John Brown (back) is listed as questionable for Sunday.

After missing practice yesterday because of the back issue, Brown was able to practice today, which is a good sign. Consider him a game-time call, and the Cardinals thankfully play in the early games on Sunday, meaning you’ll know Brown’s status by 11:30 AM ET.

Ezekiel Elliott is officially withdrawing his appeal.

Elliott’s agents Rocky Arceneaux and Frank Salzano told NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport that Elliott will not fight the suspension in court any longer. The star running back will officially be out until Week 16, so his first game back will be on Christmas Eve against the Seahawks. It’s also worth noting that in the statement from Elliott’s agents to Rapoport (located in the link below), they said Elliott is innocent and the NFL handled the situation poorly. Elliott himself will release his own statement in the next few weeks, and that’ll be the end of this. For fantasy purposes, you need to hope for a championship appearance to get Elliott back in your lineup this season. Alfred Morris, Rod Smith, and Darren McFadden will handle the workload in Dallas’ backfield over the next five games.

Will Fuller (ribs) is officially out for Week 11.

Fuller is dealing with cracked ribs and didn’t practice all week, though he’s not expected to miss too much more time with the injury. Consider the second-year receiver questionable to face the Ravens on Monday night in Week 12.

Philip Rivers (concussion) was limited in practice today.

Rivers being able to participate in some of practice this early in the week after suffering a concussion on Sunday is a great sign for his Week 11 availability. Multiple reports say the Chargers are optimistic about Rivers’ chances of getting cleared before the weekend, and it looks to be headed in that direction. Hopefully the 35-year-old quarterback can clear the final hurdles of concussion protocol (getting cleared by an independent neurologist) and be out there with his team against the Bills.

Philip Rivers (concussion) is officially questionable for Sunday.

Rivers is still awaiting clearance from an independent neurologist, and there now isn’t a lot of time left to get cleared as we’re just over 48 hours from kickoff against the Bills. Consider him likely—but no lock—to be out there on Sunday versus Buffalo. If he is out, it’d be a blow to the skill position players of the Chargers, especially the receivers.

Zach Ertz (hamstring) practiced fully today.

After missing Week 9 and then having a bye last week, Ertz is rested and will be ready to go this Sunday night versus Dallas. As he’s been all season, Ertz will be an elite TE1 in Week 11. He comes in at number three, right behind Rob Gronkowski and Travis Kelce, in our TE rankings this week.

Leonard Fournette (ankle) is officially questionable for Sunday.

Fournette was announced as a non-participant in practice earlier today, and now he’s officially questionable for the game against the Browns. Expect him to be a true game-time decision, so there might not be any real clarity until 11:30 AM ET on Sunday.
