The Cleveland Browns will not open the 21-day practice window for quarterback
Deshaun Watson (Achilles) this week, despite him showing great progress in his recovery, according to Mary Kay Cabot of Cleveland.com. Watson continues to recover from the injury suffered in Week 7 of last season, in addition to a re-rupturing of his Achilles, but isn't quite ready to practice yet. It remains uncertain if he will return this season or play for Cleveland at all in the future. In the meantime, rookie
Dillon Gabriel will continue to start at quarterback for Cleveland.

Atlanta Falcons running back
Bijan Robinson rushed 17 times for 84 yards in Sunday's 31-25 overtime loss to the Colts, adding two catches for four yards in the contest. It was the third straight week without a touchdown, though, currently sitting with two rushing and two receiving scores on the season. Fellow running back
Tyler Allgeier scored twice, however, and now has six rushing touchdowns on the season, despite totaling 79 touches for 290 yards from scrimmage compared to Robinson's 178 touches for 1,146 yards. The problem for fantasy managers was glaring in Sunday's game, which was that Allgeier received five red zone attempts while Robinson saw only one. Allgeier doesn't get much work, especially if the Falcons are playing from behind, but he's getting a lot of the carries that matter when games are close, and Atlanta's next few games should be competitive (CAR, @NO, @NYJ). Although Robinson drew only two targets on Sunday, his work in the passing attack typically provides a solid floor for fantasy, but the lack of touchdowns is concerning. Nevertheless, he should be a top-five option at the position in Week 11 against Carolina, a defense that gave up 146 yards from scrimmage to running backs this past week.

Cleveland Browns rookie tight end
Harold Fannin Jr. ranks second on the team in total targets on the season, trailing only wide receiver
Jerry Jeudy. Fannin recorded four catches for 44 yards on seven targets in Cleveland's Week 10 loss at the New York Jets. The rookie third-rounder has been a consistent piece of the offense from the start, playing at least 60% of the snaps in every game this season. Fannin has caught at least four balls in five straight games and has been one of the most productive rookie pass catchers in the league despite a poor offensive environment in Cleveland. Fannin has the fifth most receiving yards (396), third most receptions (42), and the fourth most targets (57) among all rookie wide receivers and tight ends. Fannin will rank as a borderline TE1 in Week 11 against the Baltimore Ravens.

Washington Commanders rookie running back
Jacory Croskey-Merritt had started every game since Week 5, but his recent struggles led to the team starting third-year back
Chris Rodriguez Jr. in Week 10 against the Detroit Lions. Rodriguez ended up leaving the game early due to a shoulder injury, but he played 72% of the snaps in the first half compared to Croskey-Merritt at 16%. As a result of the injury and the game being out of hand, the rookie seventh-rounder played 65.4% of snaps in the second half. It was still another inefficient outing on the ground for the 24-year-old with just 30 yards on 11 carries. Croskey-Merritt hasn't surpassed four yards per carry in a game since his 150-yard, two-touchdown performance in Week 5 against the Chargers. Rodriguez's status will be updated throughout the week as the Commanders travel to Madrid to take on the Dolphins in Week 11, but it looks like Croskey-Merritt has lost grip on the starting running back duties in Washington.

Chicago Bears rookie running back
Kyle Monangai enjoyed a breakout game in the first start of his career in Week 9 against the Cincinnati Bengals, recording 198 total yards on 29 touches. With starter
D'Andre Swift returning in Week 10, Monangai was still a part of the offense, but took a backseat to Swift as he continues to run well this season. The rookie seventh-rounder played 39.1% of the snaps and had seven carries for 28 yards in Chicago's Week 10 win over the Giants. Swift, on the other hand, played 60.9% of the snaps and handled 18 touches for 98 yards from scrimmage. The 60-40 split could be how head coach Ben Johnson manages the backfield moving forward, with Swift enjoying a resurgent season and Monangai serving as a physical, downhill back to complement Swift. Monangai remains a must roster player due to his upside when Swift is out and holds standalone value as a flex play for Week 11 against the Minnesota Vikings.

Tennessee Titans running back
Tyjae Spears will have a tough matchup as his team returns from its bye week against the Texans, but he's worth a look from the waiver wire since he has been working in such a prominent role in the Titans' backfield. Spears missed the first four weeks of the season, but he played between 40% and 60% of the team's snaps in each of the last four weeks. In his five games, he has 30 carries for 152 yards and a touchdown, while adding 13 catches for 96 more yards. He has at least three catches in each of the last four weeks and should be fully healthy coming down the stretch for the Titans. The offense has struggled under
Cam Ward, but as the rookie finds his way, Spears could be an interesting late-season addition. He has some favorable RB matchups ahead with the Jaguars, 49ers, and Saints remaining on his schedule down the road.

Cleveland Browns running back
Quinshon Judkins has had a strong rookie campaign through eight games, handling 140 carries for 561 yards and five touchdowns to go with 14 catches (18 targets) for 70 yards as a receiver. The 22-year-old was bottled up on heavy usage in Cleveland's Week 10 loss at the Jets, averaging just 3.5 yards on 24 touches. Judkins has taken on one of the biggest workloads in the league as a rookie, with his 17.5 carries per game ranking sixth highest among running backs. Cleveland's poor offensive situation has limited some of the upside, and he doesn't catch a ton of passes, but the rookie has still been productive, ranking as RB20 in PPR points per game (13.4). Judkins will remain on the RB1/RB2 border for Week 11 against the Baltimore Ravens.

Minnesota Vikings quarterback
J.J. McCarthy has been hot-and-cold in his limited experience as the team's starter, but the Vikings believe his struggles are to be expected as he acclimates to the NFL. The league's youngest starter at age 22, McCarthy is completing 53.7% of his passes with five touchdowns and six interceptions through four games. The Vikings certainly didn't help the young quarterback with eight false start penalties in Sunday's loss to Baltimore, which contributed heavily to only 13 carries for running backs and 42 passing attempts. McCarthy currently has the highest depth of target of any quarterback in the NFL, and Vikings head coach Kevin O'Connell acknowledged some of the game scripts have not "fit hand in hand with where you'd like the game to be for the ascension of (McCarthy's) development." While Minnesota continues taking the long view with McCarthy, managers will have to gauge their risk tolerance for playing an erratic, if promising, young quarterback during the fantasy home stretch.

Coming off a frustrating loss to the Baltimore Ravens in Week 10, Minnesota Vikings wide receiver
Justin Jefferson vowed to improve following a rare quiet game. Jefferson was targeted 12 times, but caught only four for 37 yards. A number of factors led to Minnesota's struggles, most notably eight false start penalties that had the offense playing from behind most of the day. Quarterback
J.J. McCarthy, the NFL's youngest starter at age 22, has been inconsistent, but the Vikings saw promise in two near-connections with Jefferson. On the first, McCarthy saw Baltimore's zero coverage and heaved a deep ball to Jefferson, who lost his footing with incidental contact, leading to an interception. The star receiver also nearly caught a touchdown on an accurate ball in traffic that would have been a tough catch, but he said he views it as his job to "make the 50-50 opportunity catches look 70-30," according to The Athletic. For fantasy managers, Jefferson is a must-start player every week, but the Vikings look like they're going to be erratic as they weather McCarthy's growing pains.

Minnesota Vikings running backs
Aaron Jones Sr. and
Jordan Mason combined for only 13 carries in the team's Week 10 loss to Baltimore, but the running game was hindered by a significant number of presnap penalties. Minnesota committed a whopping eight false start penalties -- the most by a team since 2011 -- including five of them on first-and-10 situations, and also committed three turnovers. Both Jones and Mason were above five years per carry, but Minnesota found itself in so many poor down-and-distance situations that it attempted 42 passes. "When you average six yards a play on offense, it's all for naught if you're going to be giving back so many of those yards in different capacities," Vikings head coach Kevin O'Connell said. It was a frustrating day for managers who started Jones or Mason, but an aberrational amount of penalties suggests Minnesota's top two running backs were not the problem with the rushing attack.

Houston Texans running back
Woody Marks has continued to play in a larger role in the team's timeshare in recent weeks, and he found the end zone again on Sunday against the Jaguars. Marks took 14 carries for 53 yards and a touchdown while also adding two catches for 18 more yards.
Nick Chubb only had five carries but managed 47 yards. Marks has done most of the work on passing downs and played a season-high 80% of snaps in Week 10, since he team played from behind against the Jaguars. Marks will continue to share time with Chubb going forward, including in Week 11 against the Titans. If the Texans play from ahead, Chubb could get more of an even split, but Marks still has a very high ceiling in the favorable matchup against Tennessee and is a great addition if he's still on the waiver wire in your leagues.

Arizona Cardinals quarterback
Jacoby Brissett has posted solid numbers since moving into the starting role, and he'll keep the starting job while
Kyler Murray (foot) spends at least the next three weeks on IR. Brissett has thrown for over 250 yards in each of his four starts and has thrown for exactly two touchdowns in each outing. He added a touchdown run as well in the team's win over the Cowboys in Week 9, and in Week 10, he threw for 258 passing yards on 44 pass attempts against the Seahawks. Coach Jonathan Gannon has shown plenty of trust in Brissett to air it out, and this week, he has a favorable matchup against the 49ers. San Francisco has allowed the ninth-most fantasy points to quarterbacks this season, so Brissett is definitely worth a look as a streaming option or as a QB2 in Week 11.

Kansas City Chiefs running back
Kareem Hunt had a solid Week 9 with 11 carries for 49 rushing yards and a touchdown against the Bills. He picked up more work with
Isiah Pacheco (knee) on the sidelines, but it is possible that Pacheco will return in Week 11 against the Broncos. Hunt has six touchdowns on the season and four scores in the last five weeks. The Broncos have been a tough matchup for running backs this season, but Hunt has touchdown-dependent upside if you are looking for running back help or are desperate for a flex play this week.

Free agent kicker
Ben Sauls is signing with the New York Giants' practice squad this Tuesday. The Giants have had issues at kicker with
Graham Gano suffering a neck injury that kept him out of the Week 10. Gano also spent time on injured reserve with a groin injury earlier this year. Last week,
Younghoe Koo made both of his field goal and extra point attempts. Sauls had a strong college career at Pitt, making 81.3% of field goal attempts (52-of-64) and 98.4% of his extra points (122-of-124). The addition of Sauls gives the Giants three kickers on their practice squad, with Sauls, Koo, and
Jude McAtamney as candidates to be promoted for Sunday's game if Gano is out.

The Minnesota Vikings believe edge rusher Jonathan Greenard (shoulder) avoided a serious injury during a Week 10 game against Baltimore, according to head coach Kevin O'Connell. The 2024 Pro Bowler departed the game against the Ravens and did not return, but it appears as if he will have a chance to play as early as this week. O'Connell said Greenard is on track to return to practice, though it seems likely he will carry an injury designation when the team releases its first injury report of the week on Wednesday. Managers in IDP leagues can hold for now, but should make alternate plans for Week 11 in case the injury prevents Greenard from suiting up against the Chicago Bears.
