Devonta Freeman (concussion) is not practicing today.

Freeman remains unlikely to play on Monday night against the Seahawks, which is fine considering this is his second concussion this season. The most important thing is Freeman’s long-term health, so hopefully he gets to the point where he’s 100% and can clear concussion protocol, which would then allow him back on the field. It’s possible Freeman is ruled out tomorrow ahead of Monday’s game.

Russell Shepard catches three passes versus Miami.

Shepard didn’t have a great start to the game, as he dropped a pass in the flat on a would-be first down on a third-down attempt. He did bounce back on the next series, though, making a nice catch for a first down. Overall, Shepard caught three of seven targets for 40 yards in the Monday night victory. With Curtis Samuel (ankle) potentially out beyond the team’s Week 11 bye, Shepard might need to step up as the number two behind Devin Funchess, and he’d be a FLEX option in deeper leagues.

Danny Woodhead might not play this weekend.

Woodhead is eligible to play this week for the first time since Week 1, and he’s been practicing with the team, but Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said a decision won’t be made until the weekend. We would think Woodhead will play against the Packers, but it apparently is not a lock. Check back in on Sunday when the actives and inactives are released at 11:30 AM ET to see if Woodhead is playing and ready to be inserted into fantasy lineups.

Devin Funchess scores twice in Week 10.

Funchess continues to play like a true number one receiver after the departure of Kelvin Benjamin, as he caught five of six targets for 92 yards and two touchdowns against the Dolphins. The first touchdown was a screen pass that he basically walked in on, and the second was on a 32-yard strike by Cam Newton that Funchess made a nice catch on before getting into the end zone. Funchess is averaging 89 yards per game and has two touchdowns in his two games since the Benjamin trade, and it wouldn’t be surprising if he was a top 15 option from Week 12-17 after the team returns from their bye week.

Leonard Fournette (ankle) is not practicing today.

After being limited on Wednesday and Thursday, this is a bit of a concern. Fournette has been dealing with ankle issues for a few weeks now, and it’s certainly no lock he’s out there on Sunday against the Browns. Not that it would affect whether he plays in the game, but the Louisiana boy Fournette also said he isn’t thrilled about playing in the cold weather (with potential snow) in Cleveland. We’ll see how he’s listed when the official injury report for the game is released later today, but it looks like the rookie running back will be a game-time decision this week.

Christian McCaffrey scores twice in Panthers’ Monday night win.

McCaffrey again showed that he’s already an outstanding player in the NFL, carrying five times for 23 yards and a touchdown on the ground while also catching three passes for 27 yards and a touchdown through the air. The rushing score was on an outside run where McCaffrey put a great move to cut the run back and get in the end zone. And the receiving touchdown was on a pass that was designed to go in the flat, but McCaffrey then turned it into a bit of a comeback route and made himself available for Cam Newton and stayed in bounds for the score. Get him out of your lineup for Week 11 with his team on a bye, but don’t be surprised if McCaffrey starts putting up even bigger numbers in the final six games of the season.

Ty Montgomery (ribs) is not expected to play this weekend.

Despite some optimism early in the week, Montgomery hasn’t been able to practice and is unlikely to play on Sunday against the Ravens. Expect rookie Jamaal Williams, who was one of the top waiver-wire pickup this week, to get around 20 touches, making him a good FLEX option at least. However, it’s worth noting Baltimore’s run defense has been a lot better over their last two games after getting gashed in the early-middle portion of the season. Montgomery might not be officially declared out until Sunday, but it’d be a surprise if he was active for the game.
