  • NYJ Wide Receiver #5
    Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players
    All three of the Jets’ starting wide receivers are questionable to play, though Wilson practiced in full practice and is expected to play. Wilson could handle a hefty workload if he is indeed cleared to play, as expected, and one or two of the others are limited or ruled out. Wilson is a WR2 this week.
  • KC Running Back #9
    Not much of a surprise after he sat out Friday with what Andy Reid called a “tight groin.” This has officially waded into “we’ll see” territory over the weekend. Emmett Johnson would be a low-end RB1 with a good workload if Walker is ruled out ahead of Sunday’s games.
  • NE Wide Receiver #1
    Despite his uncertain status, Brown, who was limited in all three practices during the week, will make the trip across the Atlantic Ocean with the Pats before their game in Munich, Germany. The veteran has missed two straight contests, and New England may decide to rest him once again before the team’s Week 11 bye. Should Brown suit up, he would sit in the WR2/WR3 tiers against a Detroit secondary that’s improved lately but has been generally friendly to receivers most of the season. If Brown can’t go, DeMario Douglas would take that baton as the top target; Mack Hollins, Efton Chism, and Kyle Williams would see a boost into stronger Flex territory, and tight end Hunter Henry would slot into a more stream-worthy status.
  • TEN Wide Receiver #14
    Head coach Robert Saleh said he is hopeful Tate will be able to return in Week 11 when the Titans visit the Cowboys, but his availability for that game will be determined once the Titans begin prepping for Dallas. In the meantime, the Titans will likely go with Wan’Dale Robinson and Chimere Dike as their top two wideouts after the pair led the team in routes run in Week 8 against the Bengals, with Elic Ayomanor also seeing some work (30 routes). Playing against a stout Jaguars defense will make all of the Titans’ receivers hard to trust as anything more than WR3/WR4 plays, while TE Gunnar Helm could also see more work after earning a season-high eight targets vs. the Bengals.
  • NYJ Wide Receiver #5
    Glenn said Wilson has one more step to clear before he is out of the league’s concussion protocol. Wilson missed last week’s game against the Chiefs due to his brain injury, but has practiced in a limited capacity twice this week and is trending toward a return. We will get a final update on Wilson once he has officially cleared the protocol, but fantasy managers can start him as a mid-to-high-end WR2 in a game that could feature plenty of points against a high-powered Bills offense.
  • BAL Quarterback #8
    On the short end of this timeline, Jackson could return in Week 16 against the Browns. On the long end, Jackson would be looking at returning around the Wild Card or Divisional Round of the playoffs if the Ravens make the postseason. This timeline closely aligns with the 6-9 week absence NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported earlier in the week. If this isn’t a season-ender for Lamar, it will be close, and how the Ravens perform over the next several weeks with Jacoby Brissett under center will likely determine whether the Ravens dress him for the final few weeks of the season, even if he is ready to go. Minter said that Jackson is “doing well” after suffering his injury in Week 8 against the Bills, which is encouraging, but we’re a long way from knowing if a return for Jackson is truly in the cards. The 4-5 Ravens have lost their last four games but hope to turn things around on Monday night when they play host to the Chargers.
  • NYG Wide Receiver #1
    Nabers was clearly not a point of emphasis in a game expected to carry significant weather impacts. Despite the weather subsiding in the second half, McCarthy remained fixed on Isaiah Likely, feeding the veteran tight end 11 targets. The matchup also played a role in the game plan, with the Commanders missing numerous key linebackers while blitzing at an above average rate. Nabers is in a good spot to bounce back against the Jaguars in Week 11, where he’ll return to WR1 status in fantasy circles.
  • NYG Tight End #9
    Likely as clearly the going-in game plan in a game expected to be heavily influenced by weather. The rain cleared in the first half but Likely remained the featured option through the air, likely influenced by heavy blitz rates and unrelenting pressure from the Washington defense. The 11-target game was the fifth time this season that the veteran tight end hit double-digit targets but the first time doing so with J.J. McCarthy under center. Likely remains a surefire TE1 ahead of a difficult matchup against the Jaguars in Week 11.
  • NYG Running Back #44
    Skattebo immediately returned to a workhorse role following the shortcomings of Devin Singletary in Week 10, the latter of whom saw but one opportunity to the 22 of Skattebo. The Skatt-man bookended halftime with a score from one yard out on the team’s final possession of the first half and a score from 13 yards out on the team’s first possession of the second half, earning two backflips in the process. The second-year back also escaped down the sideline for a 34-yard reception in the first quarter to pad his counting stats. Despite the resurgence in workload, Skattebo will be a borderline FLEX option in a difficult matchup against the pass-funnel Jaguars in Week 11.
  • NYG Quarterback #18
    McCarthy appeared to be in complete control throughout before a game-sealing interception with under a minute to play in a three-point game. He demonstrated plus pocket presence and made numerous dime-worthy throws, the most impressive of which was a 25-yard dart to rookie Malachi Fields that was put in the only place where Fields could come down with the ball, over one defender and underneath two more down the left sideline. McCarthy leaned heavily on Isaiah Likely, feeding the veteran tight end 11 targets in what appeared to be a matchup-based game plan in the face of an aggressive pass rush. The Giants fall to 5-3-1 with the loss and pass the first tie-breaker to the Commanders after the two teams’ tie earlier this season. The Giants get a difficult matchup against arguably the most well-rounded roster in the AFC when they host the Jaguars in Week 11, where McCarthy falls to a mid-range QB2 in fantasy circles.
