SF 49ers 28 – 25 ARI Cardinals

Sometimes we get a game where everything that we expect to happen doesn’t happen and the complete opposite happens. That’s fantasy football for you! This was actually a good TNF game to watch aside from fantasy purposes. All analysis was pointing towards the Cardinals not having any shot against the 49ers defense especially with David Johnson and Chase Edmonds out. However, Kenyan Drake came in as the starter after just being traded to Arizona earlier in the week and took over the game. Drake rushed for 110 yards and had 1 TD early in the first quarter while adding on another 52 yards on 4 receptions. Kyler Murray rebounded after his Week 8 performance and managed to find the end zone twice while throwing for 241 yards. His passes were spread out between the team mostly targeting Drake and Larry Fitzgerald but it was the rookie Andy Isabella who had 88 yards and 1 TD on 1 reception. We mentioned in our “Game Previews” that SF had an opportunity this week to get their passing game going and that they did. Jimmy Garoppolo threw for 317 yards and 4 TDs while mostly targeting Emmanuel Sanders(9) and George Kittle(8). Kittle was dealing with a knee issue from the beginning of the game so became limited towards the end. Matt Breida took over majority of the carries this week with 15 for 78 yards while Tevin Coleman only put up 23 yards on 12 carries. It will be something to keep an eye on going forward as everyone thought Coleman would be a RB1 after his Week 8 performance.

PPR Fantasy Point Leaders:

Jimmy Garoppolo – 28.9

Kenyan Drake – 28.2

Emmanuel Sanders – 24.2

Kyler Murray – 23

George Kittle – 19.9

HOU Texans 26 – 3 JAX Jaguars

This was supposed to be a back and forth shoot out in London with plenty fantasy opportunities for all players involved. Instead only one side reaped the benefits as the Jaguars returned back to their usual selves. The game was pretty slow in the first half as the score was 9-3 going into halftime, and then Deshaun Watson and the Texans took over in the second half. Watson finished the day with 2 TDs and 201 yards without any eye issues this week. One of his new favorite end zone targets, Darren Fells, managed to get another TD this week but that was his only reception the whole game. DeAndre Hopkins is back and has made sure his role as the WR1 on the team is established with 11 targets on the day. Hopkins caught 8 of those 11 for 48 yards and 1 TD while Kenny Stills took over Will Fuller’s role again and managed to catch all 4 of his targets for 52 yards. Carlos Hyde continues to show his dominance in this backfield and put up season high 160 yards on 19 attempts. However, him being unable to get into the end zone and losing a fumble cost him a big day regarding fantasy points. Duke Johnson actually benefited from a TD trucking over a Jacksonville defender and continues to be a PPR weapon with 5 receptions for 68 yards. Gardner Minshew was a big disappointment and might have gave Nick Foles his job back after the bye week. While Minshew did have 309 yards on the day, a lot were added on in garbage time and he had 0 TDs, 2 interceptions and 2 fumbles(1 wasn’t reviewed on the last play of the game). Leonard Fournette had a season low 11 attempts on the ground only putting up 40 yards as the Jags fell behind and couldn’t get anything going on the ground. Minshew did mainly target D.J. Chark and Chris Conley with 16 targets combined but they were only able to haul in 6 total for 64 yards.

Deshaun Watson – 19.7

DeAndre Hopkins – 19.4

Duke Johnson – 19.1

Carlos Hyde – 14

WSH Redskins 9 – 24 BUF Bills

The Bills continue their journey to come out on top of the AFC East with a 6-2 record after beating the now 1-8 Redskins. Dwayne Haskins made his first start in the NFL and had a very uneventful day. Haskins completed 15 of his 22 passes but only put up 144 yards as WSH focused on running the ball more. Adrian Peterson put up his second 100+ yard rush game of the season with 108 yards on 18 carries. Everyone’s favorite rookie, Terry McLaurin, has come back to Earth a bit these past couple of weeks and that might be the story going forward with Haskins as QB. McLaurin caught 4 of his 6 targets for 39 yards while Paul Richardson caught 4 of his 5 for 42 yards. Devin Singletary had his breakout game of the season as he out carried Frank Gore 20 to 11. On those 20 carries, Singletary put up 95 yards and 1 TD while catching another 3 passes for 45 yards. John Brown continued his streak of having 50+ receiving yards in every game this season catching 4 of his 7 targets for 76 yards and could’ve had a TD if Josh Allen didn’t throw a pass behind Brown. Allen finished the day with 160 yards and 1 TD, to Cole Beasly, and rushed for another TD.

TEN Titans 20 – 30 CAR Panthers

The Panthers bounced back from their embarrassing Week 8 loss against the 49ers and took over this game early putting up 17 points before halftime. Christian McCaffrey continues to be a fantasy MVP as he rushed for 146 yards, 2 TDs and 1 receiving TD against one of the leagues best run defenses. Kyle Allen fixed his turnover problem from last week a bit as he only had 1 interception along with 2 TDs and 232 yards. Curtis Samuel was the recipient of the other TD from Allen but it was D.J. Moore who put up the big day catching 7 of his 10 targets for 101 yards and almost had a TD making a great catch just outside the end zone. The Panthers also picked up Donte Moncrief of off waivers on Monday so should be interesting to see what happens with Jarius Wright who didn’t catch any of his 4 targets this week. The Titans had to play catch up all game which didn’t allow them to run the ball much as Derrick Henry had a season low of 13 attempts. Henry did manage to put up 63 yards on those 13 attempts though and also scored 2 TDs, 1 rush and 1 receiving. Ryan Tannehill did put up a season high of 331 yards but his turnover issues continue as he threw 2 more interceptions along with just 1 passing TD this week and 1 rushing TD. A.J. Brown was his most targeted receiver, catching 4 of his 7 for 81 yards, while Corey Davis had a quieter day catching 4 of his 5 targets for 48 yards. Jonnu Smith was a disappointment with Delanie Walker out and caught 3 of his 5 targets for 18 yards.

MIN Vikings 23 – 26 KC Chiefs

This was one of the best games of the week as it was back and forth between 2 solid offenses and came down to a game winning field goal. I’m sure everyone expected a better day from Dalvin Cook against a bottom 5 ranked run defense but Cook owners can’t complain much because of the year he’s having. Cook did run for 71 yards on 21 attempts while catching another 4 passes for 45 yards but couldn’t find the end zone this week. Alexander Mattison’s value continues to drop with Cook staying healthy and getting pretty much all of the work in the backfield. Ameer Abdullah came in this week and scored a receiving TD hurting Mattison’s value even more going forward this season. Adam Thielen was cleared to play this week but quickly realized he wasn’t ready, sitting out of the whole game basically. With Thielen out, Stefon Diggs would normally be the next man up but he only had 1 reception for 4 yards and the KC secondary locked down on him. Kirk Cousins spread the ball out between other WRs and RBs and managed to put up 3 TDs and 220 yards. Kyle Rudolph, Abdullah and Bisi Johnson were the recipients of those TDs. Matt Moore got his first win as a starter this season while filling in for Patrick Mahomes and had a decent day throwing for 275 yards and 1 TD. Half of those yards went to Tyreek Hill who caught 6 of his 8 targets for 140 yards and 1 TD. Sammy Watkins and Travis Kelce combined for 19 targets of which they caught 14 total for 125 basically splitting that stat line down the middle. Damien Williams took over the KC backfield and looks like he’s here to stay going forward. Williams had 12 carries for 125 yards and 1 TD with most of those yards coming from a 91 yard run. The hero of the day, Harrison Butker, scored the game winning FG and put up 4 total on the day with a 54 yarder being his longest.

Tyreek Hill – 26.5

Kirk Cousins – 21.3

Damien Williams – 20.8

Harrison Butker – 18

NY Jets 18 – 26 MIA Dolphins

The Dolphins finally won a game and won’t complete the perfect 0-16 season! The Bengals are the only winless team left but the Jets are definitely one of the top candidates for the worst team out there. Ryan Fitzpatrick had his best game of the season throwing for 288 yards and 3 TDs. 2 of those TDs went to Preston Williams who caught 5 of his 9 targets for 72 yards as well. Williams went down late during the game with a knee injury and is out for the remainder of the season based on his MRIs on Monday leaving DeVante Parker as the WR1 for now. Parker also had a nice game receiving the 3rd TD from Fitzpatrick and catching 4 of his 6 targets for 57 yards. Mike Gesicki finally had the game we were looking from him a couple weeks ago as he caught all 6 of his targets for 95 yards and should be a solid TE pickup going forward with Williams going down. Mark Walton split work with Kalen Ballage in the backfield with both backs combining for 19 carries and 48 yards. Walton has been suspended on Monday for 4 games for violating the NFL’s conduct and substance abuse policy, leaving Ballage as the lead back all of a sudden with Kenyan Drake gone as well. Sam Darnold threw the ball 39 times but only completed 27 of those attempts for 260 yards, 1 TD and 1 interception. Jamison Crowder lead WRs in targets with 9 and caught 8 of them for 83 yards and 1 TD with most of those yards coming in the first quarter alone. With Chris Herndon out again, Ryan Griffin stepped in and caught 6 of his 8 targets for 50 yards and had a TD called back due to it not being a catch even though it certainly seemed like it was. Le’Veon Bell didn’t get much going on the ground only rushing for 66 yards on 17 attempts but got involved in the passing game with 8 receptions for 55 yards.

Preston Williams – 24.2

Ryan Fitzpatrick – 23.7

Jamison Crowder – 22.3

Le’Veon Bell – 20.1

CHI Bears 14 – 22 PHI Eagles

This was a rematch of one of last years’ playoff games but it certainly felt different. The Bears are a completely different team than they were last year with their offense coming to a standstill and their defense regressing every week. In the first half, Chicago punted the ball 6 times and had 9 yards of total offense going into half time. Mitchell Trubisky put up a whopping 125 yards with 83 of those yards coming from 2 big plays. Nagy was quick to abandon the run game again in the first half but realized they need to give the ball to David Montgomery if they want to score. Montgomery only had 14 carries for 40 yards but had 2 TDs and also got involved in the passing game with 3 receptions for 36 yards. Taylor Gabriel was Chicago’s leading WR with 3 receptions for 69 yards but 53 of those yards coming from 1 play. CHI D/ST didn’t manage to record any turnovers but did sack Carson Wentz 4 times. Wentz had a pretty average day against a tougher secondary and threw for 239 yards and 1 TD. That TD was to Zach Ertz who came back from the dead and took over as the lead receiver catching 9 of his 11 targets for 103 yards and 1 TD. DeSean Jackson returned this week but left the game early with a core injury and is expected to miss the remainder of the season. Jordan Howard lead the backfield once again with 19 carries for 82 yards and 1 TD while Miles Sanders did get an increased workload on the ground with 10 carries for 42 yards and continued his 3 receptions per game streak adding another 31 yards in the passing game.

Zach Ertz – 25.3

David Montgomery – 22.6

Jordan Howard – 15.3

Carson Wentz – 15.1

IND Colts 24 – 26 PIT Steelers

The Colts lose another close one due to a missed FG by Adam Vinatieri while the Steelers are in the AFC wild card race all of a sudden after winning their 3rd straight game. Jacoby Brissett went down early with a strained MCL so backup QB Brian Hoyer had to step in and he didn’t do too bad. Hoyer threw for just 168 yards but had 3 TDs and also threw 1 interception. Marlon Mack got his usual workload even with Brissett down and rushed for 89 yards on 21 carries with no goal line opportunities. With T.Y. Hilton out for a couple weeks, Zach Pascal made the best of his opportunity and caught 5 of his 6 targets for 76 yards and 1 TD. Parris Campbell also caught all 5 of his targets for 53 yards but is expected to miss time now with a hand fracture. We’ll have to see if TEs Jack Doyle and Eric Ebron get more involved now with Campbell out or if another WR like Chester Rogers steps up. Either way it will be an interesting couple of weeks for Colts players as Mack will be the only safe start. PIT got it done without their starting QB and RB with their defense winning them the game. Mason Rudolph threw for 191 yards, 1 TD and 1 interception with that 1 TD going to Vance McDonald. Jaylen Samuels was more involved in the passing game than in the running game with 13 receptions for 73 yards. Trey Edmunds was the lead rusher for the Steelers and put up a solid 73 yards on just 12 carries and would be someone to watch going forward based on James Conner’s status. JuJu Smith-Shuster had a quiet game with only 3 receptions for 16 yards as he wasn’t able to pull in 2 deep passes on their first drive. Minkah Fitzpatrick continues to make a difference for PIT D/ST with a 96 yard interception that he ran in for a TD.

DET Lions 24 – 31 OAK Raiders

This game was exactly what we expected with back and forth action and plenty of TDs to go around. The Raiders did manage to hold on against Matthew Stafford and the Lions, stopping Detroit on a 4th and Goal on their own 1 yard line. Stafford had another great game and put up his most yards this year with 406 and added 3 TDs along with an interception and fumble. With Stafford throwing 41 times, Detroit didn’t run the ball much as Ty Johnson got the most work with 9 carries for just 29 yards. J.D. McKissic put up 32 yards on 4 carries and also had 3 receptions for 40 yards and 1 TD so we can expect him to possibly take over that backfield going forward. The WR duo of Kenny Golladay and Marvin Jones Jr. went off as expected with Golladay putting up 132 yards and 1 TD on just 4 receptions and Jones Jr. putting up 126 yards and 1 TD on 8 receptions. T.J. Hockenson was the next most targeted receiver on the team with 7 but only caught 3 of them for 56 yards. Derek Carr also continued his multiple TDs per game streak with 2 this week along with 289 yards. Carr spread the ball all over the field and it was Hunter Renfrow who came out on top with 6 receptions for 54 yards and 1 TD. Darren Waller was only targeted twice and caught both of those for 52 yards while Tyrell Williams didn’t manage to get into the end zone for the first time this year. Rookie RB Josh Jacobs continues to impress with his 3rd 100+ yard game this season and 2 TDs to top it all off. With a favorable RB schedule for the rest of the year, Jacobs could easily continue this rookie of the year campaign.

Matthew Stafford – 24.8

Josh Jacobs – 24

Kenny Golladay – 23.2

Derek Carr – 19.6

TB Buccaneers 34 – 40 SEA Seahawks

Another game that lived up to the hype! 74 total points with back and forth action all game. A dream for fantasy players. The Seahawks managed to come out on top after being down 21-7 at one point in the second quarter. Russell Wilson lead the comeback and managed to put up a season high 5 TDs along with 378 yards. Chris Carson also managed to put up 105 yards on one of the leagues best run defenses but fumbled the ball twice losing one and couldn’t get into the end zone. Let’s hope it’s not another situation we had in the beginning of the year with Rashaad Penny taking over some of Carson’s workload due to fumbling issues. Tyler Lockett put up his third 100+ yard game of the season with 152 yards on a whopping 13 receptions from 18 targets. Lockett also put up 2 TDs along with that stat line and cemented his role on this team with Josh Gordon coming into the mix. D.K. Metcalf had his best game of the season with 6 receptions for 123 yards and 1 TD and we’ll see how Gordon affects DK’s role if he does at all. Jameis Winston managed not to throw an interception this week but did lose a fumble. Winston also threw for 335 yards and 2 TDs with one going to Mike Evans and the other to Breshad Perriman. Evans had a season high 12 receptions for 180 yards along with his TD while Perriman had 4 receptions for 42 yards. Chris Godwin didn’t manage to get into the end zone but had 7 receptions on 9 targets for 61 yards so his opportunities will come. Speaking of opportunities, Arians announced that Ronald Jones is the starting RB now for the Bucs and Jones had a solid performance rushing for 67 yards and 1 TD while Dare Ogunbowale took away the other rushing TD on the board. TB has a nice schedule coming up for RBs besides for Week 11 against New Orleans so Jones can be a nice add if he’s on the waivers.

CLE Browns 19 – 24 DEN Broncos

The Browns continue their losing ways and now 2-6 and probably more of a disappointment than their AFC North rivals, the 0-8 Bengals. Baker Mayfield put up 273 yards and 1 TD with a 64% completion rate throwing the ball 42 times. Nick Chubb still got his usual workload of 20 carries but only managed 65 yards on the ground against one of the better run defenses and hauled in another 4 receptions for 26 yards. Jarvis Landry was the recipient of Baker’s only TD along with 51 yards on 6 receptions while a frustrated Odell Beckham caught 5 of his 6 targets for 87 yards. OBJ was heard saying “I can’t get the ball to save my life” after the Browns failed to convert a 4th down which lost them the game. Obviously not the best sign for a team but could be a good sign for fantasy owners if Mayfield starts to target OBJ more now. Brandon Allen made his start for the Broncos with Joe Flacco out for the season and put up a decent performance of 193 yards and 2 TDs. Noah Fant was the recipient of one of those TDs and put up 115 yards on 3 receptions with 75 yards coming from that 1 big TD catch. Courtland Sutton caught Allen’s other TD along with 5 receptions for 56 yards. Brandon Allen could be an improvement from Joe Flacco but it has been only 1 game and it was against the Browns so it’s too soon to tell. Phillip Lindsay took over the backfield this week for Denver with just 9 carries but put up 92 yards and 1 TD.

GB Packers 11 – 26 LA Chargers

We definitely didn’t see this one coming as the now 7-2 Packers dropped a game to the 4-5 Chargers. Seems like GB’s offense just fell apart as they couldn’t get anything going punting the ball 5 times and only scoring on 1 TD and 1 field goal. Aaron Rodgers had his worst game of the season, and maybe one of the worsts in his career, as he only threw for 161 yards and 1 TD. The run game was non-existent with Aaron Jones only getting 8 carries for 30 yards while Jamaal Williams got 2 for 10 yards. Williams was able to pull in a receiving TD though which saved his day a bit along with 6 receptions for 39 yards. Davante Adams returned from a toe injury and was definitely targeted with 11 on the day, catching 7 of them for only 41 yards. Allen Lazard was the leader in receiving yards for GB and might have a role going forward even with Adams back. The Chargers finally got Melvin Gordon going with a great opportunity against a bottom 5 ranked run defense. Gordon had the bulk of the carries with 20 and ran for 80 yards and 2 TDs along with 3 receptions for 29 yards. Austin Ekeler still had 12 carries for 70 yards and 4 receptions for 23 yards but we will have to see if LA starts to utilize Gordon more moving forward or if they keep this 70/30 split with Ekeler getting utilized more in the passing game. Mike Williams had his best game all season with 111 yards on just 3 receptions and Keenan Allen seems to never want to come back to being fantasy relevant again. Hunter Henry continued his TE consistency already being ranked the TE9 on the season since coming back with 84 yards on 7 receptions and being Philip Rivers’ favorite target. With both of the Chargers’ TDs being on the ground, Rivers had a quite day in terms of fantasy points with 294 yards.

PPR Fantasy Point Leaders:

Melvin Gordon – 25.9

Jamaal Williams – 16.9

Hunter Henry – 15.4

Aaron Rodgers – 12.9

Davante Adams – 11.1

NE Patriots 20 – 37 BAL Ravens

Well I guess we found out what happens when NE actually plays a good team this season. The Patriots seemed to have no answer for Lamar Jackson who is match up proof going forward. Jackson didn’t do a whole lot through the air as usual only throwing for 163 yards and 1 TD but added 63 yards on the ground with another 2 TDs. Mark Ingram also had a day putting up his most yards this season with 115 but couldn’t manage to get into the end zone as Gus Edwards got that opportunity instead. Marquise Brown returned from an ankle injury and managed to pull in 3 passes for 48 yards which lead the team. BAL D/ST also managed to intercept Tom Brady once and caused Julian Edelman to fumble which Marlon Humphrey recovered for a TD. Brady had a average day throwing for 285 yards but only 1 TD which was to Mohamed Sanu. Sanu recorded his first TD as a Patriot and was very involved in the game with 10 receptions for 81 yards. Edelman also had a solid showing with 10 receptions for 89 yards but him losing that fumble basically shifted all the momentum to the Ravens to help them close out the game. Sony Michel seemed to be scripted out of the game plan only getting 4 carries with Rex Burkhead back. James White actually lead in carries with 9 for 38 yards and 1 TD so the NE backfield roulette seems to have returned. NE D/ST had their worst game of the season allowing 31 points and showed everyone that they’re not match up proof. With a couple of the better offenses coming up, it’s not a bad idea to look at other options for Pats D owners.

Lamar Jackson – 28.6

Mohamed Sanu – 24.1

Julian Edelman – 16.9

James White – 16.4

DAL Cowboys 37 – 18 NY Giants

The Giants got off to another hot start in the first half before the Cowboys put in their game MVP, the black cat, during the 2nd quarter who changed things around for them. Dak Prescott got his first pass of the game intercepted which set up a NY field goal but managed to bounce back at the end of the day with 3 TDs and 257 yards. Ezekiel Elliot got his usual 20+ carries and ran for 139 yards but couldn’t get into the end zone to really put up a nice day for fantasy owners. Amari Cooper only had 4 receptions but made them count as he put up 80 yards and 1 TD while also missing some of the game with a knee issue. Jason Witten was actually Dak’s most targeted receiver and caught 8 of his 9 targets for 58 yards but it was the other TE, Blake Jarwin, who was able to get into the end zone with his only catch being a 42 yard TD catch. Daniel Jones and the Giants offense looked good once again to start the game but slowly fell apart. Jones threw for 210 yards, 1 TD and led the team in rushing with 54 yards but threw 1 interception and lost 2 fumbles from being too aggressive on the ground. Saquon Barkley couldn’t get much going against the Dallas run defense as he only put up 28 yards on the ground, his lowest all season besides his injury game in Week 3. Barkley did manage to pull in 6 passes for 67 yards though with 1 of those catches going for 65 yards. NY is having trouble getting into the end zone and should be using Barkley in goal line situations more as he only has 3 TDs total this season. Evan Engram lead the receivers in yards with 48 by catching 6 of his 8 targets while Golden Tate caught all 6 of his targets for 42 yards and made an amazing one-handed grab just outside the end zone.

PPR Fantasy Point Leaders:

Dak Prescott – 21.5

Amari Cooper – 18

Saquon Barkley – 15.5

Ezekiel Elliott – 13.9

Golden Tate – 11.8
