Nico Collins, Tank Dell (HOU) Injury Update
Game Status: Questionable
On Friday, the Texans designated Nico Collins (hamstring) to return to practice following his four-week stint on injured reserve. He's officially questionable on the injury report but the team has to activate him off IR on Saturday for him to play on Sunday night. That will give fantasy managers a big clue about his status.
Tank Dell limited as an add to the injury report is unfortunate. Hopefully nothing too serious.
Nico Collins is the big one. Tomorrow the #Texans have to activate him for him to play.

Tank Dell was added to the injury report on Friday with a back issue. With limited participation, he also carries a questionable designation into the weekend.
Collins and Dell should be started against Detroit if they are active. Hopefully, fantasy managers will know their availabilities before the early games on Sunday.
Amari Cooper, Keon Coleman (BUF) Injury Update
Game Status: Questionable / OUT
Amari Cooper and Keon Coleman both have wrist problems. Cooper missed Week 9 with his injury. Coleman's will cost him at least Week 10, possibly longer.
#Bills WR Keon Coleman wearing a brace on his right hand/wrist during Friday's practice. He did not have one on Thursday.
He's been ruled out for Sunday and could miss more than just this week, per HC Sean McDermott.#BillsMafia pic.twitter.com/AhpBkFJKwj

Cooper is sporting a cast and did not catch passes during Thursday's practice. He says catching the football is his biggest obstacle. Officially, he was limited all week.
If Cooper sits again, Khalil Shakir and Mack Hollins will be the primary wide receivers. Tight end Dalton Kincaid and running back James Cook should see more usage. Curtis Samuel (pectoral) is also questionable.
Mike Evans, Jalen McMillan (TB) Injury Update
Game Status: OUT / Questionable
Mike Evans (hamstring) avoided injured reserve because of the timing of Tampa Bay's bye week. He wasn't expected to suit up this weekend. This will be his third missed game in a row.
#Buccaneers game status report:
QB Baker Mayfield is no longer on the injury report and is set to play
OUT
WR Mike Evans (hamstring)QUESTIONABLE
DT Greg Gaines (calf)
WR Jalen McMillan (hamstring)
S Tykee Smith (knee)
S Jordan Whitehead (quad)
LS Evan Deckers (hamstring)— Jennifer Lee Chan - threads @jenniferleechan (@jenniferleechan) November 8, 2024
Rookie Jalen McMillan returned to practice on Friday and is listed as questionable with a hamstring injury of his own. Veteran Sterling Shepard (hamstring/hip) was removed from the final injury report and will play on Sunday. The running backs and Cade Otton will be Baker Mayfield's primary targets against San Francisco.
Tyreek Hill (MIA) Injury Update
Game Status: Questionable
Late-week additions to the injury report don't bode well, especially if they cause a player to sit out of practice. The good news is that this was only the second practice of the week for Tyreek Hill (wrist) and the Dolphins. They play the Rams on Monday Night Football.
Dolphins WR Tyreek Hill did not practice today because of a wrist injury.
WR Dee Eskridge missed practice for personal reasons.
— Omar Kelly (@OmarKelly) November 8, 2024
Hill's participation (or lack thereof) in Saturday's practice will be the biggest indicator of his game status this week.
Drake London (ATL) Injury Update
Game Status: Questionable
Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London, who is managing a hip pointer, was limited in practice this week. He's officially listed as questionable. Head coach Raheem Morris is optimistic his star receiver will be on the field.
Raheem Morris said he “felt good” about both WR Drake London and C Drew Dalman playing this weekend after practice Friday.
— Marc Raimondi (@marcraimondi) November 8, 2024
Darnell Mooney becomes a must-start if London is inactive. Ray-Ray McCloud III and Kyle Pitts will get a bump in the rankings. The New Orleans Saints traded Marshon Lattimore, their best cornerback, this week.
Chris Olave (NO) Injury Update
Game Status: OUT
As expected, Chris Olave will not play this weekend. He's recovering from his second concussion this season and fourth in three years.
Rizzi said Chris Olave won't play this week. Said they're trying to figure out what's best for long-term. He's met with the Saints and people outside their building. He'll be out for the short-term, per Rizzi.
— John Hendrix (@JohnJHendrix) November 8, 2024
Olave could be facing a multi-week absence, if not longer. The Saints are already without wide receivers Rashid Shaheed and Bub Means. Alvin Kamara and Taysom Hill are the only Saints to consider starting this week.
Deebo Samuel Sr. (SF) Injury Update
Game Status: Questionable
The core of the San Francisco offense is back and healthy (sans Brandon Aiyuk). Christian McCaffrey (calf) and Deebo Samuel Sr. (ribs/oblique) are officially questionable but all signs point to them playing on Sunday.
The #49ers are officially listing RB Christian McCaffrey (Achilles/calf), WR Deebo Samuel (ribs/oblique) and DE Nick Bosa (hip) as questionable for Sunday's game vs. Tampa Bay, per Kyle Shanahan.
Shanahan says McCaffrey will come off IR tomorrow and should be good to go.
— Tom Pelissero (@TomPelissero) November 8, 2024
Samuel should be considered a low-end WR1 against a Tampa Bay defense that allows the sixth-most fantasy points to wide receivers per game.
JuJu Smith-Schuster (KC) Injury Update
Game Status: OUT
JuJu Smith-Schuster's hamstring injury will keep him on the sideline for another week. He originally suffered the injury leading into Week 7 and played just a handful of snaps in that game.
JuJu Smith-Schuster won't play Sunday against Broncos for third straight game. No surprise since he didn't practice this week
— Adam Teicher (@adamteicher) November 8, 2024
During his absence, the Chiefs traded for DeAndre Hopkins. With he and Travis Kelce dominating targets, Smith-Schuster holds little fantasy football value when he returns.
Brian Thomas Jr., Gabe Davis (JAX) Injury Update
Game Status: Questionable
Brian Thomas Jr. (chest) was limited in practice all week. It's a near-repeat of last week. The rookie eventually suited up on Sunday. Fantasy managers can expect the same against the Vikings, but should double-check the inactive list on Sunday morning.
Trevor Lawrence, Brian Thomas Jr. and Gabe Davis are among eight Jaguars questionable for Sunday vs Vikings. LG Ezra Cleveland is out. pic.twitter.com/hKotG5gRN2
— Michael DiRocco (@ESPNdirocco) November 8, 2024
Gabe Davis (shoulder) missed last week's game and logged limited practices this week. Davis wasn't worth a roster spot in most leagues with Trevor Lawrence under center. Jacksonville's franchise quarterback is unlikely to play. Mac Jones downgrades the entire receiving corps.
