Buffalo Bills tight end
Dalton Kincaid (hamstring) is considered week-to-week with the hamstring injury that he suffered in Sunday's upset loss to the Miami Dolphins, sources told Jordan Schultz of FOX Sports. Kincaid has been one of the team's top targets this year, catching 29 passes for 448 yards and a team-high four touchdowns, so losing him for any amount of time would be bad news for the slumping Bills. Before getting hurt in Week 10, the 26-year-old caught two of his three targets for 37 yards. Fellow TE
Dawson Knox caught three of his four targets for a season-high 37 yards against Miami with Kincaid injured, and he'll be in play as a touchdown-dependent TE2 streamer in Week 11 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers if Kincaid is unable to play. Fantasy managers should consider Kincaid a highly volatile option for Week 11. Check back later this week to see if he's able to practice.

Los Angeles Chargers rookie tight end
Oronde Gadsden (quadriceps) is considered "day-to-day" after an MRI exam on Monday revealed a quad bruise, a source told Adam Schefter of ESPN. Gadsden injured his quad in the third quarter of Sunday night's win over the Pittsburgh Steelers and never returned with the game already well in hand. The 22-year-old's injury doesn't sound very serious, but fantasy managers will need to keep a close eye on his practice status heading into Sunday's Week 11 tilt on the road against the Jacksonville Jaguars. If Gadsden isn't cleared to play this weekend, both
Will Dissly, who was a healthy scratch on Sunday night, and
Tyler Conklin would see additional opportunities in the passing game. Gadsden has quickly emerged in his first NFL season and has been on the low-end TE1 radar in fantasy football, catching 35 passes for 466 yards and two touchdowns in his first eight games.

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver
Rashod Bateman (ankle), who was wearing a walking boot after Sunday's win over the Minnesota Vikings, is dealing with a sprained ankle, according to Jamison Hensley of ESPN. "I think he's going to be OK," head coach John Harbaugh said. "We'll see how serious it is going forward." It's unclear if Bateman's ankle injury will prevent him from playing in Week 11 against the division-rival Cleveland Browns this Sunday, but we should know more once Baltimore resumes practicing on Wednesday. If the 25-year-old cannot suit up in Week 11, both
DeAndre Hopkins and
Tylan Wallace would take on larger roles in the passing game behind
Zay Flowers, as would tight end
Isaiah Likely. Bateman continues to offer a low ceiling and floor for fantasy managers as more of a WR4/5 every week, as he has only 16 catches on 31 targets for 194 yards and two touchdowns through nine games.

NBC Sports' JP Finaly reports that Washington Commanders quarterback
Jayden Daniels (elbow) will not travel with the team to Madrid to take on the Miami Dolphins in Week 11 this Sunday. Although Daniels' left-elbow dislocation isn't as serious as initially feared, he will miss a second straight game this weekend and will be re-evaluated after the team's Week 12 bye. The 24-year-old has not been placed on Injured Reserve, but the Commanders are still trying to determine if the second-year signal-caller will be able to play again this year after injuring his elbow in the Week 9 loss to the Seattle Seahawks. The good news is that Daniels won't need surgery, and he didn't suffer any ligament damage to his non-throwing arm. Fantasy managers should consider him a long shot to make his return in Week 13 against the Denver Broncos, and Daniels' availability the rest of the way could be determined by the team's standings in the NFC.

Washington Commanders wide receiver
Terry McLaurin (quadriceps) will not play against the Miami Dolphins in Madrid in Week 11, according to JP Finlay of NBC Sports Washington. McLaurin missed four games earlier this season with a quad injury suffered in Week 4 and then aggravated the injury in Week 8. The 30-year-old has not practiced or played since the aggravation, and now he'll miss a third straight game in Week 11. Washington has its bye in Week 12, so the earliest we'll see McLaurin again will be for a Sunday night contest in Week 13 against the Denver Broncos. The former third-round pick has been a fantasy bust in 2025 after going over 1,000 receiving yards for the fifth straight season in 2024. Through only four games played this year, he has a 13-203-1 line. With McLaurin out another week and
Luke McCaffrey (collarbone) also sidelined,
Deebo Samuel Sr., rookie
Jaylin Lane, and former first-rounder
Treylon Burks will be the Commanders' top three wideouts.

San Francisco 49ers running back
Brian Robinson Jr. saw a limited workload in Sunday's matchup against the Rams, but was highly efficient in the loss. On the field for only 14 offensive snaps, Robinson took eight carries for 41 yards and a touchdown. Over the past two weeks, he has turned 13 carries into 94 yards and two scores. While not seeing nearly enough usage to be a reliable fantasy asset, Robinson remains one of the most important insurance backs in the league. Should
Christian McCaffrey miss time or cede any work down the stretch, Robinson has proven more than capable in Kyle Shanahan's running back-friendly offense. Robinson should be rostered in all leagues for the league-winning upside he represents, but he's also proven that he has just enough standalone value to be plugged into the flex in a pinch.

When asked on Monday if Cleveland Browns quarterback
Deshaun Watson (Achilles) would have his 21-day practice window opened this week, head coach Kevin Stefanski told reporters, "I'm not sure if that's what we're doing." Recent reports have indicated that Watson's recovery from a torn Achilles suffered in Week 7 of 2024 has been going well, even after an additional surgery in January. Rookie
Dillon Gabriel has started the last five games for the Browns, going 1-4 in that stretch, while throwing six touchdown passes to two interceptions. Fellow rookie
Shedeur Sanders was the team's QB2 on Sunday after missing time with back tightness. Regardless of who is under center in Cleveland, the team's pass catchers face a muddled competition for below-average targets and will likely not be a part of many fantasy playoff rosters.

New York Giants tight end
Theo Johnson caught a season-high seven passes for 75 yards in Sunday's Week 10 loss to the Bears. Since
Jaxson Dart took over as the Giants' starting quarterback in Week 4, Johnson has been on a 17-game pace of 66 catches for 644 yards and 12 touchdowns, putting him squarely in the every-week starter conversation. Unfortunately, Dart left Sunday's game with a concussion and will now need to clear protocol before retaking the field, but the Giants boast one of the most tight-end-friendly schedules down the stretch, with fantasy playoff matchups against both the Commanders and Vikings. While the Giants organization faces turmoil in a week that saw head coach Brian Daboll fired, the connection between Dart and Johnson seems legitimate. As long as the rookie signal-caller doesn't face a prolonged absence, Johnson is a valuable streaming option that should be available on most waiver wires.

Arizona Cardinals running back
Emari Demercado had only seven total touches in Sunday's blowout loss to the Seahawks. Still, he was able to salvage a respectable fantasy performance on the back of two big plays, a 55-yard fourth-quarter rush, and a 34-yard catch and run on a first-half dumpoff. He finished the day with 104 yards and looked like the Cardinals' most explosive back for the second straight week. Unfortunately, he still finds himself in a near 50/50 time share with
Bam Knight, making him little more than a desperation flex play until
Trey Benson (knee) returns from the knee injury that has now cost him five games. The Cardinals face the 49ers in Week 11, an above-average matchup for running backs, and Demercado represents a high-risk/moderate-reward on this week's waiver wire.

Houston Texans tight end
Dalton Schultz caught seven of 11 targets for 53 yards and a touchdown in the team's improbable Week 10 win over the Jaguars. In
Davis Mills' first start since 2022, only
Nico Collins demanded a higher target share. Schultz has now caught at least five passes for 50+ yards in four of his last five games, proving himself to be an important piece of the Texans' passing offense, regardless of who is under center. While Sunday's fourth-quarter touchdown was his first of the season, he's been able to provide a reliable floor on volume alone. With
C.J. Stroud one week further along in the concussion protocol, Shultz remains in the streaming conversation in another divisional matchup with the Titans in Week 11. And should Stroud be sidelined for one more week, fantasy managers should feel reassured by Schultz's early chemistry with Mills.

Cincinnati Bengals head coach Zac Taylor said on Monday that All-Pro defensive end Trey Hendrickson (hip) will be doubtful to play in Week 11 against the division-rival Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday, according to Kelsey Conway of the Cincinnati Enquirer. Hendrickson missed his second game of the year in the Week 9 loss to the Chicago Bears, and it appears he's still not ready to play despite having a bye in Week 10 to heal up. It's unclear if Hendrickson will be ready to return to action for a Week 12 tilt next weekend against the New England Patriots. Even with Hendrickson active in 2025, Cincy's defense has continued to slow down opponents, allowing a league-high 33.3 points per game through nine contests. Hendrickson has been a disappointment after back-to-back 17.5-sack seasons, too, as he only has four QB takedowns and a forced fumble in his seven starts in 2025.

Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Liam Coen said on Monday that tight end
Brenton Strange's (quadriceps) 21-day practice window will be opened this week. "He's very eager to get out there and compete... trying to not put a ton of huge expectations on him. More like 'hey, let's just get you back out there, practicing.' We're obviously hopeful, but taking it day to day," Coen said. The 24-year-old was initially projected to miss at least five weeks due to a quad and hip injury that included a ligament tear. Now that he's returning to practice, the Jags will have 21 days to officially activate Strange from IR, but that likely won't happen before the team's Week 11 game this Sunday versus the Los Angeles Chargers. Strange was emerging as an upside TE2 before his injury, catching 20 passes for 204 yards in five games, and he could be more involved when he returns with rookie first-round wideout
Travis Hunter (knee) on IR.

NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reports that the Cincinnati Bengals have advanced quarterback
Joe Burrow (toe) for a limited return to practice on Monday so that he can start progressing to on-field activities. It's a major step towards playing again later this year, and the Bengals can technically activate him from Injured Reserve anytime within the next 21 days. Burrow's recovery from turf-toe surgery is on track, but the expectation is that he won't return until around mid-December, at the earliest. So fantasy managers who have been stashing the former first overall pick might be disappointed when all is said and done. The 28-year-old two-time Pro Bowler played in just two games earlier this season before suffering a Grade 3 turf-toe injury that required surgery. The Bengals went with
Jake Browning initially as Burrow's replacement before acquiring veteran
Joe Flacco in a trade with Cleveland. Flacco will continue to serve as Cincy's starting QB until Burrow is cleared.
UPDATE: Head coach Zac Taylor said Burrow won't play in Week 11 against the division-rival Pittsburgh Steelers.--Keith HernandezSource: NFL Network - Tom Pelissero

The New York Giants fired head coach Brian Daboll on Monday, sources tell Adam Schefter of ESPN. The move came after the Giants blew a fourth-quarter lead to lose to the Chicago Bears 24-20 on Sunday after rookie quarterback
Jaxson Dart left the contest with a concussion. Offensive coordinator Mike Kafka, who has interviewed for head-coaching jobs in recent seasons, will take over as the interim head coach going forward. The Giants went 2-8 under Daboll this year in his fourth season with the team. New York set a franchise record with their 11th straight road loss in Chicago in Week 10, a year after the Giants set a franchise record with a 10-game losing streak last year under Daboll. In his first year in the Big Apple, Daboll led the G-Men to the playoffs and was named Coach of the Year, but it fell apart quickly after that.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles said that the team is hoping to get wide receiver
Chris Godwin (leg) back soon, but there is still no timetable for his return, according to the Pewter Report. Godwin didn't make his 2025 debut until Week 4 after rehabbing a serious ankle dislocation that he suffered in Week 7 of 2024. The 29-year-old played in two games before suffering a serious fibula injury, and he hasn't played since Week 5. Although the Bucs could really use him back following
Mike Evans' broken collarbone, the team isn't going to rush him back, and reports have suggested he might not play in a game again until December. Fantasy managers should expect Godwin to miss a fifth straight game in Week 11 versus the Buffalo Bills. Until Godwin can return, rookies
Emeka Egbuka and
Tez Johnson should continue to do the heavy lifting in the passing game.
