A poor showing by the Cardinals offense included just 12
rushing attempts from the running backs and zero TDs. This was
Conner’s third dud of the year (Wk 3, 6, 12).
A slow start for the Ravens offense quicky turned into a
dominating running performance as both backs found success on
the ground. Henry (24-140-0) had a TD called back on an illegal
formation penalty. Hill (4-55-1) scored on a 51-yard run.
Just 22 pass attempts from Lamar. Still nothin’ doin’ for
Diontae Johnson who’s buried on the depth chart. Flowers (5-62-0)
led the group with 8 targets as expected.
TE Mark Andrews: 27 snaps (41.5%), 23.8% tgt share
TE Isaiah Likely: 35 snaps (53.8%), 0.0% tgt share
Likely out-snapped Andrews 35 to 27 but wasn’t targeted
in the passing game. Andrews’ 5-44-1 line was good enough
for TE8 on the week.
Thielen (3-57-0) returned to action… his first since Week
3. He was running third in the pecking order behind Legette (4-56-0)
and Moore. Moore (6-81-1) led the team with 10 targets.
Scary scene for Sanders who left on a stretcher after landing
on his head/neck. He seems to be OK but may miss Week 13 with
a concussion. Tremble would get the start in that scenario.
Caleb threw the ball 47 times and the Bears have tightened
up their WR rotation, playing their top three guys most of the
snaps. Rome (5-39-0) and Keenan (9-86-1) both had double-digit
targets while Moore finished with a 7-106-1 line on 7 targets.
Chubb (20-59-2, 1-1-0) continues to be inefficient with his
opportunities but this was the first game he received over 20
touches, thanks to a positive game script and weather.
Just 27 pass attempts from Jameis. It was clear that Jeudy
(6 tgts) was working as the top receiver in this game. Tillman
(4 tgts) was the clear No.3. The Browns have difficult passing
matchups down the stretch (@DEN, @PIT, KC, MIA) that may lead
to just one receiver being fantasy relevant in those games.
TE David Njoku: 57 snaps (98.3%), 18.5% tgt share
TE Jordan Akins: 24 snaps (41.4%), 14.8% tgt share
Quiet game from Njoku (5 tgts) who was still involved, just
couldn’t come down with the catches.
Lamb (10-67-0) and Tolbert are the only Dallas wideouts seeing
consistent snaps. Lamb dominated targets with 12. No other Dallas
pass catcher had more than 4.
You can’t predict how the Broncos will use their RBs with
any certainty. The three of the them combined for just 18 carries.
Javonte had 8 carries for -2 yards.
Sutton was the star of the offense hauling in 2 TDs on 10
targets. Vele (6-80-0) was fantasy worthy on 9 targets. Most weeks,
Sutton will be the only reliable receiver in this offense.
TE Adam Trautman:
36 snaps (52.9%), 5.1% tgt share
TE Lucas Krull:
21 snaps (30.9%), 0.0% tgt share
TE Nate Adkins:
20 snaps (29.4%), 0.0% tgt share
Montgomery (11 touches) banged up his shoulder in this game
and was held out as a precaution given they play on Thursday.
That led to an outsized workload for Gibbs who posted a (21-90-2,
3-9-0) line.
Huge game for Jacobs (26-106-3) as he handled 26 touches,
all carries. Brooks (5 touches) and Wilson (9 touches) continue
to split time as the backup running back in Green Bay.
The Packers won by 28 points which allowed all the receivers
to get some playing time. Just 23 attempts from Jordan Love left
very little production for the wideouts. Doubs led the group with
6 targets but left with a concussion.
TE Tucker Kraft: 57 snaps (79.2%), 9.1% tgt share
TE Ben Sims: 24 snaps (33.3%), 0.0% tgt share
Kraft had just 2 targets but did find the endzone.
Nico’s snap percentage improved from last week and he led
the team with 9 targets. He’s back in the WR1 discussion each
week. Metchie is working as the third receiver.
TE Dalton Schultz: 46 snaps (82.1%), 6.5% tgt share
TE Cade Stover: 20 snaps (35.7%), 12.9% tgt share
Schultz (2-20-0) isn’t really a fantasy option at this point.
Downs (7 tgts) left with a shoulder injury and likely won’t
play in Week 13 against the Patriots. That should bring Adonai
Mitchell back into the rotation for more snaps. Pittman (6-96-0)
had his best game since Week 4 but will continue to struggle with
consistency.
TE Kylen Granson: 35 snaps (63.6%), 8.0% tgt share
TE Drew Ogletree: 30 snaps (54.5%), 4.0% tgt share
TE Mo Alie-Cox: 23 snaps (41.8%), 0.0% tgt share
19 touches for Hunt but he couldn’t find the endzone against
the Panthers. His fantasy value is decreasing by the week as Isiah
Pacheco nears his return.
Dobbins injured knee and missed a big chunk of this game
which allowed Haskins some extra playing time. Some mixture of
Gus, Haskins and Kimani Vidal (Inactive) would likely be the RBBC
next week against the Falcons is Dobbins sits.
After a solid first drive which led to a Herbert rushing
TD, the offense kind of fizzled out. QJ had a case of the dropsies
and failed to catch any of his 5 targets. Palmer led the group
with 8 targets.
Kyren (16-72-1) continues to have his workhorse role but
hasn’t had a target in the last two games. He led all running
backs this week with a 88.9% rush share.
Double-digit targets for both Puka (13) and Kupp (11). They
soaked up 70% of the targets from Stafford. Puka led all wide
receivers this week with a 38.2% target share.
Alexander Mattison and Zamir White were Inactive. Abdullah
(8-28-0, 5-37-1) played most of the game but had just 13 touches.
He won’t be a recommended fantasy play next week against Kansas
City even if he maintains this role.
The Raiders lost Gardner Minshew for the season with a broken
collarbone. Meyers (10-121-0) led the team with 15 targets. Desmond
Ridder against the Chiefs in Week 13?
TE Brock Bowers: 72 snaps (93.5%), 21.7% tgt share
TE Michael Mayer: 34 snaps (44.2%), 4.3% tgt share
Browers had 10 targets but finished with just 4 catches and
38 yards. He’s still a high-end TE1.
Achane (13 touches) didn’t get much going on the ground but
did score twice in the receiving game. Mostert (3 touches) is
now third on the depth chart behind Wright (7 touches).
This was Waddle’s best game of the season and only other
game over 100 receiving yards since Week 1. He finished 2nd in
targets (9) to TE Jonnu Smith (11).
TE Jonnu Smith:
47 snaps (69.1%), 27.5% tgt share
TE Julian Hill: 31 snaps (45.6%), 5.0% tgt share
TE Durham Smythe: 25 snaps (36.8%), 2.5% tgt share
The rise of Jonnu (9-87-1) continues. Despite the Dolphins
playing three tight ends, he’s a strong option in the passing
game with weekly TE1 upside.
The Giants were predictably bad on offense with DeVito under
center. That led to just 12 running back carries, including 9
for Tracy. He did manage 70 yards on 13 touches.
Barkley (26-255-2, 4-47-0) had one the best fantasy games
you will ever see! The Rams simply had no answer. The Eagles ran
the ball 45 times including 12 from QB Jalen Hurts.
DeVonta Smith was Inactive. Hurts spent most of the game
handing off to Barkley which limited his pass attempts to 22.
Somehow, Brown (7 targets) managed to go over 100 yards receiving.
Warren (11-45-1, 3-19-0) got a little hot hand treatment
as he was more productive with his early touches. Najee (16-41-0,
2-13-0) still out-touched him 18 to 14.
Williams are Jefferson are still splitting the No.3 receiver
role which means neither are fantasy relevant. Just 29 pass attempts
in the snow and wind.
Each RB scored. Bucky is the preferred fantasy option here.
His 6-64-0 receiving line shows he’s capable of being a three-down
RB. However, the Bucs will continue to split work mainly between
Bucky (18 touches) and White (13 touches).
Shephard (5-16-0) led the team with 7 targets as Tampa Bay
used six receivers. That kept Evans (5-68-0) snap count down along
with the Giants being and inferior opponent.
TE Cade Otton: 53 snaps (81.5%), 10.0% tgt share
TE Payne Durham: 24 snaps (36.9%), 3.3% tgt share
Just 3 targets for Otton this week as Baker spread the ball
around to 11 different receivers. He should be a solid TE1 moving
forward.
Tyjae Spears was Inactive. Heavy usage for Pollard (24-119-1)
as he handled 63 of 67 snaps on offense and 27 touches in the
Titans win over the Texans.
NWI (2-48-1) has now scored in six of seven games this season.
Just 24 attempts for Levis which is probably how the Titans like
it. Ridley and Boyd tied for the team lead with 6 targets.
Robinson (5-13-0, 1-11-0) injured his ankle on his first
carry. He eventually came back in the game but wasn’t effective.
Daniels did the heavy lifting in the running game (7-74-1) as
Ekeler suffered a concussion.
A very slow start for Daniels until the 4th quarter when
he connected on a short TD with Ertz and an 86-yard TD to McLaurin.
Brown (6-71-0) led the team with 10 targets and has solidified
himself as the No.2 receiver on the team.
TE Zach Ertz: 53 snaps (75.7%), 23.5% tgt share
TE John Bates: 29 snaps (41.4%), 2.9% tgt share
TE Ben Sinnott: 21 snaps (30.0%), 0.0% tgt share
Ertz had 8 targets and finished with a 6-38-1 line. He’s
had at least 7 targets in four out of his last five games.
