Despite the win, Tom Brady's frustration with the Patriots is on point

Jim Reineking   | Paste BN

Lamar Jackson brought the thunder once again. The Ravens' QB continues to add can't-miss plays to his highlight reel while also bolstering his MVP candidacy and the Baltimore Ravens' status in the AFC playoff picture with a rout of Deshaun Watson and the Houston Texans.

And the New England Patriots won a Super Bowl LII rematch over Philadelphia to put a dent in the Eagles' plans for NFC East supremacy. But it wasn't all rainbows and unicorns for Tom Brady and the Patriots.

Brady spoke in clipped words after the Patriots offense struggled to find its footing against the Eagles, writes Mike Jones.

This is your one-stop shop for a breakdown of all the action. And to get you hyped up, here's Mark Ingram -- who has proven to be Lamar Jackson's ultimate MVP hype man.

What our experts are saying

Week 11 rundown

Eyes on the (fantasy) prize

Takeaways from a fantasy football perspective for Week 11:

  • Colts RB Jonathan Williams made the most of his first significant action of the season by carrying 13 times for 116 yards after Marlon Mack left with a broken hand. He also added a 31-yard reception. Put Williams at the top of this week’s waiver list. But don’t forget about Nyheim Hines, who will still get plenty of work in the third-down, pass-catching role.
  • The Lions may have found a successor to the injured Kerryon Johnson as their workhorse back. Newly signed Bo Scarbrough led the team with 55 rushing yards, including a 5-yard touchdown. Although JD McKissic is still a better play in PPR formats, Scarbrough should see the bulk of the touches going forward.
  • For fantasy teams with a quarterback on bye in Week 12, Detroit’s Jeff Driskel could be a nice streaming option. He threw for 209 yards and two touchdowns –- and also ran for 51 yards and a score. Plus, he and the Lions have the lowly Redskins up next.
  • It’s taking 49ers TE George Kittle a little longer than expected to recover from his knee injury –- but backup Ross Dwelley has been a serious red-zone threat, scoring a pair of TDs among his four receptions for 14 yards. 
  • Dolphins WR Jakeem Grant did a little bit of everything against the Bills. He returned a kickoff 101 yards for a touchdown, caught all three of his targets for 32 yards and also scored on a 7-yard run. Those TDs are hard to duplicate, but they could lead to a few more opportunities for Grant going forward.
