Justin Jefferson Injury Update

Justin Jefferson has been working his way back from a hamstring injury that he suffered back in Week 5 against the Kansas City Chiefs. The Vikings have been ramping up his practice inclusion over the past two weeks, but the star receiver has remained limited. Minnesota listed him officially as questionable for Sunday night's game against the Denver Broncos on Friday.

The Vikings will likely announce his status for the game on Saturday, as Jefferson is still on the Injured Reserve list and will need to be activated prior to Sunday's slate. Keep an eye on reports over the weekend, but it would be wise to secure a pivot option early just in case he needs one more week to recover. Jordan Addison, T.J. Hockenson, and K.J. Osborn will continue to work as the top options while Jefferson is away.

Garrett Wilson Injury Update

Garrett Wilson has been limited in practice this week due to an elbow injury that he suffered in last week's game against the Las Vegas Raiders. The injury has limited the 23-year-old in practice all week, and the Jets officially listed him as questionable for Sunday's divisional matchup with the Buffalo Bills.

Wilson is steadfast in his belief that he is playing Sunday. We cannot take players at their word, as it is ultimately up to the team if they are active, but with a week full of limited practice participation, the Jets' top receiver should be good to go. Allen Lazard would operate as the No. 1 receiver if Wilson is inactive, but would not be a recommended fantasy option over most other flex options.

Keenan Allen Injury Update

Keenan Allen suffered an AC Joint sprain in last week's loss to the Detroit Lions. The Chargers gave him the day off Wednesday, and the veteran was able to put in two limited practices to end the week. Los Angeles officially listed their star receiver as questionable for Sunday's game against the Green Bay Packers on Friday.

Allen exploded for 175 yards and two touchdowns last week despite leaving the game for brief periods, but AC Joint sprains are nothing to take lightly. If active, there is a chance they pull the veteran a bit more off the field to lessen the chance of aggravating the injury, but it should not affect his fantasy output in a major way. Fire up Allen as a WR1 if he is able to go against the Packers.

Noah Brown Injury Update

Noah Brown has dealt with a knee injury this past week and has been unable to practice in any capacity. While three straight missed practices typically makes a team rule a player out automatically, the Texans have labeled the veteran receiver as questionable for Sunday's game against the Arizona Cardinals.

Nico Collins and Robert Woods were both set to make their returns already, and their availability should lead to Brown sitting out in Week 11. It is a shame, as the former Dallas Cowboy had racked up 325 yards and a touchdown over the past two weeks, but his target share should move over to Collins, Woods, and Tank Dell. Brown's involvement in the offense will be interesting to see when he comes back if all the other receivers remain healthy coming out of Week 11.

Tyler Lockett Injury Update

Tyler Lockett has dealt with a nagging hamstring injury this season but was left off of the injury report for the first time over the past two weeks. However, the 31-year-old has missed practice time over the past week and is truly questionable for Sunday's game against division rival Los Angeles Rams.

There are no reports indicating if this is a re-aggravation of the old hamstring injury for Lockett, but head coach Pete Carroll said they will take it day-by-day with their No. 2 receiver. DK Metcalf and Jaxon Smith-Njigba would become much more attractive fantasy options if he were to miss this game. Look out for weekend updates for Lockett, both for his availability on Sunday and news on his potential future if the injury is more serious than we know about at this time.

Michael Wilson Injury Update

Michael Wilson has dealt with a shoulder injury recently that cost him a game against the Cleveland Browns back in Week 9. The rookie returned to the lineup last week against the Falcons and was able to practice in full on Wednesday and Thursday this past week. However, Wilson was downgraded to limited on Friday and Arizona has since listed him as questionable for Sunday's game against the Houston Texans.

Wilson may have re-aggravated the injury in practice or was just dealing with soreness in his shoulder, causing the limited participation. With that said, fantasy managers who are planning to flex him should have a backup option just in case he is ruled out over the weekend. Rondale Moore should see the biggest target increase if Wilson sits out.

Zay Jones Injury Update

Zay Jones has been out since Week 6 due to a knee injury. The 28-year-old has been able to work in a limited fashion in practice this past week and has not been ruled out for the first time since suffering the injury. Jacksonville officially labeled Jones as questionable for Sunday's game against the Tennessee Titans.

The return of Jones is an issue for Calvin Ridley's fantasy value, but his return gives fantasy managers another flex-worthy option down the stretch. This matchup with the Titans, in particular, is a good one to target, but managers should be wary of firing him up if active in his first game back in over a month. Christian Kirk and Ridley are still the top two fantasy options in Jacksonville moving forward, but Jones will have flex value once he is back in his typical role.

Treylon Burks Injury Update

Treylon Burks suffered a concussion back in Week 9 against the Pittsburgh Steelers. The 23-year-old has not returned to the practice field since and was officially ruled out by Tennessee for Sunday's game against the Jacksonville Jaguars on Friday.

Second-year receiver Kyle Philips has stepped up in replacement of Burks, putting up over 60 yards in each game over the past two weeks. As for Burks, he will need to continue to progress through the protocol before he is even considered a low-end flex by fantasy managers. He is an easy drop in most redraft leagues.
