Minnesota Vikings quarterback
J.J. McCarthy (right hand) practiced in full on Thursday after being listed as a limited participant on Wednesday due to a hand injury. The 22-year-old appears to be tracking towards being fine for his team's crucial Week 11 matchup against the Chicago Bears. McCarthy had a rough game in Week 10, completing less than 50% of his pass attempts and throwing two interceptions in a loss to the Baltimore Ravens. On the plus side, he rushed for 48 yards and has now racked up 100 rushing yards and two touchdowns across four games this season. McCarthy's legs could be an even greater emphasis in Week 11 if he's battling an injury to his throwing hand. He profiles as a low-end fantasy QB2 in Week 11 against Chicago.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver
Chris Godwin (leg) recorded his second straight limited practice on Thursday. The veteran has missed four consecutive games due to a fibula injury, but it appears he has a chance to make his return in Week 11 against the Buffalo Bills. Across the two games he's been active for in 2025, Godwin has recorded six catches for 52 yards on 14 targets. Given his myriad injury issues over the past year-plus, Tampa Bay may look to re-integrate Godwin into the offense slowly. If he remains out in Week 11, rookie wide receiver
Tez Johnson would likely serve as the team's WR2 alongside
Emeka Egbuka for another game. Based on him logging back-to-back limited practices to open the week, Godwin's Week 11 status may not be determined until Sunday.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back
Bucky Irving (foot, shoulder) returned to practice this week and was limited for the second straight day on Thursday, according to Brianna Dix of Buccaneers.com. Irving has not played since Week 4, but it appears he might have a real chance at returning this Sunday to take on the Buffalo Bills. The 23-year-old was Tampa's clear lead back before suffering a shoulder subluxation and a sprained foot. Fantasy managers have to be stoked that Irving is making progress, but keep in mind that head coach Todd Bowles said earlier this week that he didn't expect Irving to play in Week 11. He'll probably need a full practice on Friday to have a realistic shot at playing this weekend. If Irving isn't cleared, his next chance to play will be in Week 12 against the Los Angeles Rams.
Rachaad White and
Sean Tucker will split backfield work another week if Irving doesn't play.

Chicago Bears running back
D'Andre Swift (hip) returned to a full practice session on Thursday after he was limited the day before, according to Courtney Cronin of ESPN. Swift missed the Week 9 game due to a nagging groin issue, but he returned in last week's win over the New York Giants and handled 18 touches for 98 scrimmage yards. However, rookie RB
Kyle Monangai, who went off in Week 9 in Swift's absence, scored the team's lone rushing touchdown on seven carries. The 26-year-old Swift is still the Bears' lead back, but the emergence of Monangai as his change-of-pace backfield mate could limit Swift's overall weekly upside in the second half of the season. Swift is the RB14 in half-PPR scoring this year with 544 rushing yards and four touchdowns on 113 carries while adding 23 catches for 210 yards and another score in eight games. He'll be a high-end RB2 in Week 11 against the G-Men.

After missing practice on Wednesday, Chicago Bears wide receiver
DJ Moore (shoulder) was upgraded to a limited participant on Thursday, according to ESPN's Courtney Cronin. Moore hurt his shoulder in the second half of last week's win over the New York Giants, but he was able to return and should be fine to play in Week 11 on the road against the division-rival Minnesota Vikings this Sunday. Although Moore has been the team's second leading receiver through 10 weeks behind second-year wideout
Rome Odunze, he's been pretty unreliable for fantasy purposes and has only one receiving touchdown on the year. Through nine games, Moore has 30 catches on 48 targets for 403 yards and one TD through the air. He also has a TD on the ground and has thrown a TD pass. The 28-year-old has a matchup to exploit this weekend in New York, but he's been a low-volume, low-ceiling WR4/flex in fantasy.

Chicago Bears wide receiver
Rome Odunze (ankle) upgraded to a limited practice on Thursday, according to Courtney Cronin of ESPN. Odunze has been dealing with an ankle injury since late October and hasn't been taking part in practices on Wednesdays. Now that the 23-year-old second-year wideout is back at practice on Thursday, he will most likely upgrade to full on Friday and be cleared to play in a Week 11 contest on the road against the division-rival Minnesota Vikings. In the season-opening loss to Minnesota back on Sept. 8, Odunze caught six of his nine targets for 37 yards and his first touchdown of the year. He went on a four-game touchdown drought before returning to the end zone in last Sunday's win over the Giants, catching six of his 10 targets for 86 yards. Outside of a donut against the Bengals in Week 9, Odunze has been the Bears' most consistent WR, and he leads the team in catches (37), targets (69), receiving yards (559), and touchdowns (six).

Green Bay Packers wide receiver
Christian Watson (knee, hamstring) was limited in practice on Thursday, but he said he's "just sore" and still considers himself in the "ramp-up stage" of his return from a torn ACL he suffered in last year's regular-season finale, according to Rob Demovsky of ESPN. When asked if he expects to play on Sunday against the New York Giants, Watson said, "Oh yeah." The 26-year-old former second-rounder in 2022 made his season debut in Week 8 and has caught eight of his 12 targets for 188 yards and no touchdowns in his first three games. He started by playing only 56% of the offensive snaps in Week 8, but he has slowly seen more action and saw an 82% snap share in the Monday night loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. Watson is a bit of a boom/bust fantasy asset, but he's averaging a healthy 23.5 yards per catch as a big-play guy, and he could certainly boom this weekend against the G-Men.

Carolina Panthers running back
Rico Dowdle (quadriceps) was seen warming up at the portion of practice open to the media, so it looks like he will return to practice on Thursday, according to Alex Zietlow of The Charlotte Observer. Just like last week, Dowdle did not practice on Wednesday before returning to the field the following day. The 27-year-old has been managing a quad issue, but it hasn't kept him from playing and serving as Carolina's unquestioned lead back. He will likely be limited on Thursday, but as long as he upgrades to full on Friday (like he did last week), he should be good to go for Sunday's divisional game against the hosting Atlanta Falcons. Dowdle has been the RB10 this year in half-PPR scoring with 788 rushing yards and five touchdowns on 149 carries while also adding 18 catches for 142 yards and a score. He's a must-start in fantasy if he's active in Week 11.
UPDATE: Dowdle was officially limited on Thursday.--Keith HernandezSource: The Charlotte Observer - Alex Zietlow

Houston Texans head coach DeMeco Ryans said on Thursday that kicker
Ka'imi Fairbairn (quadriceps) has been ruled out for the Week 11 divisional game on Sunday against the Tennessee Titans, according to Jonathan M. Alexander of the Houston Chronicle. Fairbairn injured his quad in the Week 9 loss to the Denver Broncos and will now miss a second straight game. The Texans have a quick turnaround next week with a game on Thursday night against the Buffalo Bills, so it's possible the 31-year-old veteran won't be ready for that one, either.
Matthew Wright filled in for Fairbairn in the Week 10 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars and made his only field-goal attempt and his only extra-point try in the 36-29 victory. The 29-year-old should be in store for a better day in a cushy matchup against the Titans this weekend, but at best, he's a deep-league streaming option at the kicking position in fantasy.

Houston Texans quarterback
C.J. Stroud (concussion) has officially been ruled out for the team's Week 11 matchup with the Tennessee Titans. Stroud suffered the injury when sliding in a Week 9 matchup with the Denver Broncos.
Davis Mills will once again lead the offense as they face off with a Titans team they defeated 26-0 earlier this season. Mills leaned heavily on
Nico Collins and
Dalton Schultz (shoulder) last week, but Schultz could be in danger of missing this weekend's game, as he has yet to practice this week. Another name to watch in Week 11 is rookie
Jayden Higgins, who hauled in five receptions for 42 yards and a touchdown last week.

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver
Drake London (illness) returned to practice Thursday after missing Wednesday's session due to illness. London is in the middle of another big season as the Falcons' top receiving target. London's 53 receptions for 691 yards and six touchdowns lead the team, and highlight an offense built around explosive playmakers at each position. The Falcons face off against the Carolina Panthers in Week 11. In their last meeting, the defense held London to just five catches for 55 yards in one of his toughest matchups of the season. Look for quarterback Michael Penix to target him early and keep him involved this week.
UPDATE: London was limited in Thursday's practice.--Shaun AlbinSource: D. Orlando Ledbetter

Kansas City Chiefs running back
Isiah Pacheco (knee) was not seen at practice during the media portion of the session on Thursday. With the team facing the first-place Denver Broncos, the Chiefs may be forced to rely on 30-year-old back
Kareem Hunt to carry the load if Pacheco remains unavailable. Hunt has flashed his talent this season with 82 touches for 357 yards and a team-high six touchdowns. Hunt is a popular add for fantasy teams heading into Week 11, and should be considered a must start if Pacheco sits.

November 13, 2025
Houston Texans quarterback
Davis Mills is likely to start again as
C.J. Stroud (concussion) remains out of practice in concussion protocol. Mills was dynamic in the win over the Jaguars last week, completing 60% of his passes for 292 yards, two touchdowns and an interception. Mills leaned heavily on
Nico Collins (15 targets) and
Dalton Schultz (11 targets) in the passing game. Head coach DeMeco Ryans clearly trusts Mills to make plays, which has been rewarded early. For teams in need of bye week help, Mills is an excellent option on the waiver wire heading into Week 11.

November 13, 2025
Baltimore Ravens wide receiver
Rashod Bateman (ankle) failed to practice on Thursday, putting his availability in doubt when the team faces the Cleveland Browns on Sunday. Bateman has appeared in every game for the Ravens this season, logging 16 receptions for 194 yards and two touchdowns. With
Zay Flowers and
Mark Andrews leading the team, Bateman has taken a backseat this season. The 25-year-old has recorded just two games of over 50 receiving yards, making him a shaky start even when healthy. Bateman's absence could leave even more opportunities for the team's top receiving options, and could give
DeAndre Hopkins an increased snap share as well.

Buffalo Bills tight end
Dalton Kincaid (hamstring) remains absent from practice heading into a difficult Week 11 matchup with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Kincaid has been quarterback
Josh Allen's primary weapon when healthy, but the team is at risk of being without their tight end for the second time this season. Dalton Knox remains an option for tight-end-needy teams heading into the weekend. With Kincaid continuing to trend in the wrong direction, Knox should be rostered in all formats heading into a likely high-scoring matchup.
