Jamaal Williams Injury Update
Williams (illness) missed Wednesday's practice but has been a full participant ever since. Barring a setback, he'll suit up on Sunday as he looks to solidify his stronghold on the running back position in Detroit. Until we have reason to view the backfield otherwise, Williams ranks higher than D'Andre Swift in fantasy football on a weekly basis.
Ezekiel Elliott Injury Update
Elliott (knee) was limited in practice all week long and is officially listed as questionable. The Cowboys have exercised caution with their veteran back, holding him out of two consecutive games, so it's definitely possible that we see more of the same in Week 11. If Elliott misses another contest, Tony Pollard would rank as a low-end RB1 versus Minnesota.
Najee Harris Injury Update
Harris (knee) experienced some discomfort earlier this week, but that didn't stop him from practicing in full for three consecutive days. The second-year back has drastically underachieved this year and finds himself outside of the top-24 range heading into Week 11 versus Cincinnati.
Gus Edwards Injury Update
Edwards (hamstring, knee) was limited in practice all week long and is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Panthers. The Ravens were open about the abundance of caution they have taken with J.K. Dobbins' knee injury, so perhaps we could see them adopt a similar approach with Edwards. If he is forced to miss Week 11, Kenyan Drake would likely operate as the Ravens' lead back.
Jerick McKinnon Injury Update
McKinnon (hamstring, shoulder) was limited in practice all week long but has been removed from the Chiefs' final injury report. Translation: he's playing. Not only will McKinnon be active Sunday, but he has worked his way into the FLEX range, at least in PPR leagues. The 30-year-old has 12 catches for 96 yards through the air over his last two games, and his role in the passing attack could only increase with JuJu Smith-Schuster (concussion) and Mecole Hardman (abdomen) sidelined.
Mark Ingram II Injury Update
Ingram (knee) did not practice at all this week. As a result, he has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game versus the Rams. Alvin Kamara continues to be the only Saints running back worth rostering in fantasy football.
Deon Jackson Injury Update
Jackson (knee) has made significant progress throughout the week, working his way from a non-participant on Wednesday to a full participant on Friday. He'll operate behind Jonathan Taylor and doesn't have fantasy relevance this week, though he should still carve out some work in the passing game.
Chris Evans Injury Update
J.D. McKissic Injury Update
McKissic (neck) missed all three practices once again this week. As a result, he has been ruled out ahead of Week 11 versus the Texans. Antonio Gibson has firmly established himself as the Commanders' top pass-catching back and should retain that role even after McKissic returns.
Jonathan Williams Injury Update
Williams (knee) practiced in full on Wednesday and Thursday before downgrading to a limited participant on Friday. The decline in status isn't ideal, but the fact that the Commanders are listing him as questionable still leaves the door open for Williams to operate as the No. 3 back on Sunday.
