Irv Smith Jr. (groin) is officially questionable for Week 11.

Smith was able to practice on a limited basis this week and has a shot for Sunday against the Cowboys. However, it might be difficult to trust him in fantasy lineups if he does suit up this weekend.

Davante Adams is expected to play in Week 11.

While Adams missed yesterday’s practice, it would be a surprise if he’s not out there against the Colts on Sunday. You should be able to lock Adams in as a safe high-end WR1 for Week 11.

D’Andre Swift (concussion) is out for Week 11.

This was expected after Swift popped up on the injury report with a concussion yesterday. There simply isn’t really time for Swift to get cleared ahead of Sunday versus the Panthers, and the Lions have decided to just rule him out today. Adrian Peterson is set to again start for the Lions, with Kerryon Johnson likely getting more work than he’s been seeing this season.

Joe Mixon (foot) will not play in Week 11.

Mixon has yet to return to practice, so it’s not a surprise that the Bengals have opted to rule him out ahead of the weekend. Mixon has been out since Week 6 due to his foot issue, which has been called day-to-day for a while now. This is Mixon’s fourth consecutive missed game.

Teddy Bridgewater (knee) is officially listed as questionable for Week 11.

The expectation was that Bridgewater would not start this Sunday against the Lions, but he’s now making a push to play after doing more in practice today. This will likely come down to Sunday, and it might be tough to trust him or any of Carolina’s quarterbacks in fantasy lineups this week given the uncertainty of the situation.

The Giants are placing Kaden Smith on the reserve/COVID-19 list.

New York is on its bye week, but Smith’s status for Week 12 is now in doubt. Wide receiver Dante Pettis was also placed on the COVID-19 list. Hopefully they are both able to get cleared and return to the field soon.

Taysom Hill has been given starter reps in practice, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.

[UPDATE: Hill will be starting at quarterback for New Orleans, according tom multiple reports.] Rapoport says “signs are pointing towards” the multi-purpose weapon getting the start over Jameis Winston this week, which obviously changes a lot for the New Orleans offense. If Hill does indeed start, he would be a no-doubt QB1 play because of the rushing upside, and this could be an audition for the starting job in 2021 (assuming Drew Brees retires). Hopefully we get a definite answer by Sunday morning.
