Ravens star MLB Roquan Smith (hamstring) hurt vs. Steelers

Field Level Media

Baltimore Ravens star middle linebacker Roquan Smith exited Sunday's 18-16 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers due to a hamstring injury.

Smith left the field in the first minute of the fourth quarter and was soon ruled out of the contest.

Ravens coach John Harbaugh said he didn't have an update on Smith's injury during his postgame press conference.

Smith was dominating the game with 13 tackles -- including two for losses -- before the injury. It was his sixth double-digit tackle outing of the season.

Smith has 110 tackles in 11 games this season. The two-time Pro Bowl selection has topped 100 stops in all seven of his NFL seasons.

The 27-year-old Smith played his first 4 1/2 seasons with the Chicago Bears before being traded to the Ravens at the 2022 trade deadline.

Player Notes
Hayden Hurst Nov 17 6:20pm CT
Hayden Hurst

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver DJ Charkand tight end Hayden Hurst won't play in Sunday night's game against the Cincinnati Bengals. Both players are healthy. However, with receivers Joshua Palmer, Quentin Johnston, Ladd McConkey, and tight end Will Dissly all active, the move was made to give Hurst and Chark the night off. But considering Hurst has only seven catches and Chark doesn't have any this season, their absences won't have much of an impact on fantasy managers.

Anthony Richardson

Dynasty | Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson completed 20-of-30 passes for 272 yards with one touchdown and no interceptions, adding 32 rushing yards and two more scores in a win against the Jets. Dynasty Analysis: This may have been the best game he's played in his young career. After being benched for Joe Flacco, Richardson looked energized today and also in control, something we hadn't seen much of this season. The Jets area. mess, but this was a huge step in the right direction and should put his dynasty value drop to a sudden halt.

Breece Hall Nov 17 6:13pm CT
Breece Hall

Dynasty | Jets running back Breece Hall had 78 rushing yards, seven catches, 43 receiving yards and two touchdowns in a loss against the Colts. Dynasty Analysis: The Jets looked competitive in this one and much of the credit should go to Hall, who finally looked like a RB1 in fantasy leagues today. While this is just one game, Hall could be poised for a better second half of the year as the Jets look to get him involved since their Plan A has clearly not worked this season. His dynasty buy low window may have closed this afternoon.

Jerry Jeudy Nov 17 6:13pm CT
Jerry Jeudy

Dynasty | Browns wide receiver Jerry Jeudy had six catches for 142 yards and a touchdown in the Browns loss to the Saints. Dynasty Analysis: Jeudy had an 89-yard touchdown, but still had a big game without it as he had a team-leading 11 targets. He came into the game with a 33/418/1 line in nine games, so you could say this came out of nowhere. Jeudy clearly has a lot of talent and is still relatively young, but we'll need to see a few more big games before recommending him in lineups moving forward.

Taysom Hill

Dynasty | Saints hybrid player Taysom Hill had 138 rushing yards, eight catches, 50 receiving yards, and three touchdowns in a win against Cleveland. Dynasty Analysis: Well, here we go again. With Dennis Allen out in New Orleans, it seems the Saints may be willing to use Hill in a variety of crazy ways again. Today certainly worked out as Hill had one of his signature epic performances. If the Saints decide to deploy him this aggressively moving forward, he's going to be a big-time player who could decide some fantasy leagues this season. Stay tuned.

Jameis Winston Nov 17 6:13pm CT
Jameis Winston

Dynasty | Browns running back Nick Chubb had 50 rushing yards in a loss to the Saints. Dynasty Analysis: Chubb had a good matchup on paper and posted a healthy 4.5 yards per carry on the day. However, a negative game script put him on the bench for most of the game as Jameis Winston threw the ball 46 times on the day. Chubb has been decent since returning, but the Browns offense just isn't one to rely on at the moment. He should be on dynasty benches for the time being.

Cooper Kupp Nov 17 6:13pm CT
Cooper Kupp

Dynasty | Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua had seven catches for 123 yards and a touchdown in a win over New England. Dynasty Analysis: Nacua has missed much of the season, but he looked like his rookie self today, making a number of contested catches. He and Cooper Kupp (6/106/2) dominated targets with 19 combined and both look like viable fantasy starters moving forward, with Nacua having both more short and long-term upside. He's a solid hold in dynasty leagues.

Brock Bowers Nov 17 6:13pm CT
Brock Bowers

Dynasty | Raiders rookie tight end Brock Bowers had 13 catches on 16 targets for 126 yards and one touchdown in a loss against Miami. Dynasty Analysis: He's pretty good. Bowers was option 1, 2, and 3 on the day as the Raiders seem to be content just riding their rookie tight end each and every week. There are some veteran tight ends who could keep up with his production, but Bowers is quickly becoming the TE1 in dynasty leagues and it's really not close. He's nearly untouchable on rosters at this point.

Jonnu Smith Nov 17 6:13pm CT
Jonnu Smith

Dynasty | Dolphins tight end Jonnu Smith had six catches for 101 yards and two touchdowns in a win against the Raiders. Dynasty Analysis: Smith has always had a lot of talent, but it just hasn't translated to the field consistently. Today was different as Smith tied for the team lead in targets and made the most of them. He's still more TE2 than TE1, but the Dolphins are starting to roll again, making him a player with second half upside as we move through November. Smith is a decent hold in dynasty leagues.

Nick Westbrook-Ikhine Nov 17 6:13pm CT
Nick Westbrook-Ikhine

Dynasty | Titans wide receiver Nick Westbrook-Ikhine had two catches for 117 yards and a touchdown in the Titans loss to the Vikings. Dynasty Analysis: Westbrook-Ikhine had a 98-yard touchdown reception in this one, the longest play in the NFL this season. He has now amazingly scored in five-of-six games, despite having fewer than 300 receiving yards and only 15 catches on the season. The ultimate boom or bust in dynasty leagues right now, it's hard to see this streak continuing for a player getting targeted this little. Still, it's hard to argue against his big-play ability and that should keep him on dynasty rosters for the moment.

Jared Goff Nov 17 6:13pm CT
Jared Goff

Dynasty | Lions quarterback Jared Goff completed 24-of-29 passes for 412 yards with four touchdowns and no interceptions in a demolition of the Jaguars. Dynasty Analysis: Jacksonville was no match for Detroit in this one as Goff bounced back from a five-interception performance to post a four-touchdown day with no mistakes. Goff posted season highs all around and the Lions looked like one of the best teams in the NFL by far today, even if they were playing what could be the worst one. Goff looks like a solid hold in dynasty leagues and a back-end QB1 moving forward.

Travis Etienne Nov 17 6:13pm CT
Travis Etienne

Dynasty | Jaguars running back Travis Etienne had 27 rushing yards, three catches and six receiving yards in a loss against Detroit. Dynasty Analysis: The Jags had no chance in this one, but this was still a disappointing day for Etienne considering Tank Bigsby was out. Etienne has had a simply terrible season thus far and his dynasty value is sufferering. At this point, he belongs on fantasy benches and may not have real value again until next season. Yes, it's that bad.

Ja'Marr Chase Nov 17 6:13pm CT
Ja'Marr Chase

Dynasty | Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown had 11 catches for 161 yards and two touchdowns in a win against the Jaguars. Dynasty Analysis: ASB caught every one of his targets and could have honestly went for more than 200 yards today if the game was even remotely competitive. Whlie Ja'Marr Chase and Justin Jefferson get a lot of the headlines, there are few players better to have in dynasty leagues than St. Brown, who has looked every bit the part of a dominant wide receiver in dynasty leagues all season. He's untouchable at the moment.

Caleb Williams Nov 17 6:13pm CT
Caleb Williams

Dynasty | Bears rookie quarterback Caleb Williams completed 23-of-31 passes for 231 yards, adding 70 rushing yards in a tough 20-19 loss to the Packers. Dynasty Analysis: Williams did all he could in this one as the Bears had a potential game-winning field goal blocked at the end. It was a terrible disappointing day for Williams and Chicago lost their fourth straight game. There were rumblings about Williams being benched this week, but those should stop after today's performance. While he still has room to grow, this was a significant day for him as he simply played about as well as you could have expected. Any dynasty value drop he's had over the past couple of weeks should slow down now.

Trey Hendrickson Nov 17 6:10pm CT
Trey Hendrickson

Cincinnati Bengals defensive end Trey Hendrickson (neck, personal) will play on Sunday night against the Chargers. The 29-year-old was listed as questionable after missing practice on Thursday and Friday. But it's certainly good news for Cincinnati, considering the Bengals defense has struggled, allowing 26.2 points per game throughout the 2024-25 campaign.

Caleb Williams Nov 17 6:00pm CT
Caleb Williams

The Green Bay Packers' defense and special teams' unit was solid in their 20-19 victory over the Chicago Bears in Week 11. The Packers sacked Bears quarterback Caleb Williams three times on the afternoon and allowed 19 points on offense, but Green Bay did not force an interception or fumble on the afternoon. Green Bay did their best work in the game's final play, as Packers' defender Karl Brooks blocked the game-winning field goal attempt from Cairo Santos. With the San Francisco 49ers coming to town in Week 12, the Packers D/ST is an incredibly risky starting unit in fantasy, given the strength of the 49ers' offense.

Khalil Mack

Los Angeles Chargers linebacker Khalil Mack (groin) won't play in Sunday night's matchup versus the Cincinnati Bengals. The 33-year-old didn't practice on Friday and was listed as questionable heading into Week 11. While Mack isn't nearly as productive as he was last season, it's still a tough blow for the Chargers, especially with a tough matchup on the horizon against Joe Burrow, Ja'Marr Chase, and Tee Higgins.

Matthew Stafford Nov 17 5:50pm CT
Matthew Stafford

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford had one of his best games of the 2024-25 campaign in the Week 11 win over the Patriots. The signal-caller threw for 295 yards off 18-for-27 passing. He also tossed four touchdown passes, with Puka Nacua and Cooper Kupp pulling in three of them. Stafford had only three touchdowns in his first six games of the season. But in all fairness, Nacua and Kupp spent time on the shelf. With Stafford throwing 10 touchdowns in the Rams' previous four contests, he deserves starting fantasy consideration for the Sunday night showdown with the Eagles in Week 12, especially since Josh Allen, Joe Burrow, Kirk Cousins, and Aaron Rodgers will have the week off.

Tucker Kraft Nov 17 5:40pm CT
Tucker Kraft

Green Bay Packers tight end Tucker Kraft was a non-factor in the Packers' 20-19 victory over the Chicago Bears in Week 11. Kraft only earned just one target, a short target that was intercepted by Chicago's Terell Smith in the second quarter. The lack of involvement was felt in the Packers' passing attack which only had 17 pass attempts through the entire game. With the number of quality pass-catching options available for quarterback Jordan Love, there will be games like this by Kraft. With the Packers heading back home to host the San Francisco 49ers in Week 12, Kraft should be considered a low-end TE1 for fantasy football.

Nick Bosa Nov 17 5:40pm CT
Nick Bosa

San Francisco 49ers defensive end Nick Bosa (hip) is questionable to return to Sunday's divisional clash with the Seattle Seahawks. The 27-year-old carried a questionable designation heading into this contest. However, he was still a force on the defensive end, totaling four tackles and 1.5 sacks. With the game closer than most anticipated, the Niners would love to see Bosa back on the field. If not, there's a good chance he'll miss practice time leading up to the Week 12 matchup against the Green Bay Packers.
