Who’s In, Out and Still Questionable
This is a tough bye week for fantasy teams to maneuver, specifically at the wide receiver position. That’s the position with the bulk of the injuries on this week’s report.
Good news came in overnight for the Ravens and Chargers injury-wise as both teams are expected to get most of their stars back – welcome boosts to teams fighting for playoff position. As games kick off throughout the day, keep monitoring the status of Kyler Murray and DeAndre Hopkins for the Cardinals’ Monday night game and have a pivot in mind for each player.

NFL Week 11 Game Lines
Beware the road favorites this week. Six away teams are giving points (though one is at a neutral site), though most spreads this week are rather close. There’s only one double-digit line and the majority of games are expected to be decided by less than a touchdown.
Can Jeff Saturday lead Indianapolis to another win? Whose season essentially ends today in the Raiders-Broncos battle? Can the Vikings stay undefeated at home when the Cowboys come to town? And do the Chargers look more like a playoff team when Justin Herbert gets his receivers back against the Chiefs? We’ll get answers to all these questions and more across a loaded NFL Sunday.
There’s plenty of division games going on that will shape the playoff race and the game that I’m going to be monitoring closely today is Jets-Patriots. New England has owned New York for years—I think that streak continues, which is why I picked the Pats to cover as my Perfect 10 pick. See who all of my colleagues are on this week and if you want to participate, just go to SI Sportsbook and pick 10 games against the spread for a shot at a $10,000 prize!
