4 days agoNew York Jets quarterback
Aaron Rodgers completed 22 of his 35 passes for 151 yards but failed to throw any touchdowns in a 31-6 loss to the Arizona Cardinals in Week 10. Rodgers and the entire Jets offense came up short in what appeared to be a decent matchup against the Arizona defense on paper. He got off to an especially painful start, throwing for just 40 yards in the first half. Things picked up a bit after halftime but it was still a disappointing performance for the entire New York offense. Rodgers will hope to bounce back heading into a Week 11 matchup against the Indianapolis Colts.

4 days agoTampa Bay Buccaneers running back
Bucky Irving was able to put together a solid performance on the ground during Sunday's game against the San Francisco 49ers. The rookie back rushed the ball 13 times for 73 yards and a touchdown in the loss. He also hauled in all three of his targets for 14 additional yards through the air. Irving has been impressive this season, but his ceiling is limited with
Rachaad White splitting up the carries with him in the backfield. Despite that, Irving should remain a fine flex option for the Week 12 matchup against the New York Giants.

4 days agoIndianapolis Colts wide receiver
Josh Downs led his team in targets and receptions in Sunday's 30-20 loss to the Bills, hauling in seven of 10 passes thrown his way for 72 yards. While it was productive and what fantasy managers have grown accustomed to from him, it could have been better had he not dropped what would have been an easy score early on in the game. Still, it was the third straight game in which the former third-round pick has recorded at least nine targets and sixth time in eight games that he's reached that level, affording him plenty of opportunities for receptions and a solid weekly floor. The 23-year-old will have a more difficult task in Week 11 as the Colts take on a Jets defense that has been great at limiting fantasy points to opposing receivers. Downs likely projects as a fringe WR2 next Sunday so long as
Joe Flacco remains under center.

4 days agoTampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback
Baker Mayfield was held in check by the San Francisco 49ers defense on Sunday. Mayfield has been incredible throughout most of the season, but didn't have the same success this weekend. He completed 18-of-29 passing attempts for 116 yards and one touchdown in the three-point loss. Mayfield showed heart in this game and even stiff armed his way to giving his team the lead with less than a minute left. Fantasy managers shouldn't get frustrated by this performance. Mayfield is likely to get wide receiver
Mike Evans (hamstring) back after the bye week. The expectation is that Mayfield will resume his QB1 ways in Week 12 against the New York Giants.

4 days agoPhiladelphia Eagles quarterback
Jalen Hurts completed 14 of 20 pass attempts for 202 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception in Sunday's 34-6 victory over the Dallas Cowboys. He added two touchdowns and 56 yards on his seven carries. Hurts was sacked quite a bit in the first half, but Philadelphia molly-whopped their divisional opponent in this one -- controlling the game from start to finish. It's the fourth straight contest in which the 26-year-old scored a rushing touchdown and the third time in that stretch with more than one of them. The fifth-year QB could have had an even bigger day but was benched for teammate
Kenny Pickett early in the fourth quarter with the game out of hand. It's another superb performance for Hurts, who has totaled 16 TDs with just two turnovers since the team's Week 5 bye. Philadelphia will get another divisional matchup in Week 11 when they square off against the visiting Washington Commanders.

4 days agoBuffalo Bills wide receiver
Mack Hollins caught all four of his targets for 86 yards in the team's 30-20 victory over the Indianapolis Colts. He led Buffalo in receiving yards. Hollins made the most of his increased playing time with
Amari Cooper (wrist) and
Keon Coleman (wrist) sidelined. He and
Curtis Samuel primarily manned the outside receiver spots. Most of his production came on a 44-yard completion to set up a last-second field goal before halftime. Hollins will revert to a secondary role if Cooper and Coleman can return against the Chiefs.

4 days agoBuffalo Bills wide receiver
Khalil Shakir caught six of nine targets for 58 yards in the team's victory over the Indianapolis Colts. It was a mostly quiet afternoon for the Bills slot receiver, who needed a 30-yard reception late in the fourth quarter to avoid a disappointing stat line. Shakir missed on three targets, matching his season total entering Week 10. Fantasy managers were expecting more from Shakir with
Amari Cooper (wrist) and
Keon Coleman (wrist) sidelined, but he didn't completely burn those who started him. His slot role did not change with their absence. Shakir will be in the WR3/flex range next week against the Chiefs.

4 days agoBuffalo Bills running back
James Cook rushed 19 times for 80 yards and scored a touchdown in the team's 30-20 win over the Indianapolis Colts. He also caught one pass for five yards. Without starting wide receivers
Amari Cooper (wrist) and
Keon Coleman (wrist) and playing with a lead for the entire second quarter, Cook saw plenty of usage. The exclamation point of his afternoon was a two-yard touchdown plunge with three minutes remaining in the fourth quarter. Cook draws a matchup against a stout Kansas City run defense in Week 11.

4 days agoMinnesota Vikings running back
Aaron Jones (chest) appears to have escaped Sunday's 12-7 victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars without a serious injury. Jones was carted to the locker late into the third quarter after sustaining a chest injury, but his x-rays were negative, and he would return to the contest. Fortunately for the 29-year-old, he was able to close out the game, participating in the team's final two drives. He was seen in the locker room after the game, wearing his typical post-game garb (a sombrero), and seemed jovial when speaking with reporters. When asked how he felt, Jones replied, "A little sore, but mentality is everything. I feel strong...it's about these guys in this locker room, and that's why I went back out there." Fantasy managers will want to keep an eye on his practice status this coming week, but it doesn't seem like he should miss any time. Minnesota will travel to Nissan Stadium to face off against the Tennessee Titans in Week 11.

4 days agoThe New England Patriots defense had a field day against the Chicago Bears, surrendering just three points while sacking rookie quarterback
Caleb Williams nine times. The unit didn't register a turnover, but it did tally 13 tackles for loss and five passes defended. In the end, the Bears registered just 69 net passing yards and 73 rushing yards as they fell to 4-5 and the Patriots improved to 3-7. New England's defense is trending upward, but they're tough to trust in fantasy football against an impressive Los Angeles Rams offensive attack in Week 11.

4 days agoBuffalo Bills quarterback
Josh Allen completed 22 of 37 passes for 280 yards and two interceptions in the team's 30-20 victory over the Indianapolis Colts. That broke his four-game streak of at least two passing touchdowns. However, Allen rushed for 50 yards on eight carries and scored on one attempt from 13 yards out in the second quarter. Without top receivers
Amari Cooper (wrist) and
Keon Coleman (wrist) in the lineup, Allen relied on his legs more than he has in recent weeks. The Bills host an outstanding Kansas City defense in Week 11.

4 days agoIndianapolis Colts running back
Jonathan Taylor rushed 21 times for 114 yards in Sunday's 30-20 loss to the Bills, tacking on two receptions for eight yards. While it was an overall good day for the 25-year-old back, 58 of his rush yards came on a single play with five minutes left in the first quarter, so he was held somewhat in check afterward. Also, to the dismay of fantasy managers, running back
Tyler Goodson -- not Taylor -- was on the receiving end of a
Joe Flacco touchdown pass despite not receiving a single carry in the contest. Nevertheless, it was the fifth time in the last six games Taylor has played that the former second-round pick has gone over 100 total yards. He'll be an RB1 again in Week 11 against a Jets defense that has yielded five rushing touchdowns in their last four games, including allowing
James Conner to go over 100 total yards and a score in Week 10.

4 days agoNew England Patriots kicker
Joey Slye went 4-for-4 on field goals and also converted his lone extra-point attempt during Sunday's Week 10 win over the Chicago Bears. Slye was responsible for more than two-thirds of New England's scoring in the victory. He converted kicks from 25, 30, 33, and 37 yards in the effort. The 28-year-old had been quiet over the last handful of weeks, but he bounced back in a huge way in Chicago. Still, he needs to be more consistent before fantasy managers can trust him in their lineups. His next chance to do so will come in Week 11 against the Los Angeles Rams.

4 days agoNew England Patriots tight end
Hunter Henry converted four targets into just one reception for 14 yards during Sunday's Week 10 win over the Chicago Bears. Henry had caught 23 passes for 234 yards and one touchdown over the previous four weeks, so his quiet showing in Chicago was not only disappointing but also surprising for many fantasy managers. Heading into Week 11 against the Los Angeles Rams, Henry is a TE2 with TE1 upside.

4 days agoTennessee Titans wide receiver
Calvin Ridley hauled in five receptions on nine targets for 84 yards and two touchdowns in the 27-17 defeat to Los Angeles. With quarterback
Will Levis back in the lineup, Ridley did not miss a beat, enjoying his best performance of the season with almost 23 half-PPR points. The speedster got the scoring going early, beating his single coverage with ease and coasting into the end-zone on a perfect ball from Levis. Ridley dominated the attention from his quarterback overall, registering a 39% target share on the afternoon, the next closest Titan only drawing three looks. While it's been quite the roller coaster season thus far for the high-dollar offseason acquisition, Ridley has posted 20+ PPR points in two of his last three games, finally showing some signs of consistency which has turned him into a must-start fantasy asset. Up next is a meeting with the Minnesota Vikings at home, a team that is much easier to throw against than run on.
