Mitchell had six carries for 31 yards and added two receptions for 23 yards on three targets against the Browns.

The speedster's role was expected to be elevated with Justice Hill (toe) sidelined. Mitchell did get a bump with a season-high 16 snaps and nine total opportunities split between six carries and three targets. He peeled off 5.2 yards per carry and had his first multi-reception game of the year. However, his one missed target ended in disaster, as it ricocheted off his hands and into Devin Bush's for a pick-six. This game was a good snapshot of Mitchell's expected usage if Hill is out, but once the veteran returns, it could be an uphill battle for Mitchell to get double-digit snaps in a given game. The Ravens return home to face the Jets in Week 12.

Tremble caught one of two targets for 54 yards in Sunday's 30-27 overtime win over the Falcons.

Tremble made a major impact during overtime, catching a short pass from Bryce Young and turning it into a 54-yard gain to set up the game-winning field goal. He was one of five Panthers to top 50 receiving yards in Sunday's win and has now tallied 19 receptions for 184 yards and one touchdown across 11 contests. Although he led the Panthers' tight-end corps with 42 offensive snaps played, Ja'Tavion Sanders (4-22-0) remains the team's top receiving option at tight end. Expect Tremble to continue contributing primarily as a blocker in the Week 12 matchup against the 49ers.

Pitts secured two of three targets for 14 yards during Sunday's 30-27 overtime loss to the Panthers.

Pitts finished behind Drake London (knee), Bijan Robinson and Darnell Mooney in terms of receiving yards in a matchup that saw Kirk Cousins take over the offense after Michael Penix (knee) was forced out in the third quarter. That leaves the Falcons' passing attack in flux as the team prepares for a Week 12 road matchup against the Saints, but that's potentially to Pitts' benefit. The 25-year-old tight end would likely see increased target volume if London misses any time, and when Cousins started versus the Dolphins in Week 8, he targeted Pitts nine times.

Evans caught both of his targets for 28 yards in Sunday's 30-27 overtime win over the Falcons.

Prior to the Week 11 win, Evans hadn't recorded a catch since the Week 7 win over the Jets, drawing just one target during that stretch. He logged 29 offensive snaps during Sunday's win but still operated as the Panthers' No. 3 tight end, playing behind Tommy Tremble (42 snaps) and Ja'Tavion Sanders (37 snaps). Evans is likely to remain in a limited offensive role for the Week 12 matchup against the 49ers.

Harris caught his only target for 12 yards in the 35-6 loss to the Jaguars on Sunday.

Harris played his usual snap load, but with Los Angeles' offense in disarray and Jacksonville wholly dominating the line of scrimmage, the rookie never stood a chance from a fantasy perspective. The 2025 second-round pick has just nine targets in the last five games after seeing five total in Week 6 despite a typical cadence in terms of playing time.

Etienne played just four of the Panthers' 75 offensive snaps and rushed once for two yards in Sunday's 30-27 overtime win over the Falcons.

The rookie from Georgia has now played just 10 offensive snaps across Carolina's last four games, affirming his position as the team's No. 3 running back behind Rico Dowdle and Chuba Hubbard. Although Etienne has played a minor offensive role, he's contributed on special teams, recording 544 total return yards through the Panthers' first 11 contests. He's expected to remain Carolina's top return specialist in the Week 12 matchup against the 49ers.

Johnston failed to catch any of his three targets in a 35-6 drubbing at the hands of the Jaguars on Sunday.

Justin Herbert was pulled early in the second half after the Chargers were manhandled on both sides of the ball. The entirety of the team's passing attack took a hit, but none more so than Johnston, who just garnered 10 targets in Week 10 against the Steelers. It's fair to assume the Chargers will get back on track after their bye against the lowly Raiders in Week 13 , but with difficult matchups against teams like the Eagles and Texans looming after that, as well as divisional clashes with Denver and Kansas City, this might not be the only game that proves to be rough sledding for Johnston.

McLaughlin carried the ball six times for 19 yards and one touchdown during Denver's win over Kansas City on Sunday. He also secured his only target for minus-5 yards.

McLaughlin had been a healthy scratch for nine of the Broncos' first 10 games, but he rejoined the team's backfield with J.K. Dobbins (foot) on IR and made the most of his opportunities. Rookie second-round pick RJ Harvey was more productive overall due to his involvement in the receiving game, but neither back found many holes versus Kansas City's standout defense. McLaughlin will reprise his No. 2 role versus the Commanders in Week 12, though he's unlikely to supply consistent fantasy value.

Warren (ankle) said after Sunday's 34-12 win over the Bengals that he could have retaken the field after suffering an injury in the third quarter, but that remaining on the sideline "was part of being smart," Chris Adamski of TribLive.com reports.

Coach Mike Tomlin refrained from offering a tangible update on Warren's health following Sunday's divisional win, but it appears the starting running back has avoided a serious injury. The success logged by Kenneth Gainwell (105 scrimmage yards and two receiving scores on 16 touches) may have informed Pittsburgh's decision to take a cautious approach with Warren, who himself gained 62 rushing yards on 10 carries and secured both of his targets for five yards. If Warren ends up missing any time or even being limited on the road against Chicago in Week 12, Gainwell will likely be the biggest beneficiary again, as rookie third-round pick Kaleb Johnson played only eight snaps in Week 11 even with Warren on the sidelines.

Westbrook-Ikhine was not targeted during Miami's 16-13 overtime win over the Commanders in Madrid on Sunday.

Westbrook-Ikhine played just 27 percent of offensive snaps versus Washington, his lowest total since Week 3. While Westbrook-Ikhine hasn't offered any notable fantasy value all season as he hasn't yet scored or surpassed 25 receiving yards in a game, this decline in usage effectively puts him off the radar even in the deepest of formats. After the Dolphins emerge from a Week 12 bye to face the Saints in Week 13, expect Malik Washington to remain solidified as the team's clear No. 2 wideout behind Jaylen Waddle.
