As fantasy regular seasons hit the home stretch, success in the next month is going to be tied to how well playoff-contending rosters can make up for bye weeks and injuries.
It's a big week for fantasy receivers, especially, as Nico Collins, D.K. Metcalf, Darnell Mooney, Brian Thomas Jr., and Davante Adams, among others, are facing injury questions this week.

Davante Adams Injury Update
New York Jets wide receiver Davante Adams (wrist, illness) is officially questionable but likely to play against the Indianapolis Colts, according to Jets interim head coach Jeff Ulbrich.
Adams has drawn 24 targets in his past two games and should once again command a large share of quarterback Aaron Rodgers' attention against the Colts' secondary.
Status updates:
-- #Ravens S Kyle Hamilton is expected to play, per John Harbaugh.
-- #Jets WR Davante Adams (illness) is expected to play, while CJ Mosley is out.
-- #Dolphins CB Jalen Ramsey injured his knee in practice yesterday, but Mike McDaniel said he's "optimistic" that…— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) November 15, 2024
Brian Thomas Jr. Injury Update
Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr. (chest) did not appear on the club's final Week 11 injury report after being limited in practice earlier in the week.
Mac Jones is likely to start against the Detroit Lions with Trevor Lawrence (shoulder) set to miss another game, which is bad news for fantasy managers counting on Thomas.

D.K. Metcalf Injury Update
Seattle Seahawks wide receiver D.K. Metcalf (knee) will not carry an injury designation into Week 11's game against the division rival San Francisco 49ers.
Metcalf hasn't played since sustaining the injury in Week 7. The veteran receiver has drawn nearly nine targets per game in Seattle's new offense this season.

Nico Collins Injury Update
Wide receiver Nico Collins (hamstring) of the Houston Texans logged a full practice on Friday, placing him on track to play Monday against the Dallas Cowboys.
The star receiver has missed five consecutive games. Houston won't release its final injury report until later Saturday, but things are looking good for Collins to play against Dallas.

Isiah Pacheco Injury Update
Kansas City Chiefs running back Isiah Pacheco (leg) won't return in Week 11 against the Buffalo Bills, according to the club's injury report.
Fantasy managers who have patiently held onto the running back during his injured reserve stint will have to wait at least another week. Kareem Hunt has taken most of the backfield work, drawing 20-plus carries in four of the past five games.
Charles Omenihu (IR) and Isiah Pacheco (IR) are out for this Sunday's game against the Bills.

Tee Higgins Injury Update
The Cincinnati Bengals did not list wide receiver Tee Higgins (quad) on their Week 11 injury report, signaling his likely return against the Los Angeles Chargers.
Higgins missed three straight contests and has played in only five of Cincinnati's 10 games this year. He should once again slot in as Cincinnati's WR2 behind Ja'Marr Chase.
#Bengals coach Zac Taylor told reporters that Tee Higgins (quad) is expected to play this week. He hasn't played since Oct. 20.

Darnell Mooney Injury Update
Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Darnell Mooney (Achilles) is off the team's official injury report heading into Sunday's game at Denver.
Mooney has been one of the surprises of the season, ranking inside the top 10 for receivers in PPR formats. He should continue to be one of quarterback Kirk Cousins' favorite targets against a tough Broncos secondary.
WR Darnell Mooney (Achilles) has no designation. He'll play Sunday. #Falcons

Sam LaPorta Injury Update
Detroit Lions tight end Sam LaPorta (shoulder) will not play Sunday against the Jacksonville Jaguars, according to the team's final injury report.
Brock Wright, who is playing half of Detroit's snaps even with LaPorta, figures to start in his place.

George Kittle Injury Update
San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle (hamstring) is listed as questionable to play against the Seattle Seahawks in Week 11.
Kittle, the overall No. 1 fantasy tight end this year, had two limited practices in the lead-up to the game. Eric Saubert is the primary backup, but it seems as if Kittle will play.
#49ers injury report for Sunday:
OUT - DT Kevin Givens (groin), P Mitch Wishnowsky (back), CB Charvarius Ward (personal).
DOUBTFUL - CB Darrell Luter Jr. (pelvis).
QUESTIONABLE — OT Trent Williams (ankle), OL Jon Feliciano (knee), DE Nick Bosa (hip), TE George Kittle…

Amari Cooper Injury Update
Buffalo Bills wide receiver Amari Cooper (wrist) will carry a questionable designation into the Week 11 showdown with the Kansas City Chiefs, according to the team's official injury report.
Unfortunately for fantasy managers, Cooper's status might be decided after the early games have started. Last week, Khalil Shakir drew nine targets without Cooper, while Curtis Samuel had a season-high eight.
#Bills WR Amari Cooper and T Spencer Brown are both questionable to play on Sunday against Kansas City.
Cooper is still wearing a cast on his left wrist/hand, and this is a look at it without a glove.#BillsMafia pic.twitter.com/KCLv2Zwmwz

Dalton Kincaid Injury Update
The Buffalo Bills will be without tight end Dalton Kincaid (knee) when they play Kansas City this week, Bills coach Sean McDermott said Friday.
The Bills also could be without Cooper, leaving Bills quarterback Josh Allen without two of his top targets. Dawson Knox should draw most of the receiving work at tight end.
Coach McDermott has ruled TE Dalton Kincaid out for Sunday’s game.#KCvsBUF injury report: https://t.co/XMAsEmQeZa pic.twitter.com/zf0vAB4BE2

Aaron Jones Injury Update
Minnesota Vikings running back Aaron Jones (ribs) came off the team's final injury report ahead of their Week 11 game at Tennessee.
Jones took a heavy shot to the midsection last week and was carted off, but apparently won't miss any time. Cam Akers and Ty Chandler filled in, but it's Jones' backfield when he's healthy.
No injury designations for the Vikings on the active roster this week. That means Aaron Jones, Sam Darnold, etc. will play.
Rookie Gabe Murphy not activated from IR yet.
