Vikings | Mason held to 20 yards on 8 carries in loss to Lions Sun Nov 1, 04:10 PM
Minnesota Vikings RB Jordan Mason ran 8 times for 20 yards in Sunday's 19-15 loss to the Detroit Lions. He was projected for 10.7 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 2.0.
| Footballguys view: Aaron Jones once again played after suffering an aggravation of his nagging knee injury last week, and he arguably outplayed Mason. It doesn't appear that Jones is going away after getting a heavy workload on a gimpy knee for four weeks while Mason was on injured reserve with a thumb injury. The offense is not coming together with Kyler Murray at quarterback, and neither Vikings running back is more than a what-the-heck flex against the Bills next week. |

Lions | Gibbs runs for 153 yards, one TD in win over Vikings, Vaki adds 65 rushing yards Sun Nov 1, 04:10 PM
Detroit Lions RB Jahmyr Gibbs ran 23 times for 153 yards and a touchdown and also caught 2 passes for 15 yards on 4 targets in Sunday's 19-15 win over the Minnesota Vikings. He was projected for 22.0 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 23.8. Backup Sione Vaki gained 65 yards on 11 carries and added a catch for five yards on his only target.
| Footballguys view: Gibbs and the rest of the Lions offense met the physical intensity of the Vikings defense and then some in the running game, and the quality of the running game dictated the result of this hard fought divisional battle. The Vikings blitz of blitzes doesn't matter as much when they can't stop you from running the ball for first downs. Sione Vaki becomes a priority pickup as long as bench size allows backup running backs to be carried with the Lions morphing into an "establish it" team in Week 8. |

Bengals | DJ Turner injury 'MASSIVE' for thin secondary as Ward picks on Josh Newton for TD Sun Nov 1, 04:06 PM
Bengals CB DJ Turner II's injury is "MASSIVE given the depth issues in this secondary" for Cincinnati. Titans QB Cam Ward picked on Bengals CB Josh Newton for a touchdown in Sunday's game, with Newton never turning around to look for the ball.
| Footballguys view: Next week, the Bengals will face Drake London in Atlanta. If Turner can't go, London could have one of his patented week-winning fantasy supernova games. |

Raiders | Bowers catches 7 passes for 92 yards, two touchdowns in win over Jets Sun Nov 1, 04:05 PM
Las Vegas Raiders TE Brock Bowers caught 7 passes for 92 yards and two touchdowns on 10 targets in Sunday's 38-33 win over the New York Jets. He was projected for 15.2 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 24.7.
| Footballguys view: Both of Bowers touchdowns were short passes with one diving grab in the end zone and one nifty score where Klint Kubiak brought him across the formation at the snap and the defense lost him at the goal line. After missing the first two games, he has become the clear #1 tight end and "Jaxon Smith-Njigba" for Kubiak in Las Vegas. He'll face the 49ers coming off of his bye next week. |

Las Vegas Raiders WR Jalen Nailor caught 4 passes for 38 yards and a touchdown on 4 targets in Sunday's 38-33 win over the New York Jets. He was projected for 3.5 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 11.8.

Jets | Mitchell catches 7 passes for 142 yards, a touchdown in loss to Raiders, Cooper held out of box score Sun Nov 1, 04:05 PM
New York Jets WR Adonai Mitchell caught 7 passes for 142 yards and a touchdown on 9 targets in Sunday's 38-33 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders. He was projected for 4.5 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 23.7. WR Omar Cooper
| Footballguys view: Mitchell was emerging as a key target for Geno Smith after reports all offseason that the two had strong chemistry on the practice field. A finger injury sidelined him for four weeks and first round pick Omar Cooper Jr. appeared to overtake Mitchell with back-to-back 100 yard and a touchdown games in his first two full games. Cooper ran the same number of routes as Mitchell, but did not get a target. Both will be boom/bust WR3/Flex plays in a tough matchup against the Chiefs next week. |

Raiders | Cousins throws for 247 yards, three touchdowns in win over Jets Sun Nov 1, 04:05 PM
Las Vegas Raiders QB Kirk Cousins completed 19 of 26 passes for 247 yards with 3 touchdowns and ran 5 times for 3 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 38-33 win over the New York Jets. He was projected for 16.1 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 28.2.
| Footballguys view: Cousins got a tush push score after a Connor Heyward fourth down attempt in that formation failed. Add that to his three touchdown passes (two to Brock Bowers) and you have an elite QB1 fantasy day if you used him as a streamer or Brock Purdy bye week coverage. The Raiders a 4-4 and could be buyers at the trade deadline with a clarifying stretch of San Francisco, Seattle, and Denver up next on the schedule. The Chiefs will take aim at the feeble Jets defense led by likely lame duck head coach Aaron Glenn. |

Jets | Allen runs for 147 yards, one TD in loss to Raiders Sun Nov 1, 04:05 PM
New York Jets RB Braelon Allen ran 21 times for 147 yards and a touchdown and also caught 2 passes for 6 yards on 2 targets in Sunday's 38-33 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders. He was projected for 16.3 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 22.3.
| Footballguys view: Allen once again ran like an entrenched NFL starting running back while Breece Hall rounds back into shape after a Week 3 groin injury. Hall should be back next week against the Chiefs, but he also could be the subject of trade talks with the 22-year-old Allen balling out. Allen did leave briefly with a leg injury in the fourth quarter, so we'll be monitoring that with Hall due back. |

Raiders | Tucker held to 0 catches for 0 yards in win over Jets Sun Nov 1, 04:05 PM
Las Vegas Raiders WR Tre Tucker caught 0 passes for 0 yards on 1 target in Sunday's 38-33 win over the New York Jets. He was projected for 10.4 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 0.0.
| Footballguys view: Tucker hadn't posted lower than four catches for 41 yards in a game since a 2-27 Week 1 dud. The Raiders had a ton of success against a Jets defense that had trouble covering Brock Bowers and Michael Mayer. The tight end duo combined for 12 catches, 145 yards and two scores, which made Tucker an afterthought in the passing game. He's still at worst a what-the-heck WR3/Flex against the 49ers next week with three elite WR1 games under his belt so far this season. Don't drop him out of frustration if you finally played him this week after benching him in his spike weeks. |

Buccaneers | Gainwell runs for 140 yards in win over Falcons Sun Nov 1, 03:56 PM
Tampa Bay Buccaneers RB Kenny Gainwell ran 25 times for 140 yards in Sunday's 16-0 win over the Atlanta Falcons. He was projected for 5.9 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 14.0.
| Footballguys view: Gainwell came out of last week with a hip injury after getting 14 carries for 88 yards. He missed Wednesday's practice and was limited on Thursday, but got in a full practice on Friday with a questionable designation. Coming into Sunday, the reports on his game status were optimistic and he showed why. The Bucs are going to lean into the run game and Gainwell is proving that he can handle a big load even though, like Bucky Irving, he's not built like a traditional workhorse back at around 5'9" 200 pounds. Gainwell is a priority pickup in leagues with adequate bench size to carry backup running backs. |

Buccaneers | Mayfield held to 0 passing yards in win over Falcons Sun Nov 1, 03:56 PM
Tampa Bay Buccaneers QB Baker Mayfield completed 0 of 3 passes for 0 yards in Sunday's 16-0 win over the Atlanta Falcons. He was projected for 15.7 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 1.4.
| Footballguys view: The Bucs could not have scripted a better first two games for Mayfield's previously dislocated thumb on his throwing hand. He has thrown 14 passes over the last two weeks to greatly lower the chances of some sort of setback with the injury. Mayfield is going to be a fantasy disappointment this season as a low ceiling QB2/Superflex in a running game/defense based Bucs team that is back in the thick of the NFC South after starting 1-5. Todd Bowles is off of the plank and the team is rallying in a blueprint that reflects his personality. |

Falcons | Pitts held to 2 catches for 6 yards in loss to Buccaneers Sun Nov 1, 03:56 PM
Atlanta Falcons TE Kyle Pitts Sr. caught 2 passes for 6 yards on 5 targets in Sunday's 16-0 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He was projected for 7.7 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 1.6.
| Footballguys view: Pitts was wide open for a play that could have been a long score if he wasn't overthrown, and he would have overcome the biblical rainstorm that made it near impossible for both run games to function in this contest. Pitts should still be in fantasy lineups next week against a Bengals defense that just gave up a big game to Titans tight end Gunnar Helm. |

Falcons | Penix held to 125 passing yards in loss to Buccaneers Sun Nov 1, 03:56 PM
Atlanta Falcons QB Michael Penix Jr. completed 8 of 24 passes for 125 yards and 4 interceptions in Sunday's 16-0 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He was projected for 14.1 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 2.1.

Buccaneers | Irving runs for 170 yards, one TD in win over Falcons Sun Nov 1, 03:56 PM
Tampa Bay Buccaneers RB Bucky Irving ran 27 times for 170 yards and a touchdown and lost 1 fumble in Sunday's 16-0 win over the Atlanta Falcons. He was projected for 14.6 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 21.0.
| Footballguys view: The Bucs are 3-0 in games Irving has gotten at least 20 carries. This is actually one of those times that Irving getting more work and influencing the game is driving the outcome more than Irving is riding the game script to inflated numbers on a good day for the team. The Bucs defense got an assist from a Florida deluge, but they have been one of the best defenses in the league this season, pairing perfectly with Irving punching above his weight class. He wore down after four games as the starter last year, but it appears that Irving was ready for the wear and tear of leading the running game this season. He's a strong RB1 play against the Bears next week. |

Falcons | London held to 1 catch for 8 yards in loss to Buccaneers Sun Nov 1, 03:56 PM
Atlanta Falcons WR Drake London caught 1 pass for 8 yards on 6 targets in Sunday's 16-0 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He was projected for 13.6 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 1.3.
| Footballguys view: The game was played in a monsoon, so don't read too much into this result. Next week, London and the rest of the Falcons offense will face a Bengals defense that just gave up 36 points to the Titans. Don't despair. |

Colts | Daniel Jones benched for Anthony Richardson after two interceptions vs. Jaguars, Steichen "evaluating" everything Sun Nov 1, 03:53 PM
Colts QB Daniel Jones was benched in favor of QB Anthony Richardson Sr. with a little over 11 minutes left in Sunday's blowout loss to the Jaguars. Jones was 19-of-28 for 144 yards with a touchdown and two interceptions, one of which was returned for a Jacksonville score, when he was replaced. He opened the third quarter as the starter after the first interception and threw a touchdown pass to prevent a shutout, but was pulled after LB Branson Combs picked him off on his first drive of the fourth quarter. Head coach Shane Steichen had offered a vote of confidence in Jones before Sunday's game.
| Footballguys view: The Jaguars also blew out the Patriots and Browns at home earlier this season, but the Colts still looked like a team that had given up on the season in this game. Next week they will face a Cowboys team that thought they had won when they were up 14 points in the third quarter and Gardner Minshew got in for a benched Jacoby Brissett. Head coach (for now) Shane Steichen said he is "evaluating" whether Jones is the starter going forward, among other things. He will get more questions about starting quarterback (for now) Daniel Jones this week. |

We'll watch the practice reports heading into the matchup against the Seahawks next week so you'll know if Wilson is available for the tough matchup. |
