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.

Arizona Cardinals running back
Bam Knight (ankle) was limited in practice all week and is listed as questionable to play on Sunday against the division-rival San Francisco 49ers in Week 11. Knight was once again the team's starting RB in last weekend's blowout loss to the Seattle Seahawks, with
Trey Benson (knee) still on Injured Reserve, but now his status is up in the air. The 24-year-old should be able to suit up, but his ankle injury could open the door for both
Emari Demercado and
Michael Carter to see more backfield touches. Knight had only 33 scrimmage yards on 11 touches before his ankle injury in Week 10, and he hasn't been very efficient since taking over in Arizona. Even when healthy, Knight's RB1 role hasn't been very secure, with Demercado seeing 14 carries in Week 9. If Knight is active, he'll be a pretty wishy-washy RB3/flex with limited upside for fantasy managers.

Seattle Seahawks tight end
AJ Barner (calf) is in a position to receive a few targets against the Los Angeles Rams in Week 11. Additionally, Barner has as good a chance as anyone on the Seahawks, not named
Jaxon Smith-Njigba, to score a touchdown. Barner's volume has not been high this year, but the touchdowns are anchoring him in fantasy football. The Rams are No. 17 against opposing tight ends in fantasy. They are relatively vulnerable to a position that does not have many elite options. Although Barner was on a tear for a while, he is relatively available in a lot of leagues still, given his current cold streak. With players such as Indianapolis Colts tight end
Tyler Warren on a bye, Barner is a potential starting option this week. Given the lack of solid options on the waiver wire, you could do worse than Barner. Just do not expect a world-beating week from the second-year pro. It is worth noting that Barner has been dealing with a calf injury this week, but he turned in three full practices. As such, the injury is not a concern.

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver
Rashid Shaheed could see his involvement increase in Week 11 against the Los Angeles Rams. Seattle will be without wide receiver
Tory Horton (groin/shin) in this game. Horton is Seattle's other deep-play threat who could threaten Shaheed's touches. Shaheed was only on the field for 34% of the Seahawks' offensive snaps in Week 11. Part of that was likely due to the game script removing the need for additional offensive output as Seattle was dominating the Cardinals. Still, Seattle was intentional with trying to get Shaheed the ball. He garnered three targets, including a couple of plays clearly schemed for him. The Rams are near the top of the league in defending all facets of the game. However, all Shaheed needs is one big play to make his fantasy day. Ironically, Shaheed just faced the Rams in Week 9 as a member of the New Orleans Saints. He reeled in five catches for 68 targets for a solid fantasy day. As such, Shaheed could be a solid dart throw if you are in dire straits at the wide receiver position.

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver
Cooper Kupp (hamstring, wrist) looks like he will play on Sunday against the Los Angeles Rams. Kupp was a question mark entering this week, but he did enough during practice to receive the go-ahead.. Unfortunately, Kupp should be overlooked as a fantasy option. The volume simply is not there for the veteran. To make matters worse, the Rams are one of the better defenses in the NFL. This does not project to necessarily be a high-volume passing game between two teams with stellar defenses. Kupp has exceeded three targets on just three occasions this season. With the addition of wide receiver
Rashid Shaheed at the trade deadline, Kupp figures to cede more volume in this offense. Seattle may give Kupp chances to prove to his old team that he still has what it takes in this league, but do not bank on that narrative. You are better off with Kupp on your bench this week.

Washington Commanders quarterback
Marcus Mariota has value as a potential streamer going up against the Miami Dolphins in Madrid, Spain, in Week 11. Mariota was solid on low passing volume in Washington's Week 10 loss to the Lions, completing 16 of 22 passes for 213 yards and two touchdowns while adding five rushes for 22 yards on the ground. The veteran finished as QB12 for the week with 18.7 fantasy points and should be in line for another productive game against a leaky Miami defense. Mariota will be without most of Washington's expected core of wide receivers, including
Terry McLaurin (quadriceps) and
Luke McCaffrey (shoulder), and the recently signed
Treylon Burks (finger) has also been ruled out. The 32-year-old Mariota is a viable streamer in a matchup that could wind up being a shootout with how poor Washington's defense has been lately.

Minnesota Vikings quarterback
J.J. McCarthy is a solid Superflex candidate with his team set to face the Chicago Bears in Week 11. The second-year quarterback led a furious comeback in the Week 1 meeting between the two teams in which he accounted for three total touchdowns in the fourth quarter, and the Chicago defense continues to rank among the bottom of the barrel against fantasy quarterbacks. McCarthy is a work in progress as a passer, but encouragingly for managers, he's developed a nice rushing floor in his limited time with the Vikings. He rushed for a touchdown in two of his four starts and ran for 48 yards on only five carries last week against the Ravens. Certainly, some volatility is to be expected from a first-time starter, but McCarthy is already playable in two-quarterback leagues and could have additional week-to-week value with favorable matchups.

Running back
Aaron Jones Sr. (shoulder/toe) of the Minnesota Vikings does not appear on the Week 11 injury report and should be considered an RB2 option when his team plays host to NFC North rival Chicago on Sunday. Since the veteran returned from a hamstring injury that required a stint on injured reserve, he has clearly been the favored option over backfield mate
Jordan Mason. Jones played more than 70% of the team's offense snaps against Baltimore in Week 10, and he's shown he can help managers even when the offense is struggling. Despite a sloppy overall game last week, Jones still managed 47 rushing yards and a touchdown on nine carries, and three catches for 22 yards. Jones already has a steady role in a decent offense, but there is some added potential this week against a Bears defense that has been middling against fantasy running backs.

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver
Xavier Worthy (ankle) has been removed from the injury report ahead of the Week 11 matchup against the Denver Broncos. Worthy tweaked his ankle during Thursday's practice session. However, Worthy practiced in full on Friday and won't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game. Worthy has taken a backseat in the offense since
Rashee Rice returned in Week 7. He has seen 14 targets over the last two games, hauling in eight passes for 76 yards. Worthy still has enough upside to warrant plugging in as a WR3 for this weekend.

Minnesota Vikings running back
Jordan Mason's evaporating workload in the Vikings' backfield has made the proposition of playing him difficult ahead of a Week 11 clash against the Chicago Bears. In two of the past three weeks, Mason has failed to reach five total carries. During the past two games, in particular,
Aaron Jones Sr. has been the team's top option, commanding nearly three-quarters of the offensive snaps last week against Baltimore. Mason was a quality, if unremarkable, fantasy option when Jones was on injured reserve, but Jones' return has suggested less of a split than managers rostering Mason had hoped. Against a Bears defense squarely in the middle of the pack against fantasy running backs, Mason is a low-end RB4 option who will probably need some goalline work to make starting him worth the investment.

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver
Justin Jefferson is yet again a WR1 when the Vikings play host to the Chicago Bears in Week 11. The superstar has been quieter than normal during the past month as backup quarterback
Carson Wentz and second-year starter
J.J. McCarthy lead the charge for an up-and-down offense, but Jefferson still has been earning a ton of targets. McCarthy has targeted Jefferson 21 times in the past two weeks but only connected on 10, though the pair collaborated for a tide-turning touchdown in the first meeting against Chicago that sparked a fourth-quarter comeback. The Bears rank 24th against PPR receivers, offering a chance for Jefferson to break his cold streak. The Vikings likely will be erratic as they break in a 22-year-old QB, but the matchup and Jefferson's ability should have the superstar locked into lineups in all formats.

Minnesota Vikings running back
Aaron Jones Sr. (shoulder, toe) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Chicago Bears. Jones played through the same issues during last week's contest. He rushed nine times for 47 yards and scored a touchdown in the loss to the Baltimore Ravens. It doesn't appear the AC joint sprain is impacting his performance on the field. He was limited in practice this week until getting in a full session on Friday. Fantasy managers should consider Jones as a low-end RB2 for this upcoming Week 11 contest.

With the Minnesota Vikings struggling for consistency as they break in a young quarterback, wide receiver
Jordan Addison is a fringe starting option in standard formats against the Chicago Bears in Week 11. The third-year man from USC looked to be developing a legitimate chemistry with quarterback
J.J. McCarthy during training camp and the preseason, but that has yet to come to fruition in a regular-season game. Addison drew a whopping 11 targets last week, but caught only three for 35 yards as the Vikings tried and failed to make up a multi-score deficit in the fourth quarter against Baltimore. Since a 128-yard outburst against Philadelphia in Week 7, Addison has 109 receiving yards in the past three games combined. There is potential in the matchup against a Bears secondary that ranks 24th against PPR receivers, but Addison should be viewed as high-risk, high-reward WR3/flex, given the offense's unpredictability.

Coming off a career-best day in Week 10, Minnesota Vikings wide receiver
Jalen Nailor is tough to trust in Week 11 with a fluctuating pass-catching role. The fourth-year pro broke out for 124 yards and a touchdown on only five catches last week against Baltimore, which bested fellow wide receivers
Justin Jefferson and
Jordan Addison. The Vikings consistently praise Nailor, who has a proven history of being a quality run blocker, special teamer, and making big catches when called upon. While first-time starting quarterback
J.J. McCarthy seems to trust Nailor, his receiving workload hasn't been consistent enough to rely upon in most leagues. Nailor had three catches in the three weeks prior to his career day, and even against a lowly ranked Bears defense, he should be saved only for leagues with three-plus flex spots.

After three straight weeks of low volume, Minnesota Vikings tight end
T.J. Hockenson should not be relied upon in standard formats when his team plays host to the Chicago Bears in Week 11. The former Iowa Hawkeye is still playing a commanding number of snaps, but has just six catches in the past three weeks and ranks as the No. 24 overall PPR tight end. Given that he has been a top-five fantasy tight end twice with Minnesota, it's fair to say Hockenson has been among the bigger fantasy disappointments of the season thus far. The Bears rank 20th against PPR tight ends, though second-year quarterback
J.J. McCarthy has consistently favored receiver
Jalen Nailor, not Hockenson, as the team's third option behind receivers
Justin Jefferson and
Jordan Addison. Hockenson should only be considered a TE2 option in formats that play more than one tight end.
