Takeaways:
Jonathan Taylor is single-handedly winning fantasy football leagues this season. He scored 49.6 fantasy points in Berlin on Sunday, which is amazing. What is more amazing is that it was only the second-most he's scored in a single game in his NFL career. Taylor leads the league with 17 scrimmage touchdowns in 2025, the most through the first 10 games of a season since Todd Gurley in 2018. Taylor has been awesome. Here's the bad news: He's on a bye this week.
De'Von Achane will be there for you this week. He scored 40-plus fantasy points in Week 10, too. The one thing that stands out to me is how much more successful he's been running inside the tackles this season. Also, Achane is coming off his first career game with two TDs of 30-plus yards.
Obviously, Ja'Marr Chase is a must-start, but did you know the guy has terrorized the Bengals' next opponent over the years? He's averaged 26.3 fantasy PPG against the Steelers in his last five games against them.
Jahmyr Gibbs scored a season-high 38.2 fantasy points against the Commanders on Sunday. The most significant news from that game was tied to the Lions' play-calling duties, which were taken over by Dan Campbell. And he did pretty well, making sure both Gibbs and Jameson Williams got their touches.
Oh, don't forget CeeDee Lamb is back from the bye. I know we all missed him last week. He returns to face the Raiders, who have allowed the sixth-most FPPG to wide receivers this season.
Rico Dowdle has been great in an offense that has fallen on hard times. He's averaged 27.4 fantasy points in his four starts this season. And this is with a quarterback who has averaged 2.3 fantasy points in the last two games. Yes, you read that right. I streamed Bryce Young last week because, well, the Panthers were playing the Saints. And it was terrible. I survived. Oh, and for those of you who were in my mentions recently, telling me the Panthers won that trade with the Bears, we can probably put that to rest.
If you've given up on Justin Jefferson, you might want to look at the Vikings’ opponent this week. This could be his bounce-back game considering all the injuries the Bears have battled in the secondary. You're going to be fine.
What a wild ride it has been with TreVeyon Henderson this year. I stubbornly put him in my lineup every week this season, even though there was little to no reward. Until Sunday. He posted 28 fantasy points, breaking out with 150 yards from scrimmage and two long rushing TDs against the Buccaneers. Henderson is the first Patriots rookie with 125-plus rush yards and two or more rush TDs in a game since Laurence Maroney in 2006, per NFL Research.
The Packers' offense is a bit of a mess right now, but keep an eye on Romeo Doubs' status this week. He left Monday night's game with a chest injury.

Takeaways:
I know this is a flex column, but Caleb Williams has scored 25-plus fantasy points in back-to-back games after reaching that mark only once in his previous nine contests. Is this a situation where we are seeing the Bears become more explosive? I will say that one of the players on the waiver wire you should seek this week is Luther Burden III. Coach Ben Johnson intimated (not so subtly, I might add) that Burden is earning more playing time. Williams' passer rating is highest when he's targeting Burden this season. Small sample size, for sure. But something worth noting.
