Brandin Cooks predictably gets behind the Oakland defense in 33-8 win.

Cooks caught six passes for a season-high 149 yards, with the highlight being a 64-yard touchdown reception (also a season-high) in the third quarter when he ran right by the Raiders secondary. New England’s versatile deep threat should be a high-upside WR1 for the rest of the season, including next week against Miami.

Tyrell Williams scores against the Cowboys.

Williams had a couple of big catches for the Chargers, taking a short pass up the sideline for 31 yards before catching a go route for a 27-yard touchdown on a perfect throw from Philip Rivers. This was good to see after Williams was relatively quiet in recent weeks, but he’s not yet a highly-reccomended fantasy option.

Andre Holmes gets three targets against the Chargers.

Holmes caught one pass for seven yards in the Week 11 loss. Though his role might increase if Kelvin Benjamin (knee) is out longer than this game, Holmes isn’t a recommended fantasy option at the moment.

Hunter Henry plays great in Week 12.

The second-year tight end had his best overall game of the season so far in this Thanksgiving win over Dallas, catching all five targets for 76 yards and a touchdown. He was a consistent target for Philip Rivers throughout the game, and the touchdown was on a nice back-shoulder type of catch in the middle of the end zone while he was tightly covered by Cowboys safety Byron Jones. Consider his next opponent, the Browns, have been killed by tight ends this season, Henry will be a very good option in Week 13.

James White held without a reception for the first time in 2017.

White rushed five times for 13 yards, but Dion Lewis and Rex Burkhead were both more involved as receivers with four receptions each. He should bounce back against Miami next week, but White’s stock has taken a hit with Burkhead getting more looks as a pass-catcher.

Keenan Allen stays red-hot in Thanksgiving win.

After his 12-catch, 159-yard, two-touchdown performance last week, Allen was just as uncoverable today versus the Cowboys, catching 11 of 14 targets for 172 yards and two touchdowns. The 172 yards were a career-high for the crafty playmaking receiver, and his long in the game was a 42-yard touchdown where he juked a few Cowboys on his way to the end zone. While he’s been perhaps the hottest receiver in the NFL over the last two weeks, there’s a chance defenses start to try and take him away more—they really have no choice, or he’ll continue to light them up. Still, the on-fire fifth-year receiver will be a WR1 next week against the Browns.

Brandon Tate catches one pass in Week 11.

Tate’s reception went for seven yards, but he was targeted five times in the game. He’ll do whatever the team needs from him, but Tate’s role isn’t big enough to be a recommended fantasy option.
