Steelers RB Jaylen Warren (back) is active for today’s game vs. the Ravens. He popped up on the injury report on Thursday but got in a limited practice on Friday. The back injury adds risk to a guy who already looked like just a RB3 or Flex play in this matchup.
Jets WR Davante Adams (wrist, illness) is active for today’s game vs. the Colts. He missed the first two practices of the week but was a full-go on Friday. We’re expecting Adams to play his usual role today.
NFL Network's Ian Rapoport confirms that Chiefs RB Isiah Pacheco (leg) is expected to be healthy enough to play in Week 12. But Rapoport adds, "maybe trainers hold him out just as a precaution." Kansas City gets the Panthers next week -- a game they likely feel like they can handle without Pacheco. We'll keep an eye on the situation this coming week. RB Kareem Hunt has handled big volume lately but is averaging just 3.6 yards per carry. We're expecting Pacheco to eventually take back over as the Chiefs' clear lead RB.
NFL Network's Ian Rapoport and ESPN's Adam Schefter report that Steelers RB Jaylen Warren (back) is expected to play vs. the Ravens today. He was added to the injury report and did not practice on Thursday but returned to a limited practice on Friday. Pittsburgh elevated RB Jonathan Ward from the practice squad on Saturday, but that's "considered a precaution," Rapoport adds. It sounds like Warren just needs to pass pre-game tests to play today. The back injury adds risk to what was already a tough rushing matchup. But Warren could be busier than usual in the passing game. The Ravens have allowed the sixth most catches to RBs this season.
Jets WR Davante Adams (wrist, illness) is expected to play vs. the Colts today, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Adams is listed as questionable but got in a full practice on Friday. Interim HC Jeff Ulbrich hinted that it was more the illness than the wrist that kept him out on Wednesday and Thursday. We're projecting Adams to play his usual role today.
ESPN’s Adam Schefter writes that 49ers TE George Kittle (hamstring) is “unlikely” to play Sunday vs. Seattle. Per Schefter, Kittle's injury "is not considered a long-term injury," and the TE is expected to return next week vs. Green Bay. We’ll know his official status around 2:30ET today, but fantasy managers should certainly make other plans. View our Week 11 TE rankings.
The Athletic's Dianna Russini writes that there's "no guarantee" that QB Aaron Rodgers will be back with the Jets in 2025. Rodgers has had a mostly underwhelming season so far, averaging 6.4 yards per pass attempt with 15 TDs vs. seven INTs. The Jets don't owe Rodgers any guaranteed money beyond this season but would pay him $37.5 million if they retain him for 2025. The Jets would own the eighth overall pick of the draft if the season ended today. Rodgers said this week that he wants to continue playing next year, and he'd certainly land a job elsewhere if the Jets decide to move on.
Texans WR Nico Collins (hamstring) is not listed on the final Week 11 injury report. He practiced all week, including full workouts on Friday and Saturday, and will play against the Cowboys on Monday night. The Texans were cautious bringing Collins back from this Week 5 hamstring injury, so we're expecting him to be ready for a full slate of snaps in this one. That lands Collins inside the top five of our Week 11 WR Rankings.
The Cowboys added WR CeeDee Lamb to the injury report Saturday with a back injury that has him questionable for Monday night's game against the Texans. HC Mike McCarthy reportedly indicated it's not a big deal, though.
The Patriots released WR Tyquan Thornton. The 2022 second-rounder opened the season with a sizeable role but has been a healthy scratch in four of the past five games. That draft capital will likely land Thornton another shot elsewhere, but there's no reason to believe in a turnaround. Thornton can be dropped from dynasty rosters.
Raiders TE Michael Mayer has been activated from the NFI list, setting him up to play against the Dolphins on Sunday. Mayer has been out for personal reasons since Week 3. He totaled just four catches on seven targets over the first three games of the season and shouldn't be in fantasy lineups. TE Brock Bowers ran a route on just 66% of pass plays with Mayer to start the season, spiking to 83% without Mayer over the last six games. But we suspect that was more a case of the Raiders easing Bowers in early in his rookie campaign. We'll keep an eye on the situation, but we're not expecting Mayer to impact Bowers' playing time.
Bengals Edge Trey Hendrickson is officially questionable for Sunday night's game against the Chargers. Hendrickson followed a limited Wednesday practice by missing workouts Thursday and Friday. The Athletic's Paul Dehner Jr. reports that Hendrickson isn't traveling with the team but will travel separately and is expected to play.
Chargers Edge Khalil Mack is questionable for the second straight week thanks to a groin injury that kept him out of practice once again. Mack missed all three practices last week before playing through a "questionable" tag last week. He made it through just 4 snaps in that game. Edge Joey Bosa, meanwhile, put in his first full practice since Week 3 on Friday and is off the final injury report for the first time since that week as well. He said Friday that they plan to increase his playing time from the 19-20 snaps of the past three games to "about 30, 30-plus."
49ers WR Jauan Jennings (ankle) is not listed on the final Week 11 injury report. He was a full-go on Friday after being limited on Thursday. Jennings is safe to keep in fantasy lineups as an upside WR3.
49ers TE George Kittle (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game vs. the Seahawks. He got in limited practices on Thursday and Friday. HC Kyle Shanahan hasn’t expressed much concern about Kittle’s availability for this one, so we’re expecting him to play. But we’ll look for further updates on Kittle. We won’t get San Francisco’s inactives until a little after 2:30 pm ET on Sunday.
Dolphins WR Tyreek Hill (wrist) is not listed on the final Week 11 injury report. He went from no practice on Wednesday to a limited workout on Thursday to full participation on Friday. Hill will continue to play through the torn ligament in his wrist that might eventually require surgery. He comes with a lower floor than usual but remains very tough to leave out of fantasy lineups.
Colts WR Michael Pittman (back) put in a full week of practice and isn’t listed on the final injury report for Sunday’s game vs. the Jets. With QB Anthony Richardson back under center, though, Pittman is no better than a WR4. He’s finished outside the top 50 WRs in PPR points in four of five games with Richardson this season.
Ravens QB Lamar Jackson (knee, rest) is not listed on the final Week 11 injury report. He was limited in Thursday’s practice but a full-go on Friday. Jackson remains a must-start for this weekend’s game vs. the Steelers.
Ravens TE Isaiah Likely (hamstring) practiced all week and is not listed on the final injury report. He’ll be back for Sunday’s showdown vs. the Steelers. Likely is a low-floor fantasy play, but his return puts a dent in TE Mark Andrews’ playing time and target projections.
Jaguars RB Tank Bigsby (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday’s game vs. the Lions after missing practice all week. His absence makes RB Travis Etienne a more palatable Week 11 fantasy play, although his team is still a 14-point underdog with a week-low 16.5-point implied total. D'Ernest Johnson will be Jacksonville's No. 2 RB in Detroit.
