Fantasy Football Takeaways: Chargers' Struggles Linked to Joe Alt's Absence; Chiefs' Offense Passive with Rashee Rice

Week 11 analysis highlights significant trends, including the Los Angeles Chargers' offensive struggles, particularly in the passing game, being directly linked to the season-ending ankle injury of left tackle Joe Alt. Without Alt, their Pass EPA per play drops from 1st to 30th. The Kansas City Chiefs' offense appears more passive when Rashee Rice is on the field, with Patrick Mahomes throwing shorter passes and scrambling less, though his interception rate increases. George Pickens is recognized as a top receiver, excelling for the Cowboys. Kirk Cousins is expected to start for the Falcons after Michael Penix Jr.'s season-ending knee injury. Sam Darnold's struggles against the Rams are noted, with a blueprint laid out for stopping Seattle's offense. RJ Harvey's fantasy performance was a "dud" despite decent usage, while Sean Tucker is highlighted for his recent production. Shedeur Sanders struggled in his debut, and Brock Purdy returned efficiently for the 49ers.
