David Moore catches four passes against the Packers.

Moore gained 57 yards on his four receptions in Seattle’s Thursday night win. He made some big plays in the second half, including a key 27-yard reception down the sideline on a third down; it was initially ruled incomplete but after a Seattle challenge it was deemed the Moore had possession of the ball long enough for it to be a catch. This was a good bounce back for Moore after being held to 16 yards in each of the past two games, but he’s a better real-life asset for Seattle than he is a reliable fantasy option right now.

Davante Adams nears 1,000 receiving yards for the season in Week 11 loss to the Seahawks.

Adams caught ten passes for 166 yards in the loss, as Aaron Rodgers locked onto his No. 1 receiver with 12 targets. The former second-round pick basically dominated on the boundary against Seattle’s young corners, with the highlight coming on a 57-yard reception down the right sideline to set up a field goal that put Green Bay ahead 24-20 before Russell Wilson’s game-winning touchdown pass. Adams will look to reach 1,000 yards for the first time in his career (currently at 953) when he does battle with Xavier Rhodes next Sunday.

Tyler Lockett plays well in Seahawks’ win.

Lockett was quiet for most of the game against the Packers, but he came up big late in the game to help the Seahawks pull off a big win to get to 5-5. Lockett had one carry for one yards and caught five passes (on five targets) for 71 yards, including a 34-yard reception on Seattle’s go-ahead touchdown drive; it was a sliding reception, but luckily the Packers did not challenge the play, as it certainly looked like one replay angle showed the ball hit the ground and moved. Nevertheless, it was a nice showing for Lockett and a solid day for fantasy owners. He’ll look to make more big plays against the Panthers next Sunday.

Mike Davis gets six touches in Seahawks’ win.

Davis carried four times for 26 yards and added two receptions for 24 yards in the Thursday night victory against the Packers. While he seemed to play in most passing situations, Davis appeared to be third in the backfield rotation behind Chris Carson (17 carries, 83 yards, touchdown) and Rashaad Penny (eight carries, 46 yards), though it is worth noting that Davis was in at the end of the game with the Seahawks trying to run out the clock. All the running backs in the backfield are doing a good job, but Davis is difficult to trust in fantasy lineups right now. Tonight gave some clarity on the situation, and Carson appears locked in as the back to own and insert into lineups.

Jamaal Williams sees just one touch in Week 11 loss.

It was a five-yard carry, and he wasn’t targeted in the passing game. Williams has fallen firmly behind Aaron Jones (16 touches for 103 yards and two touchdowns) in Green Bay’s backfield, so he’s just a handcuff at this point. The 4-5-1 Packers will look to bounce back next week in Minnesota.

Aaron Jones scores twice in loss to the Seahawks.

Jones rushed 11 times for 40 yards and a touchdown, also adding five receptions for 63 yards and another score. The second-year back was able to find the end zone on an eight-yard pitch after Chris Carson fumbled for Seattle on their opening possession, but the running game was mostly held in check the rest of the way. Fortunately for fantasy owners, Jones was able to run right past Seahawks linebacker Austin Calitro on a 24-yard touchdown catch at the end of the first half, and he’s clearly separated himself as the lead runner (Jamaal Williams had just one touch). Jones is trending towards weekly RB1/RB2 status, but Minnesota will be a difficult draw in Week 12.

Rashaad Penny gets eight carries in Week 11.

Penny gained 46 yards on his eight attempts against the Packers, including a highlight-reel early in the game where he turned to cross the field, evaded a tackle in the backfield, and shook defenders for a 30-yard gain. On the long run, he suffered an ankle injury, but he was able to return after missing little time and appeared fine for the rest of the night. Chris Carson (17 carries, 83 yards, touchdown) remains the clear leader in Seattle’s backfield as of now even after Penny’s big game in Week 10, so it’s difficult to trust the first-round rookie as a strong option in fantasy lineups for Week 12.
