Giants QB Jaxson Dart out vs. Packers; Jameis Winston to start

Field Level Media

New York Giants rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the visiting Green Bay Packers, the team announced Friday.

Dart sustained a concussion during New York's 24-20 setback to the Chicago Bears.

Although Russell Wilson replaced Dart in that game, veteran Jameis Winston was announced on Wednesday to be Giants' starter versus Green Bay (5-3-1) if the rookie was unable to play.

Also on Friday, the Giants (2-8) ruled out wide receiver Darius Slayton (hamstring) and linebacker Kayvon Thibodeaux (shoulder). Neither player participated in practice throughout the week.

New York listed safety Tyler Nubin (neck) and defensive lineman Rakeem Nunez-Roches (toe) as doubtful after both players failed to participate in practice this week. Linebacker Bobby Okereke (shoulder) was limited in practice Friday and is questionable to face the Packers.

Winston, 31, inked a two-year, $8 million deal with New York in the offseason. He has yet to see action this season.

Drafted No. 1 overall in 2015 by Tampa Bay, Winston made the Pro Bowl as a rookie and topped the NFL with 5,109 passing yards for the Buccaneers in 2019.

Winston is 36-51 as a starter, completing 61.2% of his passes for 24,225 yards, 154 touchdowns and 111 interceptions in 105 games (87 starts) with the Bucs (2015-19), New Orleans Saints (2020-23) and Cleveland Browns (2024).

His last appearance came in Cleveland's 21-7 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 15 of last season.

Wilson, who turns 37 on Nov. 29, replaced Dart in the second half against the Bears and completed 3 of 7 passes for 45 yards while being sacked twice.

Slayton, 28, has 23 catches for 343 yards in eight games this season.

Brian Thomas Jr.

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr. (ankle) is currently listed as questionable for the upcoming Week 11 matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers. Thomas is hopeful to get back on the field this weekend after sitting out last week's loss to the Houston Texans. Thomas was limited in practice all week due to a high-ankle sprain. If he plays, fantasy managers should view him as a WR2. Otherwise, Jakobi Meyers and Parker Washington will likely lead the passing attack.

D'Andre Swift

Chicago Bears running back D'Andre Swift (hip) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Minnesota Vikings. Swift was limited in practice to begin the week due to a hip issue. After that, Swift was able to get in two full practices which was enough to clear him for this contest. He figures to resume his role as the lead back, but Kyle Monangai has earned a bigger role in recent weeks. Last week, Swift rushed for 80 yards while hauling in five passes in the win over the New York Giants. He does enough to warrant starting as a RB2 for Week 11.

Cameron Dicker Nov 14 5:20pm CT
Cameron Dicker

Los Angeles Chargers kicker Cameron Dicker, who has missed only two field goals all season, remains a highly accurate and reliable fantasy option. This week, he heads to Jacksonville, where the game is expected to be played in pleasant 77-degree sunny weather at kickoff, ideal conditions for a kicker. Against a Jacksonville Jaguars defense that has shown vulnerability to allowing points, Dicker should get multiple scoring opportunities. His consistent accuracy, combined with favorable game conditions, makes him a high-floor starter. Dicker is projected as K6 this week and is a must-start in all formats.

Tez Johnson Nov 14 5:10pm CT
Tez Johnson

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Tez Johnson has made the most of his extra playing time over the last few weeks. Last week, Johnson hauled in four of his five targets for 42 yards with two touchdowns in the loss to the New England Patriots. The rookie wideout has four touchdowns over his last four games. He played a season-high 83 percent of the offensive snaps during last weekend's game. Johnson is earning the trust of the Bucs offense and his making the plays when called upon. Given his recent performances and the injuries to this roster, Johnson should be able to offer WR3 value for the upcoming Week 11 matchup against the Buffalo Bills.

Quentin Johnston Nov 14 5:10pm CT
Quentin Johnston

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Quentin Johnston (shin) is listed as questionable heading into Week 11, but he put in a full practice on Friday, suggesting he is likely to play. Johnston led the team with 10 targets last week, finishing with five receptions for 42 yards. The Bolts' depleted offensive line is forcing Justin Herbert into quick throws, which has limited the deep connection with Johnston that we saw earlier in the season. Nonetheless, he faces a vulnerable Jacksonville Jaguars secondary that has allowed 31 receptions of 20 yards or more, which plays to Johnston's strengths. If cleared, he has a favorable matchup against CB Greg Newsome, who allows a 66.7% catch rate. Based on his recent target share and the matchup, Johnston is a viable boom-or-bust WR3 and is ranked as RotoBaller's WR26.

Tory Horton

Seattle Seahawks rookie wide receiver Tory Horton (groin, shin) has been ruled out for a big Week 11 divisional contest this Sunday against the hosting Los Angeles Rams and will miss a second straight game, according to Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic. Just when Horton seemed to be coming on strong for the Seahawks offense in his first year -- he had four catches for 48 yards and two touchdowns in his last game on Nov. 2 against the Washington Commanders -- he gets hurt. When the 22-year-old does return to action, he'll be contending with newcomer Rashid Shaheed for targets. Veteran Cooper Kupp is also back from his injury. Horton has caught only 13 passes for 161 yards on 22 targets in his eight games played, but he's managed to find the end zone five times. Head coach Mike Macdonald said Seattle could put Horton on Injured Reserve, which would require him to miss at least four games.

Cade Otton

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Cade Otton has been making the most of his extra targets lately. Last week, Otton saw 12 targets while hauling in a season-high nine passes for 82 yards in the loss to the New England Patriots. The handful of injuries to his offense has made Otton a viable option lately. Otton has been able to produce 40 receiving yards or more in each of his last five games. He has done enough on the field to warrant using as a low-end TE1 for the upcoming matchup against the Buffalo Bills.

Josh Jacobs Nov 14 5:00pm CT
Josh Jacobs

Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs has been as automatic a fantasy start as it gets this season, and that remains the case as the Packers travel to MetLife Stadium to face the New York Giants in Week 11. Jacobs has scored in every game this season but one and has been a top-10 fantasy running back in five of the last six weeks. While Jacobs hasn't posted a 100-yard game this season and averages just 68 rushing yards per game, fantasy managers are still beaming at just how inevitable Jacobs has been when it comes to scoring and his involvement in the Packers' offense. With the offensive game plan flowing through Jacobs and the run game each week, he's been the one constant this season for the Packers' offense. Against the New York Giants, who are last in the NFL in defensive EPA per rush attempt, Jacobs is a no-brainer lock for fantasy lineups in Week 11.

Emanuel Wilson Nov 14 5:00pm CT
Emanuel Wilson

Green Bay Packers running back Emanuel Wilson has maintained a solid on-field role, but is just depth at the position when the Packers head to MetLife Stadium to play the New York Giants. While Wilson has seen his snap shares hover around the 32-percent mark in the previous three weeks leading up to Week 10, those snaps dropped to 20 percent against the Eagles on Monday Night Football. The Packers gave Josh Jacobs the bulk of the work on the ground, leaving Wilson to touch the ball just twice for four yards on a target and carry. Jacobs had been a regular sight on the Packers' injury report over the past few weeks, but was not on the report leading up to this week's game against the Giants. Wilson is merely a handcuff for Jacobs in the event he misses a game, but otherwise, leave Wilson on the waiver wire in Week 11.

Luke Musgrave Nov 14 5:00pm CT
Luke Musgrave

Green Bay Packers tight end Luke Musgrave saw his on-field involvement in the Packers' offense jump up considerably and will look to take advantage of his playing time when the Packers head east to MetLife Stadium to face off against the New York Giants. Musgrave's routes and snaps jumped up considerably in the first game without Tucker Kraft after his season-ending injury. While Musgrave's 81 percent of routes per dropback and 76 percent snap share are great for a fantasy tight end, he's not used nearly enough in the passing game to warrant even a streaming start at tight end for fantasy managers. With the Giants allowing the 10th-fewest fantasy points per game to opposing tight ends, Musgrave isn't a recommended start in Week 11.

Sterling Shepard Nov 14 5:00pm CT
Sterling Shepard

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Sterling Shepard hasn't been able to find much success over the last few weeks. Over the last two games, Shepard has been held to four receptions for 28 yards. He did post a seven-catch performance in Week 7, but has been a non-factor since then. It's tough to imagine Shepard being a viable option in most fantasy formats for the upcoming Week 11 matchup against the Buffalo Bills. He's clearly not normally a big part of the passing attack, so he shouldn't be viewed as anything more than a deep league option.

Brandon McManus Nov 14 5:00pm CT
Brandon McManus

Green Bay Packers kicker Brandon McManus has been a hit-or-miss option for fantasy managers this season, but he'll look to right the ship when the Packers head east to MetLife Stadium to square off with the New York Giants in Week 11. McManus has missed at least one field goal in all three games since returning from a quad injury that sidelined him for a pair of games. He's made just 11-of-17 field goals this season after making 20-of-21 field goals last season when replacing Brayden Narveson early last season. McManus could be on the hot seat if he doesn't shore up his accuracy, which puts his fantasy value deep below the pool of rosterable kickers. For Week 11, McManus is somebody to leave on the waiver wire.

Sean Tucker

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Sean Tucker has seen an increased role in the offense over the last few games. Last week, Tucker rushed nine times for 53 yards during the loss to the New England Patriots. The expectation is that Tucker is going to have an expanded role going forward given Rachaad White has been struggling on the ground. It sounds like the two backs will probably split up the workload in the backfield this weekend. That being said, Tucker could have increased fantasy value for the Week 11 contest against the Buffalo Bills. A defensive unit that has struggled to stop opposing backs on the ground. Fantasy managers might be able to trust Tucker as a low-end flex option for this weekend.

Dontayvion Wicks

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Dontayvion Wicks (calf) was limited in practice all week with a calf injury, but he was removed from Friday's final injury report and will be active on Sunday on the road at MetLife Stadium in Week 11 to take on the New York Giants, according to Wes Hodkiewicz of Packers.com. Even with injuries plaguing Green Bay's receiving corps throughout the season, Wicks has yet to find the end zone in 2025 in his third year in the league after scoring nine touchdowns in 2023 and 2024 combined. However, he was targeted a season-high eight times in Monday night's loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, with rookie Matthew Golden (hamstring) sidelined and Romeo Doubs (chest) leaving the game due to injury. The 24-year-old caught four of those targets for just 38 yards. Golden could miss another game this weekend, but both Doubs and Christian Watson (hamstring, knee) will play, which will make Wicks a hard sell in fantasy as a flex play, despite the good matchup.

Jordan Love Nov 14 4:50pm CT
Jordan Love

Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love has had a rough go of it over the last couple of weeks, but Love looks to bounce back with a Week 11 matchup against the New York Giants. Love has been an unstartable fantasy in most weeks this season, and in his past two games, Love has finished QB24 in both weeks and has combined for just 17.8 fantasy points. In his last two matchups against the Carolina Panthers and Philadelphia Eagles, Love has zero touchdown passes and thrown one interception, while averaging 225 yards passing. Even with Love getting Romeo Doubs (chest) returning as he was removed from the injury report, it's difficult to justify Love as a fantasy-worthy quarterback. Even in a plus matchup against the New York Giants in Week 11, it's wise to leave Love on waivers or on your bench.

Emeka Egbuka

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Emeka Egbuka bounced back nicely during last week's game against the New England Patriots. The rookie wideout posted a few duds over the last couple of games, but played well last weekend. Egbuka hauled in six of his 13 targets for 115 yards and a touchdown in the loss. The Bucs offense is extremely banged up, so Egbuka should likely continue seeing double digit targets. Sadly, Egbuka and quarterback Baker Mayfield haven't always been on the same page. The upside is too high to be ignored, so plug in Egbuka as a WR1 against the Buffalo Bills in Week 11.

Keenan Allen Nov 14 4:50pm CT
Keenan Allen

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen enters Week 11 as the franchise's all-time receptions leader, but his fantasy production remains concerning. Allen has caught four or fewer passes in his last three games, with only 15 targets during that span and just one red-zone target. Although he faces a vulnerable Jacksonville Jaguars secondary that has struggled to defend big plays, his significantly reduced snap share and route rate limit the volume he needs to succeed for fantasy managers. While he might have a favorable individual matchup against Jaguars cornerback Montaric Brown, who is allowing a 13.5-yard average depth of target (ADOT), the overall decrease in usage downgrades him to a high-end WR4/FLEX option. Setting expectations accordingly is wise, as he is no longer the volume-dependent starter he was earlier in the season.

Baker Mayfield

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield is coming off a solid bounce back performance against the New England Patriots last weekend. Mayfield completed 28-of-43 passing attempts for 273 yards with three touchdowns and zero interceptions in the loss. The Bucs remain shorthanded on offense, but that hasn't stopped Mayfield from posting strong numbers. This is a pass-heavy offense that continues to find ways to get it down despite the injuries. Fantasy managers should continue plugging in Mayfield as a QB1 for the upcoming matchup against the Buffalo Bills.

Zach Charbonnet Nov 14 4:40pm CT
Zach Charbonnet

Seattle Seahawks running back Zach Charbonnet is running into a tough matchup in Week 11 against the Los Angeles Rams. The Rams are No. 2 against opposing running backs in fantasy. This defensive front simply does not allow running backs to get loose. Charbonnet has been a more efficient runner of late. He is coming off a game in which he ran for 5.93 yards per carry. However, Charbonnet's lack of passing game usage continues to be concerning. He has just eight targets on the season. Luckily, Charbonnet has scored six touchdowns, resulting in several flex or RB2 weeks. With the Seahawks' offense often at or near the goal line, Charbonnet's chances to score remain high on a weekly basis. In Week 11, it will be difficult to count on a touchdown from Charbonnet. With the Rams likely to keep the Seahawks out of scoring position more often than not, you could end up with a serious dud performance from the third-year pro. As such, Charbonnet should remain on your bench this week.

Kenneth Walker III Nov 14 4:40pm CT
Kenneth Walker III

Seattle Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III is not a fantasy starter in Week 11 against the Los Angeles Rams. Walker is running solidly for Seattle, but he has not been able to break off a big play or find the end zone consistently in 2025. Additionally, Seattle is relying on running back Zach Charbonnet at the goal line. Even when Seattle is in scoring position, Walker often does not have a chance to punch it in. What is more, the Rams are No. 2 against opposing running backs in fantasy. They are allowing just 3.74 yards per carry to opposing running backs. To make matters worse, the Rams are No. 15 in receiving yards allowed to opposing running backs, limiting what little receiving upside Walker has. Walker has not scored double-digit fantasy points since Week 4. He has not scored a touchdown since Week 3. He is not receiving enough volume to overcome the lack of touchdowns, either. Walker should be benched in Week 11, and he is approaching drop candidate status.
