J.D. McKissic gets 12 touches against the Falcons.

McKissic carried seven times for 30 yards and added five receptions for 23 yards in the Monday night loss. After Mike Davis left the game with a groin injury, McKissic still handled more work than Eddie Lacy in the backfield. Right now, he’s the safest fantasy option of everyone in Seattle’s backfield, but he’s still not a reliable option in lineups yet.

Kerwynn Williams gets two touches in Week 11.

Williams carried once for nine yards and added one reception for nine yards. He’s not a fantasy option behind Adrian Peterson in Arizona’s backfield.

Aaron Jones is facing a marijuana charge.

According to Michael Cohen of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, Jones faces “several charges” for an October 1st arrest in which he admitted to smoking marijuana. Obviously, this shows some terrible judgment by the rookie running back, and it’s possible he faces discipline from the league. Jones is currently still out at least a couple more weeks with an MCL injury.

Texans limit Adrian Peterson in Week 11.

Peterson had no room to run against Houston, as he was basically hit in the backfield on every attempt. AD carried 14 times for 26 yards and added a 13-yard reception in the loss. In Week 12, the Jaguars are likely to try a similar tactic that’s worked against the Cardinals over the last two games—stopping Adrian Peterson to make the pass offense beat you. Consider Peterson a FLEX option in that matchup.

Russell Wilson totals three touchdowns but Falcons defeat the Seahawks.

The game didn’t start off well for Wilson, as he threw what appeared to just be a very inaccurate pass over the middle that was picked off by Desmond Trufant. And he did have another turnover later in the half on a sack fumble that was recovered for a touchdown, but after that he played very well. Wilson was 26/42 for 258 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception and a lost fumble, and carried seven times for 86 yards and a touchdown. Wilson’s first touchdown throw was on yet another high-point throw to Jimmy Graham in the end zone, a play that’s become one of the most effective in the NFL this season; and the second was to a wide-open Doug Baldwin over the middle for 29 yards late in the game. The rushing touchdown was on a play-action rollout at the goal line. Averaging 26.2 fantasy points over his last five games, Wilson will be an elite QB1 against the 49ers next week.

Blaine Gabbert throws three touchdowns in first start with the Cardinals.

Gabbert had an excellent first three quarters in his first start with Arizona, but he threw two late interceptions to seal the game for the Texans. Overall, Gabbert was 22/34 for 257 yards, three touchdowns, two interceptions, and 13 yards rushing (on three attempts). He showed the ability that made him a first round selection back in 2011, as he made a great back-shoulder throw to Larry Fitzgerald for a touchdown before hitting tight end Ricky Seals-Jones for a couple of scores. Even if Drew Stanton gets to 100% soon, the Cardinals might want to continue starting Gabbert to see what they have in 2018 and beyond.

Greg Olsen is back for the Panthers.

After dealing with a broken foot that sidelined him since Week 2, Olsen is back practicing with the team today. He has yet to be activated off Injured Reserve, but the Panthers don’t need to do that until later in the week. If you’ve kept Olsen on your fantasy team all this time, you can immediately insert him into your lineup as a very good TE1 option, even in his first game back. If he happens to be available in your league, he’s worth an immediate pickup even if you’re set at tight end.
