Joey Bosa Carted Off With Leg Injury
Los Angeles Chargers pass-rusher Joey Bosa (foot) was carted to the locker room on Sunday against the Green Bay Packers early in the first quarter and looked upset and appeared to be crying into a towel. The Chargers haven't officially ruled him out yet, but that's likely to be the outcome. It would be a […]
Will Anderson Jr. Active For Week 11
Houston Texans defensive end Will Anderson Jr. (knee) is active for Sunday's game against the Arizona Cardinals. He had been listed as questionable and was expected to be a true game-time decision. Despite missing practice on Friday, the first-round defensive star will suit up against the team that traded away his draft pick, the Cardinals. […]

The Green Bay Packers could be missing some key defenders in a Week 11 matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers at Lambeau Field on Sunday, as linebackers Quay Walker (groin) and Rashan Gary (shoulder) and cornerback Jaire Alexander (shoulder) are all listed as questionable.

Minkah Fitzpatrick Ruled Out Again
Pittsburgh Steelers safety Minkah Fitzpatrick (hamstring) was unable to practice at all this week and has officially been ruled out for Week 11 against the Cleveland Browns.

DaRon Bland Is A Top-Tier DB Option In IDP In Week 11
Dallas Cowboys cornerback DaRon Bland, who has a favorable matchup against the Carolina Panthers, is one of the best choices to start at defensive back in IDP leagues in Week 11. The Panthers throw the ball more often than all but one team. Carolina quarterback Bryce Young has been inconsistent. He has thrown seven interceptions. […]
D.J. Wonnum A Solid Streamer In Week 11
Minnesota Vikings edge rusher D.J. Wonnum is a solid streaming option in Week 11 against the Denver Broncos. Wonnum, who was drafted in the fourth round of the 2020 NFL Draft, has been a rotational player for much of his early career, but he stepped into a starting role this season and has played 79% […]
T.J. Watt Has Explosive Potential In Week 11
Pittsburgh Steelers edge rusher T.J. Watt could blow up in Week 11 against the Cleveland Browns. The Browns are starting fifth-round rookie quarterback Dorian Thompson-Robinson at quarterback. The UCLA product threw three interceptions and took four sacks in his only start of the season, a 3-28 loss to the Baltimore Ravens. Watt is an elite […]
Ed Oliver Is A Quality Start In Week 11
Buffalo Bills defensive lineman Ed Oliver lines up against a weak New York Jets offensive line in Week 11, and Oliver should be a strong start in IDP leagues. Oliver has made 5.0 sacks and eight QB hits this season. In his first matchup against the Jets in Week 1, Oliver made three tackles, six […]

Cincinnati Bengals cornerback Cam Taylor-Britt (quadriceps) was ruled out of the Thursday night contest against the Baltimore Ravens after suffering a quadriceps injury.

Week 11 IDP Rankings for Fantasy Football - Positional Rankings for Linebacker, Defensive Line, Defensive Back
There are four NFL teams on bye in Week 11. That is usually a prescription for heavy roster turnover and triage in fantasy circles. However, this bye week is uniquely tame. While this bye is taking the NFL’s leading tackler (Zaire Franklin) away from us, the losses could be far worse. The Saints typically have […]
Minkah Fitzpatrick Missed Practice On Wednesday
Pittsburgh Steelers safety Minkah Fitzpatrick (hamstring) did not participate in the team's practice on Wednesday. Fitzpatrick suffered his hamstring injury early in the Week 8 matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars after just eight snaps. Since then, the All-Pro safety has missed back-to-back games. However, Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin said Fitzpatrick's practice reps this week […]
Sam Hubbard Won't Play In Week 11
The Cincinnati Bengals officially ruled out defensive end Sam Hubbard (ankle) for the Thursday Night Football showdown in Week 11 against the division-rival Baltimore Ravens.

Chidobe Awuzie Limited In Tuesday’s Practice
Cincinnati Bengals cornerback Chidobe Awuzie (knee) was limited in the team's practice on Tuesday. The Bengals didn't hold an official practice on Monday, but Awuzie would have been a limited participant anyway. So, Tuesday's limited practice is on par with that. The Bengals cornerback has not seen as much playing time in 2023 after tearing […]
Justin Evans Has Practice Window Opened
Philadelphia Eagles safety Justin Evans (knee) has been designated to return from IR. The veteran safety injured his knee back in Week 5 and was subsequently placed on IR. Now that his 21-day practice has opened, the Eagles will need to activate him within the next three weeks. He began the season as a starter […]
Jordan Hicks Lands On Injured Reserve
The Minnesota Vikings placed linebacker Jordan Hicks (shin) on Injured Reserve on Tuesday.

IDP Waiver Wire Pickups and Fantasy Football Streamers for Week 11 (2023)

Jason Pierre-Paul Plans To Sign With The Saints
Free-agent pass-rusher Jason Pierre-Paul is planning to sign with the New Orleans Saints, according to Josina Anderson of CBS Sports. The 34-year-old worked out with the team earlier on Monday, and it seems the workout went well enough to garner interest from the front office and coaching staff. Pierre-Paul last played for the Baltimore Ravens […]
Terrel Bernard Active On Monday Night
Buffalo Bills linebackers Terrel Bernard (concussion) and A.J. Klein (back) are both active for the Monday night contest against the Denver Broncos.

Kyle Hamilton Dominates In Loss
Baltimore Ravens safety Kyle Hamilton made eight tackles and a pick-six in the Ravens' 31-33 loss to the Cleveland Browns in Week 10. Hamilton was expected to be a second-year breakout, and he hasn't disappointed. He has scored double-digit Rotoballer IDP fantasy points in five of ten games, including three of the past four. He […]
Sheldon Rankins Records Three Sacks In Texans Win
Houston Texans defensive lineman Sheldon Rankins was amongst the Week 10 leaders in IDP scoring, as he had three sacks and forced a fumble in the Texans' 30-27 win over the Cincinnati Bengals.

Cleveland Browns cornerback Greg Newsome intercepted a Lamar Jackson pass that had been deflected and returned it for a fourth-quarter touchdown in the Browns' come-from-behind 33-31 victory over the Baltimore Ravens. The pick-six was just the first interception of Newsome's three-year career. His big game was made bigger with half a sack. He also made […]
Kayvon Thibodeaux Won't Return In Week 10
New York Giants linebacker Kayvon Thibodeaux (concussion) won't return to Sunday's game versus the Dallas Cowboys. The 2022 No. 5 overall pick, who entered Week 10 with a team-high 8.5 sacks, suffered a concussion before he was ultimately ruled out. Of course, IDP fantasy managers will anxiously await an update, considering the injury could keep […]
Cam Taylor-Britt Suffers Finger Injury In Week 10
Cincinnati Bengals cornerback Cam Taylor-Britt (finger) was injured during Sunday's loss to the Houston Texans. The 2022 second-round pick injured his right finger.

Marshon Lattimore To Get An MRI On Monday

Kwon Alexander Tears Achilles Sunday
Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker Kwon Alexander (ankle) was diagnosed with a torn Achilles following the team's Week 10 win over the Green Bay Packers. Alexander suffered the injury early in the contest and finished with zero tackles. Given that fellow linebacker Cole Holcomb (knee) suffered a season-ending injury last week, losing Alexander is yet another tough […]
Emmanuel Forbes Ejected From Week 10
Washington Commanders cornerback Emmanuel Forbes was ejected following a head-to-head hit on wide receiver Tyler Lockett during the first quarter of Sunday's game against the Seattle Seahawks. In addition to disqualifying himself, Forbes cost Washington 15 yards on the penalty. This is an inexcusable loss for the Commanders whose defense will now be without a […]
Marshon Lattimore Questionable To Return Sunday
New Orleans Saints cornerback Marshon Lattimore (ankle) exited during the fourth quarter of Sunday's game against the Minnesota Vikings. He is officially questionable to return. At the time of his departure, Lattimore had logged four tackles. With a bye week ahead of him, the veteran defensive back will have extra time to recover. In the […]
Marlon Humphrey Suffers Non-Contact Injury Sunday
Baltimore Ravens cornerback Marlon Humphrey (ankle) exited during the second half of Week 10 versus the Cleveland Browns after suffering a non-contact injury. The defensive back was grabbing at his right ankle, a potential indicator of a serious Achilles injury.
