Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Sterling Shepard had a quiet game in his team's 28-23 Week 10 loss to the New England Patriots, recording three catches for 20 yards on four targets. The 32-year-old has now failed to crack 25 receiving yards in three straight contests, even with veteran Bucs wideouts Mike Evans (collarbone) and Chris Godwin (leg) sidelined. Rookie wide receiver Tez Johnson appears to have surpassed Shepard on Tampa Bay's wide receiver depth chart. Johnson has out-snapped and out-produced Shepard in two straight games. Still, Godwin may remain sidelined for Tampa Bay's Week 11 matchup against the Buffalo Bills, which keeps the door open for Shepard. He could be worth adding in deep fantasy leagues heading into Week 11.

Since taking over as the Cincinnati Bengals' starting quarterback in Week 6, Joe Flacco has put up gaudy statistics. Across four starts, Flacco has thrown for 1,254 yards, 11 touchdowns, and two interceptions. The Bengals opened up quarterback Joe Burrow's (toe) 21-day Injured Reserve activation window on Monday, but Burrow is reportedly targeting Thanksgiving as a return date. A Thanksgiving return for Burrow would give Flacco two more starts under center in Cincinnati, starting with a trip to Pittsburgh to take on the Steelers in Week 11. Flacco torched Pittsburgh back in Week 7, throwing for 342 yards and three touchdowns. In fantasy leagues where Flacco may have been dropped during Cincinnati's Week 10 bye, he could be worth adding as a low-end QB1 option in Week 11.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Jayden Reed (collarbone, foot) is currently working his way back to the field. Reed was recently spotted at practice doing some light work. The 25-year-old has been out since suffering a broken collarbone in Week 2. Despite that, Reed could be back in the near future. He still hasn't returned to practice with pads, so fantasy managers shouldn't expect him to play in Week 11. However, Reed could be worth stashing on the IR for fantasy managers who have a spot available. Reed might still miss a few more games, but could be a decent contributor once he's healthy. Reed might be a nice addition to fantasy rosters right around playoff time.

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Calvin Austin III hasn't posted great stats this season, but does have some good things going for him. In Week 10, Austin hauled in two of his seven targets for 14 yards in the loss to the Los Angeles Chargers. Austin tied fellow wideout DK Metcalf for the team lead with seven targets during that game. The 26-year-old has seen six or more targets in three straight games. Austin hasn't posted excellent stats during those games, but is getting the ball thrown his way more often. That being said, Austin could be someone worth looking at for the upcoming Week 11 matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals. Austin might be able to do some damage against that struggling secondary.

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow (toe) is inching his way closer to returning to the field. Burrow had his 21-day practice window opened on Monday and will practice in limited capacity. Despite that, the Bengals have already ruled out Burrow for the upcoming Week 11 matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers. It sounds like Burrow is aiming to get back on the field for the Thanksgiving matchup against the Baltimore Ravens in Week 13. It's worth noting that the Bengals sit at 3-6 with Joe Flacco likely drawing two more starts. If they lose both games, the Bengals might elect to hold out Burrow for the rest of the season. For now, it sounds like Burrow is aiming to play on Thanksgiving, but a lot could change over the next few weeks.

Chicago Bears wide receiver Luther Burden III hasn't seen a ton of success during the first half of his rookie season. In Week 10, Burden hauled in all three of his targets for 51 yards in the win over the New York Giants. That outing was actually one of Burden's better games this season. Afterwards, head coach Ben Johnson hinted that Burden is going to see more targets going forward. He continued by saying Burden is getting more comfortable with both the coaching staff and his teammates each week. The Bears do have a lot of mouths to feed on offense, so it's not shocking to see Burden having a limited role. It seems like the Bears plan to get Burden more involved, but fantasy managers should wait and see what happens. The 21-year-old is certainly worth stashing, but isn't anything more than a flex option for Week 11.

Detroit Lions tight end Sam LaPorta had a modest outing in his team's Week 10 win over the Washington Commanders, recording five catches for 53 yards on five targets. The 24-year-old has now hauled in 40 receptions for 489 yards and three scores on 49 targets across nine games this season. Other than failing to score a touchdown, LaPorta's showing in Week 10 should be considered another step in the right direction from a fantasy perspective. After failing to earn five targets or five receptions in three out of the first four weeks of 2025, LaPorta has now hit both those marks in four out of his last five games played. As long as he can stay healthy, LaPorta should remain a consistent feature in the Lions' passing game. He faces a tough matchup in Week 11 when Detroit travels to Philadelphia to take on the Eagles.

Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown saw his fewest targets (eight) in a game since Week 4 in his team's 44-22 Week 10 win over the Washington Commanders. However, St. Brown remained productive, recording five catches for 58 yards and a touchdown. The 26-year-old has now hauled in 64 receptions for 693 yards and eight touchdowns on 82 targets across nine games so far this season. Even with fellow Lions wideout Jameson Williams getting more involved in the offense in recent weeks, St. Brown is the clear top option in the passing game for Detroit quarterback Jared Goff. The Lions have a difficult road matchup in Week 11 against the Philadelphia Eagles, but St. Brown still profiles as a must-start fantasy wide receiver.

Detroit Lions running back David Montgomery recorded 15 carries for 71 yards and punched in a successful two-point conversion try in his team's 44-22 Week 10 win over the Washington Commanders. The 28-year-old has now rushed for 466 yards and five touchdowns on 104 attempts across nine games so far this season. With 14 catches for 106 yards and zero receiving touchdowns, Montgomery has seen minimal usage in the Lions' passing game. He also has a limited ceiling in terms of total touches as long as fellow Detroit running back Jahmyr Gibbs remains healthy. As a result, Montgomery is almost entirely dependent on touchdown scoring for fantasy production, even when he has an efficient rushing day like he did in Week 10. Montgomery may be tough for fantasy managers to trust in a tough Week 11 matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles.

Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh acknowledged on Monday that the team needs to get running back Keaton Mitchell "more involved," according to Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic. Harbaugh said it was in the game plan in the Week 10 win over the Minnesota Vikings, but "they just didn't get to it." Harbaugh also mentioned that it's "tough to take plays away" from Derrick Henry. Mitchell played only 7% of the offensive snaps on Sunday compared to the 67% that Henry played and the 27% that Justice Hill was featured on. The 23-year-old Mitchell has had four carries apiece in each of the last three games, and he managed 31 rushing yards in the Week 10 victory. He only has two catches for 12 yards in his five games played in 2025. Mitchell had a 22-yard pickup on Sunday, and the third-year back has game-breaking abilities, but as long as Henry remains healthy, it's hard to see him getting enough weekly touches to give him standalone fantasy value.

Washington Commanders wide receiver Treylon Burks (finger) will not travel with the team to Madrid on Monday night and has been ruled out for the Week 11 contest in Spain on Sunday against the Miami Dolphins, according to the team. Burks' frustrating career continues, as he was in line for a bigger workload in Washington's passing attack with Terry McLaurin (quadriceps) ruled out for another game this weekend. ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that the former first-rounder of the Tennessee Titans underwent surgery on his finger on Monday. It's not believed to be a long-term issue, but the 25-year-old will miss Week 11. The Commanders have their bye in Week 12, so it's possible Burks will be ready to play in Week 13 versus the Denver Broncos. McLaurin, Burks, and Luke McCaffrey (collarbone) will be out in Madrid, leaving Deebo Samuel Sr., Chris Moore, and rookie Jaylin Lane as the team's top pass-catchers. Robbie Chosen will also have a bigger role.

San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said on Monday that the team will not open the 21-day practice window for wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk (knee) this week, according to Noah Furtado of the San Francisco Chronicle. Aiyuk is reportedly making progress from tearing his ACL and MCL in Week 7 of last season, but he's not close to a return to practice. The 27-year-old former first-rounder will not make his 2025 debut in Week 11 against the division-rival Arizona Cardinals and probably won't be in play to return on Monday night in Week 12 against the Carolina Panthers, either. Shanahan said last week that he's "pretty confident" that Aiyuk will play this year, but fantasy managers may not want to share that same optimism. If Aiyuk does come back this year, the most likely date would be in Week 15 against the Tennessee Titans, following the team's bye in Week 14.

Green Bay Packers wide receivers Dontayvion Wicks (calf), Savion Williams (foot), and Malik Heath (hip) are all active for the Monday Night Football game against the Philadelphia Eagles, according to Mike Spofford of Packers.com. Rookie first-round wideout Matthew Golden is out with a shoulder injury, so Wicks has the best chance of seeing elevated targets in three-wide sets on Monday next to Romeo Doubs and Christian Watson with Golden sidelined. It will be Wicks' first game since injuring his calf in the Week 7 win over the Arizona Cardinals. Despite Wicks' expected larger role on Monday night, the 24-year-old will still be a boom/bust DFS play against Philly. In six games played in 2025, Wicks has only 13 receptions for 134 yards and is still searching for his first trip to paydirt.

New England Patriots wide receiver Kayshon Boutte (hamstring) was estimated as a limited practice participant on Monday. Boutte suffered a hamstring injury in the Week 9 win over the Atlanta Falcons and did not play in Sunday's victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. It's good news that he was at least listed as limited on Monday, but we would not be surprised at all if the 23-year-old pass-catcher misses a second game in Week 11 on Thursday Night Football against the division-rival New York Jets. Boutte will probably need to upgrade to a full practice on Tuesday or Wednesday to avoid a questionable designation. Before his injury in Week 9, the third-year wideout had four touchdowns in three games. His hamstring injury has stalled his progress, though, and he'll be a risky WR4/flex if he's active on Thursday. With Boutte out on Sunday, DeMario Douglas, Mack Hollins, and rookie Kyle Williams all had bigger roles behind Stefon Diggs.

As expected, Green Bay Packers wide receiver Matthew Golden (shoulder) is officially inactive for the Monday night game in Week 10 against the Philadelphia Eagles, the team announced. Golden was pushing to go in this one despite not practicing on Friday or Saturday. The rookie first-round pass-catcher's next chance to suit up will be in Week 11 on the road against the New York Giants. After being hyped up in the preseason and training camp, the 22-year-old Texas product has struggled for consistency in his first eight games in the NFL, catching 23 passes for 262 yards and no touchdowns on 29 targets. Staying relevant became even harder once Christian Watson returned from Injured Reserve, and that will be compounded once Jayden Reed (collarbone) is healthy down the stretch. Watson, Romeo Doubs, and Dontayvion Wicks should operate in starting three-wide sets on Monday against Philly.

New England Patriots rookie running back TreVeyon Henderson (knee) is on the Week 11 injury report and was listed as a limited participant on the team's estimated practice report. In addition to Henderson, Rhamondre Stevenson (toe) and Terrell Jennings (knee) were also limited, leaving New England's backfield up in the air for a Week 11 divisional clash on Thursday night versus the New York Jets. Henderson injured his knee in the Week 10 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers but re-entered the game, so of the Patriots' three injured backs, he seems to have the best chance of playing this week. With Stevenson missing a second straight game on Sunday, the second-rounder out of Ohio State had his best showing of the year, carrying the ball 14 times for the second straight week for a season-high 147 yards and two rushing touchdowns. Henderson also added one catch for three yards. If Stevenson misses a third straight game, Henderson will be a clear RB2 against the Jets in fantasy football.

From RotoBaller

New England Patriots running back Terrell Jennings (knee) was listed as a limited participant on the team's estimated practice report on Monday. Jennings was injured in Sunday's Week 10 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and was unable to return, putting his status in jeopardy in a quick turnaround for a Thursday night game against the division-rival New York Jets in Week 11. Rookie TreVeyon Henderson also tweaked his knee on Sunday, but he was able to return and finish out a career day that included his first 100-yard rushing effort and two rushing touchdowns. Rhamondre Stevenson (toe) missed his second straight game, and it's unclear if he'll be ready for Thursday night after a limited estimation on Monday. Jennings' fantasy value this week will depend on whether he's able to play and whether Stevenson can return. If Stevenson and Jennings are out, D'Ernest Johnson could be elevated to the RB2 role behind Henderson.

New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson (toe) was listed as limited on the team's estimated practice report on Monday. Stevenson missed the last two games after injuring his toe in the Week 8 win over the Cleveland Browns. It's good news that he's listed as limited, but he could very well miss a third straight game on a short week with the team taking on the division-rival New York Jets this Thursday night. Rookie TreVeyon Henderson (knee) and Terrell Jennings (knee) were also listed as limited, so New England's backfield is pretty banged up going into Week 11. We may not have more clarity on this situation until Wednesday or Thursday, which makes the 27-year-old Henderson a pretty shaky RB option for fantasy managers this week.

Green Bay Packers rookie first-round wide receiver Matthew Golden (shoulder), who was listed as questionable to play on Monday night against the Philadelphia Eagles, is not expected to play, a source tells Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. Golden was pushing to go, but the Packers will rely on others to step up in the passing game without him. Green Bay will also be missing tight end Tucker Kraft (knee), who suffered a season-ending torn ACL last week. The 22-year-old Golden was unable to practice with the team on Friday or Saturday. His next chance to return will come in Week 11 against the New York Giants on the road. Dontayvion Wicks (calf) and Savion Williams (foot) are also listed as questionable for Monday night, so Romeo Doubs, Christian Watson, and Malik Heath could operate as the Packers' top three receivers against Philly, with tight end Luke Musgrave also seeing an expanded role.

The Arizona Cardinals will place wide receiver Zay Jones (Achilles) on Injured Reserve with an Achilles injury that he suffered in the Week 10 blowout loss to the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday, according to Zach Gershman of AZCardinals.com. Jones wasn't really on the fantasy radar to begin with in standard-sized leagues, but now he'll be forced to miss at least the next four games for the Cardinals. The 30-year-old veteran pass-catcher had only 12 catches on 18 targets for 183 yards and no touchdowns through eight games this year in a struggling Cardinals passing game. With Jones out for the foreseeable future, Greg Dortch should see more targets, but he's only worth a waiver-wire pickup for WR depth in deeper leagues. The earliest that Jones will be able to return will be for a Week 15 matchup on Sunday, Dec. 14, against the Houston Texans on the road.
