The Panthers, Texans, and Broncos have already settled on their new head coaches, while the Colts do their best to turn the process into a marathon. As Garafolo points out, a third round of interviews would be a pared-down list of finalists who received a second interview. The Colts have held second interviews with eight different coaches, the most recent being Lions defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn. Interim head coach Jeff Saturday is still considered by many as the favorite to land the position, but with the team appearing to vet all options, it’s possible a new leader in the clubhouse emerges.

Tolbert was able to haul in a long 30-yard connection, and it could have gone for more if it was an accurate throw from Cooper Rush. The 41 yards are the first time he’s reached that mark in the month of November, and even in a shaky wideout room, Tolbert doesn’t offer much in terms of fantasy sustainability.

Slayton and Lock were nowhere close to being on the same page, and anything that was even close to longer yardage fell incomplete. The six targets ranked second behind Malik Nabers’ 13, but don’t let that fool you. Slayton will remain a WR5/6 going forward no matter who the quarterback is for the Giants.

Johnson ended up second in receptions and receiving yards for New York, and third in targets behind Malik Nabers and Darius Slayton. The rookie tight end has a new career high in yardage, and appeared to have a good rapport with Drew Lock. Even if Lock goes again versus the Saints in Week 14, he’s a low-ceiling TE2 for that contest.

Turnpin also added one rush for two yards. The majority of the yardage came on a 30-yard screen pass where Turpin sowed off his electric speed. Amazingly, he ended up being the Cowboys’ leading receiver in a game where the Cowboys were committed to the run and CeeDee Lamb dealt with drops and a possible injury. He’d be a risky play in Week 14 against the Bengals on Monday Night Football.

All five targets — and receptions, of course — came in the first half. The tight end was a safety valve for Cooper Rush and then became an afterthought when Dallas realized that they could just run Rico Dowdle. Schoonmaker will be a low-end TE2 against the Bengals in Week 14.

Lamb dropped three passes in the contest; one of which on a play where he could have run forever if he made the catch. More concerning was that Lamb appeared to injure his shoulder in the second half, and didn’t play in the second half. The Cowboys didn’t provide an injury report, but fantasy managers will want to check and see what Lamb’s status is for Week 14 against the Bengals on Monday night.

Nabers had a long catch taken away by a holding penalty. His long on the day was an 18-yard catch down the sideline that set up a score. For the most part, Nabers did most of his damage underneath, in large part due to the Giants being unable to protect Drew Lock. Nabers will be in the WR1 discussion for Week 14 against the Saints.

Tracy turned an awful fantasy game into simply a disappointing one with a one-yard plunge. He showed off his ability to miss tackles on an impressive 18-yard catch that should have gone for just a couple yards, but there was no running room against a Dallas team that had zero respect for Drew Lock. Tracy will get a chance to bounce back in Week 14 against the Saints.
