Andersen was limited in practice this week but has a chance to suit up for the first time since Week 4. His return would be a welcomed one for a Falcons defense that ranks 19th in points and yards allowed per game, and has struggled recently against the running game. In addition to Andersen, the Falcons also listed C Drew Dalman (ankle) and LG Chris Lindstrom(knee) as questionable.

Mack played through the groin issue last week but was barely on the field, logging four snaps on defense with no other stats to his name. He was listed as questionable for the contest after being held out of all three practice sessions. Mack will need to get in at least a limited session before we can count on him a anything other than an emergency option. The stud EDGE has 4.5 sacks and five TFLs this year.

This isn’t much of a surprise as Edwards is coming off his first game in over a month because of the ankle issue. He was activated from injured reserve over the weekend and ran 10 times for 55 yards. His practice reps will be limited this week as he and the Chargers prepare to take on the Bengals. Edwards will flirt with an RB3 ranking versus a soft Cincinnati run defense.

Jones left Week 10 with the rib issue and was listed as questionable to return. He eventually did so and head coach Kevin O’Connell told reporters on Monday that he expects Jones to play this week. A limited practice on Wednesday keeps him on track to suit up. Jones has taken over the backfield in recent weeks with at least 17 carries in each of his past three games. Even if the Vikings give a few of his attempts to Cam Akers because of the rib issue, Jones has secured his spot in the RB2 ranks for Week 11.

Darnold’s play has been spiraling over the past month and the last thing he needs is an injury to his throwing hand. Though there’s been no indication that this is a serious issue, it’s now on the growing list of concerns surrounding Darnold’s performance. Facing a tough Titans defense this week, Darnold will fall into the QB2 ranks for Week 11.

The Dolphins signed LB Tyrel Dodson earlier this week, likely expecting to release Long afterward. Long remains a capable run defender but can be successfully picked on in coverage.

Jacobs was playing through an ankle issue before the bye. There’s no reason to believe his latest injury will force him to miss any playing time. Barring a setback, Jacobs will sit on the RB1/2 border for his upcoming game against a struggling Bears squad.

The Packers’ Week 10 bye week served Love well. With him now practicing in full, fantasy managers can start as a weekly QB1 moving forward, even against the Bears’ stout pass defense.

Hill is the type of veteran player who does not need to practice in order to play, as shown last week. Fantasy managers should expect Hill to suit up in Week 11, though his productivity is clearly compromised. Hill is a WR2/3 with WR1 upside until the torn wrist ligament is behind him.

Reynolds was placed on injured reserve after undergoing minor surgery on his finger five weeks ago. He was also the victim of a shooting shortly after being placed on injured reserve. Thankfully, the incident only left him with minor injuries. His return will make a jumbled Denver receiver room even more messy aside from Courtland Sutton.

Hamilton suffered the ankle injury in Baltimore’s Week 10 win over the Bengals on Thursday and was eventually ruled out. Ravens coach John Harbaugh told reporters last week that Hamilton’s injury isn’t serious, by which he meant a long-term issue. In the short term, Hamilton looks likely to miss Week 11, weakening an already paper-thin Baltimore pass-defense.
