CIN @ BAL
- Joe Burrow and Ja'Marr Chase were both week winners against Baltimore for the second time this year. Continue to target the Ravens pass defense when you set your lineup.
- Mike Gesicki shared tight end targets with Tanner Hudson, who outproduced him. If Tee Higgins is back for Week 11 against the Chargers, don’t look to the Bengals for your tight end play.
- The addition of Khalil Herbert didn’t dent Chase Brown’s workload. Brown is still on the league-winner track.
- Rashod Bateman was a chain-moving possession receiver for the first time this season. He has multiple paths to value now and should be rostered in all leagues. He’s a WR3/Flex play against Pittsburgh.
- Tylan Wallace got more snaps than Diontae Johnson and scored an 84-yard touchdown and two other balls to total 115 yards on the night. Johnson isn’t worth carrying in redraft leagues.
NYG v CAR - Germany
- Daniel Jones was terrible, even against a terrible defense. He could be benched coming out of the upcoming bye. Drew Lock should be added in 2QB/Superflex. This could be a good move for Malik Nabers value.
- Bryce Young is being used mostly as a game manager, making the Panthers passing game a barren source of potential fantasy plays.
- Chuba Hubbard looked as good as ever after getting a big contract during the week. He suffered a knee injury but played through it. He’s clearly the starter, even when Jonathon Brooks is active after the upcoming bye.
NE @ CHI
- The Patriots offense was quiet because their defense dominated the Bears, and Drake Maye didn’t need to be aggressive. Maye should still be rostered in typical leagues with matchups that will ask him to pass and scramble more coming up.
- Kayshon Boutte was the only true full-time receiver for Maye. He should be on PPR rosters if bench size allows. Demario Douglas still outproduced Boutte even though he wasn’t even on the field half of the snaps, so he’s also worth rostering in PPR leagues, with a higher snap count coming when the Patriots offense has to open up.
- The Bears offense was so bad that offensive coordinator Shane Waldron got fired. Things could improve, but probably not dramatically, as not all of the blame for the Bears' offensive woes belongs at his feet. All of your Bears receivers should be on the bench against the Packers.
SF @ TB
- Brock Purdy made five different players solid plays. We’ll keep targeting Tampa’s pass defense when we set our lineups, although the only good quarterback left on their schedule is Justin Herbert in Week 15. Purdy is a solid QB1 against Seattle this week.
- Jauan Jennings was the most targeted receiver, and Ricky Pearsall had the long touchdown. Jennings is a WR2/WR3, and Pearsall is a flex against the Seahawks.
- Christian McCaffrey was back and in his usual huge role. Jordan Mason got the same snaps as Isaac Guerendo and might not even be the clear injury upside backup. Mason isn’t an essential hold.
- Baker Mayfield didn’t make any big mistakes and put up a ton of fight, keeping his team in it until the end. He’ll still be a viable fantasy QB1 after the bye as long as Mike Evans returns from his hamstring injury.
- Bucky Irving and Rachaad White were both low-end RB1 plays in PPR leagues and should remain weekly flex plays at worst after the bye.
- Cade Otton was more pedestrian in this one and his ceiling should be a lot lower after the bye if Evans is back on the field.
