Good morning. We’re arriving in your inbox later than usual today due to unexpected technical issues. A subscriber named Draymond was not happy with our “start Alexander Mattison” call last Sunday and choked off our servers. It’s a shame, because he’s usually so calm and collected.

On a positive note: We’re finalizing in-season giveaways. Thanks to all of you, we have sponsors! We also always have an excuse when we are asked to “help out” and “contribute” around our households.

We want to give away jerseys and rookie cards over the next few weeks, but you can respond to this email with any other giveaway ideas you have.

Good news to start your day: The finalists for the NFLPA Community MVP award for Week 10 are doing incredible work in their communities.

For example, Antoine Winfield Jr. spent Halloween trick or treating with children from A Kid’s Place, a Florida non-profit that provides residential services to children who have been removed from their homes due to abuse, neglect or abandonment. Love to see it.

TRIVIA

RANKINGS

Keaton Mitchell rises to RB34. The rookie speedster has just 15 touches this season, but is averaging a ridiculous 14.33 YPC. HC John Harbaugh regretted not getting Mitchell enough touches against Cleveland on Sunday, and said that will “factor into this gameplan” for their matchup tonight against the Bengals. If that comes to fruition, Mitchell could become De’Von Achane lite.

Amari Cooper falls to WR20. With Deshaun Watson having season-ending shoulder surgery, Cooper’s ceiling takes a serious hit. He’s averaging only 9.1 PPR FPPG without Watson vs. 17.6 with Watson, per @LateRoundQB. With rookie Dorian Thompson-Robinson — not P.J. Walker — starting at QB, the entire Browns offense is a wild card.

Our rest-of-season 0.5 PPR rankings were updated early this morning 👇️ 

WINNING NOTES

Quarterback

It’s a shame the Browns don’t have a backup QB like Joshua Dobbs… Remember, the Browns gave Dobbs to the Cardinals for a minimal return this offseason (Dobbs & a 7th for a 5th). Now, with Watson done for the year, it’s the perfect time to remind any Browns fan in your life of that deal.

Throwing for a season-high in passing yards (268) last week, Dobbs is now 2-0 as a Viking despite limited practice reps and no Justin Jefferson. He’s currently outscoring Patrick Mahomes, is averaging more rushing YPG than Jalen Hurts (36.8) and has as many rushing TDs as Lamar Jackson (5) (@GuruFantasyWrld). Underrated upside for the home stretch with Jefferson returning.

Justin Fields (thumb) practiced in full yesterday and is expected to return in Week 11. Great news for all Bears playmakers, and massive for anyone with Fields making a playoff push. Fields was QB3 in Week 4 and QB1 in Week 5, averaging 31.0 fantasy points over those games and unlocking his passing upside as well.

Kyler Murray looked healthy, was comfortable moving, and the whole idea of “once he’s back you have a legit upside QB” looks valid. He’s back in a big way, per Ben Gretch’s Stealing Signals. From Weeks 2-8, Dobbs was the QB8. Murray will improve on that — especially when you consider that his new HC Jonathan Gannon is a huge upgrade and brought “culture shock” to Arizona.

• Jordan Love might be evidence the PFF grading system doesn’t work? Or maybe he hasn’t been that bad? His 84.3 PFF grade over the last two weeks ranks 6th out of 34 eligible QBs over that period. I’m guessing it’s not as good Weeks 1-8…

• Browns QB Dorian Thompson-Robinson will start against the Steelers this week. He threw three INTs in his last start against the Ravens. Avoid.

• Tua Tagovailoa got a new haircut. He looks just like Drake. QB1 time?
