Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson fell victim to game script and an overall ineffectiveness on offense in Sunday's 38-6 road loss to the Broncos. The score was 21-6 at halftime and the Falcons were in catch-up mode, but with the score 38-6 after a Broncos TD early in the fourth quarter, the Falcons waived the white flag and backup Jase McClellan relieved Robinson for the rest of the game. The former first-round draft pick finished with 35 yards on 12 carries while adding four catches for 28 yards. Atlanta's only points came on two field goals, so none of the Falcon offensive weapons were able to find the end zone. The good news is that backup Tyler Allgeier did not eat into Robinson's workload at all, having not recorded a single carry in the contest, and the 22-year-old remained involved in the passing game, catching at least three passes for the eighth consecutive contest and the 10th time in 11 games. He'll look to rebound after the bye when the Falcons take on the Chargers at home in Week 13, although that will be a difficult task. The Chargers have allowed just one 100-yard rusher and only three rushing TDs all season.

Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson has been one of the top running backs in fantasy through the first 10 weeks of the season, especially given his heavy involvement in the passing game. Last week's performance marked the fifth consecutive contest in which the 22-year-old went over 100 total yards rushing and receiving and the seventh straight in which he caught at least three passes. The former first-round draft pick is up to six rushing and one receiving touchdowns on the season, while his 41 receptions give him the third-most among running backs. In Week 11, the second-year pro will face a Denver rush defense that has allowed the 14th-most fantasy points to RBs and was pushed around by Derrick Henry as recently as Week 9 to the tune of 23-106-2. With the Broncos better against the pass, the Falcons may lean on the ground game more than usual in Week 11, but given his ability to catch passes out of the backfield, either way they choose to go puts Robinson in a position to finish as a high-end RB1 in Week 11.

Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson led the offense with 20 carries for 116 yards and two touchdowns, adding three catches for 28 yards as well, but his team still fell to the Saints 20-17 on Sunday afternoon. Robinson was nearly not afforded the opportunity for his first score, as the Falcons decided to hand the ball off to Tyler Allgeier three straight times from the 1-yard line, only to be stuffed on all three tries. However, Atlanta went for it on 4th-and-1, with Robinson cashing it in for a TD. It was the fifth consecutive contest in which the 22-year-old went over 100 total yards rushing and receiving and seventh straight that he's caught at least three passes, making him even more valuable in PPR formats. The former first-round draft pick now has six rushing TDs on the season along with a receiving TD as well. The Falcons may lean more on the ground game again in Week 11 against a tough Broncos pass defense and Robinson will once again be locked in as an RB1.

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jerry Jeudy caught all six of his targets for 85 yards in a 24-19 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 12's Thursday night game. Jeudy led the Browns in all receiving categories on a cold, snowy evening in Cleveland where passing yards were hard to come by. The veteran receiver came up big in the close win, making several clutch catches to keep the chains moving including a big 15-yard catch on third-and-six in the fourth quarter that set up Nick Chubb for the game-winning touchdown run. Jeudy has been on fire of late, having caught at least five passes while reaching at least 73 receiving yards in five straight games. He will be a WR3 in fantasy in a tough matchup against the Denver Broncos in Week 13.

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jerry Jeudy (knee) turned in his best game of the season last week, catching six passes for 142 yards and a touchdown in a loss to the New Orleans Saints. He will look to stay hot at home against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 12's Thursday night game. The Steelers have been a difficult matchup for receivers this season as they allow the eighth-fewest fantasy points per game to the position. The veteran receiver is listed without an injury designation heading into Thursday despite being listed with a knee injury on the practice report earlier in the week. Jeudy's performance last week was certainly encouraging but the prohibitive matchup in Week 12 does not set up for a likely encore. That being said, Jeudy is still worth plugging into fantasy lineups as a WR3 this week.

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jerry Jeudy (knee) was a full participant in practice on Tuesday. Jeudy has been listed on the injury report for two straight days but has been a full participant both times. Jeudy certainly did not appear to be limited by injury in Week 11. He caught six passes on 11 targets for 142 yards and a touchdown in a loss to the New Orleans Saints. The production was by far Jeudy's best of the season. With quarterback Jameis Winston slinging the rock, Jeudy has enjoyed solid success in recent weeks. He has reached at least 73 receiving yards in three straight games. Week 11 marked his second touchdown of the season. The Browns will meet the Pittsburgh Steelers on Thursday Night Football in Week 12. The Steelers pose a tough matchup for opposing offenses. However, Winston has been able to find success through pure volume and that does not project to dwindle in Week 12. With the way the Steelers' offense is playing, they should have no problem jumping out to a lead in this game. As such, the Browns should have to play catch up just as they have for most of the season. Jeudy has a chance to deliver high-end flex value or even WR2 numbers once again in Week 12.

Detroit Lions tight end Sam LaPorta (shoulder) practiced in full for the second straight day this week on Thursday and appears to be on track to playing this Sunday against the Indianapolis Colts in Week 12. LaPorta suffered an AC joint sprain in his shoulder in the Week 10 win over the Houston Texans and was inactive in last Sunday's blowout win over the Jacksonville Jaguars. The 23-year-old appears to have healed nicely in the week he had to rest, and barring a setback on Friday, he should be able to play this Sunday at Lucas Oil Stadium. While LaPorta has mostly disappointed fantasy managers in 2024 after leading all TEs in fantasy points in his rookie season, he'll have an opportunity to produce strong numbers against a Colts defense that has allowed the sixth-most half-PPR points per game to the position this year.

Detroit Lions tight end Sam LaPorta (shoulder) was estimated as a full participant on Wednesday during the team's walkthrough practice. LaPorta suffered an AC joint sprain in the Week 10 win over the Houston Texans that caused him to miss last week's blowout win over the Jacksonville Jaguars. The week off apparently did the second-year TE well, though, and head coach Dan Campbell is optimistic of LaPorta's chances of returning this Sunday to face the Indianapolis Colts at Lucas Oil Stadium. All signs are pointing to the 23-year-old's return this weekend, but fantasy managers should have a backup plan just in case. If he returns, LaPorta will be at worst a low-end TE1 for fantasy managers. He certainly hasn't lived up to his high draft stock after finishing as the TE1 in 2023 as a rookie, and he's currently averaging 7.5 half-PPR points, which ranks 16th among TEs in 2024.

Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell said that he feels good about tight end Sam LaPorta (shoulder) playing on Sunday versus the Indianapolis Colts in Week 12. As of Wednesday, it's trending in the right direction for LaPorta to suit up after he missed the Week 11 blowout win over the Jacksonville Jaguars due to an AC joint sprain he suffered the week prior. "Questionable to above," Campbell said. It remains to be seen how much LaPorta even practiced on Wednesday, but this is obviously good news for LaPorta's fantasy managers. The 23-year-old has had a sophomore slump in 2024 after leading all TEs in fantasy points a year ago, but he'd certainly at least be a low-end TE1 if he's able to return this weekend to face the Colts. If LaPorta sits a second straight game, backup Brock Wright would once again be in play as a TE2 streamer in fantasy.

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba caught 10 of 11 targets for 110 yards in a Week 11 win over the San Francisco 49ers. Smith-Njigba led the Seahawks in targets and dominated the middle of the field. The question coming out of the Seahawks' bye was how they might use Smith-Njigba moving forward. If the last two games are any indication, he is going to be a focal point in the offense. Prior to his last two games, Smith-Njigba had been relatively inconsistent. He had a decent target share, but he was a middle-of-the-road wide receiver in fantasy. On a day in which quarterback Geno Smith only threw for 221 yards, it is encouraging that Smith-Njigba had 110 receiving yards. He is starting to build a lot of momentum in this offense.

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba had a huge game in Week 9 prior to the Seahawks' Week 10 bye. Without DK Metcalf (knee) in the lineup, Smith-Njigba caught seven passes for 180 yards and two touchdowns. He was certainly treated as the No. 1 wide receiver in the offense while Metcalf was out. However, Metcalf is on track to play in Week 11 in a tougher matchup against the San Francisco 49ers. The 49ers are the No. 10 team against opposing wide receivers in fantasy. Smith-Njigba has been inconsistent this season, but he has flashed his ability to be a high-end producer in fantasy on multiple occasions. There is no doubt that the 49ers will be able to score on Seattle's defense. As such, the passing volume should be high for the Seahawks which gives Smith-Njigba a chance at WR2 production even with Metcalf back in the lineup.

On Sunday, Chicago Bears running back Roschon Johnson made his mark in the team's Week 11 loss to the Green Bay Packers. While his role in the offense was limited, Johnson made the most of his opportunities, rushing 10 times for 33 yards and a touchdown. Once again, he served as the short-yardage back, converting a goal-line touch into a score. Johnson also caught one pass for 8 yards. The coaching change, with Thomas Brown replacing Shane Waldron as offensive coordinator, seemed to slightly improve the Bears' offense, and Johnson's role remains steady. While he faces a tough upcoming schedule, his position in the Bears' backfield appears secure. The Bears won't have much time to regroup as they host the tough Minnesotabrutalngs next Sunday at Soldier Field. Minnesota's defense, led by Brian Flores, will provide another significant challenge.

Chicago Bears running back Roschon Johnson is a speculative play in Week 11 as he faces the Green Bay Packers. With the Bears continuing their limited backfield rotation, Johnson is more of a dart throw for fantasy managers in deeper leagues or those looking for a potential sleeper. This week, the Bears made a significant change by firing offensive coordinator Shane Waldron on Tuesday, just nine games into his tenure. The team promoted passing game coordinator Thomas Brown to take over as offensive coordinator, hoping this coaching change will help improve the offense's overall efficiency. Ideally, a more productive offense would increase goal-line opportunities for Johnson, who has flashed potential when given chances. However, the Bears' offensive line is still dealing with significant injuries and is unlikely to be at full strength this Sunday, which hurts the offense as a whole. Given these concerns, Johnson should be viewed as a deep-league desperation play, with his best hope being a touchdown or two to salvage his fantasy value.

On Sunday, Chicago Bears running back Roschon Johnson had a minimal impact in the team's Week 10 loss to the New England Patriots. With a limited role in the offense, Johnson carried the ball just once and finished with an unfortunate total of negative four rushing yards. His involvement in the passing game could have been more extensive, as he caught just one pass for five yards. The Bears' offense struggled to gain traction throughout the game, punting on eight of their eleven possessions and turning the ball over on downs twice. With the offense unable to sustain drives, Johnson and other skill players had little opportunity to make an impact. Johnson and the Bears offense will look to rebound next week against the Green Bay Packers, who will be coming off a bye week and ready to face the challenge.

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Rashod Bateman has been operating as the team's deep threat this year but wasn't able to find much open field against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Sunday's loss. The Minnesota product finished with two receptions for 30 yards on five targets. The passing game went stale as Lamar Jackson completed under 50% of his throws, and Bateman couldn't get open down the field. The offense will look to bounce back in a big way against the Los Angeles Chargers on Monday night in Week 12.

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Rashod Bateman continues the best season of his career as he caught another touchdown pass in the Week 10 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals. The former first-round pick finished with six receptions for 54 yards and a score on eight targets. Bateman is now 14 yards shy of his career-high for receiving yards in a single season and has done so with 15 fewer receptions so far. He's starting to turn a corner and become the big-play receiver that the Ravens hoped he would be. His next chance to score will be against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 11.

Green Bay Packers tight end Tucker Kraft was a non-factor in the Packers' 20-19 victory over the Chicago Bears in Week 11. Kraft only earned just one target, a short target that was intercepted by Chicago's Terell Smith in the second quarter. The lack of involvement was felt in the Packers' passing attack which only had 17 pass attempts through the entire game. With the number of quality pass-catching options available for quarterback Jordan Love, there will be games like this by Kraft. With the Packers heading back home to host the San Francisco 49ers in Week 12, Kraft should be considered a low-end TE1 for fantasy football.

Green Bay Packers tight end Tucker Kraft has been a very solid tight end for fantasy purposes this season and looks to keep up that standing when the Packers head to Chicago to take on the Bears in Week 11. Coming off the team's Week 10 bye week, Kraft is in a good spot to keep up his strong season where he's been a top-12 tight end in four of the last six games. While the target-earning potential hasn't quite been there for Kraft this season, he's making the most of his touches with four touchdowns in his past five games as a clear outlet for quarterback Jordan Love. The Bears are just middle of the road when it comes to defending tight ends as they're 15th in the NFL in tight end fantasy points allowed. Consider Kraft a low-end TE1 worth starting in the Packers' matchup with Chicago in Week 11.
