Taylor Gabriel leads team in receiving as Falcons top Cowboys.

Gabriel caught three passes for 58 yards, including the longest play of the game with a 34-yard reception. He also rushed once for 15 yards. “Turbo” has been the type of receiver to give Seattle trouble this decade, so he might be worth a look as a desperation FLEX option in Week 11.

Alex Collins will remain a featured back for the Ravens.

Running backs Danny Woodhead (hamstring) and Terrance West (groin) are both set to return this weekend against Green Bay, but Ravens offensive coordinator Marty Mornhinweg said Collins, who leads the NFL with 5.4 yards per carry, will “certainly” remain a featured guy in the backfield. There really wasn’t much question about this, but this confirms Collins should be the lead ball-carrier for Baltimore moving forward, and it’s possible he continues getting more work even with the returns of Woodhead and West. You can safely insert Collins into your fantasy lineup for Week 11 as a high-floor option.

Jared Goff torches the Texans for three touchdowns as the Rams improve to 7-2.

The second-year quarterback continues to play very well while leading an offense that’s been scoring a ton of points this season, as he was 25/37 for 355 yards and three touchdowns against Houston. Two touchdowns were to Robert Woods—with one coming on a 94-yarder on a deep bomb off play-action deep in their own territory; and the other was to Sammy Watkins on a 17-yard screen pass. Rams head coach Sean McVay is doing an outstanding job with Goff, who continues to show why he was a top pick in the draft last year. The Rams might face the toughest defense they’ll face the rest of the regular season when they place Minnesota next week, but Goff—who has 666 yards and seven touchdowns over the last two weeks—is still in the QB1 conversation while he’s this hot.

Cody Latimer caught three passes for 28 yards in Sunday’s loss to New England.

The fourth-year receiver has been a factor over the past couple weeks, but he’s still not a fantasy option behind Demaryius Thomas and Emmanuel Sanders.

Terron Ward handles nine carries in Week 10 win.

Ward was thrusted into playing time when Devonta Freeman left with a concussion on the first drive of the game, and he turned his nine carries into 23 yards, including a long of 17 yards. It was Ward’s first touches of the season, but he did average 4.9 yards per carry on 31 attempts last year. Still, even if Freeman misses Week 11, Ward wouldn’t be a fantasy option behind Coleman as the Falcons travel to Seattle.

John Brown (back) did not practice today.

Brown practiced on a limited basis and it wasn’t much of a concern, but being downgraded to a non-participant for today might not bode well for his status this week. The official injury report for the game will be released tomorrow, so we’ll see how Brown is listed ahead of Sunday versus the Texans—a team that on paper Brown could have a lot of success against if he plays.

Tevin Coleman ties career-high in carries as Falcons beat the Cowboys 27-7.

Coleman operated as the lead back with Devonta Freeman leaving with with a concussion on the first series of the game, and he rushed 20 times for 83 yards and a score. He also added a five-yard reception. The 1B in the backfield since Freeman’s breakout in 2015, Coleman didn’t break any 20-yard runs, but he displayed good vision and elite acceleration that makes him one of the most underrated players in the NFL. Even with a matchup in Seattle next Monday night, Coleman is a surefire RB1 option if Freeman is out.
