it could be against New York. Fantasy managers should view him as a solid RB2 option in Week 12.

With Detroit Lions tight end Sam LaPorta (back) on Injured Reserve due to a back injury, there's an opportunity for rookie wide receiver Isaac TeSlaa (oblique) to step up as a more consistent target-earner in Detroit. However, TeSlaa recorded zero catches on one target in the Lions' first game without LaPorta, a Week 11 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. TeSlaa has not earned more than one target in a game since Week 3 and has hauled in just four catches for the entire season. Additionally, he remains behind Kalif Raymond on his team's wide receiver depth chart and has played 18 fewer offensive snaps than Raymond in each of the last two weeks. TeSlaa is officially listed as questionable to play in Week 12 due to an oblique injury, but he played through the same injury in Week 11. The Lions have a favorable matchup on paper in Week 12 against the New York Giants, who have allowed the sixth-most passing yards (2,641) in the NFL through 11 weeks. Still, TeSlaa remains an unreliable option for fantasy managers until he proves to be a more consistent part of the Detroit passing game.

Detroit Lions wide receiver Kalif Raymond was blanked by the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 11, finishing the game with zero receptions on zero targets. The 31-year-old has just 13 receptions across 10 games this season, and he's gone without a catch in four out of his last six outings. On a more positive note, Raymond played 64% of Detroit's offensive snaps against Philadelphia, his highest rate since Week 1. With Lions tight end Sam LaPorta (back) on Injured Reserve due to a back injury, Detroit may be forced to lean more heavily on three-wide receiver sets. Raymond also gets a more favorable matchup on paper in Week 12 against the New York Giants. New York has allowed the sixth-most passing yards (2,641) in the NFL so far this season. Still, Raymond has not proven to be a consistent enough target-earner to be a fantasy-relevant producer so far this season. He remains a risky start in Week 12.

Detroit Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs was one of his team's lone bright spots in their 16-9 Week 11 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. Gibbs rushed for just 39 yards on 12 carries against the Eagles, but he hauled in five receptions for 107 yards on eight targets. The 23-year-old has now recorded at least 140 scrimmage yards in three out of his last four games and has already topped 1,000 scrimmage yards for the season. On paper, Gibbs has a good chance to extend his hot streak in Week 12 against the New York Giants. New York is allowing the most yards per carry (5.5) to opposing running backs in the NFL so far this season. There's also reason to believe that Gibbs will continue to feature heavily in Detroit's passing game. In the two games since Lions head coach Dan Campbell has taken over as the team's play-caller, Gibbs has been targeted 12 times. He profiles as a must-start fantasy running back in Week 12 against New York.
