  • DET Quarterback #16

    Jared Goff (ankle) did not practice Wednesday.
    Goff didn’t sound concerned when talking to reporters after the practice and noted that he expects to return to practice on Thursday. He rolled his ankle while being sacked early in the Lions’ Week 8 win over Tennessee. Goff managed to play through the issue despite limping on the field at times and being checked out by trainers between drives. He should be good to go by the end of the week, albeit with a bit less mobility in his game for Week 9.
  • MIA Wide Receiver #10

    NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport said Tyreek Hill (wrist) is “a true game-time decision” for Week 10’s game against the Rams.
    Tom Pelissero reported something similar on Sunday. Hill is going to attempt to play through a wrist injury he has been managing all season, but it sounds as if there’s a good chance he will sit after re-aggravating it on Friday. There are some unreliable dart throws fantasy managers can replace Hill with if he does miss Monday, with the Rams’ Demarcus Robinson likely being the best bet to hit, but Hill’s status will be one to monitor when inactives are announced 90 minutes before kickoff.
  • DAL Quarterback #4
    NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports Dak Prescott is seeking a second opinion on whether or not he should have surgery on his injured hamstring.
    It sounds like Prescott’s season is over regardless of what route he chooses, but according to Rapoport, there is a chance the quarterback could opt for rest and rehab, which could take 6-8 weeks rather than surgery. Rapoport added that it seems like Prescott is leaning toward having surgery and that his season is likely over either way.
  • HOU Wide Receiver #3
    Tank Dell caught 5-of-9 targets for 39 yards in the Texans’ Week 10 loss to the Lions, losing six yards on his lone carry.
    Dell and the Texans appeared to be cruising to a convincing upset over the Lions after taking a 23-7 lead into the half. Even while picking off Lions quarterback Jared Goff five times, the Texans were outscored 19-0 after the break to fall to 6-4. Never likely to be useful as a team’s top option through the air, Dell could find more room to maneuver once Nico Collins returns from a five-game absence, which appears likely to occur in Week 11 after the alpha wide receiver was activated from injured reserve this week. Dell will look to take advantage of a soft matchup against the Cowboys his next time out.
  • HOU Tight End #86
    Dalton Schultz caught 3-of-4 targets for 66 yards in the Texans’ Week 10 loss to the Lions.
    Schultz and the rest of the Houston offense started hot, jumping out to a commanding 23-7 lead in the first half. They ultimately squandered the lead and fell to 6-4 even though their defense picked off Lions quarterback Jared Goff five times. They can rest on the fact they still maintain a two-game lead on the division after every AFC South team lost in Week 10, but the organization surely expected more from the opportunity against the Lions. Up next for Schultz and the Texans are the Cowboys in Week 11.
  • HOU Wide Receiver #8
    John Metchie caught 5-of-6 targets for 74 yards and a touchdown in the Texans’ Week 10 loss to the Lions.
    A 23-7 halftime lead and five interceptions was not enough for the Texans to escape Week 10 with a victory after Detroit outscored Houston 19-0 after the break to steal away the win. Even so, Metchie notched his first professional touchdown after overcoming cancer his rookie season, offering flanking production opposite Tank Dell after Nico Collins was activated from injured reserve but announced as inactive against for the team’s game against the Lions. Metchie is likely to fall back to a tertiary role through the air once Collins returns, which appears likely to occur when the team faces the Cowboys in Week 11.
  • HOU Running Back #28
    Joe Mixon rushed 25 times for 46 yards and a touchdown in the Texans’ Week 10 loss to the Lions, adding 44 yards on two receptions.
    Mixon struggled to find any room to run against the stout Detroit defensive line, something that seemed to be masked by his production through the air and his touchdown until the Texans squandered a 23-7 halftime lead to fall to 6-4. Even so, fantasy managers have to be thrilled at the continued high usage for the veteran running back, who has operated as one of the only remaining true workhorse backs in the league this season, potentially returning one of the better fantasy profiles versus draft cost in fantasy drafts this offseason. Up next for Mixon and the Texans are the Cowboys on Monday Night Football in Week 11.
  • HOU Quarterback #7
    C.J. Stroud completed 19-of-33 passes for 232 yards, one touchdown, and two interceptions in the Texans’ 26-23, Week 10 loss to the Lions, adding five yards on his lone carry.
    Stroud and the rest of the Texans could do no wrong in the first half, taking a commanding 23-7 lead into the break. Their defense turned in five interceptions off Detroit quarterback Jared Goff, but they found no room on offense in the second half while being shutout in the final two frames. A missed field goal with under two minutes remaining gave the Lions excellent field position in a tied game, which gave them enough time and room to maneuver into field goal range to kick the winning points as time expired. The Texans became the first team since the 2021 Cardinals to register five interceptions and lose the game, falling to 6-4 and squandering an opportunity to take a commanding three-game lead in the division with only seven games yet to play. The Texans will look to regain the magic they had in the first half when they travel to Dallas to face the struggling Cowboys on Monday Night Football in Week 11.
  • DET Wide Receiver #9
    Jameson Williams caught 3-of-5 targets for 53 yards in the Lions’ Week 10 win over the Texans.
    Williams fell well behind both Amon-Ra St. Brown and Sam LaPorta in the target pecking order amidst first half struggles, eventually making two key grabs in the second half to aid in a ferocious comeback that had the Lions snatch victory from the clutches of defeat following a 23-7 deficit at the break. Williams made the catch of the night when he snared a ball between two defenders in the fourth quarter, maintaining possession while being sandwiched between defenders in a high-low collision, a play that eventually led to a St. Brown touchdown later in the drive. Williams could find better counting stats in a Week 11 matchup with the struggling Jaguars.
  • DET Wide Receiver #14
    Amon-Ra St. Brown caught 6-of-8 targets for 60 yards and a touchdown in the Lions’ Week 10 win over the Texans.
    St. Brown struggled with the rest of the team in the first half but served as quarterback Jared Goff’s go-to man with the team in comeback mode. The Lions became the first team since 2012 to win a game in which their quarterback threw five interceptions, outscoring the Texans 19-0 in the second half to complete the comeback on a last-second Jake Bates field goal. St. Brown and the rest of the offense are likely to find better success early in Week 11 when they host the Jaguars.
  • DET Running Back #5
    David Montgomery rushed 12 times for 32 yards and a touchdown in the Lions’ Week 10 win over the Texans, adding 24 yards on his lone reception.
    Montgomery had more carries than backfield mate Jahmyr Gibbs through three quarters, doing well to wear the relentless Houston defense down before giving way to the lightning to his thunder in the fourth quarter. Gibbs took over the game when it mattered most, but it was Montgomery that did a lot of the heavy lifting early. His touchdown saved an otherwise pedestrian fantasy performance, pushing his season total to seven on the ground this year. Montgomery could return better counting stats in Week 11 when the Lions host the underperforming Jaguars.
