Houston Texans quarterback
C.J. Stroud (concussion) was not seen on the practice field on Thursday, according to DJ Bien-Aime of ESPN. Stroud suffered a concussion early in the Week 9 loss to the Denver Broncos and was not active in last Sunday's comeback victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars. The 24-year-old is still in the league's concussion protocol and hasn't practiced this week, so all signs are pointing to him missing a second straight game this weekend against the division-rival Tennessee Titans. Stroud was still experiencing some concussion symptoms earlier this week. With a short week coming up next in Week 12 on Thursday Night Football versus the Buffalo Bills, it's possible Stroud could be looking at missing three straight games. Backup
Davis Mills surprisingly threw for almost 300 yards against the Jags, but fantasy managers shouldn't expect him to need to attempt 45 passes against Tennessee.

Los Angeles Rams quarterback
Matthew Stafford hasn't played like a 37-year-old in his 17th year in the league in 2025. In fact, he's playing some of the best football of his career and comes into a crucial Week 11 divisional battle against the Seattle Seahawks this Sunday on an incredible hot streak. Stafford went 24-for-36 passing for 280 yards and four touchdowns in last week's blowout win over the San Francisco 49ers to reach 400 passing TDs for his career. He not only leads the NFL with 25 passing touchdowns through 10 weeks, but Stafford is on an absolute heater, going 69-for-101 with 13 touchdowns and no picks in his last three games. Fantasy managers who scored Stafford off the waiver wire earlier this year are sitting pretty. However, will he be able to keep the good times rolling on Sunday versus Seattle? The Seahawks' defense is improved, but they are around the middle of the pack in average fantasy points allowed per week to QBs and passing yards allowed per game, so there's absolutely no reason why anyone should be benching the red-hot Stafford this weekend.

Miami Dolphins rookie running back
Ollie Gordon II (ankle) was listed as a limited practice participant for the second straight day on Thursday due to an ankle injury that he suffered in Week 9, according to Travis Wingfield of MiamiDolphins.com. Gordon's ankle definitely played a part in the team's Week 10 upset win over the Buffalo Bills, as he played on just three offensive snaps and saw only one rushing attempt on the day. Meanwhile,
Jaylen Wright played 10 snaps and had five carries as the RB2 behind workhorse back
De'Von Achane. Before Gordon's ankle injury, he had been the clear backup to Achane over Wright in 2025, but that script has been flipped with Gordon at less than 100% health. Neither Gordon nor Wright has any standalone fantasy value, with Achane rarely coming off the field. Gordon has 41 rushing attempts in his first NFL season for 119 yards and a touchdown.

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver
Parker Washington (hamstring) returned to Thursday's practice after he was listed as a non-participant due to a hamstring injury on Wednesday, according to Michael DiRocco of ESPN. Washington's fantasy stock was on the rise going into the Week 10 loss to the Houston Texans, with rookie first-rounder
Travis Hunter (knee) placed on Injured Reserve and
Brian Thomas Jr. (ankle) ruled out. The 23-year-old pass-catcher responded with two touchdowns (one receiving, one on special teams) on three catches for 33 yards. Thomas could be back this weekend against the Tennessee Titans, but Washington should maintain his role as a starter in Jacksonville's passing attack the rest of the year now that Hunter is officially done for the season. He'll make for a WR4/flex option again on Sunday in a good matchup, and he's definitely developed some solid chemistry with quarterback
Trevor Lawrence in his third NFL season.

Miami Dolphins tight end
Julian Hill (ankle) was limited for the second straight day this week in practice on Thursday, according to Travis Wingfield of MiamiDolphins.com. Hill has not played since suffering an ankle injury in Week 7 and has put in five straight limited practices. The 25-year-old's status remains up in the air for this weekend's game in Madrid, Spain, versus the Washington Commanders. If he misses another game,
Greg Dulcich should operate as Miami's top pass-catching tight end for another week with
Darren Waller (pectoral) still on Injured Reserve. In general, fantasy managers should avoid Miami's TE situation. Hill, who is in his third year with Miami, had only 10 receptions on 13 targets for 77 yards and no touchdowns in seven games before his ankle injury.

Washington Commanders tight end
Ben Sinnott (ankle) has been added to the Week 11 injury report after he was limited in the team's practice on Thursday, according to John Keim of ESPN. Sinnott was a full participant on Wednesday, so with the downgrade, he might be questionable to play this weekend in Madrid, Spain, against the Miami Dolphins. If the 23-year-old can play this Sunday overseas, he could have an elevated workload with
Terry McLaurin (quadriceps),
Luke McCaffrey (collarbone), and
Treylon Burks (finger) all ruled out. Still, fantasy managers shouldn't be holding their breath at all, as Sinnott has a mere three receptions (three targets) for 31 yards and one touchdown on the year, and he's unlikely to produce much as long as starting TE
Zach Ertz remains healthy.

Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said the team will see how practice goes this week for rookie first-round wide receiver
Matthew Golden (shoulder), but he was "definitely close" to suiting up on Monday Night Football in the loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, according to Weston Hodkiewicz of Packers.com. LaFleur indicated that the Packers would ease Golden back into practice this week, and he was officially limited on Wednesday. If the 22-year-old can upgrade to a full participant by Friday, he should be cleared to return to the field for this Sunday's game on the road against the New York Giants. Golden certainly has not lived up to the preseason hype that surrounded him after being the 23rd overall pick in April, especially with
Jayden Reed (collarbone, foot) out since Week 2. If he returns, he'll be a risky WR4/5 option for fantasy managers. Golden has yet to score in his first eight NFL games.

San Francisco 49ers general manager John Lynch left open the possibility that wide receiver
Brandon Aiyuk (knee) may not make it back to play at all in 2025, according to KNBR. "That's not the intention, the intention is to get Brandon back. We're not there yet, we just gotta get him to a place where we're comfortable opening that window, and see if he can make it back on the field. That is the intention. But we'll see, no absolutes there," Lynch said when asked if there was a scenario in which Aiyuk wouldn't make it back to play this year. The 27-year-old has been on the Physically Unable to Perform list all season after tearing his MCL and ACL in Week 7 of 2024. Head coach Kyle Shanahan said the team will not open Aiyuk's 21-day practice window this week, either, so he won't make his 2025 debut in Week 11 against the division-rival Cardinals. Fantasy managers still stashing Aiyuk may not want to get their hopes up.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver
Chris Godwin recorded another practice on Thursday as the team gears up for a matchup with the hosting Buffalo Bills this Sunday. Godwin returned to practice on Wednesday in a limited capacity after not having done so since way back in Week 5. While it's unclear what his status was for Thursday's session, it's undoubtedly a step in the right direction. It wouldn't be surprising to see the Bucs hold the veteran out a little bit longer, considering he's barely a year removed from a significant ankle injury. In any case, fantasy managers will want to keep a watchful eye on his designation in Week 11, as Tampa Bay's corps of wideouts is particularly thin. If Godwin is forced to miss another game, teammates
Emeka Egbuka,
Tez Johnson, and
Sterling Shepard would again operate in 11 personnel.

Houston Texans rookie running back
Woody Marks looked like the team's lead back in an impressive comeback victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 10, handling a season-high 60 offensive snaps and 16 touches. Marks went for 81 scrimmage yards and a touchdown against the Jags. The Texans have used a RB-by-committee approach this year with Marks and
Nick Chubb with
Joe Mixon (ankle, foot) still sidelined. Chubb only saw 10 snaps against the Jags, though, his lowest in a game since joining the Texans. It was the first time Marks earned more carries than Chubb (14 to five) in three games and just the second time all year. Fantasy managers with Marks rostered were glad to see it, but it may not be the norm, with offensive coordinator Nick Caley saying the uptick in touches for Marks was "more spontaneous than predetermined," per the Houston Chronicle's Sam Warren. Still, Marks the better upside RB in fantasy, and he could go off again against the Titans this weekend after going for a season-high 17 carries, 69 yards, and a touchdown against them on Sept. 28, also adding four catches for 50 yards and another TD.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back
Bucky Irving (foot, shoulder) was spotted at practice for the second consecutive day ahead of the team's road clash with the Buffalo Bills in Week 11. Irving hasn't touched the field since a standout performance in Week 4, but the recent string of practices is encouraging. It's unknown if he'll be on track to play in Sunday's outing, though fantasy managers must be relieved to see him practicing in at least a limited capacity. Presumably, he'll likely sit for another week or so as he works back to full strength. If that's the case, it will be another game of backfield mates
Rachaad White and
Sean Tucker splitting work in his stead. White has led the duo by a wide margin in snaps, but it's worth mentioning that Tucker has garnered more work in the previous two outings.

Cleveland Browns wide receiver
Jerry Jeudy was ecstatic to be involved early and often in last weekend's loss to the New York Jets, crediting the team's new play-caller with his success. "I think Tommy just put me in a great position to be able to make those plays," Jeudy claimed via Akron Beacon Journal's Chris Easterling. "Yeah, I think that's what it is. I was just in the right position." Head coach Kevin Stefanski indeed relinquished play-calling duties to offensive coordinator Tommy Rees ahead of Week 10's outing. For one game, at least, it made an impact, as the sixth-year pro snagged his first touchdown of the campaign while also notching his first appearance with more than five grabs. Jeudy's value is largely tied to rookie quarterback
Dillon Gabriel's output, though things are looking up ahead of their matchup with a recently stingy Baltimore Ravens defense.

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports that the New York Jets have not ruled out placing wide receiver
Garrett Wilson (knee) on Injured Reserve. The 25-year-old initially injured his knee back in Week 6, and proceeded to sit for the ensuing two contests before the team's bye week. It appeared he had fully healed, but he reaggravated the injury in the Jets' win over the Cleveland Browns, potentially jeopardizing his availability for the next month of play. If Wilson is out for at least the next four games, it makes sense for the team to act accordingly, particularly given their season is out of reach. Fantasy managers can expect teammates
Tyler Johnson,
Adonai Mitchell, and
Arian Smith to operate the team's corps in the Ohio State product's stead.

New England Patriots wide receiver
Mack Hollins should again benefit from a diminished WR room on Thursday night when his team squares off with the New York Jets. Hollins has posted solid production in two of his last three appearances, and will get another opportunity to do so in Week 11 with teammate
Kayshon Boutte (hamstring) set to miss this week's contest. Boutte exited New England's win over Tampa Bay early, and Hollins erupted for his first 100-yard performance since 2022. Quarterback
Drake Maye has done well to spread the ball around this season, although Hollins is now officially the room's snap leader and has the best chance at picking up targets vacated by his teammate. He'll be a low-end flex option for his outing with New York.

Houston Texans rookie wide receiver
Jayden Higgins turned in the best performance of his young career in Week 10, catching five of seven targets for 42 yards and a touchdown in the 36-29 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars. The 2025 second-round pick has struggled to carve out a consistent role in Houston's offense, often seeing limited snaps behind the team's other outside receivers. However, for just the second time this season, Higgins outsnapped
Xavier Hutchinson, who has played 66% of the team's offensive snaps overall. If Higgins continues to earn more playing time, he could emerge as the Texans' WR2 and a sneaky fantasy contributor down the stretch. He'll look to build on his momentum in Week 11 against the Tennessee Titans.
