Jordy Nelson (knee) is officially inactive for the Raiders.

Nelson didn’t practice all week, so this was fully expected. With Martavis Bryant also out with a knee injury of his own, Derek Carr and the Raiders have a decimated receiving corps today against the Cardinals. None of Oakland’s wide receivers are recommended fantasy options for Week 11, but Brandon Lafell is probably the best bet of the bunch.

Antonio Gates (knee) is active for the Chargers.

Gates was listed as questionable after just one limited practice on Friday, but he’s ready to go against the Broncos. The veteran tight end isn’t a highly-recommended option in standard-sized fantasy leagues.

Marcus Mariota leaves game after apparent right arm injury.

It’s unclear if the injury is related to his elbow issue from earlier this season, but there’s probably a decent chance that it is. Mariota is now headed to the locker room with Blaine Gabbert entering the game. Hopefully Mariota is able to return in the second half, but we’ll update you as more information becomes available.

The Chiefs promoted Gehrig Dieter to the 53-man roster.

This probably indicates Sammy Watkins isn’t going to play because of his foot injury. Dieter hasn’t appeared in an NFL game yet, but he might get his opportunity in a big game tomorrow night. The 2017 undrafted receiver isn’t a recommended fantasy option for Week 11, though.

Keke Coutee (hamstring) is officially active for Week 11.

The rookie receiver was fully expected to be ready to go after the bye week, and he is indeed back in the lineup for the Texans. With six teams on a bye, Coutee is in the FLEX mix particularly for PPR leagues, but  ideally you’ll have stronger options for your Week 11 fantasy lineup.

Chris Godwin (ankle) is officially active for Week 11.

Godwin was listed as questionable coming into the weekend, but he was fully expected to be ready to go and would’ve likely been listed as probable if the NFL still had that designation. The second-year receiver is a strong FLEX option against the Giants after his first 100-yard game of the season last week.

Joe Flacco (right hip) is officially inactive against the Bengals.

Flacco didn’t practice all week and was listed as doubtful, so this was fully expected. Reports say Lamar Jackson is likely to start for the Ravens, but Robert Griffin III is also expected to get some time. Flacco being out probably downgrades the receivers for Week 11 fantasy lineups, but RG3 in particular can be very accurate to all areas of the field. Griffin getting the opportunity to show off his deep ball a few times would be a plus for John Brown.
