Franklin caught four of eight targets for 84 yards in Sunday's 22-19 win over the Kansas City.

The second-year wideout tied Courtland Sutton in receptions and targets, but it was Franklin who led the Broncos in receiving yards, including a 32-yard gain in the final minute of the fourth quarter that set up Wil Lutz for the game-winning field goal. Franklin's chemistry with Bo Nix continues to shine, and over the last five games he's delivered a 22-259-4 line on 45 targets, compared to Sutton's 18-267-1 line on 34 targets during the same period.

Sanders completed four of 16 pass attempts for 47 yards and an interception while rushing three times for 16 yards in Sunday's 23-16 loss to the Ravens.

Sanders started the second half for the Browns after Dillon Gabriel was forced to exit the contest to be evaluated for a concussion. The long-awaited debut for Sanders in a regular-season game went about as poorly as you could draw it up. The polarizing rookie completed just 25 percent of his passes while watching the six-point lead he inherited evaporate in the loss. Sanders' play didn't inspire hope for his next outing, which could come as soon as next Sunday if Gabriel isn't cleared for action against the Raiders. The latter should continue to start -- especially with how poorly Sanders performed in relief -- so long as Gabriel clears the league's concussion protocol.

London is believed to have avoided a major knee injury during Sunday's 30-27 overtime loss to the Panthers, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

London suffered a knee injury late in the game and will undergo further testing Monday. Rapoport cautions that London could still miss some time, depending on what Monday's tests show, but the star wide receiver likely avoided a major injury. Starting quarterback Michael Penix also exited the loss to Carolina due to a knee injury and will undergo further testing Monday.

Johnson (foot) is questionable to return to Sunday night's contest against the Lions.

Johnson suffered a foot injury in the first quarter of the contest, and his status for the rest of the game is now uncertain. In his absence, Fred Johnson has taken over at right tackle versus Detroit.

Sutton caught four of eight targets for 59 yards in Sunday's 22-19 win over Kansas City.

The veteran matched Troy Franklin in receptions and targets, but it was the second-year wideout who paced Denver with 84 receiving yards. Sutton has become the 1B to Franklin's 1A in the Broncos' passing game, and over the last six games Sutton has posted a 19-284-1 line on 37 targets compared to Franklin's 25-278-4 line on 49 targets.

Fant caught five of six targets for 36 yards in the Bengals' 34-12 loss to the Steelers on Sunday.

Fant's six targets were fourth-most on the team, trailing Ja'Marr Chase (10) , Tee Higgins (eight) and Chase Brown (eight). With Mike Gesicki (pectoral) on injured reserve, Fant has been more of a factor in the passing game since Gesicki went down in Week 6. In the four games since, Fant has secured 14 passes for 149 yards and two touchdowns on 16 targets. Fant isn't an exciting fantasy target ahead of next Sunday's game against the Patriots.

Harvey carried the ball 11 times for 30 yards and caught all three of his targets for 20 yards in Sunday's 22-19 win over Kansas City.

With J.K. Dobbins (foot) done for the rest of the regular season, Harvey stepped into the top spot in the Broncos' backfield for the first time but failed to make much of an impact. Jaleel McLaughlin also vultured a four-yard TD in the third quarter that might have made Harvey's performance a little more palatable for fantasy investors. The rookie heads into a Week 12 bye with 439 scrimmage yards and six total touchdowns (two on the ground, four through the air) in his first 11 NFL games.

Helm caught four of five targets for 29 yards in Sunday's 16-13 loss to the Texans.

Helm was able to match his career high in catches, finishing second on the team in the category behind running back Tyjae Spears (five). The rookie has now registered at least one reception in 10 straight contests to open the year, but he's yet to record more than 36 receiving yards in a game, limiting his overall upside. Helm will look to build off Sunday's performance when the team faces Seattle in Week 12.

Willis completed both of his passes for six yards and one touchdown in the Packers' 27-20 win over the Giants on Sunday. He added 16 yards on one rushing attempt.

Willis filled in on one drive while Jordan Love went to the locker room to be evaluated for an injury, but Love was quickly able to return to action. While in the game, Willis moved the offense and threw a one-yard touchdown pass to Christian Watson in the second quarter. If Love would need to miss any time to injury, Willis has shown the ability to succeed in coach Matt LaFleur's offense.

Nix completed 24 of 37 passes for 295 yards without a touchdown or an interception in Sunday's 22-19 win over Kansas City. He added eight rushing yards on three carries.

It was the first time all season Nix had failed to produce a TD, but his 295 passing yards were his highest total since Week 4, and the second-year QB came through when it mattered most, hitting Troy Franklin for a 32-yard gain inside the final minute of the fourth quarter to set up Wil Lutz's game-winning FG. Nix will head into the Broncos' Week 12 bye riding an eight-game win streak that has them firmly in control of the AFC West, two games ahead of the Chargers and four wins clear of KC.
