2. Saquon Barkley, RB, Philadelphia Eagles: Barkley dominated his former team, the New York Giants, with 26.7 PPR fantasy points. He broke off several long runs and turned in his third 20-plus-mph carry of 2024.
3. Joe Mixon, RB, Houston Texans: Mixon delivered for his fantasy managers, scoring 26.4 PPR fantasy points despite his team’s loss. He continues to get the football regularly in scoring position.
4. Kenneth Walker III, RB, Seattle Seahawks: Walker scored 23.3 points and found the end zone twice, once rushing and once receiving. He has at least one score in three of his past four games.
5. Jared Goff, QB, Detroit Lions: Goff threw for 280 yards and two scores, averaging 22.0 PPG over his past three games. He’s a potential QB1 in 12-team leagues.

Top Losers

1. Anthony Richardson, QB, Indianapolis Colts: Richardson struggled again, scoring only 8.76 fantasy points. He has four games with fewer than 10 fantasy points in his five starts.
2. Tyreek Hill, WR, Miami Dolphins: Hill had a disappointing game, scoring only 2.3 PPR fantasy points. He accrued them on only two targets, tied for his third fewest in a game.
3. C.J. Stroud, QB, Houston Texans: Stroud had a season-low 5.34 points, completing just 10 of 21 passes for 86 yards. He failed to throw a touchdown for the first time this season.
4. Tank Dell, WR, Houston Texans: Dell was shut out by the Packers’ defense, failing to record a reception on four targets.
5. DeVonta Smith, WR, Philadelphia Eagles: Smith had a season-low 0.8 points, with only two targets and one catch for minus-2 yards.

Injury Impact
