Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Penix Jr. (knee) aggravated the same knee injury that forced him to miss time earlier this season, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. The second-year quarterback had completed 13 of his 16 pass attempts for 175 yards before exiting Sunday's Week 11 loss against the Carolina Panthers. Rapoport notes that Penix is headed for additional testing, but the initial expectation is that he will miss time. That would leave Kirk Cousins in line to make his second start of the season next Sunday against the New Orleans Saints. The veteran went just 6-for-14 passing with 48 yards in relief of Penix this week. He led zero touchdown drives but did get Atlanta in position for two fourth-quarter field goals.

Cleveland Browns quarterback Dillon Gabriel (concussion) has entered the league's concussion protocol, leaving his status for Week 12 against the Las Vegas Raiders up in the air. However, according to head coach Kevin Stefanski, Gabriel will remain the starter if he is healthy and clears concussion protocol. The Oregon product was replaced by fellow rookie Shedeur Sanders following his injury, but it didn't go very well as Sanders completed just four of his 16 pass attempts, took two sacks, and threw an interception. Gabriel, on the other hand, went 7-for-10 passing with 68 yards through the air, and he also led four scoring drives. Cleveland is at its best when it controls the rushing attack, which leaves Gabriel outside the top 24 fantasy quarterbacks going forward.

Cleveland Browns quarterback Shedeur Sanders will return to the backup role if Dillon Gabriel (concussion) clears concussion protocol ahead of Week 12 against the Las Vegas Raiders. Head coach Kevin Stefanski confirmed that Gabriel will be the starter when healthy. Gabriel exited midway through Sunday's Week 11 contest against the Baltimore Ravens. He had orchestrated a six-point lead, but Sanders struggled upon entering, completing just four of his 16 pass attempts with one interception and two sacks. Neither Gabriel nor Sanders is very appealing in redraft leagues, and both would rank outside the top 24 quarterbacks against Las Vegas.

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Tyrell Shavers caught four of his five targets for a team-high 90 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's Week 11 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. His biggest play of the game was a 43-yard touchdown that temporarily gave Buffalo the lead in the second quarter. Shavers capitalized on an increased opportunity to produce with Keon Coleman (coach's decision) inactive. The third-year receiver played 53.6% of the offensive snaps, setting a new career-high. Coleman should return to action next week, but Shavers has shown that he deserves to compete for more opportunities alongside Coleman, Khalil Shakir, and Joshua Palmer.

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Travis Etienne Jr. had 19 carries, 73 rushing yards, and two rushing touchdowns during Sunday's Week 11 win over the Los Angeles Chargers. He was unable to haul in either of his two targets in the passing game. Etienne ceded early-game touches to Bhayshul Tuten (ankle), but then the rookie left the game with an injury, clearing the way for Etienne to re-establish himself as the lead back. The 26-year-old took full advantage of the opportunity, helping fuel a 35-6 upset victory at home. If Tuten is healthy in Week 12, we could see somewhat of a 50/50 backfield split, as both running backs have proven that they are effective and can provide a spark. In a split backfield, Etienne is a low-end RB2. However, he would jump to the RB1 tier if he operates as the workhorse or if Tuten misses time.

Houston Texans wide receiver Nico Collins caught nine of his 10 targets for 92 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's Week 11 win over the Tennessee Titans. Collins paced the team in all major receiving categories, building on an equally impressive performance from back in Week 10. The Texans' top receiver has strung together three impressive games in a row, amassing at least 10 targets, seven receptions, and 14.5 fantasy points (PPR) in each of those contests. He ranks as a top-24 fantasy receiver this season, but his latest hot streak has him teetering on the edge of the WR1 tier for a Week 12 contest against the Buffalo Bills that will likely require C.J. Stroud (concussion) to throw a lot.

San Francisco 49ers kicker Eddy Pineiro (hamstring) is considered questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Arizona Cardinals. Pineiro appears to have pulled his hamstring during the second half of this contest. The assumption is that punter Thomas Morstead would take over as the kicker for the rest of the contest. The 49ers are already up multiple scores in the middle of the fourth quarter. That being said, San Francisco might elect to not kick at all. Before exiting, Pineiro knocked down all three field goal attempts, while connecting on 2-of-4 extra points kicks in this game. Fantasy managers will need to check back for another update on Pineiro.

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Kenneth Gainwell was a stud through the air during Sunday's game against the Cincinnati Bengals. Gainwell saw increased playing time with Jaylen Warren (ankle) barely playing in the second half. The 26-year-old rushed the ball nine times and was held to 26 yards on the ground. However, Gainwell was excellent in the receiving game this weekend. He hauled in seven of his eight targets for 81 yards and scored two touchdowns in the win. Gainwell could see a larger workload if Warren is forced to miss time. Fantasy managers will need to check back for another update. Gainwell could be a popular waiver wire addition ahead of the Week 12 matchup against the Chicago Bears.

Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson seemed unstoppable during Sunday's game against the Carolina Panthers. Robinson saw a heavy workload as he rushed the ball 23 times for 104 yards and scored two touchdowns in the overtime loss. Robinson scored a one-yard and a four-yard touchdown, so not flashy plays, but he got the job done. He also hauled in four of his five targets for an additional 39 yards through the air. Robinson had a few sluggish weeks, but he is back to giving fantasy managers elite value. He'll head into a plus-matchup against the New Orleans Saints in Week 12.

Los Angeles Rams tight end Tyler Higbee (ankle) is currently considered questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Seattle Seahawks. Higbee suffered an ankle injury during the second half of this contest. The severity of the issue is unclear, but it's already the fourth quarter, so it's uncertain if he'll return. Before exiting, Higbee hauled in one of his two targets for 23 yards. Terrance Ferguson figures to move up the depth chart and take on a larger role for the rest of this game, assuming Higbee doesn't return.

Cleveland Browns quarterback Dillon Gabriel (concussion) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Baltimore Ravens. Gabriel was pulled out and was taken to the locker room to be evaluated for a concussion. He didn't join the team in the second half and is officially done for the day. Before exiting, Gabriel completed 7-of-10 passing attempts for 68 yards. Now, Shedeur Sanders will take over under center for the rest of this game. Sanders is making his NFL debut and gets a chance to prove himself with his team leading to begin the second half.

Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs (knee) was forced to exit early during Sunday's game against the New York Giants. Jacobs was pulled out in the second quarter due to a knee issue and didn't return. He finished the game with seven carries for 40 yards in the victory. The organization is uncertain of the severity of the injury right now, but doesn't believe it's a season-ending injury. Jacobs is set to undergo further testing on Monday. If he misses time, Emanuel Wilson and Chris Brooks would stand to gain value. Fantasy managers will need to check back for another update on Monday.

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan caught eight of 12 targets for 130 yards and two touchdowns during Sunday's Week 11 win over the Atlanta Falcons in overtime. McMillan continues to showcase a phenomenal rapport with Bryce Young, fetching at least eight targets in eight of his first 11 games. The rookie set new season-highs (and, thus, career-highs) in targets, catches, and receiving yards on Sunday. He'll look to build on his momentum as a high-end WR2 with WR1 upside entering Week 12 against the San Francisco 49ers.

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen completed 19 of his 30 pass attempts for 317 passing yards, three passing touchdowns, and two interceptions during Sunday's Week 11 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He also added six rushing attempts, 40 rushing yards, and three rushing touchdowns. Allen was highly efficient in Sunday's explosive outing, both in terms of scoring and yardage. The two turnovers did make his job slightly harder, but he certainly made up for it with the six touchdowns. He continues to be a spectacular, must-start fantasy option and will rank as a high-end QB1 heading into Week 12 against the Houston Texans.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Sean Tucker had 19 carries, 106 rushing yards, and two rushing touchdowns during Sunday's Week 11 loss against the Buffalo Bills. He also caught two passes for 34 receiving yards and one receiving touchdown. Bucky Irving (foot, shoulder) was sidelined again this week, and Tucker established himself as the primary option out of the backfield over Rachaad White. The 24-year-old showed plenty of explosiveness, as two of his three touchdowns came from 28+ yards. The Bucs can make a case for having the best backfield in the NFL, as Irving, Tucker, and White have all shown that they're capable of being an RB1 in fantasy football. Irving should reclaim the lead-back role when healthy, but both White and Tucker deserve to handle a large dose of touches, too. Tucker is a fantasy RB2 with Irving sidelined and an RB3/flex with Irving healthy. Tampa Bay takes on the Los Angeles Rams in Week 12.

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Elic Ayomanor suffered a hamstring injury during Sunday's Week 11 loss against the Houston Texans, according to Terry McCormick of Titan Insider. Ayomanor played through the injury, as he was on the field for 84.7 percent of the snaps and never exited with any sort of injury designation. The rookie finished the game with six targets, two catches, and 11 receiving yards. Although he struggled to deliver meaningful production, he did see a decent target share after Calvin Ridley (leg) and Chimere Dike (chest, concussion) were both ruled out. Ridley is done for the season, and Dike is at risk of missing next week's game in concussion protocol. As a result, Ayomanor has a chance to lead the Titans' receiving corps against the Seahawks in Week 12, assuming he's healthy enough to suit up. Van Jefferson should also earn increased opportunities going forward.

Arizona Cardinals running back Emari Demercado (ankle) exited during the second quarter of Sunday's Week 11 contest against the San Francisco 49ers. He is officially listed as questionable to return. At the time of his departure, he had eight rushing yards on five carries, plus two catches for an additional 12 receiving yards. Demercado had been sharing reps as part of the Cardinals' backfield committee, so Bam Knight should take over as the primary running back for the duration of his absence. Michael Carter also figures to earn some touches.

Atlanta Falcons head coach Raheem Morris did not have an update on quarterback Michael Penix Jr. (knee) while addressing the media following Sunday's Week 11 loss against the Carolina Panthers. Morris did note that "there was a chance Penix could come back in the game, but [it] was not looking good," according to Baillie Burmaster of Atlanta News First. The head coach's comments seem to indicate that Penix may have been available in an emergency situation, but the team opted to play Kirk Cousins in a close divisional battle that went to overtime. The second-year quarterback will likely undergo additional testing on Sunday or Monday so that the team can gain more clarity on his status. He'll have seven days to get healthy before Week 12 against the New Orleans Saints. If he can't suit up next Sunday, Cousins would be in line to start his second game of the season. Whichever quarterback starts next week could be without wide receiver Drake London (knee), who exited in the waning minutes of Week 11 and was quickly ruled out.

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Chimere Dike (chest, concussion) was officially ruled out of Sunday's Week 11 contest with a concussion, but he also suffered a chest contusion in the loss to Houston, according to Terry McCormick of Titan Insider. He finished the game with three targets, two catches, and 14 receiving yards. There's currently no timetable for his return, as Dike must clear the NFL's concussion protocol before he can return to action. He will also require treatment and time to rehab his chest injury. When Dike does return, he'll likely step up as the Titans' No. 1 receiver after Calvin Ridley (leg) suffered a season-ending fibula fracture. In the meantime, Elic Ayomanor (hamstring) and Van Jefferson will lead the Titans' receiving corps.

Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur declined to provide additional information on running back Josh Jacobs (knee) following Sunday's Week 11 win over the New York Giants. LaFleur acknowledged that he was "concerned about the welfare" of Jacobs, but he did not comment on the running back's status going forward. Presumably, he'll undergo more testing on Sunday evening or Monday morning. The team could provide an update on Monday, but if they don't, fantasy managers will have to wait until Wednesday for the Packers' first injury report of the week. Jacobs has seven days to get healthy before Week 12 against the Minnesota Vikings. If he can't suit up, Emanuel Wilson would take over as the Packers' primary running back.
