Jesse James scores against the Titans.

James was targeted eight times in the Steelers’ Thursday night win, catching five passes for 21 yards and a touchdown. As the stat line shows, James worked as an underneath target for Ben Roethlisberger throughout the night; and the touchdown came on a nice play-call inside the one-yard line—a play-action fake that helped get James wide-open in the middle of the end zone. The Packers in Week 12 are a difficult matchup against tight ends, so you’re really hoping for a touchdown if you want to play James next week. There are probably better TE options out there.

Jarvis Landry scores against the Panthers.

Landry was targeted a team-high ten times in the game, catching five passes for 42 yards and a touchdown. The score came late in the fourth quarter after he got open while quarterback Jay Cutler was scrambling in the red zone. Landry now has five touchdown receptions this season, and he’s caught at least five passes in each game. He offers among the highest floors of fantasy receivers, and he’s been a top-five option in PPR leagues.

Martavis Bryant catches two passes in Week 11.

Bryant gained 30 yards on his two receptions (four targets) versus Tennessee. The good news for Bryant is getting a good amount of playing time despite his selfish behavior a few weeks ago, but the talented receiver isn’t a highly-reccomended fantasy option right now.

DeVante Parker catches six passes against the Panthers.

Parker gained 66 yards on his six receptions (nine targets) as the Panthers did a nice job of controlling the ball and limiting Miami when they did get opportunities with the ball. Parker had a long of 24 yards on a deep dig route, and it would’ve went for more if not for a great hustle play by linebacker Thomas Davis, who chased him down. Parker has an excellent matchup against Tampa Bay’s smaller cornerbacks in Week 11, and he should be a great option in fantasy lineups.

JuJu Smith-Schuster gets eight targets in Week 11.

The rookie Smith-Schuster was again a reliable target for Ben Roethlisberger, catching four passes for 47 yards in the victory over the Titans. JuJu’s best catch came in the red zone on a slant route where he reached back to catch the pass between two defenders for a first down. Considering Antonio Brown (144 yards, three touchdowns) did most of the damage in this one, it was a pretty good game for Smith-Schuster. He’ll be a good option against Green Bay next week.

Kenny Stills leads the Dolphins in Week 10 receiving.

Stills was targeted eight times against the Panthers, catching five passes for 67 yards in the Monday night loss. With a good matchup against the Bucs next week, Stills will be a boom/bust FLEX option.

Antonio Brown goes off in Steelers’ win.

The superstar receiver had yet another big-time game in primetime, with the Titans being his victim this time. Brown caught ten of 13 targets for 144 yard and three touchdowns in the Thursday night win, as he made great plays from start to finish. The first touchdown came on the first drive of the game, as Ben Roethlisberger drew the Titans offsides and took a shot to the end zone to Brown, who went up for a 41-yard touchdown catch amid poor play on the ball by the Titans. The second touchdown was on a slant route to the end zone that Brown hauled in. And the third touchdown was the most spectacular—a great helmet catch that Brown made look easy on a fade from the slot. So far, this was the best game of another great season for Brown, who with this game went over 1,000 yards for the fifth straight season. He’ll obviously be an elite WR1 in Week 12 versus the Packers.
