Elgton Jenkins Diagnosed With a Fractured Leg
Green Bay Packers offensive lineman Elgton Jenkins got rolled up on in a pile-up on Monday Night Football, and his leg was twisted up underneath him. It was initially announced as an ankle injury, but X-rays showed a fracture in his lower leg, according to ESPN's Rob Demovsky. Jenkins shifted to center this season after an All-Pro campaign at left guard, and his injury continues a string of issues on the offensive line, with left guard Aaron Banks and right tackle Zach Tom also sidelined. Running back Josh Jacobs continues to be effective, but the Packers only managed seven points in their loss to the Eagles on Monday and will need improved pass protection if they're looking to make a deep playoff run. Jenkins doesn't have a timeline yet, but the injury doesn't necessarily mean he'll be out for the year, depending on the exact recovery time.

Jordan Love Struggles in Monday Night Loss To Eagles
Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love completed 20 of 36 passes for 176 yards and a lost fumble to go with five carries for 28 yards in a 10-7 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. Love and the Packers offense couldn't get anything going on Monday night. The 176 passing yards marked the lowest of the season, and Love has now posted back-to-back games with below double-digit fantasy points. The 27-year-old certainly missed the presence of his star tight end Tucker Kraft (knee), plus dynamic rookie wideout Matthew Golden (shoulder), and then top receiver Romeo Doubs also left the game early with a chest injury. The Green Bay running game was stuck in the mud all game and didn't help set up Love in favorable down-and-distance situations, but he made plenty of mistakes as well. Love will look to bounce back in Week 11 against the New York Giants.

Jalen Hurts Has Modest Performance in Monday Night Win Over Packers
Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts completed 15 of 26 pass attempts for 183 yards and a touchdown to go with five carries for 27 yards and a lost fumble in a 10-7 win over the Green Bay Packers on Monday night. Hurts wasn't the most dynamic in this game as the Eagles struggled to consistently move the ball, and while he did lose a fumble on a rushing attempt on a solid opening drive, he did well to avoid mistakes otherwise. The 27-year-old didn't take a sack all night against a vaunted Packers pass rush, his first game without one since Week 8 of last season. Hurts managed the game for the most part while the Philadelphia defense dominated, but he made his best throw of the night on a 36-yard touchdown to DeVonta Smith. Hurts and the Eagles could be in for a shootout next week when they take on the Detroit Lions on Sunday Night Football.

Saquon Barkley Totals 91 Yards in Monday Night Win Over Packers
Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley recorded 22 carries for 60 yards and added three receptions (three targets) for 41 yards in Monday night's 10-7 win over the Green Bay Packers. It was a struggle for Barkley and the Philadelphia offense all night, as he averaged just 2.7 yards per carry, and even his 41 receiving yards came entirely on one reception. It was a disappointing performance for the 28-year-old after having his best game of the season before the bye in Week 8 against the Giants, totaling 174 yards and two touchdowns. He did tweak his groin in that game, but was cleared from the injury report earlier this week. Barkley has already posted five games with fewer than four yards per carry this season after having just two such games all of last season. His involvement as a receiver this season has at least helped offset the lack of breakaway runs, with 27 receptions through nine games compared to 33 in 16 games last year. Barkley will look to bounce back in Week 11 against the Detroit Lions.

DeVonta Smith Leads Eagles With 69 Yards and Touchdown in Week 10 Win
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith caught four of his six targets for 69 yards and a touchdown in a 10-7 win over the Green Bay Packers on Monday Night Football. Smith was one of the few bright spots for Philadelphia in an otherwise ugly offensive performance. His 36-yard touchdown catch was the highlight play of the game, as he beat the safety over the top and then elevated to secure the contested grab. The 27-year-old has been on a tear recently, recording 31 catches for 499 yards and two touchdowns on 41 targets over his last five games, averaging 18.6 PPR points per game. Smith will look to continue his strong production in Week 11 on Sunday Night Football against the Detroit Lions.

Josh Jacobs Scores 11th Touchdown of Season in Monday Night Loss
Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs recorded 21 carries for 74 yards and a touchdown while adding five catches (six targets) for 33 yards in Monday night's 10-7 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. It was an ugly offensive performance for both teams, and Jacobs had another inefficient outing on the ground. The 27-year-old is averaging just 3.8 yards per carry this season, which would be the second-lowest in a season for his career. Jacobs continues to be a touchdown machine, however, scoring for the sixth consecutive game. His 11 touchdowns are second only to Colts superstar running back Jonathan Taylor. Jacobs' fantasy production continues to rely heavily on volume, and it was encouraging to see his involvement in the passing game, as his five catches matched a season high. Jacobs will remain a solid RB1 for Week 11 against the New York Giants.

Malik Washington's Production Trending Upwards Heading into Week 11
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Malik Washington recorded just two catches for nine yards on three targets in Week 10, but he also managed to haul in his second touchdown grab in his last three games played. Washington has emerged as the clear number two wide receiver in Miami since star wideout Tyreek Hill (knee) was lost for the season with a knee injury in Week 4. In the six games since Hill went down, Washington has recorded 22 catches for 165 yards and two touchdowns on 29 targets. The 24-year-old also plays a small role in the running game, rushing for 18 yards on four attempts over the last two weeks. Washington may not have a crazy upside, but he should provide a stable target floor heading into a highly favorable Week 11 matchup against the Washington Commanders. In deep fantasy leagues, he could be a decent flex option for managers to target off the waiver wire.

Romeo Doubs Questionable to Return in Week 10 Due to Chest Injury
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Romeo Doubs (chest) is questionable to return to his team's Week 10 matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles due to a chest injury. Doubs recorded one catch for five yards on four targets before getting hurt. If he is unable to return, Packers wideouts Dontayvion Wicks and Christian Watson are the most likely candidates to lead the team in targets and playing time the rest of the way. Doubs has been Green Bay's most consistent wide receiver so far this season, so his absence would be a significant loss for the team. Entering Week 10, the Packers were already without wide receivers Matthew Golden (shoulder) and Jayden Reed (collarbone, foot).

Jalen Nailor Earning Larger Role in Minnesota?
Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jalen Nailor had his best game of the season in Week 10, recording five catches for 124 yards and a touchdown on six targets in his team's 27-19 loss to the Baltimore Ravens. Nailor remains stuck behind star wideouts Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison on the Vikings' wide receiver depth chart. However, Nailor seems to have some degree of chemistry with Minnesota quarterback J.J. McCarthy. In the four games McCarthy has started this season, Nailor has been targeted 18 times. The Vikings now have a very favorable matchup in Week 11 when they host the Chicago Bears. In deep fantasy leagues, Nailor could be worth adding off the waiver wire.

Olamide Zaccheaus Continues to See Regular Playing Time in Chicago
Chicago Bears wide receiver Olamide Zaccheaus was held in check by the New York Giants in Week 10, recording one catch for five yards on four targets. Still, the 28-year-old continues to play a consistent role in Chicago's offense. Zaccheaus has played at least 57% of the Bears' offensive snaps in six out of the team's last seven games. For the season, he's recorded 32 catches for 248 yards and a touchdown on 50 targets. Between wide receivers Rome Odunze, DJ Moore, and Luther Burden III, there's plenty of target competition for Zaccheaus in Chicago. Still, Zaccheaus has recorded at least six targets in four out of his last six games played. In deep fantasy leagues, he could be worth adding off the waiver wire.

Sterling Shepard Could Continue to See Playing Time in Week 11
Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Sterling Shepard had a quiet game in his team's 28-23 Week 10 loss to the New England Patriots, recording three catches for 20 yards on four targets. The 32-year-old has now failed to crack 25 receiving yards in three straight contests, even with veteran Bucs wideouts Mike Evans (collarbone) and Chris Godwin (leg) sidelined. Rookie wide receiver Tez Johnson appears to have surpassed Shepard on Tampa Bay's wide receiver depth chart. Johnson has out-snapped and out-produced Shepard in two straight games. Still, Godwin may remain sidelined for Tampa Bay's Week 11 matchup against the Buffalo Bills, which keeps the door open for Shepard. He could be worth adding in deep fantasy leagues heading into Week 11.

Joe Flacco Could Remain a Viable Starting Option Following Bye Week
Since taking over as the Cincinnati Bengals' starting quarterback in Week 6, Joe Flacco has put up gaudy statistics. Across four starts, Flacco has thrown for 1,254 yards, 11 touchdowns, and two interceptions. The Bengals opened up quarterback Joe Burrow's (toe) 21-day Injured Reserve activation window on Monday, but Burrow is reportedly targeting Thanksgiving as a return date. A Thanksgiving return for Burrow would give Flacco two more starts under center in Cincinnati, starting with a trip to Pittsburgh to take on the Steelers in Week 11. Flacco torched Pittsburgh back in Week 7, throwing for 342 yards and three touchdowns. In fantasy leagues where Flacco may have been dropped during Cincinnati's Week 10 bye, he could be worth adding as a low-end QB1 option in Week 11.

Calvin Austin III Worth Monitoring Ahead of Week 11
Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Calvin Austin III hasn't posted great stats this season, but does have some good things going for him. In Week 10, Austin hauled in two of his seven targets for 14 yards in the loss to the Los Angeles Chargers. Austin tied fellow wideout DK Metcalf for the team lead with seven targets during that game. The 26-year-old has seen six or more targets in three straight games. Austin hasn't posted excellent stats during those games, but is getting the ball thrown his way more often. That being said, Austin could be someone worth looking at for the upcoming Week 11 matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals. Austin might be able to do some damage against that struggling secondary.

Jayden Reed Could be Worth Stashing with Return Looming
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Jayden Reed (collarbone, foot) is currently working his way back to the field. Reed was recently spotted at practice doing some light work. The 25-year-old has been out since suffering a broken collarbone in Week 2. Despite that, Reed could be back in the near future. He still hasn't returned to practice with pads, so fantasy managers shouldn't expect him to play in Week 11. However, Reed could be worth stashing on the IR for fantasy managers who have a spot available. Reed might still miss a few more games, but could be a decent contributor once he's healthy. Reed might be a nice addition to fantasy rosters right around playoff time.

Bills Keeping Joe Brady as Offensive Coordinator
Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott denied any rumors of the organization making a change at offensive coordinator. There was speculation that Brian Daboll could return as the OC in Buffalo after being fired as the New York Giants head coach on Monday. Daboll spent four years as the Bills' offensive coordinator from 2018-2021 before taking the Giants head coaching position. It appears the Bills have no desire to bring back Daboll right now and plan to stick with Joe Brady as the OC going forward.
