NFL Fantasy Football: Week 11 injury report
By Dan Thomas
We are supplying information on the latest and most important injuries across the NFL and letting you know how it could affect your fantasy football team.
Quarterbacks
(N/A)
Running Backs
Lions RB Theo Riddick is listed as questionable.
The Spin: The coaching staff is simply managing his reps. He’ll play on Sunday with no limitations.
Rams RB Todd Gurley is listed as questionable.
The Spin: Gurley is dealing with a thigh injury but there’s no reason to believe he’ll miss Sunday’s game against the Dolphins.
Wide Receivers
Bills WR Robert Woods is listed as questionable.
The Spin: He’s been dealing with a foot injury for a little bit now. However, he used the Bills bye week last week to get rested. He’s playing on Sunday.
Cowboys WR Dez Bryant is listed as questionable.
The Spin: There’s no real concern here. If for some reason this injury is more serious than they are leading on, the Cowboys play at 1:00 p.m. EST. Owners would have plenty of time to make adjustments.
Chiefs WR Jeremy Maclin is listed as out.
The Spin: Maclin has surprisingly been way off the fantasy radar this year and now he’ll miss his second straight game.
Dolphins WR Jarvis Landry is listed as questionable.
The Spin: He’s playing but keep in mind he isn’t the PPR machine he was from a season ago.
Patriots WR Julian Edelman is listed as questionable.
The Spin: Edelman is basically on the Patriots injury report every week but he’s playing.
Eagles WR Jordan Matthews is listed as questionable.
The Spin: The Eagles No.1 wide receiver is playing but is in a tough matchup against Seattle on the road.
Redskins WR DeSean Jackson is listed as questionable.
The Spin: D-Jax is a truly questionable and will come down to a game-time decision. If you are thinking about using him, keep in mind the Redskins don’t play until 8:30 p.m. EST.
Tight Ends
Patriots TE Rob Gronkowski is listed as out.
The Spin: Unless you were living under a rock this shouldn’t be breaking news. If you have Gronk, you obviously need a replacement.
Patriots TE Martellus Bennett is listed as questionable.
The Spin: Not only will Bennett be playing but he’s in a great situation with Gronkowski out for Sunday’s game.
Eagles TE Zach Ertz is listed as questionable.
The Spin: Ertz appeared to suffer a hamstring injury during practice but he should be good to go for Sunday.
DFS Nuggets
Steelers WRs Markus Wheaton and Darrius Heyward-Bey are both listed as out. Eli Rogers has been solid over the last two games and should see a good amount of targets with these two out. He’s a cheap play if you are looking to spend up elsewhere.
When Jeremy Maclin missed last week’s game, Tyreek Hill finished with 10 receptions for 89 yards. With Maclin already ruled out for Sunday’s game, Hill should be heavily involved in the offense once again. Just like Eli Rogers, he’s also a cheap play.
Ravens No.1 cornerback Jimmy Smith is doubtful to play against the Cowboys. This is a huge boost for Dez Bryant because Smith usually shadows opposing team’s No.1 WR.

Chiefs No.1 cornerback Marcus Peters is questionable to play. If he can’t go, Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans gets a big boost.
The Dolphins look like they’ll be without both LT Branden Albert and C Mike Pouncey. This is a big downgrade to RB Jay Ajayi against the Rams tough front-seven.
