Hockenson had two crucial drops in this one, doing no favors for his struggling young quarterback, who completed just 48 percent of his throws. With six total receptions over his past three outings, Hockenson’s meager Week 11 stat line is one of his best of the 2025 season. The veteran is a distance third or fourth option in the low-volume Minnesota passing offense and probably should not be started in 12-team leagues next week against the Packers.

He drifted in the back of the end zone against zone coverage to catch the team’s lone touchdown, a short one on second-and-goal from the 3. His longest (and biggest) catch was a toe-tapper on third-and-long to keep Houston in possession of the ball ahead of a potential overtime. Say what you will about Davis Mills, but he knows who to throw the ball to here: Collins has 36 targets in the three games that Mills has played the majority of from Weeks 9-11. He’ll be on the WR2 line against the Bills in Week 12.

J.J. McCarthy, who completed just 48 percent of his attempts and was abysmal for the first three and a half quarters, forced the ball to Jefferson a few times, resulting in another two interceptions. Jefferson’s nine targets led all Vikings pass catchers but it was Jordan Addison who caught a late fourth quarter touchdown. Jefferson now has one touchdown catch over his past nine games. He’s visibly frustrated on the field and on the sideline. The Vikings’ pass of pass volume — and, of course, production — with McCarthy at the helm makes Jefferson something closer to a top-20 weekly play rather than a locked-in top-three option. Jefferson gets the Packers in Week 12.

Odunze once again led the Bears in targets but it didn’t come to much, as Caleb Williams missed two wide open throws to Odunze that would have led to a much better statistical day for the Chicago WR1. It was a disappointing effort after Odunze posted 86 yards and a touchdown in Week 10 against the Giants. Odunze and the Bears pass catchers had quiet days partly due to the team’s run heavy ways. Williams logged a modest 32 drops backs while the Bears kept it on the ground for much of the second half. Odunze will be a decent WR2/3 play in Week 12 against the Steelers.

McCarthy was disastrous through three quarters, missing wide open pass catchers and continuing to struggle when throwing to his left. He wasn’t helped by four drops on the day and questionable effort from Vikings pass catchers. McCarthy somehow led a fourth quarter drive that features three of his four good throws on the day. That included a touchdown to Jordan Addison, who had two critical drops. McCarthy, who now has eight interceptions this season, operated from a clean pocket for much of the day. It was unclear how much he was affected by his nagging hand injury. McCarthy had no touch on a few short-area throws and again forced throws to a well-covered Justin Jefferson. McCarthy will be a superflex-only option in Week 12 against Green Bay.

With the Chargers inconceivably down 35-6 early in the fourth quarter, Herbert headed to the showers early. It was, as you can see, an inexplicably disastrous performance, one where Herbert at least managed to tack on three carries for 21 yards. Dealing with a nonexistent rushing attack and shaky offensive line, Herbert just couldn’t get anything going even as the Jags’ offense was nothing special. His interception was a fourth quarter air mail before his benching. Herbert and the Bolts have been all over the map this year, but a common denominator is that they have not been the same without LT Joe Alt, who is now done for the season. Herbert does have the Bolts’ Week 12 bye to lick his wounds before a Week 13 date with the Raiders.

Penix took a hit to the knee in the third quarter and was slow to get up. He went to the sideline for a look by the medical staff and was later seen on the bench with his helmet off. Kirk Cousins has taken his place in the lineup and will likely be under center for the remainder of the game.

Collins suffered an oblique injury on Friday, but the 30-year-old defensive tackle is good to go. His 21 quarterback pressures and five sacks both rank second on the team. The Browns declared WR Jamari Thrash, OG Zak Zinter, OT Cornelius Lucas, RB Raheim Sanders, DT Sam Kamara, LB Easton Mascarenas-Arnold and DE Alex Wright inactive for Week 11 against the Ravens.

Earlier this week, Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said he hopes to further incorporate RB Keaton Mitchell into the game plan. He has an opportunity to do so here with Hill sidelined by a toe injury. Mitchell should be a decent bench stash down the stretch. Bateman is sidelined by an ankle injury, giving the speedy and unproven WR Devontez Walker a chance to contribute. Mitchell does not need to be in re-draft lineups this week, and Walker does not need to be rostered.

Initially deemed “questionable” in the second quarter, Jacobs was ruled out after the half. Although Jacobs made his way off the field and to the locker room unassisted, a mid-game ruleout with a knee issue is obviously always a poor sign. That being said, Jacobs is constantly playing through pain. It is possible he won’t miss any time. He nevertheless starts off Week 12 extremely questionable to face the Vikings. Emanuel Wilson is the plug-and-play backup with Chris Brooks the No. 3 back.
