Let's get to it. J --------------------------------------------------------------- [] INSIDE THIS ISSUE 1. [KC - WR Mecole Hardman activated](#1) 2. [DEN - QB Drew Lock to start Sunday](#2) 3.

[KC - WR Mecole Hardman activated](=) Source: NFL Network - Ian Rapoport Kansas City Chiefs WR [Mecole Hardman](=) was activated from the COVID-19 list Saturday, Nov. 21. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Good news for the speedy receiver here. He's cleared to play against the Raiders on Sunday night and is worth considering as a flex play for Fantasy GMs in Week 11. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 2. [DEN - QB Drew Lock to start Sunday](=) Source: 9News.com - Mike Klis Denver Broncos QB [Drew Lock](=) (ribs) will get the start Sunday, Nov. 22, against the Miami Dolphins after showing enough progress with his injured ribs in practice this week, per a source. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Ribs injuries come down to pain tolerance. Lock is tough and that is not in question. What is in question is his ability to be a quality starter in this league. Lock has looked like he's regressed from last year and may not be the long-term answer for the Broncos. He's running out of time to prove otherwise. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 3. [KC - WR Sammy Watkins ruled out of SNF](=) Source: NFL Network - Ian Rapoport Kansas City Chiefs WR [Sammy Watkins](=) (calf, hamstring) was ruled out of Week 11's game against the Las Vegas Raiders Saturday, Nov. 21. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Watkins was trending towards coming back this week but that's not the case now. He was downgraded to limited participation at both Thursday's and Friday's practices. The Chiefs are used to playing without him, so expect more looks for guys like Mecole Hardman (fresh off the COVID list) and Demarcus Robinson. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 4. [CIN - RB Joe Mixon lands on injured reserve](=) Source: NFL Network - Ian Rapoport Cincinnati Bengals RB [Joe Mixon](=) (foot) on Saturday, Nov. 21, was placed on the Reserve/Injured list with a foot injury. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Mixon's foot injury just isn't healing enough for him to come back in the near future. He missed a couple of games and a bye week due to this injury and is still not right. Mixon is out at least the next three weeks with this designation and his return in 2020 is no guarantee. That means Gio Bernard continues as the lead back for the Bengals and a RB2 for Fantasy GMs out there. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 5. [BAL - WR Dez Bryant gets the call for Week 11]( Source: ESPN.com - Field Yates Baltimore Ravens WR [Dez Bryant](=) was elevated from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday, Nov. 21. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] This is the second time that Bryant has been elevated from the practice squad. The Ravens are a run-heavy team, so don't expect much from Byrant if he does see the field in Week 11. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 6. [DEN - Denver brings up three]( Source: NFLCommunications.com Denver Broncos TE [Troy Fumagalli](=), DB Alijah Holder and LB Josh Watson were elevated from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday, Nov. 21. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Noah Fant is playing banged up but Fumagalli won't get much work...even though he could get some snaps here and there against the Dolphins on Sunday. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 7. [NO - QB Trevor Siemian signed]( Source: NOLA.com - Amie Just The New Orleans Saints signed QB Trevor Siemian to their active roster Friday, Sept. 20, according to his agent, Mike McCartney. However, he will not be available for Week 11's game versus the Atlanta Falcons. Siemian could be cleared to begin practicing next week. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] The Saints need some veteran depth while Drew Brees deals with his ribs injury. Taysom Hill is the starter and Jameis Winston is the backup while Brees is out. That means Siemian, a former starter in this league, will work as the no.3 quarterback behind those two. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 8. [NE - RB Sony Michel comes off IR](=) Source: NFL Network - Ian Rapoport New England Patriots RB [Sony Michel](=) on Saturday, Nov. 21, was activated off the Reserve/Injured list. In a corresponding move, OL Hjalte Froholdt was placed on waivers. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Michel has been back at practice for a couple of weeks. Activating him now means he could return to the field on Sunday. Damien Harris has taken over in the Patriots backfield, so Michel will likely have to push for snaps (which could be limited as he's eased back in) behind him. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 9. [IND - TE Jack Doyle clears protocol](=) Source: Colts.com Indianapolis Colts TE [Jack Doyle](=) on Saturday, Nov. 21, cleared the league's concussion protocol, and his questionable designation was lifted for Sunday's game against the Green Bay Packers. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] It looks like Doyle will be available this week for the Colts. They have a TEBC featuring Mo Alie-Cox, Trey Burton and Doyle. We'll see how the three are mixed into the rotation if in fact Doyle does return in Week 11. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 10. [TEN - OLB Jadeveon Clowney placed on IR]() Source: The Associated Press Tennessee Titans LB Jadeveon Clowney (knee) on Saturday, Nov. 21, was placed on the Reserve/Injured list with a knee injury. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] There have been reports speculating that Clowney could need meniscus surgery and his 2020 season is in doubt. Injuries continue to hold Clowney back in his pro career no matter where he's landed. He's set to hit the open market once again in 2021. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 11. [DET - WR Mohamed Sanu called up to active roster]() Source: NFL Network - Tom Pelissero Detroit Lions WR [Mohamed Sanu](=) was elevated from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday, Nov. 21, for the game Sunday, Nov. 22, against the Carolina Panthers. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] That's how desperate the Lions are at the wide receiver position. They have Kenny Golladay and Danny Amendola out this week. Sanu will work in as a reserve receiver behind Marvin Jones, Marvin Hall, and Quintez Cephus. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 12. [NE - WR Donte Moncrief added to roster for Week 11]() Source: ESPN.com - Mike Reiss New England Patriots WR Donte Moncrief was elevated from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday, Nov. 21, for the game Sunday, Nov. 22, against the Houston Texans. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] This move comes one day after N'Keal Harry was added to the injury report and labeled as questionable with a shoulder injury. We don't think Moncrief will get a lot of work if he's active for Week 11. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- That'll do it for today, Folks.
