There's no reason to hold Hillman at this point, as he'll be in an RBBC even when he does return.

STL - RB Tre Mason hits century mark
Source: The Associated Press
St. Louis Rams RB Tre Mason carried 29 times for 113 yards in Week 11 against the Denver Broncos, the most against the Broncos rush defense this season. It was Mason's first career 100-yard rushing game, too.
[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]
Mason pounded away at a Broncos defense that is very good against the run. He wasn't spectacular, but like Zac Stacy last year, Mason has the potential to provide RB2 value with RB1 upside if the defense is dominant. Next week they travel to San Diego.

Denver Broncos WR Demaryius Thomas had seven receptions for 103 yards in Week 11 against the St. Louis Rams. It was his seventh consecutive 100-yard receiving game.

Thomas probably benefits more from Emmanuel Sanders being on the field to give the defense more choices to focus on that he does from the extra targets a Sanders absence would shake free.

Denver Broncos QB Peyton Manning saw his NFL record streak of 15 games with at least two touchdown passes ended in Week 11 against the St. Louis Rams.

The seven points were the fewest for Peyton-led team since a playoff loss to the Patriots in 2004 when the Colts had only three points. Next week brings another ferocious pass rush in the Dolphins.

Washington Redskins TE Jordan Reed (hamstring) suffered a strained hamstring in the Week 11 game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. It is unclear if it is related to the hamstring injury that caused him to miss four games earlier in the season.
[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]
Reed seems like one of those players who will never stay off of the injury report for long. Niles Paul was already stealing snaps and targets from him, so you can probably drop Reed in redraft leagues.

Updating a previous report, Washington Redskins OT Trent Williams (knee) suffered a sprained medial collateral ligament in his right knee in Week 11 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Williams said Sunday, Nov. 16, that he was relieved there is no damage to his anterior cruciate ligament, but he is still concerned about a potential medial collateral ligament injury. 'You never know,' Williams said. 'MCL's, sometimes they make take two weeks. Sometimes they take six to eight weeks.'

Washington is going to San Francisco next week, and the 49ers pass rush just got Aldon Smith back. This is bad news for Robert Griffin III and company, making everyone in the offense a shaky play for Week 12.

TB - WR Mike Evans has giant stat line
Source: The Associated Press
Tampa Bay Buccaneers WR Mike Evans finished with 209 receiving yards and a pair of touchdowns in Week 11 against the Washington Redskins. He is the first rookie since Randy Moss in 1998 to post three straight 100-yard receiving games. He is also the first rookie with 200 yards receiving and two touchdowns in a game since Anquan Boldin in 2003. Evans finished seven yards shy of Vincent Jackson's franchise record of 216 yards.
[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]
Evans is just one of the cavalcade of rookie WRs who are leading their fantasy teams to victories. He is a great bet to keep this hot streak going against the Bears, who were struggling on defense until Teddy Bridgewater fizzled out against them today.

DEN - RB Montee Ball aggravates injury
Source: The Denver Post - Mike Klis
Updating a previous report, Denver Broncos RB Montee Ball (groin) aggravated his groin injury in Week 11 against the St. Louis Rams, and he will have an MRI Monday, Nov. 17. His injury might have been the most serious to the team's skill position players Sunday.
[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]
We won't be surprised if Ball is put on IR. The Broncos expect to play well into January, but they might need that roster spot for someone who can help them in their push to win a division that is more in question after a rough day for the Broncos at St. Louis.

Updating a previous report, Denver Broncos TE Julius Thomas (ankle) left the Week 11 game against the St. Louis Rams, and X-rays taken after the game were negative. He will go for further tests Monday, Nov. 17, including an MRI.
[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]
Thomas has had ankle problems that robbed him of a lot of playing time during his first two years in the league, so this is not trivial. Jacob Tamme was the only healthy tight end on the field today, but it is also possible that rookie WR Cody Latimer could be active and see more time next week.

ATL - WR Roddy White reaches milestone

Atlanta Falcons WR Roddy White posted eight receptions for a team-high 75 yards and a touchdown in Week 11 against the Carolina Panthers. In the game, he went over 10,000 yards for his career.
[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]
White is doing well as the Falcons offensive line isn't really giving Matt Ryan enough time to throw longer balls to Julio Jones because they take more time to develop. He's looking like a very solid WR2 play against Cleveland next week.

Cincinnati Bengals QB Andy Dalton completed 16 of his 22 pass attempts for 220 yards and three touchdowns in Week 11 against the New Orleans Saints, posting a career-high passer rating of 143.9 in the process. He credited former Bengals QB Boomer Esiason for a conversation earlier in the week. 'He said, 'Go play your game',' Dalton said Sunday, Nov. 16. ''Get this thing going. Don't let that Thursday game mean anything. Get everyone going because we're talented'. It meant a lot to me. I'm glad he reached out. He's somebody I can talk to.'
[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]
Dalton's swing was the biggest one-week spread in passer rating in NFL history. While it's good to see him regain form, the wide range of possible outcomes makes us queasy at the idea of plugging him in our lineups.

Cincinnati Bengals WR A.J. Green was challenged by offensive coordinator Hue Jackson this week. He responded by posting six receptions for 127 yards and a touchdown. 'Coach Hue wanted me to get back to the old A.J. Be great. Dominate my man every play,' Green said Sunday, Nov. 16. 'Nobody has said that to me in a long time. I took that to heart. I came out there and worked my butt off last week and it showed today.'
[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]
Green is back and he should be a massive addition for teams that survived his absence so they could have him give them a boost as they surge towards the playoffs. He'll be a WR1 next week against Houston.

Seattle Seahawks RB Marshawn Lynch carried 24 times for 124 yards in the Week 11 game against the Kansas City Chiefs. He was stuffed twice near the end zone by the Kansas City defense with the game hanging in the balance.

The Chiefs defense still hasn't given up a rushing touchdown despite multiple attempts by Lynch. He still matched their physical intensity all day and gave the Seahawks a better chance to win a game on the road against a good team.

Chicago Bears QB Jay Cutler completed 72 percent of his throws for a 98.0 passer rating and three touchdowns in Week 11 against the Minnesota Vikings. However, he also threw two interceptions.
[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]
Cutler was better, but a lot of his success was based on his receiver playing much better and finishing his aspirational throws with great plays. The Tampa defense ate up Robert Griffin III this week, but Cutler should still be in strong consideration to be in your lineup against them next week.

MIN - WR Greg Jennings suffers injury

Minnesota Vikings WR Greg Jennings (rib) suffered a rib injury in the team's Week 11 game but will be able to return to the game.
[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]
Jennings still did very little, and Charles Johnson appeared to take over as Teddy Bridgewater's top target the rest of the way. The real bottom line is that if the Vikings can't have a good passing day against the Bears, it might be time to abandon them when looking for options for the rest of the year, even in deeper leagues.
