Fantasy Impact: An ankle injury left Anderson sidelined in Week 10, and the same issue left him sidelined at practice to start the week. It remains to be seen whether or not he will play in Week 11, and Houston's defensive front will be weaker than usual if he's unable to play against the Cowboys.

Dameon Pierce (groin) returned to Houston's practice as a limited participant on Thursday. (Source: Houston Texans PR on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Pierce was unable to play in Week 10 due to a groin injury, but he was able to return and log a limited practice session on Thursday. He may be able to play in Week 11's game against the Cowboys, but it remains to be seen if that will be the case or not. His return would mean less work for Dare Ogunbowale moving forward.

Aaron Jones (ribs) was limited again at practice on Thursday. (Source: Minnesota Vikings on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: As expected, Jones was a limited participant at practice on Thursday. He suffered an injury to his ribs in last week's game, and the team has yet to determine whether or not he will play in Week 11. Fantasy managers should expect more work for Cam Akers if the veteran is unable to play.

Josh Oliver (wrist/hand) was officially limited in Minnesota's practice on Thursday. (Source: Minnesota Vikings on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Oliver was limited for a second-straight practice on Thursday. It's unclear what his status for Week 11 looks like, but the team is hopeful that he will be able to play against the Titans. We'll get an official injury designation for him after Minnesota's practice on Friday.

Sam Darnold (hand) was upgraded to a full participant at practice on Thursday. (Source: Minnesota Vikings on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Darnold was able to log a full practice session on Thursday after being limited at Wednesday's practice due to a hand injury. He should be good to go for Week 11, which is great news for all of Minnesota's skill-position players in a matchup against the Tennessee Titans.

Harrison Butker (knee) has been placed on injured reserve and will be sidelined for at least four weeks. (Source: Ian Rapoport on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Butker recently underwent a procedure to trim his meniscus, and the team has placed him on injured reserve as a result. He will be out for the next four weeks at the very least, and the team signed Spencer Shrader to replace him. He should be back for the end of the season and playoffs, but fantasy managers shouldn't bother rostering him for the time being.

Spencer Shrader is signing a deal with the Kansas City Chiefs. (Source: Tom Pelissero on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: The Chiefs went out and signed Shrader from off of the Jets' practice squad on Thursday. This comes after they placed Harrison Butker on injured reserve due to a knee injury, which means that they will need a replacement for him for the next four weeks at least. Fantasy managers should expect Shrader to be a decent fantasy option for however long he starts for the Chiefs.

Jaquan Brisker (concussion) has been placed on injured reserve and will be out for the next four weeks at least. (Source: Ari Meirov on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Brisker has been sidelined since he suffered a concussion back in Week 5, and now the team is placing him on injured reserve. That means that he will be out for the next four weeks at the very least, and it's possible that his absence will extend beyond that. It's unusual that someone would take this long to recover from a concussion, so it seems like there may be some further complications that haven't been revealed yet.

Jamaal Williams (groin) is not practicing with the Saints on Thursday. (Source: Ross Jackson on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Williams is going to miss his second-straight practice on Thursday due to a groin injury. It looks like he is going to miss Week 11's game, although we won't know for sure until after practice on Friday. Either way, Alvin Kamara is primed for a huge workload against the Cleveland Browns.

Jaylen Warren (back) missed Pittsburgh's practice on Thursday. (Source: Brooke Pryor on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Warren was added to the injury report and was not able to participate at practice on Thursday. He's dealing with a back injury right now, and it looks like it is a real threat for his availability for Sunday's game. If he's out, fantasy managers should expect Najee Harris and Cordarrelle Patterson to see more work in his absence.

Najee Harris (ankle) was a full participant at practice on Thursday. (Source: Brooke Pryor on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Harris was able to log a full practice session on Thursday. He was a non-participant on Wednesday due to an ankle injury, but it's not a serious issue and it likely won't affect him for Week 11. He'll be primed for more work than usual if Jaylen Warren (back) is unavailable to suit up for the Steelers.

Van Jefferson (quad) was back at practice as a limited participant on Thursday. (Source: Brooke Pryor on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: The Steelers got Jefferson back at practice on Thursday after he missed Wednesday's practice due to a quad injury. He was still limited at practice, but it's a good sign that he will be available to play in Week 11. Calvin Austin III will see more work in the off-chance that Jefferson doesn't play in Sunday.

Darnell Mooney (Achilles) was a limited participant at practice on Thursday. (Source: Tori McElhaney)

Fantasy Impact: Mooney is a new addition to Atlanta's injury report, being listed with an Achilles injury that left him limited at practice on Thursday. The exact severity of it is unknown right now, so it remains to be seen whether or not this is a real threat to his Week 11 availability. Kyle Pitts and Ray-Ray McCloud III will both be primed for more work if the veteran is out on Sunday.

Tyler Allgeier (quad) fully practices for the Falcons on Thursday. (Source: Tori McElhaney)

Fantasy Impact: A quad injury left Allgeier limited at practice on Wednesday, but he was able to put up a full practice session on Thursday. He should be good to go for Sunday's game against the Broncos and will continue to serve as Atlanta's RB2 behind Bijan Robinson.

Kirk Cousins (shoulder/elbow) logged a full practice session on Thursday. (Source: Tori McElhaney)

Fantasy Impact: Cousins was added to the team's injury report on Wednesday due to a pair of injuries, but neither of them are serious and he was upgraded to a full participant on Thursday. He should be good to go for Week 11, which is great news for all of Atlanta's skill-position players.

Amari Cooper (wrist) was officially a limited participant at practice on Thursday. (Source: Buffalo Bills PR on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Cooper wasn't able to log a full practice session on Thursday. He's still dealing with a wrist injury, and it's unclear what his status is looking like for Week 11 at this point. Fantasy managers should pay close attention to what his official injury designation ends up being following Friday's practice.

Dalton Kincaid (knee) was a non-participant at practice on Thursday. (Source: Buffalo Bills PR on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: The Bills have been without Kincaid for both practices to start the week. He's managing a knee injury right now, and it looks like he has a real shot of missing Sunday's game. If he's unavailable to play, Dawson Knox will see increased usage in his absence.

MarShawn Lloyd (ankle/hamstring) was limited at practice on Thursday. (Source: Bill Huber on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: To no surprise, the rookie was a limited participant at practice on Thursday. He's still working on ramping up from an ankle injury that has left him sidelined for more of the season, and he's also managing a hamstring injury right now. Whenever he's back in the lineup, that will mean less work for Josh Jacobs (quad) moving forward.

Josh Jacobs (quad) was listed as limited in Green Bay's practice on Thursday. (Source: Bill Huber on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Jacobs was once again limited due to a quad injury. It's not thought to be a serious issue, however, and all signs seem to point to him playing this weekend. His workload will depend on whether or not rookie MarShawn Lloyd (ankle/hamstring) is available to play for the Packers.

Jaire Alexander (knee) was limited at practice again on Thursday. (Source: Bill Huber on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: A knee injury left Alexander limited for a second-straight practice on Thursday. It looks more likely than not that he will play on Sunday, but we won't know for sure until after Friday's practice. The team is hopeful that he will play in their divisional matchup against the Bears.
