Fantasy Impact: Johnson has been limited in practice to open the week, but should be on track to play in Week 11, barring any setbacks. With Tank Bigsby dealing with an ankle injury, Johnson could serve as the backup running back against the Lions.

Fantasy Impact: Henry upgraded his participation level after being limited in Wednesday's practice. Fantasy managers should expect Henry to suit up against the Rams in Week 11.

49ers RB Christian McCaffrey (Achilles) was a limited participant in practice Thursday. (Source: Nick Wagoner on Twitter )

Fantasy Impact: McCaffrey is coming off his season debut after missing significant time with an Achilles injury, so the limited workload in practice is not a surprise. He will likely see the bulk of the work out of the 49ers' backfield against Seattle.

49ers TE George Kittle (hamstring) was a limited participant in practice Thursday. (Source: Nick Wagoner on Twitter )

Fantasy Impact: Kittle did not practice Wednesday, so the upgraded level of participation is a step in the right direction. Head coach Kyle Shanahan has not shown any concern regarding Kittle's availability for Week 11.

49ers WR Jauan Jennings (ankle) was a limited participant in practice Thursday. (Source: Nick Wagoner on Twitter )

Fantasy Impact: Jennings was midweek addition to the injury report, meaning he likely picked up the injury during practice. He will have one more session to avoid an injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup with Seattle.

Seahawks TE Noah Fant (groin) did not participate in practice Thursday. (Source: John Boyle on Twitter )

Fantasy Impact: Fant continues to miss practice time ahead of Sunday's matchup with the 49ers and will likely be ruled out. AJ Barner will likely see the bulk of the snaps at tight end in Week 11.

Lamar Jackson (rest/knee) was a limited participant at practice on Thursday. (Source: Baltimore Ravens on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Jackson is a new addition to Baltimore's injury report. He was a limited participant due to a knee injury and a planned rest day, but it doesn't seem like a real threat to his Week 11 availability. Fantasy managers should keep tabs on what his official injury designation ends up being following Friday's practice.

Isaiah Likely (hamstring) logged a full practice session on Thursday. (Source: Baltimore Ravens on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Likely wasn't able to play last week due to a hamstring injury, but it looks like he's going to be good to go for Week 11. He was able to log a full practice session on Thursday, so barring anything unforeseen, he should be available to play against the Steelers. His return will mean less work for Mark Andrews moving forward.

Nico Collins (hamstring) was a limited participant at Houston's practice on Thursday. (Source: Houston Texans PR on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Collins has missed an extended period of time due to a hamstring injury, but he was able to log a limited practice session on Thursday. It looks like he's trending towards playing in Week 11, but we won't know his official injury designation until later in the week. Fantasy managers should start him without hesitation if he's available to make his return in Week 11.

Will Anderson Jr. (ankle) was a non-participant at Houston's practice on Thursday. (Source: Houston Texans PR on Twitter)

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.
