5 days agoLas Vegas Raiders kicker
Daniel Carlson made both his field goals, attempts of 22 and 27 yards, and nailed his only extra point try in his team's loss to the Miami Dolphins in Week 11. Though he didn't face too difficult of a test, at least he didn't miss any of his kicks, which is more than can be said for other kickers. Regardless, it wasn't a great week for him for fantasy football, and he continues to see very little volume, which he would need to be fantasy relevant. He'll face the Denver Broncos in Week 12, who have a defense that will likely limit the Raiders' scoring potential. Denver boasts an excellent defense that just aided the team in winning a 38-6 blasting over the Atlanta Falcons.

Cameron Dicker had an excellent game in a Week 11 win over the Cincinnati Bengals. Dicker attempted two field goals and made them both and also added four extra points on his four tries. Dicker's first field goal came from 19 yards out at the end of the first half, and his second was a 53-yarder in the third quarter. He's remained consistent at one of fantasy football's least reliable positions, and should once again be a top-10 option next week against the Baltimore Ravens.

5 days agoLas Vegas Raiders rookie tight end
Brock Bowers was targeted 16 times in Week 11 against the Miami Dolphins, catching 13 of those passes for 126 yards and a touchdown. He was once again the lone bright spot in the team's loss, as no other offensive or defensive player on his team shined as bright as he did. It's becoming a common theme in his inaugural season, and it seems set to continue. As long as quarterback
Gardner Minshew II starts, at least. But he's an elite player at his position already, and it seems that any QB that plays for this team would be well served in spamming the ball in his direction. He's an elite TE option in fantasy and should be started every week from now on, even in Week 11 against a tough Denver Broncos defense.

5 days agoLos Angeles Chargers wide receiver
Joshua Palmer made two catches in a Week 11 win over the Cincinnati Bengals. Palmer was targeted four times, making the two grabs for a total of 23 yards. Palmer has made two or fewer catches for four games in a row and has scored just one touchdown so far. He's playing a fairly important role in the "real life" Chargers offense, but it hasn't translated into any kind of consistent fantasy value and that's unlikely to change. Palmer and the Chargers will play on Monday Night Football in Week 12 against the Baltimore Ravens.

5 days agoLos Angeles Chargers wide receiver
Quentin Johnston scored another touchdown in Week 11, his sixth of the season. Johnston was targeted eight times but only came down with two catches, totaling 48 yards. His touchdown came on a 26-yard pass from
Justin Herbert in the second quarter. Johnston has seen a lot of red zone and end zone targets this season and has really boosted his value by scoring touchdowns, but he hasn't been particularly efficient. Johnston has improved on the drop issues that plagued him in his rookie season, but he still has more work to do before he can consistently be relied upon as a WR2/3 option in fantasy football.

5 days agoThe Las Vegas Raiders D/ST continued to show fantasy managers that they're not worth rostering in any leagues. They allowed the opposing Miami Dolphins offense to score 34 points in Week 11, allowing them to succeed in both the passing and rushing games. Dolphins quarterback
Tua Tagovailoa threw for 288 yards and three touchdowns and running back
De'Von Achane rushed for a touchdown. The Raiders allowed Miami to ice the game by leaving their tight end,
Jonnu Smith, absolutely wide open for a long touchdown. The busted coverage wasn't a surprise coming from the #31 ranked fantasy defense. They'll face another tough test when they take on the Denver Broncos in Week 12 -- they just blew out the Atlanta Falcons 38-6.

5 days agoLos Angeles Chargers tight end
Will Dissly scored a touchdown in a Week 11 win over the Cincinnati Bengals. Dissly was targeted six times and made four catches for 80 yards. His touchdown came on a 29-yard pass from
Justin Herbert near the end of the first quarter. Dissly has become much more heavily involved in the passing game lately, and he's quickly working his way into the lower-end TE1 conversation. He and the Bolts will take on the Baltimore Ravens next week on Monday Night Football.

5 days agoLas Vegas Raiders running back
Ameer Abdullah rushed just one time for one yard and caught three passes for 16 yards, but one of those receptions went for a touchdown in his team's Week 11 loss to the Miami Dolphins. Teammate
Alexander Mattison (ankle) was pulled from the game with an ankle injury, allowing Abdullah to earn some playing time. He capitalized by finding the end zone. It's not known whether Mattison will play in Week 11, but even if he doesn't, Abdullah may have to compete with
Zamir White (quad). If neither can play, it's probably not worth starting him anyway, as he will fact a stiff Denver Broncos defense in Week 12 that just held Atlanta Falcons running back
Bijan Robinson to 63 total yards and 2.9 yards per carry.

5 days agoLas Vegas Raiders wide receiver
Jakobi Meyers caught just four passes on six targets for 28 yards and rushed for an additional 28 yards, netting him 8.8 PPR points in fantasy football on the week as his team fell to the Miami Dolphins 19-34. It was a quieter day than usual for Meyers, and he had less than half the target volume of teammate tight end
Brock Bowers. Meyers is the clear WR1 of this team, but he was handled effectively by Dolphins quarterback Jalen Ramsey and his fellow defensive backs. Things won't get any easier in Week 11, when Las Vegas has a date with the Denver Broncos -- cornerback Patrick Surtain II is elite and is licking his chops at a chance to lock down Meyers. He's a risky start next week, as are all WRs that face the Broncos.

5 days agoLos Angeles Chargers rookie wide receiver
Ladd McConkey had a big game in a Week 11 win over the Cincinnati Bengals. McConkey ended up leading the team in targets, catches, and yards, making six catches on nine targets for 123 yards. The rookie ended up missing a few plays after being forced to leave with a shoulder injury, but he was back on the field soon after. He made some huge catches at the end of the fourth quarter that helped lead the Chargers to score a game winning touchdown with just 18 seconds left in the game. McConkey has clearly gotten comfortable with quarterback
Justin Herbert and is often the first read over the middle of the field. He should continue as a solid and reliable WR3 option most weeks.

5 days agoLos Angeles Chargers running back
Gus Edwards tallied just six carries in a Week 11 win over the Cincinnati Bengals. Edwards ran it the six times for a total of 27 yards with a long run of nine yards. He was not targeted in the passing game. Edwards settled in behind starter
J.K. Dobbins in a role that he'll likely fill for the rest of the season as long as everyone remains healthy. Edwards does not have much standalone value, but he could be an immediate fantasy starter if Dobbins were ever forced to miss any time.

5 days agoLas Vegas Raiders quarterback
Gardner Minshew II completed 30 of his 43 pass attempts for 282 yards, two touchdowns and one interception in his Week 11 loss to the Miami Dolphins. He also carried the ball two times for seven yards. He was once again outmatched by the opposing quarterback, and wasn't able to lift his team to a victory, in what is becoming a common theme for the team. He actually started the game by leading drives of 61 and 66 yards, but both ended with field goals. His TDs twice brought the Raiders within five points of the opposition, but the offense fizzled, and he threw a pick to effectively seal the deal on his next drive. He's likely to be the starter again next week, but will be a risky option in fantasy -- Las Vegas will face the tough Denver Broncos defense, which just handled the Atlanta Falcons with ease.

5 days agoBuffalo Bills wide receiver
Amari Cooper (wrist) caught two passes for 55 yards in the team's 30-21 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs. Cooper returned to the lineup after missing the last two games with a wrist injury. Unfortunately, he didn't see a lot of opportunities.
Josh Allen only targeted Cooper three times. Fortunately, there were no setbacks to his injury and he'll have extra time to further recover as Buffalo takes their bye week. The veteran will be a WR3 when the Bills host the San Francisco 49ers in Week 13.

5 days agoLos Angeles Chargers running back
J.K. Dobbins scored two touchdowns in a Week 11 win over the Cincinnati Bengals. Dobbins ran the ball 11 times, gaining 56 yards and scoring on the ground twice. He was only targeted once in the passing game and made the grab for a three-yard gain. Dobbins ran well in this one despite a usually strong Bengals run defense. His first touchdown was on a one-yard goal line plunge in the second quarter, and his second was a game-clincher in the fourth quarter that came on a 29-yard rush with 18 seconds left. Dobbins was once again in charge of this backfield despite only tallying 11 carries, as all other Chargers running backs combined for eight total carries. Dobbins will again be on the RB2 radar next week on Monday Night Football against the Ravens.

5 days agoBuffalo Bills tight end
Dawson Knox caught four passes for 40 yards in the team's win over the Kansas City Chiefs. Knox started and operated as Buffalo's top tight end with
Dalton Kincaid (knee) inactive. That resulted in a season-high mark for receptions and targets (six). His stat line provided a respectable fantasy score for managers who streamed the position. Buffalo will take their bye week in Week 12. When they return to action, Kincaid may be healthy enough to play. Knox can be dropped in most leagues.
