David Johnson goes over 150 yards against the Raiders.

Johnson carried 25 times for 137 yards and added one reception for 17 yards in the Cardinals’ Week 11 loss. DJ had a long run of 53 yards in the game, as he was just barely caught while racing down the left sideline. He also had what would’ve been a long touchdown run late in the game, but it was called back on a holding call that might not have impacted the play much. The only thing missing for Johnson was a score, as it was otherwise another extremely productive day. Johnson now has 235 rushing yards and 102 receiving yards (337 total) the last two weeks, though you should keep in mind it was in great matchups against Kansas City and Oakland. Still, it’s very positive that the Cardinals are getting their best player the ball, and he’ll remain an excellent option next week against the Chargers.

Josh Rosen has up-and-down game in Cardinals’ loss.

Rosen was 9/20 for 136 yards, three touchdowns, and two interceptions against the Raiders. One touchdown was to Christian Kirk on a 59-yard screen pass, and the other two were red-zone tosses to Larry Fitzgerald. Despite the three touchdowns, it wasn’t a great game for Rosen against a struggling Raiders defense, as he was inaccurate throughout much of the game. The rookie even basically showed up Fitzgerald a bit on one inaccurate pass, as he apparently wanted the future Hall of Famer to cut out more, though the throw looked like it would’ve been inaccurate regardless—either way, it’s a slight concern considering the attitude concerns surrounding Rosen entering the draft. Rosen is not a recommended fantasy option against the Chargers next week.

Lee Smith catches two passes in Week 11.

Smith gained six yards on his two receptions versus Arizona. Smith is more of a run-blocker that contributes in real life than he is a fantasy option.

Jared Cook scores against the Cardinals.

Cook got wide-open for a 23-yard touchdown early in the game, but he was pretty quiet for rest of the afternoon. Overall, the athletic veteran tight end caught three passes for 31 yards and a touchdown. He remains in the TE1 mix for Week 12 against Baltimore.

Seth Roberts catches four passes in Week 11.

Roberts was targeted a team-high seven times against the Cardinals, caching four passes for 38 yards. Roberts notably had a tough drop on a would-be first down. He’s not a recommended fantasy option at the moment.

Marcell Ateman plays well in NFL debut.

With the Raiders hit by multiple injuries, Ateman was active for the first time in his career. He didn’t appear to get much playing time until Brandon Lafell left with an Achilles injury, but the rookie took advantage of his opportunity and played well in the fourth quarter. He caught all four of his passes in the final period, gaining 50 yards to help the Raiders pull out their second win of the season. The highlight for Ateman was probably his 32-yard reception on a deep ball down the left sideline. As we’ve been indicating, the future looks bright for the Oklahoma State product. He remains an excellent dynasty-league hold and might deliver some FLEX value down the stretch this season.

DeAndre Washington gets 12 carries against the Cardinals.

Washington gained 39 yards on his 12 attempts in the Raiders’ Week 11 win. This was Washington’s most extensive action yet, and he actually led the backfield in carries over Jalen Richard (11 carries) and Doug Martin (ten carries) as Jon Gruden decided to give him a crack at a nice workload. Washington isn’t a recommended fantasy pickup yet.
