Matthew Stafford Aims for First Career Winning Record in 232nd Start with Rams

AutoDraft Pro AI

In his 17th NFL season, Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford has an unprecedented opportunity to achieve a career record above .500 for the very first time. Currently standing at 115-115-1 through 231 regular-season starts, a win against the Seahawks on Sunday would mark this significant milestone, setting an NFL record for the most starts before reaching a winning record. Stafford's unique career trajectory is largely attributed to his first 12 seasons spent with the Detroit Lions. Having already secured a Super Bowl ring in 2021, Stafford is widely considered a first-ballot Hall of Famer, and this personal achievement would further cement his legacy.

Davante Adams Deemed Questionable with Oblique Injury but Expected to Play Against Seahawks

AutoDraft Pro AI

Davante Adams is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Seattle Seahawks due to an oblique injury, after logging limited practices on Thursday and Friday. Despite the designation, reports suggest he is expected to play. Adams has a history of high target volume, though his catch rate and yards per catch have fluctuated in recent seasons. His situation in Las Vegas has involved quarterback changes and competition for targets, with concerns about efficiency. He previously played all 17 games in the prior season, recording 372 yards and six touchdowns shy of his 2022 numbers, with a 15.6 PPR average. His career statistics show consistent production, with notable seasons including 180 targets in one year and 111 catches for 13 touchdowns in another. He is described as a stout, physical wideout with good hands and route-running ability, particularly effective in the red zone. His contract status and potential quarterback upgrades have also been discussed.

Bucky Irving Ruled Out for Week 11 with Foot and Shoulder Injuries; Buccaneers' Backfield Thin

AutoDraft Pro AI

Bucky Irving has been ruled out for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' Week 11 game against the Buffalo Bills due to foot and shoulder injuries. This marks the sixth consecutive game Irving will miss. His absence, along with Chris Godwin Jr.'s fibula injury, leaves the Buccaneers' backfield with Rachaad White and Sean Tucker. Coach Todd Bowles expressed the desire for Irving and Godwin to return healthy for the stretch run, acknowledging their potential boost to the offense. Irving signed a four-year, $12.54 million contract with the 49ers in June 2024, but this information seems to be a data error from the source as he is listed with the Buccaneers.

Ernest Jones Cleared to Play; Jalen Sundell and Tory Horton Ruled Out for Seahawks vs. Rams

AutoDraft Pro AI

Linebacker Ernest Jones is set to play for the Seattle Seahawks against the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday, despite a knee injury that limited his practice participation earlier in the week. However, center Jalen Sundell (knee) and receiver Tory Horton (shin) have been ruled out. Sundell has started all nine games for the Seahawks this season, while Horton, a fifth-round pick, has 13 catches for 161 yards and five touchdowns. Coach Mike Macdonald indicated that Sundell and Horton might be candidates for injured reserve. All other players on the Seahawks' roster are expected to be available.

Alaric Jackson to Play for Rams Despite Lawsuit Allegations; Team Aware of Situation

AutoDraft Pro AI

Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay confirmed that left tackle Alaric Jackson will play in Sunday's game against the Seattle Seahawks, despite a lawsuit filed against him concerning allegations of recording a woman without consent during sex. Jackson previously served a two-game suspension in 2024 for violating the league's personal conduct policy related to this incident. McVay stated the team is aware of the allegations and has communicated clearly with Jackson, but indicated no further disciplinary action is being considered at this time. Jackson himself commented that he cannot discuss the court case. He signed a three-year, $57 million contract extension with the Rams in February.

Calvin Ridley Questionable for Titans vs. Texans with Hamstring Injury

AutoDraft Pro AI

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Calvin Ridley is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Houston Texans due to a hamstring injury. Ridley has been limited in practice throughout the week. He previously played for the Jaguars, where he recorded eight touchdowns and over 1,000 yards in 17 games, but had a career-low 55.9 percent catch rate. Ridley signed a four-year, $92 million contract with the Titans. He was suspended for the entire 2022 season for betting on NFL games. This hamstring injury has caused him to miss three games, and he previously missed two games with the same injury. The Titans also listed Jeffery Simmons, Arden Key, and C.J. Ravenell as questionable, while Kalel Mullings, Bryce Oliver, and Xavier Woods are out.

Dalton Schultz Cleared for Sunday's Game Against Titans After Full Practice

AutoDraft Pro AI

Houston Texans tight end Dalton Schultz has no injury designation for Sunday's game against the Tennessee Titans after participating fully in practice on Friday. Schultz had been dealing with a shoulder injury and an illness that caused him to miss practice on Wednesday and Thursday. He has recorded 45 catches for 438 yards and one touchdown this season. The Texans have ruled out cornerback Damon Arnette (ankle), tight end Harrison Bryant (neck/shoulder), kicker Ka'imi Fairbairn (right quad), safety Jalen Pitre (concussion), and quarterback C.J. Stroud (concussion). Offensive guard Ed Ingram (knee), fullback Jakob Johnson (hamstring), and tight end Cade Stover (foot) are questionable. Schultz previously re-signed with the Texans on a three-year, $36 million contract in March. His statistical output has been similar to his previous campaigns, averaging 66 catches for 667 yards and 5.7 touchdowns from 2020 to 2022. He was the second-highest targeted player on the team, but C.J. Stroud's preference for downfield passes elevated the wide receivers more.

Falcons Place DL Sam Roberts on IR; Sign DL Kentavius Street from Practice Squad

AutoDraft Pro AI

The Atlanta Falcons have placed defensive lineman Sam Roberts on injured reserve due to an ankle injury sustained in Week 10. Roberts appeared in five games for the Falcons this season, recording 18 tackles and a sack. The team also signed defensive lineman Kentavius Street to the active roster from the practice squad. Street, who has been with the Falcons since the start of the season, has not played in 2025 but appeared in 18 games between 2023-24, totaling 29 tackles, two sacks, a pass breakup, and a fumble recovery. Other Falcons players listed as questionable include Drake London (illness, back), Jamal Agnew (foot), Mike Hughes (neck), Brandon Dorlus (oblique), and Chris Lindstrom (foot).

Keaton Mitchell Could See Expanded Role with Justice Hill Sidelined

AutoDraft Pro AI

Baltimore Ravens running back Keaton Mitchell is a candidate to pick up some of the workload left by Justice Hill, who has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Browns due to a toe injury. Hill's absence is particularly notable as he leads Ravens running backs in route rate (41%) and target share (11.4%), indicating his importance in the passing game. Mitchell could step into some of these vacated opportunities, potentially alongside Derrick Henry, who is also expected to see more passing-game work.

Derrick Henry Poised for Increased Passing Game Work in Week 11

AutoDraft Pro AI

Baltimore Ravens running back Derrick Henry is expected to see more involvement in the passing game during Sunday's matchup against the Browns. This increased role comes as a direct result of Justice Hill being ruled out for the game due to a toe injury. Hill has been a significant contributor in the Ravens' aerial attack, leading their running backs in both route rate and target share this season. His absence presents an opportunity for Henry to pick up additional targets and routes, leading to a slight upgrade in his Week 11 fantasy outlook.

Justice Hill Out for Week 11 with Toe Injury, Affecting Ravens' Backfield

AutoDraft Pro AI

Baltimore Ravens running back Justice Hill (toe) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Browns. Hill has been a key component of the Ravens' passing game, leading their running backs with a 41% route rate and an 11.4% target share this season. His absence is expected to create more opportunities for fellow running back Derrick Henry in the passing game, and Keaton Mitchell could also see an increased workload. This development is considered a slight upgrade to Henry's Week 11 fantasy outlook.

Lamar Jackson Cleared for Week 11 After Knee Soreness, Full Practices

AutoDraft Pro AI

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (knee) is not listed on the final Week 11 injury report and is confirmed to be a "full go" for Sunday's game against the Browns. Jackson was held out of Wednesday's practice due to knee soreness, as stated by Head Coach John Harbaugh, but he returned to participate in full practices on both Thursday and Friday. The team does not anticipate his knee being a factor in the upcoming game. Jackson has completed 70.1 percent of his passes for 1,249 yards with 15 touchdowns and one interception in six games, adding 216 rushing yards and one score.

Sam LaPorta Out Against Eagles with Back Injury; Lions TE Brock Wright to Step In

AutoDraft Pro AI

Detroit Lions tight end Sam LaPorta has been ruled out of Sunday's game against the Philadelphia Eagles due to a back injury, after missing practice all week. LaPorta, a 2023 Pro Bowler, has 40 receptions for 489 yards and three touchdowns this season. Coach Dan Campbell expressed high confidence in tight end Brock Wright to fill LaPorta's role, describing Wright as a "jack of all trades" who is dependable in pass protection, run blocking, route running, and special teams. The Lions also ruled out safety Kerby Joseph (knee) and cornerback Terrion Arnold (concussion). Edge rusher Josh Paschal (back) is also out. Several other Lions players are questionable, including Marcus Davenport (shoulder), Taylor Decker (shoulder/rest), Miles Frazier (knee), D.J. Reed (hamstring), Amik Robertson (hamstring), Malcolm Rodriguez (knee), Jacob Saylors (back), Penei Sewell (ankle), Sione Vaki (ankle), and Brock Wright (ankle). Aidan Hutchinson (elbow) and Graham Glasgow (back) are cleared to play.

DeAndre Hopkins' Snaps Could Increase with Bateman's Absence

AutoDraft Pro AI

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins could potentially see an increase in snaps during Sunday's game against the Browns. This opportunity arises due to the absence of fellow wide receiver Rashod Bateman, who has been ruled out with a high-ankle sprain and is expected to miss multiple games. While Bateman's injury creates a void in the Ravens' receiving corps, Hopkins' potential for increased playing time is tempered by the assessment that he would be considered a total flier for Week 11 fantasy lineups.

Rashod Bateman Out for Week 11 with High-Ankle Sprain, Expected to Miss Multiple Games

AutoDraft Pro AI

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Rashod Bateman (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Browns and is expected to miss multiple games due to a high-ankle sprain. While Bateman remained healthy for most of the 2023 season, he averaged only 2.0 catches and 22.9 yards per game. The Ravens, who signed him to a two-year extension, anticipate more from the 2021 first-round pick following Lisfranc surgery rehab, but target volume remains a concern with Zay Flowers and Mark Andrews prioritized. Bateman has a history of injuries, including abdominal surgery in his rookie year and a Lisfranc injury in 2022. His absence could lead to more snaps for DeAndre Hopkins, though Hopkins is considered a total fantasy flier.

Lane Johnson Cleared to Play Sunday, Eagles Offensive Line Intact

AutoDraft Pro AI

Philadelphia Eagles right tackle Lane Johnson (ankle) does not have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Lions, confirming his availability. Johnson had sustained an ankle injury in Monday night's win over the Packers. His clearance means the Eagles are set to have their entire offensive line available for the upcoming matchup, with other key starters like center Cam Jurgens, left guard Landon Dickerson, and right guard Tyler Steen also cleared to play. Edge rusher Nolan Smith and cornerback Jakorian Bennett are also set to play.

Xavier Worthy Cleared for Week 11; Chiefs WR Ready to Face Broncos' Top Defense

AutoDraft Pro AI

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Xavier Worthy has been removed from the injury report and is cleared to play in Week 11 against the Denver Broncos. Worthy was limited in practice on Thursday due to an ankle injury but returned to full participation on Friday. His ankle is not expected to be an issue for the game against Denver's top-ranked wide receiver defense. Worthy signed a four-year, $17.58 million contract with the Packers in May of 2025, which appears to be a data error as he is listed with the Chiefs. He was added to the injury report on Thursday.

Christian Watson Cleared to Play; Packers WR Ready for Giants Game

AutoDraft Pro AI

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Christian Watson has been cleared to play in Sunday's game against the New York Giants, with no injury designation for his knee and hamstring issues. Watson, a 2022 second-round pick, has dealt with significant injury concerns throughout his career, including knee surgery before his rookie training camp and multiple hamstring issues. In his rookie year, he showed flashes of his potential, recording 317 receiving yards and seven touchdowns in a four-game stretch. However, his sophomore season was hampered by injuries, limiting him to only three games and then Weeks 14-18. Despite his talent, questions remain about his durability and competition for targets with other young receivers like Romeo Doubs, Jayden Reed, and Dontayvion Wicks. Watson's physical attributes include good size (6-4, 208) and speed (4.36 40-yard dash).

Matthew Golden Questionable for Packers vs. Giants; Shoulder Injury Lingers

AutoDraft Pro AI

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Matthew Golden is questionable for Sunday's game against the New York Giants due to a shoulder injury. He was limited in practice throughout the week. Golden, a rookie, is not expected to be a significant fantasy factor if he plays. Fellow rookie Savion Williams (foot) is also questionable. Christian Watson (knee), Romeo Doubs (chest), and Dontayvion Wicks (calf) are all cleared to play. Golden signed a four-year, $17.58 million contract with the Packers in May of 2025. His availability could impact the playing time and targets for other Packers receivers.

Jaylon Johnson Nears Return for Bears; Kyler Gordon and T.J. Edwards Also Expected Back

AutoDraft Pro AI

Chicago Bears Pro Bowl cornerback Jaylon Johnson is nearing a return from a core muscle injury that required surgery in September. The team has opened a 21-day practice window for him, and he was a limited participant on Friday, carrying a questionable designation for Sunday's game against the Minnesota Vikings. Johnson has dealt with multiple soft-tissue injuries, including an adductor tear in the offseason. Nickel corner Kyler Gordon, who has been limited by hamstring and calf injuries, is eligible to return next Sunday. Linebacker T.J. Edwards, who had surgery for a broken hand and is dealing with a hamstring injury, is also expected back soon. Coach Ben Johnson expressed optimism about reinforcements potentially returning, highlighting the impact these three players could have on the Bears' defense.
