Gadsden gets the best possible start to the week as the Chargers list him as a full participant for Wednesday’s practice. Despite not returning in Week 10 against the Steelers, Gadsden’s MRI did not show any major issues and is now participating fully in practice. He is now on track to play Week 11 against the Jaguars, where he should be in the low-end TE1 range for fantasy purposes.

Adams did not practice Wednesday. The veteran wideout left Week 10 late in the game while holding his back in pain. McVay later told reporters that he could have returned if needed. Adams is up to nine receiving touchdowns this year after scoring another last week. Even as the clear WR2 in LA’s offense, he is pushing for a WR1 ranking heading into a must-win game versus the Seahawks.

Although it is only Wednesday, this is unfortunate. The Lions’ offense has maintained good health thus far. Hopefully, LaPorta is back at practice tomorrow and can play in Week 11 against the Eagles. The Lions field one of the NFL’s deepest pass-catcher corps. Pulling LaPorta out of the lineup would result in increased opportunities for WR Amon-Ra St. Brown, WR Jameson Williams and RB Jahmyr Gibbs.

Stevenson got in some limited practices this week, a sign that he is making progress. The short turnaround to Thursday’s game was likely the biggest factor in him being shut down for Week 11. TreVeyon Henderson will draw the start once again. Henderson ran for 147 yards and two scores last week. He will sit in the middle of the RB2 ranks for his date with the Jets.

Purdy was limited on Wednesday. We expect him to upgrade to full participation on Thursday if his return-to-play plan remains on track. 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan told reporters that the team “will have aggressive work for Purdy, as they build toward him playing.” If active, Purdy would be viable as a borderline QB1/2 against the Cardinals.

Kincaid suffered the hamstring issue in Week 10’s game against the Dolphins and did not return. He was later reported to be “week to week” with the issue. All signs point to him missing Week 11 against the Bucs. Dawson Knox and Jackson Hawes will see more work in his absence. Knox will be a low-end TE2 as the team’s spot-starter.

Herbert was injured in Week 10 against the Steelers when two defenders brought the Chargers’ quarterback to the ground. The first tackler pinned Herbert’s left foot from the outside, causing the classic roll-up injury mechanism often associated with high-ankle sprains. The other tackler hit Herbert from behind, landing on the quarterback’s outstretched lower right leg. Herbert was then seen getting both ankles taped after the play. Regardless, his participation in Wednesday’s practice puts him firmly on track to play in Week 11. High-ankle sprains limited Herbert’s rushing productivity in 2024. Hopefully, that aspect of his game is not impacted this time around. It would be great to see him practicing in full by tomorrow. He is a QB1 against the Jaguars.

The Ravens rarely reveal more than they are required to regarding injuries. We do not yet know why Jackson is sore, be it joint soreness, a contusion, another type of injury, etc., though the team expects Jackson to practice on Thursday after sitting out on Wednesday. If active, the electric dual-threat quarterback can be started as an elite QB1. It would be nice to see him practicing in full by the end of the week.

Per Wilson, Davis Mills is prepping to start in Week 11 against the Titans. Mills drew the start last week and pulled off a miraculous comeback over the Jags. The Texans scored 26 unanswered points in the fourth quarter, punctuated by a 14-yard rushing touchdown with less than a minute left on the clock. His heroics likely won’t be needed this week. Even without Stroud, Houston should have no issues handling business versus the Titans. Mills will remain buried in the QB2 ranks.

As ESPN’s Jamison Hensley notes, Jackson took a few hard hits on Sunday versus the Vikings. He was never listed with an injury and did not miss any snaps. Jackson previously missed a handful of games with a hamstring issue this year. We won’t find out what his latest issue is until the Ravens drop their first injury report of the week later today. The hope is that he didn’t re-aggravate the hamstring injury in Week 10. Tyler Huntley would be in line to start if Jackson misses more time.
