Poyer recorded six tackles (two solo) in Thursday night's loss to the Texans.

Poyer was signed off the practice squad ahead of Week 6 and has started five straight games in Buffalo's secondary. He played 80 percent of the defensive snaps against Houston and now has 40 tackles (15 solo) and two pass breakups on 245 defensive snaps across six appearances this season.

Brissett completed 33 of 49 pass attempts for 317 yards and a touchdown while taking three carries for 20 yards in Sunday's 27-24 loss to Jacksonville in overtime.

Brissett continued his gun-slinging ways by eclipsing 300 passing yards for the third time in six starts filling in for Kyler Murray (foot). The 32-year-old Brissett failed to extend his streak of throwing multiple touchdown passes to six games, but it was still another impressive effort from a fantasy perspective. Brissett did leave the game briefly in the second half to be evaluated by the medical staff after taking a big hit, but he promptly returned to action and finished the remainder of the game plus overtime without issue. The journeyman backup has already been named Arizona's starter for the remainder of the season, so fantasy managers who took a chance on Brissett during his current run as starter can feel comfortable continuing to roll him out on a weekly basis. The Cardinals will hit the road in Week 13 to face the Buccaneers, who currently sit in the bottom third of the league in terms yards allowed to opposing quarterbacks.

Brown recorded eight receptions on 10 targets for 110 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 24-21 loss to the Cowboys.

Brown was a key to the Eagles' hot start on offense, as he posted five receptions for 67 yards and a touchdown combined across the team's first two drives. While he slowed significantly from that pace, Brown still managed to top 100 receiving yards for the third time this season while also recording his first catch of at least 20 yards since Week 7. Philadelphia's passing attack looks likely to remain inconsistent, though a Week 13 matchup against the Bears should present Brown with another opportunity for a solid performance.

Lawrence completed 18 of 30 pass attempts for 256 yards, three touchdowns and three interceptions while rushing five times for 29 yards and a lost fumble in Sunday's 27-24 overtime win against Arizona.

Lawrence managed to overcome a season-high four turnovers in order to secure victory for his club Sunday. The 25-year-old matched his previous high of three touchdown passes set back in Week 2 against the Bengals, which was also the only other game this season during which he has thrown multiple interceptions. The first-overall selection in the 2021 NFL Draft continues to produce inconsistent fantasy results in his fifth season as a pro. Lawrence has thrown 14 touchdowns to 11 interceptions while failing to eclipse 300 passing yards in any of his 11 starts this season, numbers that keep him in the middle tier of starting QB options against Tennessee next Sunday.

Mayfield (left shoulder) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Rams.

Mayfield was deemed doubtful to return at halftime and ruled out in the third quarter. It remains to be seen what Mayfield's recovery timeline looks like beyond Sunday night's game, with Teddy Bridgewater set to fill in for the duration of Mayfield's absence. Tampa Bay's next game is Nov. 30 against the Cardinals.

Pickens recorded nine receptions on nine targets for 146 yards and one touchdown in Sunday's 24-21 win over the Eagles.

Pickens had a flawless performance in the Cowboys' comeback win, and he continued to deliver big plays for the offense. Three of his nine catches went for at least 20 yards, the sixth time this season that he's had multiple catches of at least 20 yards in a game. Pickens also found the end zone on a one-yard catch to begin the team's rally. He has topped 100 receiving yards in consecutive contests and has at least 75 yards in six consecutive matchups as he continues to build on his best season as a pro.

Etienne (shoulder) took 15 carries for 86 yards while catching three of four targets for 30 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-24 overtime win against Arizona.

Etienne and Bhayshul Tuten (ankle) both shed their respective injury tags from last week's win over the Chargers, but it was the former who dominated the backfield touches against the Cardinals on Sunday. Tuten (7-17-0) struggled in his limited role, while Etienne more than doubled his teammate's touches with greater efficiency overall. This comes as a relief for Etienne's fantasy managers after the talented rushing duo split work evenly in last week's victory. Etienne will look to keep the good times rolling against the lowly Titans next Sunday after hitting pay dirt four times over his last three contests.

Nwangwu (hamstring) had a 34-yard kickoff return in Sunday's 23-10 loss to the Ravens.

Nwangwu suited up after being listed as questionable, but he ceded four of the Jets' five kickoff return opportunities to Isaiah Williams. When fully healthy, Nwangwu has served as the Jets' primary kickoff returner.

Williams had four kickoff returns for 122 yards and three punt returns for 23 yards in Sunday's 23-10 loss to the Ravens.

Williams didn't get a touch on offense as his usage on that side of the ball faded, but he contributed significantly on special teams. Kene Nwangwu (hamstring) played through a questionable tag but returned only one kickoff while Williams served as the primary kickoff returner in addition to the depth wideout's usual role returning punts. Williams' fantasy value is confined to formats that reward return yards.

Beck caught his only target for 10 yards in Sunday's 23-10 loss to the Ravens.

Beck has caught four of five targets for 26 yards and a touchdown this season. The fullback's 10-yard reception Sunday was his longest catch of the season.
