New Notes Wednesday 

Daily NFL Fantasy Football News Report — Wednesday, November 11, 2026

As of 7:05 AM CST | Focus: Week 10

1. Top Headlines / Must-Know

Puka Nacua (LAR, WR) is expected to be placed on IR after suffering MCL and PCL sprains plus turf toe. He will miss at least a month (earliest possible return Week 15). Drop him from active lineups immediately and pivot to other Rams options or waiver targets; stash only if you have an IR slot.

Malik Willis (MIA, QB) was placed on IR with a groin/core-muscle injury and will miss at least four games. Kyle McCord (MIA, QB) is in line for his first career start this week at Indianapolis. Drop Willis if you need the roster spot; McCord is a deep-league streamer only.

Cam Skattebo (NYG, RB) practiced fully and was called a “full go” by coach John Harbaugh for Thursday Night Football vs. Washington. Jayden Daniels (WAS, QB) and Malik Nabers (NYG, WR) also practiced fully. Start all three with normal confidence.

Josh Jacobs (GB, RB) will undergo surgery on a fractured finger and is expected to miss multiple weeks (IR remains possible). Plan for his absence through at least the next couple of games and elevate Packers backups.

Trade-deadline fallout continues to reshape roles: Kirk Cousins to Minnesota, Josh Downs to Kansas City, Keenan Allen to San Francisco, and Fernando Mendoza named the starter in Las Vegas.

2. Injury & Availability Updates

• Puka Nacua (LAR, WR) — Expected IR (MCL/PCL + turf toe). Out multi-week.

• Malik Willis (MIA, QB) — IR (groin). Out 4+ weeks.

• Josh Jacobs (GB, RB) — Surgery (finger). Out multiple weeks.

• Cam Skattebo (NYG, RB) — Full practice (hamstring). Expected to play Thursday.

• Jayden Daniels (WAS, QB) — Full practice (elbow). Expected to play Thursday.

• Malik Nabers (NYG, WR) — Full practice (knee). Expected to play Thursday.

• Treylon Burks (WAS, WR) — Limited (foot). Monitor Thursday.

• Lamar Jackson (BAL, QB) — IR (thumb). Out several more weeks.

• Sam Darnold (SEA, QB) — Out this week; Drew Lock (SEA, QB) expected to start again.

• Gardner Minshew (ARI, QB) — IR (elbow); potential season-ending.

Handcuff Alert

Josh Jacobs (GB, RB) is sidelined. Elevate the top available Packers running back (monitor official depth chart) as the immediate handcuff who rises into weekly flex consideration. For the Rams, secondary receivers and tight ends (Tyler Higbee, etc.) gain target share while Nacua is out.

3. Practice, Preseason & Role Notes

TNF practice reports show strong participation for the main fantasy pieces: Daniels, Nabers, and Skattebo all full; Burks upgraded to limited. No game designations yet. Trade-deadline moves create immediate role shifts — Downs joins the Chiefs receiving corps, Allen joins the 49ers, and Mendoza takes over as the Raiders starter with Brock Bowers remaining the clear top target.

4. By Position Summary

• QB: Daniels is a confident Thursday start; McCord is a speculative streamer; Lock is a short-term option.

• RB: Skattebo rises into strong RB2 territory this week; Jacobs falls to the bench/IR.

• WR: Nacua is a multi-week loss; Nabers is a high-floor start; Downs and Allen gain new opportunities.

• TE: Chig Okonkwo (WAS, TE) practiced full and remains a viable streamer.

5. Risers & Fallers

• Riser — Cam Skattebo (NYG, RB): Full practice + “full go” designation makes him a strong Thursday start.

• Riser — Malik Nabers (NYG, WR): Full practice and clear No. 1 role in a favorable matchup.

• Riser — Kyle McCord (MIA, QB): First start opportunity; deep-league add if desperate.

• Faller — Puka Nacua (LAR, WR): Multi-week IR stint removes him from all lineups.

• Faller — Malik Willis (MIA, QB): IR placement ends his season-long streaming value for now.

• Faller — Josh Jacobs (GB, RB): Surgery and multi-week absence force a pivot.

6. Waiver / Add Priority & Watch List

1. Top Packers RB backup (Jacobs handcuff).

2. Rams secondary WRs / Tyler Higbee (Nacua absence).

3. Kyle McCord (MIA, QB) — speculative streamer.

4. Josh Downs (KC, WR) — new opportunity in a strong offense.

5. Monitor Fernando Mendoza (LV, QB) and Raiders pass-catchers.

7. Key Matchups to Watch / Weather Flags

TNF: WAS @ NYG (Daniels/Nabers/Skattebo volume expected).

MIA @ IND (McCord debut).

No significant weather flags reported yet for the early window; re-check closer to Sunday.

8. Quick Hits / Other Notes

• Lamar Jackson remains on IR with a thumb injury (projected multi-week).

• Michael Wilson (ARI, WR) is out for the season with a neck injury.

• Tyreek Hill (free agent) is nearing medical clearance from a prior knee injury.

• Brandon Aiyuk has been reinstated by the NFL.

9. Closing

Star-level attrition continues to dominate Week 10, with Nacua and Willis joining the IR list while TNF starters look ready. Re-check official Friday designations and inactives before final lineup decisions.
