Demaryius Thomas scores in loss to New England.

Thomas caught five passes for 44 yards and a touchdown, which was a tightly contested seven-yard reception with Stephon Gilmore right on him. DT has now scored in two-straight games after not finding the end zone for 13 games in a row, as Brock Osweiler has done a nice job since taking over as the starter. Thomas should again be an WR1/WR2 against a Bengals team he has had success against, including a 6/100/1 line last season.

Matt Ryan, Falcons improve to 5-4 with 27-7 win over the Cowboys.

Ryan was 22/29 for 215 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception. The 2016 NFL MVP started off slow, but he found Justin Hardy and Austin Hooper for scores in the second half as Atlanta pulled away. Play-calling remains a concern for the Falcons, so despite them not having Richard Sherman, Ryan is just a low-end QB1 heading into a road matchup with the Seahawks.

The Chargers think Philip Rivers (concussion) will be able to play on Sunday.

Chargers head coach Anthony Lynn said they believe he’ll play but that it’s “up to the doctors.” And running back Melvin Gordon basically said Rivers will be out there against the Bills. Rivers is practicing on a limited basis in practice, which is a great sign, and now he just needs to get cleared by the independent neurologist for the final stage of concussion protocol. The most important thing is that Rivers himself seems to be feeling fine now after self-reporting his concussion, but hopefully he’s also able to lead his team on Sunday.

Terrance Williams held to one reception in Week 10 loss.

It went for nine yards, which is a huge disappointment after a nine-catch, 141-yard game last week. Williams should probably go back to the waiver wire, but maybe he will get behind the Philly defense next Sunday night.

Dwayne Allen scores first touchdown as a Patriot in win over Denver.

Allen, by all accounts, has been a great teammate in New England, as he hasn’t caught a pass all year and continues to do his job as a blocker in both the run and pass game. So it was good to see him make a nice catch at the front of the end zone on a pinpoint pass for 11 yards. With just one catch on the year, Allen obviously is not a recommended fantasy option—but he’s still one of the 53 players contributing to the Super Bowl-contending Patriots in real life.

C.J. Fiedorowicz returns after missing seven games.

Fiedorowicz was on Injured Reserve because of a concussion, but he was back for Week 10 and immediately received six targets from Tom Savage. The fourth-year tight end had only two receptions for ten yards, though. He could become a streaming option down the stretch, but Fiedorowicz should probably be out of fantasy lineups against the Cardinals in Week 11.

The Browns officially activated wide receiver Corey Coleman off IR.

On November 6, the second-year first-round pick was designated as one of Cleveland’s players to return from Injured Reserve, and now he’s back on the 53-man roster and eligible to play. He’s been practicing with the team over the last couple of weeks, so Coleman should be ready to contribute this Sunday against Jacksonville. Coleman is a talented receiver that’s worth a pickup in all fantasy leagues, but his matchup in his first game back is as difficult as it can get against the number one pass defense of the Jaguars—with potential snow in the forecast for the game.
