Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver
Tyler Lockett (knee) was limited in Thursday's practice with a knee injury, but he put in full practices on Friday and Saturday and has been cleared to play in Week 11 against the Dallas Cowboys on Monday Night Football, according to Ryan McFadden of ESPN. In a pristine matchup, Lockett will be looking to stay heavily involved in the passing attack after catching five of his six targets for a season-high 44 yards in the Week 10 loss to the Denver Broncos. The 33-year-old had only 10 catches for 70 scoreless yards in seven games with the Titans before joining the Raiders and reuniting with quarterback
Geno Smith. Lockett and Smith have clear chemistry from their days in Seattle. With that said, Lockett might still be the No. 3 target for Smith behind
Tre Tucker and
Brock Bowers. Lockett's upside isn't what it used to be, but his chemistry with Smith shouldn't be ignored, and he's facing the worst defense against WRs this week in Dallas. In deeper fantasy leagues, Lockett is in play as a WR4/5 this week.

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver
Demarcus Robinson hasn't made much of an impact in the passing game in his first year in the Bay Area despite the 49ers being one of the most banged-up teams in the NFL. Through seven games (one start) in 2025, Robinson has caught 11 of his 21 targets for 142 yards and is still searching for his first touchdown of the year. He did play 46% of the offensive snaps (third-highest snap share of the season) in last week's blowout loss to the Los Angeles Rams, but it led to only three catches on four targets for 34 yards. Fellow wideout
Ricky Pearsall (knee) is making his return this weekend for the first time since spraining his PCL in Week 4, so Robinson figures to see less time on the field in Week 11 versus the Arizona Cardinals. The Cardinals' defense has been middle of the pack in terms of fantasy points allowed per game to opposing wideouts, and Robinson remains off the fantasy radar in pretty much all leagues.

Pittsburgh Steelers big-bodied tight end
Darnell Washington caught his only touchdown of the season and the second of his career in the first matchup against the division-rival Cincinnati Bengals on Oct. 16, but it came on just three catches (five targets) for two yards. Since then, the 6-foot-7, 264-pound unit has caught five passes for 58 yards and no touchdowns on seven targets as the team's TE3 behind
Pat Freiermuth and
Jonnu Smith. In nine total games in 2025 in his third year in the NFL, Washington has just 14 receptions for 142 yards and one touchdown on 21 targets. His size sets him apart when quarterback
Aaron Rodgers is facing pressure and he just needs to throw the ball up to a big target, but otherwise, Washington just isn't seeing enough volume to be anything more than a TE3 in fantasy, even against a Bengals defense that has allowed the most half-PPR points per game to the TE position.

Dallas Cowboys linebacker DeMarvion Overshown (knee) is off the injury report and will make his 2025 debut against the Las Vegas Raiders. Overshown suffered a significant knee injury (Torn ACL, MCL, PCL) in December of 2024 but is making his return just 11 months after the horrifying injury. During his rookie season, Overshown was an impact player for the Cowboys, forcing five sacks, 90 tackles, a forced fumble, and a pick-six in just 13 games. The Cowboys' defense has struggled in both the run game and the passing game, so Overshown's presence will be one to watch on Monday Night when they face the Las Vegas Raiders.

The New England Patriots have placed defensive tackle Milton Williams (ankle) on injured reserve after he suffered a high-ankle sprain early in Thursday night's win over the New York Jets. Williams, who signed a four-year, $104 million contract in the offseason, has been one of the driving forces behind New England's dramatic improvement against the run. Williams was a key part of the Philadelphia Eagles' run defense in 2024 when they ranked as the best defense against running backs. With Williams sidelined until at least Week 16, the team will need defensive ends Joshua Farmer and Cory Durden to step up in Williams' absence.

The New York Giants have signed kicker
Younghoe Koo to the active roster ahead of Week 11's matchup against the Green Bay Packers. With
Graham Gano (neck) on the injured reserve, Koo will likely serve the kicking duties for the remainder of the season. Koo made both field goal and extra point attempts in Week 10, even in the cold and windy conditions in Chicago. The Giants face the Green Bay Packers in Week 11, who have been an elite defense in 2025. With
Jaxson Dart (concussion) out, and
Jameis Winston under center, field goal opportunities could be rare in this one.

Las Vegas Raiders rookie wide receiver
Dont'e Thornton Jr. is trying to take advantage of expanded opportunities in Week 11. Thornton only caught one pass for four yards in their Week 11 loss to the Denver Broncos, but played 60% of the snaps, which ranked second on the team. With the Dallas Cowboys on the slate in Week 11, Thornton could offer big-play upside in deeper leagues and DFS formats. The Cowboys have allowed the most half-PPR fantasy points to wide receivers this season, so this could be a big week for the rookie receiver. In what should be a high-scoring affair in Week 11, look for Thornton to make an impact in Week 11.

The Buffalo Bills activated wide receivers
Mecole Hardman and
Gabriel Davis to the active roster this week. Hardman, who was recently signed, brings game-breaking speed as a receiving and return specialist, while Davis offers size and experience in the offense.
Khalil Shakir remains the team's No. 1 receiver but currently ranks 41st in the NFL in receiving yards. With no injury designations in the Bills' wide receiver room, the latest roster moves suggest that at least one receiver is likely to be a healthy scratch against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. While neither Hardman nor Davis carries much fantasy value this week, both should have opportunities to add a spark to an underwhelming receiving room.

Detroit Lions tight end
Sam LaPorta (back) was placed on Injured Reserve ahead of the Week 11 Sunday night game against the Philadelphia Eagles. LaPorta did not practice this week and was ruled out before their primetime game against the Eagles. Through nine games, LaPorta has hauled in 40 of 49 targets for 489 yards and three touchdowns, ranking as the TE8 in PPR formats. LaPorta's absence should upgrade the other weapons across the board, especially
Jameson Williams and tight end
Brock Wright, who is questionable to play this weekend with an ankle injury. The next chance that LaPorta has to return is in Week 15, when they head to Los Angeles to take on the Rams.

The Houston Texans have activated tight end
Cade Stover (foot) from Injured Reserve heading into their Week 11 matchup against the Tennessee Titans. The team placed tight end
Harrison Bryant (neck/shoulder) on Injured Reserve in a corresponding roster move. Stover has been sidelined since suffering a broken foot in Week 1. Across 15 games as a rookie in 2024, Stover recorded 15 catches for 133 yards and a touchdown on 22 targets. While Stover is unlikely to play a fantasy-relevant role himself, his return could threaten the playing time of Texans tight end
Dalton Schultz. Schultz has emerged as a consistent feature in the Houston passing game in recent weeks, recording 24 catches for 252 yards and a touchdown on 32 targets over his last four games. Fantasy managers should monitor the playing time split between Schultz and Stover in Week 11.

Through the first nine games of his NFL career, Seattle Seahawks rookie tight end
Elijah Arroyo has recorded 14 catches for 174 yards and a touchdown on 20 targets. While Arroyo has flashed upside, his production ceiling is limited as he splits snaps with fellow Seahawks tight end
AJ Barner. The Seahawks have a difficult matchup in Week 11 against the Los Angeles Rams. Through 10 weeks, the Rams defense is allowing the seventh-fewest (6.6) yards per pass attempt in the NFL. Arroyo has not recorded more than five targets or four catches in any game this season, and he appears unlikely to surpass those marks against Los Angeles. Fantasy managers should avoid starting Arroyo in Week 11 against the Rams.

Denver Broncos running back
J.K. Dobbins (foot) has a "significant" foot injury that will require season-ending surgery, according to Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. Dobbins suffered the injury in Week 10 and had already been ruled out for Denver's Week 11 matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs, but he will now be placed on Injured Reserve. It's an unfortunate development for the oft-injured 26-year-old, who was having a solid season in his first year in Denver. Through 10 games, Dobbins had recorded 772 rushing yards and four touchdowns on 153 carries. With Dobbins sidelined, Broncos rookie running back
RJ Harvey profiles as the team's RB1 for Week 11 and beyond. Fellow backs
Tyler Badie and
Jaleel McLaughlin could also factor in Denver, but neither profiles as a true threat to surpass Harvey.
UPDATE: One source said Dobbins "will be ready in February if the Broncos make the Super Bowl."--Will BradySource: NFL Network - Ian Rapoport, Tom Pelissero

The Buffalo Bills defense had a rough game in Week 10, allowing 30 points in a loss to the Miami Dolphins. Buffalo now faces a more difficult matchup on paper in Week 11 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. On the bright side, the Bills will get top outside cornerback Christian Benford (groin) back from the groin injury that sidelined him in Week 10. Additionally, there are a few reasons to believe that Buffalo matches up well with Tampa Bay. The Bills' main weakness on defense has been defending the run, which is an area where the Buccaneers struggle. Through 10 weeks, Tampa Bay has recorded the sixth-fewest rushing yards (898) in the NFL. Additionally, the Buccaneers will remain without their star running back
Bucky Irving (foot, shoulder) in Week 11. Still, Tampa Bay's offense remains capable of putting up points in a game that could turn into a shootout. Ultimately, Buffalo's D/ST profiles as a low-end starting unit at best for fantasy managers in Week 11.

Chicago Bears cornerback Jaylon Johnson (groin) has been downgraded to out for his team's Week 11 matchup against the Minnesota Vikings. The star corner has been on Injured Reserve since Week 2 due to a groin injury. Chicago has opened Johnson's activation window, and he was able to log a limited practice on Friday, but he'll have to wait at least one more week before returning to the field. Across 17 games in 2024, Johnson recorded 42 solo tackles and two interceptions and was named to his second Pro Bowl. Without Johnson, Tyrique Stevenson and Nahshon Wright will likely see the majority of the team's cornerback snaps in Week 11. Johnson's next chance to make his return to the lineup will be in Week 12 against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver
Jermaine Burton (illness) will not play in his team's Week 11 matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers due to illness, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Burton has not appeared in a game for Cincinnati yet this season. The former third-round pick flashed upside at times during his rookie season in 2024, but he is buried on the Bengals' wide receiver depth chart. Cincinnati wideouts
Ja'Marr Chase,
Tee Higgins, and
Andrei Iosivas should remain the top options for quarterback
Joe Flacco in Week 11 against Pittsburgh.
