Conclusion

Any time a TE scores over 30 PPR points, that’s like an RB or WR scoring 50, and this week, both Taysom Hill and Brock Bowers exceeded that number with Hill over 40. The lack of healthy WRs caused all three Saints' TEs to be busy this week. Too many of the Big Guns at the position, including Travis Kelce, Mark Andrews, Kyle Pitts, and TJ Hockenson, had awful games. Fantasy Football analysts were worried about the production of the Lions WRs because they were playing the lowly Jaguars. Coach Dan Campbell bit off every kneecap available, putting on a show for the hometown fans.

The Sun God had the best WR week, and Jameson Williams also exceeded 20 PPR points. The Rams and Bengals WR duos both had huge weeks, too. Jauan Jennings took advantage of George Kittle being sidelined and had a big day. Remember when Fantasy Football analysts warned you about older RBs playing for a new team? That old myth is being put to rest this year, and Joe Mixon and Saquon Barkley are having big weeks again this week.

Jared Goff continues with his vast home/away splits this year, and Anthony Richardson quickly knocked the rust off from sitting out the last few games. Joe Burrow put up another significant number in a losing effort, and with the lack of strength in Bengal's defense, that should be the case for the rest of the season. Bo Nix is showing that the Broncos were right after all in drafting the rookie and putting him on the field right away. Lamar Jackson couldn’t figure out a tough Steelers defense, and Jayden Daniels and CJ Stroud were also posting bad games. Good luck in week 12 dealing with Byemageddon I.
