Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins (illness) was kept out of practice Thursday, making his status for Sunday’s game versus Washington unclear. Higgins has emerged as a favorite target of fellow rookie, Joe Burrow, since Week 1, having thrust his name into Offensive Rookie of the Year conversation with 40 receptions for 603 yards and four touchdowns in nine games. Having compiled his second career

Kansas City Chiefs running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire (illness) was held out of practice Thursday, thereby throwing his status for Sunday’s game versus the Raiders into flux. Since Edwards-Helaire’s breakout game in Week 6 against Buffalo, he has seen a sharp downturn in production as Kansas City has both focused more heavily in the passing game, while also acclimating Le’Veon Bell to the offense. Having seen

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Sammy Watkins (calf) popped up on the team’s injury report again Thursday as a limited practice participant, this time due to a calf ailment. Watkins has been out of the mix since Week 5 due to a recurrent hamstring injury and was trending toward being cleared to play Sunday versus Las Vegas before the latest news. His usage in the

Houston Texans wide receiver Will Fuller V faces a tough matchup in Week 11 against the Patriots. New England’s defense has surrendered the second-fewest targets per game and the 10th-fewest receiving yards to opposing wideouts this season. However, they’ve also allowed 12 touchdowns to receivers, which is the seventh-most in the league. That just so happens to be what Fuller does the best, as he’s

Houston Texans running back Duke Johnson (illness) was able to practice in a limited fashion on Thursday. That’s a step in the right direction for Johnson, who was unable to take the practice field on Wednesday. If he’s able to go, he’ll be looking at an RB2-like workload, as he’s handled 18 and 14 touches in the last two weeks, respectively. The Patriots’ run defense

Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson gets a great chance to redeem himself against the Patriots in Week 11 after last week’s dud. Week 10 was the first time Watson has failed to throw for at least 250 yards this year and just the third time that he’s been held to one touchdown pass- that’s how good he’s been this season. The Texans will likely need

Kansas City Chiefs offensive tackles Eric Fisher and Mitchell Schwartz were activated from the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Thursday and are good to go for Week 11 against the division-rival Raiders. It’s great news for KC’s offensive line, quarterback Patrick Mahomes and the running game as they look to avenge their loss earlier this season to the Raiders. Mahomes completed only 22 of his 43 pass

The Philadelphia Eagles are bringing in free-agent running back Jordan Howard for a visit. Howard was a free-agent bust for the Dolphins after playing in just five games for them this year. He was cut three days ago and passed through waivers unclaimed, so he’s free to sign with any team at this point. Howard spent the 2019 season with the Eagles, carrying the ball

The Philadelphia Eagles placed running back Corey Clement and defensive end Vinny Curry on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Thursday as close contacts of an individual that tested positive for coronavirus. Wide receivers J.J. Arcega-Whiteside, John Hightower and Deontay Burnett were also put on the COVID-19 list on Thursday. Miles Sanders is the team’s lead running back heading into Week 11 against the Browns, with Boston

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (foot) wasn’t seen at practice on Thursday. Kamara was able to get in a limited practice on Wednesday, so the Saints may just be giving him a little breather similar to a few weeks ago when the star running back was dealing with some sore toes. It’s too early to panic, but fantasy managers will be watching Kamara’s

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Davante Adams (ankle) missed his second straight day of practice on Thursday with an ankle injury. Two missed practices to start the week is never a good sign for any player, especially one with Green Bay, as their medical staff is typically one of the most cautious in the league. Adams will need to at least get in a limited

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling will have a tough matchup in Week 11 against a Colts Defense that is allowing the seventh fewest fantasy points to opposing receivers this season. Valdez-Scantling came up huge last week, posting 149 receiving yards and now has three touchdowns over his last two games played. But it simply will be hard to trust the 26-year-old against a

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Davante Adams will try and extend his touchdown streak to five games in Week 11 when the Packers take on the Colts. Adams (ankle) has been limited in practice this week but currently is trending towards being able to suit up. He will go up against a Colts Defense that is allowing the seventh fewest fantasy points to opposing receivers

The Seattle Seahawks placed cornerback Quinton Dunbar (knee) on Injured Reserve on Thursday and activated defensive tackle Damon Harrison and running back Bo Scarbrough from the practice squad in corresponding moves. It’s unclear if Dunbar will be able to make it back this season. He has 30 tackles (28 solo), one interception and five passes defensed in six games in 2020. Shaquill Griffin will also

Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones will have a tough task producing in Week 11 against a Colts Defense that is allowing the third fewest fantasy points to opposing backs. Jones opened the season with touchdowns in each of his first five games but has gone scoreless for two games in a row. The Colts have allowed only five rushing touchdowns all season and

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers will go up against a Colts Defense that is allowing the fewest fantasy points to opposing passers this season. The Colts have allowed only two quarterbacks to post 20+ fantasy points against them and only 11 passing touchdowns through 10 games. The matchup is stout but Rodgers is having an MVP-type season, throwing 13 touchdowns over his last four

Detroit Lions wide receivers Kenny Golladay (hip) and Danny Amendola (hip) both missed practice on Wednesday. Golladay returned to practice on Wednesday after missing the last two weeks, so this is a concerning development unless the Lions were just giving him a day to rest. Amendola has yet to practice this week, making it seem unlikely that he’ll suit up this Sunday against the Panthers.

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson will go up against a Cowboys Defense in Week 11 that is allowing the third most fantasy points to opposing receivers. Dallas has allowed 15 touchdowns to receivers and 12 different players have posted 70 or more receiving yards against them. Jefferson has been hit-or-miss at times this season but when he hits, the rookie delivers. Jefferson has posted

Detroit Lions rookie running back D’Andre Swift (concussion) didn’t practice on Thursday because of a brain injury, putting his status for Week 11 against the Panthers in question. Swift made his first career start in Week 10 in the win over Washington, carrying the ball 16 times for 81 yards and adding 68 receiving yards. If Swift were to miss this Sunday’s game, veteran Adrian

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Adam Thielen will have a juicy matchup in Week 11 against a porous Cowboys Defense. Thielen is coming off a two-touchdown performance and is tied in the NFL among wide receivers in touchdowns with nine. The veteran will go up against a Cowboys defense that is allowing the third most fantasy points to opposing receivers this season, including 15 touchdowns to
