Robert Woods is inactive for Week 11.

[UPDATE: Woods is inactive because of a personal issue.] Woods is obviously a surprise inactive, so something must have happened; hopefully everything is OK with the tough receiver. With Woods out, Josh Reynolds gets a boost and is a solid option to insert into your lineup if you were planning to use Woods. More information on Woods should be available by late tonight after the game, if not before.

Jordan Howard (shoulder) is officially inactive for Week 11.

This is a huge loss for the Eagles as they take on the Patriots, and rookie running back Miles Sanders is set for a heavier workload, with Boston Scott and recent signing Jay Ajayi mixing in. Howard is still not cleared for contact after suffering a stinger in Week 9 against the Bears, but hopefully the powerful running back is good to go for next week against the Seahawks.

The Bears have placed Trey Burton (groin) on injured reserve.

Burton has seemed to be dealing the injury all year (and it impacted him in 2018, too), so Chicago is essentially shutting him down. For the season, Burton finishes with 14 receptions for 84 scoreless yards. The Bears will now go with Adam Shaheen and Ben Braunecker at tight end for the rest of the season, but neither guy will be a highly recommended fantasy option.

JuJu Smith-Schuster is dealing with a knee injury, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.

Schefter says Smith-Schuster is “uncertain” for Week 12 against the Bengals after the knee injury suffered in last Thursday’s game against the Browns. JuJu had gone to social media to say that he was OK after he left last week’s game with a concussion, and it now sounds like the knee might be the bigger issue. We’ll get word on Smith-Schuster’s status for this week starting with the first official practice of the week on Wednesday.

Damien Harris has been ruled out for Week 11.

Harris was added to the injury report yesterday, and now he’s been ruled out and apparently won’t be making the trip to Philadelphia. The rookie running back remains a dynasty-league hold that does not need to be owned in redraft leagues.

Dante Pettis (back) is officially active for Week 11.

Pettis is dealing with a back issue, but he’s still active for the 49ers versus the Cardinals. However, the second-year receiver is difficult to trust in fantasy lineups after Kyle Shanahan was critical of his play earlier this week.

The Cardinals signed Maxx Williams to a two-year contract extension.

Williams has 11 receptions for 139 yards and one touchdown this season, with a whopping eight games with exactly one reception. But Kliff Kingsbury and his staff like Williams’ ability as a blocker, and they’ve decided to award him for his play. Williams is not a recommended fantasy pickup just because of the contract extension, but he is still just 25 and has the ability to get more involved as a receiver.
