STUD RB: Brian Robinson (WAS)

6 receptions for 119 yards and a TD vaulted the second-year RB to his 2nd PPR RB1 finish on Sunday afternoon. His 51-yard TD reception electrified the Commanders in the first quarter to get the scoring going. Although his team would ultimately fall to a walk-off field goal, Robinson continues to develop as one of the leagueā€™s most promising young fantasy RBs.

DUD RB: Derrick Henry (TEN)

Is the Big Dog fading?

The game flow was poor, but Henry continues to cede touches to Tyjae Spears, and his efficiency just is not what it has been for the past few seasons. He was able to muster just 24 yards on 11 carries in Week 10.

Weā€™re a long way from those bruising bulldozer runs.

STUD QB: Dak Prescott (DAL)

In the season sweep of the hapless New York Giants, Dak showed once again that he wants to cement himself as one of the leagueā€™s premiere fantasy quarterbacks. He threw for over 400 yards and 4 TDs, and rushed for a 5th to total a whopping 38.9 fantasy points.

In fact, in the Cowboysā€™ 3 games since the bye, Dak has been fantasy QB3, QB2, and QB1. And, according to Fantasy Lifeā€™s passing accuracy tool, Dak is the most accurate regular starter in the league, with the lowest percentage of bad throws and the highest percentage of on-target throws.

Itā€™s making me wonder if the Cowboys could actually be the real deal this time.

DUD QB: Trevor Lawrence (JAX)

I had such high hopes for this game but instead we saw the Jaguars get totally dominated by the 49ers, who needed a get-right game. Instead of keeping pace, Lawrence managed just 185 passing yards, 0 TDs, and 2 INTs. Thatā€™s a huge letdown to Duval County and his fantasy managers.

STUD WR: Keenan Allen (LAC)

How did so many of us discount this guy back in the summer?

Allan now stands as the PPR WR2 behind Tyreek Hill after another stunning performance. 11 catches for 175 yards and 2 more TDs put him over 40 points for the 2nd time this season as he did everything he could to lift his team over the Lions. Unfortunately for the Chargers, they came up short. Fortunately for Allenā€™s fantasy managers, they probably did not.

DUD WR: Diontae Johnson (PIT)

After finishing as WR6 in Week 10, Johnson gave his managers a glimmer of hope that he could return the value they were chasing when they drafted him.

Unfortunately, he and the rest of the Pittsburgh passing game couldnā€™t get it done against the suspect Packers. Johnson turned in just one single catch for 17 yards on 4 targets.

STUD TE: T.J. Hockenson (MIN)

The Josh Dobbs Vikings have arrived!

Hock was a BEAST on Sunday against New Orleans, showing heā€™s still one of the gameā€™s elite TEs. His 11 receptions, 134 yards, and a TD put him over 30 points, giving him 4 games of at least 19.6 points on the season.

DUD TE: Jonnu Smith (ATL)

You could almost hear Jonnu crashing back to earth Sunday after scoring his season-high 21 PPR points in Week 10. Taylor Heinicke and Desmond Ridder were dreadful at QB against the Arizona Cardinals, combining for fewer than 100 passing yards.

Smith caught just 1 pass for 1 yard. At least it wasnā€™t zero.

#5: RB Ty Chandler (MIN)

Alexander Mattison has been the Vikingsā€™ RB1 all season but entered concussion protocol during Sundayā€™s game. Ty Chandler was next man up, and while he wasnā€™t very efficient, he did get 15 carries and was able to find the end zone.

Looking at Mattisonā€™s touch share out of that backfield gives us a glimpse of what we might be able to expect from Chandler volume-wise if Mattison misses any time. According to Fantasy Lifeā€™s utilization tool, heā€™s RB8 in the league when it comes to carry percentage at nearly 57%.

#4: RB Keaton Mitchell (BAL)

Heā€™s another guy who should have been snatched up during Week 10. Granted, he had a difficult matchup vs. the Browns and his volume is always going to be capped by Gus Edwards, but he showed some shiftiness that makes him a decent stash for the stretch.

He carried the ball just 3 times, but averaged 11.3 yards per carry and was able to find the end zone. He also secured a catch. Heā€™s a matchup-dependent flex consideration and if something happens to Gus Bus, heā€™ll end up being worth a few FAAB dollars.

#3: TE Trey McBride (ARI)

I thought the biggest benefactor of Kyler Murrayā€™s return would be Hollywood Brown. Instead it looks like McBride seized the opportunity and became the Cardinalsā€™ leading receiver in the big win vs Atlanta.

This is McBrideā€™s 2nd straight week on this list, and heā€™s appeared on a lot of other fantasy writers columns as well, so if heā€™s still available in your league you need to strike, especially if you have a need at the position.

#2: QB Josh Dobbs (MIN)

Dobbs now has 3 consecutive consistent weeks of scoring right around 25 fantasy points, which is more of a trend than an outlier at this point.

Heā€™s seamlessly transitioned into the starting role in Minnesota, taking the reins of leadership and utilizing the teamā€™s talented weapons to help get them to 6-4 and keep them within striking distance of the Lions in their division.

Believe it or not, Dobbs now sits as QB7 on the year, and is about to benefit from the return of the most prolific receiver in the game of football. This could be your last chance to get a piece of his production before the fantasy football stretch run.

#5: RB Tony Pollard (DAL)

Yep, this is what itā€™s come to. He was one of my summer darlings and Iā€™m paying for it dearly in some of my season-long leagues. In the blowout vs. the Giants, he was only able to manage 5.5 PPR points. Yuck.

But thatā€™s where you might be able to squeeze some value. The Pollard owner in your league is not happy, and he might be willing to do a deal for low-end RB2 or another comparable position.

Thereā€™s obvious risk, and lots of us have sworn him off at this point, but there is potential that with his workload he could regress back toward his expectations, and that could very well pay off.

#4: RB Breece Hall (NYJ)

After 3 straight weeks of PPR performances over 20 points, Breece has come back to earth in the last 2 scoring around 10 points in each. But I still see some signs of life from the talented 2nd-year back.

First, heā€™s averaging over 5 targets per game over the last 4 games and heā€™s catching 4.5 of them. Thatā€™s valuable PPR production, especially when he has the potential to break big ones. Heā€™s also entered into perhaps the most inefficient stretch of his season, averaging just 2.3 yards per carry over the last 3 games. Thatā€™s an extreme low over his whole-season yards per carry of 4.9, and my feeling is that heā€™ll get closer to that as the rest of the season goes on.

#3: WR Marquise Brown (ARI)

Iā€™m not letting Brownā€™s Week 11 performance deter me. It was his first game back with Kyler Murray under center, and that should lead to an uptick, regardless of how many targets Trey McBride gets at TE.

Brown is the overall PPR WR26, but has 4 weeks of over 15 points, which are absolutely serviceable WR2 numbers. When he plays with Murray since the departure of DeAndre Hopkins, Hollywood usually averages over 10 targets per game, despite only seeing 4 in Week 10.

Overall, I think he will click with Murray again and be an asset during the fantasy playoffs.

#2: RB Travis Etienne (JAX)

A pipe dream? Maybe. But ETN had his 2nd-worst game of ā€˜23. He looked as bad as the rest of his offense vs. the 49ers.

However, heā€™s PPR RB3. He still has some favorable matchups left on the schedule, and heā€™s getting all of the quality touches for Jacksonville. If thereā€™s a move to be made, heā€™s a guy to go for.
