Brooks rushed once for five yards in Sunday's 34-12 loss to the Steelers.

Brooks had a quiet day against the Steelers, handling just one rush for the second straight game. The rookie operated as the No. 2 back behind Chase Brown with teammate Samaje Perine (ankle) out, but he played just seven of the Bengals' 66 offensive snaps. Barring an injury to Brown, Brooks is nothing more than an insurance policy for fantasy purposes. Next up for Cincinnati is a Week 12 home matchup against the Patriots.

Hudson caught all three of his targets for 22 yards in Sunday's 34-12 loss to the Steelers.

Hudson played just 22 of the Bengals' 66 offensive snaps Sunday, behind fellow tight ends Noah Fant (32) and Drew Sample (30). The 31-year-old was unable to make the most of his opportunities, contributing little on the stat sheet on a day when Cincinnati's offense struggled. Hudson remains far off the fantasy radar heading into a Week 12 matchup against the Patriots.

Collins' enhanced production over the last two weeks is partially due to being deployed more often in the slot, Sam Warren of the Houston Chronicle reports. He's accumulated 16 catches on 25 targets for 228 yards and a touchdown during a two-game winning streak.

Collins has been a key factor in the Texans getting to .500 for the season. A coaching decision to scheme him to get more open appears to have worked. During the two-game streak, he's been targeted seven times from the slot, more than he had in his first seven games combined, and those targets have led to success. Collins caught a pivotal fourth-quarter pass for 22 yards in the Week 10 win over Jacksonville and had three catches for 31 yards from the slot, including a touchdown, in a Week 11 win over Tennessee. Collins and the Texans will be challenged to repeat that success this week in a Thursday night game against the Bills, who rank second in the NFL with 169.7 passing yards allowed per game.

Iosivas had three catches for 20 yards on four targets in Sunday's loss to the Steelers. He played 48 offensive snaps, good for a 74 percent share.

With teammate Ja'Marr Chase suspended for Week 12's game against the Patriots, Iosivas could draw more targets, though that will require him to gain more separation on his routes. Mitchell Tinsley might also see an uptick in playing time.

The NFL announced Tuesday that Chase's one-game suspension for unsportsmanlike conduct was upheld following an appeal.

Chase will sit out Sunday's game against the Patriots, and then return for a Thanksgiving Day game against the Ravens. With Chase out for Week 12, look for Tee Higgins to lead Bengals wideouts, both in targets and in attention from the New England secondary.

Jones registered four solo tackles and a pass defensed in Sunday's 22-19 win over the Chiefs.

Jones was on the field for all 62 of the team's defensive snaps, marking the second straight week he's seen 100 percent of the defensive action and the fourth time overall this season. Additionally, the safety was able to get his paws on a pass from Patrick Mahomes in the fourth quarter, knocking it down before it reached its intended target, Travis Kelce. Jones now has recorded 65 total tackles (34 solo), including 0.5 sacks, while also adding seven passes defensed, one of which was an interception, over 11 contests this year.

Tillman recorded three total tackles (one solo) in Sunday's 22-19 win over Kansas City.

Tillman maintained his consistent level of production in Week 11, compiling at least three stops for the fifth straight game and seventh time overall this year. The linebacker has seen a slight uptick in workload on special teams in the last few weeks, but he's simultaneously had less opportunities on defense. On the season, he's now up to 26 total tackles (eight solo), including 1.5 sacks, while also adding three passes defensed, two of which were interceptions, over 11 contests.

Greenlaw recorded four total tackles (one solo) in Sunday's 22-19 win over the Chiefs.

Greenlaw was able to be on the field for a season-high 39 defensive snaps, but he ultimately compiled his lowest tackle total of the year. The linebacker slowly has been rounding into form after missing the first six games of the year while recovering from a quadriceps injury. Greenlaw is now up to 23 total tackles (five solo), including 1.0 sacks, plus a pass defensed and a forced fumble over four contests this season.

Ezeiruaku compiled five total tackles (three solo) in Monday night's 33-16 victory over the Raiders.

Ezeiruaku was able to notch at least five takedowns for the first time since Week 4, and he has registered two or more solo stops in three of the last four contests. The defensive end has now recorded 25 total tackles (16 solo), including 2.0 sacks, and a forced fumble over 10 games so far in his rookie campaign.

Williams recorded four total tackles (one solo), including 1.5 sacks, in Monday night's 33-16 win over Las Vegas.

Williams made his presence known in his debut with Dallas, combining with Kenny Clark to sack Geno Smith in the first quarter before later adding a full sack on Smith in the second. The defensive tackle hadn't registered a sack since Week 1 with the Jets, so his ability to hit the ground running with the Cowboys is significant. Williams is now up to 36 total tackles (18 solo), including 2.5 sacks, plus three forced fumbles over nine games this year.
