He overcame a season-high four turnovers to secure the victory, matching his season-high of three touchdown passes.

Brown topped 100 receiving yards for the third time this season and secured his first catch of at least 20 yards since Week 7. He faces the Bears in Week 13.
Jacksonville Jaguars RB Travis Etienne, cleared of his shoulder injury, was highly productive in Sunday's 27-24 overtime win against Arizona. He carried the ball 15 times for 86 yards and caught three of four targets for 30 yards and a touchdown.

Harrison's return timeline is unclear, but Wilson could remain fantasy relevant even after his teammate's return.

Minnesota Vikings' first-year starter J.J. McCarthy experienced another horrendous game, with his performance significantly hampered by the poor play of his teammates. The quarterback's ongoing struggles are highlighted as a primary concern for the team, indicating deep-seated problems that begin with his on-field execution.

Lions RB David Montgomery managed just five carries for 18 yards and three receptions for 19 yards on three targets in Sunday's overtime win over the Giants. He trailed teammate Jahmyr Gibbs by 10 carries and nine targets for the game, indicating a surprising game flow that limited his chances.
New Orleans Saints wide receiver Chris Olave recorded nine receptions on 13 targets for 70 yards in Sunday's 24-10 loss to the Falcons. Despite the team's defeat, Olave continued his strong performance post-bye week, achieving his second-highest target and reception totals of 2025 and generating a stellar PPR score. The 25-year-old maintains a good rapport with rookie QB Tyler Shough, with the duo combining for 17 receptions, 231 yards, and a touchdown across Shough's three starts this season. Olave is considered a starting-caliber receiver with a high fantasy floor for the upcoming game against Miami.
