Cincinnati Bengals defensive end Trey Hendrickson (neck) is not at practice on Thursday after logging a limited session on Wednesday. The 2023 first-team All-Pro is dealing with a neck injury that could affect his Week 11 availability for Sunday night's contest against the Los Angeles Chargers. However, his Friday practice status and game designation will tell us whether he's at real risk of being inactive. The 29-year-old has 11 sacks in 10 games this season after logging 17.5 sacks in 2023. Needless to say, he's a critical piece of the Bengals' struggling defense, and his absence against Justin Herbert's ascending offense would be significant.

Dynasty | Vikings quarterback JJ McCarthy had a second surgery to repair damage in his knee. Dynasty Analysis: While this may sound terrible, it really isn't that concerning as it won't affect his timeline much. The bigger concern for McCarthy managers is the fact Sam Darnold has played really well this season, making McCarthy more of a luxury at the moment. Regardless, he should get his chance to start next season on time unless Darnold really sets the league on fire here over the second half of the season and forces Minnesota to change course. His dynasty value is stable.

Denver Broncos WR Josh Reynolds (hand) fully participated in practice Thursday, Nov. 14.

Fantasy Spin: Fantasy players should monitor the situation to see if Reynolds will be activated from the Reserve/Injured before the Week 11 game. He will see a few targets if he is cleared to play and could be a possible flex option in deeper leagues.

Cincinnati Bengals LB Joe Bachie (hip), OG Alex Cappa (illness), DE Trey Hendrickson (neck) and WR Charlie Jones (groin) did not participate in practice Thursday, Nov. 14. OT Orlando Brown (leg, knee), DT B.J. Hill (knee) and LB Logan Wilson (quadriceps) were limited during practice.

Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud (hand) was listed on the Week 11 injury report with a right-hand injury, but he was able to practice in full and should be fine to play in the Monday night game against the Dallas Cowboys. Stroud had a disappointing finish to the Week 10 loss to the Detroit Lions, ultimately going 19-for-33 for 232 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions. However, he's set to get top wideout Nico Collins (hamstring) back from Injured Reserve this week and has a fantastic bounce-back matchup against the disappointing Cowboys defense on tap. Dallas' defense has allowed the fourth-most fantasy points per game to the QB position this year, giving Stroud clear QB1 upside this weekend for his fantasy managers. Overall, Stroud has been a disappointment after taking the league by storm in 2023. He's averaging 14.6 fantasy points per game, which ties him for 23rd among QBs with Aaron Rodgers.

Minnesota Vikings running back Aaron Jones (ribs) was limited in Thursday's practice for the second straight day this week. Jones missed almost a quarter of action in the Week 10 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars due to a rib injury, but X-rays came back negative, and he was able to return to the contest. The 29-year-old may have to deal with some pain, but all signs point to him suiting up in Week 11 on Sunday to face the Tennessee Titans on the road. If for some reason Jones was limited or out this weekend, the Vikings would likely split their backfield with Cam Akers and Ty Chandler. Jones only has two rushing touchdowns in his first year with the Vikings, but he also has rushed for 653 yards on 142 carries while catching 28 passes for 258 yards and another TD in nine games. If active this weekend, he should be locked into fantasy lineups as an RB2.

Miami Dolphins WR Tyreek Hill (wrist) was limited at practice on Thursday, Nov. 14, after not taking part the day before.

Fantasy Spin: The upgrade in participation puts Hill on track to play, but we'll be keeping an eye on Friday's practice report just in case. Between playing banged-up and the injury to Tua Tagovailoa earlier in the season, it has been a nightmare campaign for Hill, who has just two scores and one single 100-yard game all season. He's more of a low-end WR2 option with elite upside at this point, and that's really only because of his reputation. In reality, his production is that of a flex option.

Baltimore Ravens S Kyle Hamilton (ankle), DT Travis X. Jones (ankle) and CB Arthur Maulet (calf) were limited during practice Thursday, Nov. 14. CB Jalyn Armour-Davis (knee), DE Brent Urban (concussion) and LB Kyle Van Noy (illness) fully participated in practice.

Houston Texans DE Will Anderson Jr. (ankle), DE Denico Autry (rest), DT Folorunso Fatukasi (foot), CB Kamari Lassiter (concussion) and CB Derek Stingley Jr. (hip) did not take part in practice on Thursday, Nov. 14. Also, LB Azeez Al-Shaair (knee), WR Nico Collins (hamstring), OT Blake Fisher (concussion), LB Jake Hansen (ankle), RB Dameon Pierce (groin) and OT Laremy Tunsil (knee) were limited and CB Jeff Okudah (quadriceps) and QB C.J.

Baltimore Ravens QB Lamar Jackson (knee) was limited during practice Thursday, Nov. 14.

Fantasy Spin: Jackson probably is receiving some time off and does not appear to be in any danger of missing the Week 11 game. He has not posted great numbers against the Pittsburgh Steelers during his career but is still a must-start option in all fantasy leagues.

From TheHuddle

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (knee, rest) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice while being rested due to a minor knee injury. There's really nothing to see here. Jackson will be just fine for a big divisional contest this Sunday against the Pittsburgh Steelers, a team he has struggled against in his career. The 27-year-old is coming off a 290-yard, four-touchdown performance in the one-point win over the division-rival Cincinnati Bengals last Thursday night. Jackson is currently the front-runner for a second straight MVP award and is the QB1 in overall fantasy scoring through 10 weeks. In his last four games, Jackson has thrown 14 touchdowns and no interceptions, and he's had three games with at least four touchdown passes. The matchup isn't great against Pittsburgh, but Jackson needs to be locked into all fantasy lineups in Week 11.

Minnesota Vikings QB Sam Darnold (elbow) practiced in full on Thursday, Nov. 14, after being limited the day before.

Fantasy Spin: The upgrade in participation erases any concern for the Vikings signal-caller. He's a high-end QB2 entering Week 11.

Kansas City Chiefs PK Harrison Butker (knee) is expected to be sidelined for three to four weeks because of a knee injury and likely will be placed on the Reserve/Injured list, according to a source. He is scheduled to undergo surgery to repair his meniscus injury.

Tennessee Titans CB L'Jarius Sneed (quadriceps), OT Leroy Watson (back) and CB Justin Hardee (groin) did not take part in practice on Thursday, Nov. 14. Also, RB Tony Pollard (rest) was limited and LB Arden Key (back), CB Roger McCreary (knee) and DT Jeffery Simmons (rest) practiced in full.

The Kansas City Chiefs placed kicker Harrison Butker (knee) on Injured Reserve due to a knee injury on Thursday and signed kicker Spencer Shrader off the New York Jets' practice squad in a corresponding move, according to sources. Butker will now be forced to miss at least the next four games, which means the earliest he'll be eligible to return will be on Dec. 15 on the road against the Cleveland Browns in Week 15. The 29-year-old was heading into Week 11 action as a top-10 fantasy kicker while making 18 of his 20 field-goal tries and 21 of his 22 extra-point attempts in nine games. It's a big blow to KC's special-teams kicking unit, as Shrader will be a big drop-off in talent moving forward for the Chiefs' offense. Fantasy managers with a realistic shot at making the postseason will probably want to stash Butker in an IR spot if they have the room.UPDATE: Butker will have a procedure to clean up his left meniscus and is expected to miss three to four weeks.

From RotoBaller

Kansas City Chiefs RB Kareem Hunt (knee) practiced in full for the second straight day on Thursday, Nov. 14.

Fantasy Spin: Hunt has been operating at an RB1 level since signing with the Chiefs, but his role could be reduced soon with the impending return of Isiah Pacheco (ankle), who could split work 50/50 with Hunt, or something close to that. However, head coach Andy Reid has said that Pacheco is unlikely to play this week, so fire up Hunt, per usual.

From TheHuddle

New York Jets QB Aaron Rodgers (hamstring, knee) fully participated in practice Thursday, Nov. 14.

Fantasy Spin: Rodgers did not have much success last week but his 15 touchdowns on the season are tied for eighth in the NFL in that category. He can be an option in two-quarterback leagues but should not be used in standard leagues.
