Colts QB Anthony Richardson has been announced as the starter by HC Shane Steichen. After spending two weeks as the back-up to QB Joe Flacco, Richardson is back in the starting role. The Colts are currently 4-6 and in desperation mode to get back into the playoff hunt in the AFC
Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence (shoulder) won't play vs. the Lions this weekend, HC Doug Pederson said Wednesday. Jacksonville gets a Week 12 bye, so perhaps we see Lawrence again in Week 13. But he's reportedly considering season-ending surgery on his injured left shoulder. Lawrence has no reason to rush back to the soon-to-be 2-9 Jags. QB Mac Jones gets another start on Sunday after an ugly Week 10: 111 yards, 0 TDs, and 2 INTs. That came against a tough Vikings defense, but this weekend's matchup against the Lions isn't much easier. Jones isn't a recommended play in any format and makes Jacksonville's skill-position players tough to trust.
Texans WR Nico Collins (hamstring) is expected to practice all week and play against the Cowboys on Monday night, according to insider Aaron Wilson. "He's 100 percent ready to go," a source told Wilson. Collins was seemingly close to playing against the Lions this past week, but the Texans played it safe with his return. We'll look for further updates on his status, but we're tentatively expecting Collins to play something close to his usual role against the Cowboys. He sits high in the Week 11 WR Rankings.
Dolphins WR Tyreek Hill told ESPN's Lisa Salters that he's been playing through a torn ligament in his wrist. It's been an issue since training camp, Hill said, but worsened when he was detained by police the morning of Week 1. Hill was a game-time decision for Week 10 but wound up playing a normal 87% of Miami's offensive snaps. He finished with just three catches on four targets for 16 yards and a score, but it's tough to know how big a factor the wrist was. Hill remains a must-start in fantasy lineups for now. We'll continue to keep an eye on the wrist and his role in Miami's offense.
Commanders K Austin Seibert (hip) remained sidelined for Tuesday's practice. He's not looking like a good bet to kick vs. the Eagles on Thursday night. Make sure you have an alternative lined up if your waivers run tonight. K Zane Gonzalez made both of his FGs and all three XPs filling in for Seibert last week.
Commanders RB Brian Robinson (hamstring) got in a limited practice on Tuesday. He said afterward that he believes he has a "great chance" to play vs. the Eagles on Thursday night. We'll see how he's listed on the final injury report tomorrow. With the Commanders 3.5-point underdogs, Robinson will be just a RB3 if he ends up playing.
The Raiders are expected to start QB Desmond Ridder vs. the Dolphins this weekend, according to The Athletic's Vic Tafur. The news is buried in an article about the general state of the Raiders -- and we haven't seen it reported anywhere else. But we'll go with it for now.
Rams RB Kyren Williams rushed 15 times for 62 yards and caught 5 balls for 20 yards in Monday’s loss to Miami. After notching a seven-game scoring streak to open the year, Williams has now gone two straight matchups without a TD.
The Chiefs are planning to designate RB Isiah Pacheco (leg) to return from IR this week, according to insider Jordan Schultz. That means Pacheco will get back on the practice field, although we're still not expecting him to play against the Bills on Sunday coming off a lengthy layoff. NFL Network's Ian Rapoport said about a week ago that Pacheco was targeting a late-November return, which would be Week 12 or 13. He seems on track for that. Pacheco might be a risky fantasy start in his first game back, but expect him to quickly re-establish himself as at least a weekly RB2.
Dolphins RB Raheem Mostert didn’t receive a carry in Monday’s upset win over the Rams. He played just 15% of the snaps and ran a route on 7 of his 8 total snaps. Previously, Mostert saw 6+ carries in each game.
49ers HC Kyle Shanahan said Monday that TE George Kittle came out of the win over the Bucs with "hamstring irritation." Shanahan added, "so we’ll see how the week goes with him, and how he feels on Wednesday." We'll keep you updated on Kittle's status throughout the week. There's not another TE in San Francisco worth adding to fantasy rosters.
Chargers Edge Khalil Mack was active for Sunday's win over the Titans ... but only barely. He managed just 4 snaps after entering the contest questionable with a groin injury.
Jerry Jones confirmed on his weekly radio spot Tuesday that QB Dak Prescott will have season-ending surgery on his injured hamstring Wednesday.
The Bears are firing OC Shane Waldron, according to multiple reports. He'll be replaced by passing-game coordinator Thomas Brown.
Dolphins WR Tyreek Hill (wrist) will be active for tonight's game vs. the Rams, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Hill was reportedly a true game-time decision for this one after missing practice on Friday and Saturday. But he looked "fully healthy" in pregame warmups, per NFL Network's Taylor Bisciotti. Hill certainly comes with a lower floor than usual tonight. But if you were waiting on him, get him into fantasy lineups.
HC Sean McDermott announced Monday that the Bills are opening the 21-day practice window for LB Matt Milano. The veteran tore his left biceps in August. Buffalo will now have three weeks to decide whether to activate him or end his season.
Chargers RB Gus Edwards (ankle) rushed 10 times for 55 yards in his first game action since Week 4. He was out-snapped by J.K. Dobbins, 39-14, and out-carried by 5.
Bills HC Sean McDermott told reporters Monday that WR Keon Coleman won't play Sunday against the Chiefs. That'll be the second straight missed game for Coleman. We'll see about his status on the other side of the Week 12 bye. ESPN's Adam Schefter added that WR Amari Cooper "is progressing." We'll see about Cooper's status as the week goes.
Packers RB MarShawn Lloyd (ankle) is expected to be designated to return and practice this week, according to The Athletic's Matt Schneidman. Lloyd has been dealing with injuries since the summer and has played just 10 snaps so far this season. If the rookie can get and stay healthy, he still has a chance to ascend to the No. 2 spot on Green Bay's depth chart, but he has work to do to get there. For now, Lloyd is only worth stashing in deep fantasy leagues.
Bengals HC Zac Taylor labeled WR Tee Higgins (quad) "day to day." Higgins participated in Monday's walkthrough, although Taylor said not to read too much into that. Still, between today's news and Taylor previously saying Higgins was close to playing in Thursday night's game vs. the Ravens, it looks like Higgins is nearing a return. We're tentatively projecting him to play vs. the Chargers on Sunday but will keep you updated on his status throughout the week.
