Frank Gore gets 15 touches in Week 10.

Gore carried 13 times for 90 yards and added two receptions for 12 yards against the Packers. The ageless running back broke a 39-yard run in the loss, and he broke a tie with Walter Payton and Emmitt Smith for most consecutive seasons with 500 rushing yards (14). The future Hall of Fame running back will take the bye week to rest up for the final six games of the regular season, but they seem unlikely to be the final six games of his career given that he continues to play well.

Mike Williams held without a catch in win over Oakland.

Williams wasn’t even targeted in the 20-6 victory, but he did rush once for no gain. It looked like the Clemson product was going to have a monster season after a hot start, but despite entering Sunday with a touchdown in each of the previous two games, Williams has now caught just three passes over the past four games. We’ll see if he can rebound with a score next week against Denver, but Williams is a low-floor FLEX option for Week 11.

Austin Ekeler handles just three touches in Week 10 win.

Ekeler rushed three times for 19 yards and wasn’t targeted in the passing game. It’s been a quiet couple weeks for Ekeler with just seven total touches since the bye, but Los Angeles has understandably given Melvin Gordon a larger share of the work. The second-year back is just a decent FLEX option for next week’s matchup against Denver.

Melvin Gordon totals 165 yards and a score in win over the Raiders.

Gordon rushed 18 times for 93 yards, also adding five receptions for 72 yards and a touchdown. The highlight was a 66-yard catch-and-run on the first possession of the second half, as Gordon caught a pass in the flat and turned on the jets down the middle of the field for six. Other running backs around the league are getting most of the attention, but the 25-year-old star has 1,033 total yards and 11 total touchdowns so far this season while averaging 5.4 yards per carry and 10.0 yards per reception. Gordon should remain a high-end RB1 down the stretch, including next Sunday against the Broncos.

Brock Osweiler throws one interception in Week 10 loss.

Osweiler was 23/37 for 213 yards, one interception, and one fumble lost in a tough environment at Lambeau Field. He was under a lot of pressure and was sacked six times in the game. Now the Dolphins enter their bye week, and we’ll see if Ryan Tannehill (shoulder) is healthy enough to play in Week 12. If not, Osweiler will not be a recommended fantasy option against the Colts.

Philip Rivers, Chargers improve to 7-2 with 20-6 win over the Raiders.

Rivers was 18/26 for 223 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception, also adding a one-yard rush. It was a modest game against the now 1-8 Raiders, but Rivers was at least able to connect with Keenan Allen (11 yards) and Melvin Gordon (66 yards) for scores. Los Angeles will face the rested Broncos in Week 11, but the game being at home should keep Rivers on the QB1/QB2 borderline, and then the schedule really softens up (v ARI, @ PIT, v CIN, @ KC) down the stretch.

Tajae Sharpe did not catch a pass against the Patriots.

Sharpe was battling an ankle injury that had him listed as questionable entering the game, so this isn’t a surprise. We’ll see if he can make a bigger impact against the Colts in Week 11.
