  • TEN Wide Receiver #15
    Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players
    Nick Westbrook-Ikhine caught 2-of-4 targets for 39 yards and a touchdown in a Week 8 loss to the Lions.
    With DeAndre Hopkins out of town, Westbrook-Ikhine has re-emerged as a factor in the Tennessee Titans passing attack. In addition to his one touchdown run, Westbrook-Ikhine was also targeted on a goal-line fade from the one-yard line. The Titans figure to be trailing often, so the 27-year-old could be a factor in deeper formats if you’re hurting at receiver.
  • SEA Wide Receiver #14

    Saints HC Mike Macdonald said DK Metcalf (knee) is expected to practice on Wednesday.
    If he doesn’t practice, it will mark the first time Metcalf has been on the practice field since suffering a Grade 1 MCL sprain in Week 7’s win over the Falcons. Metcalf didn’t play in Weeks 8 or 9, and had the Week 10 bye to get in some additional rest. There’s a good chance he’ll be ready to go in Week 11 against the 49ers if he can get on the field this week. Wednesday’s injury report will be one to watch, but Metcalf is undoubtedly trending in the right direction.
  • HOU Defensive Tackle #97
    Texans DL Mario Edwards was reinstated from his four-game suspension.
    Edwards was suspended for violating the league’s substance abuse policy but can now rejoin the team ahead of Week 11’s game against the Cowboys. Edwards has totaled 18 tackles and two sacks in the six games he’s appeared in this season. He should resume his role as a starter along the interior now that he’s back.
  • LAC Wide Receiver #9
    Chargers coach Jim Harbaugh said the reason WR DJ Chark played just one snap on Sunday was “more of an affirmation for what the receiver room is doing.”
    Not that we think there were a lot of long-term Chark believers out there still, but it doesn’t appear he’s going to emerge in the Chargers’ receiver pecking order without injuries ahead of him. Chark is droppable in all but the deepest of leagues at this point.
  • PHI Tight End #88
    Eagles listed TE Dallas Goedert (ankle) as a DNP on Monday’s estimated practice report.
    Goedert made his long-awaited return from injury in Week 10 against the Cowboys and wound up catching 2-of-3 passes for 25 yards and a touchdown. This ankle injury is a new one for the veteran tight end, so we’ll see what the team lists him as on Tuesday when they actually take to the practice field. Goedert will be a fringe TE1/TE2 if he can play against the Commanders on Thursday night.
  • PHI Wide Receiver #6
    Eagles listed DeVonta Smith (hamstring) as DNP on Monday’s estimated practice report.
    Smith was a DNP for two of the team’s three practices last week but still suited up to play in Week 10 against the Cowboys. With Monday’s report being an estimation, fantasy managers shouldn’t read too much into this just yet. However, if he’s not able to get on the practice field before Thursday’s game, Smith could be at risk of missing an NFC East tilt with the Commanders.
  • WAS Running Back #8
    Brian Robinson was limited in Monday’s practice.
    It is, as usual on Mondays, an estimation. Robinson was questionable last week after three limited practices, so this status is just preparing us for more of the same. Coach quotes throughout the week will be important context, but after two straight weeks of limited-limited-limited-questionable, it’s hard to believe Robinson will be a go against the Eagles unless the Commanders just steadfastly believe that the game is so important that Robinson must play. Austin Ekeler would get the majority of the work if Robinson misses a third straight game.
  • SEA Defensive Tackle #96
    Seahawks claimed DL Brandon Pili off waivers from the Dolphins.
    Pili played only 69 defensive snaps this year for the Dolphins as a rotational run-down lineman. The former USC DT has been buried deep on the Dolphins depth chart for the first two years of his pro career. He’ll get a crack at the same role for the Seahawks, who could desperately use someone to provide a positive boost in run defense.
  • SEA Safety #24
    Seahawks placed DB K’Von Wallace (ankle) on injured reserve.
    Wallace has been a rotational player for Seattle at safety this year, with 127 defensive snaps across nine games. He has nine tackles so far and will miss at least the next four weeks with his ankle injury.
  • DAL Quarterback #10
    Cowboys coach Mike McCarthy said Cooper Rush would start for Dallas against the Texans in Week 11.
    He did note that the Cowboys are signing a third quarterback. McCarthy said after Week 10’s loss that the team is “not there yet” on Trey Lance becoming the starter. It seems like this could eventually become a quagmire, and the Cowboys have created such limited fantasy value this year that it’s easy to avoid the situation. Lance would have the most fantasy upside of the two as a starter, while Rush is a bottom-end superflex play.
  • DET Tight End #87
    Lions coach Dan Campbell said he is “hopeful” that Sam LaPorta (shoulder) can play in Detroit’s Week 11 game against the Titans.
    He’ll be “day to day,” per Campbell. We’ll probably need to see some practice statuses before we have a good handle on his Week 11 status, but it is encouraging that Campbell has not seemed too concerned about LaPorta’s status going forward. Fantasy managers that haven’t already disgustedly tossed LaPorta off their rosters may need to consider backup plans for Week 11, but LaPorta’s shoulder injury doesn’t look likely to be a long term issue. It may not even be a short-term one.
