  • Sam Howell QB | DAL

    Commanders' Sam Howell: Three picks against Giants

    Howell completed 31 of 45 passes for 255 yards, one touchdown and three interceptions in Sunday's 31-19 loss to the Giants. He added three rushes for 35 yards and an additional touchdown.

    Howell continued to take to the air at a prolific rate, as he's now topped 40 pass attempts in five consecutive games. Unlike the last three contests, however, production didn't follow. Instead, Howell averaged only 5.7 yards per attempt and threw multiple picks for the first time since Week 3 -- the final of which was returned for a touchdown to put the game out of reach for the Commanders. Positively, Howell reached the end zone on the ground on a tough seven-yard run, during which he bounced off several defenders. That salvaged an otherwise forgettable performance from a fantasy perspective.

  • Bears' Justin Fields: Tops 100 rushing yards in return

    Fields (thumb) completed 16 of 23 passes for 169 yards and one touchdown while rushing 18 times for 104 yards in Sunday's 31-26 loss to the Lions.

    Fields hit the ground running in his first action since suffering a dislocated thumb in Week 6, racking up 28 rushing yards and 38 passing yards on an opening drive that ended in a one-yard rushing touchdown by D'Onta Foreman, who later left the game due to an ankle injury. Chicago mustered only three additional points in the first half, but Fields heated up in the third quarter and put his team up 20-14 with a 39-yard touchdown pass to DJ Moore. Detroit ultimately scored the final 17 points, including two on a Fields fumble that went out of the end zone for a safety in the final seconds, but Fields' success on the ground in his return suggests he isn't playing through any physical limitations heading into a Week 12 trip to Minnesota.

  • Bryce Young QB | CAR

    Panthers' Bryce Young: Trouble with turnovers again

    Young completed 16 of 29 passes for 123 yards with a touchdown and an interception in the Panthers' 33-10 loss to the Cowboys on Sunday. He also rushed twice for three yards and lost a fumble.

    Young once again turned in a very underwhelming performance through the air, averaging only 4.2 yards per attempt and primarily focusing on Adam Thielen when dropping back. The veteran receiver was responsible for half of Young's completions and 74 of his passing yards, with the first overall pick repeatedly running into trouble, including tossing pick-six, when trying to focus on his other pass catchers. Young has now thrown for under 200 yards in three consecutive games while mustering a 2:4 TD:INT in that sample as well. so he'll head into a Week 12 road matchup versus a Titans defense that's normally a favorable matchup for air attacks with virtually no momentum.

  • Jordan Love QB | GB

    Packers' Jordan Love: Career high in passing yards

    Love completed 27 of 40 attempts for 322 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 23-20 win over the Chargers. He also netted no gain on three rush attempts and committed two fumbles recovered by Green Bay, one which he corralled himself.

    Love has shown improvement over his last three games, avoiding any turnovers twice while also being a bigger threat passing downfield. In fact, Sunday saw Love set a career high in passing yards, with his final throw being a 24-yarder to Romeo Doubs for the game-winning touchdown. Coming off a positive Week 11 performance, Love now faces a quick turnaround ahead of a tough divisional game in Detroit on Thanksgiving.

  • Dak Prescott QB | DAL

    Cowboys' Dak Prescott: Passes for pair of TDs

    Prescott completed 25 of 38 passes for 189 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 33-10 win over the Panthers.

    Prescott's pair of scores both came in the first half, as he found tight end Luke Schoonmaker from 18 yards before connecting with star wideout CeeDee Lamb from five. Although his streak of three-touchdown efforts was snapped at three games, Prescott still did enough to lead the Cowboys to another convincing victory. He'll now turn his attention toward Thursday's game against the Commanders in Week 12.

  • Tua Tagovailoa QB | ATL

    Dolphins' Tua Tagovailoa: Eclipses 300-yard mark in win

    Tagovailoa completed 28 of 39 passes for 325 yards with two touchdowns and one interception in the Dolphins' 20-13 win over the Raiders on Sunday. He also rushed twice for six yards and lost a fumble.

    The Dolphins had more trouble than anticipated overall with the feisty Raiders, but Tagovailoa finished the game with another impressive stat line that included his fifth 300-yard effort and sixth multi-touchdown tally of the campaign. Tagovailoa lost star running back De'Von Achane (knee) early into the rookie's return from a four-game absence and also saw Tyreek Hill exit briefly with a hand injury before returning. While the final point total was a bit underwhelming, Tagovailoa's day certainly pleased fantasy managers and sends him into a Week 12 Black Friday afternoon divisional road clash against the Jets with plenty of momentum.

  • Tommy DeVito QB | NE

    Giants' Tommy DeVito: Three TDs in first NFL win

    DeVito completed 18 of 26 passes for 246 yards and three touchdowns in Sunday's 31-19 win over Washington. He added seven yards on one rushing attempt.

    DeVito notched his first NFL win in his second start and fourth appearance as the Giants' recent success against the NFC East rival Commanders continued. The 25-year-old rookie capped New York's third drive with consecutive 24-yard passes to Darius Slayton and Saquon Barkley, the second of which went for a touchdown to open the scoring. DeVito added a 40-yard touchdown pass to Slayton in the second quarter and finished the first half with 189 passing yards. The passing game cooled down in the second half as Barkley took over on the ground, but DeVito's five-yard touchdown pass to Barkley gave the team a cushion in the fourth quarter before a pick-six by New York's defense in the final seconds sealed the victory. DeVito will likely remain the starter in Week 12 against the Patriots, as Tyrod Taylor (ribs) isn't eligible to return from injured reserve until Week 14 versus Green Bay.

  • Kyler Murray QB | MIN

    Cardinals' Kyler Murray: Solid showing in Week 11 loss

    Murray completed 20 of 30 passes for 214 yards with one touchdown and one interception and rushed seven times for 51 yards and a score in the Cardinals' 21-16 loss to the Texans on Sunday. He also committed a fumble recovered by Arizona.

    Murray's numbers through the air were about average in his second game of the season, but the pair of touchdowns he had a hand in helped him to a solid fantasy day overall. Murray first struck through the air via a 48-yard touchdown pass to Rondale Moore to cap off a quick three-play opening drive for Arizona, and he then added a one-yard rushing score of his own for the final points of the day for either squad. Murray connected with eight different targets overall against a tough Texans defense, and he'll draw what could be a more palatable matchup at home against the division-rival Rams in Week 12.

  • Justin Herbert QB | LAC

    Chargers' Justin Herbert: Tosses two touchdowns

    Herbert completed 21 of 36 passes for 260 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 23-20 loss to the Packers. He also rushed eight times for 73 yards.

    Herbert endured a number of notable drops Sunday, contributing toward another narrow defeat. The quarterback nonetheless turned in a good individual display, tossing a 51-yard score to Stone Smartt and a 10-yard touchdown to top target Keenan Allen. With a season-high output on the ground as well, Herbert was productive throughout the contest but was handed a second straight three-point defeat.

  • Jaguars' Trevor Lawrence: Breaks out against Titans

    Lawrence completed 24 of 32 passes for 262 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions in Sunday's 24-14 win over the Titans. He added five rushes for 17 yards and two additional touchdowns.

    Lawrence accounted for all four of Jacksonville's touchdowns, connecting twice with Calvin Ridley in the end zone on passes of three and 20 yards. He also found the end zone twice on the ground -- his first rushing scores of the season -- from nine and five yards away. The performance marked only the third time this season that Lawrence has tallied multiple scores, and he also chipped in strong efficiency through the air by averaging 8.2 yards per attempt. The latter is particularly positive, as Lawrence pushed the ball down the field accurately by completing five passes of at least 20 yards -- matching his season high. A similar performance may be needed in Week 12 as the Jaguars travel to Houston for a pivotal divisional matchup.
