Cincinnati Bengals quarterback
Joe Burrow (toe) and defensive end Trey Hendrickson (hip) are both inactive ahead of the Week 11 matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Despite that, both players appear to be heading in the positive direction. Burrow was able to get through limited practice sessions all week. It sounds like he's still multiple weeks away, but the fact he's practicing is a positive step forward. Hendrickson missed practice all week and won't suit up for the second straight game. However, the Bengals have decided not to place him on the injured reserve. It sounds like he's currently week-to-week, but he might not be lost for the season.

New York Giants quarterback
Jaxson Dart (concussion) has been ruled out ahead of the Week 11 matchup against the Green Bay Packers. However, the Giants are hopeful that Dart will be able to return in Week 12. The rookie quarterback has been solid with 1,417 passing yards, 10 touchdowns, and three interceptions in nine games. However, he continues to put himself in danger with how he runs the football. The organization is urging Dart to change his running style going forward. This isn't the first time Dart has been evaluated for a concussion and he hasn't played a full season. The Giants want to make sure they protect their franchise quarterback going forward. Dart is having success on the ground with 317 yards on 57 attempts while scoring seven touchdowns. It doesn't sound like the Giants want to take the part of his game away, but they want him to be smarter when he's doing it.

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver/defensive back
Travis Hunter (knee) unfortunately saw his rookie campaign come to an early end. Hunter was only able to play in seven games before suffering a season-ending knee injury that required surgery. There was speculation that Hunter might make the switch to one position following this injury. So far, the Jags have stated they plan to continue using Hunter as a two-way player. His injury occurred during a non-contact play during practice, so it doesn't sound like it had anything to do with the wear-and-tear of playing two positions. He finished his rookie season with 28 receptions for 298 yards and one touchdown.

Arizona Cardinals running back
Bam Knight (ankle) is currently listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's Week 11 matchup against the San Francisco 49ers. Despite that, Knight is expected to play this weekend, according to Adam Schefter. Knight is stuck in a committee with
Emari Demercado and
Michael Carter. Last week, Knight saw 10 carries for 28 yards in the loss to the Seattle Seahawks. He hasn't been successful on the ground lately, so consider him a low-end flex option for Week 11.

ESPN's Adam Schefter notes that Houston Texans quarterback
C.J. Stroud (concussion) is not guaranteed to clear concussion protocol by the time the team lines up for their matchup with the Buffalo Bills on Thursday Night Football in Week 12. Stroud suffered a concussion in Week 9, and he's now been officially ruled out for a second consecutive contest. As it stands, he could miss another, considering Houston's quick turnaround this coming Thursday. The third-year pro may be able to get right before his contest with the Bills, although it's currently looking like teammate
Davis Mills has a significant chance to lead the team for a third game in his absence. Fantasy managers should monitor Stroud's status over the coming days.

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver
Quentin Johnston (shin) is expected to be active for Sunday's meeting with the hosting Jacksonville Jaguars, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Johnston led the team in targets during last weekend's 25-10 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers, simultaneously sustaining a shin injury. Despite starting the week with consecutive limited practices, the TCU product was able to upgrade his status to full on Friday, hinting that he should be good to handle his typical allotment of snaps when they take on the Jags. Johnston has seen his early-season production tail off in recent weeks, though he remains a solid WR3/flex asset with the potential for a big play. If he's unable to suit up, rookie wideout
Tre' Harris would be in line for an uptick in snaps behind
Keenan Allen and
Ladd McConkey.

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver
Drake London (back, illness) is planning to play this Sunday when his team squares off with the Carolina Panthers at home. ESPN's Adam Schefter reported the news. The 24-year-old had a weird week. After returning from Germany, London fell ill and was tagged with a DNP for Wednesday's practice. He'd return to a limited capacity the ensuing two days, but picked up a back injury in the process. As of now, it appears that he'll attempt to give it a go. However, fantasy managers will want to keep an eye on him up until game time, considering his designation. If, for some reason, he fails to suit up, teammates
Darnell Mooney and
David Sills V would be deployed in two-wide-receiver sets against a Panthers' defense that's been unkind to wide receivers.

According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, Los Angeles Rams wide receiver
Davante Adams (oblique) is expected to be active for Week 11's clash with the visiting Seattle Seahawks. The fantasy stalwart tweaked his oblique in last Sunday's victory against their division-rival 49ers, opening the week of practice as a DNP. However, Adams' injury was never considered significant, and he practiced in a limited capacity on back-to-back days ahead of this weekend's outing. The veteran has been a touchdown machine in 2025, scoring nine in as many appearances. As such, fantasy managers should have no qualms slotting him into their lineups if he's active. Even in a less-than-ideal matchup, Adams is a fringey WR1 considering his scoring upside.

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports that Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver
Brian Thomas Jr. (ankle) is not expected to suit up for Sunday's home tilt with the Los Angeles Chargers. The LSU product has been battling an ankle injury for a few weeks now. Despite practicing in a limited fashion leading up to Week 11's contest, it appears that he'll miss his second consecutive game. If that comes to fruition, teammates
Parker Washington,
Tim Patrick, and
Jakobi Meyers figure to operate in three-wide-receiver sets against the Bolts. Patrick ran ahead of Meyers last weekend, but that could change this Sunday as the latter becomes more comfortable in his new surroundings.

According to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler, Tennessee Titans wide receiver
Calvin Ridley (hamstring) is expected to play in Sunday's meeting with Houston. The wideout has been out of commission since Week 7 because of a hamstring injury. Although it appeared he had a chance to return over the last few weeks, it seems he'll finally be back on the field. Ridley hasn't had a strong 2025 campaign, amassing 16 catches (35 targets) for 290 yards while failing to find the end zone. All things considered, he's not the safest fantasy option, considering
Cam Ward hasn't been good all year. Ridley will also draw a tough matchup with a formidable Texans defense, which isn't an ideal scenario in his first game in over a month.

Cincinnati Bengals kicker
Evan McPherson has been a more consistent option over the last few weeks. Over the last three games, McPherson has made 7-of-8 field goal attempts, while connecting on all 12 extra point kicks during that span. The Bengals offense has been moving the ball better lately with
Joe Flacco under center. They head into a matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 11. McPherson knocked down seven kicks during their last meeting. Given his recent success, McPherson is worth a look as a streaming option for fantasy managers in need of a kicker in Week 11.

Tennessee Titans wide receiver
Van Jefferson has been a non-factor in the offense over the last few weeks. Jefferson has seen increased playing time with
Calvin Ridley (hamstring) missing each of the last three games. During that time, Jefferson has been held to six receptions for 68 yards and has been held out of the end zone. Right now, Ridley is questionable for the upcoming Week 11 matchup against the Houston Texans. If he sits, Jefferson will probably play over 80 percent of the offensive snaps, but that hasn't helped his fantasy value. Jefferson should be viewed as a touchdown-dependent option for Week 11.

Chicago Bears tight end
Cole Kmet (back) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Minnesota Vikings. He was limited to begin the week, but has been cleared to play after getting in back-to-back full practice sessions. Despite being active, Kmet hasn't been much of a factor in the offense lately. In fact, Kmet has been held to one reception in each of his last four games. He continues to split up reps with
Colston Loveland who has been the much better fantasy option. At the moment, it's tough to imagine Kmet having much fantasy value going forward. He'll be a touchdown-dependent option for Week 11.

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver
Xavier Weaver is expected to see an expanded role during the upcoming Week 11 matchup against the San Francisco 49ers. Weaver has barely played this season, and sat out last week's game due to an ankle issue. He appears to be healthy now and ready to make an impact. Weaver could be asked to step up with
Marvin Harrison Jr. (appendix) ruled out for Sunday's game. He figures to serve as the third wideout behind
Michael Wilson and
Greg Dortch. Weaver hasn't done enough on the field to warrant starting this weekend.

November 15, 2025
Arizona Cardinals tight end
Elijah Higgins has seen an increased role on offense over the last few weeks. Over the last two games, Higgins has hauled in five of his six targets for 49 yards. Despite that, he remains the backup to
Trey McBride, who is one of the best tight ends in the league. It's possible that Higgins does see a slightly larger workload with
Marvin Harrison Jr. (appendix) out in Week 11. Normally, Higgins has been playing about 40 percent of the offensive snaps. There's a chance that does increase, but probably not by too much. Higgins is a desperation deep league option for the Week 11 matchup against the San Francisco 49ers.
