Jackson (6'2/265) caps off an amazing season with AP All-American First Team accolades in addition to All-American recognition from ESPN and The Athletic. The redshirt senior was named as a Nagurski Trophy Finalist and a Bednarik Award Semifinalist in addition to a host of other superlatives. He was the cornerstone of an excellent CCU defense, leading the team in tackles for loss with 13.5 and sacks with 8.5 to go with three forced fumbles. He is considered a mid-round prospect for NFL Draft purposes and could greatly improve his stock with a solid set of Senior Bowl practices.

The cart came out for Wyatt in the third quarter after an ankle injury that did not look good. The Titans will likely turn to Jerome Baker at one of their inside linebacker spots as the Titans defense gets a little bit thinner.

The Chiefs have JuJu Smith-Schuster back for Sunday’s game, but his fantasy upside could be limited with DeAndre Hopkins fully in the mix. The Chiefs will look to build on their undefeated season against rival Buffalo in what is arguably the most anticipated game of the week.

Cooper will play through the wrist injury that has left him sidelined the last two weeks. The veteran receiver is expected to wear some sort of cast in Sunday’s game, but said earlier in the week that he’s gotten used to playing with it. Cooper profiles as a WR3 against a stout Chiefs defense. While he is active, the Bills did declare WR Keon Coleman, CB Kaiir Elam, LB Eddie Ulofoshio, OL Will Clapp, OT Spencer Brown, and TE Dalton Kincaid inactive fo Week 11.

Kittle did not participate in pre-game warmups, leading us to conclude he was not close to playing this week. Backup TE Eric Saubert is reportedly ill and should not be considered as a streaming option, though he is active today. LT Trent Williams (ankle) went through an extensive pre-game workout and was seen somewhat favoring one leg but the training staff ultimately determined Williams is healthy enough to play. DE Nick Bosa (hip) is active. The 49ers also declared CB Charvarius Ward, DT Kevin Givens, WR Ronnie Bell, OL Ben Bartch and DT Khalil Davis.

Fant’s absence gives AJ Barner the start, however, No. 4 wide receiver Jake Bobo will likely earn targets more efficiently than Barner. Joining Fant on the inactives list are TE Brady Russell, OLB Trevis Gipson, G Sataoa Laumea, CB Nehemiah Pritchett, WR Dareke Young and DE Myles Adams.

Packers coach Matt LaFleur told Erin Andrews that he does not think Alexander is going to play in the second half. Alexander was active off the questionable line but left early in the first half. This looks like it’s going to continue to plague Alexander throughout the second half of the season.

Jake Curhan replaced Bates at guard. If Bates misses additional time, Curhan would be in line to play more. The Bears have hit a big rash of offensive line injuries of late.

Toney, who signed with the Browns in September, will be active for the first time in 2024 against New Orleans. He could see some usage on special teams as a returner along with a limited number of pass routes in the pass-first Browns offense. He should remain on waiver wires for now.

Jenkins and Amegadjie were ruled out on Friday. Montez Sweat (ankle) and Tarvarius Moore (concussion) are playing off questionable tags. Speed and Robinson are healthy scratches.

Evan Williams (hamstring) is also active, leaving the Packers secondary as healthy as it can be for a mouth-watering showdown against a struggling Bears offense that just fired its offensive coordinator. Inactive for the Packers are: CB Robert Rochell, S Kitan Oladapo, T Travis Glover, and DL Colby Wooden. Wooden (shoulder) is the only one of those that isn’t a healthy scratch.
