  • Tommy DeVito QB | NYG

    Giants' Tommy DeVito: In line to start Sunday

    DeVito is slated to start Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    With the Giants electing to replace Daniel Jones as the team's starting signal-caller, DeVito -- who had been serving as New York's emergency No. 3 QB -- is in line to get the nod this coming weekend rather than previous backup Drew Lock. With six teams on bye Week 12, DeVito represents an option for fantasy managers in QB-heavy formats, as well as those in need of a short-term lineup plug in.

  • Justin Herbert QB | LAC

    Chargers' Justin Herbert: Dazzling outing in win

    Herbert completed 17 of his 36 pass attempts for 297 yards and two touchdowns in the 34-27 win over the Bengals on Sunday. He also led the team in rushing with 65 yards on five carries.

    This was easily Herbert's worst game of the season in terms of completion percentage, but the Pro Bowl quarterback continued to hit big play after big play against a soft Bengals defense all night. The 26-year-old also tallied the fourth-most rushing yards of his career thanks in large part to a 30-yard run in the second quarter that eventually helped put the Chargers up two scores following a J.K. Dobbins touchdown. It seems as if Herbert may have found his go-to target in this one too, as Ladd McConkey (6-123) recorded receptions of 28 yards and 27 yards, each beautifully delivered by the gun-slinging quarterback, on what amounted to the game-winning touchdown drive late in the fourth quarter. Herbert could be poised for another excellent fantasy outing next week against the Ravens.

  • Joe Burrow QB | CIN

    Bengals' Joe Burrow: Heroic comeback effort falls short

    Burrow completed 28 of 50 pass attempts for 356 yards and three touchdowns while rushing twice for 28 yards in Sunday's 34-27 loss to the Chargers.

    Cincinnati entered halftime down 24-6 with three punts and two short field goals over the team's first five offensive drives Sunday. Burrow remained unfazed and put the team on his shoulders in the second half, leading three consecutive touchdown drives to even the score at 27. In true 2024 Bengals fashion, the team's next two drives resulted in a pair of missed field goals by kicker Evan McPherson, allowing the Chargers to answer with a late touchdown for the win. Burrow continues to thrive in fantasy despite constantly playing from behind this season. The stud quarterback will get a week of rest as the Bengals enter a bye week before taking on another top-10 defense in Week 13 against the Steelers on Dec. 1.

  • Browns' Dorian Thompson-Robinson: Mops up blowout loss

    Thompson-Robinson went 0-for-1 in Sunday's 35-14 loss to New Orleans in Week 11.

    Thompson-Robinson entered the game for Cleveland's final drive, which was a three-and-out with an incomplete pass and two runs. Starter Jameis Winston threw for 395 yards and woke up a dormant passing offense for the second time in three weeks. That suggests Winston will stay on as the starter for now, but the organization may want to get a fuller look at Thompson-Robinson before this disappointing season ends.

  • Geno Smith QB | SEA

    Seahawks' Geno Smith: Hero in upset victory

    Smith completed 25 of 32 pass attempts for 221 yards, no touchdowns and one interception while rushing four times for 29 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 20-17 win over San Francisco.

    Smith was the hero for the Seahawks when he scrambled untouched for a 16-yard touchdown in the closing seconds of Sunday's upset win. The 34-year-old benefited from the departure of Nick Bosa (hip/oblique) early in the second half, as most of his production came after the 49ers' elite defender left the contest. Smith's lone blemish came on a broken third-down attempt that resulted in a lame duck interception for the defense. The 5-5 Seahawks have made the NFC West a lot tighter ahead of next Sunday's home matchup against the first-place Cardinals.

  • Josh Allen QB | BUF

    Bills' Josh Allen: Wins battle between star QBs

    Allen completed 27 of 40 pass attempts for 262 yards, one touchdown and one interception while taking 12 carries for 55 yards and a rushing score in Sunday's 30-21 win over the Chiefs.

    Allen came out of Sunday's marquee matchup between AFC contenders and superstar quarterbacks triumphant over Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs. The feat is even more impressive when you consider that Allen received little help from the running game, finishing as the team's leading rusher in addition to his numbers as a passer. Allen has the Bills sitting comfortably atop the AFC East standings with a 9-2 record as the team heads into a Week 12 bye. Fantasy managers will have to play a backup or find a fill-in starter before Allen returns to action against San Francisco on Dec. 1.

  • Kirk Cousins QB | ATL

    Falcons' Kirk Cousins: TD drought hits two games

    Cousins completed 18 of 27 passes for 173 yards, no touchdowns and one interception in Sunday's 38-6 loss to the Broncos. He also rushed once for no gain.

    Cousins struggled as the Falcons posted a poor performance across the board before waving the white flag by inserting backup quarterback Michael Penix down 38-6 in the fourth quarter. The bigger long-term concern for Cousins could be the status of wide receiver Darnell Mooney, who exited in the third quarter due to a hamstring injury, though Atlanta's Week 12 bye could provide an opportunity for the team's leader in receiving yards to recover prior to a Week 13 home game against the Chargers. Cousins will look to bounce back post-bye after being held without a touchdown pass in each of the past two games.

  • Bo Nix QB | DEN

    Broncos' Bo Nix: Throws four TDs in career-best game

    Nix completed 28 of 33 passes for 307 yards and four touchdowns in Sunday's 38-6 win over the Falcons.

    Nix set new single-game career highs in passing yards and touchdown passes as well as in completion percentage (85 percent) and passer rating (145). He threw a touchdown pass in each quarter, with a 12-yarder to Nate Adkins in the first, a 12-yarder to Marvin Mims in the second, a seven-yarder to Troy Franklin in the third and a 41-yarder to Lil'Jordan Humphrey in the fourth. Nix's four touchdown passes brought his season total up to 14, which tied the Broncos franchise rookie record set by Marlin Briscoe in 1968. The rookie first-round pick will look to take sole possession of that record during the Broncos' Week 12 trip to Vegas.

  • Chiefs' Patrick Mahomes: Throws three scores in first loss

    Mahomes completed 23 of 33 pass attempts for 196 yards, three touchdowns and two interceptions without recording a carry in Sunday's 30-21 loss to Buffalo.

    Mahomes threw a pair of interceptions that proved to be costly in Sunday's marquee matchup between superstar quarterbacks. While Josh Allen got the win for his club, Mahomes provided fantasy managers with his second game with three touchdown passes over the Chiefs' last three contests. In addition to this game representing Kansas City's first loss of the season, it was also Mahomes' first appearance in 2024 without recording a rushing attempt. No longer undefeated, Mahomes and the Chiefs should be locked in for a soft matchup against Carolina next Sunday.

  • Brock Purdy QB | SF

    49ers' Brock Purdy: Carries offense in loss

    Purdy completed 21 of 28 pass attempts for 159 yards, one touchdown and one interception while rushing five times for 40 yards and another touchdown in Sunday's 20-17 loss to Seattle.

    Purdy did everything in his power to lift a shorthanded 49ers offense to victory with his arm and ability as a rusher. San Francisco's franchise quarterback fell short in his efforts, but fantasy managers benefited from his fourth rushing touchdown over a four-game span. Purdy's lone blemish Sunday was an interception that was deflected on an incredible leaping effort by Seattle corner Devon Witherspoon. The 24-year-old Purdy and the 49ers will have to hit the road following a tough loss to face the Packers in Lambeau next Sunday.
