Vikings upgraded JJ McCarthy from limited practice on Wednesday to full practice today, putting him on track to start Sunday.

Related Players: Max Brosmer, John Wolford

Looks like McCarthy should get the start here in a good matchup against the Bears defense. Consider him a streaming option and put him in top-15 consideration with a nice rushing floor.

Jaguars WR Parker Washington (hamstring) back at practice today. RT Anton Harrison (knee/ankle) was not. CB Jourdan Lewis (neck) working off to the side.

Related Players: Jakobi Meyers, Tim Patrick, Dyami Brown, Austin Trammell

Good news for managers who grabbed Washington off the waiver wire over the past couple of weeks. He should be in line for enough usage to be considered a WR3 in Week 11.

Texans not practicing:
C.J. Stroud, Jalen Pitre (concussions, both set to miss #Titans game
Dalton Schultz (shoulder) and Harrison Bryant (neck, shoulder)
Ka'imi Fairbairn (quad)
Practicing again
Ed Ingram (knee)
Tytus Howard (concussion protocol)
Cade Stover (foot)

Related Players: Davis Mills

It looks like it will be Mills yet again, but the lowly 37.5-point game total doesn't point toward a ton of fantasy goodness. Consider him somewhere in the QB20 range if he ends up getting the nod.

Texans tight end Dalton Schultz (shoulder) not practicing

Related Players: Harrison Bryant

Bryant is the only other tight end currently on the 53-man roster, but it would be a stretch to plug him into fantasy lineups if Schultz were to miss. Schultz has 13+ half-PPR points in three of his last four games, so he would be in streaming considerations if he does play, but it's not trending in the right direction.

Ravens QB Lamar Jackson returned to practice Thursday.

He didn’t practice Wednesday because of knee soreness.

But Jackson moved around well during media viewing and looks set to start Sunday at Browns.

Related Players: Tyler Huntley

Looks like it was nothing more than a false alarm, which puts Jackson right into top-5 consideration, even against a tough Browns defense.

Bucky Irving and Chris Godwin Jr. were practicing again for the #Bucs.

No Ben Bredeson or Haason Reddick.

Related Players: Rachaad White, Sean Tucker, Tez Johnson, Sterling Shepard

We would assume the two would be in a limited role if Irving or Godwin do play this weekend, which would make White a fringe RB2/3 once again, with Tez Johnson as a WR3.

We'll know more after Friday's practice as to how much Irving/Godwin will be able to play in Week 11.

The Patriots ruled out RB Rhamondre Stevenson, WR Kayshon Boutte, and TE Austin Hooper for Thursday night vs. the Jets.

Related Players: TreVeyon Henderson, D'Ernest Johnson, Stefon Diggs, Mack Hollins, Demario Douglas

This will be another RB2 week for Henderson, while Diggs stays in his WR2 role, with Hollins and Douglas operating as desperation FLEX plays.

The Jets downgraded WR Garrett Wilson and CB Azareye’h Thomas to out for TNF.

Related Players: Tyler Johnson, Isaiah Williams, Adonai Mitchell, Allen Lazard, Mason Taylor

Unless you're in a 16-team league or deeper, we would suggest fading the Jets wide receiver room wherever possible. Tight end Mason Taylor could legitimately end up being the No. 1 pass-catcher on Thursday Night Football, which makes him a TE streamer candidate.

Ravens QB Lamar Jackson is NOT practicing today.

Also not practicing: WR Rashod Bateman (ankle), RB Justice Hill, CB Marlon Humphrey (finger), ILB Jay Higgins (knee).

Related Players: Tyler Huntley

It's still early in the week but this is not the news the Ravens or fantasy managers wanted to see. We'd expect Snoop Huntley to grab another start, but he wasn't especially fantasy relevant in his two starts this season. He'd be a deep 2QB play if he ends up getting the nod.

Bucs RB Bucky Irving, who hasn't played since late-September, is back at practice.

Related Players: Rachaad White, Sean Tucker

Still a long way to go for him to suit up here in Week 11, but it's certainly a good sign for managers who have been stashing him away for most of the year. We would assume he would be in a limited role if he does play this weekend, which makes White a fringe RB2/3 once again.
