Bears OG Teven Jenkins (ankle) out, DE Montez Sweat (ankle) questionable vs. Pack

Fri Nov 15 4:01pm ET
Field Level Media

Chicago Bears left guard Teven Jenkins has been ruled out for Sunday against the Green Bay Packers because of an ankle injury, while defensive end Montez Sweat is questionable due to an ankle issue.

The Bears also said rookie offensive lineman Kiran Amegadjie (calf) will not play after he, like Jenkins, missed practice all week. Amegadjie has played as a reserve in four games for Chicago (4-5).

It wasn't all bad news for Chicago's offensive line, as starting tackles Braxton Jones (knee) and Darnell Wright (knee), who both were limited at practice Wednesday and Thursday, were full participants Friday and are expected to play Sunday.

"It's huge," Bears coach Matt Eberflus said Friday of Jones and Wright. "Those guys have a lot of experience. The continuity is there. Working with each other, next to each other, is there. I think it's important you have that. Those guys have played well."

Jones has not played since Oct. 27 after seven starts, while Wright last played on Nov. 3 and has eight starts.

Defensive back Tarvarius Moore (concussion) was listed as questionable after his progression from not practicing on Wednesday to limited on Thursday and a full participant on Friday.

Jenkins, 26, has not practiced all week. He has started all nine games this season for the Bears, who selected him in the second round of the 2021 NFL Draft. He has started 33 of 40 games in his career.

Sweat, 28, missed practice on Wednesday and was limited on Thursday before a full session on Friday.

He made the Pro Bowl last season after the Washington Commanders traded him to the Bears for a 2024 second-round pick. He has started all eight games he has played this season and has 16 tackles, 3.5 sacks, five tackles for loss and one forced fumble.

For his career, Sweat has 238 tackles, 45 sacks, 56 tackles for loss, one interception -- returned for a touchdown -- and 11 forced fumbles in 84 games (all starts) for Washington (2019-23) and Chicago.

Hot Plays, Fades and Sleepers: Week 11

Player Notes
Geno Smith Nov 15 3:50pm CT
Geno Smith

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith could have an incredible game or he could fall flat on his face in Week 11 against the San Francisco 49ers. The 49ers are No. 10 against opposing quarterbacks in fantasy in 2024. Smith has been inconsistent over his last few games. He was the QB3 in Week 9, but he did not finish higher than QB12 in his three games before that. Additionally, he has been throwing a lot of interceptions. He threw three in his last outing against the Los Angeles Rams. The 49ers have owned the Seahawks over the last several seasons and that seems unlikely to change in Week 11 as the 49ers are hitting their stride. The one hope for Smith is that the Seahawks are coming out of their bye. If they were able to fix some of their issues on offense, then Smith could have a productive game. Additionally, the Seahawks seem poised to get offensive tackle Abraham Lucas (knee) back this week which would be a huge boost to the offensive line and subsequently, Smith's protection.

DeAndre Hopkins Nov 15 3:50pm CT
DeAndre Hopkins

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins will face the Buffalo Bills in Week 11. Hopkins was listed on the injury report this week with a knee injury but practiced in full all week. The veteran receiver has been removed from the injury report and will be ready for the AFC matchup. Hopkins had an average performance against the Denver Broncos last week, catching four passes for 56 yards in the contest. The presence of Patrick Surtain II limited his upside, but Hopkins displayed what he could achieve with Mahomes in Week 9. The 32-year-old caught eight passes for 86 yards and two touchdowns against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 9. This week, Hopkins will have to face the Buffalo Bills defense, which ranks eighth in fantasy points allowed to opposing wide receivers this season. Considering the strength of both defenses, it may be a difficult matchup, but Hopkins can still be a difference-maker for fantasy managers. Hopkins is ranked WR23 in our RotoBaller Half-PPR rankings this week, placing him as a low-end WR2/high-end WR3. Fantasy managers should find a way to get him into their lineups this week.

Kenneth Walker III Nov 15 3:50pm CT
Kenneth Walker III

Seattle Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III should be an RB2 in fantasy in Week 11. The Seahawks will travel to San Francisco to play the 49ers who are vulnerable to opposing running backs in fantasy. Prior to the Seahawks' Week 10 bye, Walker had a couple of down games after setting the league on fire for several weeks before that. His rushing numbers over the last couple of games have been poor, but his passing game volume continues to keep him afloat in fantasy. With the Seahawks likely to be trailing for much of this game, Walker should see plenty of targets. Hopefully, he can get off to a solid start on the ground, especially with the Seahawks projected to have offensive tackle Abraham Lucas (knee) back in the lineup. Walker is an automatic start every week and he should deliver solid value once again in Week 11.

Jason Myers Nov 15 3:50pm CT
Jason Myers

Seattle Seahawks kicker Jason Myers has been held in check in fantasy recently as the offense has struggled. He has been a relatively accurate kicker in 2024; however, his opportunities have been inconsistent. The Seahawks play the San Francisco 49ers in San Francisco in Week 11. While the 49ers' defense is not as dominant as in recent years, it is still one of the better units in the NFL. The Seahawks will likely be playing catch up throughout most of the game, and the 49ers will likely limit Seattle's offensive output. As such, Myers is a risky play as a fantasy kicker this week. The hope is that the Seahawks fixed some offensive problems during their bye week in Week 10. However, you can likely find a better option than Myers on waivers for Week 11.

Michael Mayer Nov 15 3:50pm CT
Michael Mayer

Las Vegas Raiders tight end Michael Mayer (personal) has a chance at making his return to the field against the Miami Dolphins in Week 11. Mayer hasn't played since September due to a personal matter. However, it sounds like he's on the verge of returning as Mayer is listed as questionable for this weekend. He's hauled in four of his seven targets for 21 yards through three games this season. Mayer is unlikely to have much fantasy value with Brock Bowers emerging as the primary option at tight end. Mayer figures to have a minor role behind Bowers once he's cleared to play.

Romeo Doubs Nov 15 3:50pm CT
Romeo Doubs

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Romeo Doubs has been solid for Packers this season and looks to step up for the wide receiving corps against the Chicago Bears in Week 11. Doubs put back-to-back top-13 fantasy performances together in Week 6-7, but in the last two games, Doubs has a combined 11 targets, seven receptions, and 100 yards with zero touchdowns. He's been a background player despite being the Packers wide receiver consistently on the field running routes. With the team heading to Soldier Field to take on the Bears, Doubs faces a Chicago squad that has been notoriously tough on opposing receivers with cornerback Jaylon Johnson, who has allowed the second-lowest passer rating (46.8) on throws in his direction. Doubs is merely a flex option in fantasy this week, where you're hoping for some efficient volume or a touchdown reception.

Jayden Reed Nov 15 3:40pm CT
Jayden Reed

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Jayden Reed has been hot and cold this season, but looks to string a couple of great games together pre and post-bye as the Packers head to Soldier Field to take on the Chicago Bears. Reed put up his third 100-yard game in a row in the Packers' loss to the Lions in Week 9, but in the four weeks prior, Reed hadn't been top-24 fantasy wide receiver. He's been a bit inconsistent, but still is the Packers' best chance at a massive spike week from the wide receivers with his utilization for target-earning in the slot as well as downfield. With the Bears being excellent against slot receivers having given up the third-lowest fantasy per game to slot receivers, Week 11 represents a tough matchup for Reed. That takes his fantasy status down a bit to the WR2 range this week.

Tucker Kraft Nov 15 3:40pm CT
Tucker Kraft

Green Bay Packers tight end Tucker Kraft has been a very solid tight end for fantasy purposes this season and looks to keep up that standing when the Packers head to Chicago to take on the Bears in Week 11. Coming off the team's Week 10 bye week, Kraft is in a good spot to keep up his strong season where he's been a top-12 tight end in four of the last six games. While the target-earning potential hasn't quite been there for Kraft this season, he's making the most of his touches with four touchdowns in his past five games as a clear outlet for quarterback Jordan Love. The Bears are just middle of the road when it comes to defending tight ends as they're 15th in the NFL in tight end fantasy points allowed. Consider Kraft a low-end TE1 worth starting in the Packers' matchup with Chicago in Week 11.

Jaylen Warren Nov 15 3:40pm CT
Jaylen Warren

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Warren (back) is listed as questionable ahead of the Week 11 matchup against the Baltimore Ravens. Warren sat out of Thursday's practice due to a back issue and was able to get through a limited session on Friday. His status seems uncertain heading into this weekend's game which should mean more carries for Najee Harris. Warren rushed 14 times for 66 yards during last week's win over the Washington Commanders. Cordarrelle Patterson will likely see an uptick if touches if Warren sits, but he doesn't offer great upside. Harris is going to gain the most fantasy value from Warren's absence, but fantasy managers will have to check back for another update.

From RotoBaller

Bijan Robinson Nov 15 3:40pm CT
Bijan Robinson

Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson has been one of the top running backs in fantasy through the first 10 weeks of the season, especially given his heavy involvement in the passing game. Last week's performance marked the fifth consecutive contest in which the 22-year-old went over 100 total yards rushing and receiving and the seventh straight in which he caught at least three passes. The former first-round draft pick is up to six rushing and one receiving touchdowns on the season, while his 41 receptions give him the third-most among running backs. In Week 11, the second-year pro will face a Denver rush defense that has allowed the 14th-most fantasy points to RBs and was pushed around by Derrick Henry as recently as Week 9 to the tune of 23-106-2. With the Broncos better against the pass, the Falcons may lean on the ground game more than usual in Week 11, but given his ability to catch passes out of the backfield, either way they choose to go puts Robinson in a position to finish as a high-end RB1 in Week 11.

Jaxon Smith-Njigba Nov 15 3:40pm CT
Jaxon Smith-Njigba

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba had a huge game in Week 9 prior to the Seahawks' Week 10 bye. Without DK Metcalf (knee) in the lineup, Smith-Njigba caught seven passes for 180 yards and two touchdowns. He was certainly treated as the No. 1 wide receiver in the offense while Metcalf was out. However, Metcalf is on track to play in Week 11 in a tougher matchup against the San Francisco 49ers. The 49ers are the No. 10 team against opposing wide receivers in fantasy. Smith-Njigba has been inconsistent this season, but he has flashed his ability to be a high-end producer in fantasy on multiple occasions. There is no doubt that the 49ers will be able to score on Seattle's defense. As such, the passing volume should be high for the Seahawks which gives Smith-Njigba a chance at WR2 production even with Metcalf back in the lineup.

From RotoBaller

Tyler Lockett Nov 15 3:40pm CT
Tyler Lockett

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Tyler Lockett should be a flex option in Week 11 when the Seahawks visit the San Francisco 49ers. Lockett has consistently delivered close to, or more than, double-digit fantasy points in 2024 in PPR formats. That trend should continue in Week 11 in a game in which the Seahawks project to need to throw to keep up with an excellent 49ers offense. Lockett has been especially valuable when he scores a touchdown this season. The days of consistent WR2 production from Lockett are gone, but he continues to be a very important member of this offense as a chain-mover. Even with DK Metcalf (knee) set to return in Week 11, Lockett should not see a dip in target volume. In fact, Lockett's volume was lower in the two games that Metcalf missed than it had been all season. With several bye weeks this week, Lockett is a safe floor option.

Brian Thomas Jr. Nov 15 3:30pm CT
Brian Thomas Jr.

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr. (chest) appears ready to go ahead of the Week 11 matchup against the Detroit Lions. The rookie wideout was limited in practice all week, but it sounds like that won't stop him from suiting up. Thomas has been solid during his rookie campaign, but his fantasy value is going to take a major hit with Mac Jones under center for the Jags. Last week, Thomas hauled in two receptions for 12 yards in the loss to the Minnesota Vikings. Fantasy managers shouldn't expect better results until Trevor Lawrence (shoulder) returns to the field. Thomas falls into the WR4 conversation with Jones getting the nod this weekend.

From RotoBaller

Kareem Hunt Nov 15 3:30pm CT
Kareem Hunt

Kansas City Chiefs running back Kareem Hunt will take on the Buffalo Bills in Week 11. Hunt found himself on the injury report with a knee injury but practiced fully all week and has been removed from the report ahead of the contest. Hunt turned into another strong performance against the Denver Broncos in last week's contest. The veteran running back did not find much success on the ground, only gaining 35 yards on 14 carries, but he found success through the air. The 29-year-old hauled in seven catches for 65 yards against the Broncos. Hunt will have an easier matchup this week against the Buffalo Bills, who rank 31st in fantasy points allowed to opposing running backs this season. Hunt is ranked RB15 in our RotoBaller Half-PPR rankings this week, so start him as a high-end RB2. Fantasy managers will have to deal with the eventual return of Isiah Pacheco, but Hunt will have the backfield to himself for at least another week.

Najee Harris Nov 15 3:30pm CT
Najee Harris

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Najee Harris (ankle) has been removed from the injury report ahead of the Week 11 matchup against the Baltimore Ravens. Harris didn't practice to open the week, but appears ready to go after getting in a full practice on Thursday and Friday. The expectation is that Harris will continue seeing a heavy workload this weekend. He has seen 19 carries or more over each of the last three games. Harris rushed for over 100 yards in two of those games, so fantasy managers should continue to lean on him going forward.

Jordan Love Nov 15 3:20pm CT
Jordan Love

Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love is looking to shake some rust after the Week 10 bye as the Packers match up with their long-time rival Chicago Bears in Week 11. Love has been spotty at best in the past two weeks before their bye with a combined 18.6 fantasy points in matchups against the Jaguars and Lions. Having thrown multiple touchdowns in his first five starts, Love hasn't thrown a touchdown pass in almost a month. Not helping Love here is a tough matchup with Chicago, who represents a team that has allowed the third-fewest touchdowns to opposing quarterbacks and a lockdown cornerback in Jaylon Johnson. For fantasy, Love always has huge upside, but should be considered as a low-end QB or high-end QB2 where you may prefer to start a quarterback with a better matchup.

Travis Kelce Nov 15 3:20pm CT
Travis Kelce

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce will take on the Buffalo Bills in Week 11. Kelce had a strong performance against the Denver Broncos last week, totaling eight catches for 64 yards and a touchdown. The 35-year-old will now face a Buffalo defense that ranks 12th in fantasy points allowed to opposing tight ends. Regardless of the matchup, Kelce has been the focal point of the Kansas City offense since Rashee Rice went down with an injury. The Chiefs star tight end has scored at least 20 points the last three games in a PPR format. Kelce's ability to find soft spots in the zone allows Mahomes a safety valve to move the chains easily. Kelce is ranked TE1 in our RotoBaller Half-PPR rankings again this week. Fantasy managers should continue to start Kelce confidently.

Tank Bigsby

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Tank Bigsby (ankle) has been ruled out ahead of the Week 11 matchup against the Detroit Lions. Bigsby played through an ankle injury last week, but was barely seen on the field after exiting early in the contest. Now, Bigsby will sit out after missing practice this week, but hopefully this will be a one-game absence. Travis Etienne Jr. will be the lead back and figures to see a heavy workload on Sunday. He rushed 11 times for 44 yards during the loss to the Minnesota Vikings last week. Etienne hasn't been able to produce reliable fantasy value in quite some time. This will be a great chance for him to break out of his slump.

Patrick Mahomes Nov 15 3:10pm CT
Patrick Mahomes

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes will face the Buffalo Bills in Week 11. The 29-year-old found himself on the injury report with an ankle/hip injury but practiced fully all week and has been removed from the injury report ahead of the contest. Mahomes was trending up until he faced the tough Denver Broncos defense in Week 10. Mahomes passed for 266 yards and one touchdown in last week's contest at Arrowhead. The Chiefs quarterback will now take on a Buffalo Bills defense ranked fifth in fantasy points allowed to opposing quarterbacks this season. Despite these teams being two high-powered passing offenses in the past, this game has the makings of a defensive showdown. Kansas City and Buffalo have strong defenses and an affinity for running the ball to dominate time of possession. This week, Mahomes is ranked QB13 in our RotoBaller rankings, placing him outside QB1 territory. Fantasy managers may be disappointed with Mahomes if this contest turns into a defensive affair.

Josh Jacobs Nov 15 3:10pm CT
Josh Jacobs

Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs (quad) is off the injury report after putting in a full practice session and is good to go for Sunday's Week 11 divisional clash against the Chicago Bears. With two limited practice sessions on Wednesday and Thursday, Jacobs may still be a bit banged up even after the Packers' bye in Week 10. Jacobs has been solid for fantasy managers, but hasn't delivered much in the way of spike weeks with just two top-ten finishes among fantasy running backs in nine weeks. Against the Chicago Bears, Jacobs remains a workhorse running back who will see the bulk of carries and provide a solid floor double-digit fantasy point floor as a high-end RB2.
