Amare Thomas Hopes to Keep Delivering in Week 11
Houston wide receiver Amare Thomas has put together three really solid showings in a row, and now he'll look to make it four straight as he takes on Colorado in Week 11. He had 126 yards and two scores over seven receptions against Oklahoma State in Week 7. Thomas then had 133 yards over five receptions against Utah in Week 8, then posted 78 yards and two touchdowns on six grabs against Cincinnati in Week 10. Thomas is up to 698 yards and eight touchdowns across 47 receptions in his nine games played so far. The Buffaloes' defense allows 376.9 total yards and 28.3 points per game on the season, so the matchup is also pretty solid for Thomas, who is a quality starting option for any fantasy league.

Domantas Sabonis Available For Tuesday
Sacramento Kings forward/center Domantas Sabonis (knee) has been upgraded to available for Tuesday's matchup against the Orlando Magic. Sabonis will return after missing Sunday's loss to Miami due to left knee soreness. The 30-year-old is averaging 15.3 points, 14.6 rebounds, and 6.0 assists through nine games. Precious Achiuwa grabbed 14 rebounds in 36 minutes Sunday, while Dylan Cardwell started at center. Both could see reduced roles with Sabonis back in action.

Falcons Considered an Extension for Jessie Bates III Before Trade
The Atlanta Falcons did background work on a potential contract extension for defensive back Jessie Bates III and pondered how it may fit into a rough outline of 2027 free-agent plans, according to Daniel Flick of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. However, the Falcons felt that the Jacksonville Jaguars' offer made them better in the long run. Atlanta ended up sending Bates to the Jaguars on Monday for a second-rounder in 2027 and a fifth-rounder in 2028, which is a quality return for a 29-year-old safety who was on an expiring deal. Bates will be a nice addition for Jacksonville, which recently lost defensive back Eric Murray to a season-ending elbow injury. Bates, a former second-rounder by the Cincinnati Bengals in 2018 from Wake Forest, heads to Duval after recording 60 tackles (35 solo), one interception, four pass breakups, three forced fumbles, and a fumble recovery returned for a touchdown in nine games in 2026 in his fourth year with the Falcons.

DeSean Bishop Remains Quality Fantasy Starting Option for Week 11
Tennessee running back DeSean Bishop has put together a big season so far and will look to keep things rolling in Week 11 against Texas A&M. The Aggies allow 18.7 points and 320 total yards per game, but 129.9 of the yards are on the ground, so Bishop is actually set up pretty well. Bishop already has 1,066 rushing yards and 13 touchdowns over 196 attempts, plus has caught nine passes for 64 more yards. The RB has 19 or more carries in five straight games, and he's racked up nine touchdowns over that stretch. Bishop has 109 or more yards in five straight games, so he's a really good starting option every week. Fantasy owners should keep trusting him to get the job done in Week 11.

Chiefs Acquire Josh Downs in Deadline Trade
Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Josh Downs is set to join the Kansas City Chiefs in a deadline trade, according to Tom Pelissero. Indianapolis would send a 2027 seventh-round pick with Downs and receive fourth- and fifth-round picks in the same draft. Downs requested a trade in October and caught 33 passes for 354 yards and a touchdown in nine games this season. His season-high seven catches came against Kansas City in Week 2, when he finished with 72 yards. Downs has primarily played in the slot, and Kansas City has been rotating its third receiver behind Rashee Rice and Xavier Worthy. Andrew Armstrong, Jalen Royals and Cyrus Allen played between 19 and 22 offensive snaps apiece in Sunday's win over the Jets. They drew three targets combined, while Rice and Worthy drew 13. Downs saw 23 targets in his last four games with the Colts. In deeper PPR leagues, he's worth stashing until his first games in Kansas City show whether he can earn regular routes alongside Rice and Worthy in three-receiver sets.

D.J. Lagway a Solid Starting Option Despite Tough Week 11 Matchup
Baylor quarterback D.J. Lagway has played pretty well of late, but now will face a stiff test in Week 11 against BYU. The Cougars are allowing just 302.2 total yards and 19.8 points per game so far this season, so they will challenge Lagway. The quarterback has 1,900 passing yards and 15 touchdowns across seven games played this season. He's completed 53.7% of his passes and has four interceptions. Lagway is a dual-threat QB, tallying 161 yards and two scores over 50 attempts. He has six touchdown passes over his past two games combined, plus rushed for 119 yards and a score in Week 10, which shows off some of his fantasy appeal. His fantasy upside offsets his tougher matchup a bit and gives him starting appeal in all leagues.

Zion Williamson Set to Suit Up on Tuesday
New Orleans Pelicans forward Zion Williamson (rest) is available for Tuesday's game against the Brooklyn Nets after resting during Monday's 138-87 loss to Golden State. The 26-year-old has missed just one game this season, averaging 21.0 points, 5.3 rebounds, 2.7 assists, and 2.2 steals in 33.0 minutes through 10 appearances. With Williamson returning, Herbert Jones will likely see fewer minutes.

Terrance Carter Jr. a Solid Week 11 Starting Option
Texas Tech tight end Terrance Carter Jr. is a pretty solid fantasy starting option for his Week 11 contest against Oklahoma State. Carter has 274 receiving yards and four touchdowns across 24 receptions in his seven games played so far. He also has three rushing yards and a score on three attempts. Carter has three or more receptions in three straight contests, and he's scored three touchdowns over the past two games. He's coming off a season-high 81 yards against West Virginia in Week 10, so he's on the rise. Oklahoma State allows 384 total yards and 27.2 points per game on the season, so the matchup is pretty solid for the tight end as well. Carter remains a starting option in all leagues, but a more confident option in deeper setups.

Jauan Jennings Hopeful to Play in Week 10
Agent Drew Rosenhaus said on The Pat McAfee Show that Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jauan Jennings (calf) is dealing with a calf strain but is hopeful to return in Week 10 against the division-rival Green Bay Packers. Rosenhaus added that Jennings seems very happy in Minnesota and that it is his belief that he will stay with the Vikings beyond Tuesday's NFL trade deadline. Jennings reportedly turned down a potential trade that was being worked out for the 49ers to reacquire him. Instead, the Niners pivoted and acquired veteran pass-catcher Keenan Allen from the Indianapolis Colts on Tuesday. The 29-year-old has been a non-factor in the Vikings' offense through his six games played so far in 2026, catching only six passes for 54 yards and no touchdowns. However, the addition of veteran quarterback Kirk Cousins should be good news for Jennings, Justin Jefferson, and Jordan Addison in the second half of the season. Target volume is still going to be an issue when Jennings returns in Minnesota, though, and he will probably continue to be a hard-to-trust WR4/5 in fantasy.

Yamir Knight Looks to Keep Delivering in Tougher Week 11 Test
SMU wide receiver Yamir Knight has delivered big over the past two weeks, but he heads into a tougher Week 11 matchup against Wake Forest. The Demon Deacons are allowing 310 total yards and 15.9 points per game this season, so this will be a bit of a stiffer challenge for Knight. The wide receiver went for 103 yards and three touchdowns across six receptions in Week 10 against Virginia Tech - he also had two rushes for 11 yards in that contest. Knight had 80 yards and a score across six grabs in Week 9 against Syracuse, so he's a receiver on the rise. He has 626 receiving yards and six scores on 50 receptions overall this season, plus has rushed for four yards on three attempts. Knight is a pretty solid fantasy starting option, but expectations need to be tempered a bit going into a tougher test.

Panthers Release Wide Receiver David Moore
Carolina Panthers wide receiver David Moore was released Tuesday after appearing in six games this season. His only catch was a 27-yard gain against Philadelphia in Week 6. Moore played 13 offensive snaps against Tampa Bay the following week, but his only snap in Sunday's loss to Denver came on a 17-yard punt return, his longest of the season. Tetairoa McMillan and Jalen Coker each played at least 80% of Carolina's offensive snaps against the Broncos, with Brycen Tremayne getting 21 snaps and John Metchie III getting 19. Carolina signed Moore from the practice squad on Sept. 30 and listed him as its lead punt and kickoff returner in October. Anthony Tyus III handled all four of Carolina's kickoff returns against Denver for 110 yards and leads the team with 18 kickoff returns for 451 yards. Trevor Etienne gained nine yards on Carolina's other punt return Sunday. The Panthers have been looking to expand his role on special teams, and Etienne already leads the team with seven punt returns to Moore's four.

Jordan Goodwin Back in Action on Tuesday
Phoenix Suns guard Jordan Goodwin (calf) is available to play in Tuesday's matchup against the Los Angeles Clippers. Goodwin is set to return after missing four consecutive contests due to right calf soreness. The 28-year-old is averaging 7.8 points, 3.4 rebounds, and 2.6 assists across 18.6 minutes per contest in five appearances. Collin Gillespie could see his role reduced with Goodwin back in the mix.

Micah Ford Offers Big Upside in Week 11 Matchup
Stanford running back Micah Ford is primed for a big showing in the team's Week 11 matchup against Virginia Tech. The Hokies are allowing 23.9 points and 340 total yards per game, and 107.3 of those yards are coming on the ground. Ford is a good fantasy option on his own, with 751 rushing yards and eight touchdowns over 156 attempts across his nine games played thus far. He's also caught 26 passes for an additional 224 yards and a score. Ford has at least 19 carries in three straight appearances, and has at least three catches in all those contests. On a big workload alone, he's a good fantasy option, and factoring in a solid matchup too, Ford should be starting in most leagues for Week 11.

Colts Expect Josh Downs to Bounce Back
Indianapolis Colts offensive coordinator Jim Bob Cooter expects wide receiver Josh Downs to bounce back this year, according to James Boyd of The Athletic. "He's had good energy around here. He's getting ready for each game the right way. You're gonna have some peaks and valleys in the career. The story's not written yet on Josh Downs' season. I anticipate him bouncing back," Cooter said. Downs was a popular breakout candidate during the preseason after the Colts traded Michael Pittman Jr. to the Pittsburgh Steelers in the offseason, but the 25-year-old has not lived up to expectations with a bigger role, and he has been an even bigger disappointment considering that Alec Pierce (heel) has missed most of the year due to injury. In nine games played, Downs has 33 receptions for 354 yards (10.7 yards per catch) and just one touchdown. In a great matchup against the Dallas Cowboys in Week 9, Downs fell flat, catching three of his six targets for 24 yards. The Colts traded Keenan Allen to the San Francisco 49ers on Tuesday, so Downs will have an even higher target share going forward, although he will also see more attention from opposing defenses in the second half of the year.

LaNorris Sellers a Strong Week 11 Option Heading into Favorable Matchup
South Carolina quarterback LaNorris Sellers has a strong fantasy outlook for his Week 11 matchup against Arkansas. The Razorbacks are allowing 361.8 total yards and 27.4 points per game, so Sellers is set up pretty well. He's had a big season so far, throwing for 2,100 yards and 17 touchdowns, while completing 62.8% of his passes over nine games. Sellers has seven interceptions as well, while rushing for 637 yards and seven scores over 104 attempts. He had two total touchdowns and just under 300 total yards in Week 10 against Texas A&M. Sellers has at least 210 passing yards in five straight games, while throwing 11 touchdowns to three interceptions over that span. With steady work on the ground too, he's been a quality fantasy starting option, and that remains for Week 11 going into his favorable matchup, so he can be started in a lot of leagues.
