Darren McFadden sees just one touch in Week 10 loss.

It was a carry that went for negative-two yards. Alfred Morris is the clear starter with Rod Smith the top change-of-pace option, so McFadden doesn’t need to be owned in fantasy leagues barring a drastic change. The Cowboys face the Eagles in Week 11.

Tom Brady throws three touchdowns in blowout win at Denver.

The Patriots dominated against a team that’s given them more trouble on the road than perhaps anyone, scoring in every quarter in a 41-16 Week 10 victory. Brady was 25/34 for 266 yards and three touchdowns, as he looked as good as usual while throwing darts all over the field. The offensive line did an excellent job in the game, as Brady was sacked only one time and was given time in the pocket to move and find open receivers. The first touchdown was on an in-breaking route to Rex Burkhead for 14 yards, the second was on an 11-yard pinpoint pass to Dwayne Allen in the end zone, and the third was to James White on a third-and-goal late in the game. New England never took their foot off the gas, and it’s not about putting up stats but fantasy players will take it. Brady will be the top quarterback option in Mexico against the Raiders next Sunday.

Austin Seferian-Jenkins caught six passes for 67 yards in Sunday’s loss to Tampa Bay.

Seferian-Jenkins set a season-high in yardage against the team that drafted him, but New York struggled to get going offensively in a 15-10 defeat. ASJ should be a low-end TE1 option when the Jets return from their Week 11 bye, but it’s safe to drop him if you need roster space.

Louis Murphy caught two passes for 48 yards in his 2017 debut.

The 30-year-old Murphy had not appeared in a game since 2015 with Tampa Bay, but he made an impact in San Francisco’s first win of the season, including a 40-yard reception. He won’t be a fantasy option when the team returns from their Week 11 bye.

Rod Smith handles seven touches in loss to the Falcons.

Smith rushed three times for 14 yards and caught four passes for 15 yards. Alfred Morris was the clear lead ball-carrier, but Smith’s seven touches showed he is clearly ahead of Darren McFadden, who had just one carry. Consider Smith a short-term handcuff to Morris with standalone appeal in deeper leagues. The Cowboys host the Eagles next Sunday night.

Aldrick Robinson held to one reception in Week 10 win.

It went or 12 yards. Robinson isn’t a fantasy option as the Niners head into their bye week.

Laquon Treadwell didn’t catch a pass in Week 10.

Treadwell was in the game and was targeted once on an intimidated pass, but Adam Thielen and Stefon Diggs did almost all the damage for Vikings receivers against the Redskins. Treadwell is just a dynasty league option right now.
