Kyler Murray plays well again versus the 49ers.

Murray was 24/33 for 150 yards and two touchdowns along with eight carries for 67 yards and a touchdown in the Cardinals’ close loss at San Francisco. The No. 1 overall pick in the draft did a nice job of escaping pressure and doing damage with his legs while again showing off his outstanding arm talent. The 49ers clearly didn’t want Murray to have another good game after he was excellent against them on Halloween, but the rookie quarterback made smart decisions and accurate throws throughout the game. The Cardinals now have their late Week 12 bye before facing a couple of tough defenses in the Rams and Steelers, but Murray has looked like a matchup-proof QB1 for most of this season.

Paul Richardson (hamstring) has been ruled out for Week 11.

Richardson is dealing with a hamstring injury that hasn’t gotten to where it needs to be entering the weekend, so the Redskins went ahead and ruled him out. Even in a good matchup against the Jets, Terry McLaurin is the only Washington receiver we recommend trusting in fantasy lineups.

Marquise Brown (ankle) is officially active for Week 11.

Brown continues to get listed as questionable while dealing a minor ankle issue, but there was no question he’d be out there against the Texans. Against a team that is susceptible to the deep ball, the dynamic rookie receiver is a top-20 wide receiver option for Week 11.

The Vikings activated Josh Doctson to the 53-man roster.

After being placed on injured reserve on September 12, Doctson is officially going to play as one of the Vikings’ two designated-to-return players, which isn’t surprising after he returned to practice at the end of last month. Doctson could have an immediate role helping fill in for an injured Adam Thielen, and he has some built-in chemistry with Kirk Cousins from their time together in Washington, but the former Redskins first-rounder is not a highly recommended fantasy pickup at the moment.

Tim Patrick plays well in Week 11.

In his first game since Week 1 after spending the last several weeks on injured reserve with a knee injury, Patrick caught four passes for 77 yards in the Broncos’ close loss at Minnesota. Patrick was briefly out of the game because of a shoulder issue, but he was very much involved opposite Courtland Sutton when in the game. DaeSean Hamilton (no receptions) was dealing with a knee issue entering the game, but it appears Patrick is clearly the No. 2 receiver for Denver at the moment. Patrick is not a must-own in redraft leagues, but he’s someone to keep an eye on.

David Montgomery (ankle) is officially listed as questionable for Week 11.

Montgomery was able to get in a limited practice today after missing yesterday’s practice following a light roll of his ankle on Wednesday. We would think the rookie running back will be able to play through a rolled ankle, but fantasy owners could be in a bind with the Bears kicking off at night. If you plan to use Montgomery in your Week 11 lineup, just be sure to have a backup plan in mind in case he’s inactive.

The Steelers released Tony Brooks-James.

Brooks-James had gotten a good amount of action in Week 10 and played pretty well despite the stat line not looking great, but he had just one carry against the Browns a couple of nights ago. Brooks-James might land back on the Steelers practice squad soon.
