WR Adam Thielen and Stefon Diggs are "good to go" for SNF
Both wideouts will be fully healthy for an imposing matchup at Chicago which boasts one of the top pass defenses in the league and the Vikings are projected for only 21 points, making them tournament options for Week 11. Likewise, with both receivers averaging double digit targets a game in this concentrated passing attack it would not be surprising to still see one of them post a big game, though playing them together seems ill-advised.

RB Chris Thompson and WR Jamison Crowder ruled out again for Week 11
Adrian Peterson and Kapri Bibbs should split backfield snaps again and Josh Doctson, Maurice Harris, and Michael Floyd will round out 3-WR sets on Sunday. Despite the added opportunity, no one from this group sticks out as a particularly appealing value with the Redskins installed as 3-point underdogs against the Texans. TE Jordan Reed remains the Redskins best pass-catching option for this depleted offense.
As reported by: Kareem Copeland Other tagged players: Jamison Crowder RB Joe Mixon (knee) practiced in full Friday and will play Sunday
The Bengals RB1 was limited in Thursday’s practice but returned to full participation on Friday. He should continue to be heavily utilized with A.J. Green out but could make for a good fade this week if he comes with moderate ownership as he’s priced over $7K on DraftKings and FanDuel, change-up back Giovani Bernard is fully healthy again, and he’s facing a top 5 Ravens run defense on the road.
As reported by: Kat Terrell WR Sammy Watkins (foot) not practicing Friday
It’s hard to tell if this is just a rest day with the Chiefs playing on Monday or a concerning downgrade after Watkins got in a limited practice on Thursday and it was already reported he was expected to play in Week 11. A lot more should be asked of the Chiefs’ passing attack as opposed to last week against the Cardinals putting Watkins into play as the WR2 if he’s able to suit up. He’d see at least a handful of targets against his former team in a game that has the highest projected total of the season and could be the best means of getting some cheap exposure to this shootout.
As reported by: Nate Taylor WR Torrey Smith (knee) ruled out for Week 11
The veteran receiver’s role is uncertain even when he does return. D.J. Moore has led the Panthers’ wideouts in snaps while Smith has been out and has a nice matchup against the Lions this week in a game where the Panthers are projected for nearly 28 points. If Darius Slay ends up shadowing fellow wideout Devin Funchess for most of the game, Moore’s outlook would be even more enhanced.
As reported by: Jourdan Rodrigue Other tagged players: D.J. Moore Marvin Jones Jr. (knee) not practicing Friday
The Lions wideout isn’t going to play in Week 11 after dealing with a bone bruise all week. Coming off a 13 target performance in Week 10, Kenny Golladay projects to be a target monster again versus a Panthers secondary that was just obliterated by the Steelers pass-catchers. T.J. Jones will likely round out 2-WR sets, while RB Theo Riddick may be more heavily utilized in Jones Jr’s absence, making them all potential values.
As reported by: Tim Twentyman Other tagged players: Kenny Golladay, TJ Jones QB Lamar Jackson returned to practice Friday while QB Joe Flacco (hip) remained out
While Coach John Harbaugh had said that Flacco didn’t have to practice to play he still looks to be doubtful after not logging a single practice this week in any capacity. Jackson is expected to be the likely starter after dealing with a stomach issue yesterday, though Robert Griffin III may see snaps after taking some first-team reps and it was reported RG3 was being considered as the Week 11 starter earlier in the week. The Ravens passing offense will have a plus home matchup against a Bengals secondary that was just shredded by the Saints and comes in as the second worst scoring defense in the league. Both QB’s should be heavily considered at their price tags depending on who starts.

CJ Prosise a healthy scratch Thursday, Chris Carson active; Randall Cobb inactive, as expected
CJ Prosise a healthy scratch Thursday, just as he was last week. Chris Carson is healthy and should take on the majority of the backfield workload, with Mike Davis acting as the main complementary option. With Randall Cobb inactive, Marquez Valdes-Scantling will continue to operate as the unquestioned #2 WR. Eqanimeous St. Brown will also see his snaps rise and is a viable value play for Showdown slates.
Other tagged players: Mike Davis, C.J. Prosise, Randall Cobb
Jordy Nelson (knee) doesn't practice again Thursday for the Raiders
Jordy Nelson didn’t practice again Thursday for the Raiders due to his knee injury. This is the second consecutive DNP for Nelson, who is appearing unlikely to suit up this weekend for the Raiders week 11 matchup with the Cardinals. With Martavis Bryant also a DNP, it appears that the majority of the Raiders targets will be funneled towards Brandon Lafell, Seth Roberts and Jared Cook. Lafell and Roberts figure to be popular value plays for the week 11 slate assuming both Nelson and Bryant are inactive.
Antonio Gates (knee) unable to practice again Thursday
Antonio Gates (knee) was unable to practice again Thursday for the Chargers, and is looking unlikely to suit up this weekend against the Broncos. Assuming Gates is unable to go, Virgil Green will be in line to see the majority of the work at the TE position for the Chargers against his former team.
Keenan Allen (hip, finger) and Mike Williams (groin) both limited in practice Thursday for Chargers
Keenan Allen (hip, finger) and Mike Williams (groin) were both limited in practice Thursday for the Chargers. Both receivers are new additions to the injury report, making their practice statuses worth keeping an eye on heading into the weekend. For now, however, there is nothing to suggest either player is in danger of missing the Chargers week 11 contest with the Broncos, although any further status downgrades would obviously bring their ability to suit up into question.
Other tagged players: Mike Williams Stefon Diggs (ribs) practices in full Thursday, Adam Thielen (calf) again limited for the Vikings
Stefon Diggs (ribs) practiced in full Thursday, and Adam Thielen (calf) was again limited in practice for the Vikings. Both players carry the same practice designation as yesterday, which futher confirms that Diggs will return to action and be a full-go coming off of his ribs injury. As for Thielen, there is still nothing that suggests his status for week 11 is in any real danger, but keep an eye on his practice status heading into the weekend to ensure he doesn’t suffer a setback that would limit him for week 11.
Other tagged players: Adam Thielen Sammy Watkins (foot) logs a limited practice Thursday for the Chiefs
Sammy Watkins (foot) was able to log a limited practice Thursday for the Chiefs. This bodes well for his odds of suiting up for week 11 against the Rams, after missing week 10 due to the injury. Assuming Watkins is active, he has high upside in what projects to be the highest scoring game of the season thus far in the Monday night shootout between the Rams and Chiefs.
Chris Thompson (rib) and Jamison Crowder (ankle) both don't practice again Thursday for the Redskins
Chris Thompson (rib) and Jamison Crowder (ankle) both missed practice again Thursday for the Redskins, and appear unlikely to suit up this weekend for the depleted Washington offense. Thompson’s absence ensures Adrian Peterson will get the early down work with Kapri Bibbs filling in as the change-of-pace back, and Crowder’s absence would open up targets for Maurice Harris and Josh Doctson. That said, keep an eye on their practice status Friday to see if either player can manage to be upgraded to a limited participant, leaving them in the mix to possibly suit up Sunday.
