### Fantasy Football Week 11: Key Inactives and Player Updates
Managing your fantasy football roster can be a nerve-wracking experience as NFL teams announce who will and won't be playing each week. To help you make informed decisions, we have compiled crucial updates on player statuses as NFL teams release their official inactives lists. These updates will enable you to avoid starting players who won’t see the field and make necessary adjustments to your lineup.
Dalton Kincaid, the Buffalo Bills’ tight end, has been ruled out due to a knee injury, giving Dawson Knox an opportunity to step up. Kincaid is expected to return in Week 13 following the Bills' bye week. On the other hand, wide receiver Amari Cooper, also from Buffalo, is active despite a wrist issue, whereas Keon Coleman is inactive.
In Denver, wide receiver Josh Reynolds is out and on injured reserve as he continues to recover from surgery. This situation keeps Devaughn Vele in the marginal fantasy relevance for the time being. Over in Kansas City, running back Isiah Pacheco remains out with an ankle injury, thus allowing Kareem Hunt to continue leading the backfield for at least another week. Additionally, kicker Harrison Butker is also out due to knee surgery, with Spencer Shrader stepping in for kicking duties.
Seattle tight end Noah Fant is out with a groin injury, meaning AJ Barner will start, and Brady Russell is also ruled out for Week 11. Similarly, San Francisco’s George Kittle has been listed as inactive due to a hamstring injury, prompting fantasy managers to find alternative options.
From Cincinnati, Charlie Jones won’t be playing because of a groin issue, but Tee Higgins, who was previously dealing with a quad injury, is expected to be in action. Meanwhile, Detroit’s Sam LaPorta is out due to a shin injury, and Brock Wright will replace him.
Green Bay faces a setback as running back MarShawn Lloyd is out with an illness, just when he was about to return from IR. This may sideline him for the rest of the season. Quarterback Trevor Lawrence from Jacksonville is out with a shoulder injury, giving Mac Jones another week of starting duties, while running back Tank Bigsby won’t play due to an ankle injury. Travis Etienne Jr. will handle most of the backfield work, with D’Ernest Johnson as the backup.
Las Vegas has ruled out tight end Harrison Bryant due to an ankle injury, but Michael Mayer, who missed time for personal reasons, is active and ready to play. New Orleans running back Jamaal Williams will miss the game with a groin injury, pushing Taysom Hill into the "No. 2 RB" role behind Alvin Kamara. Wide receiver Cedrick Wilson Jr., also from New Orleans, is active despite a shoulder issue, affecting Marquez Valdes-Scantling’s fantasy allure, while Mason Tipton remains inactive.
Lastly, in the New York Jets camp, wide receiver Davante Adams is set to play despite a wrist injury, after being seen practicing on Friday. Pittsburgh’s Jaylen Warren, who had a back issue, and Tyler Boyd from Tennessee, dealing with a back problem, are both active. Najee Harris, who was removed from the injury report, will start for Pittsburgh, and Nick Westbrook-Ikhine remains a safer pick despite Boyd’s return.
These updates provide critical insights into which players you should start or sit in your fantasy football lineups for Week 11. Make sure to adjust your roster accordingly to stay competitive.
