A week after Estime appeared to have taken the lead back job in Denver, he had six carries to nine rushes for Javonte Williams. Estime ran just six pass routes against Atlanta while Williams logged 16 routes and saw four targets. Importantly, Williams appeared to be the preferred backfield option in the red zone. Estime is a hold for now and won’t have much fantasy appeal in Week 12 against the Raiders.

McConkey was taken to the medical tent in the first quarter of the team’s Week 11 game against the Bengals after landing hard on his right shoulder. He would be helped to his feet before being escorted to the medical tent, but proved healthy enough to return to the game.

McConkey appeared to land hard on his shoulder on a 20-yard reception down the sideline in the first quarter of the team’s Week 11 game against the Bengals. He would remain on the turf following the play and was then taken to the medical tent. No word has been passed from the team at this time. McConkey managed the one catch on one target for 20 yards prior to departing.

Sutton led the Broncos in all receiving categories but was somehow not one of the four Denver pass catchers to reel in a touchdown from Bo Nix in his best showing of the 2024 season. Sutton had a 23-yard reception in the first half on the Broncos’ second scoring drive of the game, but was quiet in the second half as the Broncos nursed a hefty lead against a lifeless Falcons team. Sutton now has at least eight targets in four straight games as Nix’s clear No. 1 option. He’ll be a top-24 option in Week 12 against the Chargers.

Allen and the Chiefs went back and forth all night, but late in the fourth quarter, with the Bills needing to convert a fourth-and-two, Allen put the team on his back to secure the win. After buying some time in the pocket, Allen took off past the line of scrimmage and immediately picked up the yards need for the first down, but he wasn’t done. The Bills’ QB1 continued downfield and evaded two defenders before laying his shoulder into safety Bryan Cook to punch in the 26-yard score. Allen was on top of his passing game as well, connecting with seven different pass-catchers on the night, with his lone touchdown pass coming on a 12-yard throw to Curtis Samuel. Allen and the are riding high heading into their bye week, and will return in Week 13 to face the 49ers.

Williams took command of the Denver backfield a week after the team had seemingly turned to rookie Audric Estime. In Week 11, Williams scored the team’s lone rushing touchdown in a short-yardage scrum and was heavily involved in the passing offense. Estime had six carries and three receptions on the day for a total of 25 yards. Jaleel McLaughlin had four rushes for 19 yards. No one in the Broncos backfield is a candidate for a heavy workload, though Williams would seem to be the nominal lead back headed in Week 12 against the Raiders. He had 110 total yards in Week 5 against Vegas.

It was Nix’s first 300-yard outing of his NFL career as the rookie averaged nearly ten yard per attempt against a Falcons defense that has struggled against the pass of late. Nix, who came into Week 11 with just ten touchdown passes, picked apart the Atlanta secondary on underneath passes and in the intermediate areas. Nix’s accuracy on short passes has improved immensely over Denver’s past couple games as his rushing attempts have dropped. Nix will be a top-12 fantasy option in Week 12 against a vulnerable Raiders defense. He had 206 yards and two touchdowns against Vegas in Week 4.

Mooney pulled up with the hamstring injury in the third quarter and was seen sitting on the bench later in the quarter. With the Falcons down big against Denver, Mooney will likely remain out. An absence for Mooney would open up targets for Ray-Ray McCloud and Drake London.

Making his first start since Week 8, Richardson posted a new career high for passing by 39. The two-touchdown day on the ground was also “just” the second of his career. He also conducted a picture perfect two-minute drill that led to what proved to be the game-winning touchdown. Richardson still had several mind-numbing misses — the shorter the pass is, the less accurate Richardson becomes — but he was in greater rhythm in the intermediate areas than we are used to seeing. He found three different pass catchers for at least three grabs, including Josh Downs and Michael Pittman for five a piece. A normal day at the office for a lot of quarterbacks, but genuine progress for Richardson. He was also a complete menace with the ball in his hands, looking scarily difficult to tackle on his two- and four-yard touchdown runs. This was much more like the quarterback the Colts wanted to see before they benched Richardson for Joe Flacco. That won’t be happening again any time soon, it appears. That being said, the Lions are a significantly more difficult matchup for Week 12, albeit at home.

Njoku again functioned as Jameis Winston’s underneath option. He led the Browns in targets and came down with a two point conversion in the second half. Njoku now has 19 receptions in three games with Winston under center for Cleveland. Njoku’s role in the pass-heavy Cleveland offense should make him an every-week elite option. He gets the Steelers in Week 12.
