Melvin Gordon gets 20 carries against the Bills.

Gordon carried 20 times for 80 yards and a touchdown in the Week 11 victory, with the score coming late in the first half on a run from the shotgun that Gordon bounced outside before throwing a stiff arm and basically walking in for at ten-yard touchdown. It was a good sign to see him handle most of the work in the backfield, though Austin Ekeler appears to be taking a decent amount of the work through the air. The third-year back will be an obvious RB1 against the Cowboys on Thanksgiving.

DeShone Kizer struggles in loss to Jacksonville.

The Jaguars predictably dominated defensively against the Browns, as they forced four turnovers from Kizer and racked up five sacks in the game, including a strip sack for a touchdown to seal it at the end. Overall, Kizer was 16/32 for 179 yards, one touchdown, two interceptions, and two fumbles lost, while adding five carries for 22 yards. The score was on a seam route to Duke Johnson for 27 yards. Kizer’s last interception appeared to be a very inaccurate throw that went right to Jaguars cornerback A.J. Bouye. The Browns are sticking with Kizer as the starter, but he’s not a fantasy option.

Virgil Green caught two passes for 13 yards in Sunday’s loss to Cincinnati.

The veteran tight end isn’t a fantasy option with just 11 receptions on the season. Denver travels to Oakland next week.

Wendell Smallwood is inactive tonight.

Though he was active in Jay Ajayi’s first game with the Eagles back in Week 9, Smallwood is now out of the lineup because of the crowded Philadelphia backfield. This also probably means Ajayi is more comfortable with the playbook and should have a sizable role in his second game with the team. Smallwood can be dropped in all fantasy leagues.

Martellus Bennett caught three passes for 15 yards in Week 11 win.

Bennett has become immediately involved with New England, catching three passes in both games with the Patriots, but he’s not a fantasy option behind Rob Gronkowski. He still looks borderline disinterested at times, which isn’t surprising considering how he quit on the Packers.

James O’Shaugnessy catches one pass against the Browns.

O’Shaughnessy gained 12 yards on his lone target of the game. He doesn’t get enough volume to be a recommended fantasy option.

Michael Crabtree leads team in receiving on Sunday.

Crabtree caught six passes for 51 yards as he battled with Stephon Gilmore for much of the afternoon in Mexico City. He was also able to convert a two-point conversion, but it didn’t mean much in a 33-8 loss. Despite their struggles, Crabtree might be best left on the bench against Denver in Week 12.
