After a low-scoring Week 11 in the NFL, let's check in on some popular fantasy football storylines and break down what they mean for the rest of the season
Purdy returned to the field on Sunday for the first time since Week 4, and he spammed the Kittle button in the red zone. Kittle finished the game with six catches on six targets for 67 yards, two touchdowns and a season-high 24.7 PPR points. The last time Purdy and Kittle played together was Week 1, and the star tight end caught four passes for 25 yards and a score before suffering an injury and leaving the game.
As long as Purdy stays healthy, Kittle will be a top-three fantasy tight end.
Harvey took over as the RB1 in Denver with J.K. Dobbins out of the lineup, but he finished Sunday's game with just 11 carries for 30 yards and 8.0 PPR points. Fantasy owners were frustrated by his lack of touches and Jaleel McLaughlin stealing a short touchdown, but there were positive signs for the rest of the season.
Harvey played a season-high 61 percent of the team's offensive snaps, while McLaughlin and Tyler Badie played only 13 percent each. This is Harvey's backfield with Dobbins out for the season, and he should have bigger games against easier matchups going forward.
Josh Jacobs, who ranks fifth in the NFL in carries (169) through 11 weeks, suffered a knee injury against the New York Giants and could miss time. Wilson took over for Jacobs in the game and went for 40 rushing yards and a touchdown on 11 carries, while third-string RB Chris Brooks played only five snaps and recorded one carry.

If Jacobs can't suit up in Week 12, Wilson will be a must-start RB against the Minnesota Vikings. Do everything you can to pick up Wilson off the waiver wire this week.
Multiple star quarterbacks put up fantasy duds in Week 11, but Brissett kept on chugging as a strong fantasy QB. The veteran completed an NFL-record 47 passes on 57 attempts for 452 yards, two touchdowns and 21.88 fantasy points against the San Francisco 49ers. Most of that came because the Arizona Cardinals were playing from behind all game, but that's the perfect game script for garbage time fantasy points.
The Cardinals have no running game and a ton of defensive injuries, which only helps Brissett put up points. He's scored at least 19 fantasy points in five straight starts, so it's time to take him seriously as a top-12 fantasy QB.
