Chicago Bulls guard
Coby White (calf) has been listed as questionable for a game against the Utah Jazz on Sunday night. He could be ready to make his season debut after practicing with the team on Saturday. This week, White also spent some time with the Bulls' G League affiliate to get in additional practice reps. It wouldn't be surprising to see the team initially limit White's workload. However, once he finds his footing, White should become an integral part of the offense going forward. He had a very strong finish to last season, posting 24.5 points, 4.4 rebounds, and 4.3 assists per game after the All-Star break.

Chicago Bulls guard
Josh Giddey (ankle) is on track to return to action on Sunday against the Utah Jazz, as the team has listed him as probable for the game. Giddey has missed a pair of games due to a right ankle sprain, allowing
Kevin Huerter to run with the starters. Only a handful of players have been more productive than Giddey at the start of the season, as the 23-year-old averages 21.4 points, 9.6 rebounds, 9.3 assists, and 1.0 steals. He could cook up something very special on Sunday, as Chicago and Utah are both ranked in the top 10 in the league for pace, making this an outstanding fantasy matchup.

New Orleans Pelicans forward
Zion Williamson (hamstring) is listed as questionable on the injury report for Sunday's game against the Golden State Warriors. There have been several positive updates on Williamson's recovery from a hamstring injury this week, and it looks like he might be ready to return to the lineup on Sunday. If Williamson's comeback doesn't come in Sunday's game, it might happen on Monday against the Oklahoma City Thunder during the second leg of a back-to-back.
Saddiq Bey has done an admirable job as Williamson's replacement in the starting lineup, but he will lose momentum if he has to return to the second unit.

Memphis Grizzlies point guard
Ja Morant (calf) was limited to six minutes in Saturday's 108-100 loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers. Returning to action after missing one game due to an ankle problem, Morant lasted less than 10 minutes against Cleveland due to right calf soreness.
Vince Williams Jr. took Morant's spot in the starting lineup for the second half, finishing the contest with eight points, four rebounds, five assists, and two steals in 27 minutes. Although Williams Jr. couldn't get it done offensively on Saturday, he will be an interesting fantasy piece if Morant has to miss additional time, especially with
Ty Jerome (calf),
Javon Small (toe), and
Scotty Pippen Jr. (toe) all missing from the backcourt.

Oklahoma City Thunder guard/forward
Alex Caruso (hand) has been ruled out for the rest of Saturday's game against the Charlotte Hornets, Andrew Schlecht of The Athletic reports. Coming off the bench, Caruso logged only 1:42 of action before hurting his right hand. His exit from the game allows
Isaiah Joe and
Ajay Mitchell to take on more shifts in the rotation. The team has labeled Caruso's injury as "right hand soreness," which doesn't sound too serious. However, he could still miss additional time because of it. The Thunder's next game is scheduled for Monday night against the New Orleans Pelicans.
--Taavi PailkSource: Andrew Schlecht
November 15, 2025
Sacramento Kings center
Domantas Sabonis (ribs) is considered questionable for Sunday's clash against the San Antonio Spurs. He has played in four consecutive contests despite being listed as questionable each time, so it appears likely that Sabonis will remain in the lineup on Sunday. However, if he suffers a setback, the Kings will likely hand the starting center job to
Drew Eubanks, who recently filled in for Sabonis in the first unit a couple of times. Eubanks averaged 14.0 points, 3.5 rebounds, and 2.0 blocks in those contests.

November 15, 2025
Orlando Magic forward
Paolo Banchero (groin) remains out for Sunday's matchup with the Houston Rockets. He injured his groin during a recent meeting with the New York Knicks and wasn't available for Friday's NBA Cup game versus the Nets. He'll now miss his second-straight game because of the issue, although there hasn't been much revealed regarding his prognosis. While
Franz Wagner,
Jalen Suggs, and
Desmond Bane are the favorites to benefit the most on the scoring end,
Tristan da Silva, coming off a 22-point effort as a starter, is worth streaming in any fantasy format.
--Dennis ClausenSource: NBA Injury Report
November 15, 2025
Dallas Mavericks forward/center
Anthony Davis (calf) has been listed as doubtful for Sunday's contest against the Portland Trail Blazers. This marks a downgrade to Davis' status because he has previously been on the injury report with a questionable designation. If there isn't a positive development in the next 24 hours or so, Davis will miss a ninth consecutive game. Fortunately for the Mavericks, they received some help in the frontcourt with the return of
Dereck Lively II on Friday night against the Los Angeles Clippers. After missing nearly three weeks of action, Lively II was limited to 17 minutes. His workload may increase on Sunday night, with
Daniel Gafford also in a position to see more playing time due to Davis' absence.

November 15, 2025
Indiana Pacers forward
Aaron Nesmith (knee) will be out of action for at least four weeks, head coach Rick Carlisle announced on Saturday. Nesmith sprained his left knee on Thursday against the Phoenix Suns. His exit from the lineup gave
Jarace Walker a new starting opportunity on Saturday against the Toronto Raptors. During a recent seven-game stint in the first unit, Walker averaged 12.4 points, 5.6 rebounds, and 3.7 assists across 31.0 minutes per game. If he sticks in the starting lineup, the 22-year-old is set to have additional fantasy value until at least mid-December.
--Taavi PailkSource: NBA.com
November 15, 2025
San Antonio Spurs center
Victor Wembanyama (calf) is questionable for Sunday's meeting with the Sacramento Kings. The 2023 No. 1 overall pick is playing at an MVP level, averaging 26.2 points, 12.9 rebounds, 3.6 blocks, and 1.1 steals. He also hasn't missed a game after being limited to 46 appearances last season. However, nagging calf tightness could be enough to keep him off the floor for the first time in the 2025 campaign. If Wemby can't go, there are several directions head coach Mitch Johnson could go, although most of them will likely result in more minutes for
Julian Champagnie,
Luke Kornet, and
Keldon Johnson.
--Dennis ClausenSource: NBA Injury Report
November 15, 2025
Houston Rockets forward
Tari Eason (oblique) will be sidelined for 4-6 weeks, head coach Ime Udoka announced on Saturday. Eason was diagnosed with a strained oblique following his early exit from Friday's victory over the Portland Trail Blazers. The 24-year-old has been an important contributor in the rotation, averaging 11.5 points and 5.2 rebounds across 23.2 minutes, with close to 51 percent shooting from outside.
Josh Okogie has broken into the starting lineup and may now see even more playing time due to Eason's absence.
Reed Sheppard's role could also expand in the rotation.
--Taavi PailkSource: ESPN
November 15, 2025
Denver Nuggets guard/forward
Julian Strawther (back) will play on Saturday versus the Timberwolves. He was listed on the injury report because of low back pain, but he'll be out there for a Nuggets team that won't have
Christian Braun (ankle) and
Cameron Johnson (biceps). Strawther isn't having a good season, averaging a career-low 4.1 points. As of now, he's not someone to roster in most fantasy setups, although that might chance if he's given extra playing time and makes good use of it.
--Dennis ClausenSource: NBA Injury Report
November 15, 2025
Los Angeles Lakers guard
Marcus Smart (illness) will miss Saturday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. The team has ruled him out due to illness. Smart has had a strong eight-game stretch as a starter, averaging 11.1 points, 2.9 rebounds, 3.9 assists, and 2.6 steals. In his absence,
Bronny James Jr. will make his second career start in Saturday's game. This is a big opportunity for James Jr. to make an impression after averaging only 12.1 minutes across eight contests so far this season. The 21-year-old should be fresh for the contest after being in the rotation in only one of the last three games.
--Taavi PailkSource: NBA Injury Report
November 15, 2025
Denver Nuggets forward
Cameron Johnson (biceps) won't play on Saturday against the Minnesota Timberwolves. The former Net suffered a biceps strain during Wednesday's game versus the Clippers. While there hasn't been an official update regarding a return timetable, it's reasonable to assume he may miss more time moving forward.
Nikola Jokic (wrist) is available, which is good news. However, with Johnson and
Christian Braun (ankle) sidelined,
Tim Hardaway Jr. and
Peyton Watson, who are both starting on Saturday night, should be viewed as risky, high-upside streaming options.
--Dennis ClausenSource: NBA Injury Report
November 15, 2025
Los Angeles Lakers forward
Rui Hachimura (calf) will miss Saturday's contest against the Milwaukee Bucks. He will exit the lineup following a busy night on Friday against the New Orleans Pelicans. Hachimura is on the injury report with calf soreness, but it's safe to assume that the team is simply resting him for the season leg of a back-to-back.
Jake LaRavia will replace Hachimura in the first unit. The 24-year-old has been a productive player as a starter this season and will have extra fantasy value on Saturday night. In five previous starts, LaRavia has averaged 12.4 points, 6.0 rebounds, 3.2 assists, and 1.2 steals.
--Taavi PailkSource: NBA Injury Report
November 15, 2025
Milwaukee Bucks forward
Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) is cleared to suit up for Saturday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. He missed Wednesday's contest versus the Charlotte Hornets. However, despite being on the injury report, he was available for Friday's rematch. With Antetokounmpo available,
Gary Trent Jr. will likely come off the bench, with fewer scoring opportunities for
Kyle Kuzma,
Ryan Rollins, and
Myles Turner.
--Dennis ClausenSource: Milwaukee Bucks
November 15, 2025
San Jose Sharks left wing Jeff Skinner (lower body) landed on Injured Reserve ahead of Saturday's tilt against the Seattle Kraken. In a corresponding move, the Sharks recalled Zack Ostapchuk from the minors. Ostapchuk will replace Skinner in the lineup on Saturday and is likely to see more playing opportunities going forward, as Skinner will have to miss at least three games. The veteran was hurt during Thursday's loss to the Calgary Flames. Skinner's performance has fluctuated throughout the season, resulting in seven points (four goals, three assists) in 17 appearances. Ostapchuk will join the fourth line, so he is not a player that fantasy managers should be interested in.

November 15, 2025
Denver Nuggets center
Nikola Jokic (wrist) is available for Saturday's game against Minnesota. The multi-time MVP was listed as questionable due to a left wrist sprain. Luckily, the injury won't keep him off the floor for the first time this season. He is coming off a strong showing, amassing 55 points, 12 rebounds, six assists, one block, and one steal in Wednesday's win over the Los Angeles Clippers. With Jokic cleared for action,
Jonas Valanciunas, who would have been in line to start, will come off the bench, lowering his fantasy ceiling.
--Dennis ClausenSource: Denver Nuggets
November 15, 2025
Dallas Stars forward Matt Duchene (upper body) will be sidelined for a 14th straight game on Saturday night against the Philadelphia Flyers. The veteran remains day-to-day but no timeline has been set for his return. With Jamie Benn (upper body) also not ready to make his season debut, Dallas will continue to rely heavily on Wyatt Johnston and Roope Hintz in the middle. Johnston has replied well to taking on more responsibilities, leading the Stars with 11 goals. He is second in scoring behind Mikko Rantanen with 21 points in 18 appearances. 11 of Johnston's points have come in seven November outings.
--Taavi PailkSource: NHL.com
November 15, 2025
Dallas Stars defenseman Thomas Harley (undisclosed) is a game-time decision for Saturday's contest against the Philadelphia Flyers. Due to an undisclosed injury, Harley may have to miss his first game of the season. Before Thursday's matchup against the Montreal Canadiens, Harley was also considered a game-time call. He remained in the lineup and posted an assist while logging 21:25 of ice time. Across 18 appearances, Harley has racked up a team-high 43 blocks and sits on 10 points (one goal, nine assists). Kyle Capobianco is expected to enter the lineup if Harley can't play on Saturday night. He has no fantasy value.
--Taavi PailkSource: NHL.com
November 15, 2025
Seattle Kraken right wing Kaapo Kakko (lower body) won't play on Saturday against the San Jose Sharks and is considered week-to-week. After missing the start of the season because of a broken hand, Kakko now faces an extended spell on the sidelines due to a lower-body injury he sustained on Thursday night against the Winnipeg Jets. Health issues have limited Kakko to one goal in seven appearances this season. Jani Nyman, who has notched three goals in 12 games, will take Kakko's spot in the lineup, joining the second line. He is expected to skate on the second power-play unit as well. The Kraken's frontline will also include Frederick Gaudreau (upper body), who was activated from Injured Reserve on Saturday, although he won't have fantasy value as a fourth-liner.
--Taavi PailkSource: NHL.com
November 15, 2025
Toronto Maple Leafs goaltender Joseph Woll (personal) has been named the starter for Saturday's meeting with the Chicago Blackhawks. He will make his season debut after missing time for personal reasons. Last term, Woll struggled during the playoffs, but he had a solid 27-14-1 regular-season record. With Anthony Stolarz (upper body) out of commission, Woll could see a lot of action in the upcoming weeks. On Saturday, he faces a dangerous team that has scored at least three goals in four consecutive games and is ranked 11th in the league with a 3.29 goals-for average.
--Taavi PailkSource: Sportsnet
November 15, 2025
Washington Capitals defenseman John Carlson (upper body) won't play in Saturday's matchup against the New Jersey Devils, Sammi Silber of The Hockey News reports. He was initially regarded as a game-time decision for the contest. Carlson has recently put together a five-game point streak and remains a highly productive player even during his 17th NHL campaign. In 17 outings, Carlson has produced 14 points (four goals, 10 assists). The veteran blue-liner also ranks third on the Washington team with 26 blocks, so his presence will be missed at both ends on Saturday night. Trevor van Riemsdyk will rejoin the Capitals blue line against New Jersey after sitting out a pair of contests as a healthy scratch.
--Taavi PailkSource: Sammi Silber
November 15, 2025
Cincinnati Bengals kicker
Evan McPherson has been a more consistent option over the last few weeks. Over the last three games, McPherson has made 7-of-8 field goal attempts, while connecting on all 12 extra point kicks during that span. The Bengals offense has been moving the ball better lately with
Joe Flacco under center. They head into a matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 11. McPherson knocked down seven kicks during their last meeting. Given his recent success, McPherson is worth a look as a streaming option for fantasy managers in need of a kicker in Week 11.

November 15, 2025
Buffalo Sabres defenseman Rasmus Dahlin (personal) will return from a three-game absence on Saturday against the Detroit Red Wings. The Swedish blue-liner exited the lineup last week for personal reasons. Now that he's back, Dahlin is set to feature heavily at both ends for the Sabres on Saturday. In 14 appearances, Dahlin has registered nine points (one goal, eight assists), 38 shots, 17 blocks, and 12 hits, averaging 24:27 of ice time. Due to Dahlin's return, Bowen Byram will have a smaller role in the Sabres defense, dropping down to the second power-play unit.
--Taavi PailkSource: Buffalo Sabres
November 15, 2025
Tennessee Titans wide receiver
Van Jefferson has been a non-factor in the offense over the last few weeks. Jefferson has seen increased playing time with
Calvin Ridley (hamstring) missing each of the last three games. During that time, Jefferson has been held to six receptions for 68 yards and has been held out of the end zone. Right now, Ridley is questionable for the upcoming Week 11 matchup against the Houston Texans. If he sits, Jefferson will probably play over 80 percent of the offensive snaps, but that hasn't helped his fantasy value. Jefferson should be viewed as a touchdown-dependent option for Week 11.
--Andy WebbSource: Pro Football Reference
November 15, 2025
New Jersey Devils forward Jack Hughes is expected to miss eight weeks after undergoing successful finger surgery on Saturday. On Thursday, Hughes cut his finger during a team dinner. The team plans to re-evaluate Hughes in six weeks. Losing Hughes is a major setback for the Metropolitan Division-leading Devils. He ranks first on the team with 10 goals and 20 points after 17 games. Dawson Mercer is set to center the second line until Hughes returns. His comeback likely won't happen before mid-January. Additionally, Hughes' absence will put more pressure on Nico Hischier to overcome his slump. Entering Saturday's game against the Washington Capitals, Hischier has finished scoreless five times in his last seven appearances.
--Taavi PailkSource: ESPN
November 15, 2025
Chicago Bears tight end
Cole Kmet (back) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Minnesota Vikings. He was limited to begin the week, but has been cleared to play after getting in back-to-back full practice sessions. Despite being active, Kmet hasn't been much of a factor in the offense lately. In fact, Kmet has been held to one reception in each of his last four games. He continues to split up reps with
Colston Loveland who has been the much better fantasy option. At the moment, it's tough to imagine Kmet having much fantasy value going forward. He'll be a touchdown-dependent option for Week 11.
--Andy WebbSource: Pro Football Reference
November 15, 2025
Arizona Cardinals wide receiver
Xavier Weaver is expected to see an expanded role during the upcoming Week 11 matchup against the San Francisco 49ers. Weaver has barely played this season, and sat out last week's game due to an ankle issue. He appears to be healthy now and ready to make an impact. Weaver could be asked to step up with
Marvin Harrison Jr. (appendix) ruled out for Sunday's game. He figures to serve as the third wideout behind
Michael Wilson and
Greg Dortch. Weaver hasn't done enough on the field to warrant starting this weekend.
--Andy WebbSource: Pro Football Reference
November 15, 2025
Arizona Cardinals tight end
Elijah Higgins has seen an increased role on offense over the last few weeks. Over the last two games, Higgins has hauled in five of his six targets for 49 yards. Despite that, he remains the backup to
Trey McBride, who is one of the best tight ends in the league. It's possible that Higgins does see a slightly larger workload with
Marvin Harrison Jr. (appendix) out in Week 11. Normally, Higgins has been playing about 40 percent of the offensive snaps. There's a chance that does increase, but probably not by too much. Higgins is a desperation deep league option for the Week 11 matchup against the San Francisco 49ers.
