Corum took 13 carries for 56 yards without being targeted as a receiver in Sunday's 42-26 win over San Francisco.

Corum received double-digit touches for the third game in a row as the Rams' offense continued to toy with opposing defenses. Kyren Williams (14-73-2) still led the Rams' backfield in production while maintaining his elite fantasy status, but Corum has quietly carved out a consistent change-of-pace role during Los Angeles' hot stretch of play. With just one touchdown over nine appearances, the talented backup's recent increase in playing time only benefits those in deeper formats for next Sunday's tilt against the Seahawks.

Johnston had five receptions on 10 targets for 42 yards in Sunday's 25-10 win over Pittsburgh.

Johnston paced the Chargers in targets on Sunday Night Football, finishing with his second game recording double-digit targets this season. The large volume didn't result in a notable fantasy score this time around, as it was Ladd McConkey (4-107-1) who cashed in Justin Herbert's lone touchdown pass of the evening. Johnston is still on pace for a career year with a 37-502-6 receiving line through nine appearances. The 23-year-old will look to enter Los Angeles' Week 12 bye on a high note with a strong showing against the Jaguars next Sunday.

Metcalf recorded three receptions on seven targets for 35 yards in Sunday's 25-10 loss to the Chargers.

Metcalf saw a decent amount of opportunity with seven targets, the fourth time he's hit that mark this season. His longest gain went for 19 yards late in the first quarter, which came shortly after he narrowly missed out on a long touchdown. Regardless, Metcalf has only 41 total yards across his last two games while recording five receptions on 11 targets.

Vele had one reception (on three targets) for 15 yards during Sunday's 17-7 win against Carolina.

Vele was expected to see more playing time after the Saints traded away their WR2 Rashid Shaheed on Tuesday, but the second-year wideout didn't see a corresponding uptick in targets. Four of New Orleans' pass-catchers logged three targets, including running backs Alvin Kamara and Devin Neal along with tight end Foster Moreau. WR1 Chris Olave and TE1 Juwan Johnson led the team with eight and four targets, respectively. If New Orleans' offense continues to lean into their running backs and tight ends, then Vele doesn't figure to see much increase in production after this Shaheed trade. His next opportunity to play will be after the Saints' Week 11 bye week when they face Atlanta on Sunday, Nov. 23.

Allen had two receptions on five targets for 19 yards in Sunday's 25-10 win over Pittsburgh.

It was another low-volume game from Allen following last week's two-catch performance, finishing with five or fewer targets for the third straight contest. The 19 receiving yards also marked a new single-game low in what has been a productive return to the club that drafted the veteran wideout back in 2013. The longtime Charger set a franchise record by surpassing Antonio Gates as the all-time leader in receptions with his 956th catch in 12 years with the club. Allen will attempt to ramp his production back up in a soft matchup against the Jaguars next Sunday.

Neal tallied four rushes for 22 yards and gathered in all three targets for nine yards during Sunday's 17-7 win against the Panthers.

Neal operated as the Saints' RB2 behind Alvin Kamara for the second week in a row. The Saints' offense bounced back after last week's dreadful performance in a loss to the Rams, and Kamara powered the running game with a season-high 22 carries for 83 yards. Neal hasn't seen much usage over the last two games, as Taysom Hill has continued to cycle in as a rushing quarterback in short-yardage and goal-line situations. The 22-year-old Neal's next opportunity will come after the Saints' Week 11 bye, when they face the Falcons on Sunday, Nov. 23.

Hill logged seven carries for 20 yards and zero receptions (on one target) for zero yards during Sunday's 17-7 win over Carolina. He also failed to complete his lone passing attempt.

Hill tallied a season high in rushing attempts for his second straight game with at least 20 rushing yards. However, four of his seven carries came on consecutive plays immediately before QB1 Tyler Shough kneeled it out on the final drive of the fourth quarter. The 35-year-old once again finished with the Saints' second-most carries behind Alvin Kamara (22) and ahead of RB2 Devin Neal (four). Over six games this season, Hill has totaled 22 carries for 52 yards and a rushing touchdown, and he has three catches on four targets. The Saints will be on bye during Week 11, so Hill's next chance to score won't be until the Week 12 contest versus Atlanta on Sunday, Nov. 23.

Warren rushed the ball 14 times for 70 yards in Sunday's 25-10 loss to the Chargers. He added two receptions on two targets for 21 yards.

Warren accounted for 14 of the 16 carries by Pittsburgh's running backs, as Kenneth Gainwell was phased almost entirely out of the offense. That allowed Warren to record his second-highest rushing yardage total of the season, and he was one of the few bright spots in the offense. Warren hasn't found the end zone consistently this season, but his role has improved as the season has progressed.

Herbert completed 20 of 33 pass attempts for 220 yards and a touchdown while rushing five times for 19 yards in Sunday's 25-10 win over the Steelers.

Herbert posted a traditional "game manager" type stat line, taking good care of the football while doing enough to lift his team to victory. The loss of LT Joe Alt (ankle) to injured reserve was on full display, as the Chargers' signal-caller was sacked five times on Sunday Night Football. Herbert suffered an injury on one of the first-half sacks, but he was able to stay in the game after having his ankle taped up, according to ESPN's Kris Rhim. The 27-year-old showed no mobility limitations in the second half, which should help put his fantasy managers' thoughts at ease moving forward. Herbert will benefit from facing the Jaguars' 28th-ranked pass defense next Sunday in the Chargers' last game preceding the team's Week 12 bye.

Rodgers completed 16 of 31 passes for 161 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions in Sunday's 25-10 loss to the Chargers.

The Steelers had minimal success moving the ball at any point when the outcome was in doubt, and Rodgers made several uncharacteristic mistakes. He took a safety midway through the first quarter and then overthrew his intended targets several times, including an interception late in the second quarter that led to a touchdown for the Chargers. Rodgers managed to lead a garbage-time drive late in the fourth quarter to rack up 64 yards and a touchdown to pad his stat line, but he has now averaged 6.1 yards per attempt or fewer in three straight games.
