Chargers WR Jalen Guyton (groin) is questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Packers. He was added to the injury report on Friday and limited in practice. Guyton played 79% of the Chargers’ offensive snaps and saw six targets last week. His loss would be significant – and likely leave rookie Derius Davis as the No. 3 WR.
Chargers TE Gerald Everett (chest) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Packers. TE Donald Parham (hip) is off the injury report after putting in a full practice on Friday and is a viable Week 11 fantasy spot starter. Parham posted a 4-43-1 line on five targets when Everett missed Week 8. For the season, Parham leads the Chargers and ranks second among all TEs with seven end-zone targets.
Chargers WR Keenan Allen (shoulder) is listed as questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Packers. He told reporters Thursday that he’ll play through his AC joint sprain – and then put in a full practice on Friday. There’s a bit more risk with Allen due to the shoulder injury, but he remains a must-start in fantasy football.
Rams QB Matt Stafford (thumb) put in a full week of practice and isn’t listed on the final injury report for Sunday’s game vs. the Seahawks. That suggests his right thumb injury shouldn’t be a factor this weekend, although we’d still prefer to see Stafford play a healthy game before considering him as a starter in 1-QB fantasy leagues. Stafford’s return is excellent news for WRs Cooper Kupp and Puka Nacua.
Dolphins RB De'Von Achane (knee) was limited in practice all week and is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game vs. the Raiders. HC Mike McDaniel said Friday that he was optimistic about Achane’s availability for this one. We’ll see if the rookie is activated from IR ahead of the Saturday 4 pm ET deadline.
Vikings RB Alexander Mattison (concussion) is listed as questionable for Sunday night’s game vs. the Broncos. He progressed from no practice on Wednesday to limited participation on Thursday and then a full workout on Friday. Mattison seemingly has a real chance to be cleared for Sunday night. We should get another update on his status on Saturday. Ty Chandler will operate as Minnesota’s lead back if Mattison doesn’t play.
Cardinals WR Michael Wilson (shoulder) is listed as questionable for this weekend's game vs. the Texans. He was added to the injury report on Friday and limited in practice. Wilson missed Week 9 with a shoulder injury and then played through a questionable tag last week. It's unclear at this point whether he's in danger of missing this Sunday's game. We'll look for updates on his status and get Arizona's inactives around 11:30 am ET on Sunday.
Texans WR Nico Collins (calf) is not listed on the final Week 11 injury report. He practiced all week, including a full workout on Friday, and should play a full-time role this weekend vs. the Cardinals’ 19th-ranked WR defense.
Texans WR Noah Brown (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game vs. the Cardinals. He didn’t practice all week, though, and insider Aaron Wilson said Friday that Brown won’t play this weekend. He should be on fantasy benches. Brown’s absence will keep Robert Woods in the No. 3 WR role, behind Tank Dell and Nico Collins.
Texans RB Dameon Pierce (ankle) is out for this weekend’s game vs. the Cardinals. He returned to a limited practice on Friday, potentially setting him up for a Week 12 return. RB Devin Singletary should again be in a workhorse role on Sunday after racking up 30 carries and two targets on an 81% snap rate last week. He’s a rock-solid RB2 vs. Arizona’s 29th-ranked RB defense.
Giants WR Jalin Hyatt has cleared the concussion protocol and will be available for Sunday’s game vs. the Commanders. The rookie has just two catches over the last three weeks and isn’t a viable fantasy play with QB Tommy DeVito under center.
Jaguars WR Zay Jones (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game agains the Titans after a limited week of practice. It looks like Jones has a shot to return for this one, but we’d try not to use him in fantasy lineups in his first action since early October.
Ravens TE Mark Andrews has been diagnosed with a cracked fibula and an ankle ligament injury, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. "It’s still believed to be a long-term injury," Rapoport adds, but the team will get another opinion from Dr. Robert Anderson in Charlotte next week. It sounds like Andrews at least has some chance to play again this season -- although that chance is likely slim. He's worth hanging on to in fantasy football at least until we get more information on his status next week.
Steelers WR Diontae Johnson (thumb) is not listed on the final Week 11 injury report. He took Wednesday off but was a full-go in Thursday and Friday’s practices. Johnson will be ready for his usual role vs. the Browns this weekend.
Steelers TE Pat Freiermuth (hamstring) is listed as questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Browns. He was a full-go on Thursday and Friday, so Freiermuth should play. But coming off a multi-week hamstring injury and facing the league’s top-ranked TE defense, Freiermuth is not a recommended season-long start.
Bears QB Justin Fields (thumb) put in a full week of practice and isn’t listed on the final Week 11 injury report. He’ll be back for Sunday’s game against the Lions after missing the past four. Fields carries elevated risk coming off the throwing-thumb injury. But the full practices are encouraging. And, of course, Fields derives much of his fantasy value from his rushing production. See where he sits in the Week 11 QB Rankings.
Bears RB Khalil Herbert (ankle, shin) is not listed on the final Week 11 injury report. He got in full practices on Thursday and Friday and will play vs. the Lions this weekend for the first time since Week 5. RB D'Onta Foreman (ankle) is listed as questionable for that one after a limited week of practice. We're betting on Foreman playing, but it sure looks like Herbert is the healthier player right now. That makes him the preferred fantasy start in this backfield, although neither guy is an exciting play vs. Detroit's eighth-ranked RB defense.
Bengals QB Joe Burrow will miss the rest of the season with a torn ligament in his wrist that will require surgery, HC Zac Taylor announced Friday. It ends a frustrating season that saw Burrow battle through a calf injury for the first six weeks, get hot coming off the bye, and then suffer this wrist injury. We'll look for further details on Burrow's rehab plan and whether his 2024 season will be impacted. His absence the rest of this season leaves Cincinnati with QBs Jake Browning and A.J. McCarron (practice squad). Browning was abysmal in relief of Burrow in Baltimore on Thursday night, completing eight of 14 passes for 68 yards (4.9 YPA). It's about the biggest QB downgrade imaginable and awful news for Bengals pass catchers. The offense figures to lean more on the running game going forward, but we still wouldn't consider this an upgrade for RB Joe Mixon because the Bengals will struggle to sustain drives and score points under Browning.
Vikings WR K.J. Osborn (concussion) is not listed on the final injury report and will play vs. the Broncos on Sunday night. Assuming WR Justin Jefferson misses that one, Osborn will be a volume-based WR4 option. Note, though, that Denver’s pass defense has been excellent lately. The Broncos are up to 13th in adjusted fantasy points allowed to WRs.
Vikings WR Justin Jefferson (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday night's game vs. the Broncos. Minnesota also listed Jefferson as questionable last week before ruling him out on Saturday. We'll see whether he's activated from IR this Saturday, but we're not expecting Jefferson to return for the Sunday nighter.
