Running back Peyton Hillis missed practice for the third straight day Friday with sore ribs and is listed as questionable for Sunday against the Steelers and their No. 1-ranked run defense.

"I'm still optimistic he'll be able to play," said coach Eric Mangini. "I feel pretty good about it, but we'll see."

If Hillis is limited during the game, the Browns will rely on Mike Bell and also use Joshua Cribbs in the backfield, both in the wildcat formation and maybe in the regular offense.

Fantasy Impact:

No Browns RBs should be counted on in a matchup with the Steelers.

Cowboys "moving away" from RBBC, declaring Rico Dowdle No. 1 RB

Mike McCarthy moving away from running back by committee concept, declaring Rico Dowdle the No. 1 RB. “Rico needs to touch the ball,” he said.

Related Players: Ezekiel Elliott, Deuce Vaughn, Dalvin Cook, Hunter Luepke

Fantasy Impact:

This is great and all, but the Cooper Rush-led offense looked beyond miserable last week, and it's hard to see how it's going to get much better moving forward. Consider Dowdle a high-floor/low-ceiling RB3 in Week 11.

WR Jonathan Mingo set to make Cowboys debut in Week 11

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.

Related Players: Jalen Tolbert, KaVontae Turpin, Jalen Brooks

Fantasy Impact:

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.
