We’re down to just a few weeks left until the fantasy football playoffs begin. Week 11 of the NFL season includes four teams on bye weeks: the Arizona Cardinals, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Carolina Panthers and New York Giants.

On top of bye weeks, multiple key players are potentially out of action with injury this week. Here’s the latest injury status for star players this week:

Fantasy football injury report: Week 11

RB Brian Robinson Jr., Washington Commanders: Probable (hamstring)

Robinson Jr. was limited in practice both Monday and Tuesday but was a full participant on Wednesday. He’s set to start on “Thursday Night Football.”

WR DeVonta Smith, Philadelphia Eagles: Probable (hamstring)

Smith did not practice Monday but returned in a limited fashion on Tuesday and Wednesday. He may see limited snaps against the Commanders on Thursday night.

TE Dallas Goedert, Philadelphia Eagles: Probable (ankle)

Goedert returned from injury in Week 10 with two catches for 25 yards and a touchdown. Like Smith, he did not practice Monday and was limited on Tuesday but was a full participant on Wednesday and should be a full-go for Thursday night.

K Austin Seibert, Washington Commanders: Questionable (hip)

Seibert did not practice on Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday. The Commanders started Zane Gonzalez at kicker last week, and he’s still on the practice squad in case Seibert is unable to play. To be safe, having another kicker on your roster may be best.

RB Najee Harris, Pittsburgh Steelers: Questionable (ankle)

Harris did not practice on Wednesday due to the injury and already has low fantasy appeal this week, considering he’s facing the Ravens’ top-ranked run defense.

RB Tank Bigsby, Jacksonville Jaguars: Questionable (ankle)

Bigsby did not practice Wednesday or Thursday and may miss Sunday’s game against a tough Lions run defense.

QB Trevor Lawrence, Jacksonville Jaguars: Questionable (shoulder)

Lawrence missed his first game of the season in Week 10 and has not practiced this week. The team announced that Mac Jones would start in his place again against the Lions.

WR Amari Cooper, Buffalo Bills: Questionable (wrist)

Cooper was limited in practice Wednesday with the wrist injury but should be good to go for Sunday’s game against the Chiefs.

WR Keon Coleman, Buffalo Bills: Questionable (wrist)

Coleman did not practice Wednesday and was back on the field in a limited role on Thursday.

RB Aaron Jones, Minnesota Vikings: Questionable (ribs)

Jones was limited in practice on Wednesday but is not expected to miss Sunday’s game against the Titans.

RB Isiah Pacheco, Kansas City Chiefs: Questionable (ankle)

Pacheco’s practice window opened after he missed the last eight weeks with a leg injury. He was limited in practice on Wednesday and coach Andy Reid said he is unlikely to play against Buffalo on Sunday.

TE Sam LaPorta, Detroit Lions: Questionable (shoulder)

LaPorta did not practice on Wednesday or Thursday. His Friday status will ultimately decide his availability, but his outlook is not good.

WR Tee Higgins, Cincinnati Bengals: Questionable (quadricep)

Higgins practiced in a limited fashion Wednesday and Thursday but looks poised to play against the Chargers this week.

RB Gus Edwards, Los Angeles Chargers: Questionable (ankle)

Edwards was limited in practice on Wednesday but is expected to play Sunday night against the Bengals.

TE George Kittle, San Francisco 49ers: Questionable (hamstring)

Kittle did not practice Wednesday but is expected to start this week against the Seahawks.

WR DK Metcalf, Seattle Seahawks: Questionable (knee)

Metcalf was a full-go in practice on Wednesday and looks poised to return to the lineup for the first time since Week 7.

WR Nico Collins, Houston Texans: Questionable (hamstring)

Collins and the Texans will get an extra day of rest before another prime time matchup in Week 11, this time against the Cowboys. He looks good to go to for the first time since Week 5.

TE Dalton Kincaid, Buffalo Bills: Questionable (knee)

Kincaid did not practice on Wednesday due to his knee injury, putting him in doubt for Sunday’s game against Kansas City. His status on Friday will likely be the determining factor.
