Trevor Lawrence QB | JAC
Jaguars' Trevor Lawrence: Mixed bag in OT win Sunday
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.

Baker Mayfield QB | TB
Buccaneers' Baker Mayfield: Won't return to SNF
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.

George Pickens WR | DAL
Cowboys' George Pickens: Huge plays in comeback win
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.

Travis Etienne RB | NO
Jaguars' Travis Etienne: Productive as RB1 in OT win
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.

Kene Nwangwu RB | NYJ
Jets' Kene Nwangwu: Cedes most returns to Williams
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.
-
Isaiah Williams WR | NYJ
Jets' Isaiah Williams: Touches limited to special teams
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.

Andrew Beck FB | NYJ
Jets' Andrew Beck: Season-long 10-yard reception
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.

Baker Mayfield QB | TB
Buccaneers' Baker Mayfield: Deemed doubtful to return at half
Mayfield (left shoulder) is doubtful to return to Sunday's game against the Rams, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.
Mayfield injured his non-throwing shoulder when attempting to throw a Hail Mary on the final play of the first half. He likely aggravated an injury sustained earlier in the first half, as he previously returned to the game after being examined in the injury tent, per Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times. Mayfield completed nine of 19 pass attempts for 41 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions while rushing four times for 19 yards prior to being deemed doubtful to return at halftime. Teddy Bridgewater is expected to take over under center in the second half.

Arian Smith WR | NYJ
Jets' Arian Smith: Not targeted in Week 12
Smith rushed once for eight yards and wasn't targeted in Sunday's 23-10 loss to the Ravens.
Smith hasn't seen many opportunities since the Jets traded for wide receivers John Metchie and Adonai Mitchell, as the rookie fourth-round pick has gone three consecutive games without a target. Smith has promising speed but hasn't exceeded two touches on offense in any game.

Michael Wilson WR | ARI
Cardinals' Michael Wilson: Continues to thrive as No. 1 WR
Wilson hauled in 10 of 15 targets for 118 yards in Sunday's 27-24 overtime loss to Jacksonville.
Wilson is taking full advantage of teammate Marvin Harrison's (appendix) continued absence, with the former producing his second 100-plus yard performance in his second game operating as Arizona's top wideout. The ascension of veteran backup Jacoby Brissett's game since taking over for Kyler Murray (foot) can also be attributed to Wilson's rapid rise in the fantasy ranks. It is unclear how long Harrison will remained sidelined while recovering from appendix surgery, but it has become clear that Wilson should be treated as a must-start option in fantasy until that day comes. Harrison hasn't been ruled out for next Sunday's tilt in Tampa Bay, but there is reason to believe that Wilson could remain fantasy relevant even after his teammate's return given the way the Cardinals are airing the ball out.
