The New England Patriots have placed defensive tackle Milton Williams (ankle) on injured reserve after he suffered a high-ankle sprain early in Thursday night's win over the New York Jets. Williams, who signed a four-year, $104 million contract in the offseason, has been one of the driving forces behind New England's dramatic improvement against the run. Williams was a key part of the Philadelphia Eagles' run defense in 2024 when they ranked as the best defense against running backs. With Williams sidelined until at least Week 16, the team will need defensive ends Joshua Farmer and Cory Durden to step up in Williams' absence.

The New York Giants have signed kicker
Younghoe Koo to the active roster ahead of Week 11's matchup against the Green Bay Packers. With
Graham Gano (neck) on the injured reserve, Koo will likely serve the kicking duties for the remainder of the season. Koo made both field goal and extra point attempts in Week 10, even in the cold and windy conditions in Chicago. The Giants face the Green Bay Packers in Week 11, who have been an elite defense in 2025. With
Jaxson Dart (concussion) out, and
Jameis Winston under center, field goal opportunities could be rare in this one.

Las Vegas Raiders rookie wide receiver
Dont'e Thornton Jr. is trying to take advantage of expanded opportunities in Week 11. Thornton only caught one pass for four yards in their Week 11 loss to the Denver Broncos, but played 60% of the snaps, which ranked second on the team. With the Dallas Cowboys on the slate in Week 11, Thornton could offer big-play upside in deeper leagues and DFS formats. The Cowboys have allowed the most half-PPR fantasy points to wide receivers this season, so this could be a big week for the rookie receiver. In what should be a high-scoring affair in Week 11, look for Thornton to make an impact in Week 11.

The Buffalo Bills activated wide receivers
Mecole Hardman and
Gabriel Davis to the active roster this week. Hardman, who was recently signed, brings game-breaking speed as a receiving and return specialist, while Davis offers size and experience in the offense.
Khalil Shakir remains the team's No. 1 receiver but currently ranks 41st in the NFL in receiving yards. With no injury designations in the Bills' wide receiver room, the latest roster moves suggest that at least one receiver is likely to be a healthy scratch against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. While neither Hardman nor Davis carries much fantasy value this week, both should have opportunities to add a spark to an underwhelming receiving room.

Detroit Lions tight end
Sam LaPorta (back) was placed on Injured Reserve ahead of the Week 11 Sunday night game against the Philadelphia Eagles. LaPorta did not practice this week and was ruled out before their primetime game against the Eagles. Through nine games, LaPorta has hauled in 40 of 49 targets for 489 yards and three touchdowns, ranking as the TE8 in PPR formats. LaPorta's absence should upgrade the other weapons across the board, especially
Jameson Williams and tight end
Brock Wright, who is questionable to play this weekend with an ankle injury. The next chance that LaPorta has to return is in Week 15, when they head to Los Angeles to take on the Rams.

The Houston Texans have activated tight end
Cade Stover (foot) from Injured Reserve heading into their Week 11 matchup against the Tennessee Titans. The team placed tight end
Harrison Bryant (neck/shoulder) on Injured Reserve in a corresponding roster move. Stover has been sidelined since suffering a broken foot in Week 1. Across 15 games as a rookie in 2024, Stover recorded 15 catches for 133 yards and a touchdown on 22 targets. While Stover is unlikely to play a fantasy-relevant role himself, his return could threaten the playing time of Texans tight end
Dalton Schultz. Schultz has emerged as a consistent feature in the Houston passing game in recent weeks, recording 24 catches for 252 yards and a touchdown on 32 targets over his last four games. Fantasy managers should monitor the playing time split between Schultz and Stover in Week 11.

Through the first nine games of his NFL career, Seattle Seahawks rookie tight end
Elijah Arroyo has recorded 14 catches for 174 yards and a touchdown on 20 targets. While Arroyo has flashed upside, his production ceiling is limited as he splits snaps with fellow Seahawks tight end
AJ Barner. The Seahawks have a difficult matchup in Week 11 against the Los Angeles Rams. Through 10 weeks, the Rams defense is allowing the seventh-fewest (6.6) yards per pass attempt in the NFL. Arroyo has not recorded more than five targets or four catches in any game this season, and he appears unlikely to surpass those marks against Los Angeles. Fantasy managers should avoid starting Arroyo in Week 11 against the Rams.

Denver Broncos running back
J.K. Dobbins (foot) has a "significant" foot injury that will require season-ending surgery, according to Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. Dobbins suffered the injury in Week 10 and had already been ruled out for Denver's Week 11 matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs, but he will now be placed on Injured Reserve. It's an unfortunate development for the oft-injured 26-year-old, who was having a solid season in his first year in Denver. Through 10 games, Dobbins had recorded 772 rushing yards and four touchdowns on 153 carries. With Dobbins sidelined, Broncos rookie running back
RJ Harvey profiles as the team's RB1 for Week 11 and beyond. Fellow backs
Tyler Badie and
Jaleel McLaughlin could also factor in Denver, but neither profiles as a true threat to surpass Harvey.
UPDATE: One source said Dobbins "will be ready in February if the Broncos make the Super Bowl."--Will BradySource: NFL Network - Ian Rapoport, Tom Pelissero

The Buffalo Bills defense had a rough game in Week 10, allowing 30 points in a loss to the Miami Dolphins. Buffalo now faces a more difficult matchup on paper in Week 11 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. On the bright side, the Bills will get top outside cornerback Christian Benford (groin) back from the groin injury that sidelined him in Week 10. Additionally, there are a few reasons to believe that Buffalo matches up well with Tampa Bay. The Bills' main weakness on defense has been defending the run, which is an area where the Buccaneers struggle. Through 10 weeks, Tampa Bay has recorded the sixth-fewest rushing yards (898) in the NFL. Additionally, the Buccaneers will remain without their star running back
Bucky Irving (foot, shoulder) in Week 11. Still, Tampa Bay's offense remains capable of putting up points in a game that could turn into a shootout. Ultimately, Buffalo's D/ST profiles as a low-end starting unit at best for fantasy managers in Week 11.

Chicago Bears cornerback Jaylon Johnson (groin) has been downgraded to out for his team's Week 11 matchup against the Minnesota Vikings. The star corner has been on Injured Reserve since Week 2 due to a groin injury. Chicago has opened Johnson's activation window, and he was able to log a limited practice on Friday, but he'll have to wait at least one more week before returning to the field. Across 17 games in 2024, Johnson recorded 42 solo tackles and two interceptions and was named to his second Pro Bowl. Without Johnson, Tyrique Stevenson and Nahshon Wright will likely see the majority of the team's cornerback snaps in Week 11. Johnson's next chance to make his return to the lineup will be in Week 12 against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver
Jermaine Burton (illness) will not play in his team's Week 11 matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers due to illness, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Burton has not appeared in a game for Cincinnati yet this season. The former third-round pick flashed upside at times during his rookie season in 2024, but he is buried on the Bengals' wide receiver depth chart. Cincinnati wideouts
Ja'Marr Chase,
Tee Higgins, and
Andrei Iosivas should remain the top options for quarterback
Joe Flacco in Week 11 against Pittsburgh.

Through the first nine games of his NFL career, Denver Broncos rookie wide receiver
Pat Bryant has recorded 10 catches for 149 yards and a touchdown on 19 targets. With Broncos wide receiver
Marvin Mims Jr. (concussion) sidelined by a concussion, Bryant has stepped into the WR3 role in Denver over the past two weeks. However, Mims Jr. logged three full practices this week and does not carry an injury designation into the team's Week 11 matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs. Bryant should still see some snaps against Kansas City, but the return of Mims Jr. limits his breakout potential. The Chiefs are also a difficult matchup, as they have allowed the fifth-fewest passing yards (1,763) in the NFL so far this season. Bryant should remain off the radar of fantasy managers in Week 11.

The Atlanta Falcons defense/special teams has an enticing matchup against the Carolina Panthers in Week 11, an offense that has yielded the seventh-most fantasy points to opposing defenses so far this season. Despite allowing 31 points last week, Atlanta tallied one interception and one fumble recovery, along with a whopping seven sacks, now with 13 sacks in the last two games alone. The Falcons are allowing the fourth-most rush yards per game (146.4), but are allowing just 162.3 passing yards per game, which is best in the NFL, and with the Panthers owning one of the lowest expected totals on the board (19) for this matchup, this unit looks like a solid streaming option in Week 11. On the downside, LB Leonard Floyd (hamstring) and CB Dee Alford (concussion) have both been ruled out, while LB Zach Harrison (knee) is also trending toward not playing, so expectations should be tempered somewhat.

Green Bay Packers kicker
Brandon McManus (right quad) has been added to the injury report and listed as doubtful to play in his team's Week 11 matchup against the New York Giants. McManus has been playing through the quad injury for a few weeks, but it appears he may have taken a turn for the worse heading into Week 11. If he is unable to go on Sunday, backup kicker
Lucas Havrisik appears likely to take over kicking duties for Green Bay. The Packers have been one of the rare teams to carry two kickers on their 53-man roster with McManus playing through injury. Havrisik has appeared in two games this season and converted on all four of his field goal attempts.

Detroit Lions wide receiver
Isaac TeSlaa (oblique) has recorded just four catches for 65 yards and two touchdowns on seven targets across the first nine games of his career. The rookie wideout was a late addition to the injury report on Saturday due to an oblique issue and is now listed as questionable to play in Week 11 against the Philadelphia Eagles. In Lions head coach Dan Campbell's first game as the team's play-caller in Week 10, TeSlaa broke a three-game catch-less streak and played 20 offensive snaps, his most in a game since Week 6. The Lions have a difficult matchup in Week 11 against the Philadelphia. Still, if active, TeSlaa could have more opportunities in the passing game due to the absence of Detroit tight end
Sam LaPorta (back). TeSlaa is ultimately difficult to trust as a fantasy starter in Week 11, but he could be a name to monitor in deep leagues if LaPorta's injury keeps him out long term.
