J.J. McCarthy Off the Injury Report, Good to Go for Week 11
Minnesota Vikings quarterback J.J. McCarthy (right hand) is off the injury report and "good to go" for his team's Week 11 matchup against the Chicago Bears, per Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. McCarthy has been battling swelling in his throwing hand after hitting it on a helmet during Minnesota's Week 10 loss to the Baltimore Ravens, but it appears it won't prevent him from suiting up against Chicago. Across four starts this season, the 22-year-old has completed 53.7% of his pass attempts for 692 yards, five touchdowns, and six interceptions. He's been more productive with his legs, rushing for 110 yards and two touchdowns on 21 attempts. McCarthy profiles as a solid fantasy starter in two-quarterback formats, but should likely be avoided in single-QB leagues against Chicago in Week 11.

DJ Moore Without Injury Designation, Will Play in Week 11
Chicago Bears wide receiver DJ Moore (shoulder) will not carry an injury designation and will play in his team's Week 11 matchup against the Minnesota Vikings, according to Sean Hammond of the Chicago Tribune. Moore has been limited in practice this week due to the injury, but it appears it will not keep him from suiting up in a crucial divisional contest. Moore has not missed a game since the 2020 season. The 30-year-old has hauled in 30 catches for 403 yards and a touchdown on 48 targets across nine games this season. However, he's coming off a four-target, zero-catch game in Week 10 against the New York Giants. It's possible that the shoulder injury could keep Moore from playing his usual allotment of snaps and could open up some additional opportunities for Bears rookie wideout Luther Burden III. Moore profiles as a low-end WR3/high-end WR4 for fantasy managers in Week 11 against Minnesota.

Trey Hendrickson, Shemar Stewart Both Out for Week 11
The Cincinnati Bengals will be without defensive ends Trey Hendrickson (hip, pelvis) and Shemar Stewart (knee) in Week 11 against the Pittsburgh Steelers, per ESPN's Ben Baby. Hendrickson last played in Week 7, so this will mark his fourth straight game on the shelf. The 30-year-old recorded four sacks and eight QB hits before getting injured and might be the only true impact player on the struggling Cincinnati defense. Stewart has had an injury-marred rookie campaign, as he's appeared in just five games in 2025. The 22-year-old is still looking for his first NFL sack. Both Hendrickson and Stewart are considered week-to-week, so they could be back for Cincinnati's Week 12 matchup against the New England Patriots. Without them in the lineup, the Bengals will rely on Joseph Ossai and Myles Murphy to lead their pass rush against Pittsburgh.

Jaxson Dart Officially Ruled Out for Week 11 Due to Concussion
New York Giants rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart (concussion) has officially been ruled out for his team's Week 11 matchup against the Green Bay Packers, per Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. Dart suffered a concussion that forced him to exit early from his team's Week 10 loss to the Chicago Bears and has spent this week in the league's concussion protocol. However, Giants interim head coach Mike Kafka recently said that Dart is progressing well, so he may be on track to return in Week 12 against the Detroit Lions. With Dart sidelined against Green Bay, quarterback Jameis Winston will make his first start of the season for New York. In 12 games (seven starts) for the Cleveland Browns in 2024, Winston threw for 2,121 yards, 13 touchdowns, and 12 interceptions. The veteran gunslinger profiles as a low-end fantasy QB2 in Week 11 against the Packers.

Tank Bigsby an Injury Replacement Only
Philadelphia running back Tank Bigsby took his first offensive snaps with the Eagles in Week 7 and followed that up by turning nine carries into 104 yards in a Week 8 win over the Giants that saw starter Saquon Barkley exit early with a groin injury. With the Eagles on a Week 9 bye, Barkley's health remained in question heading into Week 10, making Bigsby a popular waiver add over those two weeks. In Week 10's win over the Packers, Barkley outsnapped Bigsby 44 to eight and saw 25 total opportunities to Bigsby's 3, proving once again that when healthy, the Eagles' backfield belongs to Barkley. Bigsby is still worthy of a roster spot as the apparent next man up behind Barkley, but heading into a Week 11 matchup with the Lions, he has no standalone value.

Darius Slayton Ruled Out for Sunday
New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton (hamstring) is one of three Giants players to have already been ruled out for Sunday's Week 11 matchup with the Packers, along with quarterback Jaxson Dart (concussion). With Mike Kafka serving as interim head coach following the Monday firing of Brian Daboll, the team has already announced plans to start journeyman quarterback Jameis Winston, but who he will be throwing to is now another question entirely. Receiver Wan'Dale Robinson and tight end Theo Johnson suddenly become very interesting plays for fantasy managers willing to roll the dice and shoot for upside. Even against a Packers' pass defense that has been suffocating at times, Winston's propensity to hyper-target his top pass catchers and willingness to throw into windows that most quarterbacks would not, is a recipe for fantasy fireworks.

Davante Adams Questionable for Sunday but Expected to Play
Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Davante Adams (oblique) will be questionable for Week 11's divisional clash with the Seahawks. Head coach Sean McVay told reporters on Friday that his veteran star has progressed well throughout the week, and the team expects to have him available on Sunday. Both the Rams and Seahawks come into Sunday's game with matching 7-2 records, tied not only at the top of the NFC West but also in a three-way tie with the Eagles for the best record in the conference. Adams has been a major piece of a Rams' offense that sees quarterback Matthew Stafford firmly entrenched in MVP conversations. He has become the team's primary weapon near the goal line, bringing in six touchdown grabs over his last three games. Should he miss Sunday's game, running back Kyren Williams becomes even more likely to keep his own touchdown streak alive, having also found paydirt three times in his last two outings.

Drake London Questionable vs Panthers
Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London (illness, back) is questionable for Sunday's divisional matchup with the Panthers after missing Wednesday's practice with an illness and then returning as a limited participant on Thursday with an additional back ailment. London has been on a tear of late, topping 100 yards in each of his last two games while finding the endzone four times over that span. Should he miss Sunday's game, receiver Darnell Mooney and tight end Kyle Pitts are the most likely candidates to see an uptick in targets. However, neither has demonstrated a strong connection with second-year quarterback Michael Penix Jr. to this point. The Falcons play in Sunday's early window of games, giving fantasy managers a chance to at least monitor London's gameday status and pivot if necessary.

Ladd McConkey Cleared to Play in Week 11
Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Ladd McConkey (ankle) was a full participant at Friday's practice and carries no injury designation into the team's Week 11 matchup with the Jaguars. McConkey is coming off one of his best games of the season after converting six targets into four catches for 107 yards and a touchdown in a Week 10 win over the Steelers. While he got off to a slow start, and the Chargers' offense has seemed to lean on a different pass catcher every few weeks, McConkey has played his way back into must-start status over the past month-plus. He has finished as the WR5 or better in half-PPR formats in three of the last five weeks, while boasting five touchdown grabs in his last six games. The Jaguars have been a middle-of-the-pack defense to target for fantasy wide receivers, and McConkey is RotoBaller's WR13 for the week.

Aaron Glenn Non-Committal on Possible QB Change Going into Week 12
New York Jets head coach Aaron Glenn continued his non-committal approach on Friday when asked by reporters if he's considering a change at quarterback after the team's Week 11 loss to the New England Patriots on Thursday Night Football, according to Rich Cimini of ESPN. "I'm evaluating everything," Glenn said. The head coach said he's not looking for a "short-term spark," and his decision will be based on "what gives them the best chance to win." Justin Fields started hot on Thursday and had a decent day for fantasy managers thanks to his 67 rushing yards and touchdown on the ground, but he threw for only 116 yards, lost a fumble, and left a lot to be desired in a 27-14 loss. The 26-year-old has finished under 100 yards passing in four games this year, including under 50 yards passing three times. He hasn't had much help in the passing attack, but it's looking more likely that veteran Tyrod Taylor might get the start in Week 12 against the Baltimore Ravens.

Jets Expect Garrett Wilson to Play Again This Season
New York Jets head coach Aaron Glenn said on Friday that he expects wide receiver Garrett Wilson (knee) to play again this year, but Glenn also added that it's up to the doctors, according to Antwan V. Staley of the New York Daily News. Wilson missed several games with a knee injury before returning in the Week 10 win over the Cleveland Browns, only to aggravate his knee. The Jets placed the 25-year-old on Injured Reserve this week, so he'll be forced to miss at least the next three games following the team's Thursday night loss to the New England Patriots. He won't be eligible to play before Sunday, Dec. 14, against the Jaguars. With Wilson out for the foreseeable future, John Metchie III and Adonai Mitchell figure to be featured as the team's top pass-catchers in what has been the worst passing offense in football this year. Fantasy managers stashing Wilson need to know that there's a chance he won't contribute again in 2025.

Lamar Jackson Ready to Roll for Sunday
Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said on Friday that quarterback Lamar Jackson (knee) is a full-go for Sunday's contest against the division-rival Cleveland Browns in Week 11. There was some concern over Jackson's status after he did not practice on Wednesday, but he was only dealing with a sore knee and returned to a full practice the following day. The 28-year-old two-time MVP missed some time earlier this year with a hamstring strain, but this weekend will be his third game back in action. The four-time Pro Bowler currently leads the NFL in touchdown percentage (10.2), adjusted yards gained per pass attempt (10.23), and passer rating (127.1) while throwing for 1,249 yards, 15 touchdowns, and only one interception in six starts. Despite facing a decent Browns defense, Jackson is a no-doubt, must-start at the QB position in fantasy.

Oronde Gadsden Cleared to Play in Week 11
Los Angeles Chargers rookie tight end Oronde Gadsen (knee) is not on the team's final injury report on Friday and has been cleared to play in Week 11 against the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday, according to the team. Gadsden bruised his knee in Sunday night's victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers and never returned, but he ended up avoiding a serious issue and will be available this weekend when the team heads to the East Coast to face the Jags. The 22-year-old should continue to have a key role in L.A.'s passing attack, and he could see even more targets head his way if receiver Quentin Johnston (shin) is limited or out on Sunday. Gadsden has burst onto the scene quickly in his first year in the NFL and is currently the TE12 in half-PPR scoring with 35 catches, 466 receiving yards, and two touchdowns in his first eight NFL games.

Quentin Johnston Questionable to Play Against Jaguars
The Los Angeles Chargers have listed wide receiver Quentin Johnston (shin) as questionable to play in Week 11 against the hosting Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday. Johnston has been limited in practice this week after apparently picking up a shin injury in Sunday night's win over the Pittsburgh Steelers. We'd be surprised if the 24-year-old former first-rounder is unable to play this weekend, but fantasy managers will want to check back on Sunday morning to confirm it. The good news is the Chargers play in the early window at Jacksonville in Week 11. Although most of Johnston's damage in 2025 came early on, he did have double-digit targets in Week 10 for the second time this year, and he's scored six touchdowns already. If he's active, Johnston still has plenty of boom potential for fantasy managers as a WR3/flex.

Jaxson Dart "on Track" in the Concussion Protocol
New York Giants head coach Mike Kafka said on Friday that he thinks rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart (concussion) is "on track" with where he's supposed to be in the league's concussion protocol, according to Jordan Raanan of ESPN. Dart was seen warming up with the team on the field in practice on Friday, which is a good sign that he might be cleared to play in Week 12 versus the Detroit Lions. However, he will not be available to play this Sunday against the Green Bay Packers. Veteran QB Jameis Winston, not Russell Wilson, will make the start in Week 11, and he's expected to be without receiver Darius Slayton (hamstring). Fantasy managers will be hoping that Dart will end up missing just one game. The rookie first-rounder has immediately become fantasy relevant as a QB1 because of his dual-threat abilities at the position.
