DFS Alerts
TE George Kittle (groin) officially questionable for Week 1.
It is certainly the shadier side of questionable after he did not practice all week. Plenty of reporting has transpired skeptical of his availability, and the questionable designation does not ease those concerns. We’re not optimistic on this one as we plan for the weekend, but will monitor for any additional information.
Zach Ertz (calf) listed questionable for Week 1.

Rondale Moore (hamstring) listed out for Week 1.
As reported by: Johnny VenerableTBB WR Chris Godwin (knee) and WR Russell Gage (hamstring) listed questionable for Week 1.
This is high impact news for the Sunday Night showdown, and we will need to be watching closely for their status. Without Godwin and/or Gage, Julio Jones could have a widely variant degree of playing time/upside. As it stands, Mike Evans remains a solid option among the group in a game where the passing games on both sides figure to be on display.
Other tagged players: Russell GageWAS TE Logan Thomas and TE Cole Turner are listed questionable for Week 1.
The impacts are not currently severe for DFS. The Commanders TE group is more of a long shot YOLO in deep GPPs than anything you would consider in an optimal build.
Other tagged players: Cole TurnerLance McCutcheon inactive for TNF
Sadly, the Lance McCutcheon hype will have to stay on hold for now. He was generating a little buzz as a single-game dart throw, so make sure to remove him if he’s rostered anywhere.
Khalil Shakir, Quintin Morris both inactive for Buffalo on Thursday
Both Shakir and Morris will sit on Thursday night, which does not impact much outside of Showdown formats.
SF TE George Kittle (groin) is not practicing Thursday.
Reports are extremely bearish on his outlook, and we’re leaning towards removing him from projections. Another DNP tomorrow would make it a near lock that Kittle misses Week 1.
SEA RB Kenneth Walker went through today's walk-through. Status for Monday still to be determined.
There are conflicting reports on his status, with some saying it is unlikely he will go. Still, we’re awaiting official status and designation on his situation.
PIT WR Diontae Johnson (shoulder/ "cramps") limited on Thursday.
This does not appear to be a setback on the shoulder issue, and we’re still expecting Johnson to suit up pending Friday’s practice update.
Chris Godwin (knee) did not practice Thursday
Godwin was a full participant Wednesday, so this is a little worrisome. His status on Friday should give us a clearer indication of what’s up here.
NEP WR Jakobi Meyers (knee) and RB Ty Montgomery (knee) remain limited participants Thursday.
It’s the Patriots, so this could mean something… or absolutely nothing. We can wager a better guess upon seeing their status on Friday.
LAC TE Donald Parham (hamstring) DNP Thursday.
It’s the second straight day he has been off to the side, and he’s trending in the wrong direction for Sunday.
GBP WR Allen Lazard (ankle) DNP Thursday.
The Packers have stated he needs to practice in order to prove he will be able to play Sunday, and we’ll be watching his status closely on Friday. Christian Watson and Romeo Doubs could be asked to play bigger roles than would normally be considered ideal in their first pro games.
Rondale Moore injures hamstring at Thursday's practice; will have an MRI to determine severity
This doesn’t sound good. We’ll see what the MRI results turn up, but at this point it seems more likely than not that Moore sits on Sunday. With DeAndre Hopkins suspended, Hollywood Brown will be relied upon even more heavily than anticipated.
