CeeDee Lamb Expected To Suit Up On Monday Night
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb (back) is expected to suit up on Monday night against the Houston Texans. The 25-year-old popped up on the injury report with a back injury on Saturday, resulting in a limited practice session. However, head coach Mike McCarthy already indicated Lamb's injury was" not of high concern," so the latest update suggests he's nearly guaranteed to get on the field. Of course, anything can happen, and setbacks occur, meaning fantasy managers should have a backup plan just in case. If Lamb can't play on Monday, Jalen Tolbert, KaVontae Turpin, and Jake Ferguson would be the favorites to see an uptick in attention from Cooper Rush.

Harrison Butker Expected To Miss Minimum Time
Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker (knee) should return from Injured Reserve as soon as he is eligible to be activated, according to Jay Glazer of FOX Sports. That timeline would put him on track to play in Week 15 against the Cleveland Browns. Glazer noted that Butker tore his meniscus and had two potential surgery options: a full repair and a less extensive trim. A full repair would have ended Butker's season, but he and the Chiefs chose the surgery with the trim, so he should be good to go by Week 15.

Kadarius Toney Active For 2024 Debut
Cleveland Browns wide receiver Kadarius Toney is active for Sunday's Week 11 game against the New Orleans Saints. The 25-year-old was elevated from the practice squad on Saturday and will make both his Browns debut and his season debut on Sunday afternoon. Toney is expected to operate behind Jerry Jeudy, Elijah Moore, and Cedric Tillman, keeping him off the fantasy radar for the time being.

Tyler Boyd Suiting Up In Week 11
Tennessee Titans wide receiver Tyler Boyd (back) is officially active for Sunday's game against the Minnesota Vikings. He was a late addition to the injury report on Saturday, garnering a "questionable" designation despite being a full participant in practice all week long. Boyd has appeared in all nine games this year but hasn't caught a pass since Week 8 against Detroit. On the season, he has 21 catches, 184 yards, and zero touchdowns. He's off the fantasy radar in his current role behind Calvin Ridley on a struggling Titans squad.

E.J. Speed Active Against Jets Sunday
Indianapolis Colts linebacker E.J. Speed (knee) is officially active for Week 11 against the New York Jets. He had been listed as questionable but was trending in the right direction after logging a full practice on Friday. The 29-year-old has been productive in IDP fantasy leagues this season, amassing 88 tackles and one interception through nine games.

D'Onta Foreman Sidelined Against Saints
Cleveland Browns running back D'Onta Foreman (coach's decision) is a healthy scratch for Week 11 against the New Orleans Saints. With Nick Chubb now back to 100 percent and Jerome Ford and Pierre Strong Jr. playing well in their depth roles, there simply isn't room within Cleveland's backfield for Foreman, an NFL veteran. Fantasy managers can justify dropping him in most leagues.

Kyle Dugger Returns From Three-Game Absence Sunday
New England Patriots safety Kyle Dugger (ankle) is officially active for Week 11 against the Los Angeles Rams. He had been listed as questionable after logging three limited practices in a row. Dugger's presence on Sunday marks the end of a three-week absence for the talented defender. He'll provide a key reinforcement to the Patriots' defense as they look to slow down an offense featuring Cooper Kupp, Puka Nacua, and Kyren Williams.

K.J. Osborn A Healthy Scratch For Week 11
New England Patriots wide receiver K.J. Osborn (coach's decision) is a healthy scratch for Week 11 against the Los Angeles Rams. This is the fourth time this season that Osborn has been sidelined. The veteran receiver expressed interest in being moved at the trade deadline, but New England held onto him and is now making him inactive as they prioritize reps for some of their younger pass-catchers. Osborn should be dropped in all fantasy leagues.

Terron Armstead Suiting Up In Week 11
Miami Dolphins left tackle Terron Armstead (knee) is officially active for Sunday's game against the Las Vegas Raiders. He had been listed as questionable after missing three consecutive practices. The 33-year-old hasn't missed a snap since Week 4, and he'll look to extend that streak when the Dolphins host the Raiders in Miami. His presence is great news for fantasy managers who have Tua Tagovailoa, De'Von Achane, or Raheem Mostert in their lineups.

Harrison Bryant Inactive Amidst Teammate's Return
Las Vegas Raiders tight end Harrison Bryant (coach's decision) is a healthy scratch for Week 11 against the Miami Dolphins. Bryant had not been listed on the injury report, and his absence is a direct result of Michael Mayer (personal) returning from an extended absence on Sunday. Even with Mayer taking Bryant's place on the gameday roster, Brock Bowers remains the only Raiders tight end worth starting in fantasy football.

Isiah Pacheco Should Be Healthy By Week 12, Could Wait To Return
Kansas City Chiefs running back Isiah Pacheco (fibula) is expected to be healthy before next week's game against the Carolina Panthers, according to NFL.com's Ian Rapoport. This is a promising update, but it's important to note that Rapoport described Pacheco as "expected to be healthy" rather than "expected to play." In a follow-up post on X, Rapoport noted that the Chiefs have a short week in Week 13, so "it's a coaching decision for whether Pacheco plays" next Sunday against the Panthers. In any case, he expects Pacheco to be ready for his return from injured reserve, whether that comes in Week 12 against the Panthers or Week 13 against the Raiders. He'll rank as a high-end RB2 upon his return but could lose some opportunities to Kareem Hunt, who has performed quite well as the Chiefs' fill-in workhorse running back.

Pete Werner, Kool-Aid McKinstry Active In Week 11
New Orleans Saints linebacker Pete Werner (hand) and rookie cornerback Kool-Aid McKinstry (hamstring) are both active for the Week 11 game on Sunday versus the visiting Cleveland Browns. It's good news for a Saints defense that should be in play in fantasy leagues as a streaming option this weekend against a Browns offense that is being run by quarterback Jameis Winston. Cleveland's offensive line has been highly inconsistent and has allowed a league-high 43 sacks so far in 2024. Werner was expected to play despite being questionable after suffering a hand injury in the Week 10 win over the division-rival Atlanta Falcons. McKinstry will be returning to the Saints' secondary after missing each of the last two games due to his hamstring ailment. The 22-year-old should reclaim his starting spot opposite Alontae Taylor.

Amari Cooper Expected To Play Sunday, Usage TBD
Buffalo Bills wide receiver Amari Cooper (wrist) is expected to play against the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 11 despite being listed as questionable, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. However, Schefter was less certain about the veteran receiver's usage, saying, "We'll see if it's in full capacity." As a result, fantasy managers should feel comfortable deploying Cooper as nothing more than a WR3/FLEX. He has been productive when healthy, but a potential snap count or partial decoy role could limit some of his upside on Sunday.

Tyreek Hill Full-Go Sunday After Visiting Specialist
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill (wrist) stayed in Los Angeles to see a specialist following last Monday's game against the Rams, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero. Hill has been dealing with a lingering wrist issue since a joint practice with the Washington Commanders back in training camp. While it hasn't been enough to hold him out of a game yet, he has repeatedly appeared on the injury report. After visiting with the specialist, Pelissero notes that surgery is on the table for Hill, but it's unclear if an operation would even fix the injury. In the interim, Hill continues to manage his pain and play through his injury. He's officially active for Week 11 against the Las Vegas Raiders and will be a "full-go", according to Pelissero. The speedy receiver is looking to bounce back from last week's modest showing in which he caught three passes for 16 yards and a touchdown.

Cedrick Wilson Jr. Active, Mason Tipton A Healthy Scratch
New Orleans Saints wide receiver Cedrick Wilson Jr. (shoulder) is active on Sunday for the Week 11 contest against the Cleveland Browns, while rookie receiver Mason Tipton is a healthy inactive. With Chris Olave (concussion) on Injured Reserve and Rashid Shaheed (knee) out for the season, the Saints' receiving corps is extremely thin. Marquez Valdes-Scantling has essentially become quarterback Derek Carr's top receiving target now after going for three catches, 109 yards and two touchdowns in the Week 10 win over the division-rival Atlanta Falcons. Wilson, meanwhile, missed two of the last three games with hip and shoulder injuries, but he should have a significant role on Sunday against Cleveland in his return. Still, the 28-year-old should be considered a desperation flex option in deeper fantasy leagues in a Saints offense that runs through running back Alvin Kamara.

Jaylen Warren Suiting Up Against Ravens
Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Warren (back) is officially active for Week 11 against the Baltimore Ravens. Warren had been listed as questionable but was trending in the right direction ahead of kickoff. He missed practice on Thursday before returning in a limited capacity on Friday. The 26-year-old has operated as the clear backup to Najee Harris this season, totaling 55 carries for 217 rushing yards and 14 catches for 96 receiving yards over the course of seven games. He did have his best performance of the season last week, totaling 66 rushing yards and 29 receiving yards. He also added 56 kick return yards but lost a fumble. Warren ranks as a low-end fantasy RB3 versus Baltimore's strong run defense.

MyCole Pruitt Officially Sidelined Sunday
Pittsburgh Steelers tight end MyCole Pruitt (knee) is officially inactive for Week 11 against the Baltimore Ravens. He had been listed as doubtful. Pruitt endured a five-week absence earlier in the season, returned for three games, and is now sidelined again. He has appeared in five contests, catching just two of four targets for 19 yards. Pruitt's absence leaves Pat Freiermuth, Darnell Washington, and Connor Heyward as Pittsburgh's healthy options at tight end.

Davante Adams Active For Week 11
New York Jets wide receiver Davante Adams (wrist, illness) is officially active for Week 11 against the Indianapolis Colts. He had been listed as questionable. The veteran receiver missed two consecutive practices before returning in a full capacity on Friday. He has impressed through four games with the Jets, amassing 39 targets, 20 catches, 206 yards, and one touchdown. The 31-year-old ranks as a strong WR3/FLEX option against the Colts.

Michael Mayer Officially Returning Sunday
Las Vegas Raiders tight end Michael Mayer (personal) is active for Sunday's game against the Miami Dolphins. He had been listed as questionable despite being a full participant in practice this week. A personal matter had sidelined Mayer since Week 4, but he was activated from injured reserve on Saturday and is officially suiting up in Week 11. He'll presumably operate as the direct backup to Brock Bowers. Mayer remains off the fantasy radar for the time being.

Jaire Alexander Active For Packers Defense
Green Bay Packers cornerback Jaire Alexander (knee) is officially active on Sunday for the divisional contest at Soldier Field against the Chicago Bears in Week 11. Alexander came into Sunday's game with a questionable tag but will end up being active after being limited in practice all week. It's good news for Green Bay's secondary as they go up against a struggling Bears passing offense that just fired their offensive coordinator. The 27-year-old Alexander will be returning after missing the Week 10 contest. The oft-injured defensive back -- he's missed three games in 2024 after missing 10 last year -- will look to slow down Chicago's trio of receivers in DJ Moore, Keenan Allen and rookie Rome Odunze. The two-time Pro Bowler isn't on the IDP fantasy radar for starting lineups and has only 16 tackles (15 solo), two interceptions, seven pass breakups and a fumble recovery in his six games this year.
