Mahomes scores four times


The scoring was pretty big in Week 6, seeing seven players top 30 fantasy points. The running back position had four of those players that topped 30 fantasy points. It is good to see that position putting up some game-changing performances. If you had one of those backs in your lineup for Week 6, you likely won your game. Hopefully, you were able to take advantage of some of these big fantasy performances this week.

Giants 34, Eagles 17

Fantasy Stud: Cam Skattebo. Skattebo had a monster game, finding the end zone three times. He ran 19 times for 98 yards and three touchdowns. He also had two catches for 12 yards, giving him 110 total yards in the game. Skattebo scored 31 fantasy points in the game. He has at least 13 fantasy points five straight games

Fantasy Dud: Saquon Barkley. Barkley had another disappointing performance. He ran 12 times for 58 yards and caught two passes for nine yards. This was his worst fantasy game of the season, scoring just 8.7 fantasy points. He has fewer than double-digit fantasy points two of four games. Barkley is yet to have more than 20 fantasy points in a game and has 60 or fewer rushing yards all but a game. He is not having near the season he had last year.

Game Notes: A.J. Brown was much more involved in the offense, catching six passes for 80 yards. This was his second-highest yardage total of the season.

Jaxson Dart had a solid showing, throwing for 195 yards and a touchdown without a turnover. He also ran 13 times for 58 yards and a touchdown. Dart scored a season-high 25.55 fantasy points.

Broncos 13, Jets 11

Fantasy Stud: Broncos defense. This game was not a good one for fantasy production. There was just one touchdown between both teams. But if you had either defense, you got some fantasy points. Denver was really impressive, holding the Jets to just 92 total yards of offense. Yes, you read that right. New York had fewer than 100 yards of offense. Denver also had nine sacks in the game. It was quite an impressive performance from the Broncos defense. They dominated the game

Fantasy Dud: Justin Fields. Fields has been an elite fantasy quarterback to start the season but that wasn’t the case in this game. Fields was 9-of-17 for just 45 yards and ran for 31 yards. Fields scored just 5.35 fantasy points. It was the first game he started and finished that he didn’t have at least 28 fantasy points. This was an alarming game for his fantasy owners.

Game Notes: Evan Engram led the Broncos in receiving, finishing with five receptions for 42 yards. Engram has a least four receptions three straight games.

Garrett Wilson had three receptions for 13 yards. Both were season-low totals for Wilson. He had at least 50 yards every game before this one.

Rams 17, Ravens 3

Fantasy Stud: Derrick Henry. There were few bright spots offensively in this one, but Henry had his best game since Week 1. He ran 24 times for 122 yards. Henry also caught a pass for eight yards. This was his second 100-yard game of the season. He scored 14 fantasy points

Fantasy Dud: Puka Nacua. Nacua did hurt his foot in this game and missed some time, but was able to return to the field. He had his worst showing of the season, though, catching two passes for just 28 yards. Nacua scored just 4.8 fantasy points. He had at least 22 fantasy points every game before this one.

Game Notes: Cooper Rush was pulled from the game. He was 11-of-19 for 72 yards and an interception. He also lost a fumble. Tyler Huntley replaced him and was 10-of-15 for 68 yards. Huntley ran three times for 39 yards.

Tyler Higbee had four receptions for 40 yards and a touchdown. This was his first touchdown of the season.

Chargers 29, Dolphins 27

Fantasy Stud: Devon Achane. Achane ran 16 times for 128 yards and two touchdowns. He had four receptions for 22 yards. Achane scored 31 fantasy points, topping 30 points for the first time this year. He has at least 16 fantasy points every game and been one of the best fantasy backs all season long

Fantasy Dud: Keenan Allen. Allen had a surprisingly quiet performance, especially since Quentin Johnston was out of the lineup for the Chargers. Despite that, Allen had four receptions for 27 yards. He scored a season-low 6.7 fantasy points. Allen has fewer than double-digit fantasy points two of three games.

Game Notes: Kimani Vidal was the lead back most of the game for the Chargers and had a great showing in that role, rushing 18 times for 124 yards. Hassan Haskins ran six times for just 14 yards.

Ladd McConkey had seven receptions for 100 yards and a touchdown. He has touchdowns two straight games.

Panthers 30, Cowboys 27

Fantasy Stud: Rico Dowdle. Dowdle got another start and had another huge game. He ran 30 times for 183 yards. He also caught four passes for 56 yards and a touchdown. Dowdle led the Panthers in rushing and receiving. He has more than 200-plus total yards two straight games. The Panthers are going to have a hard time keeping him out of the lineup - even when Chuba Hubbard is healthy. Dowdle is on some kind of role

Fantasy Dud: Javonte Williams. Williams got his touches but was held in check for once. He ran 13 times for just 29 yards and caught five passes for five yards. He had 18 total touches but just 8.4 fantasy points. It was his first game all season with fewer than 13 fantasy points.

Game Notes: Bryce Young had his second three-touchdown game of the season. He was 17-of-25 for 199 yards and three touchdowns with an interception.

George Pickens had nine receptions for 168 yards and a touchdown. He has touchdowns five straight games and 100-yard showings two of three.

Colts 31, Cardinals 27

Fantasy Stud: Trey McBride. McBride had another great game, catching eight passes for 72 yards and a touchdown. He had more than 20 fantasy points for the first time this season, scoring 21.2 fantasy points. McBride has double-digit targets two of three games. He has at least five receptions every game this year

Fantasy Dud: Michael Pittman. This looked like a good matchup for Pittman, but he wasn’t able to exploit it. He had two receptions for 20 yards. Pittman had touchdowns three straight games coming into this one. He had a season-low three targets. 

Game Notes: Marvin Harrison was knocked from this game with a possible concussion. He had two receptions for 32 yards before getting hurt.

Zonovan Knight started at running back for the Cardinals and led the team in rushing, running 11 times for 35 yards and a touchdown. Michael Carter had nine carries for 34 yards in a backup role. 

Seahawks 20, Jaguars 12

Fantasy Stud: Jaxon Smith-Njigba. Smith-Njigba continued his huge season, catching eight passes for 162 yards and a touchdown. He has 100-yard games four of six games. He also has at least 13 fantasy points every game. Smith-Njigba has clearly emerged as an elite fantasy receiver. The numbers don’t lie

Fantasy Dud: Travis Etienne. Etienne had his worst rushing game of the season, rushing 12 times for just 27 yards. He had just 9.5 fantasy points, failing to hit double-digit fantasy points two straight games. Etienne has cooled a little in recent weeks but still has a pretty firm grip on the starter’s job in Jacksonville right now.

Game Notes: Brian Thomas is getting on the same page with Trevor Lawrence. Thomas had eight receptions for 90 yards and a touchdown. Thomas has three straight games with double-digit fantasy points.

Kenneth Walker and Zach Charbonnet continue to split the work at running back for the Seahawks. Walker ran 10 times for 34 yards while Charbonnet had 12 carries for 24 yards.

Patriots 25, Saints 19

Fantasy Stud: Kayshon Boutte. Boutte led the way at receiver for the Patriots this week, finishing with five receptions for 93 yards and two touchdowns. This was his first game with more than 50 yards since the opener. Boutte had four straight with fewer than double-digit fantasy points until this 26.3 fantasy point performance

Fantasy Dud: Rhamondre Stevenson. Stevenson had an awful game, running 13 times for just 18 yards. He did not catch a pass in the game. The only positive for Stevenson is he did not fumble in the game. Stevenson had just 1.8 fantasy points and fewer than seven fantasy points three of four games. He is a very hard fantasy player to trust.

Game Notes: Drake Maye had his third three-touchdown performance. He was 18-of-26 for 261 yards and three touchdowns without a turnover.

Taysom Hill had just a touch in the game but it was a one-yard touchdown run. Hill made the most of his only opportunity.

Steelers 23, Browns 9

Fantasy Stud: DK Metcalf. Metcalf had four receptions for 95 yards and a touchdown. The Steelers might not throw much but when they do, Metcalf is heavily involved. He has touchdowns four straight games and at least 11 fantasy points every game. His consistency is a welcome sight for his fantasy owners

Fantasy Dud: Quinshon Judkins. The Steelers did a great job of limiting Judkins. He ran 12 times for 36 yards and didn’t catch a single pass. It was a really disappointing showing, especially since Judkins had two straight games with 100-plus total yards. He had just 3.6 fantasy points, breaking a streak of four straight with double-digit points.

Game Notes: Harold Fannin had seven receptions for 81 yards. Both totals were season highs for the rookie tight end.

Jaylen Warren returned from his knee injury and ran 11 times for 52 yards. He also caught two passes for 11 yards. It was his first game this year failing to reach double-digit fantasy points.

Raiders 20, Titans 10

Fantasy Stud: Michael Mayer. Mayer had a big game, getting a chance to start with Brock Bowers out of the lineup. Mayer had five receptions for 50 yards and a touchdown. Mayer had just six receptions all season before this showing As long as Bowers is sidelined, Mayer has value to fantasy teams as a starter in this offense

Fantasy Dud: Calvin Ridley. Just when you think you can start to trust Ridley once again, he has another disappointing performance. He had just a catch for 18 yards and left the game early with a hamstring injury. This comes after a game he finished with five receptions for 131 yards on 10 targets. He went the opposite direction, getting just one target in Week 6.

Game Notes: Ashton Jeanty scored a touchdown, giving him scores two of three games. Jeanty ran 23 times for 75 yards and a touchdown. He also had two catches for 11 yards, giving him 15-plus fantasy points three straight games.

Tre Tucker led the Raiders in receiving, finishing with five receptions for 70 yards. Tucker has 11-plus fantasy points four of six games this year.

Packers 27, Bengals 18

Fantasy Stud: Josh Jacobs. Jacobs had his second straight game with 30-plus fantasy points. He ran 18 times for 93 yards and two touchdowns. Jacobs also had five receptions for 57 yards. He has touchdowns four of five games and at least 12 fantasy points every game. Jacobs is having another big season as the lead back for the Packers

Fantasy Dud: Chase Brown. Brown averaged 4.7 yards per carry but still didn’t help fantasy teams. He ran nine times for 42 yards and caught two passes for seven yards. Brown scored just 8.9 fantasy points. He has fewer than double-digit fantasy points three of five games. Brown is one of the biggest busts in fantasy right now.

Game Notes: Joe Flacco gave the Bengals passing game a spark in his first start with the team. He was 29-of-45 for 219 yards and two touchdowns without a turnover.

Ja’Marr Chase reached double-digit receptions for the second time this year. He had 10 receptions for 94 yards and a touchdown on 12 targets.

Bucs 30, 49ers 19

Fantasy Stud: Christian McCaffrey. McCaffrey was held in check running the ball but that didn’t matter for his fantasy production. He found the end zone and racked up seven receptions. He ran 17 times for 54 yards and a touchdown. McCaffrey also had seven receptions for 57 yards on eight targets. He scored 24.1 fantasy points, giving him 22-plus fantasy points all six games this season

Fantasy Dud: Emeka Egbuka. The Bucs won and threw for some yards, but Egbuka was not a factor. He had just two receptions for 24 yards and had to leave the game early because of a hamstring injury. It was the worst fantasy game of his young career and the injury is a concern going forward. Egbuka failed to reach double-digit fantasy points for the first time, scoring just 4.4 points.

Game Notes: Kendrick Bourne had five receptions for 142 yards. He has two straight games with 142 yards.

Mac Jones was able to play with his injuries but had some struggles. He was 27-of-39 for 347 yards with two interceptions. He hit the 300-yard mark but didn’t score a touchdown for the first time this year.

Chiefs 30, Lions 17

Fantasy Stud: Patrick Mahomes. Mahomes is absolutely rolling right now. He had four total touchdowns. He was 22-of-30 for 257 yards and three touchdowns without a turnover. He also ran seven times for 34 yards and a touchdown. Mahomes scored 34.15 fantasy points, giving him three straight games with 30-plus fantasy points. And Mahomes gets his No. 1 receiver back from suspension next week. Watch out

Fantasy Dud: Jahmyr Gibbs. Gibbs had 17 carries for 65 yards and caught just a pass for no gain. It was not the type of game you expect from Gibbs. The Chiefs did a good job of preventing the big play from Gibbs and limiting his work in the passing game. It was a rare down game from the superstar back.

Game Notes: Marquise Brown had four receptions for 45 yards and two touchdowns. It was his first multiple-touchdown game of the season. He has scores two of his last three games.

Jameson Williams got it going after three straight poor games. He had six receptions for 66 yards and a touchdown on seven targets.

Starts, Sits, Sleepers: Week 11

Player Notes
Daniel Carlson Nov 15 6:10pm ET
Daniel Carlson

Las Vegas Raiders kicker Daniel Carlson hasn't been able to offer fantasy managers much value over the last few weeks. Over the last three games, Carlson is 1-for-2 on field goal attempts, while making 3-of-4 extra point attempts. The 30-year-old hasn't been great this season, but he also doesn't get a ton of chances. The promising news is that Carlson is heading into a favorable matchup in Week 11. The Raiders will face off against the Dallas Cowboys on Monday night. The Cowboys have struggled to contain anyone this season, so the Raiders should be able to get into scoring position. Carlson isn't an ideal fantasy option, but he should offer better value than he has the past few weeks.

Tyler Lockett Nov 15 5:50pm ET
Tyler Lockett

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Tyler Lockett (knee) was limited in Thursday's practice with a knee injury, but he put in full practices on Friday and Saturday and has been cleared to play in Week 11 against the Dallas Cowboys on Monday Night Football, according to Ryan McFadden of ESPN. In a pristine matchup, Lockett will be looking to stay heavily involved in the passing attack after catching five of his six targets for a season-high 44 yards in the Week 10 loss to the Denver Broncos. The 33-year-old had only 10 catches for 70 scoreless yards in seven games with the Titans before joining the Raiders and reuniting with quarterback Geno Smith. Lockett and Smith have clear chemistry from their days in Seattle. With that said, Lockett might still be the No. 3 target for Smith behind Tre Tucker and Brock Bowers. Lockett's upside isn't what it used to be, but his chemistry with Smith shouldn't be ignored, and he's facing the worst defense against WRs this week in Dallas. In deeper fantasy leagues, Lockett is in play as a WR4/5 this week.

Demarcus Robinson Nov 15 5:40pm ET
Demarcus Robinson

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Demarcus Robinson hasn't made much of an impact in the passing game in his first year in the Bay Area despite the 49ers being one of the most banged-up teams in the NFL. Through seven games (one start) in 2025, Robinson has caught 11 of his 21 targets for 142 yards and is still searching for his first touchdown of the year. He did play 46% of the offensive snaps (third-highest snap share of the season) in last week's blowout loss to the Los Angeles Rams, but it led to only three catches on four targets for 34 yards. Fellow wideout Ricky Pearsall (knee) is making his return this weekend for the first time since spraining his PCL in Week 4, so Robinson figures to see less time on the field in Week 11 versus the Arizona Cardinals. The Cardinals' defense has been middle of the pack in terms of fantasy points allowed per game to opposing wideouts, and Robinson remains off the fantasy radar in pretty much all leagues.

From RotoBaller

Darnell Washington Nov 15 5:30pm ET
Darnell Washington

Pittsburgh Steelers big-bodied tight end Darnell Washington caught his only touchdown of the season and the second of his career in the first matchup against the division-rival Cincinnati Bengals on Oct. 16, but it came on just three catches (five targets) for two yards. Since then, the 6-foot-7, 264-pound unit has caught five passes for 58 yards and no touchdowns on seven targets as the team's TE3 behind Pat Freiermuth and Jonnu Smith. In nine total games in 2025 in his third year in the NFL, Washington has just 14 receptions for 142 yards and one touchdown on 21 targets. His size sets him apart when quarterback Aaron Rodgers is facing pressure and he just needs to throw the ball up to a big target, but otherwise, Washington just isn't seeing enough volume to be anything more than a TE3 in fantasy, even against a Bengals defense that has allowed the most half-PPR points per game to the TE position.

DeMarvion Overshown Nov 15 5:00pm ET
DeMarvion Overshown

Dallas Cowboys linebacker DeMarvion Overshown (knee) is off the injury report and will make his 2025 debut against the Las Vegas Raiders. Overshown suffered a significant knee injury (Torn ACL, MCL, PCL) in December of 2024 but is making his return just 11 months after the horrifying injury. During his rookie season, Overshown was an impact player for the Cowboys, forcing five sacks, 90 tackles, a forced fumble, and a pick-six in just 13 games. The Cowboys' defense has struggled in both the run game and the passing game, so Overshown's presence will be one to watch on Monday Night when they face the Las Vegas Raiders.

From RotoBaller

Younghoe Koo Nov 15 4:50pm ET
Younghoe Koo

The New York Giants have signed kicker Younghoe Koo to the active roster ahead of Week 11's matchup against the Green Bay Packers. With Graham Gano (neck) on the injured reserve, Koo will likely serve the kicking duties for the remainder of the season. Koo made both field goal and extra point attempts in Week 10, even in the cold and windy conditions in Chicago. The Giants face the Green Bay Packers in Week 11, who have been an elite defense in 2025. With Jaxson Dart (concussion) out, and Jameis Winston under center, field goal opportunities could be rare in this one.

From RotoBaller

Milton Williams Nov 15 4:50pm ET
Milton Williams

The New England Patriots have placed defensive tackle Milton Williams (ankle) on injured reserve after he suffered a high-ankle sprain early in Thursday night's win over the New York Jets. Williams, who signed a four-year, $104 million contract in the offseason, has been one of the driving forces behind New England's dramatic improvement against the run. Williams was a key part of the Philadelphia Eagles' run defense in 2024 when they ranked as the best defense against running backs. With Williams sidelined until at least Week 16, the team will need defensive ends Joshua Farmer and Cory Durden to step up in Williams' absence.

From RotoBaller

Dont'e Thornton Jr. Nov 15 4:40pm ET
Dont'e Thornton Jr.

Las Vegas Raiders rookie wide receiver Dont'e Thornton Jr. is trying to take advantage of expanded opportunities in Week 11. Thornton only caught one pass for four yards in their Week 11 loss to the Denver Broncos, but played 60% of the snaps, which ranked second on the team. With the Dallas Cowboys on the slate in Week 11, Thornton could offer big-play upside in deeper leagues and DFS formats. The Cowboys have allowed the most half-PPR fantasy points to wide receivers this season, so this could be a big week for the rookie receiver. In what should be a high-scoring affair in Week 11, look for Thornton to make an impact in Week 11.

From RotoBaller

Gabriel Davis Nov 15 4:30pm ET
Gabriel Davis

The Buffalo Bills activated wide receivers Mecole Hardman and Gabriel Davis to the active roster this week. Hardman, who was recently signed, brings game-breaking speed as a receiving and return specialist, while Davis offers size and experience in the offense. Khalil Shakir remains the team's No. 1 receiver but currently ranks 41st in the NFL in receiving yards. With no injury designations in the Bills' wide receiver room, the latest roster moves suggest that at least one receiver is likely to be a healthy scratch against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. While neither Hardman nor Davis carries much fantasy value this week, both should have opportunities to add a spark to an underwhelming receiving room.

From RotoBaller

Sam LaPorta Nov 15 4:20pm ET
Sam LaPorta

Detroit Lions tight end Sam LaPorta (back) was placed on Injured Reserve ahead of the Week 11 Sunday night game against the Philadelphia Eagles. LaPorta did not practice this week and was ruled out before their primetime game against the Eagles. Through nine games, LaPorta has hauled in 40 of 49 targets for 489 yards and three touchdowns, ranking as the TE8 in PPR formats. LaPorta's absence should upgrade the other weapons across the board, especially Jameson Williams and tight end Brock Wright, who is questionable to play this weekend with an ankle injury. The next chance that LaPorta has to return is in Week 15, when they head to Los Angeles to take on the Rams.

From RotoBaller

Cade Stover Nov 15 4:10pm ET
Cade Stover

The Houston Texans have activated tight end Cade Stover (foot) from Injured Reserve heading into their Week 11 matchup against the Tennessee Titans. The team placed tight end Harrison Bryant (neck/shoulder) on Injured Reserve in a corresponding roster move. Stover has been sidelined since suffering a broken foot in Week 1. Across 15 games as a rookie in 2024, Stover recorded 15 catches for 133 yards and a touchdown on 22 targets. While Stover is unlikely to play a fantasy-relevant role himself, his return could threaten the playing time of Texans tight end Dalton Schultz. Schultz has emerged as a consistent feature in the Houston passing game in recent weeks, recording 24 catches for 252 yards and a touchdown on 32 targets over his last four games. Fantasy managers should monitor the playing time split between Schultz and Stover in Week 11.

From RotoBaller

Elijah Arroyo Nov 15 4:00pm ET
Elijah Arroyo

Through the first nine games of his NFL career, Seattle Seahawks rookie tight end Elijah Arroyo has recorded 14 catches for 174 yards and a touchdown on 20 targets. While Arroyo has flashed upside, his production ceiling is limited as he splits snaps with fellow Seahawks tight end AJ Barner. The Seahawks have a difficult matchup in Week 11 against the Los Angeles Rams. Through 10 weeks, the Rams defense is allowing the seventh-fewest (6.6) yards per pass attempt in the NFL. Arroyo has not recorded more than five targets or four catches in any game this season, and he appears unlikely to surpass those marks against Los Angeles. Fantasy managers should avoid starting Arroyo in Week 11 against the Rams.

From RotoBaller

J.K. Dobbins Nov 15 3:40pm ET
J.K. Dobbins

Denver Broncos running back J.K. Dobbins (foot) has a "significant" foot injury that will require season-ending surgery, according to Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. Dobbins suffered the injury in Week 10 and had already been ruled out for Denver's Week 11 matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs, but he will now be placed on Injured Reserve. It's an unfortunate development for the oft-injured 26-year-old, who was having a solid season in his first year in Denver. Through 10 games, Dobbins had recorded 772 rushing yards and four touchdowns on 153 carries. With Dobbins sidelined, Broncos rookie running back RJ Harvey profiles as the team's RB1 for Week 11 and beyond. Fellow backs Tyler Badie and Jaleel McLaughlin could also factor in Denver, but neither profiles as a true threat to surpass Harvey.

From RotoBaller

Jaylon Johnson Nov 15 3:20pm ET
Jaylon Johnson

Chicago Bears cornerback Jaylon Johnson (groin) has been downgraded to out for his team's Week 11 matchup against the Minnesota Vikings. The star corner has been on Injured Reserve since Week 2 due to a groin injury. Chicago has opened Johnson's activation window, and he was able to log a limited practice on Friday, but he'll have to wait at least one more week before returning to the field. Across 17 games in 2024, Johnson recorded 42 solo tackles and two interceptions and was named to his second Pro Bowl. Without Johnson, Tyrique Stevenson and Nahshon Wright will likely see the majority of the team's cornerback snaps in Week 11. Johnson's next chance to make his return to the lineup will be in Week 12 against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

From RotoBaller

Jermaine Burton Nov 15 3:10pm ET
Jermaine Burton

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Jermaine Burton (illness) will not play in his team's Week 11 matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers due to illness, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Burton has not appeared in a game for Cincinnati yet this season. The former third-round pick flashed upside at times during his rookie season in 2024, but he is buried on the Bengals' wide receiver depth chart. Cincinnati wideouts Ja'Marr Chase, Tee Higgins, and Andrei Iosivas should remain the top options for quarterback Joe Flacco in Week 11 against Pittsburgh.

From RotoBaller

Pat Bryant Nov 15 3:00pm ET
Pat Bryant

Through the first nine games of his NFL career, Denver Broncos rookie wide receiver Pat Bryant has recorded 10 catches for 149 yards and a touchdown on 19 targets. With Broncos wide receiver Marvin Mims Jr. (concussion) sidelined by a concussion, Bryant has stepped into the WR3 role in Denver over the past two weeks. However, Mims Jr. logged three full practices this week and does not carry an injury designation into the team's Week 11 matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs. Bryant should still see some snaps against Kansas City, but the return of Mims Jr. limits his breakout potential. The Chiefs are also a difficult matchup, as they have allowed the fifth-fewest passing yards (1,763) in the NFL so far this season. Bryant should remain off the radar of fantasy managers in Week 11.

From RotoBaller

Brandon McManus Nov 15 2:50pm ET
Brandon McManus

Green Bay Packers kicker Brandon McManus (right quad) has been added to the injury report and listed as doubtful to play in his team's Week 11 matchup against the New York Giants. McManus has been playing through the quad injury for a few weeks, but it appears he may have taken a turn for the worse heading into Week 11. If he is unable to go on Sunday, backup kicker Lucas Havrisik appears likely to take over kicking duties for Green Bay. The Packers have been one of the rare teams to carry two kickers on their 53-man roster with McManus playing through injury. Havrisik has appeared in two games this season and converted on all four of his field goal attempts.

From RotoBaller

Cairo Santos Nov 15 2:40pm ET
Cairo Santos

Chicago Bears kicker Cairo Santos has been a safe floor option at the position this season. Through seven games, Santos has made 12 of 15 kicks, while making all 20 extra point attempts. Santos is averaging 9.1 fantasy points per game this season, which puts him on pace to finish as the 13th-ranked kicker. The Bears face the Minnesota Vikings in Week 11, which will be Santos's first indoor game since Week 2. Despite the ideal kicking conditions, the Vikings may fare as a tough matchup for the veteran kicker, as only one other team has forced more missed field goals this season than the Vikings. Santos is a low-end starting option against the Vikings, as he looks to have his first big game of the 2025 season.

From RotoBaller

Isaac TeSlaa Nov 15 2:40pm ET
Isaac TeSlaa

Detroit Lions wide receiver Isaac TeSlaa (oblique) has recorded just four catches for 65 yards and two touchdowns on seven targets across the first nine games of his career. The rookie wideout was a late addition to the injury report on Saturday due to an oblique issue and is now listed as questionable to play in Week 11 against the Philadelphia Eagles. In Lions head coach Dan Campbell's first game as the team's play-caller in Week 10, TeSlaa broke a three-game catch-less streak and played 20 offensive snaps, his most in a game since Week 6. The Lions have a difficult matchup in Week 11 against the Philadelphia. Still, if active, TeSlaa could have more opportunities in the passing game due to the absence of Detroit tight end Sam LaPorta (back). TeSlaa is ultimately difficult to trust as a fantasy starter in Week 11, but he could be a name to monitor in deep leagues if LaPorta's injury keeps him out long term.

From RotoBaller

Matt Prater Nov 15 2:30pm ET
Matt Prater

Buffalo Bills kicker Matt Prater did not attempt a field goal in his team's surprising 13-point performance in their Week 10 loss to the Miami Dolphins. Prater has now gone two consecutive weeks without a made field goal, as he missed both of his attempts in Buffalo's Week 9 win over the Kansas City Chiefs. Still, the 41-year-old has generally been solid this season, knocking in 12 of 14 field goal attempts and 26 of 27 extra-point tries across nine games. He should have some chances to get back on the board when the Bills host the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 11. Through 10 weeks, both Buffalo and Tampa Bay rank in the top 11 in the NFL in per-game scoring. One possible concern for Prater's fantasy outlook in Week 11 is the potential for windy weather in Buffalo, so managers should monitor the forecast on Sunday. Still, Prater profiles as a low-end starting kicker option in Week 11.
