Dolphins TE Jonnu Smith went all of regulation without recording a catch. Then in overtime, the veteran caught all 3 targets for 44 yards and a game-winning score.
Browns QB Jameis Winston tossed a pair of INTs and fumbled once -- though he recovered it -- in Sunday's loss to the Steelers. He otherwise threw for 212 yards and 2 TDs on 24-of-41 passing. That's a lackluster 58.5% completions and 5.2 yards per attempt. Winston added 28 rushing yards on 4 attempts.
Chargers RB J.K. Dobbins (knee) told the NBC broadcast crew that he expects to be back when first eligible in Week 17. Dobbins didn't need surgery for his knee injury and said the Chargers were playing it safe by placing him on IR. It sounds like he might be ready for a significant workload in his first game back. We'll continue to track his status, but Dobbins could at least be a RB3 or Flex option in a plus matchup against the Patriots in Week 17.
Browns RB Nick Chubb averaged 4.4 yards per carry in Sunday's loss to the Steelers. That marked his second-best average through seven apperances this season. But he also garnered just 11 carries vs. Jerome Ford's 10 for the game. Chubb also trailed Ford in pass routes and total snaps once again.
49ers HC Kyle Shanahan said after Sunday's win over the Bears that RB Isaac Guerendo is believed to have a foot sprain. X-rays were not conclusive, and Guerendo is scheduled for more testing on Monday. We should get another update on his status within the next 24 hours, but this injury could certainly cost him time. Guerendo's absence would leave Patrick Taylor as San Francisco's latest lead back.
Panthers RB Chuba Hubbard racked up 26 carries and 5 targets in Sunday's loss to the Eagles. He tallied 92 yards and a TD on the ground, plus 4 receptions for 15 yards. Hubbard saw just one carry go to Jonathon Brooks before the rookie injured his right knee. And No. 3 RB Raheem Blackshear left early with a chest injury.
49ers TE George Kittle had a huge game after a one catch performance last week. He caught all six of his targets for 151 yards. Though Kittle did not find the end zone, it was a sigh of relief for fantasy managers heading into the fantasy playoffs.
49ers WR Jauan Jennings caught seven of his eight targets for 90 yards and two TDs. Teammate Deebo Samuel had a rougher go of it catching only two of his three targets for 22 yards. Samuel also ran the ball five times for only 13 yards.
Bears WR Rome Odunze found the end zone twice in the second half catching four of five tagrtes for 42 yards. The entire Bears’ offense struggled with much of their scoring coming in a catch up attempt in the second half.
49ers RB Isaac Guerendo got his first start and did not disappoint. The rookie ran 15 times for 78 yards while also catching both of his targets for 50 yards. He scored twice on the ground. Guerendo injured his foot late in the game. If that doesn’t cause him to miss time, he has earned the starting role.
49ers QB Brock Purdy resurrected his season by completing 20-of-25 for 325 yards and two TDs against one of the best pass defenses in the league. He mostly focused on WR Jauan Jennings and TE George Kittle who combined for 241 yards, catching 13 of 14 targets.
WR Adam Thielen racked up 9 receptions for 102 yards in Sunday's loss to the Eagles. The numbers look even better when you check his shares of the Carolina team totals. Thielen's 11 targets constituted 32.4% of QB Bryce Young's total pass attempts. He also commanded 47.4% of the team's total receptions and 53.4% of Panthers receiving yards.
49ers RB Isaac Guerendo suffered a foot injury in the fourth quarter of Sunday's game vs. the Bears. He's officially questionable to return. Guerendo was controlling work in the backfield before exiting, carrying 15 times for 78 yards and two scores and catching both of his targets for 50 yards. His absence leaves San Francisco with RBs Patrick Taylor and Israel Abanikanda.
Chargers WR Ladd McConkey (knee, shoulder) is inactive for tonight’s game vs. the Chiefs. That removes the team’s leader in targets, catches, and receiving yards, hurting QB Justin Herbert's fantasy outlook. We’re expecting WR Josh Palmer to kick inside for more slot snaps with McConkey out. WRs Jalen Reagor, Derius Davis, and D.J. Chark are candidates to pick up more snaps. TE Will Dissly could also see more targets without McConkey roaming the middle of the field.
Eagles TE Grant Calcaterra caught all three of his targets for 16 yards and a TD in Sunday's win over the Panthers.
The Saints believe QB Derek Carr fractured his left hand in Sunday's win over the Giants, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. That's Carr's non-throwing hand, but the injury still figures to cost him time, if not the rest of the season. We'll look for a timeline for Carr's return. He was replaced by QB Jake Haener vs. New York. He's probably the favorite over QB Spencer Rattler to start against the Commanders next weekend. It's a situation to steer clear of in fantasy lineups.
Update: The team has confirmed a "significant" fracture of the left hand, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Carr's expected to miss "several weeks," which could obviously mean the end of his season with just four games left.
Eagles WR DeVonta Smith came off a two-game hamstring injury to draw a team-high 6 targets in Sunday's win over the Panthers. That led A.J. Brown by two, though they caught a matching four passes. Brown tallied 43 yards to Smith's 37, but Smith snagged the only TD between them -- one of two Jalen Hurts threw for the game.
Eagles QB Jalen Hurts threw for an absurdly low 108 yards in Sunday's surprisingly narrow victory over the Panthers. But that included a pair of TD tosses. And Hurts added 59 yards with a TD plunge on the ground. He entered the late-afternoon Sunday games trailing only Sam Darnold among QB fantasy scorers.
Saints TE Juwan Johnson caught a third-quarter TD from Derek Carr, the only receiving TD in the Saints/Giants game. With TE Taysom Hill likely sidelined for some time, Johnson has taken over the receiving work, especially in the red zone. He caught four of five targets for 50 yards and the lone TD.
Second year Saints RB Kendre Miller scored an early TD in the first quarter against the Giants. It was one of only two TDs by the Saints in what should have been an easy match-up. Miller had 10 backfield touches for 32 yards while fellow RB Jamaal Williams only had five for 15 yards.
