Final Fantasy Football Injury Report for Week 11: Trevor Lawrence, Jaylen Warren, Nico Collins, George Kittle and More
This is the final injury report before we head into football Sunday for Week 11.
Quarterbacks
Trevor Lawrence, Jacksonville Jaguars (Shoulder)
As expected, Lawrence has been ruled out for Week 11 with a shoulder injury and Mac Jones will get another start in his absence. The Jags have a bye week coming up in Week 12, so the team is hoping that the time off will give him enough to be healthy for their following game. Having Jones at quarterback is a significant downgrade for all the Jacksonville pass catchers, most notably star rookie Brian Thomas Jr., who has lived off of big plays downfield, which are something a weak-armed Jones is not capable of making on any sort of consistent basis.
Dak Prescott, Dallas Cowboys (Hamstring)
It has been determined that Prescott's hamstring injury will require surgery and will end his 2024 campaign. Cooper Rush got the first shot at the starting job and is expected to get a second start in Week 11. There is a chance that Trey Lance also gets a crack at it if things don't get better for Rush. Either way, both quarterbacks are a massive downgrade for everyone on the Dallas offense. Even CeeDee Lamb has become a more risky option now.
Running Backs
Isiah Pacheco, Kansas City Chiefs (Leg)
Pacheco has been ruled out for Week 11 and is not yet ready to be activated off of injured reserve and to the 53-man roster. The Chiefs just opened up his 21-day practice window this week. There is a good chance we see him back in action at some point before the end of November.
Tank Bigsby, Jacksonville Jaguars (Ankle)
Bigsby has been ruled out for Week 11 with an ankle injury, which leaves the vast majority of running back snaps to Travis Etienne. Etienne is still a subpar option this week, but Bigsby being ruled out at least makes him a flex consideration.
Jaylen Warren, Pittsburgh Steelers (Back)
How quickly things change in the NFL. When the practice week started, Najee Harris was slapped with a DNP and seemed to be at risk of missing Week 11 after suffering an injury in Week 10. Then Harris returned to full practice and Warren is now listed as questionable for Sunday's game with a back injury. If Warren does sit this one out, it vastly improves Harris' value and upside this week.
MarShawn Lloyd, Green Bay Packers (Illness)
This has been a snake-bitten year for Lloyd. The rookie rusher finally looked poised to return to action this week after a stint on the injured reserve until he woke up this week with appendicitis. Odds are this will require an appendectomy and a multiple-week recovery.
Wide Receivers
Nico Collins, Houston Texans (Hamstring)
After a stint on injured reserve, Collins is practicing in full this week and looks to be on track to play on Monday Night Football. His return should be a big boost for a struggling C.J. Stroud.
Tee Higgins, Cincinnati Bengals (Quad)
Barring any sort of setback, Higgins is finally ready to return this week from his quad injury.
JuJu Smith-Schuster, Kansas City Chiefs (Hamstring)
Barring any setbacks, Smith-Schuster will return to action on Sunday. This will be our first look at how the passing attack will look with both DeAndre Hopkins and Smith-Schuster healthy.
Davante Adams, Las Vegas Raiders (Wrist/Illness)
Despite dealing with a minor illness and wrist soreness this week, Adams is fully expected to be active for Week 11.
Michael Pittman Jr., Indianapolis Colts (Back)
Pittman is set to return this week after sitting out Week 10 with back and finger injuries. However, his value is going to take a big hit with Anthony Richardson back under center.
Amari Cooper, Buffalo Bills (Wrist)
Cooper is once again officially listed as questionable for Week 11. The team is optimistic that he'll play, however, this is a situation you should still be monitoring to make sure he's active on Sunday.
Tight Ends
George Kittle, San Francisco 49ers (Hamstring)
Kittle appears to be on the right side of questionable heading into Week 11.
Sam LaPorta, Detroit Lions (Shoulder)
LaPorta has been ruled out for this week's game due to a shoulder injury. Brock Wright will be the next man up at tight end.
Dalton Kincaid, Buffalo Bills (Knee)
Kincaid has been ruled out for Week 11 with a knee injury he suffered last week. Dawson Knox will slide into the starting role in his absence.
Noah Fant, Seattle Seahawks (Groin)
Fant has once again been ruled out this week with a groin injury that we knew was going to take some time to heal. AJ Barner will get the start with Fant sidelined.
