Davante Adams Injury Update
Davante Adams appeared on the injury report Wednesday listed as limited due to an abdominal injury. The 29-year-old remained limited throughout the rest of the week at practice and was officially listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Denver on Friday.

The injury is a new one for Adams, but being able to participate in a limited fashion all week is a sign of his chances to suit up Sunday. The Raiders are nearly out of playoff contention at this point, but Adams will likely gut his way through the injury and should be considered a WR1 if active.
Mike Williams Injury Update
Mike Williams has been out of action since injuring his ankle in Week 7 against the Seattle Seahawks. The 28-year-old returned to the practice field this past week and even got in a full session on Friday. Los Angeles officially listed him as questionable for Sunday's game against Kansas City.

Williams is on track to make his return to the field Sunday, but monitor reports over the weekend as the Chargers play on Sunday night, making a pivot option tough to obtain. If he does suit up, Williams should be considered a WR2 with top-12 upside against the Chiefs.
JuJu Smith-Schuster Injury Update
JuJu Smith-Schuster suffered a concussion during last week's game against the Jacksonville Jaguars after taking a brutal shot to the head from safety Andre Cisco. The 25-year-old failed to log any practice participation this week and was officially ruled out for Sunday's game against the Chargers on Friday.
The Chiefs announce that WR JuJu Smith-Schuster (concussion) and CB Chris Lammons will be OUT against the Chargers on Sunday night.
— Pete Sweeney (@pgsween) November 18, 2022
Kansas City is already without Mecole Hardman (abdomen), who was placed on Injured Reserve this past week, so Kadarius Toney and Marquez Valdes-Scantling will receive the biggest boost in total targets this weekend. Toney should be considered a fringe WR2 with high upside.
Wan'Dale Robinson Injury Update
Wan'Dale Robinson had dealt with a hamstring injury earlier this season that caused him to miss time. This past Wednesday, it was reported his hamstring tightened up on him, causing him to miss Thursday's practice. He returned to the field in a limited fashion Friday and is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Detroit.

— Ryan Dunleavy (@rydunleavy) November 18, 2022
The coaching staff seems to believe Robinson will be fine for Sunday, but weekend reports will need to be monitored just in case. The matchup is great, but the rookie has amassed five targets over the past two weeks. He would be considered a desperation FLEX if active, but his absence would make Darius Slayton a much better fantasy option this week.
Jerry Jeudy Injury Update
Jerry Jeudy was carted off the field last week due to an ankle injury. The 23-year-old failed to log any practice time this past week and even though there were reports of optimism surrounding his potential status for Sunday's game against the Raiders, he was officially ruled out on Friday.
Jeudy is out. #9sports
— Mike Klis (@mikeklis) November 18, 2022
KJ Hamler (hamstring) will also miss this game, leading to an increased target share for Courtland Sutton and tight end Greg Dulcich. Both are great fantasy options in a plus matchup against a struggling Las Vegas defense.
Keenan Allen Injury Update
Keenan Allen reaggravated his hamstring injury in Week 7 against Seattle and has not played since. This week, however, the veteran receiver returned to the practice field and even put in a full session on Friday. He was officially listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Chiefs on Friday.
Mike Williams (ankle) and Keenan Allen (hamstring) are both QUESTIONABLE for Sunday night vs. Chiefs. Both receivers practiced fully today.
— Daniel Popper (@danielrpopper) November 18, 2022
Allen seems to be ready to return to action, but the fact that the game is played on Sunday night makes things a bit tricky. If he does sit one more week, then hopefully, fantasy managers have held on to Joshua Palmer as a pivot option. If Allen does suit up, he will be ranked on the WR2/3 borderline in his return to action against Kansas City.
Ja'Marr Chase Injury Update
Ja'Marr Chase has been out of action since Week 8 due to a hip injury. While there was optimism that the 22-year-old would return to practice in a limited fashion this week, he failed to log any practice time and was officially ruled out for Sunday's game against Pittsburgh on Friday.

— Jay Morrison (@JayMorrisonATH) November 18, 2022
The sophomore receiver does not seem close to returning as the Bengals brass has hoped, so fantasy managers should continue to operate as if he will be out for the next week or so. Tee Higgins, Tyler Boyd, and tight end Hayden Hurst will continue to see their target shares increase with Chase sidelined.
Corey Davis Injury Update
Corey Davis has been out since Week 8 due to a knee injury he suffered in Week 7. While there was optimism that the 27-year-old would make his return this week after coming off the Jets bye, Davis failed to return to practice in any capacity and was officially ruled out for Sunday's game against the Patriots on Friday.
Saleh said the Jets are confident that Corey Davis will be back next week.
— Brian Costello (@BrianCoz) November 18, 2022
Head coach Robert Saleh continues to preach that the veteran receiver is close to a return and should be good to go next week, but we will believe it when we see him return to practice. Garrett Wilson remains the only startable wide receiver on the Jets for fantasy purposes at the moment.
Josh Reynolds Injury Update
Josh Reynolds has been out of action since Week 9 due to a lingering back injury. The 27-year-old returned to the practice field on Thursday but was held out on Friday. The team officially listed him as questionable for Sunday's game against the New York Giants.

WR Josh Reynolds
EDGE Josh Paschal

C Frank Ragnow
— Jeremy Reisman (@DetroitOnLion) November 18, 2022
The downgrade on Friday does not bode well for Reynolds' chances to suit up on Sunday, making this questionable tag feel more like an optimistic one rather than a realistic designation. His absence will thrust Kalif Raymond back into the starting lineup opposite Amon-Ra St. Brown, but he would not be a recommended fantasy option in Week 11.
DeVante Parker Injury Update
DeVante Parker suffered a knee injury in Week 8 against the New York Jets and has been out ever since. The 29-year-old returned to practice this week in a limited fashion and was officially listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the New York Jets.
The Patriots ruled out DT Christian Barmore (knee) for Sunday’s game against the Jets. The rest of the injury report:
DOUBTFUL⁰P Jake Bailey (back)
QUESTIONABLE⁰LB Anfernee Jennings (back)⁰WR DeVante Parker (knee)⁰LB Josh Uche (hamstring)
— Chad Graff (@ChadGraff) November 18, 2022
Parker seems to be ready to make his return to the field, giving a much-needed boost to the Patriots passing attack. He is a tough-to-trust WR4/5 this week against a stiff Jets defense in Week 11 but can be added to fantasy benches as a potential spot start over the coming weeks.
KJ Hamler Injury Update
KJ Hamler went down in Wednesday's practice with a hamstring injury and has been held out since. The 23-year-old was officially ruled out for Sunday's matchup against Las Vegas on Friday.
Broncos’ HC Nathaniel Hackett told reporters today that wide receiver KJ Hamler will miss the next few weeks due to his hamstring injury.
— Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) November 16, 2022
Hamler is set to miss the next few weeks due to the injury. Denver will also be missing Jerry Jeudy (ankle), leaving the Denver wide receiver corps thin behind starter Courtland Sutton. Tight end Greg Dulcich should see an increase in targets due to Hamler's absence.
Kenny Golladay Injury Update
Kenny Golladay has dealt with a lingering knee injury this season. He was downgraded to limited participation in Thursday's practice and was officially listed as questionable for Sunday's game against his former team, the Detroit Lions, on Friday.
Giants Thursday injury report:
DNP:
TE Daniel Bellinger (Eye)
OL Josh Ezeudu (Neck)
WR Wan’Dale Robinson (Hamstring)
Limited:
S Dane Belton (Clavicle)
WR Kenny Golladay (Hamstring)
DL Dexter Lawrence (Back)
T Evan Neal (Knee)
OLB Kayvon Thibodeaux (Illness)
OLB Jihad Ward (Thumb)— Paul Schwartz (@NYPost_Schwartz) November 17, 2022
Golladay drew two targets last week and dropped one of them. He was then used sparingly in the second half. The veteran receiver has yet to provide any fantasy-relevant finishes this season, and it is tough to imagine he will do so this week even if he is active against his former team.
