Raiders WR Davante Adams (abdomen) was limited for the 2nd straight practice on Thursday. There's been nothing to suggest that his availability for this weekend's game vs. the Broncos is in question, but we'll get another update on Adams' status tomorrow.
Vikings WR Justin Jefferson (toe) remained limited in Thursday's practice. We've still heard no concern about his availability for this weekend's game vs. the Cowboys, but Jefferson's status is worth checking back on tomorrow.
The Chiefs placed WR Mecole Hardman (abdomen) on IR. We still don't have any details on his injury, but he's out at least the next 4 games. Hardman is droppable in most fantasy leagues. His absence opens up opportunity for WR Kadarius Toney -- although it's worth noting that WR Justin Watson ran more routes than Toney last week. Toney should be owned in all fantasy leagues at this point, but Watson is also worth stashing in deeper setups.
Cowboys RB Ezekiel Elliott (knee) is expecting to return for Sunday's game vs. the Vikings, according to ESPN's Ed Werder. “I’m definitely very optimistic about this week," Elliott said Thursday. "Barring any setbacks the next couple of days, I’m feeling good… I think I’m in a good spot.” Elliott is expected to wear a brace on that injured knee, per Werder. We're expecting his workload to be scaled back at least a little, leaving Zeke as just a RB3 in Week 11 fantasy lineups.
Ravens TE Mark Andrews (knee, shoulder) was asked Thursday if he'll play vs. the Panthers this weekend and said, "You never know. I’ve been dying to get out there.” Hmm. Not exactly the answer we were hoping for. We'll continue to track Andrews' status over the next few days, but fantasy owners should at least have a backup plan in place in case Andrews misses Sunday's game.
The NFL is moving Sunday's Bills-Browns game to Detroit, according to The Athletic's Tim Graham. Buffalo is expected to get pounded with 4+ feet of snow over the next few days. Moving from those conditions to a dome is obviously great news for all of the fantasy players in this game.
The Eagles have signed former Buccaneers DT Ndamukong Suh to a 1-year deal. The move comes just days after Philly allowed Washington's rushing offense to dominate time of possession in the team's 1st loss of the season. We'll see how much Suh actually helps that area, though. According to ESPN's Seth Walker, Suh ranked 69th among 70 DTs in run-stop win rate last season.
Packers WR Randall Cobb (ankle) is expected to be activated and play vs. the Titans tonight, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Cobb has been out since suffering a high-ankle sprain back in Week 6. He operated as Green Bay's primary slot receiver over the first 5 games of the season but had just 1 useful fantasy outing. Cobb can be left on waiver wires.
Chargers TE Gerald Everett (groin) got in a limited practice on Wednesday. It's encouraging news after he was knocked out early in Sunday night's loss to the 49ers -- and seemingly gives Everett a solid chance to play vs. the Chiefs this Sunday night. We'll update his status again tomorrow.
Chargers WRs Mike Williams (ankle) and Keenan Allen (hamstring) were listed as limited participants in Wednesday's practice. HC Brandon Staley said both guys took part in individual drills. We'll see how they progress leading up to Sunday night's game vs. the Chiefs. QB Justin Herbert could certainly use his top 2 WRs.
Chiefs WRs JuJu Smith-Schuster (concussion), Marquez Valdes-Scantling (illness) and Mecole Hardman (abdomen, illness) missed Wednesday's practice. Valdes-Scantling should be fine for Sunday night's game vs. the Chargers, but Smith-Schuster and Hardman are iffy. Their absences would likely mean a significant role for WR Kadarius Toney.
Steelers RB Najee Harris (knee) put in a full practice on Wednesday. HC Mike Tomlin said Tuesday that Harris was dealing with "knee discomfort," but it's obviously not a major issue. Harris should be ready for his usual workload vs. the Bengals on Sunday.
As expected, Bengals WR Ja'Marr Chase (hip) did not practice on Wednesday. He was still on crutches as of Monday, and the latest report has the Bengals hoping for a Week 12 return.
Cowboys RB Ezekiel Elliott (knee) remained limited in practice on Wednesday. He was limited all 3 days last week before missing the Packers game. Zeke's status for Sunday's contest vs. the Vikings remains uncertain.
Vikings WR Justin Jefferson (toe) was limited in Wednesday's practice. We don't have any other information on the toe issue, but we'd have likely heard something by now if it was serious. Jefferson can stay penciled into Week 11 fantasy lineups. We'll get another update on his status tomorrow.
Broncos WR Jerry Jeudy (ankle) did not practice on Wednesday. While he reportedly avoided a significant injury, his availability for this weekend's game vs. the Raiders is up in the air. For now, fantasy owners should prepare as if Jeudy won't play in that one. We'll update his status again tomorrow.
Lions RB D'Andre Swift (ankle, shoulder) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice. It's an upgrade over his limited participation last Wednesday. Swift seems to be trending in the right direction but remains a risky fantasy play until we actually see him get ample volume on a Sunday.
Rams QB Matt Stafford (concussion) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice. He's evidently still in the protocol but is well on his way to being cleared for this weekend's game vs. the Saints.
Patriots WR DeVante Parker (knee) got in a limited practice on Wednesday. That gives him a shot to return for this weekend's game vs. the Jets. Parker has been sidelined since the 1st game vs. the Jets back in Week 8.
Jets WR Corey Davis (knee) did not practice on Wednesday. HC Robert Saleh said prior to the Week 10 bye that Davis had a shot to return for this weekend's game vs. the Patriots, but he's not off to a promising start. We'll see if Davis is able to get on the field tomorrow.
