While all of the Bengals goals began the ground, a lot of their backyards came in the air on passes to broad receivers. All three of their beginners had eight or more targets, but Higgins had the most lawns– he caught six of eight for 125 yards, with over half of that coming from a 67-yard play. The Colts had actually been among the finest groups at preventing fantasy indicate large receivers, which makes efficiencies by Higgins and A.J. Green (96 lawns on 8 catches) even more outstanding.
Winner: RB DAndre Swift, Detroit Lions.
He never had more than 60 yards in those games. With Golladay back, his playing time hasnt altered, but his lawns and catches have declined. For the 2nd straight week he was held to single-digit yards.
Cincinnati Bengals at Indianapolis Colts.
The Lions backfield has actually continued to develop. Today Swift and Adrian Peterson divided playing time on first and second downs, while Kerryon Johnson had most of the third-down snaps while still taking a few of the first and second downs. Because the Lions were winning all video game, they had the ability to run more than pass. Swift made the most of his carries, gaining 116 backyards on 14 carries and two touchdowns. He captured the a lot of passes (3) among the Lions backs however for the fewest yards (7 ). While this video game definitely looked promising for Swift, things could quickly change once again next week..
This post will be upgraded as late games conclude..
Injury: RB Joe Mixon, Cincinnati Bengals.
Week 6 provided us a little bit of whatever. Derrick Henry had the biggest rushing efficiency of the season, and rookie large receivers continued to control. There were lots of gamers injured entering the week with questions about how their replacements would be used. There were likewise plenty of injuries to fantasy-relevant gamers on Sunday.
Cole has been among the top two pass receivers for the Jaguars in regards to snaps all season, and it has actually led to quite constant play. Hes had at least 5 targets in every game and a goal in three of the first five video games. While he didnt capture a touchdown today, he did capture six of nine passes for an outstanding 143 backyards. Part of his production involved video game script, but its a script that Jacksonville will see the majority of the season. He might not be the highest advantage pass receiver on the waiver wire, but his floor every week is greater than a lot of pass receivers available with some advantage.
Winner: WR Tee Higgins, Cincinnati Bengals.
Detroit Lions at Jacksonville Jaguars.
Waiver Wire Target: TE Trey Burton, Indianapolis Colts.
Winner: WR Justin Jefferson, Minnesota Vikings.
Mixon missed out on the bulk of the second quarter due to a foot injury but returned to action for the rest of the video game. In the fourth quarter when the Bengals were mainly passing, Giovani Bernard likewise saw significant playing time which would have likely took place regardless of the injury.
Loser: WR Marvin Jones Jr., Detroit Lions.
As constantly, this collection of fantasy reactions will consist of snap counts for skill players on each group, in addition to notes on gamers who saw their dream stocks increase or fall throughout the action– and how we must react to anything brand-new.
This led Burton to capture 4 passes for 58 lawns. That was the second-most receiving backyards for a Colts player in the video game. We shouldnt expect too lots of more hurrying goals this season, however he must remain the teams top receiving tight end in an offense that likes tossing touchdowns to tight ends.
Waiver Wire Target: WR Keelan Cole, Jacksonville Jaguars.
Atlanta Falcons at Minnesota Vikings.
2 large receivers in this game had double digit targets, over 100 backyards and 2 goals each. Julio Jones scored the very first touchdown of the game and caught 8 passes for 137 backyards. Jefferson caught the last touchdown of the game and had one more catch for 29 more lawns than Jones.
Winner: WR Travis Fulgham, Philadelphia Eagles.
Curtis Samuel was one of the biggest names at pass receiver non-active for the week. It was primarily Kirkwood who took over for Samuel in the slot. It just caused a one catch for 13 backyards. With how well Moore and Robby Anderson have actually been playing this season and how much the running back is featured, its not likely there will be another fantasy-relevant receiver from this group this season.
Injury Replacement: RB Phillip Lindsay, Denver Broncos.
Patrick has actually been the Broncos leading receiver in snaps and targets and today had his second straight 100-yard video game. While it would have been good to get a goal, he did score goals in each of his previous two games.
Injury: TE Zach Ertz, Philadelphia Eagles.
Loser: RB Antonio Gibson, Washington Football Team.
Winner: WR Breshad Perriman, New York Jets.
Injury Replacement: TE Darren Fells, Houston Texans.
Claypool didnt go berserk like last week however still ended up with four catches for 74 lawns as well as a hurrying touchdown. What was most interesting about Claypools performance is that the Steelers utilized 22 workers more than usual this week. Theyve utilized some form of 22 personnel 24 times this season, consisting of 8 today. Claypool had actually been the sole large receiver in all 24 of those snaps. Thats why he had a huge lead in snaps compared to the other broad receivers. Outside of those snaps, James Washington and JuJu Smith-Schuster were on the field just as much as Claypool, and Washington received more targets. Once Diontae Johnson is healthy, Claypool could go from very first to fourth in terms of large receiver snaps.
Gronkowski ended up leading the group in targets, capturing five passes for 78 yards and a touchdown. Chris Godwin returned from injury and also had five catches– he must have more as soon as he gets more work in with Brady.
Injury Replacement: WR Keith Kirkwood, Carolina Panthers.
This was the second video game where the Browns were without Nick Chubb. For most of the game, the running back usage was similar to last week, with Hunt seeing just over two-thirds of the snaps. In the 4th quarter when the game was out of reach, Dontrell Hilliard started seeing playing time after not playing in the first three quarters.
Beckham needs to have seen numerous targets with the Browns tracking all day however ended up being thrown at simply 4 times– his least targets in a video game this season. He just handled two catches for 25 backyards. In future weeks his target share need to rebound.
New York Jets at Miami Dolphins.
Parker left the fourth quarter with a groin injury. Before leaving, he had more than double the targets of anyone else on the team, however it just resulted in three catches for 35 yards. If Parker were to miss at any time, it would push Preston Williams back into the function of the leading broad receiver on the group. Today Williams caught two passes for 18 lawns and a goal.
Waiver Wire Target: RB LaMical Perine, New York Jets.
Loser: WR Odell Beckham Jr., Cleveland Browns.
Injury: WR DeVante Parker, Miami Dolphins.
Loser: RB Damien Harris, New England Patriots.
Loser: RB Cordarrelle Patterson, Chicago Bears.
This is a video game the Patriots were anticipated to win and Harris was expected to see a lot more snaps, particularly late in the game. Its bad enough in a two-man backfield when the video game script doesnt go your way– even worse where there are 3 RBs in play.
Waiver Wire Target: WR Tim Patrick, Denver Broncos.
The Bears fell behind and then used David Montgomery the rest of the game. This week, the Bears got a lead right away and kept it for the rest of the video game. Montgomery balanced just over 3 lawns per carry, however the Bears stuck with him the entire video game without offering Patterson much of an opportunity.
Loser: RB Alexander Mattison, Minnesota Vikings.
Cleveland Browns at Pittsburgh Steelers.
The Texans normal getting tight end Jordan Akins has actually missed time with injury, leading to Fells taking over. Fells had 6 catches for 85 backyards and a touchdown today.
Injury: WR C.J. Board, New York Giants.
For many of the game, Gibson and J.D. McKissic played essentially the exact same amount. Late in the video game, McKissic was in for the hurry-up offense. McKissic also put up more numbers in the pass game.
Winner: WR Chase Claypool, Pittsburgh Steelers.
Winner: TE Logan Thomas, Washington Football Team.
Mattison had top-10 fantasy possible entering into the video game with Dalvin Cook out with injury. He had three issues, which led to really minimal fantasy production. One is he didnt make the most out of his chances. He had one 16-yard run and then 14 backyards on his other 10 touches. Second is that the team saw Ameer Abdullah as their clear passing-situation back. He received almost all of the third-down snaps and played late in the video game when Minnesota was passing to capture up. Finally, the game script was such that the Vikings stopped running early since of how rapidly they fell behind. If Cook were to miss more time, I would expect Mattison to play much better, but future Vikings video games might quickly have comparable game scripts which would restrict Mattisons opportunities.
This was the first video game of the season the Jets were without both LeVeon Bell and Kalen Ballage.The Jets used Frank Gore mostly on very first and 2nd downs with Perine likewise seeing significant deal with early downs. Perine also played in almost all of the third downs. With the Jets anticipated to be routing typically moving forward, Perine will remain in position to see the bulk of snaps. It can be anticipated that Perine will slowly take more of the early-down work from Gore also. The Jets have one of the most beneficial schedules for backs moving forward, so Perine needs to have some opportunities for excellent video games.
Injury: RB Mark Ingram II, Baltimore Ravens.
Ertz left in the 4th quarter with a foot injury. He had 10 targets before leaving, which tied Fulgham for the team lead, but managed just 4 catches for 33 yards. Ertzs lack of production in spite of seeing a lot of targets stays one of the most surprising twists of the dream season. As soon as Ertz left, Richard Rodgers took over as the main tight end. Rodgers was currently playing in all of the Eagles two-tight-end sets. He captured the 3 passes tossed his method for 31 lawns. If Ertz misses out on time, Rodgers would deserve selecting up in leagues that either begin numerous tight ends or increase the scoring for tight ends. In most standard leagues, there are probably better totally free representative options.
Winner: WR D.J. Moore, Carolina Panthers.
In Week 2, he caught another two passes for 12 lawns before missing the rest of the video game and the following weeks due to injury. Perriman returned to the lineup this week and had his best video game of the season.
Houston Texans at Tennessee Titans.
Gandy-Golden left the game early in the first quarter with a hamstring injury. He has usually had the fourth-most snaps among the Washington pass receivers, but his playing time had actually been trending up. In the first drive today, he saw the third-most snaps over Dontrelle Inman. With Gandy-Golden out, Washington rotated at wide receiver less than typical, resulting primarily in Inman receiving more playing time.
Injury: WR Calvin Ridley, Atlanta Falcons.
Ingram left the video game in the second quarter with an ankle injury. Before leaving he ran five times for 20 yards. In the second half, Gus Edwards played in over 70% of the very first- and second-down snaps, while J.K. Dobbins played in over 80% of the third-down snaps. Edwards would be the player to select up as he would see the majority of the carries if Ingram misses time. He ran 14 times for an unimpressive 26 yards but a minimum of had a touchdown. Opportunities are he would wind up with the most lawns among the two in a normal game where the Ravens have a lead.
Injury: WR Antonio Gandy-Golden, Washington Football Team.
Ridley missed out on a bit of time in the third quarter due to cramps. He rapidly returned to the video game. He captured six of seven passes thrown his method for 61 yards and a goal. While it wasnt his best video game and he was overshadowed by Jones, it was still a good game out of Ridley. I would not expect this to be a problem in the future.
Hes had at least five targets in every video game and a touchdown in three of the first 5 games. Jefferson caught the last touchdown of the video game and had one more catch for 29 more lawns than Jones. If Cook were to miss more time, I would expect Mattison to play much better, but future Vikings video games might quickly have similar video game scripts which would restrict Mattisons opportunities.
Smith left the video game in the 3rd quarter with a left ankle injury. Firkser ended up with a career video game, capturing 8 of 9 passes thrown his method for 113 lawns and a goal.
Winner: RB Ronald Jones, Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
When the winning group has no goals and the kicker makes 6 basket, the kicker is the winner. Kickers are individuals, too.
Sanders left the video game in the 3rd quarter with a knee injury and didnt return. Prior to leaving, he handled 118 hurrying yards in big part thanks to a 74-yard bring. In the first half, Sanders was playing an impressive 26 of a possible 29 snaps. In the second half after Sanders left, Boston Scott played 33 snaps to 7 by Corey Clement. It didnt cause numerous touches for either player as the Eagles were passing to catch up. Scott would be the gamer to own if Sanders were to miss out on any time. He would get a lot more touches with Sanders out.
With Melvin Gordon III missing this video game, Lindsay was pushed to the top running back area on the depth chart. Comparable to last year, Lindsay saw the majority of snaps and was the main rush while Royce Freeman was the primary back on clear death plays. The Broncos trusted Lindsay with 23 brings, resulting in a 101-yard performance although no goals. This trend would likely continue if Gordon misses any more games. Once Gordon returns, it would not be surprising if Lindsay plays more than he had been.
Baltimore Ravens at Philadelphia Eagles.
Green Bay Packers at Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
He captured one of three passes thrown his way for 8 lawns before the injury. The undrafted rookie from Ohio State was activated off the practice squad earlier in the week and saw his first NFL action in this video game. He captured the only pass his way for 1 backyard.
Offer High: TE Rob Gronkowski, Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Leonard Fournette was doubtful entering into the video game however wound up being non-active. This gave Jones another opportunity to see the vast bulk of brings. He benefited from the scenario with 113 backyards and 2 touchdowns on 23 carries. As usual, he was limited in the pass game, catching just 2 passes for eight yards. With how well Jones has been playing as a runner, it would not be surprising if Fournette has simply a small role when hes back.
While it wasnt his best game and he was eclipsed by Jones, it was still a good video game out of Ridley. In Week 2, he caught another 2 passes for 12 yards before missing the rest of the video game and the following weeks due to injury.
Winner: K Brandon McManus, Denver Broncos.
Washington Football Team at New York Giants.
Winner: RB Derrick Henry, Tennessee Titans.
In this game, everyone was a winner for fantasy functions. Both quarterbacks tossed for 4 touchdowns. All 5 beginning ability gamers for the Texans scored a goal, while the stars for the Titans scored two goals each. Henry was the big winner of this video game and probably for the entire week. He ran for 212 yards on 22 brings and had 52 receiving backyards on 2 catches. Normally these sort of video games originated from Henry in December, but this year it looks like Henry is beginning early.
He finished less than half of his passes for 10 backyards per completion and 2 interceptions. Aaron Jones also put up quite bad numbers, however at least had a goal to conserve his fantasy performance.
Injury: RB Miles Sanders, Philadelphia Eagles.
Injury Replacement: RB Kareem Hunt, Cleveland Browns.
Fulgham was among the most popular waiver wire targets this previous week. Those who placed him into their lineups today were happy. While the Eagles passing video game in basic had a hard time, Fulgham led the team in targets (10 ), receptions (6) and lawns (75 ). He likewise scored among the 2 Eagles getting goals. Things for Fulgham will begin to get intriguing next week as a few of the Eagles receivers are anticipated to return.
Injury: TE Jonnu Smith, Tennessee Titans.
Chicago Bears at Carolina Panthers.
Denver Broncos at New England Patriots.
Loser: QB Aaron Rodgers, Green Bay Packers.
Early on, he was seeing plenty of targets but they werent leading to touchdowns. In recent weeks, he hasnt seen as lots of targets but had 93 yards and a touchdown last week. He only captured five of them, but it led to a 2nd straight 93-yard performance.
In a low-scoring game with only 3 offending goals, Thomas gets the winner area by having more receptions and lawns than Darius Slayton and Cam Sims who scored the other touchdowns. Thomas captured 3 of 4 passes thrown his method for 42 lawns. Thomas stays the clear cut tight end for Washington in passing situations and is a borderline TE1 in the best matchups.
