Fantasy Football Player Notes
Week 11 Rankings
|
1.
Christian McCaffrey
RB - SF (at ARI)
With Jonathan Taylor on his bye week, CMC is the clear RB1 for Week 11. Taylor and CMC have the two most fantasy points across all positions. That's more than Josh Allen, Patrick Mahomes, and Drake Maye. Despite this CMC is scoring in a different way than most backs. With the sixth most receiving yards (one yard behind Amon-Ra St. Brown), he also has the second most receptions across all positions. McCaffrey is a WR1 and an RB2 combined into one player. This week, they take on the Cardinals, who are allowing the twelfth most fantasy points to the position. Continue to role out CMC as a true difference maker each week.

2.
Bijan Robinson
RB - ATL (vs . CAR)
Undoubtedly one of the most talented backs in the league, Robinson finds himself in the classic fantasy dilemma. Despite all the talent in the world, he is on an underperforming team that likes to incorporate a second back. Tyler Allgeier remains a complementary player; however, he is good enough to have games where he steals the touchdowns from Robinson (like last week). Still, Bijan played 86% of the snaps, which locks him into an elite snapshare. This week, he faces the Panthers, who stunned the Falcons with a shutout in Week 3. The Panthers are league average against the RB for fantasy, and just allowed Alvin Kamara to have his highest yardage total of the season (121 total yards). It's only a matter of time before we see Bijan find the endzone again, leaving him atop the second tier of backs behind CMC and Taylor.

3.
De'Von Achane
RB - MIA (vs . WAS)
For fantasy managers who drafted Dolphins this year, it has felt like one of the iconic scenes in Toy Story 3. You're riding on a heap of garbage slowly approaching the incinerator. Thankfully, Achane is The Claw in this story and has come to your rescue as the RB3 and eighth-highest scorer overall. Last week, he had 225 yards from scrimmage and two scores against the Bills. This week, he faces the Commanders, who just allowed Jahmyr Gibbs to have 172 yards and three scores. This is a great matchup for Achane, and he should continue to be on fire heading into his bye week.

4.
Josh Jacobs
RB - GB (at NYG)
Jacobs was the only thing working for the Packers last Monday Night. Falling to the Eagles 10-7, Jacobs still managed to continue his six-game touchdown streak, scoring his 11th touchdown in nine games. Jacobs may be a step behind the elite backs this year, but he has been one of the most consistent performers at any position. You can't ask for a better fantasy season, and you couldn't ask for a better matchup this week. The Giants have allowed an average of 202 rushing yards and 1.7 rushing touchdowns over their last three games. Only cracking 20 fantasy points twice this year (and both were 29 points), this is the perfect situation to get his third big game of the season.

5.
James Cook III
RB - BUF (vs . TB)
The Buffalo Bills getting dominated by the Miami Dolphins is one of those games that make the NFL so much fun to predict. The Dolphins had and have no business winning a game like that. Still, they played complementary football and had the Bills' offense treading water all game. This includes holding Cook to under 100 yards for the fourth time this season. Still, the veteran back tallied 77 yards on 18 touches. This week, the Bills take on the Bucs, who are coming off a tough loss to the AFC East leading Patriots. If the Bills want to continue to keep the Patriots within range, this is nearring "must-win" territory. As for the Bucs, they are holding a slim, one-game lead over the Panthers. With so much on the line, this should be a great game. It also seems like a game that the Bills would want to trust their veteran players and lean on the run. Averaging the 10th most fantasy points to RBs, this should be a nice matchup for Cook to rebound in.
|
|
6.
Ashton Jeanty
RB - LV (vs . DAL)
With three touchdowns in his last four games, Jeanty has started to show consistency despite being on the Raiders. With Bock Bowers back, the entire offense has opened up. This includes Jeanty having back-to-back five-target games (his second-highest total in a game this season). Jeanty has also seen his two highest snap totals (91% and 87%) of the season over the last two games. As a result, the passing work gives Jeanty a decent floor to go along with his dominant snap share. This week, the Raiders have a fantastic matchup against the Cowboys on Monday Night. The Cowboys are tied for the most rushing touchdowns allowed in their last three games, with 1.7 per game. Add this to the already sky-high 50.5 point over under, and we have an opportunity to see a College Jeanty kind of stat line.
|
|
7.
Jahmyr Gibbs
RB - DET (at PHI)
Averaging 9.6 yards per touch last week, Gibbs torched the Commanders for 172 yards and three scores. Over his last three games, Gibbs has two 35+ point weeks sandwiching an RB40 finish. This accurately represents the Gibbs experience. Despite being one of the most efficient players in the league on one of the best offenses, his split role with David Montgomery always leaves the door open to RB2 weeks. This week, they take on the Eagles, who handled the entire Packers offense outside of Josh Jacobs. On the season, they are league average against fantasy RBs, making Gibbs another great play in a game featuring two of the league's most talented rosters.

8.
Rico Dowdle
RB - CAR (at ATL)
Every year, there is a player or two that seemingly come out of the blue and carry teams to championship runs. In the past, we've seen Jerrick McKinnon, Damien Williams, Kenyan Drake, and ARSB have incredible ends to their seasons. Although a little early, it's looking like Rico Dowdle may be this year's X factor player. Last week, Rico Dowdle played 80% of snaps and led the team in third-down usage for the first time since Week 6. It's safe to say, Dowdle is the primary Panthers' back for the foreseeable future. With the Panthers only one game behind the Buccaneers, and averaging the third most rushing attempts per game, this is a perfect situation for Dowdle. This week, he takes on the Falcons, who just allowed Jonathan Taylor to 286 total yards and three scores. Not saying Dowdle is JT, but he has been known to have two 200-yard games this season. Unless the Falcons can fix their defense this week, Dowdle could take advantage of a team flying back from Germany this week.
|
|
9.
TreVeyon Henderson
RB - NE (vs . NYJ)
TreVeyon Henderson gashed the Bucs last week with explosives. Over the last two games, he has been the RB15 and RB4 in weekly scoring, averaging 16.5 touches and 118.5 total yards. Since Week 9, he has ripped some long runs, ranking sixth in explosive run rate, but he needs to give a hat tip to his offensive line. In that span, he has the highest yards before contact per attempt with an insane 5.61 yards before contact per attempt. In the same sample, he ranks 29th in success rate (50%), 24th in stuff rate (46.4%), 33rd in missed tackle rate (11%), and 41st in yards after contact per attempt (1.61). Henderson has had some massive running lanes and taken advantage with his back-breaking speed. He's primed to do it again this week. Since Week 6, the Jets have allowed the sixth-most rushing yards per game, the ninth-highest explosive run rate, and the fifth-highest missed tackle rate.
|
|
10.
Saquon Barkley
RB - PHI (vs . DET)
This has not been a great year for Barkley. With 60 or fewer rushing yards in seven of nine games, he has been more of an RB2 on the season. Still, we saw a glimpse of vintage Barkley against the Giants in Week 8, and with the Cowboys and Chicago coming up, we may see it again. Unfortunately, this week he faces the Lions, who are allowing the third fewest fantasy points to the RB position. It is also worth pointing out that Barkley has played the fewest percentage of snaps in each of the last two games. Although he continues to play around 70% (which is firm RB1 usage), seeing Will Shipley and Tank Bigsby combine for nine touches last week is somewhat out of the ordinary. Continue to play Barkley as a low-end RB1 with the ability to explode in any matchup. However, it may be worth monitoring Shipley and Bisgby's usage over the next few weeks.

|
11.
Javonte Williams
RB - DAL (at LV)
Coming out of their bye, fantasy's RB8 on the season takes on the Raiders on Monday Night. Williams has been great for fantasy this season. With nine touchdowns in nine games, you couldn't have asked for a better season from the first-year Cowboys back. This week, he takes on the Raiders, who have been surprisingly tough against fantasy RBs, averaging fewer than 90 rushing yards per game to the position. Still, this game has a 50.5 point over-under and is set up to be a shootout. Williams is in a great situation to score his 10th and maybe even 11th touchdowns of the season in a matchup that should have plenty of fireworks.
|
|
12.
Ja'Marr Chase
WR - CIN (at PIT)
After the latest Bengals blunder, they have had a full bye week to sit with it and make changes. Do we think that time was used to fix their defense? Definitely not. This is good news for fantasy as we have seen the Bengals' weapons be fantasy forces over their last few games. With Joe Flacco under center, Chase has been a target hog and the best receiver in fantasy. We have also had word that Joe Burrow is back practicing, which is exciting news for fantasy managers. Whether Burrow returns in time for the fantasy playoffs or not, Chase is the best receiver in fantasy for the second straight year. This week, they face the Steelers, whom he tormented for 161 yards and a score in Week 7.
|
|
13.
Derrick Henry
RB - BAL (at CLE)
So the Ravens are back, and so is Henry? The King is kind of back, but hasn't shown his elite upside since Week 1. Failing to crack 20 fantasy points since the electric game against the Bills to open the season, this has been the first year in a long time that Henry has felt more like an RB2 than an elite RB1. Thankfully, he is seeing great volume and has four straight weeks finishing as a top 24 back, despite only scoring two touchdowns over that span. This week, the ravens take on a rock-solid Browns defense, that held Henry to 23 yards on 11 carries in Week 2. On the season, the Browns are allowing the fourth fewest fantasy points to the RB position and the third fewest rushing touchdowns. Depending on your league size, Henry is likely forced into your lineups and should be viewed as a low-end RB2 this week. However, if you're feeling brave and have another option, this may be the time to bench the superstar back.

|
14.
Puka Nacua
WR - LAR (vs . SEA)
Four weeks after the injury, we have seen Puka make spectacular plays in each of his two games. Catching a touchdown in each game, the star receiver is back for the stretch run of fantasy seasons. However, since his return, he has played 49 and 52% of snaps. This may be a sign that he is not fully healthy, or the Rams chose to pull him out after leading by multiple scores in each game. Either way, this at least raises one eyebrow, since he was playing 80% or more snaps before his injury. We have also seen Davante Adams have more targets than him in those two games. Overall, there is no need to be worried about Puka; he is a star. This is more food for thought in case his snaps continue to be near the 50% mark. This week, they face the Seahawks, who allow the seventh fewest fantasy points to the position.
|
|
15.
Jaxon Smith-Njigba
WR - SEA (at LAR)
Nine games into the season, and JSN already has over 1000 receiving yards. His 1041 yards are the most in the league, leading the next highest (Ja'Marr Chase) by 210 yards. This is an incredible season for JSN and Sam Darnold. These two are on the same page each week, with six of nine games connecting on at least eight passes. This week, the Seahawks take on their divisional foes, who are battling for the division. With both the Rams and Seahawks sitting at 7-2, their two remaining matchups could very well determine the division. The Rams have been elite at stopping the run, but league average against receivers. I expect JSN to be heavily involved once again if Seattle wants to keep up with the red-hot Rams offense. Get your popcorn ready for this one.
|
|
16.
Jaylen Warren
RB - PIT (vs . CIN)
Jaylen Warren is set to crush this week. The last time he played against Cincy, he had 20 touches and turned them into 158 total yards as the RB7 for the week. Warren is the RB18 in fantasy points per game, averaging 17 touches and 86 total yards. Among 64 qualifying backs, Warren ranks sixth in missed tackle rate and 15th in yards after contact per attempt. Since Week 6, Cincy has allowed the most rushing yards per game, the third-highest explosive run rate, the fourth-highest missed tackle rate, and the second-most yards after contact per attempt.
|
|
17.
Kyren Williams
RB - LAR (vs . SEA)
Kyren Williams has slowly started to lose work to backfield mate Blake Corum. After Sean McVay discussed using the backes in a 65-35 split, he has been a man of his word. Although the snap percentages continue to mirror that statement, the touches have started to shift. Last week, Williams played 58% of snaps, yet he only had one more rush attempt than Corum. Still, Williams had a substantially better fantasy day, scoring both rushing touchdowns for the Rams. This week, they have a tough task against the Seahawks, who are allowing the eighth fewest fantasy points to the RB position. In a tough matchup and a usage split, Williams has a lower floor than he has in the past. Still, he is locked in as a low-end RB1 in any matchup.
|
|
18.
CeeDee Lamb
WR - DAL (at LV)
With only one touchdown, it's been a relatively disappointing season for Lamb in the games he's played. However, when you average 10 targets and nearly 100 yards per game, he has one of the best fantasy floors in the game. The Cowboys tried to fix their defense at the trade deadline and made some big splashes, acquiring Quinnen Williams from the Jets and "The Cowboy" Logan Wilson from the Bengals. If these two can make a splash, there may be fewer all-out shootouts for the Cowboys, potentially limiting the ceiling of some of the pass catchers. However, this week against a weak Raiders secondary, Lamb should feast. The elite receiver is one of the safest plays in fantasy, and has the ability to win your week regardless of matchup.
|
|
19.
Drake London
WR - ATL (vs . CAR)
The only thing that makes sense on the Falcons is that they are willing to force the ball to London. Leading the team by nearly 30 targets, London is the focal point of this downfield passing attack, with Bijan Robinson being heavily involved out of the backfield. This has led to four 100-yard games and six touchdowns in is last five games. With only one game below eight targets, and being third in the lead in redzone targets, London is a great mix of incredible usage and touchdown upside. This week, they get a revenge game against the Panthers, who held them scoreless in Week 3. The Panthers' defense has taken a step forward this season, allowing the sixth fewest fantasy points to the position. It's a tough matchup, but London remains a firm WR1 for Week 11.
|
|
20.
Chase Brown
RB - CIN (at PIT)
Chase Brown has been awesome since Joe Flacco arrived as the RB11 in fantasy points per game, averaging 14.6 touches and 91.5 total yards. Since Week 6, among 45 qualifying backs, he has ranked eighth in explosive run rate, third in missed tackle rate, and second in yards after contact per attempt. The last time he faced Pittsburgh, he had only 11 carries but ripped them apart with 9.8 yards per carry. Since Week 6, Pittsburgh has fielded a middling run defense, allowing the 14th-highest rushing success rate, ranking 16th in yards before contact per attempt and logging the 12th-lowest stuff rate. Chase Brown could absorb more of the backfield workload this week with Samaje Perine out. I expect Tahj Brooks to be involved, but it might only be as a change-of-pace option this week.Â
|
|
21.
Justin Jefferson
WR - MIN (vs . CHI)
Usually, spending a first-round pick on a QB is good news for star receivers. For Justin Jefferson, fantasy managers are dreaming of having Carson Wentz under center (who would have thought we'd ever say that). With all three of his games with fewer than 50 receiving yards coming with JJ. McCarthy under center, his weekly floor is lower than ever. Thankfully, both of his touchdowns have also come from McCarthy. However, it doesn't look like McCarthy will be making them a regular occurrence. This week, the Bears look to get revenge after the Vikings had a second-half comeback for the win in Week 1. The good news is that the Bears are allowing the third-most fantasy points to opposing receivers. If there is ever a matchup in which McCarthy and Jefferson could come together with a big game, it may be this one.
|
|
22.
Amon-Ra St. Brown
WR - DET (at PHI)
Seeing ARSB be second in the league in red zone targets is music to the ears of fantasy managers. Already one of the most reliable targets in the league, his redzone usage and touchdown appeal are the icing on the cake. Sitting as the WR2 on the season, ARSB is having another incredible season. This week, the Lions have a huge game against the Eagles who snuck by the Packers last week, leaving the Lions and Bears tied attop the divisional at 6-2. With the NFC North being one of the most competitive divisions in football, a game against the defending Super Bowl Champs would be a huge victory for the Lions. The Eagles are allowing the eighth fewest fantasy points to opposing receivers this season. However, both these offenses can go nuclear and a player like ARSB could easily have a big week in a potential shootout.
|
|
23.
Rashee Rice
WR - KC (at DEN)
Three games since returning to the Chiefs lineup, and we have already anointed Rice as a fantasy WR1 each week. When you are the focal point of a red-hot offense led by Patrick Mahomes, it's easy to see why Rice has hit the ground running. With 80 yards or a score in each of its three games, he stepped right into where he left off after tearing his ACL in 2024. This week, the Chiefs have one of their hardest matchups of the season. Facing the AFC West-leading, 8-2 Denver Broncos and their vaunted defense for the first game of two down the stretch, this game has massive implications for the division and playoff seeding. Having said that, the Broncos are likely without reigning defensive player of the year, Patrick Surtain, for the second consecutive week. This makes the matchup slightly better, but Rice and Mahomes will have their work cut out for them in this matchup.
|
|
24.
D'Andre Swift
RB - CHI (at MIN)
Last week, Swift retook his lead back role with a 60.9% snap share, a 51.2% route share, and a 22.2% target share. He led the way with two red zone rushing attempts, 18 touches, and 98 total yards. Swift is the RB11 in fantasy points per game, ranking 16th in opportunity share and 13th in red zone touches. Among 64 qualifying backs, Swift ranks 12th in explosive run rate and 23rd in missed tackle rate. Swift should have another strong week. Since Week 6, Minnesota has allowed the 12th-most rushing yards per game, the 12th-highest missed tackle rate, and ranked 16th in stuff rate.
|
|
25.
Quinshon Judkins
RB - CLE (vs . BAL)
Quinshon Judkins has cooled off as the RB19 in fantasy points per game, averaging 19.8 touches and 78,9 total yards. Judkins is 20th in opportunity share, 12th in carries, and 23rd among running backs in red zone touches. Among 64 qualifying backs, he ranks 37th in explosive run rate, 30th in missed tackles forced per attempt, and 24th in yards after contact per attempt. He should have a nice bounce-back day in Week 11. Since Week 6, Baltimore has allowed the sixth-highest explosive run rate, the 11th-most yards before contact per attempt, the eighth-highest yards per carry to gap runs (Judkins, 56.4% gap), and sits at 16th in missed tackle rate.
|
|
26.
Trey McBride
TE - ARI (vs . SF)
Turns out, all McBride needed to start throwing touchdowns was 32-year-old Jacoby Brissett on his sixth NFL team of his career. Seriously, McBride has now caught the same number of touchdowns from Brissett in four games as he had with Kyler Murray in three seasons. This has led to finishes as the TE two, three, six, and one, over those four weeks. Elite. This week, they face the 49ers' beat-up defense, which just allowed Matthew Stafford to pass for four touchdowns and almost 300 yards in Week 10. The 49ers desperately need to win this divisional game, and the Cardinals will be forced to keep up on the scoreboard. This should mean another hefty dose of McBride against the team, allowing the 13th most points to the position.
|
|
27.
Travis Etienne Jr.
RB - JAC (vs . LAC)
Travis Etienne is set to eat this week. He's the RB17 in fantasy points per game, averaging 17.3 touches and 87.3 total yards. Etienne ranks 12th in snap share, 14th in weighted opportunities, and eighth in red zone touches. Among 64 qualifying backs, Etienne ranks 31st in missed tackle rate and 23rd in yards after contact per attempt. He should pad those tackle breaking stats this week. The Bolts run defense has quietly been one of the worst in the league all season. Since Week 6, they have allowed the fourth-highest explosive run rate, the sixth-highest missed tackle rate, the second-highest yards before contact per attempt, and have the ninth-lowest stuff rate.
|
|
28.
Aaron Jones Sr.
RB - MIN (vs . CHI)
Last week, Aaron Jones took over the Minnesota backfield with a 70.8% snap rate. Over the last two weeks, he has averaged 11.5 touches and 83.5 total yards while posting RB18 and RB12 weekly finishes. Since Week 9, Jones has had an 11.1% explosive run rate, a 6% missed tackle rate, and only 1.44 yards after contact per attempt. We'll see if the explosive play fest continues, but he has a solid matchup this week to offer RB2/flex value. Since Week 6, Chicago has ranked 16th in rushing yards per game while giving up the 11th-highest explosive run rate and the tenth-highest yards before contact per attempt.
|
|
29.
Nico Collins
WR - HOU (at TEN)
Sometimes, backup QBs can give star receivers a boost for fantasy. This is exactly what we have seen with Davis Mills stepping in with CJ. Stroud is missing time with a concussion. Finishing last week with a 33% target share, Collins had his highest yardage total of the season. Hopefully CJ. Stroud was taking notes for when he returns this week against the Titans. Even if he wasn't paying attention, this is a dream matchup for the Texans. The Titans are allowing the ninth most fantasy points to receivers and should be no match for Nico Collins. The only concern is that this Texans defense could take over this game early, leading to a run-heavy game script. That's worth a thought, but shouldn't detterr you from playing Collins as a top-tier option this week.
|
|
30.
Breece Hall
RB - NYJ (at NE)
Breece Hall is the RB16 in fantasy points per game, averaging 17.7 touches and 98.2 total yards. Hall is still one of the best runners in the NFL. Among 64 qualifying backs, Hall is second in explosive run rate and 16th in missed tackle rate. This week, I don't see him finding much running room, though. Since Week 6, New England has remained a top-shelf run defense, allowing the fewest rushing yards per game, the eighth-lowest yards after contact per attempt, and logging the 11th-best stuff rate. The Patriots should load up to stop the run and force Justin Fields to beat them.
|
|
31.
Kimani Vidal
RB - LAC (at JAC)
Since Week 6, Vidal has been the RB16 in fantasy points per game, averaging 19.2 touches and 87.6 total yards. Among 64 qualifying backs, he ranks 20th in explosive run rate and 34th in yards after contact per attempt. I don't expect another massive game from Vidal this week, though. The Jags' run defense has been nasty. Since Week 6, they have allowed the fifth-lowest explosive run rate, the third-fewest rushing yards per game, the tenth-lowest yards per carry to zone runs (Vidal 60.4% zone), and the fourth-lowest yards before contact per attempt.
|
|
32.
Emeka Egbuka
WR - TB (at BUF)
For years, we have talked about the Steelers constantly finding receiver values in the draft. Although this used to be true, the Bucs have made a compelling case to take over the title. Going from Mike Evans to Chris Godwin, and now Emeka Egbuka, is phenomenal. Plus, let's not overlook what rookie seventh-round pick Tez Johnson is doing. Point being, Egbuka is having an incredible rookie season and already has four top 10 finishes at the position. This week, the Bucs have a big matchup against the Bills. Both of these teams are battling for their respective divisions, and a win for either team would be huge. The Bills have been a top-half team against opposing wideouts; however, we just saw Jaylen Waddle have 84 yards and a score last week. Being the main target for Baker Mayfield, in a matchup with two great offenses, could be a fun game to watch for Egbuka managers.
|
|
33.
Jaylen Waddle
WR - MIA (vs . WAS)
Coming off a shocking win against the Bills last week, Jaylen Waddle looks to keep his productive season going without Tyreek Hill. Over the last few weeks, we have seen Waddle take over as this team's top receiver, with three straight games of 80-plus yards. This week, they take on arguably the worst secondary in the league in the Commanders. Over their last three games, the Commanders have allowed 311 passing yards to opposing teams. On the season, they are allowing the second-most fantasy points to the position. The matchup couldn't be better for Waddle this week.
|
|
34.
Davante Adams
WR - LAR (vs . SEA)
Six touchdowns in his last three games is ridiculous stuff from Adams. Usually, touchdowns are one of the stats with the highest variance. But usually, you don't have two Hall of Fame players connecting on these scores each week. His 22 red zone targets lead the league by five, and have led to eight touchdowns on nine catches. With how the Rams offense is cooking, the touchdown buffet should continue for the veteran receiver. Unfortunately, he left the last game with an oblique injury. However, he was reported to have been able to return if the game was still competitive. It sounds like a little bit of rest, and Adams will be just fine for this week. This week, they have a tough matchup against the team allowing the seventh fewest fantasy points to the position. This week, particularly, Adams may be a little more touchdown reliant than most, but he remains a low-end WR1.
|
|
35.
George Pickens
WR - DAL (at LV)
|
|
36.
George Kittle
TE - SF (at ARI)
Seeing Kittle finish as the TE2 last week with nine receptions, 84 yards, and a score is what fantasy managers have been waiting for. Regardless of whether Brock Purdy comes back, Kittle seems to have found his chemistry with Mac Jones in his absence. Scoring a touchdown and finishing within the top 8 at the position in three of his four games this year is a sight for sore eyes. This week, he faces the Cardinals, whom he has historically found a lot of success against. In his only full game against them last year, he had 12 targets, eight receptions, 64 yards, and a touchdown. After dropping a divisional game to the Rams last week, the 49ers desperately need to avoid falling to another divisional rival this week. For anyone worried about Kittle, take a deep breath because he is back in the top TE discussion for the foreseeable future.
|
|
37.
RJ Harvey
RB - DEN (vs . KC)
RJ Harvey is set to step into an expanded role this week with J.K. Dobbins out. We'll see what that role will be, but I expect him to lead the backfield in touches and contribute on early downs and in the passing game. Harvey has been effective this season with his workload. Among 64 qualifying backs, he ranks 30th in explosive run rate and 21st in missed tackles forced per attempt. Among 61 backs in the passing game, he is third in target per route run rate, eighth in yards per route run, and 11th in first downs per route run. The Chiefs have been vulnerable to backs in the passing game, giving up the 11th-most receiving yards per game and the eighth-highest yards per reception, but they have been a tough rushing matchup. Since Week 6, Kansas City has allowed the second-fewest rushing yards per game, the 11th-lowest explosive run rate, and had the sixth-highest stuff rate. Harvey will need volume and passing game usage to carry him over the finish line as a strong play this week, but that is quite possible.
|
|
38.
Woody Marks
RB - HOU (at TEN)
It looks like Woody Marks has taken the backfield over again. Last week, he played 80% of the offensive snaps with 16 touches and 81 total yards as the RB11 for the week. Overall, among 64 qualifying backs, Marks ranks 25th in explosive run rate and 33rd in yards after contact per attempt. This week, he gets to face a Tennessee run defense that, since Week 6, has allowed the ninth-most rushing yards per game, the 12th-highest explosive run rate, and the 12th-most yards before contact per attempt.
|
|
39.
Ladd McConkey
WR - LAC (at JAC)
Since Week 5, Ladd McConkey has been the WR9 in fantasy points per game with a 24.4% target share, 76.2 receiving yards per game, 2.23 yards per route run, and a 23.1% first-read share. During these six games, he has had ten red zone targets and six deep targets. Jacksonville has utilized two high with 50-70.8% of their defensive snaps in six of their nine games. Since Week 5, McConkey has led the team with 25% while posting 1.60 yards per route run against two high. The matchup is tough for McConkey this week, but he has the talent to overcome it. Since Week 6, Jacksonville has allowed the second-fewest PPR points per target and the tenth-fewest receiving yards per game to slot receivers. Also helping McConkey this week is the fact that Jourdan Lewis will be out. He's been one of the best nickels in the game this season. Jarrian Jones (career: 69.4% catch rate and 84.5 passer rating allowed) will take his place this week.

A.J. Brown
WR - PHI (vs . DET)
A.J. Brown has had a rollercoaster season as the WR30 in fantasy points per game, with three weeks as a top-20 wide receiver in weekly scoring and five games with less than ten fantasy points. Brown has a 24% target share with 51 receiving yards per game, 1.72 yards per route run, and a 30.7% first-read share. Brown has five red zone targets and 11 deep targets this season. This week's matchup could swing the pendulum back in his direction after a down game against Green Bay. The Lions have the seventh-highest single high rate this season (57.1%). Brown's splits against two high and single have been massive. Against single high, he leads the team with a 26% target per route run rate and 2.24 yards per route run. Against two high, those numbers drop off the map to 19% and 1.32. Brown will have to contend with a Detroit secondary that, since Week 6, has allowed the tenth-fewest receiving yards per game to perimeter wide receivers while ranking 15th in PPR points per target. Given his track record this season, Brown is a dice roll, but one that I feel pretty good about this week.

Tee Higgins
WR - CIN (at PIT)
Since Week 6, with Joe Flacco, Tee Higgins has been the WR5 in fantasy points per game with a 15.6% target share, a 31% air-yard share, 80.8 receiving yards per game, 2.20 yards per route run, and a 22.4% first-read share. In those four games, Higgins has four red zone targets and six deep targets. This week, Higgins faces a Pittsburgh pass defense with the third-highest single high rate (62.3%). Since Week 6, against single high, has had a 30% target per route run rate and 2.64 yards per route run. Higgins should tee off this week against a Pittsburgh secondary that, since Week 6, has allowed the third-most fantasy points per game and the most receiving yards per game to perimeter wide receivers.

David Montgomery
RB - DET (at PHI)
David Montgomery is the RB22 in fantasy points per game, averaging 13.2 touches and 63.6 total yards per game. He ranks 25th in carries, 21st in red zone touches, and 23rd in rushing yards. Among 64 qualifying backs, Montgomery ranks 43rd in missed tackles forced per attempt and 19th in yards after contact per attempt. Montgomery should have a solid game this week. Since Week 6, Philly has ranked 18th in rushing yards per game allowed while also having the eighth-lowest stuff rate and giving up the 13th-highest missed tackle rate and ninth-highest yards after contact per attempt.

43.
DeVonta Smith
WR - PHI (vs . DET)
DeVonta Smith has been so incredibly good this season as the WR13 in fantasy points per game. He has a 26.1% target share, a 37.9% air-yard share, 73 receiving yards per game, 2.38 yards per route run, and a 32.5% first-read share. Smith has six red zone targets and leads the team with 13 deep targets. The Lions have the seventh-highest single high rate this season (57.1%). Against single high, Smith is second on the team with a 22% target per route run rate and 2.18 yards per route run. Smith could lead the way for Philly this week as Detroit has struggled to defend the slot. Since Week 6, the Lions have allowed the sixth-most receiving yards per game and the 12th-most PPR points per target to slot receivers.

44.
Zay Flowers
WR - BAL (at CLE)
Zay Flowers is the WR21 in fantasy points per game, with ten deep targets and only five red zone targets. Flowers has all five of his red zone targets in the last five games as the team is using him more often inside the 20-yard line. This week, he faces a Browns' secondary that has utilized single high at the second-highest rate (65%). Against single high, Flowers has eaten with a 30.5% target share, 2.98 yards per route run, and a 35.6% first-read share. Flowers should have a strong game this week. Since Week 6, Cleveland has allowed the 14th-most PPR points per target to perimeter wide receivers.

45.
DK Metcalf
WR - PIT (vs . CIN)
The last time these two teams met, D.J. Turner (2025: 47.4% catch rate and 78.4 passer rating allowed) shadowed D.K. Metcalf on 78.1% of his routes, holding him to four targets, two receptions, and 45 scoreless receiving yards in his coverage. I expect Turner to be in Metcalf's back pocket again this week. Metcalf is the WR29 in fantasy points per game with a 19.9% target share, a 38.6% air-yard share, 1.95 yards per route run, 55.8 receiving yards per game, and a 25.5% first-read share. He has nine red zone targets and ten deep targets this season. Metcalf was the WR42 in weekly scoring his last time out against Cincy. I wouldn't expect a big game from him this week.
|
|
46.
Brock Bowers
TE - LV (vs . DAL)
Turns out Brock Bowers may be matchup proof, but the Raiders are not. Following up his 12 catches, 127 yards, and three touchdown performance, we saw the Broncos limit him to one catch for 31 yards last week. Thankfully, this week they have a better matchup against the Cowboys. Although the Cowboys are decent at stopping the TE position, it likely has to do with the fact that they are allowing the third most yards to wide receivers each week. Good thing Bowers isn't your typical TE, and will likely take advantage of one of the weakest secondaries in the league. It is worth pointing out that the Cowboys traded for star defensive lineman Quinnen Williams last week, who may cause trouble for Geno Smith and this run game. However, there aren't many matchups where the Raiders are projected this many points. Expect a massive bounce-back for the elite sophomore TE.

47.
Rachaad White
RB - TB (at BUF)
Since Week 8, Rachaad White has retained the lead-back role for Tampa Bay. Across his last two games, he has averaged 15 touches and 57.5 total yards with a 64.8% snap rate, a 52.8% route share, and a 10.4% target share. White's per-touch metrics haven't been great this season, with a 1.1% explosive run rate, a 14% missed tackle rate, and 1.70 yards after contact per attempt. Since Week 8, he has had three red zone rushing attempts, with Sean Tucker leading the way with four. Tucker will have a role this week, but I expect White to lead the Bucs in snaps and touches out of the backfield. White is s strong play this week against the Bills' leaky run defense. Since Week 6, they have allowed the sixth-most rushing yards per game, the fifth-highest explosive run rate, the highest missed tackle rate, and yards after contact per attempt.

48.
Rome Odunze
WR - CHI (at MIN)
After last week's strong game, Odunze is the WR15 in fantasy points per game, ranking first among wide receivers in deep targets and 17th in red zone targets. Odunze has a 22.4% target share with 62.1 receiving yards per game, 1.96 yards per route run, and a 26.6.% first-read share. This week, he faces a Minnesota pass defense that leads the NFL in two high rate (69.4%). Against two high, Odunze is third (tied) on the team with a 22% target per route run rate and 1.83 yards per route run. Against two high, he does lead the team with a 25.7% first-read share. Odunze should have another nice game this week against a secondary that, since Week 6, has allowed the most PPR points per target and the third-most receiving yards to perimeter wide receivers.

49.
Jameson Williams
WR - DET (at PHI)
Jameson Williams has raised his season-long ranking to WR37 in fantasy points per game with WR19 and WR2 weekly finishes in his last two games. Over the last two weeks, he has had an 18.1% target share with a 30% air-yard share, 92.5 receiving yards per game, 2.89 yards per route run, and a 20.4% first-read share. Since Week 9, only two of his 13 targets have been downfield, which is a departure from the rest of the season when he's been just a field stretcher for the offense. We'll see if Williams can keep the hot streak going in Week 11, but it won't be easy. Since Week 6, Philly has allowed the second-fewest PPR points per target and the 12th-fewest receiving yards per game to perimeter wide receivers.

50.
Stefon Diggs
WR - NE (vs . NYJ)
Since Week 4, Stefon Diggs has been the WR20 in fantasy points per game with a 68.1% route share, a 24.7% target share, 63.1 receiving yards per game, 2.76 yards per route run, and a 25.4% first-read share. In those seven games, Diggs has ten red zone targets and five deep targets. This week, he faces a Jets' pass defense that, since Week 8, has utilized two high at the fifth-highest rate (62%). Since Week 4, against two high, Diggs has led the team with a 31% target per route run rate and logged 2.31 yards per route run (second-best). Diggs should have no issues in Week 11 running against Brandon Stephens (2025: 64.1% catch rate and 117.1 passer rating allowed) and Jarvis Brownlee Jr. (2025: 75% catch rate and 105.4 passer rating allowed) all game.

51.
Tyrone Tracy Jr.
RB - NYG (vs . GB)
Last week, Tyrone Tracy resumed his lead-back duties for New York. He played 65.7% of the snaps with 14 of 22 running back rushing attempts with a 37.2% route share (5.6% target share). He had only one red zone rushing attempt, though, as Devin Singletary had three. Tracy finished with 15 touches and 71 total yards. Tracy is a volume-driven flex that is a risky bet to get into the end zone this week. Tracy has only a 3.1% explosive run rate, an 8% missed tackle rate, and 2.03 yards after contact per attempt this season. He won't find much room to run this week. Since Week 6, Green Bay has allowed the ninth-lowest explosive run rate, the fourth-lowest missed tackle rate, and the fewest yards after contact per attempt.

52.
Romeo Doubs
WR - GB (at NYG)
Romeo Doubs left last week's game with a chest injury. He practiced in full all week and doesn't carry an injury designation into Week 11. Doubs is the WR34 in fantasy points per game, ranking second on the team with ten red zone targets while leading the way with ten deep targets. Doubs has a 19.6% target share with 49.6 receiving yards per game, 1.85 yards per route run, and a 24.9% first-read share. Since Week 8, the Giants have had the second-highest single high rate (69.8%). Against single high, Doubs has seen his numbers improve across the board with a 20.3% target share, 1.91 yards per route run, and a 27.5% first-read share. Since Week 6, New York has allowed the seventh-most PPR points per target and receiving yards per game to perimeter wide receivers. Doubs is a strong play this week.

Deebo Samuel Sr.
WR - WAS (at MIA)
Deebo Samuel is the WR20 in fantasy points per game with a 24.4% target share, 44 receiving yards per game, 1.65 yards per route run, and a 29.7% first-read share. He has ten red zone targets this season and six deep targets as he is leading the team in both categories. Last week's 12.9 PPR point outing was the first time that Samuel had posted double-digit PPR points since Week 5. This week, he could easily do it again. Since Week 6, Miami has allowed the 11th-most PPR points per target and the 12th-most receiving yards per game to slot receivers.

54.
Jordan Addison
WR - MIN (vs . CHI)
Since Week 9, with J.J. McCarthy under center, Addison has had a 19.4% target share, a 26.1% air-yard share, 41.5 receiving yards per game, 1.20 yards per route run, and a 22.2% first-read share. In those two games, Addison has had one red zone target and three deep targets. This week, he faces a Chicago pass defense that, since Week 6, has utilized single high at the ninth-highest rate (55.3%). Overall, against single high, Addison has seen his target per route run rate dip to 15% with 1.44 yards per route run. This coverage matchup isn't ideal for Addison, but Chicago's secondary has been hapless and could help him boost his stat line this week. Since Week 6, Chicago has allowed the 12th-most receiving yards per game and the tenth-most PPR points per target to perimeter wide receivers. Addison is a decent flex.

55.
Jauan Jennings
WR - SF (at ARI)
Since Week 7, Jauan Jennings has been the WR34 in fantasy points per game, soaking up a 23.1% target share with a 33.5% air-yard share and a 33.3% first-read share. He has churned out 47 receiving yards per game in that span with 1.77 yards per route run. In those four games, he has had five red zone targets and four deep targets. Arizona has the fifth-highest two-high rate in the NFL (58.2%). Since Week 7, against two high, Jennings has had a team-leading 27% target per route run rate with 1.73 yards per route run. Jennings is a strong flex play this week. Since Week 6, Arizona has allowed the 11th-most PPR points per target to perimeter wide receivers while ranking 15th in receiving yards per game.

56.
Kenneth Walker III
RB - SEA (at LAR)
The backfield is slowly turning in Kenneth Walker's direction, but it's tough to tell that from the box scores. Last week, Walker had 14 carries and 67 rushing yards. Zach Charbonnet finished with the same number of carries, and he and George Holani got into the end zone. Walker tied for the team lead with four red zone rushing attempts and led the way with a 40.7% snap rate, a 30.8% route share, and a 46.2% red zone snap share. In the first half, Walker had a 57.1% snap share while Charbonnet had a 28.6% snap rate inside the 20-yard line. Seattle won't run away with this week's game, so we can cancel out last week's George Holani blip. Based on these numbers, I do think that positive regression is coming for Walker, and it could be this week. Among 64 qualifying backs, Walker ranks seventh in explosive run rate and fifth in missed tackle rate. This week, he faces a Rams run defense that, since Week 6, has allowed the eighth-highest yards after contact per attempt, the ninth-highest success rate, the 11th-highest yards per carry to gap runs, the seventh-highest success rate to gap runs, and has logged the 13th-lowest stuff rate. Walker has been the leader for the team in gap run concepts (44.2%). I'm just as worried about Walker disappointing again this week, but the data is quite positive for him this week. I'll close my eyes and plug him into lineups and trust the process.

57.
Quentin Johnston
WR - LAC (at JAC)
Quentin Johnston's usage has bounced back over the last two games despite not having monster fantasy days. Since Week 9, he has had a 21% target share, a 22.9% air-yard share, 47.5 receiving yards per game, 1.42 yards per route run, and a 27.3% first-read share. This week isn't the matchup to continue to ride with Johnston, though, if the Jaguars deploy two high. Jacksonville has utilized two high with 50-70.8% of their defensive snaps in six of their nine games. They do have three single high heavy games as well, so if they go single high heavy, then Johnston would lead the team in the passing game. It's a risk to fade Johnston this week, but if Jacksonville does lean on two high, he won't be heavily involved. Against two high, Johnston has a 15% target per route run rate (fifth on the team) and only 1.14 yards per route run (fifth on the team). Since Week 6, Jacksonville has allowed the fourth-most PPR points per target and the ninth-most receiving yards per game to perimeter wide receivers. Jacksonville's outside corners have struggled, which could also help Johnston. He's a volatile player this week who could be feast or famine. Johnston has been listed as questionable this week (shin). He was limited in practice all week before logging a full session on Friday.

58.
Tetairoa McMillan
WR - CAR (at ATL)
Tetairoa McMillan is the WR34 in fantasy points per game, ranking 11th in red zone targets and 26th in deep targets among wide receivers. McMillan has a 24.5% target share, a 43.6% air-yard share, 61.8 receiving yards per game, 1.99 yards per route run, and a 30.1% first-read share. The volume constraints this offense has placed upon him have been capping his weekly upside. Across his last five games, he has surpassed 65 receiving yards only once. The matchup is good for McMillan, but it's fair like I said to question his weekly upside at this point because of the offense that he is stuck in. Atlanta has the highest single high rate in the NFL (71.3%). Against single high, McMillan has seen his target per route run rate increase to 26% with 2.05 yards per route run. It's a marginal increase, so don't hit a backflip out of your seat. Atlanta's issues covering perimeter wide receivers could help him this week, though. Since Week 6, they have allowed the eighth-most PPR points per target to perimeter wide receivers.

59.
Kareem Hunt
RB - KC (at DEN)
With Isiah Pacheco likely out again this week, Kareem Hunt will operate as the team's bell cow again. In Week 9, Hunt played 80.7% of the snaps with a 50% route share (2.9% target share). Hunt finished with only 12 touches and 55 total yards. Hunt is a volume play. He has only a 1% explosive run rate this season with a 10% missed tackle rate and 2.23 yards after contact per attempt. Hunt needs volume and likely at least one touchdown to pay off for fantasy this week. Since Week 6, Denver has allowed the seventh-fewest rushing yards per game, the lowest explosive run rate, the 13th-lowest missed tackle rate, and the sixth-lowest rushing success rate.
|

60.
Khalil Shakir
WR - BUF (vs . TB)
Khalil Shakir is the WR30 in fantasy points per game, commanding a 20.8% target share and 24% first-read share while churning out 50.8 receiving yards per game with 1.98 yards per route run. Shakir leads the team with eight red zone targets while chipping in with four deep targets. Shakir is a mid-range flex play again this week with a rough matchup. Since Week 6, Tampa Bay has allowed the fifth-fewest PPR points per target to slot receivers while ranking 17th in receiving yards per game allowed.

61.
Courtland Sutton
WR - DEN (vs . KC)
Courtland Sutton is the WR25 in fantasy points per game with an 18.6% target share, 59 receiving yards per game, 1.93 yards per route run, and a 23.2% first-read share. Sutton is second on the team in red zone targets (six) and third in deep targets (ten). This week, he faces a Kansas City pass defense that, since Week 5, has had the ninth-highest single-high rate (56%). Sutton leads the team against single high with a 23.2% target share, 2.29 yards per route run, and a 27.7% first-read share. Sutton has a nice matchup this week as the Chiefs, since Week 6, have allowed the fifth-most PPR points per target and the fourth-highest passer rating when targeted to perimeter wide receivers.
|
|
62.
Zach Charbonnet
RB - SEA (at LAR)
Last week, Zach Charbonnet played 37.3% of the snaps with a 15.4% route share and 30.8% red zone snap share. Kenneth Walker outpaced Charbonnet in each of those categories. Walker also had four red zone rushing attempts while Charbonnet logged three. This backfield appears to be slowly turning in Walker's favor despite the box score not showing it. Last week, Charbonnet finished with 14 touches and 83 total yards (one score). As Charbonnet has gotten healthy, his efficiency numbers have improved, as he has a 16% missed tackle rate and 2.43 yards after contact per attempt now. This week, he still offers flex/RB2 value against a Rams run defense that, since Week 6, has allowed the eighth-highest yards after contact per attempt, the ninth-highest success rate, and has logged the 13th-lowest stuff rate.
|
|
63.
Kyle Monangai
RB - CHI (at MIN)
Last week, Kyle Monangai returned to being the 1B in the backfield with a 39.1% snap rate, a 34.1% route share, and a 2.8% target share. He did have one red zone rushing attempt, which he converted into a touchdown, finishing with seven touches and 28 total yards. Monangai is a touchdown-dependent flex play this week. Since Week 6, Minnesota has allowed the 12th-most rushing yards per game, the 12th-highest missed tackle rate, and ranked 16th in stuff rate.
|
|
64.
Tre Tucker
WR - LV (vs . DAL)
Last week, with Tyler Lockett becoming a full-time player, Tre Tucker took a step back. He still led the team with a 94.3% route share, but he had only an 11.1% target share, 28 receiving yards, 0.85 yards per route run, and a 15.8% first-read share. Excluding his monster Week 3 game, Tucker has had a 15.4% target share, 38.8 receiving yards per game, 1.25 yards per route run, and a 20.1% first-read share. In those eight games, he has had only three red zone targets and six deep targets. Tucker is a low-end flex play this week and only viable because the matchup with Dallas is that good. Since Week 6, Dallas has allowed the sixth-most PPR points per target and the fourth-most receiving yards per game to perimeter wide receivers.
|
|
65.
Xavier Worthy
WR - KC (at DEN)
Since Rashee Rice's return, Xavier Worthy hasn't finished higher than WR38 in weekly scoring (WR47, WR38, WR57). Since Week 7, Worthy has had a 17.5% target share with 37 receiving yards per game, 1.21 yards per route run, and a 24.3% first-read share. In those three games, Worthy has had two red zone targets and three deep targets. Worthy is a sit this week. Since Week 8, Denver has had the fourth-highest two-high rate (63.7%). Against two high, Worthy has disappeared this season with a 16% target per route run rate and 0.67 yards per route run. Since Week 6, Denver has allowed the fourth-fewest PPR points per target to perimeter wide receivers.

66.
Oronde Gadsden II
TE - LAC (at JAC)
Fantasy managers can breathe a sigh of relief after hearing that Gadsden only suffered a quad bruise last Sunday. The breakout rookie TE played just over half the game before exiting with what was reported to be a knee injury. Even in his limited play, he saw six targets. Unfortunately, this only led to three receptions for 13 yards, but it was great to see his usage continue. This week they face the Jaguars, who allowed Dalton Schultz to have his best game of his season with seven receptions, 53 yards, and a score. The Chargers have a lot of weapons to feed; however, Gadsden has been a focal point since their bye week. Continue to ride the rookie phenom in a great matchup this week.

67.
Wan'Dale Robinson
WR - NYG (vs . GB)
Wan'Dale Robinson is the WR26 in fantasy points per game with a 23.5% target share, 60.2 receiving yards per game, 1.73 yards per route run, and a 28.3% first-read share. Robinson is second on the team with six red zone targets and leads the team with 11 deep targets. This week's matchup with Green Bay isn't a great one. Since Week 6, Green Bay has limited slot receivers to the 14th-fewest PPR points per target and the second-fewest receiving yards per game. Robinson's underneath role also doesn't play well against a defense that has allowed the fifth-fewest yards after the catch. Robinson is a PPR flex only this week as he's still a solid volume bet while the ceiling isn't high.

68.
Tony Pollard
RB - TEN (vs . HOU)
Since Week 7, the Tennessee backfield has been a near-even split, with Tony Pollard having a 54.3% snap rate with a 33.3% route share and 10.8% target share. He has averaged 11.7 touches and 60.6 total yards during this three-game stretch with four red zone rushing attempts (Spears, four). I don't want to flex either of these Titans backs this week. Since Week 6, Houston has allowed the fifth-fewest rushing yards per game, the fifth-lowest rushing success rate, the lowest missed tackle rate, and they have had the seventh-highest stuff rate.
|
|
69.
Christian Watson
WR - GB (at NYG)
Christian Watson is a high upside flex play this week. Since his return in Week 8, he has operated as the team's field stretcher with 50% of his 12 targets coming downfield and Watson logging a 25.8 aDOT. Since Week 8, he has had a 10.9% target share with a 38.2% air-yard share, 2.29 yards per route run, and a 13.8% first-read share. Since Week 8, the Giants have had the second-highest single high rate (69.8%). Since his return, Watson has had a 16% target per route run rate and ranked second on the team in yards per route run (2.58) against single high. Watson's downfield role will come in handy this week against a secondary that has allowed the fifth-most deep passing yards per game and the 11th-highest passer rating to downfield targets. Watson should have a strong game against a secondary that, since Week 6, has allowed the seventh-most PPR points per target and receiving yards per game to perimeter wide receivers.

70.
Troy Franklin
WR - DEN (vs . KC)
Troy Franklin is in the midst of a breakout season. Franklin is the WR32 in fantasy points per game with top-26 weekly finishes in three of his last four games. Franklin has been giving Courtland Sutton a run for his money, leading the team with a 20.3% target share while averaging 42.5 receiving yards per game with 1.50 yards per route run and a 23.2% first-read share (tied for the team lead). Franklin leads the team in red zone targets (14) and deep targets (16). Franklin is tied for fifth in the NFL in red zone targets. This week, he faces a Kansas City pass defense that, since Week 5, has had the ninth-highest single-high rate (56%). Against single high, Franklin is second on the team with a 22.1% target share with 1.80 yards per route run and a 24.1% first-read share (second on the team). Franklin should have another strong week. Since Week 6, Kansas City has allowed the fifth-most PPR points per target and the fourth-highest passer rating when targeted to perimeter wide receivers.

71.
Sean Tucker
RB - TB (at BUF)
Across his last two games, Tucker has averaged a 33.6% snap rate with 11 touches and 46.5 total yards per game. He has led the backfield in red zone rushing attempts with four (White, three). Tucker sports a 6.3% explosive run rate this season, but his 9% missed tackle rate and 1.88 yards after contact per attempt aren't as impressive. Tucker will operate as Tampa Bay's Tyler Allgeier this week. He's flex viable and really needs a touchdown to pay off. Since Week 6, they have allowed the sixth-most rushing yards per game, the fifth-highest explosive run rate, the highest missed tackle rate, and yards after contact per attempt.

73.
Jacory Croskey-Merritt
RB - WAS (at MIA)
Bench Bill this week. Before Chris Rodriguez got hurt last week, I looked like Bill had been benched. In the first half, he had only a 16% snap rate while handling only two of ten running back carries with a 7.7% route share. Chris Rodriguez is expected to be a full-go this week, which means Bill will only be a change of pace back.
|
|
74.
Keon Coleman
WR - BUF (vs . TB)
Since Week 2, Keon Coleman has been the WR71 in fantasy points per game. Last week's WR26 finish in weekly scoring was the first time that Coleman had been a top-40 fantasy wide receiver in weekly scoring since Week 1. Since Week 2, Coleman has had a 16.6% target share with 27.3 receiving yards per game, 1.21 yards per route run, and a 20.6% first-read share. In those eight games, Coleman has had two red zone targets and ten deep targets. I don't want to chase last week's small blip, but if you do, this isn't a bad matchup to do so. Since Week 6, Tampa Bay has allowed the sixth-most PPR points per target and the second-most receiving yards per game to perimeter wide receivers.

75.
Jake Ferguson
TE - DAL (at LV)
It was a great run for the recently extended TE out of Wisconsin-Madison University. Unfortunately, since CeeDee Lamb has returned, he has taken a step back. With only eight targets in his last two games, he remains in the TE1 discussion due to his involvement on a high-powered passing attack. This week, they have a juicy matchup against the Raiders on Monday Night. The Raiders have been surprisingly effective against the TE position. The Raiders are averaging the third fewest receptions, sixth fewest yards, and fourth fewest touchdowns to opposing TEs. With an over-under set at 50.5 points, Ferguson has a great chance at finding the endzone in what should be a shootout. However, if he has another down week, it may be time to look elsewhere, as his schedule doesn't get much better.

Parker Washington
WR - JAC (vs . LAC)
Since Week 7, Parker Washington has been the WR18 in fantasy points per game with a 21.9% target share, a 34.2% air-yard share, 58.3 receiving yards per game, 1.68 yards per route run, and a 25% first-read share. In those three games, Washington has had four red zone targets and five deep targets. Last week, he ran 55.2% of his routes from the slot. I expect him to continue to be the team's slot receiver until Travis Hunter returns. Washington remains a strong volume-based flex option. Since Week 6, the Chargers have faced the eighth-fewest slot targets, but they have allowed the 14th-most PPR points per target to the position.Â

Tyjae Spears
RB - TEN (vs . HOU)
Since Week 7, the Titans' backfield has been an even split with Spears having a 46.3% snap rate while averaging ten touches and 61.4 total yards. During those three games, he also had four red zone rushing attempts (Pollard, four) with a 38.9% route share and 10.8% target share. Sit Spears this week in a bad matchup. Since Week 6, Houston has allowed the fifth-fewest rushing yards per game, the fifth-lowest rushing success rate, the lowest missed tackle rate, and they have had the seventh-highest stuff rate.

79.
Dallas Goedert
TE - PHI (vs . DET)
Dallas Goedert has had an insane season with seven touchdowns already. He is the TE4 in fantasy points per game with a 20.1% target share, 41.5 receiving yards per game, 1.57 yards per route run, and a 21.7% first-read share. He leads the team with seven red zone targets and has chipped in six deep targets. The matchup is middle-of-the-road for Goedert this week. Detroit ranks 17th in receiving yards per game and schedule-adjusted fantasy points per game against tight ends. Goedert could turn in another TE1 performance in Week 11.

80.
Tez Johnson
WR - TB (at BUF)
Since assuming a starting spot in Week 6, Tez Johnson has been the WR21 in fantasy points per game. During that stretch, he has had a 15% target share with 47 receiving yards per game, 1.55 yards per route run, and a 14.8% first-read share. None of those metrics are eye popping. What has carried Johnson's fantasy value has been touchdowns, with four in his last four games. Johnson has been getting plenty of high-leverage usage to suggest he can continue to ride the lightning with four red zone targets and three deep targets in his last four games. Buffalo has the ninth-highest two-high rate in the NFL (54.7%). Since Week 6, against two high, Johnson has had a 20% target per route run rate and 1.98 yards per route run. Johnson is a solid flex play again this week against a Buffalo secondary that, since Week 6, has ranked 15th in PPR points per target allowed to perimeter wide receivers.

Emari Demercado
RB - ARI (vs . SF)
If you're picking between flex options from the Arizona backfield this week, Emari Demercado is my preferred option. Last week, he had only one red zone rushing attempt, which isn't great, but he has been the more efficient back by a mile with a 15.4% explosive run rate and 19% missed tackle rate. Last week, he played only 41.1% of the snaps with a 38.9% route share, but he turned his seven touches into 104 total yards. The matchup isn't great this week, so Demercado likely needs a touchdown or big play to pay off as a flex. Since Week 6, the 49ers have allowed the eighth-lowest explosive run rate, the third-lowest missed tackle rate, and the 14th-lowest yards after contact per attempt.

83.
Keenan Allen
WR - LAC (at JAC)
Keenan Allen has seen his usage dip since Week 8 with a 54.9% route share, a 16.1% target share, 34.7 receiving yards per game, 1.68 yards per route run, and a 15.8% first-read share. In those three games, he has had one red zone target and two deep targets. Since Week 8, he has been the WR74 in fantasy points per game. It has been a tough run out for Keenan Allen during crunch time in the fantasy season. Jacksonville has utilized two high with 50-70.8% of their defensive snaps in six of their nine games. Allen has led the team with a 24% target per route run rate against two high while ranking second in yards per route run (1.88). This is a good bounce-back spot for him if the Chargers increase his playing time this week, but there's an equal possibility that they keep him in this new part-time role and it caps his ceiling in Week 11. Since Week 6, Jacksonville has allowed the fourth-most PPR points per target and the ninth-most receiving yards per game to perimeter wide receivers.
|

84.
Kyle Pitts Sr.
TE - ATL (vs . CAR)
Kyle Pitts is the TE15 in fantasy points per game with four TE1 outings this season. Pitts has a 19.8% target share with 46.7 receiving yards per game, 1.49 yards per route run, and a 17.8% first-read share. He has five red zone targets and four deep targets. Pitts has a wonderful matchup this week against a Carolina defense that has allowed the sixth-most receiving yards, the second-highest yards per reception, and the fifth-most fantasy points per game to tight ends. He could easily post his fifth TE1 outing this week.
|
|
85.
Cade Otton
TE - TB (at BUF)
Since Week 5, Otton has been the TE11 in fantasy points per game, drawing a 21.4% target share with 63.8 receiving yards per game, 2.20 yards per route run, and a 16.7% first-read share. Otton has zero touchdowns in this five-game sample, which isn't surprising when you consider that he has ZERO red zone targets or deep targets during this stretch. I don't want to stream Otton this week. You're just point chasing. Buffalo has allowed the fewest receiving yards per game and fantasy points per game to tight ends this season.
|
|
86.
Travis Kelce
TE - KC (at DEN)
Travis Kelce is the TE7 in fantasy points per game, ranking 12th among tight ends in deep targets and eighth in red zone targets. Kelce has a 16.5% target share with 60 receiving yards per game, 2.02 yards per route run, and an 18.4% first-read share. Since Week 8, Denver has had the fourth-highest two-high rate (63.7%). Against two high, Kelce has a 21% target per route run rate and 1.84 yards per route run. Both are strong numbers. Kelce should post TE1-worthy numbers this week. Denver ranks 16th in receiving yards per game and has allowed the most yards per reception to tight ends this season.
|
|
87.
DJ Moore
WR - CHI (at MIN)
D.J. Moore is the WR42 in fantasy points per game with three top-36 weekly finishes this season (WR29, WR31, WR4). Moore could post a wonderful stat line this week. He has had a 15.4% target share with 44.8 receiving yards per game, 1.50 yards per route run, and a 16.3% first-read share. Moore has seen four red zone targets and seven deep targets. This week, he faces a Minnesota pass defense that leads the NFL in two high rate (69.4%). Against two high, Moore's target share has jumped to 19% with 1.95 yards per route run with an 18.9% first-read share. Moore should excel this week against a secondary that, since Week 6, has allowed the most PPR points per target and the third-most receiving yards to perimeter wide receivers.
|
|
88.
Mack Hollins
WR - NE (vs . NYJ)
I hope you read the Primer last week. Mack Hollins stepped up in a big way with an 80.6% route share, a 32.3% target share, a 44.6% air-yard share, 106 receiving yards, and a 36.8% first-read share. Hollins had a red zone target and three deep targets. I don't think he'll equal that performance this week, but the coverage matchup is again in his favor to be a strong flex play. Hollins has excelled against two high coverage this season. This week, he faces a Jets' pass defense that, since Week 8, has utilized two high at the fifth-highest rate (62%). Against two-high, Hollins is second on the team with a 23% target per route run rate, and he leads the team with 2.36 yards per route run. Hollins should excel in Week 11 running against Brandon Stephens (2025: 64.1% catch rate and 117.1 passer rating allowed) and Jarvis Brownlee Jr. (2025: 75% catch rate and 105.4 passer rating allowed) all game.

89.
Mark Andrews
TE - BAL (at CLE)
Mark Andrews has finished as a TE1 in each of the last two games, but touchdowns fueled it. Since Week 9, Andrews has been the TE5 and TE9 in weekly scoring with three red zone targets and three scores. Since Week 8, he hasn't seen more than five targets in a game or finished with more than 34 receiving yards. It has been a tough season for Andrews. We can't depend on him to score weekly to float his fantasy value. Overall, he is the TE19 in fantasy points per game, with a 16% target share, 27.1 receiving yards per game, 1.41 yards per route run, and a 21.1% first-read share. The Browns have held tight ends to the seventh-fewest receiving yards per game and the 14th-fewest fantasy points per game. Sit Andrews this week.

90.
Hunter Henry
TE - NE (vs . NYJ)
Hunter Henry is the TE20 in fantasy points per game and hasn't been a TE1 in weekly scoring since Week 4. Henry has a 15.6% target share with 37.7 receiving yards per game, 1.44 yards per route run, and a 17.3% first-read share. Henry is second on the team with nine red zone targets and third in deep targets (five). This week, he faces a Jets' pass defense that, since Week 8, has utilized two high at the fifth-highest rate (62%). Against two-high, Henry is fourth on the team with a 15% target per route run rate and 1.25 yards per route run. Those aren't great numbers, but Henry could save himself with a touchdown this week. The Jets have allowed the ninth-fewest receiving yards per game and the fifth-fewest yards per reception to tight ends, but they have also given up the third-most receiving touchdowns per game to the position.

91.
Rashid Shaheed
WR - SEA (at LAR)
Last week, Rashid Shaheed had a 61.5% route share with an 8.3% target share, only three receiving yards, and a 14.3% first-read share. He spent the day running half of his routes from the slot and the other half on the perimeter. He did draw a red zone target in his first game. We need to see Shaheed's role flesh itself out some more before I'm willing to flex him. If the matchup were better, I'd consider it, but since Week 6, the Rams have allowed the seventh-fewest PPR points per target to perimeter or slot receivers.
|
|
92.
Jerry Jeudy
WR - CLE (vs . BAL)
Last week, Jerry Jeudy hit a lot of first-time milestones for the 2025 season. His first top 24 weekly finish of the season (WR11). He scored his first touchdown of the season. Jeudy also managed more than 70 receiving yards for the first time. Do I think this is the beginning of Jeudy's reemergence? Naw, I wish I could say yes, but I can't. With Dillon Gabriel under center, Jeudy has had a 20% target share, 30.6 receiving yards per game, 0.90 yards per route run, and a 27% first-read share. In those five games, Jeudy has six red zone targets and three deep targets. If you want/need to flex Jeudy this week, I get it, but let that be related to the plus matchup and not that you're chasing last week's fantasy points. Since Week 6, Baltimore has allowed the 12th-most fantasy points per game and the sixth-most receiving yards per game to perimeter wide receivers.
|
|
93.
Michael Wilson
WR - ARI (vs . SF)
Michael Wilson will operate as the team's second option in the passing game this week behind Trey McBride. Wilson hasn't finished as a top-36 wide receiver in weekly scoring this season in any week. He has only an 11.6% target share with 25.7 receiving yards per game, 0.78 yards per route run, and a 14.9% first-read share. Wilson has six red zone targets and five deep targets this season. He's a low-end flex play this week. San Francisco has shut down perimeter wide receivers. Since Week 6, they have allowed the 13th-fewest PPR points per target and the sixth-fewest receiving yards per game to the position.
|
|
94.
Theo Johnson
TE - NYG (vs . GB)
Since Week 5, Theo Johnson has been the TE13 in fantasy points per game with an 18.8% target share, 41.3 receiving yards per game, 1.39 yards per route run, and a 21.4% first-read share. He has run hot with touchdowns with four scores in those six games. In those six games, he has had six red zone targets and one deep target. Johnson is only a low-end streaming option this week at tight end. Green Bay has allowed the 14th-fewest receiving yards per game and the lowest yards per reception to tight ends. Johnson could score again this week and save his fantasy day, though. Green Bay has allowed the ninth-most receiving touchdowns per game to tight ends.

95.
Darnell Mooney
WR - ATL (vs . CAR)
Last week, Atlanta tried to force-feed Darnell Mooney with a 28.6% target share, a 31% air-yard share, and a 36.8% first-read share, but the results were pretty what they have been all season. Mooney secured only one of his eight targets with 17 scoreless receiving yards. In Mooney's defense, only three of his eight targets were deemed catchable. Overall, he has a 14.7% target share, 27.1 receiving yards per game, 0.95 yards per route run, and a 20.4% first-read share. Mooney has had three red zone targets and five deep targets. Mooney is a desperation flex only at this point. Since Week 6, Carolina has allowed the 13th-most PPR points per target to perimeter wide receivers while ranking 17th in receiving yards per game.
|
|
96.
Jakobi Meyers
WR - JAC (vs . LAC)
Last week, Jakobi Meyers had only a 50% route share with a 13% target share and a 21.4% first-read share. He turned that into three receptions and 41 receiving yards. I'm avoiding flexing Meyers this week with his route share up in the air, although I do expect it to increase some. The matchup isn't great, so it's tough to expect Meyers to maximize a part-time role in Week 11. Since Week 6, the Bolts have allowed the third-fewest PPR points per target and the ninth-fewest receiving yards per game to perimeter wide receivers.

97.
Chris Rodriguez Jr.
RB - WAS (at MIA)
Last week, Chris Rodriguez left the game with a shoulder injury. He is practicing in full to open the week and is expected to play. I expect him to lead the way for Washington's ground game this week. In the first half of last week's game, Rodriguez had a 68% snap share and handled six of ten running back rushing attempts while logging a 53.8% route share. Among 64 qualifying backs, Rodgriquez ranks third in yards after contact per attempt. Rodriguez is a strong flex play this week. Since Week 6, Miami has allowed the eighth-highest explosive run rate, the seventh-highest yards after contact per attempt, and ranked 19th in rushing yards per game.
|

98.
Dalton Schultz
TE - HOU (at TEN)
Dalton Schultz has been on a heater with TE7 and TE4 weekly scoring finishes in the last two games. Since Week 3, Schultz has had an 18.5% target share, 54.4 receiving yards per game, 1.75 yards per route run, and a 20.2% first-read share. In those seven games, he has had four red zone targets and three deep targets. This isn't the week to chase points, though. Schultz has a rough matchup this week. Tennessee has allowed the eighth-fewest schedule-adjusted fantasy points per game, the tenth-fewest receiving yards per game, and the eighth-lowest yards per reception.

99.
Calvin Austin III
WR - PIT (vs . CIN)
Calvin Austin hasn't been a strong fantasy producer all season, but he does have three top-36 finishes in weekly scoring this season among wide receivers (WR16, WR31, WR35). Austin has a 16.5% target share with 33.9 receiving yards per game, 1.37 yards per route run, and a 21.5% first-read share. Austin has three red zone targets and seven deep targets this season. Austin missed the last meeting with the Bengals with a shoulder issue. With DJ Turner following D.K. Metcalf, Austin should see Cam Taylor-Britt (66.7% catch rate and 133.9 passer rating allowed) and Dax Hill (77.8% catch rate and 113.3 passer rating allowed) all day, which should lead to a fruitful stat line. Austin is a strong flex play this week.

Zach Ertz
TE - WAS (at MIA)
Zach Ertz is the TE16 in fantasy points per game with two TE1 weeks this season. Ertz has two deep targets and five red zone targets this season. Ertz has a 17.3% target share with 34.5 receiving yards per game, 1.40 yards per route run, and a 20.5% first-read share. Ertz is a strong streaming option this week at tight end. Miami has allowed the fifth-most receiving yards per game, the seventh-highest yards per reception, and the third-most fantasy points per game to tight ends.
|

102.
Malik Washington
WR - MIA (vs . WAS)
Since becoming Jaylen Waddle's running mate in the Dolphins' passing attack in Week 5, Malik Washington has had a 61.8% route share, a 14.9% target share, 24.2 receiving yards per game, 1.15 yards per route run, and a 16.4% first-read share. During that span, he had seven red-zone targets and two deep targets. Malik Washington isn't an awe-inspiring flex option, but he's definitely a viable one for Week 11. Since Week 6, the Commanders have allowed the fifth-most PPR points and the most receiving yards per game to slot receivers.

Tyler Lockett
WR - LV (vs . DAL)
Last week, Tyler Lockett ranked third on the team with a 65.7% route share but he led the way with a 22.2% target share while having 44 receiving yards, 1.91 yards per route run, and a 21.1% first-read share. He immediately stepped up as the number two option in the passing attack behind Brock Bowers which is quite telling about Tre Tucker if Lockett could hop him in the target pecking order so quickly. Lockett is a surprisingly strong flex play this week against a Dallas secondary that since Week 6 has allowed the second-most PPR points per target and the second-highest passer rating when targeted to slot receivers.

106.
Harold Fannin Jr.
TE - CLE (vs . BAL)
With Dillon Gabriel under center, Fannin Jr. has been the TE11 in fantasy points per game. Since Week 5, he has had a 20% target share, 47.2 receiving yards per game, 1.75 yards per route run, and a 20.9% first-read share. In those five games, Fannin has three red zone targets (two scores) and zero deep targets. Baltimore has allowed the 14th-most receiving yards per game while sitting at 18th in yards per reception against tight ends. Fannin is a low-end streaming option this week.

Cooper Kupp
WR - SEA (at LAR)
Last week, Cooper Kupp had a 61.5% route share with a 16.7% target share, 74 receiving yards, and zero first reads. The game went sideways in a blowout. A big takeaway from that small sample was that Kupp ran 75% of his routes on the perimeter. We could see his usage vary week to week as Seattle exploits matchups, but it's still noteworthy. Kupp has four top-36 weekly finishes this season (WR21, WR32, WR24, WR35), but he has also finished outside the top-50 wide receivers four times. He's not worth burning a flex spot over this week. The target volume concerns remain, but also, this is a bad matchup for him. Since Week 6, the Rams have allowed the seventh-fewest PPR points per target to perimeter wide receivers.

109.
Colston Loveland
TE - CHI (at MIN)
Last week, with Cole Kmet back in the lineup, Loveland led the way with a 51.2% route share, but he only had an 11.1% target share with 55 receiving yards and an 8.7% first-read share. With that type of usage, he's only a low-end steaming option this week. Loveland is tied for third on the team in red zone targets (four) while also seeing two deep targets. Minnesota has allowed the 12th-most receiving yards and the tenth-most fantasy points per game to tight ends.

Chimere Dike
WR - TEN (vs . HOU)
I won't waste words here. I don't want to play any Tennessee skill players this week, much less their starting slot receiver. Just when we thought we could trust a Tennessee pass catcher, Dike follows up his strong Week 8 performance with three targets and five receiving yards and in Week 9. Houston has allowed the ninth-fewest schedule-adjusted fantasy points per game to slot receivers.

Luke Musgrave
TE - GB (at NYG)
In his first game as the Packers' starting tight end this season, Musgrave had a 76.2% route share with an 8.3% target share, 23 receiving yards, and 0.72 yards per route run. Musgrave had a 3.3 aDOT and a 15.8% first-read share. This isn't the matchup to look to stream Musgrave against. The Giants have allowed the 12th-fewest receiving yards per game, the seventh-fewest yards per reception, and the tenth-fewest fantasy points per game to tight ends.

T.J. Hockenson
TE - MIN (vs . CHI)
With J.J. McCarthy under center, T.J. Hockenson hasn't finished higher than TE19 in weekly scoring. In those four games, he hasn't managed more than 15 receiving yards in any game and has one red zone target. In this sample, Hockenson has had an 11.1% target share, 0.45 yards per route run, and an 11.6% first-read share. The matchup is nice for Hockenson this week, but I don't know if he'll get the volume to take advantage of it. Chicago has allowed the tenth-most receiving yards per game and the 11th-most fantasy points per game to tight ends.
|
|
116.
Elic Ayomanor
WR - TEN (vs . HOU)
I'll keep this short and sweet. I don't want to play any Tennessee pass-catching option against Houston this week. Ayomanor hasn't managed double-digit fantasy points since Week 3. I don't think that he breaks that streak this week against a pass defense that has allowed the lowest schedule-adjusted fantasy points per game to perimeter wide receivers.

118.
David Njoku
TE - CLE (vs . BAL)
Last week, Njoku's route share dipped to 48.8% with only a 6.3% target share and a 7.4% first-read share. If Njoku's only a part-time player now, he's off the fantasy radar. I don't know if that was a one-week blip or a sign of things to come, but I can't play him this week until we see if that is the beginning of a usage trend.

Jonnu Smith

120.
Mason Taylor
TE - NYJ (at NE)
Since Week 4, Taylor has been the TE24 in fantasy points per game with three TE1 outings (TE11, TE8, TE7). Since Week 4, he has had a 20.4% target share with 33.8 receiving yards per game, 1.22 yards per route run, and a 22.5% first-read share. In those six games, Taylor has had seven red zone targets and one score. Taylor is a decent streaming option this week, but with the level of quarterback play for the Jets, he does carry risk. New England has allowed the eighth-most receiving yards per game, the 11th-highest yards per reception, and the ninth-most fantasy points per game to tight ends.

Jayden Higgins
WR - HOU (at TEN)
Jayden Higgins is the only other Houston wide receiver (outside of Nico Collins) who has any type of fringe flex viability. Last week, Xavier Hutchinson had a 51% route share and didn't draw a single target. Christian Kirk and Jaylin Noel logged 44.9% and 32.7% route shares. In Week 10, Higgins had a 49% route share, which isn't great and was fourth on the team, but he had a 15.6% target share, a 22% air-yard share, finishing with a 29% target per route run rate, 42 receiving yards, 1.75 yards per route run, and a 16.7% first-read share. Higgins also had two red zone targets and a deep target. I hate Houston's deployment of their wide receivers so much this season. It makes me furious. Higgins is a risky flex play that could pay off this week. Since Week 6, the Titans have allowed the fifth-most receiving yards per game and the second-most PPR points per target to perimeter wide receivers.

Ridley is the WR57 in fantasy points per game with only one top-36 weekly finish this season. In six games played this season, Ridley has only four deep targets and one red zone target. I have zero interest in plugging Ridley into a flex spot this week against a secondary that, since Week 6, has allowed the fifth-fewest PPR points per target and the fewest receiving yards per game to perimeter wide receivers.

Ricky Pearsall
WR - SF (at ARI)
Ricky Pearsall will be back this week. In Weeks 1-3, he was the WR16 in fantasy points per game with a 20.9% target share, a 49.5% air-yard share, 93.7 receiving yards per game, 2.60 yards per route run, and a 27.8% first-read share. In those three games, he had three red zone targets and six deep targets. This week, he faces a secondary that has utilized two high at the fifth-highest rate (58.2%). Against two high, Pearsall has seen his target share dip to 13.9% with 1.23 yards per route run and a 19.1% first-read share. Pearsall is still a viable flex play this week, even if I don't think he'll be a high-volume option this week in the 49ers' passing attack, as Arizona's secondary has been vulnerable. Since Week 6, Arizona has allowed the 11th-most PPR points per target to perimeter wide receivers while ranking 15th in receiving yards per game.

Matthew Golden
WR - GB (at NYG)
Matthew Golden is dealing with a shoulder injury. He was limited all week in practice and has been listed as questionable. In the last game he was active, Golden had only a 39.5% route share, 8.1% target share, and 8.7% first-read share. I expect him to be a part-time player this week again. Sit Golden this week.

Brashard Smith
RB - KC (at DEN)
I love Brashard Smith just as much as the next degen, but I can't play him this week. Kareem Hunt operated as the team's bellcow in the last game before the bye. Smith had only a 17.5% snap rate, three touches, and seven total yards. I was expecting, with Isiah Pacheco out in Week 9, that Smith would get more playing time, but it didn't happen. Hold Smith on your bench if you want, but he's not flex-worthy this week.

Zonovan Knight
RB - ARI (vs . SF)
Zonovan Knight left last week's game with an ankle injury. He practiced on a limited basis this week and has been listed as questionable. Last week, he had a 46.6% snap rate, a 27.8% route share, an 8.9% target share, 11 touches, and 37 total yards. Knight led the backfield with two red zone rushing attempts. He hasn't been impressive this season with only a 2.1% explosive run rate, an 8% missed tackle rate, and 1.60 yards after contact per attempt. Knight is a low-end touchdown-dependent flex. Since Week 6, the 49ers have allowed the eighth-lowest explosive run rate, the third-lowest missed tackle rate, and the 14th-lowest yards after contact per attempt.

Brian Thomas Jr.
WR - JAC (vs . LAC)
It looks like Brian Thomas Jr. will suit up this week. If he is active, he'll be out there at less than 100% as he plays through an ankle injury. He had limited practices all week and has been listed as questionable. Thomas Jr. has been a tough player to feel confident in this season, much less this week, when he'll be operating at less than 100% in a tough matchup. Thomas is the WR40 in fantasy points per game with one top-24 weekly finish among wide receivers. Thomas has a 20.1% target share with 52.5 receiving yards per game, 1.60 yards per route run, and a 23.9% first-read share. In his eight games played, he has had four red zone targets and 12 deep targets. Since Week 6, the Bolts have allowed the third-fewest PPR points per target and the ninth-fewest receiving yards per game to perimeter wide receivers.
