CHI - QB Mitchell Trubisky throws for 297 yards
Source: The Associated Press
Chicago Bears WR Mitchell Trubisky completed 21 of his 35 pass attempts for 297 yards, one touchdown and no interceptions in Week 10 against the Green Bay Packers.
[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]
This was a surprising day of production, if for no other reason than the Packers struggle to stop the run and yet the Bears seemed to want to throw the ball a lot. The Bears and Trubisky were most effective late in the game but even then, aside from one 46-yard touchdown pass to Josh Bellamy, Trubisky and the offense stalled in the red zone. We saw some things we liked in terms of his development, but Trubisky is a long ways from reliable.

JAX - RB T.J. Yeldon busy as a receiver
Source: The Associated Press
Jacksonville Jaguars RB T.J. Yeldon ran three times for 11 yards and caught six of his eight targets for 39 yards in a 20-17 win over the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 10.
[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]
With Leonard Fournette back and healthy, Yeldon saw an expected decrease in his stats and opportunities. On top of that he, like the rookie, struggled against a solid Chargers front and was a non-factor when the Jaguars had to resort to throwing a ton in the fourth quarter. With Fournette in control again, Yeldon will be relegated to mop up work.

WAS - WR Josh Doctson makes four grabs
Source: The Associated Press
Washington Redskins WR Josh Doctson hauled in four receptions for 30 yards on seven targets in Week 10 against the Minnesota Vikings.
[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]
Doctson does a lot with only a few targets. Prior to Sunday, he had scored touchdowns in two of the last four games and on just eight targets. He and Jamison Crowder had been the two most targeted in the red zone this season heading into Week 10, and we think that could keep up. The low yards makes him a bit iffy but if Kirk Cousins starts targeting him more frequently in general in addition to his red zone looks, Doctson could see a nice bump in production.

JAX - WR Allen Hurns in a walking boot

Jacksonville Jaguars WR Allen Hurns (foot) exited against the Los Angeles Chargers with a foot injury in Week 10, and he was wearing a walking boot on his right foot and using crutches after the game.

If Hurns can't go against Buffalo next week, the speedy Keelan Cole will be an interesting sleeper, even if Dede Westbrook is activated.

MIN - RB Jerick McKinnon goes nowhere fast

Minnesota Vikings RB Jerick McKinnon rushed 10 times for just 32 yards in Week 10 against the Washington Redskins and he added two receptions for 15 yards.
[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]
McKinnon wasn't needed as much in the passing game with the wideouts doing most of the work, and Latavius Murray converted the one rushing score in this one. He has been fading a bit, but probably still deserves at least PPR flex consideration against the Rams next week.

GB - Hamstring injury for QB Brett Hundley

Green Bay Packers QB Brett Hundley (hamstring) suffered a hamstring injury in the Week 10 game against the Chicago Bears.

Joe Callahan could get the first start of his career next week against the Ravens if Hundley can't go. Either way, the Ravens defense should be owned in all leagues.

GB - RB Aaron Jones set for MRI on Monday

Updating a previous report, Green Bay Packers RB Aaron Jones (knee) will have an MRI on Monday, Nov. 13, but a source said the initial diagnosis is a sprained medial collateral ligament.
[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]
It will likely be a multiweek injury. The Packers staff errs on the side of being conservative despite what Martellus Bennett said about them this week. Look for Jamaal Williams to get the start against Baltimore and have a low ceiling.

Pittsburgh Steelers WR JuJu Smith-Schuster hauled in five receptions for 97 yards and a touchdown on seven targets in Week 10 against the Indianapolis Colts.

Smith-Schuster has had two straight strong weeks and looks like an everyweek WR2 start going forward. Martavis Bryant is the third option in the offense now.

IND - WR T.Y. Hilton held in check

Indianapolis Colts WR T.Y. Hilton managed just two receptions for 23 yards on four targets in Week 10 against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]
Hilton has only been a worthy fantasy play against Cleveland, Houston, and San Francisco. Don't drop him because he'll get healthier during his bye, and should be worth a play against Tennessee in Week 12, but maybe not again after that.

IND - WR Chester Rogers hits the century mark

Indianapolis Colts WR Chester Rogers posted six receptions for a game-high 104 yards and a touchdown in Week 10 against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]
The Steelers secondary made Rogers and Donte Moncrief look like TY Hilton on a day that Hilton wasn't quiet himself. He's not a waiver wire pickup going into his bye, but deep dynasty leaguers should take notice of his performance today with Moncrief entering free agency next year.

IND - QB Jacoby Brissett in the protocol

Indianapolis Colts QB Jacoby Brissett (concussion) did not speak to reporters after the Week 10 game against the Pittsburgh Steelers after showing concussion-like symptoms after the loss. He is in the league's concussion protocol.

Brissett has a well-timed bye this week and should be ready for the Week 12 game against Tennessee.

TEN - WR Corey Davis catches four passes

Tennessee Titans WR Corey Davis caught four passes for 48 yards against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 10.
[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]
Davis also had a fumble and failed to emerge from a strong group of wide receivers and tight ends in his second week back from a hamstring injury. He's worth stashing on your bench to see if the rookie grows in the second half of the year, but Davis isn't trustworthy in our lineups against Pittsburgh Thursday night.

CLE - RB Duke Johnson totals 88 yards

Cleveland Browns RB Duke Johnson rushed 10 times for 54 yards in the Week 10 game against the Detroit Lions and he added six catches for 34 yards on six targets.
[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]
Johnson has been a steady part of the passing game and a productive runner on his touches. He remains a decent flex play in PPR leagues heading into a game against the Jacksonville defense that had trouble with receiving back Austin Ekeler today.

NYJ - RB Elijah McGuire involved in run, pass game

New York Jets RB Elijah McGuire rushed for 22 yards on eight carries against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 10. He also caught four passes for 36 yards during the game.
[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]
McGuire was the more active back in the receiving game and he was just as effective as Bilal Powell as a runner. He'll have bench value through his bye in typical leagues (but not short bench), but the RBBC nature of the Jets backfield without Matt Forte is capping the value of both backs.

Jamaal Williams is now the only healthy Packers tailback. For the second time this year, two Packers backs have left the game in one week.

TB - QB Jameis Winston could miss more time

Tampa Bay Buccaneers QB Jameis Winston (shoulder) could miss more than two weeks because of his shoulder injury and there is no timetable for his return, according to general manager Jason Licht. Licht said there is no additional damage to Winston's shoulder.
[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]
Our Dr. Jene Bramel advises that teams tend to let players heal as fully as possible once they miss a game instead of having them play through injuries. Winston might be droppable in short bench leagues.
