Austin Ekeler scores again in Week 11.

Ekeler carried six times for 40 yards and a touchdown while adding two receptions (on two targets) for 18 yards against the Bills. Ekeler’s touchdown was a 21-yarder late in the game when he got to the second level and raced to the end zone basically untouched. The undrafted rookie continues to contribute to the Chargers, but he’s not a recommended fantasy option behind Melvin Gordon.

Terrance West is not playing today.

West is apparently inactive as a healthy scratch, as Danny Woodhead is also healthy now and Baltimore’s backfield has become crowded with Alex Collins and Javorius Allen already in the mix. Alex Collins establishing himself as a very good runner while West has been out with his groin injury, and West might not be active for the rest of the season.

Carson Wentz heads to the medical tent against the Cowboys.

Wentz took a big knee to the head on a third down late in the first quarter, and he’s likely being forced to get evaluated for a concussion. Hopefully Wentz is OK, but the NFL has become extremely cautious about head injuries, and they received some outrage over the last couple of weeks after quarterbacks Russell Wilson and Jacoby Brissett entered the game after taking big hits.

Andre Ellington is inactive for Week 11.

It appears Ellington is a healthy scratch against the Texans, as running back D.J. Foster is active for the game. Adrian Peterson will handle almost all the carries in Arizona’s backfield, but Foster is someone to watch as a potential PPR option down the stretch. He’s a good receiver out of the backfield, and the Cardinals must like what they’re seeing in practice.

John Brown (back) is active for Week 11.

Brown was added to the injury report during the week, but he’s good to go against the Texans. He’s risky without Carson Palmer healthy, but perhaps Blaine Gabbert will provide a boost. It’s worth noting that Houston hasn’t defended deep threats well at all this season, so Brown is a high-upside FLEX option in standard leagues.

Sterling Shepard (migraine) is inactive for Week 11.

Shepard was added to the injury report on Friday with an illness, and it turns out migraines are impacting him. New York is now alarmingly thin at wide receiver, so Evan Engram should get a lot of targets in a game they are expected to be trailing. Tavarres King and Roger Lewis both should stay out of lineups, and the Chiefs D/ST is an elite option this week. We’ll see if the migraines linger for Shepard, but hopefully he’s good to go in Week 12.

Terrelle Pryor pops up on the injury report.

Pryor didn’t practice today because of an ankle injury, so now there’s a chance he doesn’t play on Sunday versus New Orleans. Tomorrow will tell more about Pryor’s status for the game, but he hasn’t been a fantasy option all season even if he does play.
