Bears make overdue change: It was no surprise to see the Bears finally part ways with OC Shane Waldron. The only surprise was they waited as long as they did.

‌

We're human beings here, we don't take joy in anyone losing their job. But Waldron and the Bears were a poor fit from the start. It doesn't matter what offensive stats you care about, Chicago probably ranks poorly in them. Chicago is 30th in offensive DVOA, 31st in yards per play and 30th in yards per game. There are no fun numbers on this offense.

‌

It's not like the Bears were trumpeted as a Super Bowl contender this year. All that matters is the development of rookie QB Caleb Williams. He doesn't have a touchdown pass over three weeks and he's been sacked 18 times over that span (nine from the pedestrian New England defense). He's been good at avoiding interceptions, but every other indexed metric for Williams is well below league average. 

‌

Passing game coordinator Thomas Brown will call the plays going forward. Like Waldron, Brown is a coach from the Sean McVay tree. Brown was also the offensive coordinator for a bad Carolina offense last year, but maybe that was an unwinnable hand for anyone. 

‌

Until Williams regains his confidence, it's difficult to start any of the interesting Chicago wideouts. The schedule is not fun moving forward. Chicago steps into the division-heavy phase of its slate, with a 49ers game stuck in the middle of things. There are no easy matchups coming.

‌

In other news around the league:

• Brian Daboll has not committed to Daniel Jones starting when the Giants return after their Week 11 bye. Drew Lock is the backup.
• The Cowboys made it official — Dak Prescott will have season-ending hamstring surgery. Cooper Rush and Trey Lance didn't move the ball at all vs. the Eagles. CeeDee Lamb managers need to start him and take what they get, but nobody else here is a proactive fantasy play.
• Jameis Winston will keep the Cleveland job for Week 11's revenge game vs. the Saints. Winston was productive in the stunning upset of Baltimore, but a mess the following week against the Chargers.
• I don't know when the Colts will go back to Anthony Richardson, but it won't be this week. Joe Flacco will start against the Jets.
• Keon Coleman (wrist) has already been ruled out for Week 11's showdown against the Chiefs.
• Sam LaPorta suffered a sprained shoulder in the comeback win at Houston and is no sure thing to play Jacksonville in Week 11. Given the opponent, the Lions have the luxury of being careful with LaPorta.
• The Saints say Chris Olave (concussion) has not been ruled out for the season. He's on IR, which means he'll sit at least three more games.
• Andy Reid believes Isiah Pacheco is "very close" to returning. The Chiefs also might have JuJu Smith-Schuster back at practice this week.

Week 10 started so well, with Baltimore and Cincinnati playing pinball on Thursday. After that, the slate was dominated by unders and underdogs.

‌

So why should Monday night be any different? 

‌

The Dolphins scored a 23-15 upset over the Rams on Monday, but it wasn't a useful game for fantasy managers fancying a comeback. Los Angeles didn't score a touchdown. One of the two Miami touchdowns came on a jet sweep to understudy receiver Malik Washington. It was that kind of night. Here's what you need to know: 

‌

At least the Rams offense was mostly concentrated.

‌

• Kyren Williams had the rare game without a TD and he also lost a fumble, but he absorbed 20 touches while Blake Corum was limited to three. We know Sean McVay is good to his starting running backs.
• Puka Nacua (9-98) was peppered with 14 targets and Cooper Kupp (7-80) caught everything thrown his way. Tight end Davis Allen (5-34) drew six targets and might have a role moving forward. Demarcus Robinson was targeted five times; just one was completde.
• Los Angeles struggled to protect Matthew Stafford, who stumbled to 10.72 fantasy points and things might not get much better. Every defense the Rams face over the next six games is outside the top 20 in fantasy points allowed to opposing quarterbacks.

Miami's offense is still not firing on all cylinders. You don't give back wins or apologize for them, but the offense lacks the extra gear we're used to.

‌

• Even with a TD and a couple of rushing attempts, Tyreek Hill couldn't crack the top 20 on the WR leaderboard. At least he played through the questionable tag, and the score was his first since Week 1.
• De'Von Achane collected 17 touches, but they went for a modest 52 yards.
• Jaylen Waddle (3-57) started fast, fizzled out. Jonnu Smith (3-45) symbolized the frustration of this game, as his one splash play (a 33-yard catch and run) landed about two feet from the end zone.
• The connective tissue to everything is Tua Tagovailoa, and he was mediocre Monday (207 passing yards, 7.4 YPA, 1 TD, 1 INT, 8.18 fantasy points). He lost a fumble, took three sacks. Maybe a date with the Raiders this week will spike things a bit, but I don't see how anyone can start Tagovailoa proactively right now.

The best fantasy managers pound the waiver wire every week. Gotta eat those veggies. Here's a shopping list to get you started. 🛒

‌

Priority Pickups 🛻

‌

‌

Audric Estimé, RB, Broncos (4%): He still hasn't caught a pass in the NFL and there are no parades for a 53-yard game. But Estimé appears to be pushing all the other Denver backs out of the way, and any waiver-wire back with this much projectable volume needs to be prioritized.

‌

Marquez Valdes-Scantling, WR, Saints (2%): His entire career has been about regular busts and the occasional boom, but we can't leave a 3-109-2 game sitting on the wire. Cleveland's defense has struggled on the back end, so MVS could pop again in Week 11. 

‌

Ricky Pearsall, WR, 49ers (38%): He doesn't have the ceiling of Jauan Jennings, but Pearsall is part of the Circle of Trust. He ran routes on about three-quarters of the passing plays last week and his touchdown was suitable for framing. 

‌

Russell Wilson, QB, Steelers (22%): He gets the Ravens this week, and everybody throws on Baltimore. Don't make it complicated if you don't have to.

‌

Packers D/ST (29%): With the struggling Chicago offense on the schedule, this unit is a screaming add wherever you can get them.

‌

Medium Leagues 🥤

‌

Jameis Winston, QB, Browns (9%): Not sure how much longer he starts, but a revenge game against New Orleans sounds like fun. 

‌

Gus Edwards, RB, Chargers (17%): We know the limitations here — Edwards is an older back who doesn't catch the ball. But he's also the clear RB2 on a winning team that loves to run, and J.K. Dobbins managers might want insurance.

‌

Bo Nix, QB, Broncos (33%): His floor has been far more sturdy than anyone had reason to expect, and there's plenty of green on the upcoming schedule.

‌

Quentin Johnston, WR, Chargers (41%): He's scored in back-to-back games and as much as the Chargers love running, the next four weeks present possible pinball games (Bengals, Ravens, Falcons, Chiefs).

‌

Deep Leagues 🔬

‌

Dawson Knox, TE, Bills (1%): Dalton Kincaid has a knee injury and the Kansas City defense has been leaky against tight ends all season. 

‌

Alec Pierce, WR, Colts (4%): Michael Pittman Jr. might not play this week and Joe Flacco remains the Indy starter, so we can look deeper for an Indy sleeper. Adonai Mitchell is also viable in those deep formats. 

‌

John Metchie III, WR, Texans (1%): He popped all night against the Lions, and Houston might still have a sizable role for him even with Nico Collins close to returning. 

A players-to-drop column will never be one-size-fits-all, so season these recommendations to taste. 

‌

Tank Bigsby, RB, Jaguars (61%): By no means a must-drop, but the Jaguars offense is stuck in a ditch, Travis Etienne Jr. is back and Bigsby adds nothing in the passing game.

‌

Matthew Stafford, QB, Rams (62%): He's made it past 16 points just twice this season, and the Rams OL is struggling to protect him. The rest of the passing schedule is a nightmare.

‌

Wan'Dale Robinson, WR, Giants (55%): Five straight games under eight fantasy points. Not enough juice to carry through a bye week. 

‌

Cole Kmet, TE, Bears (59%): Like the player, dislike the situation. Kmet's schedule moving forward has a bunch of difficult matchups, too. 

‌

Mike Gesicki, TE, Bengals (43%): He's had splashes of fantasy relevance when Tee Higgins sits, but the Bengals haven't used him much otherwise — and Higgins likely returns in Week 11. 

1. Chase: Ravens won the game, Chase won the box score (top fantasy score of the year).

‌

2. Burrow: Back in form as the QB1 the last two weeks.

‌

3. Hubbard: Got paid and then validated the check with a monster game in Germany.

‌

4. Ridley: He's proven he can produce with either Tennessee QB. 

‌

5. Hurts: Most bankable QB week to week; eight rushing TDs over last four games.
