Harold Fannin Jr. Goes for 26 Yards in Week 11 Loss
Cleveland Browns rookie tight end Harold Fannin Jr. caught two of his five targets for 26 yards in a 23-16 loss to the Baltimore Ravens in Week 11. Fannin's quiet afternoon in the passing game was still good enough for a second-place finish on the Browns in receiving yards, as they only threw for 115 yards as a team. The rookie tight end has been a solid fantasy asset this season, although he has cooled off a bit over his past two games, with just six catches for 70 scoreless yards over that span. He will look to get back into the end zone in Week 12's road matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders.

George Kittle Hauls in Two Touchdown Grabs in Week 11 Win
San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle had a vintage game in Week 11, recording six catches for 67 yards and two touchdowns on six targets in his team's 41-22 win over the Arizona Cardinals. Kittle showed off his established chemistry with 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy, who made his first start since Week 4. The 32-year-old Kittle has now hauled in 27 catches for 251 yards and five touchdowns on 30 targets across six games played this season. He's heating up of late, recording 15 receptions for 151 yards and three scores over the last two weeks. Kittle profiles as a must-start tight end heading into a Week 12 matchup against the Carolina Panthers.

Jerry Jeudy Held to 21 Yards in Week 11 Loss to Ravens
Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jerry Jeudy caught just three of his seven targets for 21 yards in a 23-16 loss to the Baltimore Ravens in Week 11. Jeudy turned in his best performance of the season back in Week 10, catching six of his 12 targets for 78 yards and a touchdown, but was unable to stay hot against the Ravens, despite what appeared to be a plus matchup for receivers on paper. Jeudy is turning in a disappointing season as the Browns' No. 1 receiver and has been borderline unusable in fantasy most weeks. He will look to break out in Week 12's road matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders.

Cedric Tillman Leads Browns in Receiving in Week 11 Loss
Cleveland Browns wide receiver Cedric Tillman caught three of his four targets for 52 yards in a 23-16 loss to the Baltimore Ravens in Week 11. Tillman wound up leading the Browns in receiving in a game where they only threw for 115 yards. Things weren't helped by the fact that Dillon Gabriel was knocked out of the game with a concussion and Shedeur Sanders only completed four of his 16 passes in relief. Tillman has not found the end zone since Week 2 but his decent outing on Sunday was at least encouraging. He will look to build on that in Week 12's road matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders.

Drake London's Knee Injury "Not Thought to be Overly Serious"
ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that the knee injury Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London (knee) suffered in Week 11 is "not thought to be overly serious." Schefter also reports that London will undergo additional tests to determine the "extent of the injury and how much time he will miss, if any." London was forced to exit early from his team's Week 11 loss to the Carolina Panthers due to the injury. Before getting hurt, he recorded seven catches for 119 yards on nine targets. Any absence for London would be a devastating blow for the Atlanta offense. Across nine games this season, the 24-year-old has hauled in 60 receptions for 810 yards and six touchdowns on 94 targets. If he misses time, Falcons wideout Darnell Mooney and tight end Kyle Pitts Sr. would both be in for a bump in targets. Atlanta will travel to New Orleans to take on the Saints in Week 12.

Quinshon Judkins Bottled Up by Ravens in Week 11 Loss
Cleveland Browns running back Quinshon Judkins carried the ball 17 times for 59 yards and failed to catch either of his two targets in a 23-16 loss to the Baltimore Ravens in Week 11. Judkins was unable to capitalize on what appeared to be a good matchup on paper against the Baltimore run defense, as he managed just 3.5 yards per carry in the loss. The rookie has now been held out of the end zone in three consecutive games as the Cleveland offense continues to struggle to move the ball. Judkins will look to bounce back in Week 12 against the Las Vegas Raiders on the road.

Aaron Rodgers May Have "Slight Break" in Left Wrist, Likely Out for Week 12
There's initial concern that Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers has a "slight break" in his left wrist, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Schefter reports that Rodgers will undergo further testing on Monday, but it's "shaping up" to be Steelers backup quarterback Mason Rudolph who gets the start in Week 12 against the Chicago Bears. Rodgers was forced to exit early from Pittsburgh's Week 11 win over the Cincinnati Bengals. Rudolph played well after taking over for Rodgers against Cincinnati, completing 12 of 16 pass attempts for 127 yards, one touchdown, and zero interceptions. It's unclear exactly how long Rodgers will be sidelined, but it appears as though Rudolph will be forced into action in the short term.

Jacoby Brissett Sets Completion Record in Loss to 49ers
Arizona Cardinals quarterback Jacoby Brissett completed 47 of his 57 pass attempts for 452 passing yards, two touchdowns, and two interceptions during Sunday's Week 11 loss against the San Francisco 49ers. Brissett's 47 completions broke the NFL's all-time single-game record, surpassing Jared Goff and Drew Bledsoe, who both once had 45 completions. The two turnovers are a blemish on his stat line, but the veteran quarterback still drastically exceeded expectations in fantasy football, even without Marvin Harrison Jr. (appendix) at his disposal. He has 11 total touchdowns in five games since taking over for Kyler Murray (foot), and during that span, he ranks as the overall QB4 in fantasy points per game. He has emerged as a must-start quarterback for Week 12 against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Trey McBride Extends Touchdown Streak in Busy Outing Against 49ers
Arizona Cardinals tight end Trey McBride caught 10 of his 11 targets for 115 yards and one touchdown during Sunday's Week 11 loss against the San Francisco 49ers. McBride was already the top weapon in Arizona's passing attack, but he took on an even larger role this week with Marvin Harrison Jr. (appendix) sidelined. The tight end benefited from Jacoby Brissett completing 47 passes, which is a new NFL all-time single-game record. McBride now has five consecutive games with a touchdown, scoring six different times in that span. He'll remain a must-start, high-end TE1 even after Harrison returns to action. The Cardinals will host the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 12.

Michael Wilson Peppered With Targets Amid Teammate's Absence
Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Michael Wilson caught 15 of his 18 targets for 185 yards during Sunday's Week 11 loss to the San Francisco 49ers. We knew Wilson was going to take on an expanded role with Marvin Harrison Jr. (appendix) sidelined, but nobody could have predicted that he would be this involved and productive against the Niners. He benefited from Jacoby Brissett setting a new record for most completions (47) in a single game in NFL history. It's unlikely that Brissett throws the ball as much next week, and it's also too early to tell whether Harrison will miss additional time. Nevertheless, Wilson's big game will keep him in the WR3/flex tier with WR2 upside for Week 12 against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Christian McCaffrey Scores Three Touchdowns in Divisional Win
San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey had 13 carries for 81 rushing yards and two rushing touchdowns during Sunday's Week 11 win over the Arizona Cardinals. He also caught five of his six targets for an additional 40 receiving yards and one receiving touchdown. The superstar running back continues to demonstrate excellence as a rusher and receiver, and his big game officially propelled him past Jonathan Taylor for the overall RB1 spot (PPR) through 11 weeks. Given that he was a late-first-round pick in most redraft leagues this year, managers are getting even more than they expected from the 29-year-old. He remains a must-start RB1 for Week 12 against his old team, the Carolina Panthers.

Isaac TeSlaa Active for Sunday Night Football in Week 11
Detroit Lions wide receiver Isaac TeSlaa (oblique) is officially active for Week 11 against the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday Night Football. He was listed as questionable after being a late addition to the injury report. The rookie has occupied a depth role in his first pro season, catching four of seven targets for 65 yards and two touchdowns through nine games. He remains off the redraft radar as long as Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jameson Williams are both healthy.

Michael Penix Jr. Aggravates Knee Injury, Could Miss More Time
Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Penix Jr. (knee) aggravated the same knee injury that forced him to miss time earlier this season, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. The second-year quarterback had completed 13 of his 16 pass attempts for 175 yards before exiting Sunday's Week 11 loss against the Carolina Panthers. Rapoport notes that Penix is headed for additional testing, but the initial expectation is that he will miss time. That would leave Kirk Cousins in line to make his second start of the season next Sunday against the New Orleans Saints. The veteran went just 6-for-14 passing with 48 yards in relief of Penix this week. He led zero touchdown drives but did get Atlanta in position for two fourth-quarter field goals.

Shedeur Sanders Back to the Bench if Starter is Healthy
Cleveland Browns quarterback Shedeur Sanders will return to the backup role if Dillon Gabriel (concussion) clears concussion protocol ahead of Week 12 against the Las Vegas Raiders. Head coach Kevin Stefanski confirmed that Gabriel will be the starter when healthy. Gabriel exited midway through Sunday's Week 11 contest against the Baltimore Ravens. He had orchestrated a six-point lead, but Sanders struggled upon entering, completing just four of his 16 pass attempts with one interception and two sacks. Neither Gabriel nor Sanders is very appealing in redraft leagues, and both would rank outside the top 24 quarterbacks against Las Vegas.

Dillon Gabriel to Remain the Starter if Healthy
Cleveland Browns quarterback Dillon Gabriel (concussion) has entered the league's concussion protocol, leaving his status for Week 12 against the Las Vegas Raiders up in the air. However, according to head coach Kevin Stefanski, Gabriel will remain the starter if he is healthy and clears concussion protocol. The Oregon product was replaced by fellow rookie Shedeur Sanders following his injury, but it didn't go very well as Sanders completed just four of his 16 pass attempts, took two sacks, and threw an interception. Gabriel, on the other hand, went 7-for-10 passing with 68 yards through the air, and he also led four scoring drives. Cleveland is at its best when it controls the rushing attack, which leaves Gabriel outside the top 24 fantasy quarterbacks going forward.
