Ezekiel Elliott injury update, Week 11 fantasy outlook
Elliott (knee) missed his second straight game this past Sunday while dealing with an MCL sprain and deep thigh bruise suffered back in Week 7. Elliott was a limited participant last week in practice but wasn't ready to test his ailments at full speed.
Tony Pollard once again assumed the lead running back role in Dallas' offense and rushed for 115 yards and a TD on 22 carries along with securing three receptions for 13 yards. If Elliott is able to return to practice as a full participant, he has a good chance to suit up this Sunday against the 8-1 Vikings. If he plays, which seems likely, he has low-end RB2/flex appeal because of his scoring upside, as he should remain in an equal timeshare with Pollard. Should he miss his third-straight game, Pollard remains an RB1 in all formats.

Gus Edwards injury update, Week 11 fantasy outlook
Edwards (hamstring), is in line to make his return to action this Sunday against the Panthers. Last week coach John Harbaugh said, "Gus will be back next game, that's the plan." Edwards originally suffered his injury back in Week 8 against Tampa Bay.
Backup Kenyan Drake has been a top-15 RB in PPR formats in the Ravens' past two games and figures to split the workload with Edwards. Edwards is a better play in standard formats due to his lack of usage in the passing game, but still profiles as a solid RB2 in a juicy matchup against a Panthers defense allowing the fifth-most fantasy points per game (FPPG) to RBs (24.1).

Damien Harris injury update, Week 11 fantasy outlook
Harris (illness) missed the Patriots' most recent contest in Week 9 against the Colts but will almost certainly be ready in Week 11 against the Jets.
Harris dealt with a hamstring injury a few weeks ago but was healthy enough to play in New England's Week 8 tilt against the Jets. With Rhamondre Stevenson emerging as the lead back, Harris is a risky fantasy play against a Jets defense that's held their own against RBs. At this point, Harris is a touchdown-dependent play with little usage in the passing game.
