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.

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.

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.

Edge rusher Bryce Huff (hand) was also listed as a full participant. Linebacker Nakobe Dean (groin), tight end Dallas Goedert (ankle), cornerback Darius Slay (ankle), and wide receiver DeVonta Smith (hamstring) were listed as limited for the second straight day.

Goedert was listed as limited on Monday as well while Smith was listed as DNP. Goedert is dealing with a new ankle injury while Smith has a hamstring issue. Both are expected to play in a key, division showdown Thursday night against the Commanders.

Offensive tackle Brandon Coleman (shoulder), center Tyler Biadasz (ribs/thumb/foot), defensive end Clelin Ferrell (knee), offensive tackle Cornelius Lucas (ankle), offensive tackle Andrew Wylie (shoulder), and running back Brian Robinson (hamstring) are listed as limited.

Robinson has missed three of the last five games, including the last two. He's hoping to play on Thursday night in a division showdown against the Eagles but as of now it's looking like another game-time call. Hopefully we'll know more tomorrow as today was just an estimation.

On Tuesday, Texans head coach DeMeco Ryans was asked about the decision to keep Nico Collins on the bench. He said, via multiple reporters, that Collins did not suffer a setback with his injury and the team simply made a game-time decision to leave him in street clothes.

The Texans activated Collins from injured reserve last Saturday, much to the excitement of his fantasy owners. The story said it was a surprise that the team went ahead with activating Collins, who had missed four games with a hamstring injury, without playing him because he could have remained on injured reserve and practiced with the team for another two weeks before nearing the end of the window to bring him back to the 53-man roster. The hope is Collins is back for Week 11, but it's a Monday night game at Dallas, so owners will have to look to get some good news later this week, or have a backup plan heading into Monday night if he's a game-time call.

Tyreek Hill said he has a torn ligament in the wrist but has been playing through it.

Hill told Salters the wrist really became an issue when he was arrested and taken to the ground by the police earlier this year. He added that the arrest "messed me up" but he wasn't going to let it stop him. For now, it looks like Hill will continue to play through the injury, but the Dolphins are just 3-6 on the season, so it's possible with another loss or two, Hill could get shut down to heal the injury and come back in 2025. Hill only had four targets in Week 10 against the Rams, catching three for just 16 yards, but he did have a touchdown. He also rushed twice for 11 yards.

NFL insider Adam Schefter recently said his 'guess' is Daniel Jones has played his last down for the Giants.

The Giants have a bye this week, so it seems like as good a time as any to make a change. Schefter said Brian Daboll's tone changed this week with his comment about evaluating everything after being more firm in the past about Jones being the starter whenever he was asked. Jones has a $23 million injury guaranteed as well, according to Schefter. Schefter compared the Giants situation with Jones to when Russell Wilson, Derek Carr and Jimmy Garoppolo all got benched during the season. Schefter added he would expect Lock to get the start when the Giants are back in Week 12.

The quarterback play has been terrible, and the Raiders are expected to make the change to Desmond Ridder after Gardner Minshew II was benched for a third time this season.

O'Connell is expected to miss 4-6 weeks and is on IR. He could return in December based on that timeline, but for Week 11, it looks like the Raiders are going with Ridder against the Dolphins. Ridder was just recently signed off the wire and made his debut in relief of Minshew when we last saw the Raiders in Week 9. Ridder likely won't make an impact as the starter, but the hope is the offense continues to target Bowers at TE and Meyers at WR so their fantasy stock remains steady.
