Panthers | Waller catches 8 passes for 90 yards, a touchdown in loss to Broncos Sun Nov 8, 04:15 PM
Carolina Panthers TE Darren Waller caught 8 passes for 90 yards and a touchdown on 10 targets in Sunday's 26-21 loss to the Denver Broncos. He was projected for 5.2 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 19.0.
| Footballguys view: Waller's big game should remind us to err on the side of starting tight ends when they face a Broncos defense that has allowed seven touchdowns to tight ends and six games of 62 yards or more to tight ends in nine games this season. Brock Bowers, Dalton Kincaid, and Hunter Henry draw the Broncos in the fantasy playoffs in Weeks 15-17. |

Panthers | Young throws for 276 yards, three touchdowns in loss to Broncos Sun Nov 8, 04:15 PM
Carolina Panthers QB Bryce Young completed 28 of 39 passes for 276 yards with 3 touchdowns and 1 interception and lost 1 fumble in Sunday's 26-21 loss to the Denver Broncos. He was projected for 16.4 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 21.3.
| Footballguys view: Young hung tough against the Broncos pass rush and leaned heavily on Darren Waller and other tight ends, a longtime weakness of the Denver defense. He bounced back for fantasy just in time for a matchup against a Saints defense that held him to 287 passing yards and one touchdown in the two matchups last year. He's into the toughest section of his schedule after starting with the easier run of poor pass defenses. |

Commanders | Jefferson catches 5 passes for 58 yards, a touchdown in loss to Rams Sun Nov 8, 04:15 PM
Washington Commanders WR Van Jefferson caught 5 passes for 58 yards and a touchdown on 7 targets in Sunday's 20-13 loss to the Los Angeles Rams. He was projected for 1.3 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 14.3.

Rams | Nacua catches 14 passes for 150 yards, a touchdown, suffers a knee injury, MRI to come Sun Nov 8, 04:15 PM
Los Angeles Rams WR Puka Nacua ran 2 times for 20 yards, also caught 14 passes for 150 yards and a touchdown on 19 targets and lost 1 fumble in Sunday's 20-13 win over the Washington Commanders. He was projected for 17.9 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 28.0. Nacua also suffered a knee injury on the team's final offensive snap of Sunday's win over the Commanders and will undergo an MRI on Monday to determine the extent of the injury, the report said, crediting NFL Network's Mike Garafolo as well. The team does not believe Nacua suffered a torn ACL, but Monday's imaging will tell more.
| Footballguys view: Nacua has become the equivalent of a workhorse running back in the passing game, absorbing a ton of punishment on short range passes that keep the offense on schedule. He is set up to be as valuable as ever in PPR leagues as long as he can stay on the field. The Rams get a rematch with the Cardinals team that they lost to despite Arizona not scoring a touchdown in Week 6. |

Jets | Mitchell held to 0 catches for 0 yards in loss to Chiefs, Cooper catches 8 for 58 Sun Nov 8, 04:10 PM
New York Jets WR Adonai Mitchell caught 0 passes for 0 yards on 7 targets in Sunday's 35-12 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. He was projected for 10.1 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 0.0.
| Footballguys view: Mitchell and Omar Cooper Jr. have been trading off zeroes over the last three weeks. This week, it was Mitchell's turn, although he did get seven targets and narrowly missed catching what would have been a long touchdown from Geno Smith on a frustrating day for this offense. The Jets settled for five field goal attempts despite moving the ball effectively for most of the first half. Cooper ended up catching eight of his 11 targets and ran with the toughness and resourcefulness he is known for to get 58 hard-earned yards. Garrett Wilson should be back against the Bills in Week 10 after missing this one because of a concussion, which will complicate projecting this pass offense even further. |

Chiefs | Walker runs for 102 yards, one TD, two receiving TDs in win over Jets Sun Nov 8, 04:10 PM
Kansas City Chiefs RB Ken Walker III ran 18 times for 102 yards and a touchdown and also caught 4 passes for 41 yards and two touchdowns on 4 targets in Sunday's 35-12 win over the New York Jets. He was projected for 20.4 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 34.3.
| Footballguys view: Walker had cooled off with only 141 total yards and no scores in the last two games. He atoned this week by piling up 143 total yards and finding paydirt three times. He overwhelmed a Jets defense that has been beaten just about every way you can beat a defense in the last three weeks. Walker will take aim at a weary Falcons defense that got run ragged by Joe Burrow in Madrid today. |

Dolphins | Malik Washington held to 2 catches for 21 yards in loss to Lions Sun Nov 8, 03:55 PM
Miami Dolphins WR Malik Washington ran 1 time for 0 yards and also caught 2 passes for 21 yards on 3 targets in Sunday's 19-9 loss to the Detroit Lions. He was projected for 9.9 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 3.1.

Lions | Goff held to 170 passing yards in win over Dolphins Sun Nov 8, 03:55 PM
Detroit Lions QB Jared Goff completed 17 of 25 passes for 170 yards and 1 interception in Sunday's 19-9 win over the Miami Dolphins. He was projected for 18.9 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 6.3.
| Footballguys view: Jeff Hafley knows Goff's game well from his four matchups against him as the Packers defensive coordinator in 2024-25. He doesn't have the same quality of personnel in Miami (yet), but Hafley's defense contained Jahmyr Gibbs and put a cap on the Lions vertical passing game, just like Green Bay did in two wins over Detroit last year. This was also outdoor Goff, which we will get again vs. the Patriots in Munich, Germany. |

Dolphins | Willis held to 128 passing yards in loss to Lions Sun Nov 8, 03:55 PM
Miami Dolphins QB Malik Willis completed 13 of 25 passes for 128 yards and 1 interception in Sunday's 19-9 loss to the Detroit Lions. He was projected for 18.2 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 4.8.
| Footballguys view: The Lions defense appears to have found itself against Kyler Murray and the Vikings in Week 8. They stuffed the Dolphins running game and made life hard for Willis after the Dolphins' starting quarterback had been displaying command of the offense, leading five long touchdown drives against the Patriots and Jets the last two weeks. Willis was coming on in fantasy, but his running has been limited by a groin injury. Next week, Willis and the Dolphins face a declining Colts defense that just gave up over 500 total yards to Dallas, so he'll still be a viable bye-week coverage option for Caleb Williams teams if he can get in full practices to show that his groin injury is getting better. |

Chiefs | Xavier Worthy goes down grabbing his hamstring, Chiefs likely to add a WR Sun Nov 8, 03:53 PM
Chiefs WR Xavier Worthy went down grabbing his hamstring during Sunday's game against the Jets. The Chiefs have been calling teams about wide receivers for weeks, and it was already likely that Kansas City would add a WR before Tuesday.
| Footballguys view: Worthy had six receptions for 48 yards when he left the game, so he was functional in the short-range passing game even though he hasn't become the deep threat the Chiefs hoped he would be when they moved up to take him in the 2024 first round. Josh Downs and Brian Thomas Jr. are the names most frequently mentioned as wide receiver trade targets for Kansas City. |

Patriots | Mack Hollins active vs. Packers, could see 'prominent snaps' as Z-receiver Sun Nov 8, 03:25 PM
Patriots WR Mack Hollins is active for Sunday's game against the Packers after returning from injured reserve following a four-game absence with a calf injury. Hollins played 63% of offensive snaps before hurting his calf in Week 4 against the Bills. The expectation is that he might see some prominent snaps as the Z-receiver, which in turn might bump second-year WR Efton Chism III down the depth chart.

Broncos | Jaylen Waddle out with concussion vs. Panthers Sun Nov 8, 02:44 PM
Broncos WR Jaylen Waddle has been ruled out of Sunday's game against the Panthers with a concussion. Waddle had been evaluated for a possible concussion earlier in the game.
| Footballguys view: The Broncos passing game did not miss a beat after Waddle -- who finished with one catch for 22 yards -- left the game. Pat Bryant returned from injured reserve this week and picked up the slack, along with Courtland Sutton stepping up in Waddle's absence. Both players scored and helped the Broncos move the sticks with catches and pass interference penalties drawn against the Panthers beleaguered secondary. Denver has a bye next week, so Waddle may not miss a game. |
