New York Jets quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick is expected to ramp up his activity during Thursday's practice, according to Brian Costello of the New York Post.

Fitzpatrick was officially listed as a non-participant for Wednesday’s session, although the veteran quarterback was seen throwing off to the side and doing individual work.
The Jets' QB underwent surgery on Friday to repair ligaments in his left hand, so an ease into action is to be expected. The team expects to have Fitzpatrick under center for Week 11 against the Houston Texans, per Costello's report.
Fantasy impact: There’s not yet any reason for fantasy owners to be concerned about Fitzpatrick’s status, as it’s reasonable to expect a team to give its quarterback some rest in wake of surgery.
The Houston Texans have not allowed a touchdown in 10 quarters, which is impressive against any opponent, but shutting down the Cincinnati Bengals is a feat in and of itself.
Fitzpatrick remains a high-end QB2 for Week 11, and if he starts, the high values of Brandon Marshall and Eric Decker will remain that way.
