New England Patriots starting running back Rhamondre Stevenson will miss his third straight game after being ruled out with a toe injury for Thursday night's home game against the New York Jets.
Stevenson's absence in last Sunday's 28-23 road win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers helped pave the way for rookie TreVeyon Henderson to rush for a season-best 147 yards and touchdown runs of 55 and 69 yards.
Stevenson has rushed for 279 yards and three touchdowns in eight games. Henderson has a sore knee but wasn't given an injury designation.
The Patriots also ruled out receiver Kayshon Boutte (hamstring) for the second straight week. Boutte has a team-best five touchdowns receptions.
Others ruled out by New England were tight end Austin Hooper (concussion) and linebacker Christian Elliss (hip). Running back Terrell Jennings (knee) and defensive lineman Joshua Farmer (ankle) are questionable.
As expected, the Jets ruled out star receiver Garrett Wilson (knee), who reportedly will miss multiple weeks. Wilson has 36 catches for 395 yards and four touchdowns.
New York also ruled out cornerback Azareye'h Thomas (concussion) and listed five players as questionable: defensive linemen Harrison Phillips (foot) and Braiden McGregor (shoulder), edge rusher Will McDonald IV (quadriceps), offensive lineman Xavier Newman (ankle) and running back Khalil Herbert (groin).
Arizona Cardinals running back Emari Demercado could see an increased workload heading into the team's Week 11 matchup with the San Francisco 49ers. With Bam Knight (ankle) a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Demercado may build on his career-best performance last week, where he picked up 104 yards from scrimmage on just seven touches. The 26-year-old back is likely to see heavy usage moving forward, with quarterback Jacoby Brissett poised to get the ball out quickly to his playmakers.

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jalen Nailor has emerged as a big-play threat in the Vikings' passing attack, after delivering 124 yards and a touchdown on just five receptions. Despite seeing just 14.3% of the target share, Nailor was able to post the most productive game of his young career. The receiver's big game put him on the map for fantasy owners, but prior to Week 10, his biggest game of the season was a three-catch outing for 37 yards. While Nailor should be viewed as a priority on the wire this week, it may be early to expect consistent production.

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Cedric Tillman (glute) was a limited participant during Wednesday's practice session. Tillman made his return to the field this past weekend. Before this, Tillman had missed the previous four games due to a hamstring issue. The 25-year-old hauled in two of his four targets for 11 yards in the loss to the New York Jets. The fact Tillman is limited to start the week could just be the Browns being cautious with him. It doesn't appear that Tillman is going to have a huge role in this offense going forward. Despite that, his status is still worth monitoring ahead of the Week 11 matchup against the Baltimore Ravens.

New England Patriots running back Terrell Jennings (knee) is officially listed as questionable ahead of Thursday's Week 11 matchup against the New York Jets. Jennings is still managing a knee injury that he suffered during last weekend's win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. It sounds like the Patriots are going to wait until closer to game-time before making a final decision. This offense will already be shorthanded with Rhamondre Stevenson (toe) being ruled out. That means, TreVeyon Henderson could be in line for a heavy workload on Thursday. Henderson is looking like an excellent fantasy option after rushing for 147 yards with two touchdowns this past weekend.
From RotoBaller
Cleveland Browns tight end Harold Fannin Jr. (hamstring) was a limited participant during Wednesday's practice session. Fannin entered this past weekend with a questionable tag and still suited up against the New York Jets. He hauled in four of his seven targets for 44 yards in the loss. This marks the fifth straight game that Fannin has hauled in at least four receptions in a single game. He has been one of the few decent fantasy options on the Browns roster this season. Fantasy managers will need to monitor his status closely this week with him getting a limited session to start the week.

Detroit Lions DE Marcus Davenport (pectoral) had his 21-day practice window started Wednesday, Nov. 12, as he makes his way back from the Reserve/Injured list. He has been sidelined since suffering a pectoral injury against the Chicago Bears back in Week 2.
From TheHuddle
Denver Broncos wide receiver Marvin Mims Jr. (concussion) was able to get through a full practice session on Wednesday. This is a step in the right direction for Mims who sat out last week's win over the Las Vegas Raiders. Mims has missed the last two games due to a concussion, but has a chance to return in Week 11 against the Kansas City Chiefs. He'll need to clear concussion protocol before being eligible to return to game action, but a full session of practice is a step in the right direction. Mims should have a role behind Courtland Sutton and Troy Franklin in this passing attack.
From RotoBaller
Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Tory Horton (groin, shin) was a limited participant during Wednesday's practice session. Horton appears to be trending in a positive direction after sitting out last week's game against the Arizona Cardinals. The rookie wideout had a breakout performance in Week 9 when he scored two touchdowns. Sadly, Horton hasn't been able to play since then, but has a chance to get back on the field this weekend. It's unclear what kind of role he'll have in his offense once it's fully healthy. He could fall too far down on the depth chart to offer streaming appeal, but fantasy managers will have to wait and see. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status throughout the week.

Baltimore Ravens CB Marlon Humphrey (finger) will not play in Week 11 against the Cleveland Browns, head coach John Harbaugh said Wednesday, Nov. 12. He had a pin procedure for his injured finger. DB Keyon Martin is expected to be the next man up in Humphrey's stead. 'Hopefully, in the next week, he'll be back,' Harbaugh said Wednesday, Nov. 12.
From TheHuddle
Arizona Cardinals running back Bam Knight (ankle) was a limited participant during Wednesday's practice. This doesn't come as a shock after Knight was forced to exit during the fourth quarter of Sunday's game against the Seattle Seahawks due to an ankle issue. He'll open the week as a limited participant, but the Cardinals likely want to be cautious to begin the week. Lately, Knight has been splitting up the reps with Emari Demercado in the backfield. Demercado and Michael Carter would take over the backfield duties if Knight misses the Week 11 matchup against the San Francisco 49ers. Fantasy managers will need to check back on Thursday for another update on Knight.

New York Jets wide receiver Adonai Mitchell should make his team debut this Thursday night when they take on the hosting New England Patriots. The former Texas Longhorn didn't suit up for the Jets in Week 10 as he'd only joined Gang Green five days before they met with the Browns. New England doesn't present as a favorable matchup. However, Mitchell should see a decent amount of playing time, particularly with teammate Garrett Wilson (knee) facing a considerable injury. As has been the case for a few weeks now, head coach Aaron Glenn has delayed naming a starter. The instability works against Mitchell, although he'll still be worth keeping an eye on, as the athleticism and opportunity are there. The 23-year-old ranks as RotoBaller's PPR WR79 for this weekend's slate of action.

Minnesota Vikings running back Aaron Jones Sr. (shoulder, toe) was a limited participant during Wednesday's practice. Jones is a bit banged up right now, but that didn't stop him from suiting up this past weekend. Jones rushed the ball nine times for 47 yards and scored a touchdown in the loss to the Baltimore Ravens. He also added three receptions for 22 yards through the air as the AC joint sprain in his shoulder didn't appear to be an issue. The fact Jones was limited on Wednesday in practice could be for rest purposes. If he misses time, Jordan Mason would see an increased workload during the Week 11 matchup against the Chicago Bears. Fantasy managers will need to check back on Thursday for another update.
From RotoBaller
Houston Texans tight end Dalton Schultz (shoulder) was a non-participant during Wednesday's practice session. This doesn't come as a surprise considering Schultz has been managing a knee and shoulder injury the last week. Despite that, Schultz did suit up for last week's game against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Schultz hauled in seven of his 11 targets for 53 yards and a touchdown in the victory. The hope is that Schultz was held out on Wednesday for rest maintenance. Outside of one dud, Schultz has been a viable fantasy option over the last five games. Fantasy managers should check back on Thursday and Friday for more updates on his status.

New York Jets wide receiver Tyler Johnson is due for an elevated workload in Week 11's road clash with the New England Patriots. The sixth-year pro notched back-to-back three-catch efforts ahead of his bye week, posting at least 60 yards in each contest, although he failed to reel in his lone target in last weekend's win over the Browns, while Justin Fields netted 42 passing yards. Things won't be much easier against their division rivals, considering New England has allowed the sixth-fewest points (19.2) and eighth-fewest yards (306.2) per game. Johnson might be an ok flier in DFS formats, but shouldn't be on fantasy managers' radars in conventional lineup leagues. Even with the suspected uptick in volume, an up-and-down Jets' offense limits the 27-year-old's ceiling. He'll wind up as RotoBaller's PPR WR77 for his outing with the Patriots.

Updating a previous report, Los Angeles Rams WR Davante Adams (oblique) did not practice Wednesday, Nov. 12, but head coach Sean McVay said he expects the veteran to play in Week 11 against the Seattle Seahawks. 'He's making progress,' McVay said. 'That's what he tells me (that he expects to play). He's feeling good, so I trust the man. He'll be ready.'
Fantasy Spin: Fantasy managers certainly hope so, as Adams has been a scoring machine lately. scoring six times in the past three outings, and an NFL-high nine times overall in nine games this season. He also has at least four catches in six straight games, and eight of nine outings overall. He is a tremendous low-end WR1 or top-tier WR2 in PPR fantasy leagues, with slightly lesser appeal in standard play.

New York Jets running back Isaiah Davis took a step back in Week 10, operating in a clear second capacity to backfield mate Breece Hall, again leaving his role in question. Davis entered New York's bye week coming off a season-high in touches (12), yards (109), and snap share (46%). However, he saw a dip in their win over the Browns, while the team leaned on Hall as its workhorse. The second-year pro looked to be on the upswing, but he'll slide in the rankings ahead of another rough matchup in the New England Patriots. In addition, head coach Aaron Glenn has declined to name a starting quarterback for the third consecutive game, leaving the offense's potential for flux high. While Davis might be worth handcuff consideration, Hall's domination of the backfield touches and New York's low offensive floor leave him on the lower end of that spectrum. He's RotoBaller's PPR RB49 ahead of Week 11.
From RotoBaller
Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Parker Washington (hamstring) was unable to practice on Wednesday. This is not good news for the Jaguars as Washington has seen nearly 30 targets over the last three games. It's unclear when he suffered the hamstring injury as he hauled in three of his seven targets for 33 yards during Sunday's loss to the Houston Texans. His status will need to be monitored throughout the week as the Jags head into a matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 11.
From RotoBaller
Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Ladd McConkey (ankle) was a limited participant during Wednesday's practice session. It appears McConkey picked up a minor ankle injury during last weekend's contest. McConkey didn't appear to be impacted by it as he recorded four receptions for 107 yards and a touchdown in the win over the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Chargers are likely just being cautious with their young stud wideout early in the week. Barring any setbacks, McConkey should be out there for the Week 11 matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

New York Jets running back Breece Hall will get another stiff test this week when his team takes on their division-rival New England Patriots on the road at Gillette Stadium. Hall and the Jets got their second win of the season in Week 10, riding two special teams touchdowns to victory. Despite the offense's struggles against an imposing Cleveland defense, the former second-round pick rewarded fantasy managers who stuck with him, posting at least 100 scrimmage yards and a score in his second consecutive appearance. Hall did most of his damage on a 42-yard touchdown grab, but it was nice to see New York lean on him. That should be the case again, particularly with wide receiver Garrett Wilson (knee) set to miss potentially a month. The Iowa State product won't have it easy, as New England has yielded the fewest rushing yards per contest (79.2). That said, he's the only playmaker still standing and should benefit from Wilson's absence in the passing game. Hall lands as RotoBaller's PPR RB17 for his matchup on Thursday Night Football.

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Quentin Johnston (shin) was a limited participant during Wednesday's practice session. Johnston has popped up on the injury report with a shin injury that he might've suffered during Sunday's game. It didn't stop him from performing as he hauled in five of his 10 targets for 42 yards in the win over the Pittsburgh Steelers. Fellow wideout Ladd McConkey (ankle) is also on the injury report and was limited on Wednesday. This was likely the Chargers just being cautious with their wideouts, but it's something to monitor throughout the week.
