Fantasy Football News

Texans WR Nico Collins scored his first TD since Week 4 in Sunday’s win over the Chargers. But he wasn’t a featured piece of the offense, drawing just a 12% target share.

Texans QB C.J. Stroud posted the second-best fantasy outing of his career in Sunday’s blowout win over the Chargers. That amounted to 384 yards, 5 TDs, and 1 INT on a 60.0% completion rate. Stroud added 20 rushing yards, his second-highest tally of the season.

Falcons RB Bijan Robinson rebounded from a recent cold streak to post 147 yards and 1 score vs. the Bengals. Robinson’s 26.7 PPR points marked his most since Week 4.

Cowboys RB Tyler Goodson is expected to miss time with the knee injury he suffered in the win over the Colts, COO Stephen Jones said Monday. It's a surprise after Goodson was able to return to yesterday's game. Jones said the team has its "fingers crossed" when it comes to Goodson's injury, so it sounds like they're still waiting on test results. We'll update his status when we know more. Goodson's absence will leave practice-squaders Israel Abanikanda and Jeshaun Corbin behind Javonte Williams, who could see even more work with Goodson out.

Chiefs HC Andy Reid labeled WR Xavier Worthy "day to day" with the hamstring injury he suffered late in Sunday's win over the Jets. It sounds like Worthy dodged a significant injury, but we still wouldn't bet on him playing vs. the Falcons this weekend. Skill-position players typically miss at least one game with even minor hamstring injuries.

Bengals WR Tee Higgins caught 2 TDs in Sunday's blowout win over Atlanta, giving him 5 scores over his past 3 games. The TDs salvaged an otherwise quiet outing, as Higgins managed just 32 receiving yards, his second-lowest total of the season.

Seahawks QB Sam Darnold (quad, rib) won't play vs. the Raiders this weekend, but QB Drew Lock is expected to be available, HC Mike Macdonald said Monday. Lock suffered an oblique injury in the Week 9 win over the Cardinals but tests came back "good," Macdonald said. We'll keep an eye on Lock this week, who was already dealing with a right elbow issue coming into yesterday's game. He'll only be in play in 2-QB and superflex leagues this week, despite the plus matchup against Vegas. But his availability is good news for WR Jaxon Smith-Njigba.

Chiefs HC Andy Reid on Monday called QB Patrick Mahomes "day to day" with the elbow injury that temporarily knocked him out of Sunday's win over the Jets.

Giants RB Cam Skattebo (hamstring) is expected to be "full go" for Thursday night's game vs. the Commanders, HC John Harbaugh said Monday. Skattebo was close to playing vs. the Eagles yesterday, but the team wanted to be careful with him, Harbaugh added. Skattebo's fantasy stock got a boost in Week 9 without even playing after RB Devin Singletary averaged a pathetic 1.5 yards per carry vs. the Eagles. Expect Skattebo to return as the clear lead back.

The Browns plan to start QB Deshaun Watson against the Texans on Sunday, ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reports. QB Shedeur Sanders made it a debate with a nice Week 9, throwing for 297 yards, 2 TDs, and 0 INTs on 9.6 yards per attempt in the overtime loss to the Saints. Watson has played well enough for most of the season, but Sanders' performance might make it easier for Cleveland to make a move if Watson's play regresses.

Lions RB Jahmyr Gibbs was held without a catch in Sunday's win over Miami. That's the first time that's happened since Week 4 of the 2024 season. Fortunately, Gibbs didn’t sink lineups with 74 rushing yards and a TD.

Giants QB J.J. McCarthy is expected to be ready for Thursday night's game vs. the Commanders, HC John Harbaugh said Monday. McCarthy briefly exited the Week 9 win over the Eagles with a hip injury but returned to finish out the game. McCarthy is “doing well," Harbaugh said, and it “does look like he’s going to play” against Washington. We'll keep tabs on McCarthy's status over the next few days. The hip injury might impact his mobility and rushing production, but McCarthy gets an excellent passing matchup vs. the Commanders' 30th-ranked QB defense. He's in play in 2-QB and superflex leagues.

Seahawks RB Zach Charbonnet carried 16 times for 77 yards in his second appearance of the season Sunday. that led No. 2 back Jadarian Price by seven carries, as Price ran nine times for just 24 yards. Price did beat Charbonnet 4-2 in targets and 4-1 in receptions, gaining 54 yards to lead the team in that category. But Charbonnet also ran four more pass routes than Price (14-10).

If you played Seahawks TE AJ Barner in Week 9, then he certainly rewarded you. Barner accounted for the only two TDs in Sunday's 17-3 win over the Cardinals, snagging a 7-yard scoring pass from Drew Lock after plunging in from a yard out early in the second quarter.

Dolphins QB Malik Willis mustered only 128 scoreless yards in Sunday's 10-point loss to the Lions. He tossed one INT and added only 7 yards on the ground.

Last time we saw QB Drew Lock starting for the Seahawks came in Week 2 at Arizona. He went 19-of-26 passing for 235 yards and 3 TDs in that contest. The rematch turned out quite different. Lock completed 19 of his 28 throws in Sunday's win over the Cardinals -- a solid 67.9% -- but amassed just 175 yards and 1 TD. That's 6.3 yards per attempt vs. the 9.0 of Week 2. The big difference? Lock found Jaxon Smith-Njigba for an 82-yard TD early in the first meeting. His long play in the rematch consumed just 18 yards. Lock found TE AJ Barner from 7 yards out for his only score.

Lions QB Jared Goff managed a season-low 7.3 fantasy points in Sunday's road win over Miami. Detroit failed to reach 21 points for the third straight week, while Goff posted season lows in passing yards (170) and TDs (0). He also tossed an INT for the second consecutive game.

QB Gardner Minshew followed his surprising comeback at Dallas with his first start for Arizona in Sunday's loss to the Seahawks. He didn't anything special but played competently for the most part. Minshew completed 21 of 30 passes (70%) for 166 yards (5.5 per attempt) with no TDs or INTs. He took three sacks and fumbled once, but the Cardinals recovered. Minshew added one run for 4 yards.

Cardinals RB Tyler Allgeier controlled the backfield in Sunday's loss to the Seahawks but didn't do much with all the work. He handled all 17 RB carries but gained only 46 yards (2.7 per rush). Allgeier also garnered 3 targets, ranking fourth on the team. He caught two of those for 0 yards (with a long gain of 3).

Cardinals WR Michael Wilson managed 6 catches for 60 yards among 7 targets in Sunday's loss to the Seahawks. That marks improvement over the first meeting. Wilson also drew 7 targets in that contest but caught only two of them.
