  • Gabe Davis WR | BUF

    Bills' Gabe Davis: Three catches in season debut

    Davis caught three of four targets for 40 yards in Sunday's 44-32 win over the Buccaneers.

    Davis made his season debut with the Bills after being elevated from the practice squad Sunday, finishing tied for second on the team in catches with running back James Cook. The wide receiver was able to operate in a rather significant role due to Keon Coleman (coach's decision) and Dalton Kincaid (hamstring) being unavailable. Davis can be elevated two more times, and he seems likely to be called upon again in Week 12 against the Texans on Thursday Night Football.

  • Texans' Xavier Hutchinson: Posts 42 yards in Week 11 win

    Hutchinson caught three of five targets for 42 yards in the Texans' 16-13 win over the Titans on Sunday.

    Hutchinson finished fourth on the team with his five targets, trailing Nico Collins (10), Dalton Schultz (nine) and rookie Jayden Higgins (seven). The third-year receiver now has 24 catches for 264 yards and three touchdowns across 10 games this season. With Collins and Christian Kirk healthy and rookie Jayden Higgins' role growing, Hutchinson doesn't carry much fantasy value headed into Thursday night's Week 12 game against Buffalo.

  • Cole Kmet TE | CHI

    Bears' Cole Kmet: Paces team in receiving in win

    Kmet caught all five of his targets for 45 yards in the Bears' 19-17 win over the Vikings on Sunday.

    Kmet dealt with a back issue during the practice week, but it clearly didn't hamper him in Chicago's victory, as the veteran tight end paced the team in catches and receiving yards while finishing tied for second with his five targets. Kmet has just one touchdown on the season and has yet to reach 50 receiving yards in a single contest. He's recorded 16 catches for 192 yards and one score on 28 targets through nine games.

  • Tyjae Spears RB | TEN

    Titans' Tyjae Spears: Limited production in loss

    Spears logged four carries for three yards and caught all five of his targets for 31 yards in Sunday's 16-13 loss to the Texans.

    Spears was unable to get anything going on the ground, posting a season-low three rushing yards. The running back was able to set a new season high in receptions, though, leading the team in that category. Spears remains limited by the Titans' overall lack of upside offensively, but he has now secured at least three catches in five straight games.

  • Falcons' Michael Penix: Could miss additional games

    Penix (knee) is believed to have aggravated a previous knee injury during Sunday's 30-27 overtime loss to the Panthers, and there is concern that he could miss additional time, Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero of NFL Network report.

    Penix exited in the third quarter of Sunday's loss, and Kirk Cousins finished out the game in relief. Cousins filled in when Penix sat out Atlanta's 34-10 loss to the Dolphins due to a bone bruise in his knee Week 8. If Penix misses additional action as feared, Cousins would start Week 12 against the Saints. Penix is set for additional testing on his injury.

  • Michael Wilson WR | ARI

    Cardinals' Michael Wilson: Career performance in Week 11

    Wilson reeled in 15 of 18 passes for 185 yards and no touchdowns during Sunday's 41-22 defeat to the 49ers.

    The Cardinals were quickly in catch-up mode Week 11, with QB Jacoby Brissett eventually attempting 57 passes and completing 47 of them to set a single-game NFL record in the latter category. Wilson was the biggest beneficiary in the absence of No. 1 WR Marvin Harrison (concussion), but it was difficult to project such an outburst from the former, as his previous single-game highs were eight catches, nine targets and 95 receiving yards through two-and-a-half years as a pro. A repeat performance from Wilson is unlikely next Sunday against the Jaguars, but if Harrison remains sidelined, Wilson still should be heavily involved in Arizona's passing attack.

  • Kimani Vidal RB | LAC

    Chargers' Kimani Vidal: Stymied in lopsided loss

    Vidal rushed five times for 13 yards and brought in both targets for minus-1 yard in the Chargers' 35-6 loss to the Jaguars on Sunday.

    Vidal was stonewalled on his few opportunities, and a game script that saw the Jaguars eventually pull away from the Chargers essentially put a quick end to any fantasy hopes the running back and his fantasy managers had. Vidal also battled through a thigh injury that led to a brief exit from the game, and he ultimately finished with his lowest rushing yardage total in any game during which he's logged any carries this season. Sunday may have been Vidal's final game in the lead-back role as well, as Omarion Hampton (IR, ankle) may be ready to return for a Week 13 home matchup against the Raiders on Sunday, Nov. 30 following the Week 12 bye.

  • Cardinals' Jacoby Brissett: Sets NFL record for completions

    Brissett completed 47 of 57 passes for 452 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions and rushed twice for minus-2 yards during Sunday's 41-22 loss to the 49ers.

    Working without No. 1 WR Marvin Harrison (concussion) on Sunday, Brissett set an NFL regular-season record for a single game with his 47 completions, helping fuel a pair of 100-yard receiving efforts from WR Michael Wilson (15-185-0 on 18 targets) and TE Trey McBride (10-115-1 on 11 targets). The pass-heavy approach from the Cardinals likely was spurred by being down double-digit points as soon as the 13:39 mark of the second quarter, and the closest margin after that point was nine points before the 49ers tacked on a pair of field goals in the last 1:01 of the first half. In five starts in place of Kyler Murray (foot, IR), Brissett has averaged 314 yards per game to go with a 10:3 TD:INT on 67 percent passing. Brissett's next chance to continue leading Arizona's offense is next Sunday versus the Jaguars.

  • Titans' Chig Okonkwo: Three catches in loss

    Okonkwo caught all three of his targets for 56 yards in Sunday's 16-13 loss to Houston.

    Okonkwo led the way for his team with 56 receiving yards, which was his highest total since Week 3. The tight end has now registered multiple receptions in three straight contests and eight of 10 games overall this season, but he has still yet to find the end zone. Okonkwo will look to find paydirt in Week 12 against the Seahawks.

  • Brock Purdy QB | SF

    49ers' Brock Purdy: Healthy stat line in return

    Purdy (toe) completed 19 of 26 pass attempts for 200 yards and three touchdowns while losing seven yards on his only carry in Sunday's 41-22 win over the Cardinals.

    Purdy made a triumphant return from a turf toe injury that cost the signal-caller six weeks of action, tossing a trio of touchdowns with no turnovers in a decisive victory over a division opponent. The 25-year-old connected in the end zone with top weapons Christian McCaffrey and George Kittle (twice) as San Francisco's offense looked as healthy as it has since Week 1. Purdy had thrown as many touchdowns (four) as interceptions over his previous two starts this season, neither of which he exited at full strength. Assuming that he escaped Sunday's win with a clean bill of health, fantasy managers can feel comfortable again starting Purdy against the Panthers on Monday Night Football in Week 12.
