Jonathan Mingo is expected to make his debut for the Cowboys this week, per MM.

Mingo was inactive last week following the trade to allow time for ramping up.

We wouldn't expect a ton of action from Mingo fantasy-wise, but it's not as if he has a murderer's row of talent standing between himself and a WR2 role. He can be left on waiver wires in most every format, but might be worth checking to see if he ended up on waiver wires in Dynasty leagues.

Seahawks WR DK Metcalf was a full participant today in practice after missing two games with a knee injury. A sign that he'll be back on Sunday.

Great news for fantasy managers and the Seahawks offense, alike. Slot Metcalf in as a WR2, JSN as a WR3, and boost Geno Smith while you're at it.

Commanders RB Brian Robinson Jr. is off the injury report and good to go against the Eagles.

Related Players: Austin Ekeler, Chris Rodriguez, Jeremy McNichols

Great news for Robinson, who should lead the backfield charge once again in Week 11, though he has a tough matchup against the Eagles front. He should be considered a low-end RB2, with Ekeler falling back into the fringe RB2/3 sphere.

Gardner Minshew will start at QB for Raiders, says coach Antonio Pierce.

Related Players: Desmond Ridder, Aidan O'Connell

Minshew is —quite impressively— the QB38 in FPPG (8.3), with four separate performances under 8 fantasy points. He can remain on benches in all formats.

Anthony Richardson started just 10 NFL games before being benched, but now returns and will be the starter for the rest of the season.

The Colts are adamant they have not given up on him, and coach Shane Steichen noted today he's seen Richardson make strides over the last two weeks.

Richardson blew up in the fantasy box score in Week 1 (26.1 points, three all-purpose touchdowns) but has been held under 12 points in his five other appearances. He should be kept on benches for now.

Davante Adams is not practicing today, Ulbrich said. He has an illness and some wrist soreness.

Related Players: Garrett Wilson, Xavier Gipson, Malachi Corley, Tyler Conklin

Adams took 13 targets for 31 yards last week, which is definitely enough to make anyone feel ill. He now has 206 yards on 38 targets over his Jets tenure, for a cool 5.42 yards per target. He's definitely getting the volume, but should be considered a moderate WR2 if he suits up.

Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence (shoulder) is out again this week, per coach Doug Pederson. Mac Jones starts again at Detroit.

In Mac Jones' first start, the Jaguars managed only 7 points while the quarterback took 22 pass attempts to reach a 111-0-2 stat line. This is a downgrade to all Jaguars pass-catchers, while Jones is unplayable in fantasy lineups.

Panthers RB Miles Sanders, who was carted off with a foot/ankle injury in Germany, is considered day-to-day after extensive tests and a visit with an expert, sources say.

They want the swelling to go down, and he could miss a little time. But as of now, not considered major.

Related Players: Chuba Hubbard, Jonathon Brooks

Even with the Panthers Week 11 bye week, it's hard to envision much of a role for Sanders moving forward, with Brooks slated to become a part of the offense after the bye. Even if Brooks doesn't see the field, Sanders shouldn't be held on any fantasy rosters right now.

After the game, coach Kyle Shanahan said that, from this point forward, Jauan Jennings will be playing the high-profile X-receiver position that Brandon Aiyuk manned before his season-ending knee injury.

Related players: Deebo Samuel, Ricky Pearsall

Jennings responded with a team-high 93 receiving yards, including 36 yards after the catch, the story pointed out. His 13-yard catch-and-run at the end of the game set up the game-winning field goal. Pearsall, meanwhile, finished second on the team with 73 receiving yards. Jennings played a 58 snaps at WR to lead all the 49ers at the position. Samuel had 48 snaps and Pearsall 41.

Shanahan said George Kittle emerged from the game with “hamstring irritation” that will be monitored throughout the week.

Kittle had just three catches, but each was significant, the story said. Owners will want to monitor this as Kittle has been among the top fantasy TEs this season. The 49ers host the Seahawks in a key division game in the later Sunday window in Week 11.
