Nov 29, 2021 3 mins, 10 secs
Mixon racked up 32.3 PPR points on Sunday in the Bengals' 41-10 win over the Steelers, giving him at least 24 PPR points a game in his past four starts.

Plus, he's putting the ball in the end zone for fantasy managers, with at least one score in his past eight games.

Taylor had a fine game after the team began leaning on him late (19.7 PPR fantasy points), but it was Fournette who rose above the tough-on-paper matchup to deliver a 1 p.m.

ET games, Waddle scored 28.7 PPR fantasy points in his team's dominating win over the Panthers, delivering several key catches in the process.

Yes, he has seen an increase in workload due to the injuries to the team's other wide receivers, evidenced by his seeing double-digit targets in four of his past seven games while totaling 66 during that time span, which will almost certainly be a top-five number in the league when the week concludes, but Waddle's play has also justified and presumably locked in that trend.

Yeah, Newton did give you the early touchdown run, but he struggled with ball location in this one, throwing two picks and completing just 5-of-21 passing before being pulled from the game in the second half with just 6.8 fantasy points.

The lack of Carolina's offensive rhythm also impacted the production of Christian McCaffrey, who recorded a season-low 3.5 PPR points -- and he saw only one target in the pass game.

It's only the fifth time in his career that he has played at least 50 offensive snaps and scored less than 10 points, and it's worth noting that game flow was in his favor for the entirety of this contest and he had effectively only one high-level run, that being his 32-yard gain in the second quarter.

Rob Gronkowski, TE, Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Gronk's 19.3 PPR points in the win over the Colts were his highest fantasy totals since Week 2, and he also posted a season-high 123 yards receiving.

With 13 receptions in his past two games (on 18 targets), it's pretty clear that Gronk is healthy and back to playing his role in this Tampa Bay pass game.

The Bucs get the Falcons' defense in Week 13, the same unit that gave up two touchdowns to Gronk back in that Week 2 game.

Samuel, who now has 18 carries in his past three games, rushed for 66 yards -- and two scores -- in the Week 12 win over Minnesota.

And even with limited work in the pass game (two receptions over the past two weeks), Samuel posted 20.8 PPR points on Sunday.

Elijah Mitchell, RB, San Francisco 49ers: After missing Week 11 with a broken finger and entering Sunday with a questionable listing for a game with a 4:25 p.m.

Kendrick Bourne, WR, New England Patriots: Two of his three best PPR fantasy point totals in his career have now come in the past three weeks, as Bourne scored 23.1 points on Sunday, after having totaled a career-best 24.1 in Week 10.

Myles Gaskin, RB, Miami Dolphins: With two touchdown runs on Sunday, Gaskins has now recorded at least 16 carries and 18 PPR points in his past two games

Cordarrelle Patterson, RB, Atlanta Falcons: In his return game from an ankle injury -- that cost him Week 11 against the Patriots and had him initially questionable for this week's game -- Patterson had another near-career day, setting a personal best with 108 rushing yards and totaling 27.5 PPR fantasy points, the second most he has had in a game behind only the 34.6 he scored in Week 4

ET games, as their 25 fantasy points were one shy of the season-to-date best, the Patriots' 26 points in Week 11

It was the third time in the past three weeks that the Dolphins scored at least 17 points from their D/ST, as their good-on-paper personnel finally seem to be making plays, evidenced by their seven interceptions and 16 sacks during that four-week span
