Saints Not Considering Moving on from GM Mickey Loomis
New Orleans Saints owner Gayle Benson recently defended longtime general manager Mickey Loomis, per NOLA.com's Jeff Duncan. Benson characterized calls from the fans to fire Loomis as "ridiculous" and said he is doing a "great job." Loomis has held the role of general manager in New Orleans since 2002. The Saints have certainly had success during his tenure, including winning Super Bowl XLIV to cap off the 2009 season. However, New Orleans has not reached double-digit wins since 2020, and the Saints currently hold a 7-20 record over the past two seasons. Still, it appears that Loomis maintains the full support of his organization's ownership, even if the fanbase is losing patience.

Is Devin Singletary Start-Worthy in Week 11 for Fantasy Football?
New York Giants running back Devin Singletary rushed eight times for 20 yards, adding another 53 on 3-of-3 receiving in Sunday's 24-20 loss to the hosting Chicago Bears; however, he saw his snap percentage decrease from 56% to 33% in Week 10, after in Week 9, he played 56% of the snaps. At this time, the Giants' offensive backfield appears to be a running back by committee between Singletary and Tyrone Tracy Jr., making both of them RB3/flex options at best. Jameis Winston is now under center for the Giants as Jaxson Dart (concussion) has been ruled out for Week 11. Additionally, the Giants fired head coach Brian Daboll, and Mike Kafka has been named the interim head coach. It's unclear how he will approach this backfield. Their matchup in Week 11 also includes the Green Bay Packers, who are the fifth-best at limiting opposing running backs, making Singletary and Tracy difficult to trust in your lineups this week.

Will Sean Tucker be Fantasy Relevant if Teammate Returns?
Tampa Bay Buccaneers third-year running back out of Syracuse, Sean Tucker, has seen an increased workload the last couple of weeks due to Rachaad White's ineffectiveness on the ground (3.74 YPC) and Bucky Irving's (toe/shoulder) injuries. Over the past two games, Tucker has earned 21 carries and rushed for 95 yards and a touchdown. As long as Irving remains sidelined, Tucker will be in the RB3 conversation, given the fact that, based on the last few games, he appears likely to earn 8-12 carries a game. That being said, if Irving returns, which he has logged limited practices on Wednesday and Thursday, Tucker will immediately go back to third on the depth chart and can be returned to the waiver wires. Fantasy managers rostering Tucker as a desperate RB3 option will want to continue to monitor Irving's practice status on Friday and Saturday to know when or if they should drop him.

Is Rhamondre Stevenson In Jeopardy of Losing the Lead-Back Duties in New England?
New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson (toe) missed Week 11's Thursday Night Football matchup against the New York Jets, and proceeded to watch rookie running back TreVeyon Henderson score three touchdowns and combine for 93 all-purpose yards, which was a career night for the rookie running back. This was after Henderson rushed for 147 yards in Week 10 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and scored twice in that game as well, while Stevenson was sidelined. Due to the nature of how Henderson has broken out, it raises the question of what Stevenson's role will be when he returns. At this time, it's too early to assume that Henderson will completely take over, given Patriots' head coach Mike Vrabel's feelings about Stevenson in the running game. Still, Henderson may be forcing Vrabel's hand in making him the starter, given the results he has put up over the past two weeks. Regardless, Henderson clearly has the upside over Stevenson and appears to be the running back you want in New England, but given the overall effectiveness of the Patriots' offense, whoever gets a majority of the touches will be fantasy relevant.

Jacory Croskey-Merritt in Jeopardy of Losing Lead-Back Touches?
Washington Commanders rookie running back Jacory Croskey-Merritt entered Week 10 against the Detroit Lions as the second back to receive touches behind Chris Rodriguez Jr. Although Croskey-Merritt finished the game with 11 carries and played 44 percent of the snaps, prior to Rodriguez leaving the game early due to a shoulder injury, Rodriguez had played 72% of the snaps in the first half, compared to Croskey-Merritt's 16%. As a result of the injury to Rodriguez and the game being out of hand, Croskey-Merritt ended up playing 65.4% of snaps in the second half. This is perhaps why some fantasy managers may believe Croskey-Merritt is still the lead-back. It may continue to be a backfield split moving forward; however, at this time, Rodriguez practiced all week and is expected to play Sunday, and is in line to have lead-back duties. As a result, this makes Croskey-Merritt someone who can't be trusted heading into Week 11. The Commanders play the Miami Dolphins in Spain on Sunday, which should set up to be a strong matchup on paper for him, Rodriguez, making him an RB3/flex option in Week 11.

Isaiah Davis Not Involved Much on Thursday Night Football
New York Jets running back Isaiah Davis was barely involved on Thursday Night Football, as the second-year back out of South Dakota State was limited to just two carries for 11 yards. He also got one target, but after a stretch where it appeared Davis might be relevant in fantasy football, that has slowly dwindled, as we are also seeing his snap share percentage decrease since the bye week, down to 29 percent. To put that into perspective, the two weeks before the bye week, he was playing 47 percent of the snaps. Currently, Breece Hall is the backfield's main option, and Davis can be dropped to the waiver wire to make room for other high-level running back handcuffs that may be available. Up next for the Jets is a trip to Maryland to take on the Baltimore Ravens, who appear to have found their groove and gotten healthy, winning their last three games.

Mack Hollins Remains Heavily Involved in Win Over Jets
New England Patriots wide receiver Mack Hollins caught four of his five targets for 64 yards during Thursday's Week 11 win over the New York Jets. The veteran receiver continues to produce at a high level with teammate Kayshon Boutte (hamstring) sidelined. Hollins now has 19 catches and 268 yards over his last four games, tallying 10+ fantasy points (PPR) in three of those four contests. While we could see his volume get slightly scaled back if Boutte returns in Week 12, there's no denying that Hollins has established himself as one of Drake Maye's favorite targets so far. He should continue to be a mid-to-low WR3/flex for Week 12 against the Cincinnati Bengals.

John Metchie III Paces Jets' Receivers Thursday, Scores First Touchdown of 2025
New York Jets wide receiver John Metchie III caught all three of his targets for 45 yards and a touchdown during Thursday's Week 11 loss against the New England Patriots. Metchie played 82.5 percent of the snaps in the defeat, shattering his previous season-high snap share of 16 percent. Thursday's game also featured Metchie's first touchdown this season and just the second of his career. The 25-year-old was presented with increased opportunities to contribute on primetime television after Garrett Wilson (knee) was placed on injured reserve. The Jets may ride the hot hand in the passing game going forward, but Metchie has an early leg up on the rest of his competition. He can be viewed as a low-end WR3/flex in deeper leagues ahead of Week 12 against the Baltimore Ravens.

Stefon Diggs Delivers Triple-Digit Yardage in Win
New England Patriots wide receiver Stefon Diggs caught nine of his 11 targets for 105 yards during Thursday's Week 11 victory over the New York Jets. The 31-year-old has been terrific lately, and even though his three-game touchdown streak came to an end Thursday, he still has five consecutive games with 10+ fantasy points (PPR). Diggs was on the field for 69.7 percent of the snaps in the victory, eclipsing his previous season-high by more than six percentage points. The increased involvement is a promising sign for fantasy managers, and so, too, is his continued success. The Patriots are on a roll, and their top pass catcher should continue to be deployed as a high-end WR2 heading into next week's battle against the Cincinnati Bengals.

Justin Fields Salvages Fantasy Performance with Rushing Impact
New York Jets quarterback Justin Fields completed 15 of his 26 pass attempts for 116 yards, one touchdown, and zero interceptions during Thursday's Week 11 loss against the New England Patriots. He also added 11 rushing attempts, 67 rushing yards, and one rushing touchdown. While Fields had another poor game passing, he salvaged his fantasy performance with a solid rushing performance. It wasn't enough to keep the Jets' win streak alive, but it was likely enough to prompt fantasy managers to consider starting him next week against the Baltimore Ravens. Fields is best viewed as a low-floor, high-ceiling QB2 in fantasy football.

Drake Maye Showcases Accuracy in Clean Win Over Jets
New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye completed 25 of his 34 pass attempts for 281 yards, one touchdown, and zero interceptions during Thursday's Week 11 win over the New York Jets. He also took one sack and rushed for two yards. The former No. 2 pick didn't have to go above and beyond on Thursday as the Patriots prioritized running the football to beat New York. Nevertheless, Maye still attempted 34 passes and improved his season completion rate by one-fifth of a percentage point. He continues to rank as the highest-scoring quarterback in fantasy football, and he has also propelled his team to sole possession of first place in the NFL standings. Fantasy managers should continue to view Maye as a high-end QB1 heading into Week 12 against the Cincinnati Bengals.

TreVeyon Henderson Scores Hat Trick in Career-Best Outing
New England Patriots running back TreVeyon Henderson capitalized on a favorable matchup against the New York Jets in Week 11, scoring three touchdowns as the Patriots became the first team in the NFL to reach nine wins this season. Henderson totaled 19 carries, 62 rushing yards, two rushing touchdowns, five catches, 31 receiving yards, and one receiving touchdown. While he remained relatively inefficient in terms of yards per carry, he dominated in nearly every other category. Henderson took advantage of an increased workload with Rhamondre Stevenson (toe) sidelined, handling a career-high 88 percent snap share and 24 total touches. Stevenson is getting closer to returning, but the rookie has proven that he deserves to be the lead back even when Stevenson is healthy. Henderson should continue to be viewed as a high-end RB2 in fantasy football.

Brenton Strange Limited Again on Thursday
Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Brenton Strange (hip) was a limited participant in practice for the second day in a row on Thursday. Strange remains on injured reserve, but he was designated to return earlier this week, triggering a 21-day window in which he can practice without being officially activated. The 24-year-old's practice participation leaves his status for Week 11 up in the air. Being limited is a step in the right direction, but the Jaguars could choose to wait to activate him until he's 100 percent. Whenever he does return, he'll rank as a low-end TE1, earning a solid target share with Travis Hunter (knee) sidelined and Brian Thomas Jr. (ankle) underperforming. Strange had 19 catches for 182 yards through his first four games earlier this year.

Milton Williams Done for Week 11 Despite Brief Return
New England Patriots defensive tackle Milton Williams (ankle) has been ruled out for the remainder of Thursday's Week 11 contest against the New York Jets. Williams briefly exited early in the game, and while he did get back into the contest during the first half, he left again and has since been ruled out. According to the Amazon Prime broadcast, the veteran lineman only played eight snaps as the Patriots tested his injury before choosing to keep him out of the game. Cory Durden should continue to earn more snaps in his absence. Williams is a talented, veteran defender, and the fact that he tried to re-enter the contest should leave fans optimistic that he could suit up in Week 12.

Tory Horton Downgraded to Non-Participant on Thursday
Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Tory Horton (groin, shin) did not practice on Thursday. The rookie had logged a limited session on Wednesday, and it seemed like he was trending in the right direction, but his downgraded status on Thursday is not a good sign. He'll likely need to get back on the field in some capacity on Friday in order to have any chance of playing in Week 11 against the Los Angeles Rams. The rookie impressed in his last game with four catches, 48 yards, and two touchdowns, but he has since fallen down a rung on the depth chart after Seattle acquired Rashid Shaheed. Although Horton is a high-upside dynasty stash, he's not a reliable redraft option at the moment.
