Alex Smith struggles as Chiefs lose to the Giants.

Coming off the bye, the Chiefs over the Giants was seen as the lock of the week by many, but that’s why the games are played. Smith was 27/40 for 230 yards and two interceptions while adding five carries for 27 yards on the ground. This simply wasn’t a great game for Smith, though the one interception came on a shuffle pass that was deflected in the air into the hands of big nose tackle Damon Harrison. Smith did have a clutch drive at the end of regulation to set Kansas City up for a game-tying field goal, but they eventually lost in overtime to lose the fourth time in five games. After the disappointing performance, Smith and the Chiefs will look to bounce back next week against Buffalo.

Rod Smith contained in loss to the Eagles.

Smith rushed eight times for 11 yards and wasn’t a factor in the passing game. The 25-year-old was the only running back besides Alfred Morris to receive a touch, but Morris was clearly the lead man and much more effective. Smith is just a weak FLEX option against the Chargers on Thanksgiving.

Damien Williams breaks 69-yard run in Week 11 loss.

The long run came early in the game, and he finished with 10 carries for 78 yards on the ground. He also added a 24-yard reception. Williams out-touched and out-gained Kenyan Drake, who was limited to 14 yards on eight touches, but the backfield should remain a pretty even split down the stretch. Williams is nothing more than a weak FLEX next Sunday against the Patriots.

Joe Mixon gets 22 touches against Denver.

Mixon carried 2o times for 49 yards and added two receptions (on two targets) for no yards in the Bengals’ victory. Mixon couldn’t get anything going as the Broncos didn’t give up anything on the ground, but they gave up three more scores through the air. In Week 12, Mixon gets another tough matchup against the Browns, but he could be in line for another 20+ touches in the game.

DeSean Jackson scores four-yard touchdown in Week 11 win.

He also had a 24-yard reception, finishing with two receptions for 28 yards and the touchdown. It was the first time Jackson has found the end zone in more than a month. He’s an upside FLEX for next week’s game in Atlanta.

Amari Cooper scores in loss to the Patriots.

Cooper caught three passes for 28 yards, including a nine-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter to cut the lead from 30-0 to 30-8 following a two-point conversion. Oakland will look to stay right in the playoff race with a win against Denver next week, but Cooper should be downgraded despite the Broncos’ struggles.

Matt Moore brings Dolphins back, but Tampa Bay wins with late field goal.

Replacing a concussed Jay Cutler, Moore was 17/28 for 282 yards and one touchdown. The score was a beautiful 61-yard throw to Kenny Stills on a corner route to tie things up at 20 in the fourth quarter. Unfortunately, Tampa Bay responded with a game-winning field goal and scored on the final play of the game to win 30-20. If Cutler isn’t cleared for Week 12, Moore won’t be a recommended streamer against New England.
