  • Chiefs' Xavier Worthy: Likely to play Sunday

    Coach Andy Reid said Worthy tweaked his ankle at Thursday's practice, but the second-year wide receiver "did everything" at Friday's session and is "good to go" for Sunday's game at Denver, Pete Sweeney of ArrowheadPride.com reports.

    That would seem to imply that Worthy was a full practice participant to wrap up Week 11 prep after being added to the Chiefs' injury report Thursday as limited due to an ankle injury. Friday's report will reveal whether or not Worthy enters the weekend with a designation for Sunday's contest.

  • Bryce Oliver WR | TEN

    Titans' Bryce Oliver: Out for Week 11

    Oliver (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Texans, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

    Despite logging two consecutive limited practice sessions to begin the week, Oliver will miss his eighth consecutive game as he continues to recover from a knee injury. Julius Chestnut and Chimere Dike are expected to continue operating as Tennessee's top kick returners until Oliver returns to in-game action.

  • Davante Adams WR | LAR

    Rams' Davante Adams: Listed as questionable, should play

    Adams (oblique) will be listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Seattle, with Rams coach Sean McVay saying Friday that he expects the wideout to play, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.

    It's the type of matchup where Adams might give it a go in a borderline situation, but this sounds more like a case where he's ready to play and will only sit out if there's a late setback. He made an early exit from last Sunday's 42-26 win over San Francisco, with McVay saying afterward that Adam likely would've returned if the score had been closer. Adams then missed practice Wednesday before returning as a limited participant Thursday.

  • Arian Smith WR | NYJ

    Jets' Arian Smith: Blanked as snap share dips Week 11

    Smith wasn't targeted in Thursday's 27-14 loss to the Patriots.

    After leading all Jets wide receivers with a 67 percent snap share in Week 10, Smith was on the field for just nine snaps (16 percent) in Thursday's loss. Adonai Mitchell made his Jets debut and took over Smith's role as a field stretcher. Justin Fields hasn't shown much ability to complete passes more than a few yards downfield, so the Jets will likely continue to get minimal production through the air in the absence of Garrett Wilson (knee).

  • Tyler Johnson WR | NYJ

    Jets' Tyler Johnson: No targets in Week 11

    Johnson wasn't targeted in Thursday's 27-14 loss to the Patriots.

    Johnson reached 60 receiving yards in both of the previous games the Jets played without Garrett Wilson (knee), but those came before the team added John Metchie and Adonai Mitchell via trade. Mitchell and Metchie combined for four of the five catches by Jets wide receivers in Thursday's loss. Johnson was on the field for 53 percent of snaps on offense, but given Justin Fields' inability to consistently complete passes to wide receivers coupled with the increased competition for targets at the position, Johnson's fantasy appeal is limited heading into a Week 12 trip to Baltimore.

  • Drake London WR | ATL

    Falcons' Drake London: Questionable for Sunday

    London (illness/back) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Carolina, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

    It was reportedly an illness that prevented London from practicing Wednesday, but he returned Thursday as a limited participant, seemingly putting him on track to play this Sunday. The back injury and questionable designation mean it's not quite a sure thing, but the Falcons at least have an early kickoff at 1:00 p.m. ET, making things easier on fantasy managers if London takes a turn for the worse.

  • Jets' Isaiah Williams: Significant snap share in Week 11

    Williams caught one of four targets for two yards, rushed once for four yards and threw an incomplete pass in Thursday's 27-14 loss to the Patriots. He also returned three punts for 18 yards and added a 24-yard kickoff return.

    Williams was on the field for 74 percent of snaps on offense, which ranked second on the team behind John Metchie. That usage was encouraging, though Williams' ceiling as a receiver remains capped in a Justin Fields-led passing game that usually doesn't sniff 200 yards through the air. Williams threw a pass to Fields on a first-quarter trick play, but it bounced off the quarterback's hand incomplete. Up next for the Jets will be a Week 12 trip to Baltimore.

  • Garrett Wilson WR | NYJ

    Jets' Garrett Wilson: Coach optimistic about 2025 return

    Head coach Aaron Glenn said Friday that he thinks Wilson (knee) will play again in 2025, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

    Wilson was placed on IR prior to Thursday's loss to the Patriots. He will sit out a minimum of three more games, so the earliest Wilson could return would be Week 15 against the Jaguars. It's encouraging for Wilson's fantasy managers that the Jets haven't committed to shutting their top receiver down for the season, even though the Jets are out of the playoff hunt at 2-8.

  • Ladd McConkey WR | LAC

    Chargers' Ladd McConkey: Cleared to face Jaguars

    McConkey (ankle) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Jaguars.

    McConkey upgraded to full practice participation Friday after limited sessions Wednesday and Thursday. Having reestablished himself as Justin Herbert's top target in recent weeks, McConkey has scored in four of his last six games heading into Sunday's matchup against a vulnerable Jacksonville secondary that has allowed 11 touchdowns through the air in its last three games.

  • Chargers' Quentin Johnston: Questionable after full practice

    Johnston (shin) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Jaguars after practicing fully Friday, Eric Smith of the Chargers' official site reports.

    Johnston was limited Wednesday and Thursday, but his return to a full session Friday bodes well for his chances of facing Jacksonville. That said, the WR's official questionable designation makes his status worth confirming ahead of the Chargers' 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff Sunday. In his team's Week 10 win over the Steelers, Johnston recorded an 82 percent snap share en route to catching five of his team-high 10 targets for 42 yards.
