The unfortunate reality of the NFL is that when players are allowed to go full speed, injuries are bound to happen. Week 10 of the NFL season was no exception. Now that fantasy football managers are updating their lineups for the coming week, several players have found themselves on the injury report, leaving their status for Week 11 up in the air.
Update 11/18/21: For the most recent information on all fantasy-relevant players, check out our up-to-date Week 11 Fantasy Injury Report.
Fantasy Football Injury Report: QB update
Which signal-callers are banged up coming out of Week 10? Who’s availability is in jeopardy for Week 11?
Baker Mayfield, Cleveland Browns
Baker Mayfield left Sunday’s game with a knee injury, but it’s not expected to sideline him for Week 11. Head coach Kevin Stefanski stated in his post-game conference that Mayfield suffered a knee contusion and could have returned to the game had it been closer.
Mayfield was 11 of 21 for 73 yards, a touchdown, and an interception before getting hurt. Case Keenum, who came on in relief, was 8-of-12 for 81 yards.
Fantasy Football Injury Report: RB update
How is the injury bug affecting RB committees heading into Week 11? Will fantasy managers need to make backup plans just in case?
Aaron Jones, Green Bay Packers
This is a big one. With one minute left to play in the third quarter, Aaron Jones instantly grabbed his right knee after being tackled on a 6-yard rush. He received help from medical staff, who assisted him to the medical tent. Jones was ruled out for the remainder of the contest after rushing 7 times for 25 yards and recording 4 receptions for 61 yards.
According to ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter, Jones’ initial diagnosis is a sprained MCL. However, he will undergo further testing on Monday to determine the full extent of his injury. There is the potential that Jones’ season is over. AJ Dillion will be the No. 1 waiver wire claim for Week 11 if available.
Ty Montgomery, New Orleans Saints
Ty Montgomery appeared to seriously injure his pinky finger while going to the turf on Sunday. He was ruled out for the remainder of the contest. Montgomery had 1 rush for 2 yards before he exited the game.
Jermar Jefferson, Detriot Lions
Jermar Jefferson had his best day as a professional RB, rushing 3 times for 41 yards with a touchdown, but he was forced to leave the game early. Jefferson injured his ankle as he was tackled into the end zone and was carted off the field after he managed to get to the sidelines. He was ruled out for the remainder of the contest.
WR Injury Update for Week 11
News for pass catchers is essential in PPR leagues. These are the fantasy-relevant WRs currently on the NFL’s Week 11 injury report.
Terry McLaurin, Washington Football Team
In the second quarter of Washington’s win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Terry McLaurin was brought down and suffered a collarbone/shoulder injury. He was taken to the locker room and listed as questionable.
Luckily enough, he was able to return. McLaurin is expected to play in Week 11, but his situation is worth monitoring as the week progresses.
CeeDee Lamb, Dallas Cowboys
CeeDee Lamb reportedly suffered an arm contusion sometime in the first half of Sunday’s trouncing of the Atlanta Falcons. Lamb went on to play the rest of the game and obliterated the Falcons’ defense, catching 6 of 7 passes for 94 yards and 2 touchdowns.
TE Injury Update for Week 11
Which tight end injuries should we be mindful of when setting our Week 11 fantasy lineups? Who is in danger of missing their next game?
Dallas Goedert, Philadelphia Eagles
In the first quarter of the Eagles’ matchup with the Denver Broncos, Dallas Goedert sustained a hit to the head by safety Justin Simmons. Goedert left the field and was quickly ruled out for the remainder of the game. He will now enter the NFL’s concussion protocol. Tyree Jackson, a QB-to-WR-to-TE convert, could be a name to keep an eye on if Goedert is ruled out.
