Philadelphia Eagles running back Ryan Mathews left the field in the third quarter of Sunday's game against the Miami Dolphins. He was diagnosed with a concussion and didn't return. His status for Week 11 is now in question.
Ryan Mathews injury update: Eagles RB dealing with concussion, fantasy owners wait for Week 11 outlook
Ryan Mathews is questionable for Week 11. We take a look at the fantasy implications.

Mathews hasn't been racking up much yardage lately, but he's found the end zone four out of the last five weeks. If Mathews can't suit up for Sunday's game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, DeMarco Murray should see a boost in his snap count along with running back Darren Sproles.
Fantasy impact: Mathews scored a touchdown in each of the last three weeks for fantasy owners. His concussion will mean we’ll have to consider his status as day-to-day, as is the case with head injuries. If Mathews can’t take the field, Murray owners will have a bit more confidence with his red zone opportunities. In the meantime, Sproles makes for a much more intriguing RB3 if Mathews misses time, especially in PPR leagues.
