Dalton Schultz Will be Active Against Titans
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.

Parker Washington Will Play in Week 11, Facing Smaller Role?
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.

Deebo Samuel Sr. Still A Trustworthy Starter in Fantasy For Week 11?
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.

Joe Flacco Will Suit Up in Week 11
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.

Bill Belichick Won't Pursue NFL Head-Coaching Vacancies
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.

Khalil Shakir in the Clear to Play in Week 11
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.

Jeremy McNichols Off Fantasy Radars For 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.

Eagles' Offensive Line Healthy for Showdown With Lions
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.

Jacory Croskey-Merritt Better Left on Benches 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.

T.J. Edwards Ruled Out for Week 11
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.

Bijan Robinson a High-End RB1 in Rematch Against Carolina
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.

Broncos Defense to be Without Pat Surtain, Alex Singleton, Jonah Elliss
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.

Chris Rodriguez Jr. In Flex Consideration For Week 11
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.

Marvin Mims Jr. Cleared to Face Chiefs on Sunday
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.

Samaje Perine Ruled Out for Week 11
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.
