Jake Ferguson May Continue to Lose Target Share Coming Out of the Bye Week
Dallas Cowboys tight end Jake Ferguson had a solid game in his final outing before the team's Week 10 bye, recording five catches for 50 yards on seven targets in a Week 9 loss to the Arizona Cardinals. However, the 26-year-old's target volume has tailed off in recent weeks after a scorching start to the season. Across the first five weeks of 2025, Ferguson was averaging 9.6 targets per game. From Weeks 6 through 9, Ferguson averaged 4.5 targets per contest. That drop-off coincided with the return of star wide receiver CeeDee Lamb to the lineup, who had three-plus games in the middle of the season with a high-ankle sprain. Coming out of the bye, Ferguson could continue to lose targets to Lamb and Cowboys wideout George Pickens. Ferguson may still be a useful fantasy tight end, but he's more reliant on touchdowns now than he was earlier in the year.

Xavier Worthy Looks Like An Afterthought in the Chiefs' Passing Game
Before his team's Week 10 bye, Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Xavier Worthy was struggling to be consistently productive. In his final three games before the bye, Worthy recorded 11 catches for 111 yards and zero touchdowns on 18 targets. For the season, the 22-year-old has hauled in just 24 receptions for 256 yards and one touchdown on 40 targets across seven games. Worthy appears to have taken a clear backseat to wide receiver Rashee Rice and tight end Travis Kelce in the Kansas City passing game. Worthy has also seen his red-zone usage decrease in 2025, after scoring nine touchdowns across 17 games as a rookie in 2024. The Chiefs will face a difficult matchup in Week 11 when they travel to Denver to take on the Broncos, so Worthy's struggles may continue coming out of the bye.

Andrei Iosivas Could See More Opportunities in Pass-Happy Bengals' Offense
Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Andrei Iosivas had his best game of the season in his team's final game before its Week 10 bye. Iosivas recorded five catches for 66 yards and a touchdown in Cincinnati's Week 9 loss to the Chicago Bears. The 26-year-old has been a modest producer overall this season, hauling in 16 catches for 236 yards and a score on 31 targets across nine games. As long as star Bengals wideouts Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins remain healthy, the target volume ceiling for Iosivas is limited. If there's any reason for optimism surrounding Iosivas' fantasy outlook, it's how pass-heavy the Bengals' offense has become. In the four games since Joe Flacco has taken over under center in Cincinnati, he's averaging a whopping 43.3 pass attempts per game. If the Bengals continue to throw at that rate, Iosivas could have multiple opportunities to make plays in Week 11 against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Jauan Jennings Scores Another Touchdown in Week 10
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings caught six of his nine targets for 71 receiving yards and a touchdown in Week 10. He also lost a fumble in the team's 42-26 loss to the Rams. The touchdown was Jennings' second in as many weeks and his third of the season. With Ricky Pearsall (knee) and Brandon Aiyuk (knee) out, Jennings is the 49ers' unquestioned WR1. Jennings' production has not met preseason expectations, especially while being targeted on 25.4% of routes run. Week 10 was just Jennings' second top-24 finish among wide receivers, but as long as he continues seeing that kind of opportunity share, Jennings is still worth keeping in fantasy football lineups. Another good week could be in store when the 49ers face the Cardinals in Week 11. Jennings was inactive when the teams met in Week 3, but Pearsall posted 117 yards on eight catches in that game.

Kendrick Bourne Registers One Catch In Loss
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Kendrick Bourne caught his only target of the game for 19 receiving yards in Sunday's 42-26 loss to the Los Angeles Rams. Bourne has maintained a steady presence on the 49ers' offense while Ricky Pearsall (knee) has been out, but has had little to show for it in recent weeks. After blowing up for a pair of 142-yard games in Week 5 and Week 6, Bourne has averaged 2.3 targets and 27.8 yards per game over the last four weeks. With Pearsall's return supposedly not far off, Bourne's viability in fantasy football is trending downward and would come to an end entirely if and when Brandon Aiyuk (knee) comes back. Even if Pearsall remains out for San Francisco's Week 11 meeting with the Arizona Cardinals, Bourne's ongoing cold streak limits his flex appeal.

Luke Farrell Scores Rare Touchdown In Loss
San Francisco 49ers tight end Luke Farrell had two receptions for 15 yards and a touchdown on two targets in Sunday's 42-26 loss to the Los Angeles Rams. The score was Farrell's second of the season, the other coming back in Week 2's tilt against the Saints. His season-long production now stands at 10 receptions for 82 yards and two touchdowns. Farrell's role on San Francisco's offense is limited almost entirely to acting as an extra blocker. Through 10 games, he is averaging just 1.2 targets per game. With so few opportunities, he can safely be left on the waiver wire. He is unlikely to be as productive in Week 11, when the 49ers face the Arizona Cardinals.

Tee Higgins Ready for Rematch Against Steelers in Week 11
Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins is coming off his best performance of the season. Higgins hauled in seven of his nine targets for 121 yards and two touchdowns during the Week 9 loss to the Chicago Bears. The Bengals are hopeful that the bye week hasn't cooled off Higgins. The 26-year-old has scored four touchdowns over his last three games. He'll head into a rematch against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 11. A defense that he burned for 96 yards and a touchdown during their last meeting. Fantasy managers should expect another big performance out of Higgins this weekend.

Javonte Williams Ready to Bounce Back in Week 11
Dallas Cowboys running back Javonte Williams was unable to offer fantasy managers much value during the Week 9 loss to the Arizona Cardinals. Williams rushed the ball 15 times for 83 yards and lost a fumble in the defeat. The 25-year-old was actually solid on the ground with 5.53 yards per carry during this game. However, Williams was a non-factor in the receiving game which hurt his fantasy value. The Cowboys are coming off a bye week and should be well rested for their matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 11. Fantasy managers should expect a bounce back performance from Williams during this one.

Christian McCaffrey Totals 96 Yards In Week 10
San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey handled 12 carries for 30 rushing yards and caught eight of his 10 targets for 66 receiving yards in Week 10. As has been the norm this season, McCaffrey's abilities as a receiver kept fantasy football managers happy. He has registered more yards through the air than on the ground in seven of ten games, and Week 10 was the sixth game of the season where he led the team in targets. The 96 scrimmage yards he ground out were his second-lowest total of the season and just the second time in 2025 that he failed to hit the century mark. He should fare better in Week 11 when the 49ers square off against the Arizona Cardinals, who just gave up 181 rushing yards and two touchdowns to Seattle's running backs in Week 10.

Chase Brown Looks to Build off Eight-Catch Performance
Cincinnati Bengals running back Chase Brown is looking to build off a strong performance he had as a receiver in Week 9. Brown hauled in eight of his 14 targets for 75 yards during their loss to the Chicago Bears. The 25-year-old struggled with only 37 yards on the ground, but the eight receptions helped save his fantasy value. The Bengals had a bye week this past weekend, but head into a matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 11. Brown rushed for over 100 yards during their last matchup in Week 7. The Bengals are going to be without Samaje Perine (ankle) for a few weeks. That being said, Brown figures to see almost all the work in the backfield. He played 96 percent of the offensive snaps during the loss to the Bears. Brown should be a focal point in this offense going forward.

Elgton Jenkins Placed on Injured Reserve
Green Bay Packers guard/center Elgton Jenkins (ankle) was placed on the injured reserve on Tuesday. Jenkins suffered a possible season-ending ankle injury during their loss to the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday. For now, Jenkins will head to the IR and will miss at least the next four games. This is a tough blow to Green Bay as Jenkins was playing extremely well lately. The Packers don't have a true backup center, so they might look at multiple candidates to replace Jenkins. Right now, Sean Rhyan and Jordan Morgan seem like the top candidates to take over the center spot in Green Bay.

Jaire Alexander is Stepping Away from Football
Philadelphia Eagles defensive back Jaire Alexander has decided to step away from football. Alexander wants to get himself right physically and mentally before deciding on his future. He was traded to the Eagles in the beginning of November after playing two games for the Baltimore Ravens. Alexander has been a healthy scratch ever since joining the Eagles roster. It's unclear if the former Pro Bowl defensive back will actually return to football. He hasn't played a full season since 2022, so it's probably best for him to rest and get himself back to normal physically.

Josh Downs Held to One Catch in Week 10
Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Josh Downs caught just one of his two targets for a three-yard gain in a 31-25 win over the Atlanta Falcons in Berlin in Week 10. Downs was surprisingly quiet in the win as the Colts leaned on Tyler Warren and Alec Pierce in the passing attack. The veteran slot receiver saw a three-game touchdown streak come to an end, as well, in the contest. Overall, Downs has caught 36 passes for 316 yards and three touchdowns in nine games this season. He will be on bye in Week 11 before an important road matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 12.

DeMarvion Overshown, Shavon Revel Activated on Tuesday
Dallas Cowboys linebacker DeMarvion Overshown (knee) and Shavon Revel (knee) have been activated from the Physically Unable to Perform list on Tuesday. Overshown is recovering from a torn ACL, MCL, and PCL in his knee from last December. He has been practicing in a limited capacity and is hopeful to make his season debut soon. There is no timetable at this time, so it's unclear if he'll be available for the Week 11 matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders. Revel is also recovering from a torn ACL he suffered during his final game at East Carolina. He has been limited in practice, but will likely need additional time to prepare before getting into game action.

Michael Pittman Jr. Held to Two Catches in Week 10 Win
Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. turned in a quiet performance in Week 10's 31-25 win over the Atlanta Falcons in Berlin. Pittman caught both of his two targets for only 19 yards in the win. Week 10 was a rare game where Pittman wasn't the Colts' most productive receiver as the team leaned on Alec Pierce, who caught four of seven targets for 84 yards and a touchdown. Pittman has now caught 54 passes for 580 yards and six touchdowns in 10 games for the Colts this season. He will be on bye in Week 11 before a Week 12 road matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs.
