Njoku brought in one of two targets for seven yards in Sunday's 23-16 loss to Baltimore.

Njoku took a back seat to rookie tight end Harold Fannin -- as has been the case on numerous occasions this season -- resulting in the veteran's lowest reception total this season while tying his previous low in targets. The 31-year-old Njoku failed to extend his scoring streak to three games, highlighting how touchdown-dependent of an asset he has become following Fannin's emergence. Managers relying on Njoku will hope he gets back to his scoring ways against the Raiders next Sunday.

Chubb rushed three times for 17 yards and failed to bring in either of his two targets in the Texans' 16-13 win over the Titans on Sunday.

Chubb and backfield mate Woody Marks had the biggest gulf in workloads yet Sunday, with the former finishing with a season-low carry total. Chubb had also logged a modest five carries in Week 10 against the Jaguars, so he may set to play a complementary role to Marks down the stretch of regular season.

Fannin (hamstring) had two receptions on five targets for 26 yards in Sunday's 23-16 loss to the Ravens.

Fannin continues to be limited during the practice week with a lingering hamstring issue, but it has not cost the tight end any game action while he continues to play through it. The third-round rookie still finished ahead of veteran starter David Njoku in production Sunday, with the latter being held to one catch for seven yards on two targets. The status of starting quarterback Dillon Gabriel (concussion) is currently unclear for Week 11, but Fannin should continue providing deep-league value no matter which rookie signal-caller is under center against the Raiders next Sunday.

Marks rushed for 18 times for 44 yards and brought in his only target for seven yards in the Texans' 16-13 win over the Titans on Sunday.

Marks surprisingly found running room hard to come by against what had been a very generous Titans defense. However, the good news for Marks' fantasy managers was the fact he finally operated as the clear lead option over Nick Chubb, who garnered only three carries. Sunday's results not withstanding, Marks has an encouraging outlook for a Week 12 Thursday night home matchup against the Bills' porous front seven.

Mills completed 26 of 41 passes for 274 yards with one touchdown and no interceptions while adding two rushes for 14 yards in the Texans' 16-13 win over the Titans on Sunday.

Mills put together another solid performance in his second start in place of C.J. Stroud (concussion) despite being subjected to plenty of pressure from what had been a porous Titans defense. Mills was taken down four times, but he also completed passes to eight different players while displaying good command of the offense. Mills capped the afternoon in fine fashion by leading a game-winning nine-play, 48-yard drive, and he's likely to draw another start in a Week 12 Thursday night home matchup against the Bills since Stroud may not be ready to play due to the short turnaround.

Smith was held to eight yards on one reception (five targets) in Sunday's 16-9 win over the Lions.

Jalen Hurts made a concerted effort to feed disgruntled WR A.J. Brown (11 targets) the football in the win, leaving scraps for the remaining Philadelphia receivers in Sunday's low-scoring affair. Smith finished in a tie with Dallas Goedert for second in team targets, but the former's season-worst 20 percent catch rate was the main reason behind his struggles. Even with Sunday's dud, Smith still boasts an impressive 49-665-3 stat line in 10 starts this year.

Montgomery rushed the ball six times for 27 yards in Sunday's 16-9 loss to the Eagles. He added one reception on one target for 10 yards.

Montgomery was limited due to game script, as the Lions possessed the ball for only 24:12 of game time. That led to only his second performance with single-digit touches this season and his second-lowest yardage output of the campaign. While Montgomery will continue to hold a meaningful role in the Detroit offense behind Jahmyr Gibbs, the former's fantasy value is primarily dependent on him finding the end zone.

Goedert finished with two receptions on five targets for 24 yards in Sunday's 16-9 win over Detroit.

Goedert was held in check in what turned out to be a defensive battle between NFC contenders on Sunday Night Football. The two receptions marked the 30-year-old's lowest total since his one-catch effort back in Week 2. The five targets were on par with the 4.3 the tight end averaged coming into the contest, hinting at Sunday's dud simply being a down game from Goedert. The Eagles will take on the Cowboys next Sunday, who Goedert recorded a 7-44-0 line against when the two teams met back in Week 1.

Williams recorded four receptions on seven targets for 88 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 16-9 loss to the Eagles. He added one rush for nine yards.

Williams accounted for Detroit's only touchdown of the game with a 40-yard score, with most of the yardage coming after the catch. It was a poor offensive night from the Lions, but Williams also chipped in long gains of 27 and 19 yards to provide at least some positivity. This was his third-highest yardage total of the season, and he now has 10 catches for 207 yards and two touchdowns combined across the two games since head coach Dan Campbell took over offensive play-calling.

Goff completed 14 of 37 passes for 255 yards, one touchdown and one interception in Sunday's 16-9 loss to the Eagles.

Goff looked uncomfortable throughout the game, and his 37.8 percent completion rate was the worst of his career in a single contest, per Nolan Bianchi of The Detroit News. Most of his yardage came after the catch from Jahmyr Gibbs and Jameson Williams, the latter of whom accounted for Goff's only touchdown on a 40-yard catch and run. It was an abysmal performance from Goff, but he's still thrown for multiple touchdowns in five of his last seven games, and he should bounce back in Week 12 with a home matchup against the Giants.
