Chicago Bears WR Alshon Jeffery was suspended four games Monday, Nov. 14, for violating the NFL's policy on performance-enhancing drugs.

Wow. That is going to put a damper on some fantasy seasons. The already shaky Bears offense takes a huge hit with this news. Cameron Meredith is going to get a lot of work and Eddie Royal will see more targets if he gets healthy. Zach Miller should also get a healthy workout now. Jay Cutler is going to remain their starter at quarterback, and he will find some favorite to lock onto.

New England Patriots TE Rob Gronkowski (lung) suffered what is believed to be a punctured lung in Week 10, according to a source. The tight end finished the game, but he could miss the Week 11 contest versus the San Francisco 49ers.

This is always pretty serious, and a further consideration is that most of the time flying is a no-no in the early days of recovery. So unless Gronkowski is going on the most awesome road trip ever, there's a good chance he won't play next weekend. So there's good chance guys like Julian Edelman and Martellus Bennett could go off against a 49er defense.

MIA - WR DeVante Parker earning trust

Source: Palm Beach Post - Joe Schad

Miami Dolphins WR DeVante Parker enjoyed his best week of practice 'by far' leading up his five-catch, 103-yard receiving performance a Week 10 win over the San Diego Chargers. Parker attributed some of his success to the fact he was healthy enough to play closer to full speed after dealing with hamstring injuries for the majority of the season.

[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]

We had expected Parker to have a break out season given that head coach Adam Gase had tapped him to be his slot receiver, a position which had previously sent Gase's players to great heights. That fell by the wayside due to injury and a lack of execution on the part of both Parker and quarterback Ryan Tannehill. He could have another down game against a Los Angeles Rams defense which will get after Tannehill and the continued play of running back Jay Ajayi.

Green Bay Packers WR Ty Montgomery (illness) did not participate in practice Wednesday, Nov. 16.

[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]

This injury/illness coupled with the fact the Packers actually have healthy RBs now makes Montgomery more of a WR6 (desperation flex) play in Week 11 against Washington.

Cincinnati Bengals QB Andy Dalton (shoulder) was limited in practice Wednesday, Nov. 16, with a right shoulder injury.

We're a little concerned about Dalton against a tough Buffalo defense, and the shoulder injury adds to that. Still, he can put up numbers and for now we have him as a borderline QB1/QB2. He's coming off a pretty mediocre outing against the Giants due to the offensive line issues and some poorly tiomes penalties. We think he'll bounce back a bit, though not all the way this week.

Free-agent FB Glenn Gronkowski (Patriots) was re-signed to the New England Patriots' practice squad Wednesday, Nov. 16.

Apparently you have to have one healthy Gronkowski at all times. It's in the Patriots rulebook, we assume. Given the problems gaining just two yards at the end of the loss to Seattle, another blocker is a good plan and we wouldn't be shocked if he makes his way to the active roster.

Seattle Seahawks RB C.J. Prosise is expected to remain the starter for now.

Prosise did well in part because he was a great receiver out of the backfield. We think that combination will again serve him (and his Fantasy GMs well) as a decent RB2 start. As Thomas Rawls gets his sea legs back though, we'll see more of a split and Prosise may end up just being a change of pace back.

This is ridiculous. Does anyone really think that the team will quit over an inexperienced quarterback versus Ryan Fitzpatrick's 400 interceptions in the red zone? Are we buying this? Probably not.

Dalton's been up and down this year, though he looked sharp in two of the last three weeks. The Bills secondary is a bit shaky, though its front seven can be tough. We think Dalton does OK, but there are a lot of guys we like more, so we've got Dalton as a solid QB2 with some upside.

OAK - Questionable tag for WR Amari Cooper

Source: Raiders.com

Oakland Raiders WR Amari Cooper (back) was limited during practice Saturday, Nov. 19, and is listed as questionable for Week 11.

[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]

Cooper is on the probable side of questionable. We think he's a WR1 against the Texans, and we're expecting an offense show (on the Raiders side at least) in Mexico City on Monday night.

HOU - WR Will Fuller questionable

Source: Houston Chronicle - Aaron Wilson

Houston Texans WR Will Fuller (knee) was limited during practice Saturday, Nov. 19, and is listed as questionable for Week 11. Head coach Bill O'Brien said he feels good about Fuller's chances to play against the Oakland Raiders.

[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]

On paper, this looks like a good matchup for the Texans offense on Monday night. The Raiders aren't playing up to their potential on defense, and they allow 283.2 net passing yards per game (30th in the NFL). Fuller would make for a 'what the heck' flex play against the Raiders in Week 11.

Pittsburgh Steelers WR Markus Wheaton (shoulder) was placed on the Reserve/Injured list Saturday, Nov. 19.

Things were supposed to be better for Wheaton in a contract year. He finishes the season with only four catches for 51 yards and a touchdown. We can't imagine he gets more than a 'prove it' deal in free agency.

GB - Crash course for RB Christine Michael

Green Bay Packers RB Christine Michael said he has already picked up on some aspects of the offense, and offensive coordinator Edgar Bennett said there is a plan in place for Michael to 'get him up to speed.'

[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]
We don't think Michael is going to play against Washington on Sunday. If you've stashed him, then just keep him on your bench before he's more up to speed in the Packers offense.

NO - Positive outlook for RB Mark Ingram

Source: ESPN.com - Mike Triplett
New Orleans Saints RB Mark Ingram (concussion) should be 'fine' for Week 12 against the Los Angeles Rams, according to head coach Sean Payton, and Payton said he wasn't sure if Ingram was officially diagnosed with a concussion.
[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]
We'll know more about Ingram next week during practice. If he misses time, the team is just going to lean on Tim Hightower more. Even if Ingram plays against the Rams in Week 12, the Saints might want to limit his role.

Updating previous reports, Cincinnati Bengals WR A.J. Green (hamstring) has a tear in his hamstring and will undergo an MRI to determine the severity of the injury, according to a source.

[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]

Green could miss the rest of the season in a positively seismic injury in fantasy leagues. Tyler Boyd was the immediate beneficiary today, but things tightened up on Tyler Eifert after Green went out. Next week the Bengals face the Ravens in a game that will effectively end their season if they can't win.

McCoy should be a solid RB1 if he is ready for Jacksonville next week, but Mike Gillislee performed well in relief of McCoy and should be one of the most widely-owned handcuffs because Buffalo has a manageable schedule going forward.

DET - QB Matthew Stafford doesn't do much

Detroit Lions QB Matthew Stafford completed 24 of his 33 pass attempts for 278 yards, no touchdowns and no interceptions in the Week 11 game against the Jacksonville Jaguars. He also ran twice for no gain.

[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]

Stafford was shut down for long portions of this game and he only got a chance to lead the team to a win because of a defensive and special teams touchdown. Stafford will be better off on our benches as the Lions try to get into first place by themselves with a win over the Vikings on Thanksgiving.

Jones is only emergency depth until he hurts us for leaving him on our benches. He hasn't been the same since Golden Tate got on track, and Eric Ebron has also been ahead of him in the pecking order. He's a desperation play against Minnesota on Thanksgiving.

TJ Yeldon went down with an ankle injury, leaving Ivory as the lead back. He wasn't very effective as a runner, but Ivory was the most successful receiver for Blake Bortles. If Yeldon can't go against Buffalo next week, Ivory will be a solid RB2.

Smith passed 1000 receptions and was locked in as Joe Flacco's #1 receiver. Once healthy earlier in the season, Smith had back to back eight reception games. He should be slotted in as a strong PPR WR2 going into a matchup with Cincinnati.

Dallas Cowboys rookie QB Dak Prescott completed 27 of his 36 attempts for 301 yards, three touchdowns and no interceptions in the Week 11 game against the Baltimore Ravens. He also rushed twice for 16 yards.

[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]
Prescott was steady and found more and more flaws in the Ravens defense as the game went on. Dez Bryant played a bigger role as the offense got closer to the end zone, and Prescott was able to use secondary receivers well, as he has all season. He's a strong QB1 only looking up at a handful of quarterbacks in the rankings.

Cincinnati Bengals TE Tyler Eifert caught three passes for 37 yards against the Buffalo Bills in Week 11.

[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]

Eifert didn't have the room to operate in the middle of the field that he usually enjoys with AJ Green sidelined. His outlook could be helped by additional targets, but the value of each target is lowered without Green to keep safeties' attention. He's probably not an elite TE1 option any longer without Green on the field.

[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]

Palmer had a few stretches of good play, but his pick six near the end of the first half that went 100 yards the other direction was too much to overcome. He has a relatively easy run of passing defenses coming up, starting with Atlanta next week, so streamers should not let Palmer go after the predictable down performance.

An update to yesterday's game news. Bengals RB Giovani Bernard suffered a torn ACL and will miss the rest of the season.

As if the Bengals weren't reeling enough with A.J. Green's hamstring tear, Cincinnati now must deal with losing a key running back.

Jeremy Hill will certainly see some extra work. If you're looking for a pickup, RB Rex Burkhead looks like he'll be the guy that will get a shot for some of the RB pass catching roles where Bernard was so effective.
