Trevor Lawrence QB | JAC
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.

Sam Darnold QB | SEA
Seahawks' Sam Darnold: Comes unraveled in big game
Darnold completed 29 of 44 pass attempts for 279 yards, no touchdowns and four interceptions while rushing for 11 yards on two carries in Sunday's 21-19 loss to the Rams.
Darnold failed to bounce back from last week's three-pick effort, instead lowering the bar by throwing four interceptions for the first time since 2019 during his infamous run with the Jets. It would be unfair to compare that version of the signal-caller to the improved franchise quarterback he developed into over the years, but Darnold is developing a concerning trend of losing his composure in big games. Notably, the last time he faced the Rams -- as a member of the Vikings in 2024 -- he fell flat while committing two turnovers in a playoff loss. The 28-year-old's horrid two-game stretch brings him to 17 touchdowns and 10 interceptions following a red-hot start to the fantasy campaign. Darnold's gaudy passing totals (2,541 yards in 10 starts) keep him in the starting conversation as a fantasy option against the Titans next Sunday.

Colby Parkinson TE | LAR
Rams' Colby Parkinson: Catches late TD in win
Parkinson caught both of his targets for 14 yards and one touchdown in the Rams' 21-19 win over the Seahawks on Sunday.
With Tyler Higbee exiting early with an ankle injury, Parkinson saw an elevated role late in the contest and ended up catching what proved to be the game-winning six-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter. Parkinson has now secured 15 of 17 targets this season for 123 yards and two touchdowns. If Higbee needs to miss Week 12 against the Bucs, Parkinson could once again see more playing time on offense.

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.

Xavier Hutchinson WR | HOU
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.

Michael Penix Jr. QB | ATL
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.
