Travis Kelce scores in Week 11.

Kelce had a big game in the third-highest-scoring game in NFL history, catching ten passes (on a team-high 15 targets) for 127 yards and one touchdown against the Rams. The touchdown was inside the five-yard line on a little rub route that got him free for an easy pitch-and-catch. The 127 yards are Kelce’s highest receiving total of the season, and he’ll look to keep it going after Kansas City’s Week 12 bye.

Malcolm Brown handles four carries in win over the Chiefs.

Brown rushed four times for 15 yards and wasn’t targeted in the passing game. The 25-year-old is just a handcuff for Todd Gurley heading into the Week 12 bye.

Todd Gurley handles 15 touches in memorable win over the Chiefs.

Gurley rushed 12 times for 55 yards, also adding three receptions (on three targets) for 39 yards. Fantasy owners will certainly be a little bummed out that their superstar RB1 had his most modest performance of the season in a game where 105 points were scored, but Gurley might have either been banged up a bit early on or simply saw his workload scaled back a bit with the bye coming up; it’s also possible that Sean McVay wanted to air it out on Monday Night Football. No matter what the case, Gurley will remain a high-end RB1 down the stretch, but fantasy owners need to look elsewhere for Week 12 as he enters the bye.

Tyreek Hill goes over 200 yards with two touchdowns against the Rams.

There were a plethora of fantasy points in this crazy third-highest-scoring game in NFL history, and Hill was the chief benefit. He caught ten passes for 215 yards and two touchdowns, going over 100 yards with a touchdown in each half, as he pretty much just couldn’t be covered. Hill’s 73-yard touchdown made him the third player in NFL history with 15 touchdowns over 50+ yards before turning 25 years old, joining Hall of Famers Gale Sayers and Randy Moss as the only others to accomplish the feat. With cannon-armed Patrick Mahomes at quarterback, it’s extremely difficult to contain Hill on all areas of the field for a full 60 minutes. He had some questionable punt-return decisions, but from a fantasy perspective owners must be thrilled with Hill in their lineups. He’ll obviously remain a great WR1 option after the Chiefs’ bye week.

Jared Goff, Rams win an all-time shootout against the Chiefs, 54-51.

Goff was 31/49 for 413 yards, four touchdowns and zero interceptions, also adding four carries for six yards and two lost fumbles. Los Angeles and Kansas City basically went blow for blow, as Goff got things started with a couple first quarter touchdown tosses to Robert Woods (seven yards) and Josh Reynolds (four yards) before the Chiefs made their move in the second quarter to tie the game at 23-23 heading into halftime. The teams traded shots the rest of the way, and Goff was able to run for a seven-yard score and throw a seven-yard score to Gerald Everett to make it a 47-44 game. However, after Patrick Mahomes answered to go up 51-47, the highlight of the night for Goff came on the following possession with a 40-yard dime to Gerald Everett for the game-winning touchdown. It was another brilliant performance by Goff, who is on pace for 5,159 yards and a 38:9 touchdown-interception ratio entering the Week 12 bye. The 24-year-old will obviously be an elite QB1 down the stretch.

Kareem Hunt scores in Chiefs’ loss.

Hunt carried 14 times for 70 yards and caught three passes for 41 yards and a touchdown in tonight’s loss to the Rams. The score was on basically a walk-in screen pass. The second-year running back ran the ball well, but this turned into a shootout with 95 pass attempts between the two teams. Hunt has a bye week this week, so make sure you get him out of Week 12 fantasy lineups before firing him back up as an excellent option against Oakland in Week 13.

Patrick Mahomes throws six touchdowns in Monday night loss.

Mahomes was 33/46 for 478 yards, six touchdowns, three interceptions, and two fumbles lost along with six carries for 28 yards in a 54-51 shootout loss to the Rams. LA got a good amount of pressure on Mahomes and scored two defensive touchdowns, and the young quarterback certainly didn’t play a perfect game despite all the eye-popping numbers, but it was another very strong showing and the type of scoring output many fantasy owners expected entering this matchup. At the end of the game, Mahomes had a couple of chances to lead his team to a couple of potential game-winning drives, but the first drive ended on an interception after his arm was hit; and the second drive ended on another interception when he had to try and make a play down the field with time running out. The touchdowns were to Tyreek Hill (twice), Chris Conley (twice), Travis Kelce, and Kareem Hunt, and Mahomes was without Sammy Watkins (foot) for basically the entire game. Mahomes will hopefully get Watkins back after the bye, but he’ll remain an elite QB1 for Week 13 against the Raiders regardless.
