Patriots | Maye exits with ankle injury after 48 passing yards in loss to Lions Sun Nov 15, 12:41 PM
New England Patriots QB Drake Maye completed 3 of 4 passes for 48 yards in Sunday's 35-10 loss to the Detroit Lions. He left the game in the first quarter with an ankle injury and did not return. He was projected for 21.2 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 3.0.
| Footballguys view: He'll have additional testing on his ankle injury during the bye week, which will tell whether he'll miss more time. If Maye is your fantasy QB1, you might need to upgrade your backup if you aren't comfortable playing them next week and going forward for at least a week or two after that. Tommy Devito would start for the Patriots if Maye misses any time, which is not promising for the fantasy values of their players. |

Buccaneers | Baker Mayfield's status 'uncertain' for Week 11 with lower-leg injury Sun Nov 15, 11:02 AM
Buccaneers QB Baker Mayfield is dealing with a lower-leg injury suffered in last Sunday's loss to the Bears, NFL Network's Mike Garafolo reported. Mayfield's status for the Week 11 game at the Lions is in question because of the injury to his foot and ankle area, sources told NFL Network. Tampa Bay is on its bye in Week 10.
| Footballguys view: The Bucs offense hasn't improved or even changed from the blueprint the team used when they had to turn to UDFA rookie Jalon Daniels, so this doesn't really change the fantasy outlook of the underperforming passing game. The Bucs defense is one of the best in the league, and it has kept games mostly low-scoring, so the team has been able to rely on Bucky Irving and a conservative passing game, but they might not have that luxury against the Lions next week. Daniels is worth adding in 2QB/Superflex leagues on this news. |

Seahawks QB Drew Lock (right elbow/oblique) has no injury designation and will start Sunday's Week 10 game at the Raiders. Lock was limited in practice throughout the week. Head coach Mike Macdonald said on Monday that he believed Lock's oblique strain was minor, with QB Sam Darnold ruled out for the game.

Seahawks | Macdonald says Drew Lock 'had a good week', Milroe making most of first-team reps Fri Nov 13, 04:53 PM
Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald said on Friday that QB Drew Lock had a good week of practice. Macdonald also volunteered that QB Jalen Milroe has made the most of his opportunities to work with the No. 1 offense as the team has managed Lock's reps this week. Seattle practiced in the rain on Friday.
| Footballguys view: Lock is expected to start this week with Sam Darnold out, but was limited in every practice this week with two injuries: one to his oblique and another to the elbow on his throwing arm. Milroe getting some first-team reps is interesting, but we expect Lock to start barring a setback, since he was removed from the final injury report. |

Vikings | Kirk Cousins will start Sunday vs. Packers, Kyler Murray ruled out Fri Nov 13, 04:08 PM
Vikings QB Kirk Cousins will start Sunday's game against the Packers, head coach Kevin O'Connell said on Friday. QB Kyler Murray has been ruled out with his hamstring injury.
| Footballguys view: As Kevin O'Connell said in Wednesday's press conference, "We acquired Kirk to join a 6-2 football team and play." And play he will. Cousins is expected to immediately elevate a sputtering Vikings offense. It's a bit early to trust Cousins in Week 10 lineups, but Justin Jefferson's managers can breathe a sigh of relief. |

Chiefs | Patrick Mahomes full on Friday, no designation for Week 10 at Atlanta Fri Nov 13, 03:41 PM
Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes (knee/right elbow) was a full participant in practice on Friday. He has no injury designation for Sunday's game against the Falcons.
| Footballguys view: Mahomes has been on the injury report every week this year due to his knee. The "elbow" inclusion this week came after he was awkwardly hit while attempting a pass. He was able to shake it off, return to the game, and then follow it up with a full week of practice. He can be started as a fringe QB1 this week in Atlanta. |

Patriots | Drake Maye off injury report, set to play Sunday vs. Lions Fri Nov 13, 12:23 PM
Patriots QB Drake Maye (right shoulder) is off the injury report and is set to play in Sunday's game against the Lions in Madrid.
| Footballguys view: Maye has been on the injury report for most of the year with this right shoulder issue, but it hasn't kept him from being an elite fantasy option over the last month. Start him this week in what could be a shootout against the Lions. |

Lions | Jared Goff has no injury designation for Week 10 vs. Patriots Fri Nov 13, 11:56 AM
Lions QB Jared Goff (chest) has no injury designation for Sunday's game against the Patriots in Munich. Goff was a full participant in practice on Friday. He was limited on Wednesday before upgrading to full participation on Thursday.
| Footballguys view: No concern here after back-to-back full practices. Start Goff this week against a susceptible Bills defense as a QB1. |

Ravens | Lamar Jackson has broken, dislocated thumb, 6-10 week timeline after surgery Fri Nov 13, 09:31 AM
Ravens QB Lamar Jackson suffered a broken and dislocated right thumb, and the team says his injury timeline is 6-10 weeks after surgery. "We will let his progress guide the timing of his return," the Ravens said in a statement. Jackson has said he plans to return this season.
| Footballguys view: This timeline matches our initial estimate. If Jacoby Brissett can keep the offense humming, expect Jackson to push a bit harder to hit the six-week end of this range. If they are losing, there's a chance we don't see Jackson again this year. Jackson can be stashed in deep leagues, but there's certainly a chance that he's already played his last snap in 2026. |

Seahawks | Drew Lock limited again in Thursday's practice Thu Nov 12, 06:57 PM
Seahawks QB Drew Lock (oblique) was again a limited participant in practice on Thursday. Lock was also limited on Wednesday. The Seahawks plan to start Lock again on Sunday against the Raiders, with Sam Darnold ruled out.
| Footballguys view: Lock has a couple of injuries that he's battling through. The team has Jalen Milroe ready as the no.2 quarterback, and he's an exciting and athletic prospect. Lock should be fine running the offense, and the team should have little problem handling the Raiders (starting rookie QB Fernando Mendoza) on Sunday. |

Vikings | Kirk Cousins back in No. 8 on Vikings' practice field Thu Nov 12, 04:32 PM
Vikings QB Kirk Cousins was on the practice field on Thursday, wearing his old No. 8. The team played Creed's "Higher" during warmups. Minnesota acquired Cousins from the Raiders on Tuesday.
| Footballguys view: Cousins loves him some Creed, and Vikings fans loves them some Cousins. He should be able to step in and start right away since he's familiar with Kevin O'Connell's system. In his first game back, and taking on the Packers in Week 10, we have Cousins in the low-end QB2 range. It's also interesting to note that Vikings GM Nolan Teasley said there is "always potential" for Cousins to remain in Minnesota beyond 2026. To do that, Cousins needs to play good football the rest of this season...which he is quite capable of doing. |

Texans | C.J. Stroud calls Xavier Hutchinson 'the most reliable' on the team Wed Nov 11, 04:05 PM
Texans QB C.J. Stroud said on Wednesday that WR Xavier Hutchinson is "the most reliable" player on the team. Stroud said Hutchinson works the hardest and sprints on every play, and that he is not surprised by Hutchinson's production.
| Footballguys view: Hutchinson is a great blocker, and he can get some looks near pay dirt from time to time. Against the Browns in Week 10, we've got Hutchinson as a touchdown-dependent deep flex play. |

Giants | J.J. McCarthy 'good to go' for Thursday night vs. Commanders Wed Nov 11, 04:05 PM
Giants QB J.J. McCarthy (hip) is "good to go" for Thursday night's Week 10 game against the Commanders.
| Footballguys view: The hip problem led to some great memes, but it's not going to cost McCarthy the Week 10 game. McCarthy was a full participant in the Giants' only practice of the short week on Tuesday. We've got him in the middle of the QB2 tier, and that make him an option in start-2QB/superflex leagues. |

Panthers | Bryce Young off the injury report for first time since Week 3 Wed Nov 11, 02:42 PM
Panthers QB Bryce Young was off the injury report on Wednesday for the first time since Week 3. Young had been listed with an ankle injury, and he was a full participant on last week's estimated report.
| Footballguys view: Good news for the Panthers here. Even with a 3-5 record, the Panthers sit atop the NFC South. A healthy Young can help them stay on track for the playoffs. From a fantasy perspective, we like Young as a QB1 against the Saints in Week 10. |

Vikings | Kyler Murray to be DNP on projected report, 'just started his running progression' Wed Nov 11, 02:27 PM
Vikings QB Kyler Murray will be listed as a non-participant on Wednesday's projected injury report, head coach Kevin O'Connell said. The Vikings are not practicing on Wednesday. Murray, who has been dealing with a hamstring strain, "just started his running progression" on Wednesday, O'Connell said.
| Footballguys view: Murray is not an option for the Vikings in Week 10 - and Carson Wentz should not be an option any longer. The team made a trade for Kirk Cousins, and we imagine he'll be the starter in Week 10. O'Connell is just being coy by not admitting Cousins will start against the Packers. In fact, Green Bay is preparing for Cousins as the starter. |
