Boston Celtics guard/forward
Sam Hauser (wrist) will play through a sprained wrist after being upgraded from probable to available for Tuesday night's road game against Philadelphia. Hauser has averaged 7.5 points, 3.1 rebounds, and 1.5 assists in his 23 minutes per game this season. He has chipped in 2.4 three-pointers per game, and still carries some value as a sharp-shooter, but he hasn't been able to step into a larger role this season for Boston, even with
Jayson Tatum (Achilles) on the sidelines. The Celtics are on the front end of a back-to-back, so he could get Wednesday off, but at least for now, it looks like the injury is something he'll shake off and be good to play through for now.

Jacksonville Jaguars rookie star cornerback/wide receiver
Travis Hunter (knee) underwent season-ending knee surgery and is now eyeing a return for the 2026 season, sources tell Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. Hunter underwent an LCL repair and is expected to return to full football activities within six months. The Jaguars initially believed Hunter's injury was a short-term one, but it will now end his first year in the NFL prematurely. The 22-year-old Heisman Trophy winner suffered the knee injury in practice last week, coming out of the team's bye. It's terrible timing, as the second overall pick was starting to take on a bigger role on offense, as evidenced by his eight-catch, 101-yard, one-touchdown performance in Week 8. Hunter can be dropped in all single-year fantasy leagues. His season-ending injury makes
Parker Washington, who had a receiving and special-teams touchdown last weekend, even more of a waiver-wire priority this week.

Memphis Grizzlies forward/center
Brandon Clarke had an arthroscopic procedure on his right knee this past offseason, and he is starting to ramp up his basketball activities, according to the team's medical update. Clarke still has a long way to go, though, and is expected to return to play in six to nine weeks, putting his return around Christmas at the earlier end and mid-January at the outside edge. The Grizzlies are also without
Zach Edey (ankle) right now, leaving
Jaren Jackson Jr.,
Santi Aldama, and
Jock Landale to fill time at center. Edey should be back well before Clarke, and Clarke will likely back up Edey when he's ready to get back into the mix further down the road.

Las Vegas Raiders offensive lineman Jackson Powers-Johnson (ankle) will land on Injured Reserve and could potentially miss the rest of the 2025 season, sources told Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. Powers-Johnson suffered the serious injury in last Thursday's loss to the Denver Broncos and will be "out awhile," according to head coach Pete Carroll. Alex Cappa replaced Powers-Johnson at right guard in the Week 10 loss to Denver and will likely continue to hold down the position for the rest of the season. It's bad news for a Raiders offense that has already been struggling mightily in Carroll's first year as the head coach. They come into Week 11 against the Dallas Cowboys averaging just 87.4 rushing yards per game (fourth-fewest) and 15.4 points per game (second-fewest) in the NFL.

Toronto Raptors guard/forward
Ochai Agbaji (back) will miss his second game of the season on Tuesday night, when his team visits the Nets. Agbaji missed last Friday's game against the Hawks but started and played 15 minutes on Saturday against the 76ers. He only had two rebounds in that game, and his role overall this season has been relatively small coming off the bench. His spot start on Saturday was due to
Jakob Poeltl getting the night off. Agbaji's absence from the second unit does open up more potential time for reserves
Gradey Dick and Ja'Kobe Walter.

Since returning from a high-ankle sprain that caused him to miss three games, Dallas Cowboys wide receiver
CeeDee Lamb has finished as the WR8, WR20, and WR24 in half-PPR scoring. Coming off a bye week, the Cowboys face the Las Vegas Raiders on Monday night, and Lamb has the potential to be the overall WR1 for the week. As wintery weather begins to affect games across the country, Lamb will be playing indoors in Vegas against a Raiders defense that has allowed 30.7 fantasy points per game to wide receivers. While he hasn't scored a touchdown in either of his last two games, he's seen a team-high three redzone targets in that time, and his overall target share hasn't dipped below 27% since his return. The Cowboys are projected for 27 points, and one of the most likely ways they hit that mark is on the back of a vintage CeeDee Lamb performance.

Atlanta Falcons quarterback
Michael Penix Jr.'s accuracy went kaput in Germany, completing just 12 of his 28 pass attempts for 177 yards in Sunday's 31-25 overtime loss to the Colts, which included one touchdown pass and no interceptions. However, he also lost a fumble and was sacked three times. The 25-year-old came into the contest with a 60.8 percent completion percentage. But after this performance, it now stands at 58.8 percent. That is the third-lowest in the league, only slightly better than Tennessee's
Cam Ward, whose league-low rate stands at 57.6 percent. Although the second-year QB owns a sterling 8:1 TD:INT over his last five games, the left-hander is hard to trust for fantasy with such low completion rates and near-zero value added with his legs. Atlanta has lost four straight, but has winnable matchups coming up (vs. CAR, @ NOR, @NYJ).
Kirk Cousins didn't make the case for a quarterback change in his lone start in Week 8 against the Dolphins, but if the Falcons continue this losing streak against those teams, Penix may find himself on the hot seat.

Brooklyn Nets center
Day'Ron Sharpe (glute) has been ruled out for Tuesday night's game against the Raptors. Sharpe has averaged just 15.9 minutes off the bench for the Nets this season, chipping in 6.7 points, 5.3 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 0.9 steals, and 0.6 blocks in his 10 games this season. This will be the first game he has missed this season for Brooklyn, and his bench minutes could go to
Noah Clowney and
Danny Wolf, who will fill in at backup center behind starter Nic Claxton on Tuesday.

The Detroit Tigers will at least listen to trade offers for left-hander
Tarik Skubal, but they "would have to be completely overwhelmed" to move him, according to Bob Nightengale of USA Today Sports. MLB teams won't be willing to give up more than two top-10 prospects in exchange for Skubal, knowing that he won't sign an extension and plans to hit free agency following the 2026 season. Nightengale adds that the Tigers are "expected to hang onto him until at least the July 2026 trade deadline." The 28-year-old southpaw is likely to win a second straight American League Cy Young award after leading the league with a 6.5 WAR, 2.21 ERA, 2.45 FIP, and 0.89 WHIP in 195 1/3 innings in 2025. Skubal also struck out a career-high 241 hitters while walking just 33 in 31 regular-season starts. Regardless of where he's pitching in 2026, Skubal will be an elite fantasy ace.

Philadelphia 76ers center
Joel Embiid (knee) was not on the injury report and looked to be on track to play on Tuesday, but he was then ruled out on Tuesday afternoon. Somewhat alarmingly, it wasn't Embiid's left knee that was the issue for Tuesday, but his right knee. The big man was expected to return after sitting out Sunday's game, which was the second game of a back-to-back. He was coming off a season-high 29 points on Saturday and was starting to look healthy. Now that his other knee is also an issue, his overall health becomes even more of a concern long-term. He is being evaluated by team doctors, and the team will issue an update once they have a clearer picture of his availability going forward. His next chance to return would be Friday in Detroit, but until he's ready,
Andre Drummond and
Adem Bona will continue to carry more work for the surging Sixers.

The New York Giants on Monday became the second NFL team to fire their head coach this season when they parted ways with Brian Daboll. With rumors already circulating about the upcoming coaching cycle, one name to watch as a potential replacement is current Cleveland Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski. The Browns are 2-7 and have fallen to 5-21 over the past two seasons, but if they decide to move on from Stefanski, the two-time NFL coach of the year would immediately become one of the most sought-after candidates on the market. Stefanski has been the victim of questionable personnel decisions, but has consistently fielded a competitive team, and the stability that rookie
Jaxson Dart has seemingly brought to the Giants' quarterback room would be a welcome change after the past few seasons in Cleveland.

The Kansas City Royals acquired right-hander
Mason Black from the San Francisco Giants on Tuesday in exchange for right-hander Logan Martin, according to Bob Nightengale of USA Today Sports. Black will head to KC after the Giants designated him for assignment last week. The 25-year-old former third-round pick by SF in 2021 out of Lehigh University only threw four innings out of the bullpen for the Giants in 2025, allowing five runs (three earned) on five hits (two homers) while walking none and striking out five. He wasn't much better in the minors, collecting a 5.81 ERA and 1.48 WHIP in 119 1/3 innings. Martin, 24, was a former 12th-rounder by KC in 2023 out of Kentucky. He has yet to make his major-league debut after three seasons in the minors, going 12-7 wth a 3.49 ERA, 1.12 WHIP, and 187:71 K:BB in 51 appearances (41 starts).

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback
Joe Burrow (toe) had his 21-day practice window opened on Monday and has begun working in a limited capacity. Recent reports have suggested that Burrow is targeting the team's Week 13 Thanksgiving matchup with the Ravens as a potential return date; however, NFL Insider Adam Schefter believes a Week 14 return against Buffalo is more realistic. After starting the season with two wins, the Bengals have lost five of the six games he's missed and fallen to 3-6. Fortunately for them, neither the Steelers nor the Ravens have been able to pull away in the division, and the Bengals' next five games all come against teams currently in the AFC playoff picture, making his return timeline all the more critical. While
Joe Flacco has been a blessing for the team's fantasy options, his sustainability does not feel guaranteed, and a Burrow-led Bengals offense has been the key to many a deep fantasy playoff run in the past.

The Chicago Cubs will be "shopping in the expensive aisle" for starting pitching this offseason, and USA Today Sports' Bob Nightengale reports that general managers around the league are predicting that Chicago could sign free-agent left-hander
Framber Valdez and/or free-agent right-hander
Dylan Cease. Free-agent outfielder
Kyle Tucker is expected to sign elsewhere, so the Cubs will have "plenty of money to burn." They will also be looking to make a splash after finishing second in the National League Central again to the Milwaukee Brewers. Chicago's starting rotation last year left a lot to be desired, so they will certainly look to bolster the top half of the rotation around impressive young right-hander
Cade Horton. Valdez, 31, went 13-11 with a 3.66 ERA, 1.24 WHIP, and 187:68 K:BB in 192 innings over 31 starts in his final year in Houston. The aging southpaw relies on pinpoint control and inducing ground balls over velocity and K's, and would be a logical replacement for
Shota Imanaga.

Bob Nightengale of USA Today Sports writes that the Baltimore Orioles "have to bring in a front-line starter" this offseason and cannot afford to miss the playoffs again, or general manager Mike Elias' job will be on the line. The Orioles have learned that they cannot sit idle and expect to compete in the tough American League East, even if they have a solid core of young rising players. Starting pitching will be a point of emphasis this offseason, with free-agent right-hander
Dylan Cease potentially being a target for Baltimore. They might not choose to dip into their prospect pool to trade for a starter like they did to acquire
Corbin Burnes, but there will be other free-agent options available, with left-hander
Framber Valdez being another potential option. After back-to-back playoff appearances, the O's disappointed with a 75-87 record to finish last in the AL East in 2025.

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver
George Pickens comes into Week 11 as the WR5 in half-PPR scoring, largely on the strength of what he was able to accomplish while teammate
CeeDee Lamb was sidelined with an ankle injury. In the three games that Lamb missed, Pickens averaged 120 yards per game while scoring four touchdowns and finishing as the weekly WR2, WR19, and WR1. In the three games since Lamb's return, Pickens has failed to find the endzone, and he finished as a top-24 wide receiver only once (WR20 in Week 8). However, he has still seen nine targets in two out of three games while averaging nearly 80 receiving yards per game. In Week 11, as many teams start to face inclement weather, the Cowboys will be playing in a dome against a Las Vegas Raiders team that has been one of the most generous to fantasy receivers. Dallas is coming out of their bye week and has one of the highest implied point totals of the week, giving both Lamb and Pickens a legitimate shot to finish as top-12 receivers.

The Cleveland Guardians almost traded outfielder
Steven Kwan to the Los Angeles Dodgers over the summer, and the Dodgers will "come calling again," according to Bob Nightengale of USA Today Sports. After the Dodgers' failed experiment with the left-handed-hitting
Michael Conforto, they will have an opening in their outfield for 2026, and Kwan could fill that spot while giving the back-to-back World Series champions another on-base machine for either the top or bottom of their stacked batting order. The Guardians' price tag for Kwan will be high, but the Dodgers have plenty of prospect capital to get something done. The 28-year-old has been an All-Star each of the last two years in Cleveland and hit .272/.330/.374 with a career-low .705 OPS, 11 homers, 56 RBI, 81 runs, and 21 steals in 156 regular-season games. Kwan lacks power, but he's plenty useful for a high-floor average, runs, and speed, and his fantasy value would receive a boost if he were to move to L.A.

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver
Ja'Marr Chase remains the league-leader in targets following the team's Week 10 bye, building a sizable lead with
Joe Flacco at quarterback. Chase has been peppered with targets in Flacco's four starts, recording 44 receptions for 457 yards and two touchdowns on a whopping 62 targets. The 25-year-old has 107 targets on the year, with
Chris Olave the next closest at 95. The superstar wideout could also be getting his star QB back soon, with
Joe Burrow (toe) having his 21-day practice window opened on Monday. Burrow could be returning soon and pick up where Flacco has left off, as the offense has still thrived in his absence. Chase remains one of the top fantasy options regardless of position every week and will look for another dominant performance in Week 11 against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Tennessee Titans wide receiver
Elic Ayomanor has had a solid rookie season through nine games, leading the team in receiving with 26 receptions for 323 yards and two touchdowns on 53 targets. Ayomanor has recorded multiple receptions in every game, but has only eclipsed 50 receiving yards twice in a struggling Titans offense. The rookie out of Stanford posted back-to-back games with touchdowns in Weeks 2 and three, scoring a combined 29.4 PPR points. However, in six games since then, Ayomanor has totaled just 37.6 total fantasy points. The rookie wideout could be an intriguing add off the waiver wire for Week 11 as he may see an increase in targets and production after the team's Week 10 bye, while continuing to build a rapport with fellow rookie
Cameron Ward, but he's also been outproduced by
Chimere Dike in recent weeks.
--Kyle McCarthySource: RotoBaller
November 11, 2025
Chicago Bears rookie wide receiver
Luther Burden III has been a playmaker in his limited opportunity this season, catching 16 of his 18 targets for 222 yards and a touchdown to go with two rushes for six yards in eight games this season. Burden is seeing his reps increase as the season progresses and posted season highs in both snaps and routes in Chicago's Week 10 win over the New York Giants. The rookie second-rounder played 57.6% of the snaps, his first game with a snap share above 50%, and ran 46.3% of the team's routes. Head coach Ben Johnson said that Burden will see more targets moving forward as he continues to get more comfortable in the offense.
D.J. Moore also left the game against the Giants early with a shoulder injury, but was able to return to the game. If Moore were to miss any time, Burden would certainly be in line for more routes. The rookie out of Missouri had an exciting prospect profile with elite athletic traits and is worth adding off the waiver wire in 12-team leagues to see how his role expands.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver
Chris Godwin (leg) has played in only two games this season following a gruesome ankle dislocation suffered in Week 7 of last season and a fibula injury that has kept him out since Week 5. Head coach Todd Bowles is hopeful that the veteran wideout will be able to return soon, but he remains without a timetable for now. It's possible that he doesn't return until December. Tampa Bay already lost top wide receiver
Mike Evans (collarbone) for the season and has heavily relied on rookies
Emeka Egbuka and
Tez Johnson in their absence. Godwin is rostered in most leagues, but he could be worth adding in leagues where he is available, as he could make an impact down the stretch.
--Kyle McCarthySource: RotoBaller
November 11, 2025
New England Patriots wide receiver
Mack Hollins will be one of the more popular waiver-wire targets this week after leading the team in catches (six), targets (10), and receiving yards (106) in the 28-23 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 10. However, Hollins' fantasy value going forward will probably be tied to the health of
Kayshon Boutte (hamstring), who was inactive on Sunday due to injury. With Boutte sidelined, Hollins led all Pats receivers with a season-high 79% of the offensive snaps and was a favorite target of ascending second-year quarterback
Drake Maye. Hollins will probably be more boom/bust for fantasy purposes when Boutte returns to the fold, but the 32-year-old veteran could be a sneaky WR4/flex play in Week 11 this Thursday night in a plus matchup against the division-rival New York Jets if Boutte misses a second straight game. Hollins is only rostered in 1% of Yahoo leagues.

Jacksonville Jaguars rookie running back
Bhayshul Tuten had a season-high nine carries for 29 yards and scored his third touchdown of the year in the Week 9 overtime win over the Las Vegas Raiders. However, Tuten was unable to build on that performance in the Week 10 loss to the Houston Texans, carrying the ball just four times for five yards while catching one of his two targets for five additional yards. The 23-year-old played a season-high 27% of the offensive snaps, but fellow rookie
LeQuint Allen Jr. saw a season-high 32% of the snaps as well.
Travis Etienne Jr. remains the Jags' clear top back in Jacksonville, even though Tuten has teased fantasy managers in his rookie season with explosiveness and power out of the backfield. Tuten has fantasy value as a handcuff to Etienne, but he'll continue to be hard to trust as a touchdown-dependent RB4 heading into a Week 11 contest against the Los Angeles Chargers.
--Keith HernandezSource: ESPN.com
November 11, 2025
Kansas City Chiefs rookie running back
Brashard Smith played 20% of the offensive snaps and carried the ball only three times for seven yards while coming up empty on his only target in the 28-21 Week 9 loss to the Buffalo Bills before the team's bye with
Isiah Pacheco (knee) out. It was a frustrating performance for fantasy managers hoping that the 22-year-old rookie might finally see more volume in KC's backfield. In his first NFL season, Smith has seen just 28 carries for 82 yards (2.9 yards per tote), but he's also added 14 receptions on 19 targets for 122 yards through the air in nine games. Nothing is official, but it sounds as though the Chiefs may hold Pacheco out this Sunday against the division-rival Denver Broncos. Veteran
Kareem Hunt will remain the team's lead back, but Smith may have a bigger role as the change-of-pace back. He's only rostered in 8% of Yahoo leagues, and he'll be a hard sell as a flex RB this weekend against a strong Denver D, even if Pacheco is inactive.

Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin said on Tuesday that running back
Jaylen Warren "will get more touches" going forward if the team can do better on third downs, according to Brooke Pryor of ESPN. Tomlin also added that he's comfortable with both Warren and
Kenneth Gainwell on third downs, but Warren "has to get a break at some point." Warren played 46% of the offensive snaps, his second-lowest total of the season, in Sunday night's 25-10 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers, while Gainwell played 52% of the snaps. The 27-year-old Warren finished with 14 rushing attempts for 70 yards and added two catches for 21 yards. Despite the limited number of snaps, Warren had his second-highest rushing total of the season. Gainwell didn't even have a carry while catching just two passes for four yards. Touchdowns have been hard to come by for Warren (he has just three), but he should maintain a safe floor as a volume-based RB2.

Los Angeles Rams backup running back
Blake Corum has now seen double-digit carries in three straight games for the Rams as he continues to see more work alongside starter
Kyren Williams. In Sunday's 42-26 win over the San Francisco 49ers in Week 10, Corum tied a season high with 13 rushing attempts for 56 yards while playing a season-high 39% of the offensive snaps. It helped the 24-year-old's cause that L.A. pulled away by multiple scores in the second half, but fantasy managers cannot ignore the fact that he has 38 carries for 151 yards (4.0 yards per rush) in the last three contests. The downside is the fact that Corum hasn't scored since Week 2, and he has only four receptions for 15 yards on eight targets on the season. Corum is definitely touchdown-dependent and continues to work behind Williams, but his increased involvement in a high-scoring offense at least makes him worth RB3/flex consideration in deeper leagues heading into a Week 11 divisional showdown against the Seattle Seahawks.

November 11, 2025
Cleveland Browns wide receiver
Cedric Tillman made his return from Injured Reserve in the Week 10 loss to the New York Jets on Sunday and played a healthy 73% of the offensive snaps, catching two of his four targets for 11 yards. Tillman's numbers certainly didn't stand out in the 27-20 loss in his first game back from injury, but his role should grow going forward, making him worth a look off the waiver wire this week. The 25-year-old is only rostered in 10% of Yahoo leagues, so he's widely available in fantasy football leagues. In four games before his injury, Tillman caught 11 of his 20 targets for 106 yards and two touchdowns as the clear WR2 behind
Jerry Jeudy. Tight ends
Harold Fannin Jr. and
David Njoku aren't going to remain heavily involved in the Browns' passing attack, but Tillman has the clear leg up to regain the WR2 role to close out the 2025 season.

November 11, 2025
Houston Texans rookie wide receiver
Jayden Higgins had his best game of the season in Week 10 against the Jacksonville Jaguars, catching five of his seven targets for 42 yards and a touchdown. Higgins has seen his route share creep back below 50% in the past two games with
Nico Collins back in the lineup, but he was still productive in his limited opportunity. Notably, the rookie wideout ran more routes than veteran
Christian Kirk for the first time this season when both are active. That will be a number to monitor for Higgins moving forward to see if he can establish himself as one of the team's top targets alongside Collins. The rookie second-rounder has intriguing upside as an add off the waiver wire in 12-team leagues for Week 11.
--Kyle McCarthySource: RotoBaller
November 11, 2025
Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver
Tyler Lockett had his best game of the season during their Week 10 loss to the Denver Broncos, catching five of six targets for 44 yards in his second game with the team. Lockett reunited with Raiders head coach Pete Carroll and quarterback
Geno Smith, signing with the team on October 27. The 33-year-old wasn't productive in his short stint with the Tennessee Titans, catching just 10 of 21 targets for 70 yards in seven games. The veteran showed that he still has something left in the tank against the Broncos, with his five receptions being the most since Week 4 of last season with the Seahawks. Lockett has familiarity with Smith and should have the opportunity to run plenty of routes after the Raiders traded
Jakobi Meyers to Jacksonville. Lockett could be a target off the waiver wire in deeper leagues for Week 11.

November 11, 2025
Baltimore Ravens tight end
Isaiah Likely had a quiet game in his team's Week 10 win over the Minnesota Vikings, recording two catches for 17 yards. However, Likely saw a season-high five targets. In the two full games he has played with Ravens quarterback
Lamar Jackson this season, Likely has been targeted nine times, hauling in five catches for 77 yards. The presence of veteran tight end
Mark Andrews in Baltimore limits Likely's playing-time upside, as he's played fewer than 59% of the Ravens' offensive snaps in each of their past three games. Still, Likely has proven he can be productive when Jackson is under center for Baltimore. Across 16 games with Jackson in 2024, Likely recorded 42 catches for 477 yards and six touchdowns on 58 targets. Heading into a Week 11 matchup against the Browns, Likely could be a decent stash candidate for fantasy managers to pick up off the waiver wire.
