The Chargers ruled out WR Keenan Allen for Thursday night vs. the Raiders. A key weapon missing for new starting QB Easton Stick.

Related Players: Joshua Palmer, Quentin Johnston

The Chargers offense is shaping up to be a full fade outside of Austin Ekeler. Joshua Palmer can be considered for FLEX spots, but this is also his first game action since Week 8.

Chargers WR Keenan Allen (heel) missed his second straight practice on the team’s estimated report.

LA plays on Thursday night against the Raiders. With Justin Herbert out, and Easton Stick in at QB, things could get ugly for the Chargers on offense in Week 15. Palmer is off the IR and could very well serve as the team's WR1 with Johnston and Guyton also in the mix. Unfortunately for fantasy owners, the Chargers really don't have a reason to rush Allen back on the field at this point.

Eagles’ RB D’Andre Swift was not listed on today’s injury report, and TE Dallas Goedert was a full participant at today’s practice.

Swift coming off the injury report so early in the week should point towards his typical role within the explosive offense.

Goedert looks to see in-game action for the first time since Week 9, and it comes against a huge divisional game against the Dallas Cowboys. His target share will always be somewhat capped with DeVonta Smith and A.J. Brown on the field, but he has notched two huge games for a struggling fantasy position: 8-117-1 in Week 5 and 5-77-1 in Week 7.

Zach Wilson -- benched in each of the past two seasons, most recently in late November in favor of Tim Boyle, who was released yesterday -- has been named the Jets' starting quarterback for Sunday's game vs. the Texans.

Wilson should be avoided in all fantasy formats wherever possible, no matter how deep the league is. Garrett Wilson should receive a small boost, but still remains a WR2.

Tim Boyle, the No. 3 quarterback who became the starter after the Jets benched Zach Wilson, will be released by the Jets, according to Josina Anderson of CBS Sports.

The Jets also will be signing quarterback Brett Rypien from the Seattle practice squad.

There is no update on who the Jets plan to start this week. There are conflicting reports about the team wanting to go back to Wilson but Wilson being reluctant to play. With Boyle out of the picture and Rypien perhaps needing more time to get up to speed, it could mean Siemian gets the nob. We'll likely know more by later in the week, but it probably goes without saying no one is really a good option outside of desperation plays in deeper two-QB or superflex leagues and dynasty leagues.

Bears QB Justin Fields is off the injury report and will start Sunday against the Lions.

Related Players: Tyson Bagent

Fields is immediately placed back into top-10 QB territory, and D.J. Moore is a solid WR2 with upside for more after finishing the first five weeks of the season with 531 receiving yards and five touchdowns.

TE Gerald Everett was not practicing today. His injury designation will be changed from back to chest on today's report after further evaluation.

Related Players: Donald Parham, Stone Smartt

If Everett were to miss, it would be a huge boon for Parham's touchdown equity, but there is a cap on his target share, particularly if Keenan Allen is good to go for Week 11. Parham has four touchdowns on the season, but has only been targeted more than four times on only two occurrences over the last two seasons. He could be considered a desperation streamer sans Everett.

Keenan Allen (shoulder) is back at practice today.

Allen had a huge fantasy performance in Week 10, going 11-175-2 on 13 targets but was having shoulder issues after the game. He looks like he will be a full-go for Week 11 and is a must-start against the Packers on Sunday.

Bears QB Justin Fields, out the last month with a dislocated thumb, is expected to start Sunday vs the Lions, assuming today’s practice goes well. The key has been regaining grip strength, and Fields was nearly there before TNF. With a solid practice, he will be.

Fields is immediately placed back into top-10 QB territory if he starts, and D.J. Moore is a solid WR2 with upside for more after finishing the first five weeks of the season with 531 receiving yards and five touchdowns.

Coach Brandon Staley said Monday that Keenan Allen (shoulder) is day-to-day, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.

Allen left the game but did return. He should be good to go in Week 11, but it will be worth checking out the injury reports this week just to make sure. Allen finished with 11 catches on 14 targets for 175 yards and two touchdowns.
