Alshon Jeffery is officially active tonight against the Cowboys.

Jeffery said he expected to play while the team was optimistic, and now he’s officially in the lineup. Though he started to get hot entering the Eagles’ Week 10 bye, consider Jeffery a FLEX option for tonight.

Keelan Cole catches three passes in Week 11.

Cole gained 24 yards on his three receptions (six targets) against the Browns. The undrafted receiver will continue to have a role, but rookie Dede Westbrook will be the preferred play if you’re looking for a big game from someone other than Marqise Lee (or Allen Hurns when he’s healthy) from a Jaguars receiver.

The Bills benched quarterback Nathan Peterman.

Unfortunately, Peterman’s first career start went about as bad as possible, as he was 6/14 for 66 yards and five interceptions. While the Chargers are getting a ton of pressure on the rookie quarterback, he still made some bad decisions and inaccurate throws. It might’ve been a little overdue down by 30 to open the second half, but former starter Tyrod Taylor is back out there.

Jordan Taylor catches 14-yard pass in loss to the Bengals.

It was his only reception of the game on a comeback route in the second half. He’s not a fantasy option.

D’Onta Foreman is believed to have a torn Achilles, according to Ian Rapoport.

Foreman scored twice against the Cardinals, including the score that basically clinched the game—which is when Foreman got hurt, according to Rapoport. This would obviously be the end of the season for Foreman, and it would put him in some jeopardy for the start of 2018. Foreman had ten carries for 65 yards and two touchdowns along with three receptions for 15 yards in today’s win, so it was probably the best game of his rookie season. We should get confirmation in the coming days if Foreman is indeed out for the season with a torn Achilles.

Marcedes Lewis scores against the Browns.

Cleveland has not been good against opposing tight ends this season, so those that took a chance and inserted Lewis into their lineups had it pay off with a score. Overall, Lewis caught both targets for 26 yards and a touchdown in the win. The Cardinals next week are another good matchup (though not as good as the Browns), but it’s a risk playing Lewis—you’ll probably need to hope for another touchdown.

Chris Thompson has a fractured fibula.

The injury is already known, and Redskins head coach Jay Gruden says that Thompson will need surgery. This confirms Thompson’s season is over, which is a huge blow to the Redskins. Fantasy owners, especially those in PPR leagues, will need to be without one of their best players for the rest of the season. Assuming there’s no other damage to his leg, Thompson should be 100% for offseason training, and he has a positive outlook as someone that will certainly have a third-down role with the team in 2018.
