Boston Red Sox left-hander
Aroldis Chapman was named the American League Reliever of the Year in 2025 for the second time in his career, with the first coming with the New York Yankees in 2019. Chapman defied Father Time this year to win the award at age 37 while also making his eighth career All-Star team. He led all qualified relievers with a 1.17 ERA and 0.70 WHIP in 61 1/3 innings for the BoSox. Opponents hit just .132 versus the veteran southpaw, the lowest average against any qualified reliever. Chapman retired 50 straight hitters at one point during the season, during a stretch that spanned over two months. Unbelievable, Chapman still averaged 99.8 mph with his fastball (ranked in the 98th percentile in baseball) in his 16th season in the big leagues. He proved with Boston this past season that he still has gas left in the tank in what has been a remarkable career.

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver
Tyler Lockett (knee) was a full participant during Friday's practice session. It seems like Lockett will be good to go after he began the week with a limited session due to a knee issue. Lockett is coming off his best performance of the season where he hauled in five of his six targets for 44 yards in the loss to the Denver Broncos. That was only his second week on the team, so the assumption is his role will grow with the team. Barring any setbacks, Lockett should be viewed as a low-end flex option for the Monday night matchup against the Dallas Cowboys.

New York Mets right-handed closer
Edwin Diaz was named the National League Reliever of the Year on Thursday night for the third time in his career, according to MLB. Diaz joins Houston Astros lefty
Josh Hader as the only players to win three Reliever of the Year awards since the honor was established in 2014. The hard-throwing Puerto Rican closer had a stingy 1.63 ERA in 66 1/3 innings in 2025, the second-lowest mark of his career and the best among qualified relievers in the NL. Diaz also held opponents to a .164 batting average to earn his third All-Star nod. His nasty fastball/slider mix helped him to 98 strikeouts and a 13.3 K/9 ratio while he also ranked in the 99th percentile among MLB pitchers with a 41.5% swing-and-miss rate. Diaz is now on the free-agent market this winter after opting out of the final two years and $38 million on his contract with the Mets, and he's sure to generate lots of interest around the league.

Washington Commanders wide receiver
Robbie Chosen will be one of the team's primary pass catchers for their Week 11 matchup against the Miami Dolphins in Madrid, Spain. Chosen has been brought up from the practice squad to the active roster ahead of gameday multiple times, but was signed to the active roster earlier this week. The 32-year-old has caught five of eight targets for 53 yards in two games played for Washington this season. Chosen still poses as a big-play threat at this point in his career, but he's best left on the waiver wire for Week 11.

Detroit Lions tight end
Brock Wright (ankle) is listed as questionable ahead of the Week 11 matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles. Wright missed practice on Wednesday, but was able to get in limited sessions on Thursday and Friday. His status is more important now with
Sam LaPorta (back) being ruled out for this contest. If Wright sits out,
Ross Dwelley is the third string tight end. Fantasy managers will need to check back for another update on Wright. The 26-year-old could be a possible streaming option with an expanded role.
--Andy WebbSource: Detroit Lions
November 14, 2025
Washington Commanders rookie wide receiver
Jaylin Lane has been forced into more playing time recently as the team has lost multiple wide receivers to injury. Lane made the most of his lone target last week against the Lions, connecting with
Marcus Mariota on a deep ball for a 41-yard gain. The rookie fourth-rounder has otherwise struggled with drops and consistently creating separation in his opportunities. Lane has recorded 15 catches for 212 yards on 29 targets in 10 games this season, in addition to showing dynamic ability as a punt returner, with a 90-yard touchdown back in Week 3 against the Raiders. Lane only ran 23.1% of the team's routes in Week 10 versus the Lions, but that could tick back up with
Treylon Burks (finger) ruled out for Week 11. Lane has value as a dart throw in deep leagues for Week 11's matchup against the Miami Dolphins in Madrid, Spain, which could end up a high-scoring game with how poorly Washington's defense has played.

Houston Texans tight end
Dalton Schultz (illness, shoulder) was able to practice in full on Friday and has been cleared to play in Sunday's divisional tilt against the Tennessee Titans in Week 11. Schultz's status for this weekend wasn't looking good when he missed practice on both Wednesday and Thursday due to an illness and a shoulder injury, but he'll be ready to roll after a full practice on Friday. The 29-year-old is coming off a seven-catch, 53-yard performance on a season-high 11 targets in last week's win over the Jacksonville Jaguars, in which he also caught his first touchdown of the year. Backup quarterback
Davis Mills looked Schultz's way often in a miraculous comeback, but fantasy managers can't count on that kind of volume from Mills for a second straight week. Still, in a good matchup against the one-win Titans, Schultz should at least be on the TE1/2 borderline as a fantasy streamer this weekend.

November 14, 2025
Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver
Parker Washington (hamstring) has been cleared to play in Week 11 against the visiting Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday despite not putting in a full practice all week. Washington was listed as a non-participant on Wednesday due to a hamstring injury before being limited on Thursday and Friday. With
Brian Thomas Jr. (ankle) missing the Week 10 loss to the Houston Texans, Washington caught three of his seven targets for 33 yards and his second touchdown of the season while also returning a kick for a score on special teams. The 23-year-old's role will be elevated for the rest of 2025 with rookie
Travis Hunter (knee) done for the season, and Washington has developed some nice chemistry with quarterback
Trevor Lawrence. However, with Thomas potentially returning this weekend and the newly acquired
Jakobi Meyers also being more involved in his second game, Washington becomes a little less attractive as a PPR WR4/flex.

November 14, 2025
Washington Commanders wide receiver
Deebo Samuel Sr. hasn't been as productive in recent weeks after a strong first five games of the season. Samuel recorded 30 receptions for 300 yards and three touchdowns along with seven carries for 46 yards and another touchdown over the first five weeks, ranking as the WR7 in total PPR points (88.6). Since then, Samuel has just 16 catches for 96 yards and one touchdown on 22 targets and three carries for three yards in four games, ranking as the WR56 in that span. The veteran wideout should still be in line for a busy day on Sunday against a vulnerable Miami Dolphins defense, with most of Washington's wide receivers banged up. Samuel ranks as RotoBaller's WR20 for the first-ever NFL game in Madrid, Spain.

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback
Joe Flacco (shoulder) was on the injury report again this week due to a balky right shoulder, and he even missed Wednesday's practice, but he has since been removed from the report and will play in Week 11 in a rematch against the division-rival Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday. The 40-year-old gunslinger is rested up coming out of the bye week, and fantasy managers who have been streaming him will be hoping that he can repeat his performance against Pittsburgh on Oct. 16. Flacco went 31-for-47 passing in that contest for 342 yards, three touchdowns, and no interceptions in a 33-31 comeback win. In four games since joining the Bengals, Flacco has been tremendous, throwing for 1,254 yards, 11 TDs, and two picks on 173 pass attempts. He threw for a season-high 470 yards and four TDs back in Week 9 and is poised to be a low-end QB1 in fantasy again this weekend as he continues to pepper receivers
Ja'Marr Chase and
Tee Higgins with as many targets as possible.

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.

Dallas Mavericks forward/center
Anthony Davis (calf) won't play on Friday versus the Clippers. He is apparently nearing a return. However, that won't come on Friday night, with AD now missing his eighth-straight contest. With
P.J. Washington (shoulder) also sidelined, there should be extra minutes floating around for
Max Christie and
Naji Marshall, who can both be considered viable streaming options for most fantasy setups. Davis' next chance to get back on the floor will be on Sunday against the Portland Trail Blazers.

November 14, 2025
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.
--Kyle McCarthySource: RotoBaller
November 14, 2025
Dallas Mavericks forward
P.J. Washington (shoulder) won't suit up for Friday's game versus the Los Angeles Clippers. The 27-year-old has averaged 14.7 points, 7.6 rebounds, and 1.3 blocks this season. He also appeared in all 12 of the Mavericks' contests throughout the 2025 campaign. Unfortunately, a shoulder injury suffered in Wednesday's loss to the Phoenix Suns will keep him out of the lineup. Fantasy managers will need to wait and see if he will return on Sunday against Portland. For now,
Naji Marshall and
Max Christie are the favorites to benefit on the offensive end.

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.
--Kyle McCarthySource: RotoBaller
November 14, 2025
Dallas Mavericks center
Dereck Lively II (knee) will play on Friday night against the Los Angeles Clippers. The 21-year-old appeared in only three games this season before a knee injury kept him off the floor for the Mavs' last nine games. He was averaging only 5.3 points, 5.0 rebounds, and 1.3 blocks before going down. With that said, since he will be limited to 15-18 minutes, he may not be the safest option in any fantasy format. However, Lively's presence will still lower the ceiling of
Daniel Gafford.

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.

November 14, 2025
Milwaukee Bucks forward
Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) will play on Friday against the Hornets. He isn't a stranger to the injury report. However, his latest issue, knee tendinopathy, was enough to keep him off the floor when these two clubs played on Wednesday night.
Kyle Kuzma got the start in that one, although he couldn't do much with the expanded role, finishing with only eight points. While Kuzma's fantasy value was already low, it's even lower with Antetokounmpo back in the mix.

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.
--Keith HernandezSource: ESPN - Adam Schefter
November 14, 2025
Charlotte Hornets guard
LaMelo Ball (ankle) will play on Friday versus the Milwaukee Bucks. The 24-year-old has missed plenty of time throughout his career due to ankle injuries, with this latest bout keeping him off the floor for the Hornets' last five contests. Ball remains a must-start in all fantasy formats, even with the risk of fewer minutes in his first game back. His presence will presumably mean less work for
Tre Mann and
Sion James.
--Dennis ClausenSource: NBA Injury Report
November 14, 2025
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.

November 14, 2025
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.
--Keith HernandezSource: Denver Broncos
November 14, 2025
Sacramento Kings center
Domantas Sabonis (ribs) will play on Friday versus Minnesota. His presence on the injury report is nothing new. Fortunately, it won't keep him off the floor for the NBA Cup meeting with the Timberwolves. The 29-year-old hasn't had the best 2025 campaign, averaging 15.3 points, 12.3 rebounds, and 1.1 steals. However, Sabonis is still a double-double threat whenever he's on the floor, and he could turn things around once he starts feeling better. With Sabonis available, it will likely mean even less work for
Drew Eubanks.
--Dennis ClausenSource: NBA Injury Report
November 14, 2025
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.
--Keith HernandezSource: Cincinnati Bengals
November 14, 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.
--Keith HernandezSource: Arizona Cardinals
November 14, 2025
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.

November 14, 2025
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.
