Fantasy Football Rookies to Watch in Week 11: Najee Harris, Michael Carter, and more
Every week, this column will spotlight the first-year players who are ripe for a breakout performance. Oftentimes, rookies can provide some of the most value as under-the-radar options. Through 10 weeks, Bengals receiver Ja'Marr Chase has been the most impressive rookie in fantasy. The LSU product has 44 receptions, 835 yards, and seven touchdowns in […]
Fantasy Football Trade Deadline Targets and Strategies: The Engel Eye
After playing in only three games this season, Chris Carson is out for the year, as he will undergo neck surgery. Alex Collins, who was downgraded on Thursday due to a groin injury, is now expected to play in Week 11 and should be Seattle’s starting running back for the rest of the season barring […]
Fantasy Football Rankings and Injury News for Week 11: Alvin Kamara, Nick Chubb, Damien Harris, Elijah Mitchell, Saquon Barkley, Chase Claypool, DeAndre Hopkins
Welcome to Week 11 RotoBallers, it's officially crunch time for many of us. We are back with our early Week 11 fantasy football rankings. There are two teams on bye, and plenty of injury updates that will affect this week's fantasy football rankings, so we are already starting things up. As always, we like to […]
Jamaal Williams Questionable To Return In Week 11
Detroit Lions running back Jamaal Williams (thigh) was limited in practice all week and is questionable to play in Week 11 against the Cleveland Browns. Williams has missed the team's last two games, but a full week of limited practice should have him on the right side of questionable for this Sunday. Before his injury, […]
Jermar Jefferson Ruled Out For Week 11
Detroit Lions rookie running back Jermar Jefferson (ankle, knee) missed practice all week and has been ruled out for the Week 11 contest against the Cleveland Browns. Jefferson scored his second career touchdown in last week's tie with the Pittsburgh Steelers, but he'll have to sit out this weekend and could be in danger of […]
Jared Goff Doubtful, Tim Boyle Likely To Start Against Browns
The Detroit Lions listed quarterback Jared Goff (oblique) as doubtful to play in Week 11 against the Cleveland Browns. Goff was throwing the ball around in practice on Friday, but he missed the other two days this week and wasn't ready to play this weekend after straining his oblique in the Week 10 tie with […]
Week 11 Spread Picks: Ep. 63 of The Operating Room
Kev Mahserejian (@RotoSurgeon) is joined by fellow RotoBaller/TheGameDay analysts Adam Koffler (@AdamKoffler) and Frank Ammirante (@FAmmiranteTFJ) to discuss their panic levels on several underperforming and/or injured fantasy studs (Elijah Mitchell, T.J. Hockenson, Tyler Lockett, and Mike Williams) along with discussing their favorite picks against the spread for Week 11! Be sure to also tune into RotoBaller […]
Jared Goff To Throw, Lions Ready To Start Tim Boyle
Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell said that quarterback Jared Goff (oblique) will throw on Friday, but the team is ready to start Tim Boyle on Sunday against the Cleveland Browns. Goff missed practice on Thursday and Friday, and although it sounds like he's making some progress, it's probably too late in the week for […]
Fantasy Football Injury Report - Week 11 Injuries Dashboard
Fantasy Football Injuries Dashboard - Week 11 Injury Updates Anyone who has even the slightest experience with fantasy football is well aware of how impactful injuries can be.

We're officially to the playoff stretch! Hopefully if you've been following this series, it's helped you out with who to play at tight end, the worst position group in all of fantasy football. This series has touched on some of the bigger break-outs we've seen this year, including Dawson Knox who was fantastic prior to suffering […]
D'Andre Swift, Jamaal Williams Limited Thursday
Detroit Lions running backs D'Andre Swift (shoulder) and Jamaal Williams (groin) were both limited in practice for the second straight day on Thursday. Williams has missed the last two games due to injury, but he appears on track for a potential return this Sunday against the Cleveland Browns. We wouldn't expect the 26-year-old to step […]
Jermar Jefferson Trending In The Wrong Direction
Detroit Lions rookie running back Jermar Jefferson (ankle) missed his second straight day of practice this week on Thursday and seems likely to miss the Week 11 game against the Cleveland Browns after getting injured in the Week 10 tie with the Pittsburgh Steelers. Jefferson scored his second career touchdown last Sunday with Jamaal Williams […]
Jared Goff Misses Another Practice
Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff (oblique) missed another practice on Thursday. Goff suffered a strained oblique early in the Week 10 tie with the Pittsburgh Steelers, but he stayed in the game and finished the contest. Two straight missed practices this week, however, has his status in question for Week 11 against the Cleveland Browns. […]
Jermar Jefferson Held Out Of Practice
Detroit Lions rookie running back Jermar Jefferson (ankle, knee) was not able to get on the practice field on Wednesday after he was injured in the Week 10 tie with the Pittsburgh Steelers. Jefferson is unlikely to suit up this weekend against the Cleveland Browns, which would leave Godwin Igwebuike as D'Andre Swift's backup if […]
D'Andre Swift, Jamaal Williams Both Limited
Detroit Lions running backs D'Andre Swift (shoulder) and Jamaal Williams (thigh) were both limited in practice on Wednesday. The shoulder injury is a new one for Swift, but the fact that he's not missing practice is a sign that it shouldn't be an issue for him heading into a Week 11 game against the Cleveland […]
Jared Goff Will Miss Practice Wednesday
Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell said that quarterback Jared Goff (oblique) is day-to-day and will miss practice on Wednesday. Backup Tim Boyle will take first-team repetitions under center for the Lions on Wednesday. Goff suffered an oblique injury in the Week 10 tie with the Pittsburgh Steelers, but he played through the issue and […]
NFL Survivor Pool Picks (Week 11) - Targets and Avoids
The Kansas City Chiefs are back. I wrote in my Week 8 column, there would not be a better chance to buy low on the Chiefs. It was after their 27-3 drubbing by the Titans. Since then, they've won three straight. It's been ugly; they barely beat the Giants, eked by a Packers team without […]
Key Fantasy Football Data from Week 10
The Bucs came out flat after a bye and lost to the Washington Football Team, Cam Newton beat the league's best team, the Seahawks did not score a point in Russell Wilson's return, and the Steelers and Lions played to a tie. It was another strange week in the NFL. A lot of data was […]
Offensive Outliers From Week 10 - Coaching Matters
We now enter the 10th week of this series, where I dive into offensive areas that will improve or decline based on coaching in order to glean insight as to fantasy football value. In Week 10, we saw stat lines such as the Atlanta Falcons wide receivers combining for 36 receiving yards, the Dallas Cowboys tight ends combining for […]

Michael Florio's Deeper-League Waiver Wire Adds for Week 11: D'Onta Foreman, Wayne Gallman, Bryan Edwards
Hopefully Week 10 was kinder to you and your fantasy lineups after the abomination that was Week 9. I especially hope that because it's not a great waiver week. It's a week where if the right player or two are out there on waivers you can make a big splash - but outside of that […]

After 10 weeks of the regular season, some of you have been able to embrace the numbers that have been assembled by the running backs that are contained on your rosters. Unfortunately, an increasing number of you have been negatively impacted by injuries to your backs, while others have contended with disappointing output due to a […]
IDP Leagues - Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 11
It happens every NFL season. It’s something we warned you against early in these columns and it’s something few find attractive on a dating profile. It’s something most children and many adults struggle with until the day they die, and no, we are not talking about IBS. It's called impatience. Others may know it as […]
Waiver Wire Express - Week 11 Lightning Round
We're in the thick of November and those playoff pictures are starting to take shape, leaving us with a narrowing band of potential paths to the top. Week 10 was another underwhelming week and the biggest injury thus far has been Aaron Jones, though A.J. Dillon is rostered in three-fourths of leagues already. Perhaps you're […]
