  • WAS Quarterback #5

    Jayden Daniels’ completed 21-of-38 passes for 326 yards and one touchdown in the Commanders’ 18-15, Week 8 win over the Commanders.
    The Commanders scored just one touchdown in this game, but it was the only one that mattered. With just two seconds left in the game and trailing by three, Daniels dropped back from his own 48-yard line in hopes of creating a miracle. After navigating the pocket for several seconds, the rookie who played all game while battling through a rib injury let it rip downfield into a pile of players, setting up a tip drill that landed in the hands of Noah Brown for a 52-yard touchdown with no time left on the clock. Daniels and the Commanders’ offense got within scoring range several times in Sunday’s win, but settled for field goals against a feisty Bears defense. It’s only natural that their only touchdown would come from nowhere close to scoring distance. It’s only been eight weeks, but Daniels is already looking like the 2024 Offensive Rookie of the Year. He played turnover free football and added eight carries for 52 additional yards on the ground. It goes without saying that the Commanders are riding high heading into Week 9 against the Giants, who they beat in a field goal fest earlier this year. Daniels will be a high-end QB1 in the rematch.

    Rashod Bateman caught 6-of-8 targets for 54 yards and a touchdown in the Ravens’ Week 10 win over the Bengals.
    The six catches were a new season high, while the eight targets matched his 2024 high. Those totals came as Diontae Johnson played his second game in a Ravens uniform. Curious, though Bateman has been consistently catching 3-4 passes all season. We’ll see if he can really keep that up as Johnson gets more acclimated, though Bateman isn’t really competing for the same looks. He also isn’t really pushing for weekly WR4 value, but his floor is higher than zero while ceiling is always possible in this attack.
  • BAL Running Back #43
    Justice Hill rushed two times for -2 yards in the Ravens’ Week 10 win over the Bengals.
    Hill “added” two rushes for zero yards. Not the best night at the office. The only good news was that a returning Keaton Mitchell played all of two snaps. We doubt Mitchell challenges Hill’s change-of-pace status any time soon, but more nights like tonight won’t help. The Steelers are on tap for Week 11.
  • BAL Running Back #34
    Making his 2024 debut, Keaton Mitchell was held without a touch in the Ravens’ Week 10 win over the Bengals.
    Pro Football Focus charted Mitchell playing two snaps behind Derrick Henry and Justice Hill. Maybe he will eventually cut into Hill’s snap share, but it doesn’t seem likely any time soon. Mitchell isn’t worth a stash in 12-team re-draft leagues.
  • CIN Running Back #34
    Khalil Herbert was held without an official touch in the Bengals’ Week 10 loss to the Ravens.
    We say “official” because Herbert actually took a hand-off. He simply fumbled it, with the miscue going on Joe Burrow’s record. It made for a calamitous Bengals debut, but one they probably won’t hold against him for Week 11 against the Chargers. They badly need help behind Chase Brown, and Herbert will be far more acclimated to the system by next Sunday. He is still a dubious bench stash in 12-team re-draft leagues.
  • BAL Wide Receiver #16
    Tylan Wallace caught 3-of-3 targets for 115 yards and a touchdown in the Ravens’ Week 10 win over the Bengals.
    Tonight was the first time role-player Wallace ever caught three passes or scored a receiving touchdown. His winding, 84-yard scoring grab in the fourth quarter was a third down dump-off that featured comically inept tackling from the Bengals. A huge play, but not something that will be repeated moving forward.
  • CIN Wide Receiver #81
    Jermaine Burton caught 1-of-5 targets for 11 yards in the Bengals’ Week 10 loss to the Ravens.
    Back from a one-game, team-imposed suspension, Burton did not cover himself in glory, failing to run out a potential long reception in the first half. His role mostly amounted to cardio. It’s not a performance that’s going to have the Bengals telling Tee Higgins to take all the time he needs to get healthy. Burton will be off the fantasy radar in Week 11 against the Chargers.
  • CIN Wide Receiver #80
    Andrei Iosivas caught 2-of-4 targets for 29 yards in the Bengals’ Week 10 loss to the Ravens.
    Tonight was the first time Iosivas reached two catches in four weeks. He has 39 yards during that time span, extra disappointing considering it’s come with Tee Higgins missing three of those contests. Iosivas isn’t 12-team league relevant and is unlikely to become so down the stretch.
  • CIN Tight End #88
    Mike Gesicki caught 4-of-9 targets for 30 yards in the Bengals’ Week 10 loss to the Ravens.
    4/30 wouldn’t be a bad Gesicki statline were Tee Higgins in the game, but it was his worst box score with the Bengals’ No. 2 wideout on the shelf. That’s due in large part to Ja’Marr Chase taking control of the Bengals’ passing attack and going thermonuclear for 11/264/3. Gesicki almost had a touchdown on the Bengals’ opening drive, but got wrestled down at the Ravens’ two-yard line. Gesicki’s Week 11 status seems as simple as: Start him if Higgins sits, bench him if Higgins plays. The Bengals will be in L.A. to take on the Chargers.
  • BAL Tight End #89
    Mark Andrews caught 6-of-7 targets for 68 yards and a touchdown in the Ravens’ Week 10 win over the Bengals.
    With the Ravens playing one of the worst defenses in the league, Andrews posted new season highs across the board. It helped that Isaiah Likely (hamstring) was on the shelf. The statline is obviously good news, though it’s bad news Andrews hadn’t previously reached six receptions or 60 yards. The fundamental fact of Andrews’ season is that both his floor and ceiling are way off his career norms. He won’t be a particularly appealing TE1 for Week 11 vs. the Steelers.
  • BAL Wide Receiver #18
    Diontae Johnson caught 1-of-2 targets for six yards in the Ravens’ Week 10 win over the Bengals.
    Johnson is now “up to” ... one catch for six yards through two games as a Raven. That does not include falling down on a target. Pro Football Focus’ Nathan Jahnke charted Johnson as playing only five total snaps. This must be some difficult system to break into. We would like to say better days are ahead in this explosive passing attack, but it feels like wishcasting when you have Lamar Jackson hitting role players Tylan Wallace and Nelson Agholor for scores this evening. Johnson will be hard pressed to crack the top 48 in Week 11 against the Steelers.
