The New England Patriots have ruled out wide receiver Kayshon Boutte (hamstring) for the Thursday night game against the division-rival New York Jets, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. Boutte will miss a second straight game this week after injuring his hamstring in the Week 9 win over the Atlanta Falcons. The 23-year-old's next chance to return to action will come in Week 12 against the Cincinnati Bengals. With Boutte sidelined again, Stefon Diggs, Mack Hollins, and DeMario Douglas should be New England's top receivers in a plus matchup against the two-win Jets, although rookie Kyle Williams, who had a 72-yard touchdown on Sunday, will also be more involved. Diggs has been super efficient and has had a nose for the end zone in his first year with the Pats, but Hollins should also be considered as a sneaky flex option on a short week with Boutte sidelined.

New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson (toe) has been ruled out for Thursday night against the New York Jets, per Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. Stevenson will miss his third consecutive game due to the toe injury suffered in Week 8 against the Browns, setting up rookie TreVeyon Henderson for another workhorse role in Week 11. Henderson finally broke out in Week 10 at Tampa Bay, handling 14 carries for 147 yards and breaking off two long touchdowns. ESPN's Dan Graziano suspects that Stevenson will reclaim his role as the Patriots' primary runner between the tackles when he is healthy enough to return, which could come in Week 12. Henderson should be fired up as a borderline RB1 for Thursday night, with Terrell Jennings (knee) questionable as well.

San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said that quarterback Brock Purdy (toe) will have an "aggressive practice" on Wednesday with the goal of starting on Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals, according to David Lombardi of the San Francisco Standard. Purdy hasn't played in a game since aggravating his turf-toe injury during a Week 4 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. The 25-year-old has been a limited participant in practice recently, but he looks to be on track to make his return in Week 11 if all goes according to plan. Star running back Christian McCaffrey said Wednesday that "he looks like Brock," and noted that Purdy is running and throwing well at practice. Purdy's status will be closely monitored this week, and if he is able to return, he will rank as a low-end QB1 on Sunday against the Cardinals.

Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said on Wednesday that the plan will be to ease rookie wide receiver Matthew Golden (shoulder) back into practice this week and "see where he's at." Golden missed the first game of his career in Week 10 against the Eagles after injuring his shoulder in Week 9 against the Panthers. The rookie wideout was limited in practice to open last week on Thursday before being downgraded to DNP on Friday and Saturday. Green Bay only held a walkthrough practice on Wednesday, so more will be known about Golden's status on Thursday. It's been an underwhelming season so far for the Packers' first-round pick, recording 23 receptions for 262 yards on 29 targets in eight games. Golden will look to only miss one game and get back on the field for Week 11 against the New York Giants.

Chicago Bears running back D'Andre Swift (hip) was a limited participant in practice to open the week on Wednesday. Swift returned in Week 10 after missing one game due to a groin injury, and handled his normal workload with 13 carries for 80 yards with five catches (eight targets) for 18 yards. There was plenty of talk about how head coach Ben Johnson would distribute the running back touches after rookie Kyle Monangai broke out for 198 total yards in Week 9, but it was still clearly Swift's backfield. Swift played 60.9% of the snaps with 18 touches, compared to Monangai at a 39.1% snap share with seven touches, though he did score a touchdown on a goal-line carry. The rookie should continue to have a role, but Swift will stay as the preferred back to have in fantasy, and will rank as a solid RB2 for Week 11 against the Vikings, assuming he is good to go.

New York Jets CB Azareye'h Thomas (concussion) and WR Garrett Wilson (knee) did not participate in practice Wednesday, Nov. 12, and have been ruled out for Week 11. DT Harrison Phillips (foot), DE Will McDonald (quadriceps) and DE Braiden McGregor (shoulder) were limited during practice and are listed as questionable. RB Khalil Herbert (groin) and OG Xavier Newman (ankle) fully participated in practice but are listed as questionable. LB Francisco Mauigoa (concussion) fully participated in practice and is not on the injury report.

Chicago Bears wide receiver Rome Odunze (ankle) was absent from Wednesday's practice session. Odunze has routinely opened the week with missed practices as the Bears manage his workload and practice reps. The second-year wideout bounced back in Week 10 against the Giants with one of his best games of the season despite weather conditions, catching six of 10 targets for 86 yards and a touchdown. It was positive to see Odunze get back to his productive ways after posting the first catchless game of his career in Week 9 against the Bengals. Odunze's status will be monitored as the week goes along, but he should be good to go for Week 11 against the Vikings.

Chicago Bears wide receiver D.J. Moore (shoulder) did not participate in Wednesday's practice session. Moore left the game early on Sunday due to the injury, but was able to return later. The 28-year-old was coming off his best game of the season in Week 9 against the Bengals, catching four of six targets for 72 yards with a 17-yard rushing touchdown and throwing a two-yard touchdown, but did not record a catch on four targets in Chicago's Week 10 win over the Giants. It's just the second game of Moore's career in which he failed to record a reception when drawing at least one target. Moore has been on the injury report for the past few weeks, managing groin and hip injuries, and has typically sat out of practice to open the week. His status will continue to be monitored throughout the week.

Los Angeles Chargers head coach Jim Harbaugh said that rookie tight end Oronde Gadsden (quadriceps) will take part in practice on Wednesday, according to Kris Rhim of ESPN. Gadsden suffered a bruised quad during Sunday night's win over the Pittsburgh Steelers, and he's been labeled day-to-day this week. Even if the 22-year-old is limited on Wednesday, he's currently on track to be available to play this Sunday in Jacksonville against the Jaguars. If Gadsden ends up being limited this weekend or out altogether, Will Dissly and Tyler Conklin would share TE duties for the Bolts and wouldn't be intriguing streaming options. In his first year in the NFL, Gadsden has quickly become a low-end TE1 option in fantasy football, catching 35 passes for 466 yards and two touchdowns on 44 targets. We'll continue to monitor his status closely this week, but as of now, it looks like he'll be active on Sunday.

Chicago Bears WR DJ Moore (shoulder) did not participate in practice Wednesday, Nov. 12.

Fantasy Spin: Moore has sat out the last few Wednesdays but should return to practice later in the week. He was held off the stat sheet last week but posted at least 70 yards in the previous two games. He can be at least a flex option in fantasy leagues if he plays.

Chicago Bears DB Kevin Byard (rest), DB Jaquan Brisker (back), LB T.J. Edwards (hand, hamstring), DL Grady Jarrett (rest), WR DJ Moore (shoulder), WR Rome Odunze (ankle), DB Tyrique Stevenson (shoulder), and WR Jahdae Walker (concussion) did not practice. TE Cole Kmet (back), DL Dominique Robinson (ankle), and RB D'Andre Swift (hip) were limited in practice. DB Josh Blackwell (concussion) and LB Ruben Hyppolite II (knee) practiced in full.

Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud (concussion) is in the league's concussion protocol and did not take part in practice on Wednesday, according to DJ Bien-Aime of ESPN. Stroud is still experiencing concussion symptoms after sitting out the Week 10 comeback win over the Jacksonville Jaguars, which does not bode well for his status for this Sunday's divisional tilt against the Tennessee Titans. Backup Davis Mills did not look very good leading Houston's offense in Stroud's place for three quarters last Sunday, but then he miraculously led the team to an improbable comeback in the fourth quarter, finishing 27-for-45 passing for 292 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception. Mills' spirited effort could convince them to play it safe with Stroud going forward, especially in a very winnable game against Tennessee. As of right now, it's looking like fantasy managers will be without Stroud again this weekend.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers G Ben Bredeson (hamstring) and LB Haason Reddick (ankle, knee) did not practice on Wednesday, Nov. 12. WR Chris Godwin Jr. (fibula), RB Bucky Irving (shoulder, foot), DL Vita Vea (back), LB Markees Watts (hand), and S Antoine Winfield Jr. (foot) were limited in practice on Wednesday.

From TheHuddle

Tampa Bay Buccaneers WR Chris Godwin (fibula) was limited during practice Wednesday, Nov. 12.

Fantasy Spin: Godwin returned to practice after missing multiple weeks because of the injury, so fantasy players will need to monitor him during the week to see if he has a chance to play in Week 11. He will be a risky option once he returns, so fantasy players may consider waiting a week before considering him for their lineups.

Minnesota Vikings quarterback J.J. McCarthy (hand) will have a bandage on his right hand at practice on Wednesday, according to head coach Kevin O'Connell. McCarthy hit his hand on a helmet in Sunday's loss to the Baltimore Ravens, but it is not expected to impact his week of preparation "very much," and he remains set to play on Sunday against the Chicago Bears in Week 11, per Kevin Seifert of ESPN. The 22-year-old threw for a career-high 248 yards and a touchdown in the Week 10 loss, but he also tossed two interceptions and generally struggled after the first quarter. He added five rush attempts for 48 yards on the ground. The former first-rounder has shown glimpses of the upside that the Vikings see in him as their franchise QB, but like any young QB -- remember, this is essentially McCarthy's rookie season after he missed all of 2024 with a knee injury -- there are going to be growing pains. Things won't get any easier this weekend against a ball-hawking Bears defense.

New York Giants QB Jaxson Dart (concussion), K Graham Gano (neck), DL Chauncey Golston (neck), LB Neville Hewitt (foot), OL Evan Neal (hamstring), S Tyler Nubin (neck), DL Rakeem Nunez-Roches Sr. (toe), LB Bobby Okereke (shoulder), WR Darius Slayton (hamstring), and LB Kayvon Thibodeaux (shoulder) did not practice on Wednesday, Nov. 12. CB Paulson Adebo (knee), TE Daniel Bellinger (groin), LB Victor Dimukeje (shoulder), and C John Michael Schmitz (Shin) were limited in practice on Wednesday.

Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said that wide receiver Romeo Doubs (chest) "should be good to go" for the Week 11 contest this Sunday on the road against the New York Giants after leaving Monday night's loss to the Philadelphia Eagles early, according to Matt Schneidman of The Athletic. We'll closely monitor Doubs' practice status this week heading into Sunday's game, but as of right now, fantasy managers should expect to have him available in a very good matchup at MetLife Stadium. The 25-year-old will have an even higher ceiling and floor if rookie wideout Matthew Golden (shoulder) is forced to miss a second straight game with his shoulder injury. Through 10 weeks in 2025, Doubs leads the Packers in catches (35) and targets (56) while recording 446 receiving yards and four touchdowns as the team's WR1 with Jayden Reed (collarbone, foot) on Injured Reserve.

ESPN's Ben Baby reports that Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow (toe) is taking part in the portion of practice on Wednesday that is open to the media. It was an unpadded practice for the Bengals, and Burrow threw passes in sweatpants and a helmet. The Bengals opened their 21-day practice window on Monday, and the 28-year-old signal-caller is eyeing a potential return for the Thanksgiving Day game against the division-rival Baltimore Ravens in three weeks. He will officially be listed as limited on Wednesday. Whether the former first overall pick actually plays in three weeks on Turkey Day will depend on how much progress he makes and the team's record at that point. Cincy isn't going to rush the face of the franchise back if their chances of making the postseason are slim. Still, fantasy managers should be looking to pick Burrow up and stash him if he's available on the waiver wire.

Carolina Panthers running back Rico Dowdle (quadriceps) was held out of practice on Wednesday, according to Darin Gantt of Panthers.com. Dowdle continues to manage a quad injury and has been held out of practice on Wednesdays in recent weeks, so fantasy managers shouldn't be too worried about his status for the Week 11 divisional clash against the Atlanta Falcons this weekend unless he also misses practice on Thursday. There was some uncertainty about how the Panthers would handle their backfield when Chuba Hubbard returned from his calf injury, but those questions have been answered, and Dowdle is now Carolina's clear RB1 as long as he's healthy. The 27-year-old has 121 rushing attempts for 705 yards (5.8 yards per tote) and four touchdowns while adding 13 receptions for 122 yards and another score in the last six games. He's a must-start if he plays against Atlanta.

Buffalo Bills TE Dalton Kincaid (hamstring) and DL Phidarian Mathis (shoulder) did not practice on Wednesday, Nov. 12. CB Christian Benford (groin), LB Terrel Bernard (ankle), CB Taron Johnson (groin), DB Cam Lewis (calf), and DE Joey Bosa (wrist) were limited in practice on Wednesday. DE A.J. Epenesa (concussion), WR Joshua Palmer (knee, ankle), DL Jordan Phillips (wrist), and DL T.J. Sanders (knee) practiced in full on Wednesday.
