  • Kareem Hunt RB | KC

    Chiefs' Kareem Hunt: Extends TD streak in loss

    Hunt carried the ball 13 times for 59 yards and a touchdown and caught one of two targets for three yards in Sunday's 22-19 loss to the Broncos.

    The veteran running back got into the end zone for a third straight game when he punched home a two-yard TD in the third quarter. Hunt's 62 scrimmage yards were also a season high, as he continues to need those touchdowns to keep his fantasy relevance. Through 10 games, he's produced just 419 scrimmage yards but has seven totals TDs -- six on the ground and one through the air. Hunt will look to hit paydirt again in Week 12 against the Colts.

  • Rashid Shaheed WR | SEA

    Seahawks' Rashid Shaheed: Another quiet game in Week 11 loss

    Shaheed caught two of five targets for 27 yards in the Seahawks' 21-19 loss to the Rams on Sunday. He added one rushing attempt for two yards.

    Shaheed ran as the Seahawks' third wideout behind Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Cooper Kupp. Through two games with his new team, Shaheed has managed just three catches for 30 scoreless yards on six targets. He and Sam Darnold are undoubtedly still working on their timing, and it could take a couple weeks to get on the same page. Shaheed gets a plus Week 12 draw against the Titans next Sunday, but he classifies as a low-floor, high-ceiling WR4 fantasy bet.

  • 49ers' Ricky Pearsall: Just one catch in return

    Pearsall (knee) had one reception on three targets for no gain in Sunday's 41-22 win over the Cardinals.

    Pearsall returned to the starting lineup after missing the 49ers' last five contests with a right knee injury. That's where the positive news ends after the sophomore wideout failed to gain a yard with his only touch Sunday. Jauan Jennings (5-54-0) was the only other wide receiver to finish with more targets than Pearsall, so the latter's lack of involvement was likely due to an unfavorable game script. QB Brock Purdy did take a deep shot at Pearsall on one of the duo's two missed connections, and the wideout showed his usual burst down the field despite the good defensive coverage. Pearsall averaged 5.0 receptions and 81.8 yards in the four games he appeared in prior to getting injured, so there is hope for improved results against the Panthers next Monday.

  • Chiefs' Patrick Mahomes: Comes up short in Denver

    Mahomes completed 29 of 45 passes for 276 yards and a touchdown with an interception in Sunday's 22-19 loss to the Broncos. He added three rushing yards on one carry.

    Even with Patrick Surtain (pectoral) still sidelined, Mahomes had trouble breaking down the Denver secondary, with his lone TD pass coming in the fourth quarter on a play in which Travis Kelce did most of the work. The star QB did at least extend his streak of games with 250-plus passing yards to seven, a stretch in which he's posted a 15:5 TD:INT, 66.8 percent completion rate and 7.7 YPA. Mahomes will try to get back on track, and revive Kansas City's suddenly fading playoff hopes, at home in Week 12 against the Colts.

  • Cooper Kupp WR | SEA

    Seahawks' Cooper Kupp: Quiet in return to Los Angeles

    Kupp secured just three of seven targets for 23 yards in the Seahawks' 21-19 loss to the Rams on Sunday.

    Making his return to Los Angeles after he was released by the Rams during the offseason, Kupp was a fixture in two-wide sets alongside Jaxon Smith-Njigba, but Kupp's quiet season continued, as his 23 yards were fifth-most on the team despite being third on Seattle in targets. The 32-year-old has yet to hit 100 yards in a game this season and has just 29 catches for 390 yards and one touchdown on 42 targets through nine games. Even in a plus matchup next Sunday against the Titans, Kupp won't be a recommended fantasy starter.

  • Giants' Devin Singletary: Records pair of rush TDs in loss

    Singletary rushed 16 times for 44 yards and two touchdowns and brought in his only target for three yards in the Giants' 27-20 loss to the Packers on Sunday.

    Singletary wasn't efficient on the ground, but he made up for the modest yardage with five- and two-yard touchdown runs in the first half. The veteran back logged just three fewer carries than Tyrone Tracy, but the latter managed to double up Singletary in rushing yardage and also contributed 51 receiving yards. Consequently, Singletary projects to continue serving in a No. 2 role during a Week 12 road matchup against the Lions.

  • Giants' Tyrone Tracy: Breakout performance in loss

    Tracy rushed 19 times for 88 yards and brought in all four targets for 51 yards in the Giants' 27-20 loss to the Packers on Sunday.

    Tracy was given the chance to pace the ground attack in interim head coach Mike Kafka's first game at the helm, and the second-year pro responded with his best all-around performance of the campaign. With Sunday's performance, Tracy eclipsed what was then a season-high 71 rushing yards he'd posted in Week 10 against the Bears, and he also finished with a season high in receiving yards. Given Sunday's results, Tracy figures to remain in the top role during a Week 12 road matchup against the Lions despite the fact backfield mate Devin Singletary was also effective with two rushing touchdowns on 16 carries.

  • Cedric Tillman WR | CLE

    Browns' Cedric Tillman: Leads team in receiving in defeat

    Tillman caught three of four targets for 52 yards in Sunday's 23-16 loss to the Ravens.

    Tillman was able to pace the team in receiving yards while finishing tied for the lead in catches with fellow wideout Jerry Jeudy. The 25-year-old was limited by a glute injury at practice throughout the week, but he didn't look any worse for wear in Week 11. Tillman will look to build off Sunday's performance when the Browns square off with the Raiders in Week 12.

  • Evan Engram TE | DEN

    Broncos' Evan Engram: Posts 33 yards in victory

    Engram caught four of five targets for 33 yards in the Broncos' 22-19 win over the Chiefs on Sunday.

    Engram has yet to hit 50 yards receiving in a game this season and is playing less than 50 percent of the offensive snaps, as Adam Trautman is coach Sean Payton's preferred blocking tight end on early downs. Through 10 games, Engram has just 32 catches for 260 yards and one touchdown on 50 targets. He's not a recommended fantasy starter at tight end down the stretch as the Broncos head into their Week 12 bye.

  • Jaguars' Trevor Lawrence: Posts two total TDs in win

    Lawrence completed 14 of 22 passes for 153 yards with a touchdown and an interception while rushing five times for nine yards and another score in the Jaguars' 35-6 win over the Chargers on Sunday.

    Lawrence put together another lackluster stat line, but he leveraged the strong work of his ground game and defense for an easy win. Both of the fourth-year signal-caller's touchdowns came from one yard out, as he recorded a short scoring run with just under eight minutes remaining in the third quarter and had a short scoring toss to Tim Patrick early in the final period. Lawrence has now been under 200 passing yards in consecutive games and on four occasions overall this season, and he'll next face off with the inconsistent Cardinals defense in a Week 12 road matchup.
