Jack Hughes Sustains Non-Hockey Hand Injury
New Jersey Devils forward Jack Hughes (hand) is expected to miss Saturday's matchup against the Washington Capitals. According to Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman, Hughes cut his hand during a "fluke accident" at a team dinner. The three-time All-Star leads New Jersey in scoring with 20 points (10 goals, 10 assists) in 17 games. Juho Lammikko will likely come into the lineup as Hughes' replacement on Saturday. At the same time, Devils head coach Sheldon Keefe will have to tweak the top six and first power-play unit due to Hughes' absence.

Quinn Hughes a Game-Time Decision Friday
Vancouver Canucks defenseman Quinn Hughes (undisclosed) is considered a game-time decision for Friday's contest against the Carolina Hurricanes. After missing practice on Thursday, Hughes returned to the ice on Friday morning, but it remains uncertain whether he is healthy enough to play against Carolina. Having collected 13 points (one goal, 12 assists) in 14 games, Hughes is currently ranked 11th among all defensemen in scoring. He finished Tuesday's loss against the Winnipeg Jets with three assists and has recorded at least one helper in each of his past four appearances. If Hughes can't play on Friday night, Pierre-Olivier Joseph and Victor Mancini are the options to replace him in the lineup.

Jaden Ivey Participates in Pistons Morning Shootaround on Friday
Natalie Kerwin of FanDuel Sports Network Detroit reports that Detroit Pistons guard Jaden Ivey (knee) started on-court work as part of his rehabilitation process after an arthroscopic knee procedure. Friday's shootaround was the first time Ivey has participated in on-court work in front of the media since the procedure on his right knee on October 16, per Kerwin. The 23-year-old averaged 17.6 points, 4.1 rebounds and 4.0 assists across 29.9 minutes per contest in 30 games last season.

Justice Hill Ruled Out For Week 11
Baltimore Ravens running back Justice Hill (toe) has been officially ruled out for Sunday's matchup against the Cleveland Browns. Hill was able to get in a limited practice on Friday after missing the first two sessions of the week, but will ultimately end up missing his first game of the season in Week 11. The 27-year-old has filled the passing-down role in Baltimore's backfield behind Derrick Henry, handling 18 carries for 93 yards and two touchdowns along with 21 catches for 169 yards and another touchdown on 27 targets. His absence will lead to more reps for Keaton Mitchell, who has been dynamic on his touches this season. Head coach John Harbaugh has told reporters that he hopes to incorporate Mitchell more on game day, and we will get a good chance to see that in Week 11 against the Browns.

Justin Herbert Faces Vulnerable Jaguars Secondary, Remains a Mid-Range QB1
Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert threw for 220 yards and one touchdown, while rushing five times for 19 yards in Sunday night's win over the Pittsburgh Steelers. Despite taking five sacks and taping both ankles during the game, he did not appear on this week's injury report. Next, the Chargers travel to face a Jacksonville Jaguars defense that has cooled down significantly, allowing the ninth-most passing yards and the fourth-most receiving touchdowns this season. While the Jaguars still have 12 interceptions on the season, any turnovers are more likely to be forced by Herbert's shaky protection due to the depleted and inconsistent offensive line play from Austin Deculus (34.9 PFF grade) and Mekhi Becton (40.6 PFF grade), rather than coverage. Herbert's ability to capitalize on a vulnerable defense and use his legs when feeling pressure makes him a confident mid-range QB1 this week, ranking as RotoBaller's QB5.

Christian Watson Cleared From Injury Report, Good to Go for Week 11
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Christian Watson (knee, hamstring) is off the injury report and is all set to play Sunday against the New York Giants. Watson was listed as limited in practice on Thursday and Friday, saying that he is still in the ramp-up stage in his return from the torn ACL suffered last season. There didn't seem to be any doubt in regards to his status for Week 11, however, and he should be a big part of Green Bay's passing attack against an exploitable Giants defense. The 26-year-old has had a healthy role in the three games since returning, posting the second-highest route share on the team at 70.1%, behind only Romeo Doubs. Watson is an explosive playmaker who Jordan Love likes to target downfield, but the production can be volatile.

Dylan Sampson a Low-End Flex Option in Week 11
Cleveland Browns running back Dylan Sampson has shown some ability in the passing attack when given the chance this season, hauling in at least five passes twice this season. He will look to stay active through the air in a Week 11 home matchup against the Baltimore Ravens. The Ravens have struggled against running backs this season, allowing the seventh-most fantasy points per game to the position. That being said, Sampson doesn't have a guaranteed workload behind fellow rookie Quinshon Judkins, who carried the ball 22 times in a loss to the New York Jets in Week 10. Fantasy managers counting on Sampson will have to hope he does his damage through the air against the Ravens, which is entirely possible if the Browns get down early and have to abandon the run. Sampson sets up as a low-end flex option in PPR leagues for this weekend.

Jerome Ford Not on the Fantasy Radar in Week 11
Cleveland Browns running back Jerome Ford has struggled to carve out a role on his team's offense of late as he's handled just two carries and caught three passes over his past three games. Ford will look for a larger workload at home against the Baltimore Ravens in Week 11. The Ravens have struggled against opposing running backs this season, allowing the seventh-most fantasy points per game to the position through nine games. That being said, Ford is unlikely to see enough work to take advantage of the favorable matchup as rookie Quinshon Judkins has dominated the backfield work for the team this season. Ford is not a fantasy option heading into Week 11.

Rashod Bateman Ruled Out for Week 11
Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Rashod Bateman (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's matchup against the Cleveland Browns. Bateman failed to practice every day this week and will now miss his first game of the season. The 25-year-old has totaled 16 catches for 194 yards and two touchdowns on 31 targets this season as the WR2 behind Zay Flowers. His absence will likely lead to more opportunities for Flowers and tight end Mark Andrews, as well as more snaps for veteran DeAndre Hopkins and Tylan Wallace. It's a tough matchup for Baltimore's pass catchers at Cleveland, potentially in nasty weather, leaving Flowers and Andrews as the only viable fantasy options.

Matthew Golden Listed as Questionable for Week 11
Green Bay Packers rookie wide receiver Matthew Golden (shoulder) is officially listed as questionable for Week 11 versus the New York Giants. Golden was limited every day in practice this week and should have a good chance of suiting up on Sunday. The rookie wideout suffered the injury in Green Bay's Week 9 loss to the Panthers, and while he didn't practice on Friday and Saturday last week ahead of Monday night against the Eagles, head coach Matt LaFleur said that he was close to playing. The 2025 first-round pick hasn't broken out yet in a crowded Green Bay wide receiver room, recording 23 receptions for 262 yards on 29 targets, and is still looking for his first career touchdown through eight games. Golden could be in line for more opportunities over the second half of the season as the Packers have struggled on offense in recent games.

Quinshon Judkins an RB2 vs. Baltimore in Week 11
Cleveland Browns running back Quinshon Judkins has struggled a bit with his efficiency of late as he's gained just 94 yards on 31 carries over his past two games, good for just 3.0 yards per carry over that span. He has also been held out of the end zone over that span after scoring three times against the Miami Dolphins back in Week 7. Judkins will look to get back on track in a Week 11 home matchup against the Baltimore Ravens. Baltimore has been a plus matchup for running backs this season, allowing the seventh-most fantasy points per game to the position through nine games. Judkins has been dominating the backfield work for the Browns this season and fantasy managers can expect more of the same in Week 11, making Judkins a high-end RB2 heading into Sunday's matchup.

Dillon Gabriel a QB3 in Week 11 vs. Ravens
Cleveland Browns quarterback Dillon Gabriel completed 17 of his 32 passes for 167 yards and two touchdowns in a Week 10 loss to the New York Jets. The rookie quarterback has completed 58.6% of his passes for 869 yards, seven touchdowns, and two interceptions in seven games for the Browns this season. He will look for his second 200-yard passing game of the season in a Week 11 home matchup against the Baltimore Ravens. The Ravens have been generous to opposing passing offenses this season, allowing the ninth-most fantasy points per game to quarterbacks thus far. That being said, Gabriel hasn't shown enough of a ceiling in fantasy to trust as a starting option, even in a plus matchup like he has on Sunday. He settles in as a middling QB3 in fantasy for Week 11 and is not a realistic starting option outside of deep, superflex formats.

Romeo Doubs Cleared From Injury Report Ahead of Week 11
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Romeo Doubs (chest) is off the injury report and good to go for Week 11 against the New York Giants. Doubs left early in Green Bay's Week 10 loss to the Eagles, but practiced in full every day in practice this week and heads into Sunday without an injury designation. The 25-year-old will be looking to bounce back in a favorable matchup on Sunday after only catching one of his four targets for five yards before leaving in Week 10. Doubs has been the Packers' most productive wide receiver this season, recording 35 receptions for 446 yards and four touchdowns on 56 targets, averaging 11.7 PPR points per game. Doubs profiles as a solid WR2 for Week 11 against the Giants.

Sam LaPorta Ruled Out for Week 11 With Back Injury
Detroit Lions tight end Sam LaPorta (back) has officially been ruled out for his team's Week 11 matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles due to a back injury. The exact nature of LaPorta's back injury is unclear, but it prevented him from logging a single practice this week. It's a frustrating development for fantasy managers, as LaPorta has been playing some of his best football of late. Over his last five games, LaPorta has recorded 24 catches for 312 yards and three touchdowns on 28 targets. Without him, veteran tight end Brock Wright (ankle) will likely see the majority of the tight end snaps for Detroit. Wright is listed as questionable for Week 11 due to an ankle injury, but is expected to play. Still, Wright does not profile as a fantasy-relevant tight end even without LaPorta in the lineup. Lions wideouts Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jameson Williams, as well as running back Jahmyr Gibbs, are the most likely players to benefit from LaPorta's absence from a target volume perspective.

Coby White Nearing A Return?
Chicago Bulls guard Coby White (calf) fully practiced on Friday, according to head coach Billy Donovan. White has yet to play this season as he manages the calf issue. Donovan now wants to see how he responds to a contact practice before making a ruling on his availability. Chicago next plays Sunday night in Utah, so the Bulls and White have some extra time to determine whether he can make his season debut. Once he's back up to speed, White should start next to Josh Giddey (ankle) in Chicago's backcourt. White averaged 20.4 points, 4.5 assists, 3.7 rebounds, and 0.9 steals in 74 games last season.

Isiah Pacheco Officially Ruled Out for Week 11
Kansas City Chiefs running back Isiah Pacheco (knee) has officially been ruled out for his team's Week 11 matchup against the Denver Broncos, per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. This will mark Pacheco's second straight missed game after he suffered an MCL sprain in Week 8. Without him, Kansas City will likely turn to veteran running back Kareem Hunt to handle the majority of their backfield work. Hunt recorded 11 carries for 49 yards and a touchdown in Week 9 against the Buffalo Bills with Pacheco sidelined. Rookie running back Brashard Smith could mix in as well, but Smith earned just four touches against Buffalo. Hunt profiles as a borderline RB2/high-end flex option for fantasy managers in Week 11. Pacheco should have a chance to return to the field in Week 12 when the Chiefs host the Indianapolis Colts.

Jonathan Greenard, Ryan Kelly Ruled Out for Week 11
The Minnesota Vikings will be without a pair of key veterans for their crucial Week 11 matchup against the Chicago Bears. Per NFL Network's Tom Pelissero, edge rusher Jonathan Greenard (shoulder) and center Ryan Kelly (concussion) have both been ruled out. Across nine games this season, Greenard has recorded two sacks and nine QB hits. His absence should make life easier on Bears quarterback Caleb Williams. Kelly has been on Injured Reserve since Week 3 due to a concussion, but has had his activation window opened and is reportedly nearing a return. He's generally considered one of the better centers in the NFL, so his absence hurts Vikings running backs Aaron Jones Sr. (shoulder, toe) and Jordan Mason, as well as quarterback J.J. McCarthy. 2024 seventh-round draft pick Michael Jurgens appears set to make another start at center in Week 11 with Kelly out.

Josh Giddey Fully Practices On Friday
Chicago Bulls guard Josh Giddey (ankle) fully practiced Friday, according to the team's head coach, Billy Donovan. Fellow guard Coby White (calf) also fully practiced. Giddey has missed the last two games, both losses, due to the ankle ailment. Donovan now wants to see how Giddey responds to a contact practice before making a ruling on his availability. The Bulls don't play again until Sunday night, but it's trending toward Giddey returning to the lineup. The 23-year-old is playing at an All-Star level this season, averaging 21.4 points, 9.6 rebounds, 9.3 assists, and one steal per game. Kevin Huerter has been starting in Giddey's place, and should pick up another start if Giddey isn't ready to return.

J.J. McCarthy Off the Injury Report, Good to Go for Week 11
Minnesota Vikings quarterback J.J. McCarthy (right hand) is off the injury report and "good to go" for his team's Week 11 matchup against the Chicago Bears, per Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. McCarthy has been battling swelling in his throwing hand after hitting it on a helmet during Minnesota's Week 10 loss to the Baltimore Ravens, but it appears it won't prevent him from suiting up against Chicago. Across four starts this season, the 22-year-old has completed 53.7% of his pass attempts for 692 yards, five touchdowns, and six interceptions. He's been more productive with his legs, rushing for 110 yards and two touchdowns on 21 attempts. McCarthy profiles as a solid fantasy starter in two-quarterback formats, but should likely be avoided in single-QB leagues against Chicago in Week 11.

Day'Ron Sharpe Available to Play on Friday
Brooklyn Nets center Day'Ron Sharpe (glute) will play on Friday night when the team visits the Orlando Magic for an NBA Cup contest. Sharpe missed one game while managing a left glute contusion. The 24-year-old has appeared in 10 games for the 1-10 Nets, averaging 6.7 points, 5.3 rebounds, 1.7 assists, and 0.9 steals per game. He only sees about 15 minutes per game, playing behind starting center Nic Claxton. With minimal usage, Sharpe doesn't offer much fantasy value. Fantasy managers can likely find a better option to get into their lineup for Friday's nine-game slate.

DJ Moore Without Injury Designation, Will Play in Week 11
Chicago Bears wide receiver DJ Moore (shoulder) will not carry an injury designation and will play in his team's Week 11 matchup against the Minnesota Vikings, according to Sean Hammond of the Chicago Tribune. Moore has been limited in practice this week due to the injury, but it appears it will not keep him from suiting up in a crucial divisional contest. Moore has not missed a game since the 2020 season. The 30-year-old has hauled in 30 catches for 403 yards and a touchdown on 48 targets across nine games this season. However, he's coming off a four-target, zero-catch game in Week 10 against the New York Giants. It's possible that the shoulder injury could keep Moore from playing his usual allotment of snaps and could open up some additional opportunities for Bears rookie wideout Luther Burden III. Moore profiles as a low-end WR3/high-end WR4 for fantasy managers in Week 11 against Minnesota.

Trey Hendrickson, Shemar Stewart Both Out for Week 11
The Cincinnati Bengals will be without defensive ends Trey Hendrickson (hip, pelvis) and Shemar Stewart (knee) in Week 11 against the Pittsburgh Steelers, per ESPN's Ben Baby. Hendrickson last played in Week 7, so this will mark his fourth straight game on the shelf. The 30-year-old recorded four sacks and eight QB hits before getting injured and might be the only true impact player on the struggling Cincinnati defense. Stewart has had an injury-marred rookie campaign, as he's appeared in just five games in 2025. The 22-year-old is still looking for his first NFL sack. Both Hendrickson and Stewart are considered week-to-week, so they could be back for Cincinnati's Week 12 matchup against the New England Patriots. Without them in the lineup, the Bengals will rely on Joseph Ossai and Myles Murphy to lead their pass rush against Pittsburgh.

Julian Champagnie Questionable For Rematch Against Warriors
San Antonio Spurs guard/forward Julian Champagnie (hip) is questionable for Friday's NBA Cup game against the Golden State Warriors. Champagnie, who is managing a hip contusion, recently moved to the bench with the return of guard De'Aaron Fox, but played 20 minutes against the Warriors on Wednesday. The 24-year-old is used as a floor spacer and three-point shooter in San Antonio's rotation, and isn't on the radar for fantasy basketball purposes. Forward Jeremy Sochan, who played just six minutes on Wednesday, and guard Lindy Waters III would see an increase in minutes if Champagnie can't suit up.

Jaxson Dart Officially Ruled Out for Week 11 Due to Concussion
New York Giants rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart (concussion) has officially been ruled out for his team's Week 11 matchup against the Green Bay Packers, per Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. Dart suffered a concussion that forced him to exit early from his team's Week 10 loss to the Chicago Bears and has spent this week in the league's concussion protocol. However, Giants interim head coach Mike Kafka recently said that Dart is progressing well, so he may be on track to return in Week 12 against the Detroit Lions. With Dart sidelined against Green Bay, quarterback Jameis Winston will make his first start of the season for New York. In 12 games (seven starts) for the Cleveland Browns in 2024, Winston threw for 2,121 yards, 13 touchdowns, and 12 interceptions. The veteran gunslinger profiles as a low-end fantasy QB2 in Week 11 against the Packers.

Jonathan Kuminga Sitting Out Friday's NBA Cup Game
Golden State Warriors forward Jonathan Kuminga (knee) will be inactive on Friday when the team faces the San Antonio Spurs. Kuminga entered Wednesday's game with a questionable tag for a knee injury and didn't make it through the entire game. The Warriors believe this will be a short-term injury and want to give Kuminga rest to help with his bilateral knee tendinitis. Kuminga was removed from the starting lineup for the first time on Wednesday. Moses Moody and rookie Will Richard should get starts again. Gary Payton II saw increased minutes in the second half on Wednesday after Kuminga left the game.

Tank Bigsby an Injury Replacement Only
Philadelphia running back Tank Bigsby took his first offensive snaps with the Eagles in Week 7 and followed that up by turning nine carries into 104 yards in a Week 8 win over the Giants that saw starter Saquon Barkley exit early with a groin injury. With the Eagles on a Week 9 bye, Barkley's health remained in question heading into Week 10, making Bigsby a popular waiver add over those two weeks. In Week 10's win over the Packers, Barkley outsnapped Bigsby 44 to eight and saw 25 total opportunities to Bigsby's 3, proving once again that when healthy, the Eagles' backfield belongs to Barkley. Bigsby is still worthy of a roster spot as the apparent next man up behind Barkley, but heading into a Week 11 matchup with the Lions, he has no standalone value.

Darius Slayton Ruled Out for Sunday
New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton (hamstring) is one of three Giants players to have already been ruled out for Sunday's Week 11 matchup with the Packers, along with quarterback Jaxson Dart (concussion). With Mike Kafka serving as interim head coach following the Monday firing of Brian Daboll, the team has already announced plans to start journeyman quarterback Jameis Winston, but who he will be throwing to is now another question entirely. Receiver Wan'Dale Robinson and tight end Theo Johnson suddenly become very interesting plays for fantasy managers willing to roll the dice and shoot for upside. Even against a Packers' pass defense that has been suffocating at times, Winston's propensity to hyper-target his top pass catchers and willingness to throw into windows that most quarterbacks would not, is a recipe for fantasy fireworks.

Dereck Lively II Expected To Return To Action Friday
Dallas Mavericks center Dereck Lively II (knee) is expected to play on Friday night versus the Los Angeles Clippers, according to ESPN's Shams Charania. Lively himself didn't confirm the report, however, telling reporters, with a grin, that "time will tell" if he's back in the lineup. The Mavericks' center has been in street clothes since October 26th. The former first-round draft pick was a starter in all three games he's played this season. Typically, he splits his minutes with Daniel Gafford. He holds fantasy value due to a high field goal percentage, rebounding rate, and shot-blocking skills. Lively's fellow frontcourt members, Anthony Davis (calf) and P.J. Washington (shoulder), are also questionable for tonight's NBA Cup game.

Davante Adams Questionable for Sunday but Expected to Play
Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Davante Adams (oblique) will be questionable for Week 11's divisional clash with the Seahawks. Head coach Sean McVay told reporters on Friday that his veteran star has progressed well throughout the week, and the team expects to have him available on Sunday. Both the Rams and Seahawks come into Sunday's game with matching 7-2 records, tied not only at the top of the NFC West but also in a three-way tie with the Eagles for the best record in the conference. Adams has been a major piece of a Rams' offense that sees quarterback Matthew Stafford firmly entrenched in MVP conversations. He has become the team's primary weapon near the goal line, bringing in six touchdown grabs over his last three games. Should he miss Sunday's game, running back Kyren Williams becomes even more likely to keep his own touchdown streak alive, having also found paydirt three times in his last two outings.

Drake London Questionable vs Panthers
Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London (illness, back) is questionable for Sunday's divisional matchup with the Panthers after missing Wednesday's practice with an illness and then returning as a limited participant on Thursday with an additional back ailment. London has been on a tear of late, topping 100 yards in each of his last two games while finding the endzone four times over that span. Should he miss Sunday's game, receiver Darnell Mooney and tight end Kyle Pitts are the most likely candidates to see an uptick in targets. However, neither has demonstrated a strong connection with second-year quarterback Michael Penix Jr. to this point. The Falcons play in Sunday's early window of games, giving fantasy managers a chance to at least monitor London's gameday status and pivot if necessary.
