Dak Prescott

DAL Quarterback #4

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said Dak Prescott (hamstring) will undergo surgery and is out for the remainder of the season.

Prescott’s recovery time is expected to be about three months after his procedure to repair a partial avulsion of the hamstring tendon. Prescott and the team sought several medical opinions over the past week but were left with no choice but to go the surgical route. The Cowboys’ season is over, and with it, the Mike McCarthy era has likely reached its end. Some combination of Trey Lance and Cooper Rush will fill in for Prescott as Dallas plays out the stretch. Lance could have some deep league appeal due to his rushing. CeeDee Lamb, who caught six of 10 targets for 21 yards in Week 10 against the Eagles, becomes a borderline WR2 option with Prescott out.
Shane Waldron

FA Offensive Coordinator

Bears fired offensive coordinator Shane Waldron.

Thomas Brown, the Panthers’ former offensive coordinator, will take over play calling duties in Chicago. A year after flaming out as Seattle’s OC, Waldron couldn’t make it through one season with the Bears. Stacked with as much wide receivers talent as any team in the league along with No. 1 overall pick Caleb Williams, Waldron’s offense ranked 31st in yards, with a meager nine touchdowns through Week 10. Chicago has the league’s fifth lowest offensive success rate heading into Week 11, and Williams has been the most inaccurate QB in football since the middle of October. The Bears are set to clean house following the season in an effort to save Williams from being one of the biggest draft busts in NFL history. It would be shocking to see Waldron get another OC job in the NFL.
Cooper Kupp

LAR Wide Receiver #10

Cooper Kupp caught all seven targets for 80 yards in the Rams’ Week 10 loss to the Dolphins.

Kupp’s seven looks paled in comparison to the 14 of Puka Nacua, with the talented second-year receiver now finally healthy after multiple injury scares with his knee. Even so, Kupp made numerous key catches to move the football as quarterback Matthew Stafford’s preferred intermediate target. The Rams struggled in the red zone and were held out of the end zone for only the second time with Stafford under center, capping Kupp’s fantasy upside in the process. Kupp will look to get back in the scoring column in Week 11 when the Rams travel to face the Patriots.
Puka Nacua

LAR Wide Receiver #17

Puka Nacua caught 9-of-14 targets for 98 yards in the Rams’ Week 10 loss to the Dolphins.

Nacua returned from injury to a subdued role in Week 8 before banging his injured knee on the ground in practice ahead of Week 9. He would ultimately suit up in that game but was swiftly ejected for throwing a punch, making the 14-target performance a week later soothing to fantasy managers that have missed his presence in their rosters this season. Two miscues from quarterback Matthew Stafford in the red zone could have made Nacua’s night that much bigger, but both passes ultimately fell incomplete as the Rams failed to score a touchdown for only the second time during Stafford’s career with the team. Up next for Nacua and the Rams is a much more forgiving Patriots team in Week 11.
Kyren Williams

LAR Running Back #23

Kyren Williams rushed 15 times for 61 yards in the Rams’ Week 10 loss to the Dolphins, adding 20 yards on five receptions.

Williams continued to garner one of the most robust running back roles in the league but went the way of the team, largely struggling to find room against a reinvigorated Dolphins defense. The team also struggled mightily in the red zone and failed to score an offensive touchdown for only the second time with Matthew Stafford under center. Fantasy managers can take solace in the fact that Williams’ robust role should make performances like this one few and far between, even though that doesn’t help ease the pain for those counting on his production in Week 10. Williams could find better success against another AFC East opponent in the Patriots in Week 11.
Matthew Stafford

LAR Quarterback #9

Matthew Stafford completed 32-of-46 passes for 293 yards and one interception in the Rams’ 23-15, Week 10 loss to the Dolphins.

Stafford led an offense that failed to score a touchdown for only the second time in his career with the Rams, struggling to move the football against a reinvigorated Dolphins defense that got numerous key defenders back from injury ahead of their Week 10 meeting. They would also clearly struggle in the red zone, leading to five field goals on six attempts for kicker Joshua Karty. Stafford’s lone interception came on a tipped pass near the end of the first quarter with the team down 10-0, setting the tone for the remainder of the game. With the loss, the Rams fall to 4-5 and suddenly find themselves 1.5 games back from the division lead with eight games remaining to play. The Rams travel to Foxboro to face the Patriots in Week 11.
Jaylen Waddle

MIA Wide Receiver #17

Jaylen Waddle caught 3-of-6 targets for 57 yards in the Dolphins’ Week 10 win over the Rams.

Two of Waddle’s three grabs came on the team’s opening drive, a possession that led to only the second first-drive touchdown for the Dolphins this season on a Malik Washington 18-yard rush on a jet sweep. Waddle would add just one more catch for two yards the rest of the way while the Dolphins transitioned into game management mode with the Rams struggling to put points on the board. Waddle’s next chance to return viable counting stats comes in Week 11 when the Dolphins play host to the Raiders.
Tyreek Hill

MIA Wide Receiver #10

Tyreek Hill caught 3-of-4 targets for 16 yards and a touchdown in the Dolphins’ Week 10 win over the Rams.

Hill came into Monday listed as questionable and appeared to be a true game-time decision following consecutive missed practices with a wrist injury to end the practice week. He would ultimately suit up but finished sixth on the team in receiving, a fourth quarter touchdown salvaging an otherwise pedestrian fantasy performance. Fantasy managers will want to monitor his practice status closely in the coming short week leading up to a conference clash with the Raiders in Miami.
De'Von Achane

MIA Running Back #28

De’Von Achane rushed 12 times for 37 yards in the Dolphins’ Week 10 win over the Rams, adding 15 yards on five receptions.

Achane and the Dolphins did just enough to escape a road visit with the Rams with a win. The good news for fantasy managers is that Achane’s 17 opportunities handily led the backfield as Raheem Mostert saw only three opportunities and Jaylen Wright saw only five. Even so, fantasy managers were likely left wanting more as the electric back managed just 3.1 yards per carry and 3.0 yards per reception against the up-and-down Rams defense. Achane’s next opportunity to return to RB1 status comes in Week 11 when the Dolphins host the Raiders.
Tua Tagovailoa

MIA Quarterback #1

Tua Tagovailoa completed 20-of-28 passes for 207 yards, one touchdown, and one interception in the Dolphins’ 23-15, Week 10 win over the Rams.

Tua enjoyed a fully healthy supporting cast of skill position players after alpha wide receiver Tyreek Hill came into the game listed as questionable following two missed practices to end the week, ultimately doing enough to secure a win to take the Dolphins to 3-6 through their first nine games. They have plenty of work left to do to make the playoffs considering the commanding division lead by the Bills in the AFC East, but this was a step in the right direction with the team likely needing to win all but one or two of their remaining games to have a chance at a wildcard berth. The good news is they have an unimposing opponent in Week 12 when they host the Raiders.
