Breece Hall Set to Face League's Top Rush D
New York Jets running back Breece Hall will get another stiff test this week when his team takes on their division-rival New England Patriots on the road at Gillette Stadium. Hall and the Jets got their second win of the season in Week 10, riding two special teams touchdowns to victory. Despite the offense's struggles against an imposing Cleveland defense, the former second-round pick rewarded fantasy managers who stuck with him, posting at least 100 scrimmage yards and a score in his second consecutive appearance. Hall did most of his damage on a 42-yard touchdown grab, but it was nice to see New York lean on him. That should be the case again, particularly with wide receiver Garrett Wilson (knee) set to miss potentially a month. The Iowa State product won't have it easy, as New England has yielded the fewest rushing yards per contest (79.2). That said, he's the only playmaker still standing and should benefit from Wilson's absence in the passing game. Hall lands as RotoBaller's PPR RB17 for his matchup on Thursday Night Football.

Ladd McConkey Limited During Wednesday's Practice
Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Ladd McConkey (ankle) was a limited participant during Wednesday's practice session. It appears McConkey picked up a minor ankle injury during last weekend's contest. McConkey didn't appear to be impacted by it as he recorded four receptions for 107 yards and a touchdown in the win over the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Chargers are likely just being cautious with their young stud wideout early in the week. Barring any setbacks, McConkey should be out there for the Week 11 matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Tyrod Taylor to Start in Place of Fields?
Leading up to their Thursday night road matchup with the New England Patriots, New York Jets head coach Aaron Glenn has refused to name a starting quarterback, again leaving doubt about whether it will be Justin Fields or Tyrod Taylor leading the offense. Although Glenn has stuck with Fields for the Jets' previous two games, the Ohio State alum put together another dismal performance in last weekend's 27-20 victory over the Cleveland Browns. In truth, it will be difficult to trust either in Week 11 outside of superflex/2QB formats, given New York will be without its top receiving threat, Garrett Wilson (knee). Even then, New England's defense has been stifling in 2025, affording the eighth-fewest total yards per contest (306.2) to opposing offenses. Fantasy managers can steer clear of this QB room until the offense gets back on track.

Oronde Gadsden Practices in Full on Wednesday
Los Angeles Chargers tight end Oronde Gadsden (knee) was able to get through a full practice session on Wednesday. Gadsden was forced to make an early exit during Sunday's win over the Pittsburgh Steelers. He hauled in three of his six targets for 13 yards before exiting due to a knee injury. It appears Gadsden has avoided any significant injuries and is on pace to play against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 11. The injury ruined his fantasy value last weekend, but Gadsden has been a viable option outside of that game.

Justin Fields Eyes Rebound on Thursday Night
New York Jets quarterback Justin Fields put another rough outing on paper in Week 10, again leaving his status as the team's starter in doubt as they head into a Thursday night clash with the hosting New England Patriots. Coming out of the Jets' bye, Fields posted his fourth appearance of the campaign with fewer than ten completed passes and a less-than 55% completion rate. It was a tough outing against a strong Cleveland defense, and the former Pittsburgh Steeler won't find much reprieve in the Pats. New England has clamped down on opposing rushing attacks in 2025, allowing the fewest yards on the ground per game (79.2), while yielding the sixth-fewest points (19.2). Fields could always pop off with his legs, but he'll take a hit again while being without his top target in Garrett Wilson (knee). The 26-year-old is RotoBaller's QB26 ahead of Thursday's road bout.

Chris Godwin Puts in Limited Practice on Wednesday
Updating previous reports, Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin (leg) was officially listed as a limited participant in the team's walkthrough practice on Wednesday, according to the team's website. Godwin wasn't seen at the portion of practice open to the media, but he did get onto the field later in the day, perhaps giving him a chance to play this Sunday against the Buffalo Bills for the first time since injuring his fibula in Week 5. The 29-year-old appears to be making progress, but head coach Todd Bowles said earlier this week that he didn't expect Godwin to play in Week 11. Both Godwin and running back Bucky Irving (foot, shoulder) were limited, but it doesn't mean they'll be available versus the Bills. Tampa is taking a cautious approach with Godwin, who suffered a season-ending dislocated ankle in Week 7 of last year. Don't be surprised if he's not back until the calendar flips to December.

Sam LaPorta Misses Practice With Back Injury Wednesday
Detroit Lions tight end Sam LaPorta (back) was a non-participant in the first practice of the week on Wednesday due to a back injury, according to the team's website. LaPorta has two more chances to return to practice this week, but the 24-year-old's status definitely bears watching as the team prepares for a Sunday night showdown in Week 11 versus the Philadelphia Eagles. If LaPorta's injury is serious enough to keep him from playing this weekend, Brock Wright would get added opportunities in Detroit's high-scoring offense. However, fantasy managers would still have better streaming options at the TE position this week. If LaPorta cannot play, targets in the Lions' offense would probably be distributed more among running back Jahmyr Gibbs and receivers Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jameson Williams. LaPorta has a nice 40-489-3 line on 49 targets through 10 weeks and is a must-start in fantasy when he's active.

Drake London Under the Weather, Misses Practice on Wednesday
Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London (illness) did not practice on Wednesday due to an illness, according to Tori McElhaney of AtlantaFalcons.com. London should be feeling better later in the week and should be fine to take the field this Sunday for a divisional contest against the visiting Carolina Panthers, where he'll be a must-start in fantasy football. The 24-year-old got off to a slow start in 2025 in quarterback Michael Penix Jr.'s first full season as the starter, but he has come on strong late, scoring four touchdowns in his last five games. In the first meeting with Carolina in a 30-0 loss on Sept. 21, London caught five of his eight targets for 55 yards and no touchdowns. Atlanta is looking to put a halt to their three-game losing streak, and London should be heavily involved in that effort this weekend. Look for him to return to practice on Thursday or Friday.

Ricky Pearsall Limited in his Return to Practice on Wednesday
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Ricky Pearsall (knee) returned to practice on Thursday for the first time since suffering a sprained PCL in his knee in Week 4. Nick Wagoner of ESPN reports that Pearsall was slated to be limited in his first practice back. It gives Pearsall a chance to return this weekend for a divisional game against the Arizona Cardinals, but the 25-year-old former first-rounder will probably need to upgrade to a full practice on Thursday or Friday to have a legitimate shot at returning on Sunday. Given his long layoff, fantasy managers should expect Pearsall to be eased back into the offense as well, which means he'll be a pretty risky fantasy play whenever he does return. In addition to Pearsall nearing his return, the Niners could have quarterback Brock Purdy (toe) back for the first time since Week 4. When Pearsall returns, he could be the No. 4 aerial target behind running back Christian McCaffrey, receiver Jauan Jennings, and tight end George Kittle.

J.J. McCarthy Officially Limited in Wednesday's Practice
Updating a previous report, Minnesota Vikings quarterback J.J. McCarthy (hand) was officially limited in practice on Wednesday, according to Alec Lewis of The Athletic. McCarthy had some swelling in his right throwing hand after hitting it on a helmet during Sunday's loss to the Baltimore Ravens. While the second-year signal-caller may be a bit limited in practice this week as a result, he's fully expected to play this Sunday against the Chicago Bears in Week 11. The 22-year-old former first-rounder finished 20-for-42 passing for a career-high 248 yards, a touchdown, and two interceptions in the Week 10 loss to the Ravens. McCarthy started strong but struggled to put drives together after the first quarter. He has shown upside in his first four NFL games in 2025 after missing all of 2024 with a knee injury. However, fantasy managers hoping for more for the rest of this year must be willing to live with the ups and downs as he continues to develop.

J.K. Dobbins Not Practicing, IR Move Undecided
Denver Broncos running back J.K. Dobbins (foot) is not practicing on Wednesday, according to 9 News' Mike Klis. When asked if the team is still deciding whether Dobbins will go on Injured Reserve, head coach Sean Payton said, "Nothing has been decided yet. At some point, there will be more clarity." Dobbins injured his foot late in last Thursday's 10-7 victory over the Las Vegas Raiders. If he goes on IR, he would be forced to miss at least four games, which obviously would be a significant domino in Denver's backfield. At the very least, the 30-year-old is unlikely to play in a huge divisional clash this Sunday against the Kansas City Chiefs, lining up rookie second-rounder RJ Harvey for clear lead-back duties for the first time in his NFL career. In his first year in Denver, Dobbins has been solid for the Broncos, gaining 772 yards on the ground and scoring four times on 153 rushing attempts. An extended absence from Dobbins would be a significant blow to an already struggling Broncos offense.

RJ Harvey to Have a Bigger Role Against Chiefs
Denver Broncos head coach Sean Payton said that rookie second-round running back RJ Harvey will "have a bigger role this week," according to Zac Stevens of DNVR Sports. "He'll have more opportunities in this game. He's built to last, and that's important," McVay added. Lead back J.K. Dobbins suffered a foot injury late in last Thursday's 10-7 win over the Las Vegas Raiders, and the Broncos are considering placing him on Injured Reserve, which would sideline him for at least four games. Denver doesn't have a great matchup against the division-rival Kansas City Chiefs, who are coming off their bye, this Sunday, but Harvey's increased volume alone will give him RB2 upside in fantasy football in Week 11. With Dobbins likely out this weekend, Tyler Badie should jump up into the RB2 role, with Jaleel McLaughlin probably being active as the No. 3.

Davante Adams Out Wednesday, Expected to Play in Week 11
Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay said that wide receiver Davante Adams (oblique) will not practice on Wednesday, but he's expected to be "ready to play" on Sunday against the division-rival Seattle Seahawks in Week 11, according to Gary Klein of the Los Angeles Times. Adams sustained an oblique injury in Sunday's victory over the San Francisco 49ers, but it's clearly not a major injury for the 32-year-old pass-catcher, so he should be available for fantasy managers this weekend in a very important divisional matchup. Adams didn't return to the Week 10 game, but McVay said the veteran wideout could have made it back if it had been a close game. Teammate Puka Nacua continues to be a target hog in this offense, but there has been enough to go around for Adams, too, and the six-time Pro Bowler has found the end zone a league-high nine times in nine games. Start Adams in all leagues if he's ready to go by Sunday, despite the tough matchup.

Graham Gano Going on Injured Reserve, Won't Kick Again This Season
The New York Giants placed kicker Graham Gano (neck) on Injured Reserve on Wednesday due to the neck injury that he's been dealing with, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. It's the second time that Gano has been on IR this year, so his season will come to an end after only five games played in 2025. The 38-year-old veteran kicker went 9-for-10 on his field-goal attempts (he made his only 50-yard attempt) and 9-for-9 on extra points. The G-Men explored using Jude McAtamney for a short bit with Gano injured this year, but that didn't work out, and they are set to continue with former Falcons kicker Younghoe Koo in their Week 11 contest this Sunday against the visiting Green Bay Packers. In last week's loss to the Bears, Koo made both of his field goals and both of his extra points. He shouldn't be on the streaming radar in fantasy this week, though, with quarterback Jameis Winston taking over for the injured Jaxson Dart (concussion).

Kayshon Boutte Ruled Out for Thursday Night
The New England Patriots have ruled out wide receiver Kayshon Boutte (hamstring) for the Thursday night game against the division-rival New York Jets, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. Boutte will miss a second straight game this week after injuring his hamstring in the Week 9 win over the Atlanta Falcons. The 23-year-old's next chance to return to action will come in Week 12 against the Cincinnati Bengals. With Boutte sidelined again, Stefon Diggs, Mack Hollins, and DeMario Douglas should be New England's top receivers in a plus matchup against the two-win Jets, although rookie Kyle Williams, who had a 72-yard touchdown on Sunday, will also be more involved. Diggs has been super efficient and has had a nose for the end zone in his first year with the Pats, but Hollins should also be considered as a sneaky flex option on a short week with Boutte sidelined.
