Corey Kiner (NE RB) $13 Avg

Named by 14 of 15 experts

The week's consensus add, named by all but one expert. Rhamondre Stevenson's knee (a plantaris tendon issue, no surgery, a few weeks of rest) and TreVeyon Henderson's neurological illness, with no return date, leave Kiner and practice-squad callup Lan Larison as New England's healthy backs for Munich. Kiner ran eight times for 55 yards and his first NFL touchdown against Green Bay, and his 4.9 yards per carry ranks ninth among backs with 25-plus carries. The experts split on the matchup: some call Detroit soft, others note the Lions allow the second-fewest fantasy points to running backs. He offers little as a receiver, Josh McDaniels likes to split work, and the Week 11 bye shortens the window, so most see a flex or low-end RB2 rather than a league winner. One skeptic notes his Week 9 damage came after the game was decided.

Caleb Douglas (Mia WR) $16 Avg

Named by 12 of 15 experts

The experts agree Douglas is Miami's best receiver; they disagree on what that is worth. Since returning from a Week 1 injury, the third-round rookie has led the Dolphins in targets, catches and yards every week, and his eight targets against Detroit were twice as many as any teammate's. He turned them into six catches for 70 yards, owns one of the league's larger air-yards shares and ranks second among rookie receivers in yards per route run. The Colts, Bills and Jets come next. The worry is the offense around him: Miami runs first, and Malik Willis's groin has kept him in the pocket. Most frame Douglas as a boom-or-bust WR3 worth a moderate bid, but one expert calls him the savior for Puka Nacua managers and says to spend everything.

Audric Estime (NO RB) $8 Avg

Named by 9 of 15 experts

A starting back for one great matchup, with a hamstring hanging over him. New Orleans released Kendre Miller, brought Estime back from Cleveland's practice squad, and he led the Saints in touches against his old team: 15 carries for 72 yards and the go-ahead touchdown, to six carries for Alvin Kamara. Carolina, next up, allows the second-most fantasy points to running backs. Everything turns on Travis Etienne Jr., still on injured reserve with a hamstring injury; if he returns this week, most experts say Estime's value is gone. One sees a short-yardage role surviving even then, since Etienne is not a goal-line back. Estime offers little as a receiver, and Kamara still matched his snaps. Most call him a streamer worth a modest bid, though one ranks him the top running back add if Etienne stays out.

Emmett Johnson (KC RB) $16 Avg

Named by 8 of 15 experts

The handcuff the experts most want to own. Johnson is Kenneth Walker III's direct backup in a run-first Kansas City offense, and several say a Walker injury would make him a top-10 back overnight; Walker has yet to hold up under a full bell-cow season. Johnson has scored in consecutive weeks, including six carries for 34 yards and a touchdown against the Jets, and has drawn 11 targets over his last four games. The skeptics point out that the Jets score came late in a 35-12 rout and his Week 8 numbers leaned on hard-to-repeat receiving plays. Atlanta, Arizona and Buffalo are next, which gives him flex appeal in deeper leagues. The bids diverge sharply: some treat him as a cheap stash, while others argue handcuffs carry a premium this late in the year and spend real money.

TD

Tank Dell (Hou WR) $9 Avg

Named by 8 of 15 experts

The comeback story of the week, and most of the experts are buying it. Nearly two years after a gruesome knee injury, Dell caught four of a team-high nine targets for 105 yards and a 63-yard touchdown against the Chargers in only his second game back. He drew a target on about 41 percent of his routes and a third of Houston's air yards. His speed looks intact, he ran mostly deep routes, and C.J. Stroud still clearly trusts him. The doubt is volume: Houston rotates five receivers, Stroud's five touchdowns came against the league's only winless team, and Kayshon Boutte also topped 100 yards. Most see a WR3 or flex at Cleveland with WR2 upside as his snaps grow, and one calls him a priority add. Another dismisses him as fool's gold not worth chasing.
