11 hours agoTennessee Titans offensive coordinator Nick Holz said that wide receiver
Tyler Boyd (shoulder) has been limited with a shoulder injury, but now he's now as healthy as he's been in recent weeks heading into the Week 11 contest versus the Minnesota Vikings and is expected to be more of a factor on offense moving forward. Boyd's lack of production/involvement recently was more of a health issue than anything else. The 30-year-old veteran played a season-low 29% of the offensive snaps in Week 9 overtime win over the New England Patriots but bumped up to 61% in the Week 10 loss to the to the Los Angeles Chargers. Boyd wasn't targeted in either of those games while seeing one carry for three yards. He has failed to go over 43 receiving yards in any of his nine games in his first year in Tennessee in 2024 and should remain on the waiver wire in most fantasy leagues.

12 hours agoLos Angeles Chargers quarterback
Justin Herbert has a good matchup in a Week 11 game against the Cincinnati Bengals. Herbert got off to a slow start this season due in part to play calling, but also in part due to an injury he was still recovering from. Now fully healthy, Herbert has been the overall fantasy QB9 since Week 7, ranking third in yards per attempt and in passer rating. While he only had to throw 18 times last week against the Titans, he was still extremely efficient and added 32 yards and a touchdown on the ground to boost himself to a QB8 finish for Week 10. This week, on Sunday Night Football, Herbert and the Chargers will likely have to throw the ball more often. The Bengals defense hasn't been able to stop much this season, especially lately, which could lead to a high-scoring shootout on Sunday Night Football. Herbert should be a QB1 with upside this week.

12 hours agoThe Kansas City Chiefs officially signed rookie kicker
Spencer Shrader to their active 53-man roster on Friday from the New York Jets' practice squad and officially placed kicker
Harrison Butker (knee) on Injured Reserve. Shrader will get the first crack at replacing Butker as KC's primary kicker moving forward. With Butker on IR, he will be required to miss at least the next four games. Shrader, an undrafted rookie out of Notre Dame, has kicked in two games in his first year in the NFL -- one with the Jets and one with the Indianapolis Colts -- making both of his field-goal attempts and all three of his extra points. The 25-year-old made 68.3 percent of his field goals in college and will not be a recommended streaming option at the position in his first game with the Chiefs in a Week 11 showdown on the road against the Buffalo Bills.

12 hours agoJacksonville Jaguars head coach Doug Pederson said that running back
Tank Bigsby (ankle) will practice on Friday for the first time this week. "Optimistic... today will be a big day for him," Pederson said. Fantasy managers will want to check back later on Friday for the team's final injury report, where Bigsby is likely to pick up a questionable tag for Sunday's contest against the Detroit Lions. In addition to the injury, the 23-year-old's fantasy stock is down considerable heading into the weekend with quarterback
Trevor Lawrence (shoulder) set to miss a second straight game. In last week's loss to the Minnesota Vikings with
Mac Jones under center, Bigsby had just two carries for four yards. If he's active, he'll continue to share backfield touches with
Travis Etienne Jr. against a stout Lions defensive front, making him a low-upside RB3/flex for fantasy managers.

12 hours agoCincinnati Bengals head coach Zac Taylor told reporters on Friday that wide receiver
Tee Higgins (quadriceps) is expected to play in Week 11 against the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday Night Football. Higgins hasn't played since Oct. 20, though, which makes him a much riskier option for starting fantasy lineups if he is indeed active on Sunday night. The 25-year-old has a history of playing limited snaps in his first game back from injury as well, so fantasy managers will be rolling the dice with him if they put him in their starting lineups this weekend against a strong Chargers defense on the road. Higgins' return will also make
Andrei Iosivas and tight ends
Mike Gesicki and
Tanner Hudson less attractive as streaming options in Cincy's offense. When healthy, Higgins has excelled for fantasy managers this year, averaging 10.4 half-PPR points per game, which ranks 11th among all wideouts.

12 hours agoBuffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott said that wide receiver
Amari Cooper (wrist) will be listed as questionable for Sunday's Week 11 game against the undefeated Kansas City Chiefs. Cooper has missed the last two games with the injury but is optimistic he'll return this weekend. He suffered a left-wrist injury in the Week 8 win over the Seattle Seahawks and has been limited in practices ever since, but he hasn't played. "Definitely feeling better. Definitely more comfortable," Cooper said. "So, just ready to play football again." Although nothing is official, Cooper appears to be on the right side of questionable for Week 11. He said he doesn't feel pain catching the ball, but he needs to get used to catching the ball while wearing a cast. Rookie
Keon Coleman (wrist) and tight end
Dalton Kincaid (knee) have already been ruled out, so Cooper figures to have a sizeable role on Sunday if he's active.

13 hours agoBuffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott said that tight end
Dalton Kincaid (knee) has been ruled out for the Week 11 game against the undefeated Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday. Kincaid suffered a knee injury in the Week 10 win over the Indianapolis Colts and was unable to practice this week. The Bills have a bye next week, so hopefully the extra rest will allow Kincaid to return to face the San Francisco 49ers on Dec. 1. With the 25-year-old second-year tight end out this weekend, it means that
Dawson Knox will have TE1 upside for fantasy managers, especially if receiver
Amari Cooper (wrist) misses a third straight game. Kincaid was expected to have a much bigger role in his sophomore season in Buffalo, but he's only caught 34 passes for 356 yards and two touchdowns through 10 games in 2024. Those in need of a streamer at TE in Week 11 should look Knox's way.

13 hours agoThe Philadelphia Eagles defense allowed the Commanders to score 18 points, tallied three sacks, and intercepted Commanders quarterback
Jayden Daniels once in their Week 11 win. The score was closer on paper than it was in the game, as a garbage time touchdown was scored by former Eagles tight end
Zach Ertz. The Eagles came into this game with their defense firing on all cylinders, but many saw this as the litmus test and they passed with flying colors. They held one of the hottest offenses in the NFL to 3.3 yards per carry and kept the sensational rookie quarterback in check, holding Daniels to fewer than 200 passing yards and just 18 rushing yards. They have entered weekly starting territory for fantasy and should be in the mix for managers next week when they take on the LA Rams.

13 hours agoPhiladelphia Eagles kicker
Jake Elliott went 2-for-4 on field-goal attempts Thursday and missed one of his three extra-point attempts during the team's 26-18 win over the Washington Commanders. Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni finally elected to try and take the points this week instead of going for it constantly on fourth down, but Elliott continued to struggle like he has all year and missed multiple kicks. Perhaps there is a reason Sirianni has been so aggressive on fourth down in plus territory, but it is more likely that one of last season's most accurate kickers just had an off night. Regardless, he is far too risky to trust for fantasy moving forward and should be left on waivers until we see more consistent production.

13 hours agoPhiladelphia Eagles tight end
Dallas Goedert caught all five of his targets for 61 yards during the team's 26-18 win over the Washington Commanders on Thursday night. The veteran had a big catch and run of over 30 yards that almost turned into a costly turnover, but backup
Grant Calcaterra recovered it. Goedert's 61 yards were the second-highest on the team Thursday behind only
A.J. Brown. The Eagles were crushing the Commanders on the ground with
Saquon Barkley, leading to another pedestrian performance for the Eagles pass catchers. With that said, by tight end standards this season, Goedert had a solid night and will be a fringe TE1 again next week against the LA Rams.

13 hours agoPhiladelphia Eagles wide receiver
DeVonta Smith caught four of six targets for 29 yards during the team's 26-18 win over the Washington Commanders on Thursday night. The former Heisman winner had his second straight game with fewer than 30 receiving yards as the Eagles dominated the Commanders with their rushing attack. No receiver for Philadelphia had a particularly great fantasy performance Thursday, but this is a run-first offense that limits passing to keep turnovers at a minimum, and it has led to six straight wins. Because of the massive upside Smith carries, managers need to continue to fire him up, but they also need to understand that with tight end
Dallas Goedert healthy and all of the other weapons on the field, there are going to be dry spells for the 26-year-old receiver. He will be a WR2 after the Eagles mini-bye week in Week 12 against the LA Rams.

14 hours agoDallas Cowboys running back
Rico Dowdle grades as a high-end RB3 heading into Monday night's matchup with the Houston Texans. Mike McCarthy stated earlier this week that there is no more committee in Dallas, although that has become increasingly evident over the past month with Dowdle's usage ramping up. With guaranteed volume he is startable, but his ceiling remains limited due to the downturn of the Cowboys' offense without quarterback
Dak Prescott (hamstring). Dowdle is a volume-based play in Week 11 against a Houston defense that ranks seventh against opposing running backs.

14 hours agoDallas Cowboys quarterback
Cooper Rush (neck) popped up on the first injury report of the week, although he was a full participant. Head coach Mike McCarthy said after last week's blowout loss that the team would continue to roll with Rush as the starter heading into Week 11's Monday night matchup with Houston. The veteran backup will need to play better in order to keep the job with
Trey Lance behind him on the depth chart. He is off the fantasy radar even in formats that use multiple quarterbacks against a stout Houston defense.

14 hours agoPhiladelphia Eagles wide receiver
A.J. Brown still hasn't found the end zone since Week 6, but he did lead the team in receiving yards on Thursday night in the victory over the Washington Commanders. The superstar wideout ended the game with five receptions for 65 yards on eight targets. This was his second-lowest yardage total of the season so far, but he got into double-digit fantasy points in PPR formats. Unfortunately, for the receivers,
Saquon Barkley took this game over on the ground. Brown will look ahead to some extra rest before the Week 12 matchup against the Los Angeles Rams.
