Torrey Smith (knee) has been ruled out for Week 11.

This was the expectation heading into the week, and Carolina will once again roll with D.J. Moore, Curtis Samuel, and Jarius Wright behind Devin Funchess. Detroit was just dominated by Allen Robinson and Anthony Miller, so Moore and Samuel in particular are worth considering as big-play FLEX options.

Michael Roberts (shoulder) has been ruled out for Sunday’s game against the Panthers.

Roberts wasn’t able to practice this week, and it’s a disappointment considering the matchup against Carolina’s 32nd-ranked defense against opposing tight ends. Luke Willson will have a chance to make an impact with Marvin Jones (knee) ruled out and Golden Tate in Philadelphia, but he’s just a streaming option in deeper leagues with 75 scoreless yards this season.

Marvin Jones (knee) has been ruled out for Week 11.

Jones was injured in last week’s loss to the Bears, so Kenny Golladay is basically the last-man-standing for Detroit at receiver. T.J. Jones and Brandon Powell will likely start alongside Golladay against Carolina, but the Lions will probably run the offense through Kerryon Johnson and feed targets to “Babytron”. Hopefully Jones can get back for Thanksgiving, but his chances aren’t looking great after not even getting in a limited practice this week.

Jordy Nelson (knee) is officially questionable for Week 11.

Nelson would seem like a long shot to suit up after not practicing this week, but Oakland needs all the help they can get at receiver, so we’ll see. The Raiders kickoff for a late afternoon game, so fantasy owners are better off looking elsewhere, especially considering Jordy’s recent struggles.

Joe Flacco (hip) is doubtful for Sunday’s game against the Bengals.

Flacco hasn’t practiced all week, but head coach John Harbaugh said that wouldn’t preclude him from playing in Week 11. However, it doesn’t look like the 33-year-old will be able to go, so Lamar Jackson or Robert Griffin III will end up getting the start in a good spot with Cincinnati coming to town. Jackson obviously carries immense upside, but it wouldn’t be surprising to see Baltimore go with a two-quarterback system this week, which would limit the fantasy outlook for both guys.

The Bengals have placed Tyler Kroft (foot) on injured reserve.

Kroft has been out for multiple weeks as he hoped his foot injury would heal without surgery, but that didn’t happen, and his season is now ending. The Rutgers product finishes the year with just four receptions and 36 yards in five games. Kroft is an unrestricted free agent in 2019.

Samaje Perine (calf) has been ruled out for Week 11.

Perine has seen limited action behind Adrian Peterson, so he’s just a handcuff that doesn’t need to be owned, especially after all the injuries that hit Washington’s offensive line. The second-year back will look to get cleared for a Thanksgiving matchup against the Cowboys.
