Giants QB Jaxson Dart out vs. Packers; Jameis Winston to start

Fri Nov 14 4:11pm ET
Field Level Media

New York Giants rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the visiting Green Bay Packers, the team announced Friday.

Dart sustained a concussion during New York's 24-20 setback to the Chicago Bears.

Although Russell Wilson replaced Dart in that game, veteran Jameis Winston was announced on Wednesday to be Giants' starter versus Green Bay (5-3-1) if the rookie was unable to play.

Also on Friday, the Giants (2-8) ruled out wide receiver Darius Slayton (hamstring) and linebacker Kayvon Thibodeaux (shoulder). Neither player participated in practice throughout the week.

New York listed safety Tyler Nubin (neck) and defensive lineman Rakeem Nunez-Roches (toe) as doubtful after both players failed to participate in practice this week. Linebacker Bobby Okereke (shoulder) was limited in practice Friday and is questionable to face the Packers.

Winston, 31, inked a two-year, $8 million deal with New York in the offseason. He has yet to see action this season.

Drafted No. 1 overall in 2015 by Tampa Bay, Winston made the Pro Bowl as a rookie and topped the NFL with 5,109 passing yards for the Buccaneers in 2019.

Winston is 36-51 as a starter, completing 61.2% of his passes for 24,225 yards, 154 touchdowns and 111 interceptions in 105 games (87 starts) with the Bucs (2015-19), New Orleans Saints (2020-23) and Cleveland Browns (2024).

His last appearance came in Cleveland's 21-7 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 15 of last season.

Wilson, who turns 37 on Nov. 29, replaced Dart in the second half against the Bears and completed 3 of 7 passes for 45 yards while being sacked twice.

Slayton, 28, has 23 catches for 343 yards in eight games this season.

Player Notes
Evan Engram Nov 14 10:40pm CT
Evan Engram

Denver Broncos tight end Evan Engram had high expectations from fantasy managers heading into the 2025 campaign, although it's safe to say he hasn't delivered. Most assumed that a change of scenery would benefit him. Head coach Sean Payton also led many to believe Engram would hold a pivotal role on the offensive side of the ball. However, that hasn't happened, with the 31-year-old catching 28 passes for 227 yards and one touchdown in nine appearances. With some time left before the end of the regular season, Engram has a chance to turn things around, but, until that happens, he has no business being in fantasy lineups. Keep him on the bench for the Week 11 AFC West clash with the Kansas City Chiefs.

Amon-Ra St. Brown Nov 14 10:40pm CT
Amon-Ra St. Brown

Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown has been one of the most productive pass-catchers in the NFL so far this season, hauling in 64 catches for 693 yards and eight touchdowns on 82 targets across nine games played. However, the Lions have a difficult matchup in Week 11 when they travel to Philadelphia to take on the Eagles. Through 10 weeks, Philadelphia's defense is tied with the Denver Broncos for the fewest receiving touchdowns allowed (eight) in the league. Still, St. Brown should have plenty of chances to make his mark in Week 11 as the clear lead weapon in the Detroit passing game. Additionally, the 26-year-old's already sizable target share could get even bigger due to the absence of tight end Sam LaPorta (back). St. Brown profiles as a must-start fantasy wide receiver in Week 11 against Philadelphia.

Kalel Mullings Nov 14 10:20pm CT
Kalel Mullings

According to team reporter Jim Wyatt, Tennessee Titans running back Kalel Mullings (ankle) won't be activated for Sunday's contest against the Houston Texans. The rookie practiced in a limited capacity throughout the week. Although he's seemingly nearing a return from his lengthy stint on the IR because of an ankle injury, it appears he'll need at least one more game before potentially getting the green light to get on the field. Mullings didn't log a snap in any of his appearances this season. As long as Tony Pollard and Tyjae Spears are in the mix, that isn't expected to change even when he's cleared to come off the Injured Reserve list. As of now, the 23-year-old has no value for redraft participants. On the other hand, he can remain stashed in dynasty formats.

Chigoziem Okonkwo Nov 14 10:10pm CT
Chigoziem Okonkwo

Tennessee Titans tight end Chig Okonkwo (foot) is off the injury report heading into the Week 11 meeting with the Houston Texans. The 26-year-old was limited in practice throughout the week due to a foot injury, although it won't keep him off the field for Sunday's contest. Despite having plenty of preseason hype, Okonkwo has failed to meet expectations for fantasy managers. In nine games, he's amassed only 29 catches (39 targets) for 281 yards while failing to score a touchdown. Granted, Okonkwo still has more snaps than Gunnar Helm. However, Helm has at least found the end zone. All things considered, with Cam Ward under center, neither player has done enough to earn a spot in most fantasy lineups. Keep both benched against one of the top defenses in the National Football League.

Nick Westbrook-Ikhine Nov 14 10:00pm CT
Nick Westbrook-Ikhine

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Nick Westbrook-Ikhine has played a lot of snaps since the injury to Tyreek Hill (knee), but he hasn't turned that into much production. His snap share also dropped a little bit last week against the Bills, even though he still played 47% of snaps, the second-most of any receiver on the team. In that game, Westbrook-Ikhine only had one catch for seven yards and has only had four catches in the last three weeks combined. He's in a favorable matchup early on Sunday morning against the Commanders, but he's not getting enough work to be a regular contributor in most fantasy formats. He's the WR83 in RotoBaller's Week 11 rankings.

David Montgomery Nov 14 10:00pm CT
David Montgomery

Detroit Lions running back David Montgomery rushed for an efficient 71 yards on 15 carries in a Week 10 win over the Washington Commanders, but he failed to score a touchdown for the third time in his last four games. The result was a modest fantasy performance for Montgomery, which will likely be the case every week that he fails to find the end zone. Montgomery has just 14 receptions across nine games this season, as fellow Lions back Jahmyr Gibbs is the clear receiving threat in Detroit's backfield. In Week 11, Montgomery and the Lions will travel to Philadelphia to take on the Eagles. While the Eagles' defense is a tough unit to score on overall, it is tied for the sixth-most rushing touchdowns allowed (11) in the NFL so far this season. If the Detroit offense can work its way into goal-to-go situations, Montgomery could have a decent chance to hit pay dirt. He profiles as a low-end fantasy RB2 in Week 11 against Philadelphia.

Greg Dulcich Nov 14 10:00pm CT
Greg Dulcich

Miami Dolphins tight end Greg Dulcich has taken over as the team's primary receiving tight end with Darren Waller (pectoral) on IR and Julian Hill (ankle) missing the last three weeks. Even with Hill ready to return this week, Dulcich should stay involved. Dulcich caught five passes on five targets for 49 yards in Week 9 against the Ravens, but he only managed one catch for 22 yards on four targets in Week 10. He's getting enough looks to be a deep-league sleeper against the Commanders, who have been a top-10 matchup for tight ends this season. However, he's still in a struggling offense with a volatile role, so he's only the TE26 in RotoBaller's rankings this week, making him a tough option to count on in the Dolphins' Sunday morning matchup in Madrid.

Malik Washington Nov 14 9:50pm CT
Malik Washington

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Malik Washington found the end zone for the second time in the last three weeks on Sunday against the Bills, and he caught multiple passes for the eighth week in a row. He has a good matchup against the Commanders this week, but his yardage totals have been underwhelming in the Dolphins' conservative passing scheme. While Washington has 30 catches, he only has 192 yards this year, and last week, he only had nine yards on his two catches. He saved his fantasy week with a touchdown against the Bills, but this week he's the No. 52 wide receiver in RotoBaller's rankings, even against the Commanders, who give up the third-most fantasy points to receivers. The Dolphins haven't given him many chances for big plays, although his volume of targets and catches does make him a deep league option to monitor.

Darius Cooper Nov 14 9:50pm CT
Darius Cooper

Philadelphia Eagles rookie wide receiver Darius Cooper (shoulder) was listed as a full practice participant on Friday's injury report and appears to be good to go for Sunday's game against the Lions. Cooper saw his snap count decrease from a career-high 26 down to 11 between his last two games, and once again failed to get any targets in his most recent showing against the Packers. Philly has not turned to their first-year undrafted rookie yet and has plenty of preferred weapons in front of him. Cooper is still best left off of rosters until he proves to have any worth in fantasy.

From RotoBaller

Dallas Goedert Nov 14 9:50pm CT
Dallas Goedert

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert's six targets were second-most for his team in their last game, trailing only behind DeVonta Smith who had seven. Unfortunately for Goedert, this was his third game of the season in which he did not score a touchdown, and he has relied heavily on finding the end zone to have real fantasy production. He'll look to get back to his scoring ways this week against the Lions, whose defense allows the 13th-least amount of fantasy points to tight ends this year. In two of Detroit's last four games, the leading receiver for the opposing team has been a tight end (Cade Otton and Travis Kelce), which poses some promise for Goedert heading into Sunday Night Football. It feels like starting him boils down to taking the gamble on whether or not he finds pay dirt, but he still does it more often than not. He's a low-end TE1 in Week 11.

From RotoBaller

Jahmyr Gibbs Nov 14 9:50pm CT
Jahmyr Gibbs

Detroit Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs dominated the Washington Commanders in Week 10, recording 172 scrimmage yards and three touchdowns on 18 touches. He'll now face a significantly tougher test in Week 11 when the Lions travel to Philadelphia to take on the Eagles. The Eagles' defense is a mid-pack unit in yards per carry allowed (4.4). However, they rank in the top ten in the NFL in per-game opponent scoring (21.3 points per game). One possible boost for Gibbs' fantasy value in Week 11 is his potential for receiving work. The Lions will be without tight end Sam LaPorta (back) against Philadelphia, which could put Gibbs in position for more targets. Even in a tough matchup, Gibbs profiles as a must-start fantasy running back in Week 11.

From RotoBaller

Jake Elliott Nov 14 9:50pm CT
Jake Elliott

Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott made his only extra point attempt and his only field goal attempt from 39 yards in his most recent performance against the Green Bay Packers. While Elliott found his accuracy again, he was not given enough opportunities to put up any significant fantasy numbers in a game that ended 10-7. This week he'll kick against the Detroit Lions, who allow just 22.2 points per game to opposing offenses. Elliott has only made multiple field goals in one game this season, and is best left off of rosters until he shows some more fantasy production.

From RotoBaller

Saquon Barkley Nov 14 9:40pm CT
Saquon Barkley

Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley has gone without a rushing touchdown in four of his last five games after Monday's 10-7 victory over the Packers. For a low-scoring game, however, Barkley did manage a decent fantasy outing with three catches for 41 yards and matched his season-high carry count with 22. On Sunday, he is faced with a Lions defense that allows the second-least amount of fantasy points to RBs this season, giving up just seven scores on the ground through nine games. In a game where the Eagles may need to play catch-up against a powerful Detroit offense, Barkley could also be in for less attempts if Philly has to rely on the passing game. While it's an uphill battle, he is the type of player that can dominate a game in any given week. Start Barkley as a solid RB1, but temper expectations ever so slightly.

From RotoBaller

Will Shipley Nov 14 9:40pm CT
Will Shipley

Philadelphia Eagles running back Will Shipley set his season high for touches in a game last week against the Packers, carrying the ball four times and hauling in two catches. This resulted in 34 total yards, which is also his best in a single game this year. Philly's backfield has been tough to keep track of through the first 10 weeks, as Shipley, Tank Bigsby, and A.J. Dillon have rotated between the lead backup role behind Saquon Barkley. While Bigsby shined with over 100 rushing yards in Week 8, he got only 12.7% of offensive snaps against Green Bay compared to Shipley's 19%. Regardless of who gets the bulk going forward, Shipley is best left out of lineups this week against the Lions and should be rostered as a handcuff at best.

Jared Goff Nov 14 9:40pm CT
Jared Goff

Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff had one of his best games of the season in Week 10, completing 25 of 33 pass attempts for 320 yards and three touchdowns in a 44-22 win over the Washington Commanders. Goff now gets a significantly more challenging matchup in Week 11 when the Lions travel to Philadelphia to take on the Eagles. Through 10 weeks, Philadelphia has allowed the ninth-fewest passing yards (1,979) in the NFL, and they are tied with the Denver Broncos for the fewest passing touchdowns allowed (eight). To make matters worse, Goff will be without one of his top receiving weapons in tight end Sam LaPorta (back). If there's a reason for positivity about Goff's fantasy outlook in Week 11, it's the potential for pass volume. The Lions are underdogs against Philadelphia, and Goff is averaging 35 pass attempts per game in losses compared to 28 pass attempts per game in wins. Goff profiles as a fringe fantasy QB1 and a must-start quarterback in two QB formats in Week 11.

Jaylen Waddle Nov 14 9:40pm CT
Jaylen Waddle

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle is in a great matchup in Spain this week as his team takes on the Commanders as part of the NFL International Series. Waddle caught five of his seven targets last week against the Bills and finished with 84 receiving yards and his fifth touchdown of the season. He has operated as the clear No. 1 receiver in Miami since Tyreek Hill's knee injury, and he has at least five catches and 80 yards in five of his last six games, including three touchdowns and a 100-yard performance. The Commanders have allowed the third-most fantasy points to receivers this season, and since he'll get so much attention from Tua Tagovailoa this week, Waddle checks in as the No. 13 WR in RotoBaller's rankings, making him a fringe WR1 and an excellent WR2 this week. He should be started in almost all formats.

A.J. Brown Nov 14 9:40pm CT
A.J. Brown

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown had another frustrating performance against the Packers, with his three targets being the least amount of looks he's gotten in a game since Week 1. The only grace Brown can be granted is that this was his first playing time since Week 7's meeting with the Vikings, so maybe his lower snap count of 77.8% and lack of production can be partially chalked up to injury recovery. Nevertheless, he has not been the stud fantasy player many expected him to be this season. The Green Bay game marked the fourth time in eight games that Brown has finished with less than 30 receiving yards this year. His upcoming contest is against the Lions, who allow the 12th-most fantasy points to WRs this season. He has proven that he still has boom potential, but his bust performances have made him a frightening lineup option. Consider him a low-end WR2 for a primetime face-off on Sunday night.

From RotoBaller

DeVonta Smith Nov 14 9:40pm CT
DeVonta Smith

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith is looking more and more like the true first option in the Philly passing game after outperforming and out-snapping A.J. Brown against the Packers. Smith has now led his team in receiving yards in five of their nine contests-including the last three in a row-while Brown has done so only once. In Week 11, the Lions travel to Lincoln Financial Field boasting a defense that has not allowed a 100-yard receiver in their last four games. Smith has put up more than 14 points in PPR formats in four of his last five performances, but he'll have his work cut out for him on Sunday night. His target numbers have gotten higher and more consistent after the first four weeks of the season, making him a more reliable WR2 for this week and the foreseeable future.

From RotoBaller

Jaylen Wright Nov 14 9:20pm CT
Jaylen Wright

Miami Dolphins running back Jaylen Wright finally got some work in the team's backfield in Week 10 against the Bills, and he could again serve as De'Von Achane's backup in Week 11 against the Commanders in Madrid. Wright had a larger role since Ollie Gordon II was questionable with an injury and only played three snaps, but this week Gordon has no injury designation, even though he was limited in practice with an ankle injury. Wright took his five carries for 17 yards last week and now has 14 carries for 45 yards on the season. Achane is expected to take most of the work again this week, with Wright and Gordon possibly picking up a few carries as well. Wright doesn't bring much upside, though, even in this favorable matchup. He's only the RB 67 in RotoBaller's rankings, indicating that he's safe to leave on the waiver wire in almost all formats, even though it's worth watching whether he works ahead of Gordon again.

Jalen Hurts Nov 14 9:20pm CT
Jalen Hurts

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts saved what would have been an abysmal fantasy performance last week with a 36-yard touchdown pass in the fourth quarter, but still had an overall disappointing night. This was Hurts' second game in a row with less than 200 passing yards, and he coughed up a fumble in the red zone on his first drive of the game. This week, he'll look to bounce back as the Lions come into town on Sunday Night Football. Detroit allows the 12th-least amount of passing yards per game this season (199.7), but they're also tied for the seventh-most passing touchdowns given up (18). While Philly and the Packers combined for just 17 points, this upcoming matchup is full of high-octane offensive juggernauts and is primed to be more of a shootout. Believe in Hurts to get back to his normal self as a trustworthy QB1 in Week 11.
