Washington Commanders wide receiver
Terry McLaurin (quadriceps) will not play against the Miami Dolphins in Madrid in Week 11, according to JP Finlay of NBC Sports Washington. McLaurin missed four games earlier this season with a quad injury suffered in Week 4 and then aggravated the injury in Week 8. The 30-year-old has not practiced or played since the aggravation, and now he'll miss a third straight game in Week 11. Washington has its bye in Week 12, so the earliest we'll see McLaurin again will be for a Sunday night contest in Week 13 against the Denver Broncos. The former third-round pick has been a fantasy bust in 2025 after going over 1,000 receiving yards for the fifth straight season in 2024. Through only four games played this year, he has a 13-203-1 line. With McLaurin out another week and
Luke McCaffrey (collarbone) also sidelined,
Deebo Samuel Sr., rookie
Jaylin Lane, and former first-rounder
Treylon Burks will be the Commanders' top three wideouts.

San Francisco 49ers running back
Brian Robinson Jr. saw a limited workload in Sunday's matchup against the Rams, but was highly efficient in the loss. On the field for only 14 offensive snaps, Robinson took eight carries for 41 yards and a touchdown. Over the past two weeks, he has turned 13 carries into 94 yards and two scores. While not seeing nearly enough usage to be a reliable fantasy asset, Robinson remains one of the most important insurance backs in the league. Should
Christian McCaffrey miss time or cede any work down the stretch, Robinson has proven more than capable in Kyle Shanahan's running back-friendly offense. Robinson should be rostered in all leagues for the league-winning upside he represents, but he's also proven that he has just enough standalone value to be plugged into the flex in a pinch.

When asked on Monday if Cleveland Browns quarterback
Deshaun Watson (Achilles) would have his 21-day practice window opened this week, head coach Kevin Stefanski told reporters, "I'm not sure if that's what we're doing." Recent reports have indicated that Watson's recovery from a torn Achilles suffered in Week 7 of 2024 has been going well, even after an additional surgery in January. Rookie
Dillon Gabriel has started the last five games for the Browns, going 1-4 in that stretch, while throwing six touchdown passes to two interceptions. Fellow rookie
Shedeur Sanders was the team's QB2 on Sunday after missing time with back tightness. Regardless of who is under center in Cleveland, the team's pass catchers face a muddled competition for below-average targets and will likely not be a part of many fantasy playoff rosters.

New York Giants tight end
Theo Johnson caught a season-high seven passes for 75 yards in Sunday's Week 10 loss to the Bears. Since
Jaxson Dart took over as the Giants' starting quarterback in Week 4, Johnson has been on a 17-game pace of 66 catches for 644 yards and 12 touchdowns, putting him squarely in the every-week starter conversation. Unfortunately, Dart left Sunday's game with a concussion and will now need to clear protocol before retaking the field, but the Giants boast one of the most tight-end-friendly schedules down the stretch, with fantasy playoff matchups against both the Commanders and Vikings. While the Giants organization faces turmoil in a week that saw head coach Brian Daboll fired, the connection between Dart and Johnson seems legitimate. As long as the rookie signal-caller doesn't face a prolonged absence, Johnson is a valuable streaming option that should be available on most waiver wires.

Arizona Cardinals running back
Emari Demercado had only seven total touches in Sunday's blowout loss to the Seahawks. Still, he was able to salvage a respectable fantasy performance on the back of two big plays, a 55-yard fourth-quarter rush, and a 34-yard catch and run on a first-half dumpoff. He finished the day with 104 yards and looked like the Cardinals' most explosive back for the second straight week. Unfortunately, he still finds himself in a near 50/50 time share with
Bam Knight, making him little more than a desperation flex play until
Trey Benson (knee) returns from the knee injury that has now cost him five games. The Cardinals face the 49ers in Week 11, an above-average matchup for running backs, and Demercado represents a high-risk/moderate-reward on this week's waiver wire.

Houston Texans tight end
Dalton Schultz caught seven of 11 targets for 53 yards and a touchdown in the team's improbable Week 10 win over the Jaguars. In
Davis Mills' first start since 2022, only
Nico Collins demanded a higher target share. Schultz has now caught at least five passes for 50+ yards in four of his last five games, proving himself to be an important piece of the Texans' passing offense, regardless of who is under center. While Sunday's fourth-quarter touchdown was his first of the season, he's been able to provide a reliable floor on volume alone. With
C.J. Stroud one week further along in the concussion protocol, Shultz remains in the streaming conversation in another divisional matchup with the Titans in Week 11. And should Stroud be sidelined for one more week, fantasy managers should feel reassured by Schultz's early chemistry with Mills.

Cincinnati Bengals head coach Zac Taylor said on Monday that All-Pro defensive end Trey Hendrickson (hip) will be doubtful to play in Week 11 against the division-rival Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday, according to Kelsey Conway of the Cincinnati Enquirer. Hendrickson missed his second game of the year in the Week 9 loss to the Chicago Bears, and it appears he's still not ready to play despite having a bye in Week 10 to heal up. It's unclear if Hendrickson will be ready to return to action for a Week 12 tilt next weekend against the New England Patriots. Even with Hendrickson active in 2025, Cincy's defense has continued to slow down opponents, allowing a league-high 33.3 points per game through nine contests. Hendrickson has been a disappointment after back-to-back 17.5-sack seasons, too, as he only has four QB takedowns and a forced fumble in his seven starts in 2025.

Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Liam Coen said on Monday that tight end
Brenton Strange's (quadriceps) 21-day practice window will be opened this week. "He's very eager to get out there and compete... trying to not put a ton of huge expectations on him. More like 'hey, let's just get you back out there, practicing.' We're obviously hopeful, but taking it day to day," Coen said. The 24-year-old was initially projected to miss at least five weeks due to a quad and hip injury that included a ligament tear. Now that he's returning to practice, the Jags will have 21 days to officially activate Strange from IR, but that likely won't happen before the team's Week 11 game this Sunday versus the Los Angeles Chargers. Strange was emerging as an upside TE2 before his injury, catching 20 passes for 204 yards in five games, and he could be more involved when he returns with rookie first-round wideout
Travis Hunter (knee) on IR.

NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reports that the Cincinnati Bengals have advanced quarterback
Joe Burrow (toe) for a limited return to practice on Monday so that he can start progressing to on-field activities. It's a major step towards playing again later this year, and the Bengals can technically activate him from Injured Reserve anytime within the next 21 days. Burrow's recovery from turf-toe surgery is on track, but the expectation is that he won't return until around mid-December, at the earliest. So fantasy managers who have been stashing the former first overall pick might be disappointed when all is said and done. The 28-year-old two-time Pro Bowler played in just two games earlier this season before suffering a Grade 3 turf-toe injury that required surgery. The Bengals went with
Jake Browning initially as Burrow's replacement before acquiring veteran
Joe Flacco in a trade with Cleveland. Flacco will continue to serve as Cincy's starting QB until Burrow is cleared.
UPDATE: Head coach Zac Taylor said Burrow won't play in Week 11 against the division-rival Pittsburgh Steelers.--Keith HernandezSource: NFL Network - Tom Pelissero

The New York Giants fired head coach Brian Daboll on Monday, sources tell Adam Schefter of ESPN. The move came after the Giants blew a fourth-quarter lead to lose to the Chicago Bears 24-20 on Sunday after rookie quarterback
Jaxson Dart left the contest with a concussion. Offensive coordinator Mike Kafka, who has interviewed for head-coaching jobs in recent seasons, will take over as the interim head coach going forward. The Giants went 2-8 under Daboll this year in his fourth season with the team. New York set a franchise record with their 11th straight road loss in Chicago in Week 10, a year after the Giants set a franchise record with a 10-game losing streak last year under Daboll. In his first year in the Big Apple, Daboll led the G-Men to the playoffs and was named Coach of the Year, but it fell apart quickly after that.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles said that the team is hoping to get wide receiver
Chris Godwin (leg) back soon, but there is still no timetable for his return, according to the Pewter Report. Godwin didn't make his 2025 debut until Week 4 after rehabbing a serious ankle dislocation that he suffered in Week 7 of 2024. The 29-year-old played in two games before suffering a serious fibula injury, and he hasn't played since Week 5. Although the Bucs could really use him back following
Mike Evans' broken collarbone, the team isn't going to rush him back, and reports have suggested he might not play in a game again until December. Fantasy managers should expect Godwin to miss a fifth straight game in Week 11 versus the Buffalo Bills. Until Godwin can return, rookies
Emeka Egbuka and
Tez Johnson should continue to do the heavy lifting in the passing game.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles said that running back
Bucky Irving's (foot, shoulder) injury is more of a shoulder issue than his foot injury. The head coach said, "Hopefully he's back soon," but Bowles is unsure if Irving will be ready to play in Week 11 against the Buffalo Bills. Fantasy managers were hopeful that Irving would be ready to roll coming off the team's Week 9 bye, but he was held out for a fifth straight game in the Week 10 loss to the New England Patriots. The 23-year-old is dealing with a shoulder subluxation and a mid-foot sprain, and he cannot be counted on to return this weekend for a showdown against the Bills. If Irving misses a sixth straight game,
Rachaad White will once again "start," but
Sean Tucker will continue to be involved in Tampa's backfield. Despite missing extended time this year due to multiple injuries, Irving must remain stashed in all fantasy leagues.

Houston Texans head coach DeMeco Ryans said on Monday that quarterback
C.J. Stroud (concussion) remains in the league's concussion protocol, according to Jonathan M. Alexander of the Houston Chronicle. Stroud suffered a concussion early in the Week 9 loss to the Denver Broncos and wasn't cleared to play in the Week 10 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars. The 24-year-old still has time to work his way through he concussion protocol, but he's not guaranteed to return this week when the team has another divisional game against the Tennessee Titans. The Texans could lean toward holding Stroud another week, too, after backup
Davis Mills nearly threw for 300 yards in an impressive comeback win on Sunday. We'll have a better idea of Stroud's Week 11 status once the Texans release their first injury report of the week on Wednesday.

Houston Texans quarterback
Davis Mills led an improbable comeback on Sunday to help beat the Jacksonville Jaguars 36-29 in Week 10, throwing for 292 yards, two touchdowns, and an interception, and also rushing for 20 yards and another score. Mills was making his first start of the year with
C.J. Stroud out with a concussion, and he didn't really do much until coming alive in the fourth quarter to lead the Texans all the way back. The 27-year-old's two touchdown passes went to rookie receiver
Jayden Higgins and tight end
Dalton Schultz. It was a spirited performance by Mills behind a suspect offensive line, but it could be short-lived if Stroud clears the league's concussion protocol to play in Week 11 against the division-rival Tennessee Titans. If Mills does get another start, he'd still only be a low-end QB2 streaming option in superflex leagues and would be unlikely to repeat his Week 10 performance.

Carolina Panthers tight end
Ja'Tavion Sanders had his best game since Week 2 in Carolina's 17-7 loss to the New Orleans Saints in Week 10, but his totals were still underwhelming. The Carolina tight end caught all five of his targets for 32 yards and logged 8.2 PPR fantasy points. Despite being tied for the most receptions of all pass catchers on the Panthers,
Tetairoa McMillan still outperformed him in yardage, 60 to 32. Carolina will next take on the Atlanta Falcons, who ranked first in Fantasy Points Per Game allowed to TEs (6.43) in the four weeks leading up to Week 10. The second-year TE has not proven he can overcome the daunting matchup. With one of the worst matchups for his position, fantasy players can continue to scroll past his name when looking for a streaming or fill-in TE.
