George Kittle

SF Tight End #85

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

49ers coach Kyle Shanahan said George Kittle left Sunday’s game with “hamstring irritation” that will be “monitored throughout the week.”

This could just be a low-key thing, we certainly haven’t seen any of the 49ers beats make a big deal about it. But it’s something to monitor on the Wednesday practice circuit. Kittle hasn’t missed a game since Week 3 and already has seven touchdowns this season, more than he had in 16 healthy 2023 games.
DeVonta Smith

PHI Wide Receiver #6

DeVonta Smith (hamstring was limited in Tuesday’s practice.

It was estimated, as usual on Mondays and Tuesdays. It’s likely that Smith’s DNP on Monday was just a rest day for a hamstring that kept him on the injury report for most of last week before he had a forgettable 2/14 outing against the Cowboys in a game Philadelphia barely had to pass in. It seems much more likely he’ll be involved against the Commanders on Thursday night.
Brian Robinson Jr.

WAS Running Back #8

Brian Robinson (hamstring) was limited in practice on Tuesday.

It’s another estimation. Commanders coach Dan Quinn said he would “have a better idea tomorrow” if Robinson would play or not on Thursday night. We’re tentatively bracing for it to be another game-time decision. This is the eighth-straight limited practice for Robinson, who has not played either of the last two weeks despite participating in practice.
Michael Mayer

LV Tight End #87

CBS’ Jonathan Jones reports Michael Mayer (personal) returned to Raiders practice on Tuesday.

Mayer has not played since September. It’s possible he’ll be a bigger factor down the stretch with Davante Adams gone and the Raiders lacking for receiver help, but any Raiders passing game options outside of Brock Bowers and Jakobi Meyers are going to struggle for volume and reliability. Especially if this is about to become Desmond Ridder’s show.
Nico Collins

HOU Wide Receiver #12

Texans coach DeMeco Ryans said Nico Collins (hamstring) did not have a setback and will practice this week.

Ryans was asked if not playing off the questionable tag meant that Collins had a setback in his injury recovery, and noted that it was simply a game-time decision. We’d be surprised if Collins wasn’t active this week, but wouldn’t be surprised to see him managed through practices as he eases into the grind after his hamstring injury. Aaron Wilson of NBC Houston claims Collins is “100 percent ready to go.”
Daniel Jones

NYG Quarterback #8

ESPN’s Adam Schefter said he “would guess” Daniel Jones “will never play another down” for the Giants.

He pointed at the tonal shift that Brian Daboll had in yesterday’s press conference, and speculated that Daniel Jones’ $23 million injury guarantee could force the Giants to bench Jones. “Just as we saw ... Russell Wilson and Jimmy Garoppolo be benched last year, and Derek Carr the year before ... to not risk those players getting hurt, I think we’re looking at the same thing with Daniel Jones right now.” Giants GM Joe Schoen held a presser today in which he said a decision on Jones would be “based on football only,” but it’s hard to take that at face value. Drew Lock would be the starting quarterback for the Giants if Jones were to be put on ice, and we might see even uglier football ahead for the Giants after their bye if that’s the case.
Desmond Ridder

LV Quarterback #10

The Athletic’s Vic Tatur writes the Raiders are “expected to make the change” to Desmond Ridder at quarterback.

Ridder’s inconsistent play makes him a bad real life quarterback, but he might have enough rushing upside to be a viable low-end superflex play, particularly if asked to pass a lot as the Raiders often have while trailing. Don’t blow the FAAB budget or anything, but Ridder is worth rostering in superflex leagues.
Tyreek Hill

MIA Wide Receiver #10

ESPN’s Lisa Salters reports Tyreek Hill (wrist) is playing through a torn wrist ligament.

Hill detailed to Salter that the wrist had been bothering him since preseason, but it became aggravated when he was detained by police before Week 1 and an MRI revealed that he’d torn a ligament in it. When asked about the wrist injury by a Miami-area sportscaster, Hill’s agent Drew Rosenhaus said that surgery to repair the wrist was “not something I am prepared to discuss publicly” and added “that’s something that, really, will be internal between myself, Tyreek, his family, and the team.” What to take away from that for fantasy football? Hill rosterers need to hope the Dolphins keep winning, because there’s absolutely a chance that the Dolphins shut him down for the season if they are out of the playoff picture. For now, it appears likely he’ll keep playing through it.
Isiah Pacheco

KC Running Back #10

Fox Sports’ Jordan Schultz reports Isiah Pacheco (leg) will be designated for return from injured reserve this week.

That doesn’t mean Pacheco will suit up for Week 11 against the Bills. He’ll be eligible to practice for up to three weeks, and could return to the playing field any time between Week 11 and Week 13. Kareem Hunt should get at least one more week as the Chiefs’ lead back. When Pacheco returns, look for Hunt to function, at best, as the 1B option behind Pacheco. Hunt’s reliability on short yardage carries could threaten Pacheco’s high value opportunities near the goal line.
Dak Prescott

DAL Quarterback #4

Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said Dak Prescott (hamstring) will undergo surgery and is out for the remainder of the season.

Prescott’s recovery time is expected to be about three months after his procedure to repair a partial avulsion of the hamstring tendon. Prescott and the team sought several medical opinions over the past week but were left with no choice but to go the surgical route. The Cowboys’ season is over, and with it, the Mike McCarthy era has likely reached its end. Some combination of Trey Lance and Cooper Rush will fill in for Prescott as Dallas plays out the stretch. Lance could have some deep league appeal due to his rushing. CeeDee Lamb, who caught six of 10 targets for 21 yards in Week 10 against the Eagles, becomes a borderline WR2 option with Prescott out.
