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.
Giants RB Tyrone Tracy Jr. again led the backfield with 21 backfield touches to Devin Singletary’s two. Tracy only rushed for 45 yards on 16 carries but did fine the endzone. He also drew 10 targets catching five for 38 yards.
The Vikings passing game got right with WR Jordan Addison catching eight of 12 targets for 133 yards and three TDs. WR Justin Jefferson also ended his six game streak without a TD catching all seven targets for 132 yards and two TDs.
Falcons WR Drake London had 10 targets against the Vikings, but was only able to haul in 70 yards. He also didn’t find the end zone for the fourth game in a row. His teammates had better fantasy days with Darnell Mooney catching six of seven targets for 142 yards while Ray-Ray McCloud caught eight of 11 targets for 98 yards.
Vikings QB Sam Darnold went wild against the Atlanta Falcons supporting both Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison to top-five fantasy performances. The Falcons pass defense has struggled throughout the season and Darnold took full advantage completing 22 of 28 passes.
Falcons QB Kirk Cousins extended his streak of not throwing a TD pass despite a big passing performance. He completed 23 of 37 for 344 yards. Cousins did throw two interceptions against his former team.
Saints QB Derek Carr suffered an apparent left arm injury in the fourth quarter of Sunday's game vs. the Giants and quickly headed back to the locker room. He was replaced by QB Jake Haener. Stay tuned for an update on Carr.
Update: Carr is being checked for a concussion and hand injury.
Raiders QB Aidan O'Connell was carted off in the third quarter of Sunday's game vs. the Bucs with his left leg in an air cast. He's been replaced by QB Desmond Ridder. We'll update O'Connell's status when we know more, but this looks like a season-ender.
Bears WR D.J. Moore (quad) is active for today’s game vs. the 49ers. He only got in a limited practice on Friday, but we’ve heard nothing about his role being limited today. Moore is fine to get into fantasy lineups if you were waiting on him.
Bears RB D'Andre Swift (quad) is active for today’s game vs. the 49ers. He only got in a limited practice on Friday, so it’s safe to assume he won’t be at 100% today. RB Roschon Johnson (concussion) is out, though, freeing up passing-down and goal-line work. RBs Travis Homer and Darrynton Evans are also active for the Bears.
Bills TE Dalton Kincaid (knee) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Rams. That again leaves Dawson Knox as Buffalo’s lead TE. He’s registered 82% and 68% route rates with Kincaid out the last two games and is a viable spot starter today against the Rams’ 20th-ranked TE defense.
Bills WR Keon Coleman (wrist) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Rams. He was reportedly a game-time decision, so we’d expect him back next week. Buffalo will continue to roll with WRs Khalil Shakir, Amari Cooper, Curtis Samuel, and Mack Hollins.
