ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that University of North Carolina head coach Bill Belichick has "not and will not pursue any NFL head-coaching vacancies." "I have great respect and genuinely care for the New York Giants organization and both the Mara and Tisch families. The New York Giants played an important role in my life and in my coaching journey. It was a privilege for me to work for the Mara family and be a member of Coach Parcells' staff for over a decade. However, despite circulating rumors, I have not and will not pursue any NFL head coaching vacancies," Belichick said in a statement. The New England Patriots legend won two Super Bowl rings with the Giants before joining the Pats, but he's not considering leaving the college ranks after the Giants fired head coach Brian Daboll earlier this week.

Buffalo Bills wide receiver
Khalil Shakir (ankle, ribs) was able to practice in full on Friday and was removed from the Week 11 injury report, according to Alec White of BuffaloBills.com. Shakir will be able to play on Sunday against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers despite being limited for two practices this week with ankle and rib injuries. It's good news for the Bills' offense after they ruled out tight end
Dalton Kincaid with a hamstring injury he suffered in the Week 10 loss to the Miami Dolphins. The Bills will also be getting receiver
Joshua Palmer (ankle, knee) back. As long as Shakir isn't limited this weekend, he should be quarterback
Josh Allen's top aerial target, as he leads the Bills in receiving in 2025 and has a 45/457/3 line on 58 targets through nine games. Fantasy managers should consider Shakir as a WR3/flex play in Week 11.

Washington Commanders running back
Jeremy McNichols hasn't been a relevant fantasy option in most leagues this season, serving as the team's third-down back. McNichols handled a season-high five carries for 25 yards in Washington's blowout loss last week to the Detroit Lions. The 25 yards were his most in a game since his Week 3 performance against the Raiders, where he rushed for 78 yards and a touchdown on four carries. The 29-year-old isn't involved enough to be considered outside of the deepest leagues.

Philadelphia Eagles offensive tackle Lane Johnson (ankle), center Cam Jurgens (knee), and offensive guard Landon Dickerson (quadriceps) were all removed from the Week 11 injury report on Friday and are good to go for the Sunday night contest against the visiting Detroit Lions, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. Johnson left the Monday night game against the Green Bay Packers with an ankle injury, but he's ready to go against Detroit. Jurgens, meanwhile, will be returning after a two-game absence due to a knee injury he suffered in Week 7. The 26-year-old was seen wearing a brace during Thursday's practice. Dickerson, the starting left guard, will make his 10th straight start this year. Philly's O-line is at full strength against a tough Detroit D-line, which is good news for the Eagles' offense in Week 11.

Washington Commanders rookie running back
Jacory Croskey-Merritt has lost hold of the lead-back duties with
Chris Rodriguez Jr. taking over in Week 10 against the Lions. Croskey-Merrit wound up leading Washington with 11 carries for 30 yards in the game, but that was due to Rodriguez leaving the game early with a shoulder injury. Rodriguez played 68% of the snaps to Croskey-Merritt's 16% in the first half and is off the injury report heading into Sunday. The past five games have been disappointing for the rookie seventh-rounder and ultimately led to the coaching staff going in a different direction with Rodriguez, who has done a better job of taking what is blocked. Croskey-Merritt should still be involved on some early downs, but he's best left on the bench for Washington's Week 11 matchup against the Miami Dolphins in Madrid, Spain.

The Chicago Bears ruled out linebacker T.J. Edwards (hand, hamstring) from the Week 11 contest on Sunday against the Minnesota Vikings, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. Edwards is dealing with multiple injuries and was unable to practice all week. The 29-year-old will miss a second straight game, although Chicago's defense/special teams unit should still be considered a top-10 fantasy option this weekend against an inexperienced and turnover-prone young Vikings quarterback in
J.J. McCarthy. Edwards has been productive for the Bears' defense this year when he's been on the field, collecting 31 total tackles and three pass breakups in five games played. Chicago's defense currently leads the NFL with 20 total takeaways, which matches them up nicely this week with Minnesota, a team that is tied for second in the league with 16 giveaways.

Atlanta Falcons running back
Bijan Robinson has had at least 86 yards from scrimmage in eight of nine games he's played so far this season and is averaging almost five catches per contest, but he has been stuck on four touchdowns (two rushing, two receiving) since last finding paydirt in Week 7. Week 11 brings a home matchup against the Panthers, a defense that is middle of the pack this year in terms of fantasy points allowed to opposing running backs, but that has allowed 157 yards rushing per game over the last three weeks, which is the fourth-highest total in the league. The 23-year-old tallied 72 rush yards and 39 receiving yards the last time these teams squared off in Week 3, and he appears set for a similar workload on Sunday. The third-year pro projects as a top-three running back this week in a game that the Falcons have an implied total of over three touchdowns (22.5), and is as reliable as they come with his high fantasy floor.

The Denver Broncos defense will be missing some key contributors this Sunday in a crucial AFC West showdown in Week 11 against the visiting Kansas City Chiefs, as All-Pro cornerback Pat Surtain (pectoral) and linebackers Alex Singleton (illness) and Jonah Elliss (hamstring) have been ruled out, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Surtain, last year's Defensive Player of the Year, suffered a pectoral injury in Week 8 and will be missing his third straight game. The 25-year-old might be able to return after the team's Week 12 bye, but it's not a guarantee. Singleton had surgery last Friday for testicular cancer. The 31-year-old is doing well, but he also won't be a lock to return in Week 13 against the Commanders. The Broncos' defense/special teams has been a top-10 fantasy unit this year, but they'll be more of a low-end starting option this week against a rested Chiefs offense coming off its bye.

Washington Commanders running back
Chris Rodriguez Jr. (shoulder) is off the injury report and is good to go for Week 11 against the Miami Dolphins in Madrid, Spain. Rodriguez was a full participant in practice every day this week, and he should be in line to lead Washington's backfield in carries on Sunday. The 25-year-old played 17 of the team's 25 snaps, handled six of the 10 running back carries, and ran seven routes on 13 dropbacks in the first half before leaving with the injury. Rodriguez has scored touchdowns in three of the past four weeks and is the much better fit as the short-yardage back for Washington due to his physical running style and ability to fight through contact. Rookie
Jacory Croskey-Merritt played only four snaps and had two carries in the first half, but then played the majority of the snaps in the second half with Rodriguez out. Offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury said Rodriguez "has played at a high level" when given the opportunity and has upside in a positive matchup against the Dolphins, who have allowed 4.9 yards per carry and the ninth most PPR points per game to opposing running backs. Rodriguez is a better play in standard and half PPR formats due to his limited receiving upside, checking in as RotoBaller's RB32 in half PPR for Week 11.

Denver Broncos wide receiver
Marvin Mims Jr. (concussion) was able to practice in full this week and has been cleared to face the division-rival Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday in Week 11. Mims suffered a concussion in Week 8 and missed the last two games, but he'll be back as the Broncos look to separate themselves further atop the AFC West division. It's good news for a struggling Denver offense, but things won't get any easier this weekend against a tough KC defense that is coming off its bye. The 23-year-old Mims is a big play waiting to happen, but he hasn't had enough volume in 2025 to be a realistic WR4/flex play in 12-team fantasy football leagues. Coming into Week 11, has taken a back seat to second-year man
Troy Franklin, catching 22 of 32 targets for 234 yards and one touchdown in eight games. Mims' return will also put a dent in Franklin's upside in a bad matchup.

Cincinnati Bengals running back
Samaje Perine (ankle) didn't practice at all this week and has officially been ruled out for the Week 11 contest on Sunday against the division-rival Pittsburgh Steelers. Perine is still banged up coming out of the team's bye, and his next chance to return will come in Week 12 against the New England Patriots.
Chase Browns will continue to see most of the backfield touches for the Bengals this weekend, with rookie
Tahj Brooks set to serve in the RB2 role. If Cincy wants more depth behind those two, they can elevate one of
Gary Brightwell or
Kendall Milton from their practice squad for Sunday's game. The 30-year-old Perine is merely a deep-league handcuff in point-per-reception formats if you have Brown rostered. He has 32 carries for 198 yards and a touchdown while adding seven catches for 30 yards in his nine games played in 2025.

Arizona Cardinals running back
Bam Knight (ankle) was limited in practice all week and is listed as questionable to play on Sunday against the division-rival San Francisco 49ers in Week 11. Knight was once again the team's starting RB in last weekend's blowout loss to the Seattle Seahawks, with
Trey Benson (knee) still on Injured Reserve, but now his status is up in the air. The 24-year-old should be able to suit up, but his ankle injury could open the door for both
Emari Demercado and
Michael Carter to see more backfield touches. Knight had only 33 scrimmage yards on 11 touches before his ankle injury in Week 10, and he hasn't been very efficient since taking over in Arizona. Even when healthy, Knight's RB1 role hasn't been very secure, with Demercado seeing 14 carries in Week 9. If Knight is active, he'll be a pretty wishy-washy RB3/flex with limited upside for fantasy managers.

Seattle Seahawks tight end
AJ Barner (calf) is in a position to receive a few targets against the Los Angeles Rams in Week 11. Additionally, Barner has as good a chance as anyone on the Seahawks, not named
Jaxon Smith-Njigba, to score a touchdown. Barner's volume has not been high this year, but the touchdowns are anchoring him in fantasy football. The Rams are No. 17 against opposing tight ends in fantasy. They are relatively vulnerable to a position that does not have many elite options. Although Barner was on a tear for a while, he is relatively available in a lot of leagues still, given his current cold streak. With players such as Indianapolis Colts tight end
Tyler Warren on a bye, Barner is a potential starting option this week. Given the lack of solid options on the waiver wire, you could do worse than Barner. Just do not expect a world-beating week from the second-year pro. It is worth noting that Barner has been dealing with a calf injury this week, but he turned in three full practices. As such, the injury is not a concern.

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver
Rashid Shaheed could see his involvement increase in Week 11 against the Los Angeles Rams. Seattle will be without wide receiver
Tory Horton (groin/shin) in this game. Horton is Seattle's other deep-play threat who could threaten Shaheed's touches. Shaheed was only on the field for 34% of the Seahawks' offensive snaps in Week 11. Part of that was likely due to the game script removing the need for additional offensive output as Seattle was dominating the Cardinals. Still, Seattle was intentional with trying to get Shaheed the ball. He garnered three targets, including a couple of plays clearly schemed for him. The Rams are near the top of the league in defending all facets of the game. However, all Shaheed needs is one big play to make his fantasy day. Ironically, Shaheed just faced the Rams in Week 9 as a member of the New Orleans Saints. He reeled in five catches for 68 targets for a solid fantasy day. As such, Shaheed could be a solid dart throw if you are in dire straits at the wide receiver position.

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver
Cooper Kupp (hamstring, wrist) looks like he will play on Sunday against the Los Angeles Rams. Kupp was a question mark entering this week, but he did enough during practice to receive the go-ahead.. Unfortunately, Kupp should be overlooked as a fantasy option. The volume simply is not there for the veteran. To make matters worse, the Rams are one of the better defenses in the NFL. This does not project to necessarily be a high-volume passing game between two teams with stellar defenses. Kupp has exceeded three targets on just three occasions this season. With the addition of wide receiver
Rashid Shaheed at the trade deadline, Kupp figures to cede more volume in this offense. Seattle may give Kupp chances to prove to his old team that he still has what it takes in this league, but do not bank on that narrative. You are better off with Kupp on your bench this week.
