Loveland is getting it going

We have just two more weeks to get through before the byes are finished. That should be a welcome sight for many fantasy owners, not having to deal with those anymore. But if you have a few more byes to figure out, we have some options for you to consider this week.

Here are some players to consider grabbing this week. . . . .

QUARTERBACK

Michael Penix, Falcons (45.5% owned). Penix scored 24.95 fantasy points in Week 9, his second highest total of the season. He has three games this year with 22-plus fantasy points. He has been erratic with his play but always capable of the big game any given week. He also has games with the Colts, Saints and Jets in the coming weeks, making him an intriguing streamer.

Marcus Mariota, Commanders (15.9% owned). The injury to Jayden Daniels likely puts Mariota in the starting lineup for the Commanders for the rest of the season. He has some spot start appeal in that role. Mariota already has a game with 23.35 fantasy points this season. He is a bit of a dual threat that has a decent floor in this offense. Mariota will be worth using in the right matchup.

RUNNING BACK

Terrell Jennings, Patriots (1.0% owned). Jennings got his most work of the season with Rhamondre Stevenson, almost splitting the work with TreVeyon Henderson. Jennings ran 11 times for 35 yards and a touchdown. Jennings will have some value as long as Stevenson is sidelined. He is likely to get double-digit touches in this offense.

Britain Brown, Bears (0.0% owned). Brown got his first work of the season and served as the top backup for the Bears because of injury. He looked pretty good, rushing five times for 37 yards and a touchdown. He will have a little fantasy value if the Bears remain banged up at running back this week.

Devin Singletary, Giants (15.9% owned). Singletary was the most productive Giants back last week with Cam Skattebo out. Singletary ran eight times for 43 yards and caught two passes for eight yards. The Giants are likely to split the work at running back going forward, but one of these guys could emerge if they play well. At this point, it might be Singletary that ends up getting the most work for New York.

WIDE RECEIVER

Demario Douglas, Patriots (8.1% owned). Douglas had his first 100-yard game of the season last week. He had four receptions for 100 yards and a touchdown, giving him scores two of four games. And with Kayshon Boutte hurt in the Week 9 game, Douglas could be setup for some more work going forward. He might be worth grabbing in deeper formats.

Olamide Zaccheaus, Bears (2.8% owned). Zaccheaus has 13 receptions his last two games. He scored his first touchdown of the season last week. He has double-digit receptions two straight. With the Bears a bit banged up at receiver, Zaccheaus is getting more looks and taking advantage.

Alex Pierce, Colts (48.6% owned). Pierce had his first 100-yard game of the season in Week 9, catching six passes for 115 yards. He has 14-plus fantasy points two of three games. He has at least 69 yards three straight. Pierce continues to make big plays in the Colts passing game on about a weekly basis.

Parker Washington, Jaguars (11.2% owned). Washington had eight receptions for 90 yards on nine targets in Week 9. He has been targeted 19 times the last two games. With Travis Hunter out, Washington might be setup for a few more targets and snaps on the field. He has some value going forward, especially if last week is any indication of his potential in this offense.

Tory Horton, Seahawks (21.0% owned). Horton got the chance to start last week with Cooper Kupp out and took advantage, catching four passes for 48 yards and two touchdowns. His strong play might earn him some more playing time going forward - even when Kupp returns to the lineup. Horton could be worth adding for receiver-needy fantasy teams. He certainly has big-play potential, having five touchdowns on just 13 receptions.

TIGHT END

Juwan Johnson, Saints (52.0% owned). Johnson scored his second touchdown of the season last week. He had 12.1 fantasy points, giving him double-digit fantasy points three straight games. He got plenty of looks from new starting quarterback Tyler Shough, which is encouraging for Johnson going forward.

Colston Loveland, Bears (37.0% owned). Loveland had his best game as a pro last week, finishing with six receptions for 118 yards and two touchdowns. He has at least three receptions three straight games. Fellow tight end Cole Kmet returned from injury but got hurt once again. Loveland should keep playing a big role in this offense going forward.
