Jennings rises as Eagles backs sink

-

These players saw their fantasy football values increase or decrease the most based on their performanc­es in Week 11:

SIZZLERS

uRB Rashad Jennings, New York Giants: Jennings was heavily involved in the game plan, rushing for 85 yards and a touchdown with another 44 yards receiving. It came against the struggling Chicago Bears, but it’s the second week in a row Jennings has received the majority of the workload.

uTE Jared Cook, Green Bay Packers: If you are wondering where Davante Adams’ targets went Sunday, look no further than Cook. In his first action since injuring his ankle in Week 3, Cook was targeted 11 times, catching six for 105 yards and a touchdown.

uWR DeVante Parker, Miami Dolphins: Parker had another big day, catching the game-winning touchdown with time expiring against the Los Angeles Rams. He has been targeted 18 times over his last two games.

uWR Malcolm Mitchell, New England Patriots: The rookie filled in well for injured Chris Hogan, catching four balls for 98 yards and his first NFL touchdown.

uRB Rob Kelley, Washington Redskins: His three touchdowns against the Green Bay Packers were the most noteworthy part of his performanc­e. Kelley had 137 yards rushing but 66 of those came on a busted play as Washington was attempting to milk the clock.

FIZZLERS

uWR A.J. Green, Cincinnati Bengals: By far the biggest fantasy name to go down in Week 11, Green did not score a fantasy point before tearing his hamstring and possibly ending his season. If you listened closely, you could hear the howl of despair across all of fantasy land Sunday.

uTE Martellus Bennett, Patriots: With Rob Gronkowski sidelined, more was expected from Bennett than his two targets in a romp against the San Francisco 49ers. Quarterbac­k Tom Brady instead leaned on Mitchell, Julian Edelman and his running backs.

uTE Cameron Brate, Tampa Bay Buccaneers: After scoring in each of his last three games, Brate was targeted three times in a game in which quarterbac­k Jameis Winston passed for 331 yards.

uWR Golden Tate, Detroit Lions: Both he and Marvin Jones disappeare­d in a winning effort against the Jacksonvil­le Jaguars. Tate caught three passes and lost a fumble on a day he’d rather forget.

uRB Ryan Mathews, Philadelph­ia Eagles: Add Darren Sproles to this list, too, as the Eagles’ two main offensive cogs were knocked out of the game with injuries. Keep an eye on their status for Week 12.
