Brandon Allen With One TD, One Pick In Week 12

Sunday, November 24, 10:50 PM

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brandon Allen didn't have much to work with during a 38-10 loss to the Packers in Green Bay on Sunday. Filling in for starter Brock Purdy (shoulder), the sixth-year career backup went 17-of-29 for 199 yards, one touchdown, and one interception. Allen was behind the eight ball from the beginning, getting his first start since the 2021 season on the road against a quality defense with future Hall of Fame left tackle Trent Williams (ankle) out. Allen wasn't perfect but made some quality throws, including the three-yard touchdown to tight end George Kittle. San Francisco's receivers didn't do Allen many favors, most notably Deebo Samuel Sr., who conspicuously dropped two passes, including the one that directly caused Allen's only interception. A number of drive-stalling offensive penalties and San Francisco's inability to win in the trenches on run plays didn't help, either. Purdy's status for Week 13 at Buffalo is still up in the air, so Allen could be in line for another start, but won't be recommended in standard leagues.

Michael Wilson: Tough To Trust In Divisional Clash

Saturday, November 23, 9:28 PM

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Michael Wilson should seldom be started this weekend when his team lines up against the Seattle Seahawks in a road tilt. The Stanford alum is a strong route-runner and currently leads his fellow wideouts in snaps. However, that is mainly due to teammate Marvin Harrison Jr. missing most of one game after sustaining a concussion. While Wilson has had a few viable fantasy performances this year, they've typically only taken place when he's gotten into the end zone. The Seahawks present as a middle-of-the-road matchup regarding their pass defense, so it's not exactly one to shy away from. Still, the 24-year-old is averaging just three receptions and 30.7 yards over his ten contests, so fantasy managers can likely find a better option to slot in his place. Wilson ranks as RotoBaller's PPR WR53 for this weekend's slate of action.
