Josh Allen Injury Update
Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen is not on the final injury report for the matchup against the Cleveland Browns in Detroit. His elbow injury didn't seem to affect him against the Minnesota Vikings in Week 10, and since he carries no injury designation into Week 11, there's no concern about starting him in fantasy football.
Cleveland is just a middle-of-the-pack matchup for quarterbacks, but as always, Allen has the overall QB1 ceiling.
Mark Andrews Injury Update
Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews (knee, shoulder) is likely to play versus Carolina, according to ESPN NFL insider Adam Schefter. Andrews didn't suit up for the Week 9 meeting with the Saints and didn't play well in the previous two games leading up to that one.
However, as expected, the 27-year-old remains a top fantasy option at the position, so managers need to get him back into the lineup against a Panthers defense that's struggled defending opposing tight ends.
Davante Adams Injury Update
Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Davante Adams (abdomen) is expected to be active for Sunday's game against the Denver Broncos, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL.com. He had been limited in practice all week long and was ultimately labeled as "questionable" heading into the weekend. Fantasy managers should continue to view him as a high-end WR1.
Keenan Allen Injury Update
Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen (hamstring) stated he intends to play on Sunday night against the Chiefs, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. The wideout has appeared in only two games this season due to a nagging hamstring ailment, which has also caused Justin Herbert to struggle.
With that said, Allen's official designation may not come until after lineups lock, so fantasy managers may want to consider keeping him on the bench in Week 11 in case he suffers a setback.
Matthew Stafford Injury Update
Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford has cleared the league's concussion protocol and will start in a Week 11 matchup against the New Orleans Saints. Stafford has been very disappointing this season but should be viewed as an upgrade over John Wolford (neck) for the team's offensive weapons.
With Cooper Kupp (ankle) officially on injured reserve, though, it will be difficult to trust Stafford as anything more than a low-end QB2 in Superflex and two-quarterback leagues on Sunday.
Justin Jefferson Injury Update
Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson (toe) is dealing with "mild turf toe," according to Tom Pelissero of NFL.com. The injury limited him during practice this past week but is expected to have no impact on his availability in Week 11 or beyond. Jefferson has yet to miss a game in his career, adding further value to his already elite fantasy stock.
Mike Williams Injury Update
Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Mike Williams (ankle) is expected to be active for Sunday's divisional clash with the Kansas City Chiefs, according to Jordan Schultz of The Score. The 28-year-old had been listed as questionable despite practicing in full on Friday.
Williams is the Chargers' leading receiver this season, having caught 37 passes for 495 yards and three touchdowns through seven games. He ranks as a WR2 ahead of what should be a high-scoring affair versus Kansas City. On the topic of Chargers receivers, it's worth noting that Williams' teammate, Keenan Allen (hamstring), is also trending towards being active for just the third time this season.
Gus Edwards Injury Update
Baltimore Ravens running back Gus Edwards (hamstring, knee) is trending towards being inactive in Week 11 against the Carolina Panthers, according to NFL.com's Ian Rapoport. An official decision won't be made until after his pregame workout, but as of now, it looks like it will be Kenyan Drake and Justice Hill leading the rushing attack for Baltimore.
