Keke Coutee being considered day-to-day with hamstring injury
Keke Coutee being considered day-to-day with his hamstring injury per head coach Bill O’Brien, who also stated Coutee was “trending upwards”. This all bodes well for Coutee’s ability to take the field for the Texans week 11 matchup at Washington. It is yet to be seen how Coutee’s workload will be affected by the loss of Will Fuller and addition of Demaryius Thomas, but look for Coutee to see a similar workload for week 11 as he did when both Deandre Hopkins and Fuller were active if he is able to suit up.
Pete Carroll says Chris Carson (hip) will be good to go for Thursday night
Pete Carroll says Chris Carson (hip) “is going to be healthy” for Thursday night, and should be good to resume his normal workload against the Packers. Look for Mike Davis to be relegated to backup RB duties, with Carson handling the bulk of the work out of the Seahawks backfield against a beatable Packers defense.
C.J. Anderson waived by the Panthers
C.J. Anderson has been waived by the Panthers. Anderson was largely ineffective all season, and saw little to no role in the Panthers offense. This changes little for the team, with Christian McCaffery handling the bulk of both the rushing and passing work out of the Carolina backfield.
Bucs sticking with QB Ryan Fitzpatrick as starter for Week 11
Despite throwing for 400 yards in Week 10, the Bucs failed to score a touchdown and Fitzpatrick was responsible for 3 turnovers. Nonetheless, the team still believes the veteran QB gives them a better chance to win and don’t want to risk an injury to Jameis Winston for contract reasons. Look for him to bounce back against the Giants on a short week this Sunday, though pegging the best receiver to stack with Fitz could be tough as he has spread the ball around quite a bit since returning as the starter.

WR Marvin Jones considered 'day to day' with bone bruise
This is surely a relief to the Lions after Jones took a hit to the knee in the third quarter of Sunday’s game and didn’t return. An MRI revealed only a bone bruise on Monday, likely making the wideout questionable for Week 11’s home game against a Panthers secondary that was just obliterated by the Steelers pass-catchers. Jones’ practice status should be monitored as the week moves along.
As reported by: Adam Schefter WR Sammy Watkins (foot) has "pretty good chance of being ready to go" for Week 11
The Chiefs’ WR2 returned to practice late last week but was ultimately ruled inactive for Sunday’s win against the lowly Cardinals. Chris Conley saw 92% of snaps in Watkins’ absence but remained a non-factor. Expect Watkins to be somewhere between questionable and probable for Monday night’s showdown with the Rams, a game where a lot more should be asked of the Chiefs’ passing attack this time around.
As reported by: Matt Derrick Other tagged players: Chris Conley Brandon Marshall Signs With Saints
WR Brandon Marshall is signing a one-year deal with the New Orleans Saints. With Dez Bryant out for the year this was a logical move. However, if we expected minimum out of Dez, we can expect even less out of Marshall.
As reported by: Adam Schefter Twitter Marvin Jones (knee) Injured Sunday
Marvin Jones suffered an injury in Sunday’s game vs the Bears and was not able to return. More news will come after tests early this week.
As reported by: Chris Emma Twitter Martavis Bryant Suffers PCL Injury
WR Martavis Bryant suffered a possible PCL tear. He has been a disappointment from a fantasy perspective, but perhaps this gives another Oakland WR a chance to step up for extra snaps and targets.
As reported by: Ian Rapoport Twitter Cooper Kupp Out For Season
As suspected, Cooper Kupp will be lost for the season with a torn ACL. Other Rams WR’s, including Brandin Cooks and Robert Woods, will get a shine to take on a bigger workload moving forward.
As reported by: Adam Schefter Twitter Cowboys TE Geoff Swaim active for SNF; Eagles RT Lane Johnson inactive
The final injury reports for Sunday night’s matchup between the Dallas Cowboys and Philadelphia Eagles have been released, and there are no surprises on either side. Geoff Swaim has been upgraded from questionable for Dallas and is officially active, though that may not mean much in the grand scheme of things since tight ends haven’t been heavily utilized in the Cowboys’ run-first offense. On the other hand, Lane Johnson is inactive for Philadelphia, as he’ll need at least one more week to recover from an MCL sprain. This may not directly affect one specific skill position player but is a slight downgrade to the Eagles offense overall with Johnson consistently grading out as one of the best tackles in the NFL over the last few seasons.

Jakeem Grant (heel) active Sunday for Dolphins
As expected, Jakeem Grant is officially active Sunday for the Dolphins. With Kenny Stills active as well, the Dolphins passing attack will be spread between Grant, Stills, Danny Amendola and Devante Parker. None of these plays particularly stand out for the week 10 slate, beyond being GPP fliers on the afternoon slate.
Randall Cobb (hamstring) OUT Sunday
Randall Cobb has been officially ruled out Sunday due to his hamstring injury. With Geronimo Allison on IR as well, this means there should be a lot of targets to go around for the likes of Davante Adams, Jimmy Graham and Marquez Valdes-Scantling. Look for all three to see a healthy dose of looks from Aaron Rodgers in a game where the Packers should score and score often against Miami.
Chris Carson (hip) officially inactive Sunday
In line with the earlier report, Chris Carson is officially inactive Sunday due to his hip injury. Look for Mike Davis to lead the charge out of the Seahawks backfield, and be heavily involved in both the rushing and passing attack. CJ Prosise is also active for Seattle, and will serve in a change-of-pace capacity for Seattle.
