Dyami Brown Becomes More Interesting as Waiver Addition
Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Dyami Brown cleared the league's concussion protocol and was given the green light to play in the Week 10 loss to the Houston Texans. Brown had an opportunity for more involvement in the passing game with rookie first-rounder Travis Hunter (knee) on Injured Reserve and Brian Thomas Jr. (ankle) inactive, but he ended up playing just 37% of the offensive snaps while failing to catch his only target. Newcomer Jakobi Meyers led the Jags with 41 receiving yards on three catches, and Parker Washington scored through the air and on special teams. Brown has only 19 catches on 35 targets for 219 yards and one touchdown in eight games in his first year in Duval, but he makes more sense as a waiver addition in deeper leagues now that Hunter will miss the rest of the season. The 26-year-old will still be a boom/bust dart throw, though, and his short-term fantasy value will depend on whether Thomas misses more time with his ankle injury.

Josh Jacobs is Automatic for the Packers and Fantasy Managers
Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs has been as automatic a fantasy start as it gets this season. Jacobs has scored in every game this season but one and has been a top-10 fantasy running back in five of the last six weeks. Adding to that total in his game with the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 10, Jacobs put up 107 yards from scrimmage with five receptions and a rushing score. While Jacobs hasn't posted a 100-yard rushing game this season and has averaged just 68 rushing yards per game, fantasy managers are still beaming at just how inevitable Jacobs has been when it comes to scoring and his involvement in the Packers' offense. With the offensive game plan flowing through Jacobs and the run game each week, he's been the only thing that's consistently worked this season for Green Bay. Against the New York Giants, who are dead last in the NFL in defensive EPA per carry, Jacobs is a no-brainer RB1 lock for fantasy lineups in Week 11.

Consider Jordan Love Unstartable for Fantasy Football
Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love has had his moments this season with two top-six fantasy finishes in nine games, but mostly, he's been an unstartable fantasy quarterback this season. In his past two games, Love has finished QB24 in both weeks and has combined for just 17.8 fantasy points against the Carolina Panthers and Philadelphia Eagles, with zero touchdown passes and one interception. He's averaged 225 yards passing and is now without Tucker Kraft and lost Romeo Doubs (chest) to what hopes to be a short-term injury during the Packers' 10-7 loss against the Eagles on Monday Night Football. With the Packers' receiving options dropping like flies, it's difficult to justify Love as a fantasy-worthy quarterback in any week moving forward. Even in a plus matchup against the New York Giants in Week 11, leave Love on the waiver wire.

Tyler Badie a Deep-League Consideration With Teammate Injured
Denver Broncos running back Tyler Badie has had a very minimal role in Denver's backfield this year, but he could see more touches in the weeks ahead. Lead back J.K. Dobbins (foot) suffered a foot injury in last Thursday night's win over the Las Vegas Raiders and is now a candidate to land on Injured Reserve, which would knock him out for at least four games. The 25-year-old Badie would most likely become the RB2 for the Broncos behind rookie RJ Harvey if Dobbins misses extended time, and he's currently owned in 0% of Yahoo leagues. The former sixth-round pick by the Baltimore Ravens in 2022 out of Missouri will be more attractive as a depth RB in point-per-reception leagues, as he's already caught a career-high 10 passes for 87 yards in nine games this year. Jaleel McLaughlin, who has been a healthy scratch for most of the season, would bump up to the RB3 role if Dobbins goes on IR.

J.K. Dobbins Could Land on Injured Reserve
The Denver Broncos are considering what to do with injured running back J.K. Dobbins (foot), and placing him on Injured Reserve is a possibility, sources told Chris Tomasson of the Denver Gazette. Dobbins is getting additional medical opinions after injuring his foot late in last Thursday's 10-7 win over the Las Vegas Raiders. Before getting hurt in Week 10, the 26-year-old had 18 rushing attempts for 77 yards while catching his only target for seven yards. Rookie second-rounder RJ Harvey is already rostered in 83% of Yahoo leagues, so he probably isn't available, but Tyler Badie might be worth a look in deeper leagues if Harvey ends up missing extended time. If Dobbins is forced to IR, he'd miss at least four games. In his first year in Denver, Dobbins has operated as the team's lead back with 153 carries for 772 yards (5.0 yards per carry) and four touchdowns in 10 games. However, Harvey has taken on a bigger role in recent weeks.

Travis Hunter Undergoes Season-Ending Knee Surgery
Jacksonville Jaguars rookie star cornerback/wide receiver Travis Hunter (knee) underwent season-ending knee surgery and is now eyeing a return for the 2026 season, sources tell Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. Hunter underwent an LCL repair and is expected to return to full football activities within six months. The Jaguars initially believed Hunter's injury was a short-term one, but it will now end his first year in the NFL prematurely. The 22-year-old Heisman Trophy winner suffered the knee injury in practice last week, coming out of the team's bye. It's terrible timing, as the second overall pick was starting to take on a bigger role on offense, as evidenced by his eight-catch, 101-yard, one-touchdown performance in Week 8. Hunter can be dropped in all single-year fantasy leagues. His season-ending injury makes Parker Washington, who had a receiving and special-teams touchdown last weekend, even more of a waiver-wire priority this week.

Jackson Powers-Johnson Heads to Injured Reserve
Las Vegas Raiders offensive lineman Jackson Powers-Johnson (ankle) will land on Injured Reserve and could potentially miss the rest of the 2025 season, sources told Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. Powers-Johnson suffered the serious injury in last Thursday's loss to the Denver Broncos and will be "out awhile," according to head coach Pete Carroll. Alex Cappa replaced Powers-Johnson at right guard in the Week 10 loss to Denver and will likely continue to hold down the position for the rest of the season. It's bad news for a Raiders offense that has already been struggling mightily in Carroll's first year as the head coach. They come into Week 11 against the Dallas Cowboys averaging just 87.4 rushing yards per game (fourth-fewest) and 15.4 points per game (second-fewest) in the NFL.

CeeDee Lamb Set to Shine in Primetime?
Since returning from a high-ankle sprain that caused him to miss three games, Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb has finished as the WR8, WR20, and WR24 in half-PPR scoring. Coming off a bye week, the Cowboys face the Las Vegas Raiders on Monday night, and Lamb has the potential to be the overall WR1 for the week. As wintery weather begins to affect games across the country, Lamb will be playing indoors in Vegas against a Raiders defense that has allowed 30.7 fantasy points per game to wide receivers. While he hasn't scored a touchdown in either of his last two games, he's seen a team-high three redzone targets in that time, and his overall target share hasn't dipped below 27% since his return. The Cowboys are projected for 27 points, and one of the most likely ways they hit that mark is on the back of a vintage CeeDee Lamb performance.

Michael Penix Jr.'s Completion Woes Continue in Week 10 Loss
Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Penix Jr.'s accuracy went kaput in Germany, completing just 12 of his 28 pass attempts for 177 yards in Sunday's 31-25 overtime loss to the Colts, which included one touchdown pass and no interceptions. However, he also lost a fumble and was sacked three times. The 25-year-old came into the contest with a 60.8 percent completion percentage. But after this performance, it now stands at 58.8 percent. That is the third-lowest in the league, only slightly better than Tennessee's Cam Ward, whose league-low rate stands at 57.6 percent. Although the second-year QB owns a sterling 8:1 TD:INT over his last five games, the left-hander is hard to trust for fantasy with such low completion rates and near-zero value added with his legs. Atlanta has lost four straight, but has winnable matchups coming up (vs. CAR, @ NOR, @NYJ). Kirk Cousins didn't make the case for a quarterback change in his lone start in Week 8 against the Dolphins, but if the Falcons continue this losing streak against those teams, Penix may find himself on the hot seat.

Kevin Stefanski a Name to Watch for Giants Head Coach?
The New York Giants on Monday became the second NFL team to fire their head coach this season when they parted ways with Brian Daboll. With rumors already circulating about the upcoming coaching cycle, one name to watch as a potential replacement is current Cleveland Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski. The Browns are 2-7 and have fallen to 5-21 over the past two seasons, but if they decide to move on from Stefanski, the two-time NFL coach of the year would immediately become one of the most sought-after candidates on the market. Stefanski has been the victim of questionable personnel decisions, but has consistently fielded a competitive team, and the stability that rookie Jaxson Dart has seemingly brought to the Giants' quarterback room would be a welcome change after the past few seasons in Cleveland.

Week 14 a Realistic Return Date for Joe Burrow?
Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow (toe) had his 21-day practice window opened on Monday and has begun working in a limited capacity. Recent reports have suggested that Burrow is targeting the team's Week 13 Thanksgiving matchup with the Ravens as a potential return date; however, NFL Insider Adam Schefter believes a Week 14 return against Buffalo is more realistic. After starting the season with two wins, the Bengals have lost five of the six games he's missed and fallen to 3-6. Fortunately for them, neither the Steelers nor the Ravens have been able to pull away in the division, and the Bengals' next five games all come against teams currently in the AFC playoff picture, making his return timeline all the more critical. While Joe Flacco has been a blessing for the team's fantasy options, his sustainability does not feel guaranteed, and a Burrow-led Bengals offense has been the key to many a deep fantasy playoff run in the past.

George Pickens a WR1 in Week 11?
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver George Pickens comes into Week 11 as the WR5 in half-PPR scoring, largely on the strength of what he was able to accomplish while teammate CeeDee Lamb was sidelined with an ankle injury. In the three games that Lamb missed, Pickens averaged 120 yards per game while scoring four touchdowns and finishing as the weekly WR2, WR19, and WR1. In the three games since Lamb's return, Pickens has failed to find the endzone, and he finished as a top-24 wide receiver only once (WR20 in Week 8). However, he has still seen nine targets in two out of three games while averaging nearly 80 receiving yards per game. In Week 11, as many teams start to face inclement weather, the Cowboys will be playing in a dome against a Las Vegas Raiders team that has been one of the most generous to fantasy receivers. Dallas is coming out of their bye week and has one of the highest implied point totals of the week, giving both Lamb and Pickens a legitimate shot to finish as top-12 receivers.

Ja'Marr Chase Still Leads League in Targets After Bye Week
Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase remains the league-leader in targets following the team's Week 10 bye, building a sizable lead with Joe Flacco at quarterback. Chase has been peppered with targets in Flacco's four starts, recording 44 receptions for 457 yards and two touchdowns on a whopping 62 targets. The 25-year-old has 107 targets on the year, with Chris Olave the next closest at 95. The superstar wideout could also be getting his star QB back soon, with Joe Burrow (toe) having his 21-day practice window opened on Monday. Burrow could be returning soon and pick up where Flacco has left off, as the offense has still thrived in his absence. Chase remains one of the top fantasy options regardless of position every week and will look for another dominant performance in Week 11 against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Elic Ayomanor To See More Targets Out of the Bye Week?
Tennessee Titans wide receiver Elic Ayomanor has had a solid rookie season through nine games, leading the team in receiving with 26 receptions for 323 yards and two touchdowns on 53 targets. Ayomanor has recorded multiple receptions in every game, but has only eclipsed 50 receiving yards twice in a struggling Titans offense. The rookie out of Stanford posted back-to-back games with touchdowns in Weeks 2 and three, scoring a combined 29.4 PPR points. However, in six games since then, Ayomanor has totaled just 37.6 total fantasy points. The rookie wideout could be an intriguing add off the waiver wire for Week 11 as he may see an increase in targets and production after the team's Week 10 bye, while continuing to build a rapport with fellow rookie Cameron Ward, but he's also been outproduced by Chimere Dike in recent weeks.

Luther Burden III Primed For Second Half Breakout?
Chicago Bears rookie wide receiver Luther Burden III has been a playmaker in his limited opportunity this season, catching 16 of his 18 targets for 222 yards and a touchdown to go with two rushes for six yards in eight games this season. Burden is seeing his reps increase as the season progresses and posted season highs in both snaps and routes in Chicago's Week 10 win over the New York Giants. The rookie second-rounder played 57.6% of the snaps, his first game with a snap share above 50%, and ran 46.3% of the team's routes. Head coach Ben Johnson said that Burden will see more targets moving forward as he continues to get more comfortable in the offense. D.J. Moore also left the game against the Giants early with a shoulder injury, but was able to return to the game. If Moore were to miss any time, Burden would certainly be in line for more routes. The rookie out of Missouri had an exciting prospect profile with elite athletic traits and is worth adding off the waiver wire in 12-team leagues to see how his role expands.
