Fantasy Impact: Muse was placed on IR in September with a hand injury, what was called a "small fracture." He has the opportunity to return as early as Week 12 but will need to be activated ahead of Week 14 or miss the rest of the year. The Vikings have used three tight ends in Week 11 (Johnny Mundt, Josh Oliver and the recently returned T.J. Hockenson), and Muse's return could shake up the order, though he played just two offensive snaps this season in two games.
MarShawn Lloyd has been placed on the NFI list and will be out indefinitely. (Source: Matt Schneidman on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact: The Packers recently designated Lloyd to return from injured reserve, but after that, he came down with a case of appendicitis. He will officially be moved to the NFI list, which means that he will be out for the time being, but will have a chance to return later in the season. Fantasy managers should expect Josh Jacobs to continue to see the vast majority of touches in Green Bay's backfield for the foreseeable future.

Bryce Young will start for the Panthers' game against the Chiefs, per HC Dave Canales (Source: Mike Kaye on X)
Fantasy Impact: Young has been starting in place of an injured Andy Dalton for the last several weeks, but while Dalton's health seems to be improving, the Panthers are sticking with their 2023 No.1 overall selection. Developing Young and getting him more playing time in what will amount to a lost season is the best course of action, but it will be hard to expect much from him this week against the Chiefs defense.

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.
The 49ers signed Pat O'Donnell to their practice squad.
