De'Von Achane Injury Update
Achane (knee) was limited in practice all week long and is officially questionable to play on Sunday versus the Raiders. Head coach Mike McDaniel said that he expects the rookie to play, though he'll first need to be activated from injured reserve. Assuming Achane is active, he'll rank as a fantasy RB2 with significant RB1 upside.
Aaron Jones Injury Update
Jones (hamstring) was limited in practice all week long but does not carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Chargers. The veteran has made frequent appearances on the injury report all season long as the Packers avoid overworking their franchise running back on non-gamedays. He'll suit up in Week 11, ranking as a strong RB2 versus Los Angeles' poor defense.
Alexander Mattison Injury Update
Mattison (concussion) made significant progress this week and ultimately logged a full practice session on Friday. He's officially listed as questionable for Week 11 versus Denver, but the team has optimism about his status. If active, he'll operate as the Vikings' top running back and should be started in most fantasy leagues.
Khalil Herbert Injury Update
Herbert (ankle, shin) logged back-to-back full practices and does not carry an injury report into Sunday's game against the Lions. He still needs to be activated from injured reserve, but that's merely a formality at this point. Fantasy managers should view him as a low-end RB3/FLEX play against a stingy Lions run defense.
Raheem Mostert Injury Update
Mostert (ankle, knee) was limited in practice all week long but has been cleared to play in Week 11. He could operate in tandem with Achane, but fantasy managers shouldn't panic too much considering the veteran and the rookie have shown that they can coexist. Mostert ranks as a mid-to-low RB2 in fantasy football versus Vegas.
Saquon Barkley Injury Update
Barkley (ankle) was limited in practice all week long but does not carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Commanders. If the Giants want to keep pace with Washington, they'll need to feed Barkley. By doing so, they'll get the ball into the hands of their top playmaker while draining the clock and keeping the Commanders' offense off the field. Look for Barkley to handle heavy volume in Week 11, putting him in the mid-range RB1 tier.
Dameon Pierce Injury Update
Pierce (ankle) upgraded to a limited participant in practice on Friday. However, the Texans have ruled him out for Week 11 versus the Cardinals. Although he won't be suiting up on Sunday, it's still promising that Pierce was able to get back on the field for the first time in nearly three weeks. In his absence, Devin Singletary will start at running back and could push to remain atop the depth chart even after Pierce returns.
Antonio Gibson Injury Update
Gibson (toe) was unable to practice this week and is officially listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Giants. Barring a remarkably fast and unexpected recovery, Gibson will be sidelined in Week 11. Brian Robinson Jr. is the only Commanders running back on the fantasy radar.
Samaje Perine Injury Update
Perine (ankle) popped up on the injury report after logging a limited practice session on Friday. However, he does not carry an injury designation into this weekend's game. The pass-catching back will suit up but only has fantasy appeal in deep leagues.
D'Onta Foreman Injury Update
Foreman (ankle) was limited in practice all week long and is officially questionable to face the Lions on Sunday. Between his injury, Herbert's return, and the Lions' strong run defense, Foreman isn't a viable fantasy option in Week 11.
Emari Demercado Injury Update
Demercado (toe) was downgraded to a non-participant on Friday and was subsequently ruled out for Week 11 versus Houston. It's never good to see a player's status decline from limited to absent, yet that was the case with Arizona's rookie heading into this weekend. Keaontay Ingram will operate as the Cardinals' No. 2 running back but isn't on the fantasy radar.
Isaiah Spiller Injury Update
Spiller (illness) was added to the injury report on Friday after missing his first practice of the week. He's questionable to play in Week 11 and his status will depend on whether he's able to get healthy prior to kickoff on Sunday. Regardless, the 22-year-old belongs on fantasy waivers.
