  • Cole Kmet TE | CHI

    Bears' Cole Kmet: Gets 10 targets

    Kmet recorded seven receptions on 10 targets for 64 yards in Sunday's 30-27 overtime loss to the Vikings.

    Kmet benefitted from a particularly pass-heavy game script for the Bears, commanding double-digit targets for the second time this season. He took advantage by tallying long gains of 20 and 14 yards, the latter of which directly led to a Bears field goal just before halftime. Kmet's spike performances have been tied directly to more passing volume from Caleb Williams, and the Bears could be forced to the air it out often in a Week 13 matchup against the Lions given Detroit's stout run defense. Even with that possibility, Kmet is a risky fantasy option. as he's seen five or fewer targets in all but two contests on the campaign.

  • Broncos' Courtland Sutton: Goes for two scores Sunday

    Sutton grabbed eight receptions (on 10 targets) for 97 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 29-19 win over the Raiders.

    Sutton was on the receiving end of both of Bo Nix's touchdown passes Sunday, resulting in his first multi-score game of 2024. The veteran wideout boosted his season line to 57-744-5 through 12 games with this dominant showing. Sutton has recorded at least 70 receiving yards in five straight contests since being held without a target back in Week 7. Fantasy managers should continue riding this wave of production into next Monday's tilt against the Browns.

  • T.J. Hockenson TE | MIN

    Vikings' T.J. Hockenson: Breaks out against Bears

    Hockenson recorded seven receptions on nine targets for 114 yards in Sunday's 30-27 overtime win over the Bears.

    Hockenson gained a combined 112 yards in his first three games of the season, though he had an explosive performance in Sunday's win with three receptions of at least 20 yards. It was also his first 100-yard performance since Week 10 of the 2023 season. The Vikings talked up Hockenson's role heading into Sunday's matchup, particularly with Josh Oliver (ankle) sidelined, and he should start to see a more consistent role moving forward.

  • Cardinals' Marvin Harrison: Musters three catches in Week 12

    Harrison hauled in three of six targets for 47 yards and no touchdowns during Sunday's 16-6 defeat in Seattle.

    Cardinals pass catchers took a back seat to TE Trey McBride (12-133-0 on 15 targets) in the passing game Week 12, as Harrison's target count ranked second on the team, while his yards from scrimmage were fourth (WR Michael Wilson had 54, and RB James Conner notched 49). Prior to Arizona's Week 11 bye, Harrison was able to salvage lacking performances with touchdowns (six in 10 appearances), but the offense was held out of the end zone this weekend. Harrison's next opportunity to produce is next Sunday at Minnesota.

  • Jordan Love QB | GB

    Packers' Jordan Love: Throws two scores in lopsided win

    Love completed 13 of 23 pass attempts for 163 yards and two touchdowns while rushing once for two yards in Sunday's 38-10 win over San Francisco.

    Love wasn't needed much in Sunday's victory against an opponent starting its backup quarterback, attempting his third-fewest pass attempts this season. The 26-year-old threw for multiple touchdowns for the first time since Week 7, confirming his improved health following a stretch during which he likely wasn't playing at full strength. Love will stay in Green Bay on a short week to host the Dolphins this Thursday on Thanksgiving.

  • Trey McBride TE | ARI

    Cardinals' Trey McBride: Records season-high 12 receptions

    McBride produced 12 catches (on 15 targets) for 133 yards and no touchdowns during Sunday's 16-6 defeat at Seattle.

    McBride was the lone bright spot for the Cardinals offense on an afternoon in which just one teammate surpassed 50 yards from scrimmage (WR Michael Wilson's 54, all through the air). As the focal point of the team's passing game, McBride recorded his second 100-yard performance in 10 appearances this season, but he remains in search of his first touchdown. He'll aim to continue his momentum next Sunday in Minnesota.

  • D'Andre Swift RB | CHI

    Bears' D'Andre Swift: Held to 65 yards from scrimmage

    Swift rushed the ball 13 times for 30 yards in Sunday's 30-27 overtime loss to the Vikings. He added three receptions on four targets for 35 yards.

    Swift gained only 20 yards on 10 carries in the first half and was largely scripted out of the contest in the final two quarters as the Bears played from behind. He did manage his highest yardage total as a receiver since Week 5 to avoid a completely disastrous performance. While Swift has been effective for large portions of the season, he may not bounce back in Week 13 against a tough Lions run defense.

  • Seahawks' Anthony Bradford: Injures ankle against Arizona

    Bradford suffered an ankle injury in Sunday's win over the Cardinals, Curtis Crabtree of Fox 13 Seattle reports.

    Coach Mike Macdonald said Bradford's ankle isn't broken, but he's expected to miss at least the next game next Sunday against the Jets, Crabtree added. Christian Haynes replaced Bradford at right guard following the injury.

  • James Conner RB | ARI

    Cardinals' James Conner: Does little on ground Sunday

    Conner rushed seven times for eight yards and hauled in all five targets for 41 yards during Sunday's 16-6 loss in Seattle.

    Conner was one of four Cardinals to earn a carry, pacing the team, but his yardage total was last among the quartet behind Trey Benson (4-18-0 rushing line), Emari Demercado (1-14-0) and Kyler Murray (2-9-0). In fact, Conner's eight yards on the ground were less than half his previous low on the season (17 in Week 3). Fortunately for the eighth-year pro, he salvaged his day somewhat as a pass catcher, with his 41 receiving yards ranking third most in his 11 appearances to date. Conner may have difficulty getting back on track next Sunday against the Vikings' No. 1 run defense (74.7 yards per game allowed).

  • 49ers' Christian McCaffrey: Struggles sans star QB

    McCaffrey rushed 11 times for 31 yards and lost one fumble while catching three of four targets for 37 yards in Sunday's 38-10 loss to Green Bay.

    The 49ers were without starting quarterback Brock Purdy (shoulder) on Sunday, which allowed the opposition to key in on McCaffrey's 14 touches. The 28-year-old also coughed up his first fumble of the campaign, adding insult to injury for his fantasy managers' box scores. Purdy's injury isn't considered serious, which bodes well for his availability and McCaffrey's point potential on the road against the Bills next Sunday.
