Injuries to monitor:

• Justin Fields (shoulder) – carted off for further evaluation
• Joe Mixon (concussion/head injury) – likely going to miss one week.
• Jaylen Warren (hamstring) – ruled out quickly
• Chase Edmonds (ankle) – TBD

Other notable injuries: C David Andrews (season-ender), OL Isaiah Wynn, CB Jeff Okudah, CB Adoree Jackson, LB Anthony Barr, LT Ronnie Stanley, CB Kyler Gordon, LB Micah Parsons, LT Christian Darrisaw

Top Headlines of the Day

QB: Danny Dimes does it. Daniel Jones rushed 7 times for 50 yards and 1 TD. Also tossed for 341 passing yards and 1 score.

RB: Jamaal Williams Hattrick. Jamaal Williams does it again. The Lions’ goal-line running back scored thrice on 17 carries tallying 64 rushing yards. D’Andre Swift carried the ball 5 times for 20 yards and also scored. Swift also caught all 3 of his targets for 12 yards. No. 3 RB Justin Jackson had more carries than Swift (9 for 66).

WR: Amari Cooper… Holiday Road. Amari Cooper hit big on the ROAD. Always somewhat skeptical on the home/road splits with Cooper. And after diving deeper into last week, it really was a case of him facing cornerbacks like A.J. Terrell, Jaycee Horn, Marlon Humphrey and Xavien Howard. Bills don’t have a guy like that…so Cooper hits big catching 8 of 12 targets (31% target share) for 113 receiving yards and 2 TDs.

TE: Opportunity is Dawson Knoxing. Dawson Knox led the Bills with 7 targets (tying Gabriel Davis), catching all 7 for 70 yards. Davis went 5 for 68. Stefon Diggs only saw 5 targets (4 for 48) but scored.

Quick Game-by-Game Observations & Takeaways

Sunday Early Afternoon Slate

Game 1 – Bears 24, Falcons 27

Fantasy takeaway: Cordarelle Patterson. That boy FAST. Not only did he lead the Falcons backfield in carries (10 for 52) but he scored a kick return TD, breaking the record previously held by Josh Cribbs. C-Patt totaled 12 touches (2 targets) to Tyler Allgeier‘s 9 (1 target).

Other notes:

• This was the Kyle Pitts GAME. He didn’t even finish the game and still led the team in targets (5, 28% target share) and receiving yards (43). Left game with a knee injury. Drake London only had 3 targets, but scored for the second straight week!
• David Montgomery ATE with Khalil Herbert out. Rushed 17 times for 67 yards and 1 TD. Also caught 3 passes for 54 yards on 4 target. In totality, Monty earned 77% opportunity share.
• Justin Fields rushed 18 times for 85 yards and 1 TD, but was carted off the field at the end of the game for more tests.
• Darnell Mooney led with 5 targets, and caught 4 passes for 29 yards with 1 receiving TD. Cole Kmet finished second with 4 targets (3-35).

Game 2 – Panthers 3, Ravens 13

Fantasy takeaway: Have a day Demarcus Robinson! The Ravens No. 1 WR caught all nine of his targets for 128 yards (28% target share). Devin Duvernay caught 1 pass for 3 yards on 1 target.

Other notes:

• D’Onta Foreman rushed 11 times for 24 yards versus a stout run defense. Chuba Hubbard totaled 4 carries for zero yards. Hubbard caught 2 passes on 3 targets. Foreman failed to catch his lone target.
• D.J. Moore woof. 3 for 24 on 5 targets. Was out-targeted by Terrace Marshall (6), who went 3 for 76.
• This offense sucks with Baker Mayfield at QB.
• Mark Andrews (6-63) on 8 targets. Seems all back from the injury.
• Ravens backfield was without Gus Edwards. Kenyan Drake led with 10 carries for 46 yards, but Justice Hill was more involved (7 for 30) than back in Week 9. KD had -1 yards at the half. Both guys saw 3-plus targets. Will be an even bigger mess when Edwards returns next week.

Game 3 – Browns 23, Bills 31

Fantasy takeaway: Amari Cooper hit big on the ROAD. Always somewhat skeptical about the home/road splits with Cooper. And after diving deeper into last week, it really was a case of him facing cornerbacks like A.J. Terrell, Jaycee Horn, Marlon Humphrey and Xavien Howard. Bills don’t have a guy like that…so Cooper hits big, catching 8 of 12 targets (31% target share) for 113 receiving yards and 2 TDs.

Other notes:

• Donovan Peoples-Jones continued his nice streak of fantasy production, catching 5 for 61 yards and 1 TD. Rookie David Bell with another 5-target game.
• David Njoku returned to the lineup but saw fewer targets than Harrison Bryant (7 vs. 3).
• Kareem Hunt totaled 7 touches for 54 yards. Nothing more than a handcuff at this point.
• Nick Chubb got..STUFFED!? 1.4 yards per carry. 14 for 19. Woof.
• Dawson Knox led the Bills with 7 targets (tying Gabriel Davis), catching all 7 for 70 yards. Davis went 5 for 68. Stefon Diggs only saw 5 targets (4 for 48) but scored.
• Devin Singletary totaled 18 carries for 86 yards and scored while adding in two catches. 58% opportunity share. But James Cook got some run late as well, going 11 for 86 on the ground with 2 targets. He had just 3 carries in the 1st half. Nyheim Hines with 1 carry and 1 target. So, like, why did they trade for this guy again?

Game 4 – Commanders 23, Texans 10

Fantasy takeaway: Antonio Gibson led the Commanders in carries (18) and targets (3). 72 rushing yards and 31 receiving yards. Brian Robinson went 15 for 57 on the ground, but did not score, nor was he targeted. Curtis Samuel scored the lone rushing TD.

Other notes:

• Dameon Pierce. Woof. 10 carries for 8 yards versus the league’s No. 1 run defense. Just 3 targets (2 for 9), so no salvaging his fantasy outing. No other RB had a carry. Rex Burkhead has zero RB opportunities.
• Nico Collins tied Chris Moore with a team-high 7 targets, catching 5 for 48. Brandin Cooks led the team with 70 yards (41-yard catch) on 3 catches/6 targets.
• Logan Thomas led the Commanders with 65 receiving yards (5 catches on 6 targets).
• Terry McLaurin was the target leader (7, 30%) but just 4 for 55. Happens when your QB completes just 15 passes. Curtis Samuel earned just 2 targets and caught 1 pass for 10 yards.

Game 5 – Eagles 17 , Colts 16

Fantasy takeaway: Jonathan Taylor‘s resurgence continues. 22 carries for 84 yards and 1 TD. 3 for 10 as a receiver. 25 touches. However, he split more time with other RBs this week. Deon Jackson took a bigger receiving role, commanding 4 targets…equal to JT. Still, Taylor earned an 81% opportunity share for his efforts.

Other notes:

• Michael Pittman led receiving yards with 7 targets catching 6 for 75.
• Parris Campbell finished second with 67 yards on 5 catches (6 targets)
• Alec Pierce led the team with 8 targets (26% target share), but caught just 3 for 28.

Game 6 – Jets 3, Patriots 10

Fantasy takeaway: Rhamondre Stevenson the bellcow still? Still dominated the touches versus Damien Harris (21 vs. 10), but Harris did rush for more yards (8 for 65) with a long 30-yard gainer. Stevenson rushed for just 26 yards on 15 carries but led the way with 6 targets for 6 catches and 56 receiving yards. Leads Pats in targets since Mac Jones has returned as the quarterback.

Other notes:

• Jonnu Smith was notably more involved: 4 catches for 40 yards on 4 targets. Jakobi Meyers also earned 6 targets (4 for 52).
• Entire Jets offense did nothing against a suffocating Patriots defense.
• Elijah Moore did see 4 targets. Garrett Wilson with just 2 grabs for 12 yards. Denzel Mims led team with 6 targets.
• Jets backfield was split as Michael Carter (8 carries for 19 yards) and James Robinson (7 carries for 10 yards). Ty Johnson also tallied 4 carries.

Also rushed 12 times for 42 yards. Handled 16 of 18 RB touches. Taysom Hill rushed 9 times for 52 yards and caught 1 pass for 8 yards.

Other notes:

• Cam Akers back from the dead? 14 carries for 61 yards. Led team in rushes over Kyren Williams (7 for 36) and Darrell Henderson (2 for 9). However, he was not targeted. Williams was the only RB with targets (2).
• Not to toot my own horn, but the Rams receivers played out exactly how I thought it would in a post-Cooper Kupp offense. Allen Robinson posted 4-47-1 on 5 targets.
• Tyler Higbee led team in targets (8. 30% target share) but converted 4 for 45 versus elite Saints TE defense. Van Jefferson finished 3 for 41 on 5 targets.

Fantasy takeaway: Jamaal Williams does it again. The Lions goal-line running back scored thrice on 17 carries tallying 64 rushing yards. D’Andre Swift carried the ball 5 times for 20 yards and also scored. Swift also caught all 3 of his targets for 12 yards. No. 3 RB Justin Jackson had more carries than Swift (9 for 66).

Other notes:

• Darius Slayton continued his hot streak. 5 for 86 on 10 targets.
• Richie James finished 3-for-3 for 48 yards and 1 TD. Likely will see a boosted role with Robinson out.

Game 9 – Raiders 22, Broncos 16

Fantasy takeaway: Davante Adams doesn’t care how good your No. 1 cornerback is. 13 targets (35% target share) 7 catches for 141 yards and two TDs. YTLSI.

Other notes:

• Mack Hollins with a solid 6 catches for 52 yards on 9 targets.

Game 10 – Cowboys 40, Vikings 3

Fantasy takeaway: Tony Pollard. Can’t Stop. Won’t Stop. Both he and Ezekiel Elliott had 15 carries. Pollard rushed for 80 yards (5.3 yards per carry), Zeke rushed for 42 yards (2.8 yards per carry). Zeke, of course, got two red-zone TDs. But Pollard at least got the receiving usage catching all 6 of his targets for 109 yards and two TDs.

Other notes:

• Dalvin Cook: 11 carries for 72 yards but only 1 target. Alexander Mattison had one carry before garbage time.

Game 11 – Bengals 37 , Steelers 30

Fantasy takeaway: Samaje Perine stepped up BIG for an injured Joe Mixon to the tune of 3 receiving TDs. Finished the game with 11 carries for 30 yards, in addition to 4 catches for 52 yards (including the 3 scores). No. 1 waiver wire pickup with Mixon potentially out, although it will be a tough matchup versus the Titans.

Other notes:

• Tee Higgins alpha mode: 35% target share. 9 for 148 on 13 targets.
• Tyler Boyd got the volume (7 targets) but caught just 2 for 42.
• Trenton Irwin scored going 3 for 42 on 4 targets.

• Pat Freiermuth led the Steelers in targets (12, 31% target share, 8-79) followed by George Pickens (4 for 83 on 6 targets plus 1 TD).

Game 12 – Chiefs 30, Chargers 27

Fantasy takeaway: Travis Kelce does it again. 6 for 115 and 3 TDs on 10 targets (32% target share). Truly a cheat code at tight end.

Other notes: 

• Have a day Isiah Pacheco! The Chiefs starting running back posted his first 100-yard rushing game of the season, rushing for 107 yards on 15 carries. He was not targeted, but earned a 63% opportunity share. Jerick McKinnon totaled 24 yards on six carries with one catch. Clyde Edwards-Helaire had two carries for 9 yards and played 5 snaps.
• Kadarius Toney and Mike Williams both left the game with injuries.
• Justin Watson played the most snaps for the Chiefs WRs, but Skyy Moore was more productive. The rookie went 5 for 63 on 6 targets. MVS caught on pass for 18 yards on 4 targets.
• Josh Palmer stepped up in the absence of Williams, catching 8 of 10 targets for 106 yards and 2 receiving TDs. Keenan Allen also posted his best outing of the year, catching 5 balls for 94 yards on 8 targets coming off his hamstring injury.
• Austin Ekeler totaled 19 carries for 83 yards and scored one rushing TD, but also only saw 2 targets for 17 yards. 75% opportunity share., but by far his lowest target total of the season with more WRs back healthy for the Chargers.
