Corey Davis gets seven targets in Week 11.

The rookie receiver caught three passes for 27 yards in the Thursday night loss to the Steelers, with his long reception going for 15 yards on a nice sideline catch where he got both feet in by the boundary. There was some bad in the game, as Davis appeared to stop his route instead of running in front of the defender on one of Marcus Mariota’s interceptions, but he’ll learn as he gets more experience. Davis offers upside in a good matchup against the Colts in Week 12.

Philip Rivers is in concussion protocol.

Chargers head coach Anthony Lynn just announced this, so Rivers now needs to get cleared by Sunday if he’s going to play in Week 11 abasing the Bills. Rivers delivered a big hit to A.J. Bouye after an interception on the final offensive play for the Chargers in overtime, so that might be when the concussion occurred. Hopefully Rivers is feeling OK soon.

Eric Decker catches all three targets against the Steelers.

Decker was a good and reliable target early in the game for the Titans, gaining 37 yards on his three receptions (including a couple of first downs and a long reception of 24 yards on a corner route); but the team stopped going to him after the early success. Decker’s role isn’t big enough to be a reliable fantasy option at the moment.

The Cardinals officially signed Matt Barkley.

With Drew Stanton looking doubtful to play this week against the Texans, Arizona is bringing in Barkley as a backup if/when Blaine Gabbert has to start. Barkley spent 2015 with the Cardinals after the Eagles traded him before the season, so he has familiarity with the franchise.

Delanie Walker catches six passes in Week 11.

Walker was targeted a team-high eight times against the Steelers, gaining 92 yards on his six receptions in the Thursday night loss. Walker had a long reception of 42 yards on a pass deep down the middle of the field. It could’ve been an even bigger night for Walker, who dropped a perfect pass in the end zone for what would have been his first receiving touchdown of the season. Though he’s still looking for his first touchdown catch in 2017, Walker will be a high-floor option next week versus Indy.

Packers head coach Mike McCarthy says he “would think” Ty Montgomery has a good chance to play this week.

Montgomery is dealing with another rib injury and is getting tested to see how bad the injury is. McCarthy also confirmed that Aaron Jones (knee) will be out for multiple weeks. For now, consider Montgomery questionable to face the Ravens in Week 11, and Jamaal Williams will be one of the top waiver-wire pickup this week as a guy that could get upwards of 20 touches in Green Bay’s backfield. Montgomery would be a good option in lineups if he’s active this Sunday.

Rishard Matthews catches long touchdown against the Steelers.

Matthews was targeted six times in the Thursday night loss, catching five passes for 113 yards and a touchdown. The score was a 75-yarder on a deep ball down the middle of the field where Matthews escaped a couple of poor tackling attempts by the Steelers before running to the end zone. This was the best game of the season for Matthews so far, and it comes at a time when many expected first-round rookie receiver Corey Davis to start emerge more. But for now, consider Matthews the top wide receiver for Marcus Mariota, and he’ll offer a good floor as a FLEX option in Week 12 against the Colts.
