Fantasy Impact: Davis was already confirmed out for the season after it was announced that he tore his meniscus and this move makes it official.

The Jaguars activated Keilan Robinson from injured reserve.

Fantasy Impact: Robinson will hold a depth role in the Jaguars backfield. The rookie should be behind Travis Etienne Jr., Tank Bigsby, and D’Ernest Johnson.

Fantasy Impact: Boyle appeared in two games with the Dolphins earlier this season. He'll add depth to the Giants quarterback room following the news of Daniel Jones being benched.

Fantasy Impact: Watt got the day off from practice to open the week on Monday. He should be a full-go for Thursday's game against the Browns.

Alex Highsmith remained absent from practice on Tuesday. (Source: Camryn Justice on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Highsmith was considered week-to-week last week according to Mike Tomlin. It seems unlikely that he returns on a short week.

Fantasy Impact: Harris was given the day off from practice on Monday. He should be an RB2 play on Thursday against the Browns.

Fantasy Impact: Njoku is coming off a strong game catching nine passes for 81 yards against the Saints last week. He should remain a TE1 play on Thursday against the Steelers.

Myles Garrett was absent from practice on Tuesday. (Source: Camryn Justice on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: It is a new injury for Garrett. His status will be worth monitoring to see if he returns to practice on Wednesday.

Elijah Moore was limited at practice on Tuesday. (Source: Camryn Justice on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Moore has been limited back-to-back days to open the week. He should be a WR3/WR4 on Thursday against the Steelers.

The New York Jets fired GM Joe Douglas. (Source: Connor Hughes on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Douglas spent the past five-plus years as the general manager for the Jets. They are 3-8 to start this season as many things have gone wrong for them. The Jets were 30-64 during his time as the GM. Coach Robert Saleh was also fired earlier this season.

The Cowboys' D/ST logged one sack and one interception while allowing 28 points in Monday night's loss to the Houston Texans.

Fantasy Impact: Dallas' defense did not play well on Monday night. They logged one sack and one interception, but they allowed Houston's offense to score 28 points en route to a comfortable win. They also allowed Joe Mixon to total 150+ yards and three touchdowns, and fantasy managers should be looking to start running backs who get to matchup against Dallas' defense in the near future.

Brandon Aubrey went 1-of-2 on field goal attempts and made his lone extra point attempt in Monday's 34-10 loss to the Houston Texans.

Fantasy Impact: Dallas struggled heavily on Monday night, and Aubrey was no exception to that. He missed one of his two field goal attempts against Houston, and he was only able to total four points on the night. Fantasy managers shouldn't have high expectations for him moving forward.

Luke Schoonmaker hauled in 6-of-10 targets for 56 yards in Monday's 34-10 loss to the Houston Texans.

Fantasy Impact: Jake Ferguson left Monday night's game early with a concussion, and that left Schoonmaker with a lot of opportunities for the Cowboys. He was targeted ten times over the course of the night, which turned into six receptions for 56 yards. He could see increased involvement in Week 12 if Ferguson has to miss a game.

KaVontae Turpin caught three passes for 86 yards and a touchdown in Monday's 34-10 loss to the Houston Texans.

Fantasy Impact: Turpin saw just three targets on Monday, but he was able to make the most out of them. He totaled 86 yards and a touchdown over the course of the night, which led to a pretty good fantasy total. Still, fantasy managers shouldn't consider rostering him with Cooper Rush at the helm for the Cowboys.

Ezekiel Elliott rushed the ball one time for eight yards and caught three passes for 16 yards in Monday's 34-10 loss to the Houston Texans.

Fantasy Impact: The team recently made the decision to make Rico Dowdle their clear-cut RB1, so Elliott wasn't given many opportunities on Monday night. He caught three passes, but he rushed the ball just one time, which doesn't bode well for his future fantasy value if he continues to see so little opportunities. Fantasy managers shouldn't bother rostering him for the time being.

Jalen Tolbert caught 2-of-5 targets for 21 yards in Monday's 34-10 loss to the Houston Texans.

Fantasy Impact: Tolbert wasn't able to do much on Monday. He caught just two passes over the course of the game, which led to just 21 yards overall and a poor fantasy total. He will continue to struggle for however long Cooper Rush continues to start for the Cowboys.

Rico Dowdle rushed the ball ten times for 28 yards and caught two passes for six yards in Monday's 34-10 loss to the Houston Texans.

Fantasy Impact: Dowdle did not perform well on Monday night. He totaled 28 yards on the ground on just 2.8 yards per carry, and he wasn't able to make up for that in any other areas of the game. He will continue to struggle for however long Dallas' offense as a whole continues to struggle.

CeeDee Lamb caught 8-of-12 targets for 93 yards in Monday night's 34-10 loss to the Houston Texans.

Fantasy Impact: Lamb was able to pull out a nice performance on Monday night, despite catching passes from Cooper Rush. He led the team with 93 receiving yards on the night, and his eight receptions was a significant boost in PPR formats. His ceiling is lower than it used to be with Dak Prescott (hamstring) set to miss the remainder of the season, but he should continue to be started in all league formats moving forward.
