GBP WR Randall Cobb expected to play Saturday per HC Matt LaFleur
Randall Cobb is expected to play Saturday against the San Francisco 49ers per HC Matt LaFleur. Cobb has been dealing with a core injury but has been making progress and should be able to give it a go this weekend. Cobb should slot back in as one of the top four receivers for the Packers, though he could be somewhat limited in his first game action since Week 12 against the Rams. With Cobb returning, Equanimeous St. Brown should move back down the depth chart and will not need to be considered in DFS contests.

LAR RB Buddy Howell inactive Monday
Buddy Howell will be inactive Monday against the Arizona Cardinals. Howell was expected to serve as running back depth (if active) and his absence will not be DFS relevant, even on the showdown slate. The Rams backfield should be led by Sony Michel with Cam Akers (who is still working himself back into game shape) mixing in.
As reported by: Los Angeles Rams ARI RB Jonathan Ward and WR Andy Isabella inactive Monday; RB James Conner, RB Chase Edmonds, and WR Rondale Moore all officially ACTIVE
Jonathan Ward and Andy Isabella will be inactive Monday against the Los Angeles Rams, while James Conner, Chase Edmonds, and Rondale Moore are all officially active. Ward and Isabella will not be needed as depth pieces with Conner, Edmonds, and Moore all available to play. Conner will likely return to his role splitting time with Chase Edmonds in the Arizona backfield. Edmonds should see the bulk of the passing down work with Conner handling most of the rushing and goal line opportunities. This split will limit the upside of each back and makes them more difficult to roster in DFS contests. Moore should slot back into his role as the number three or four receiver for the Cardinals and can be considered in DFS contests as a boom or bust candidate.

Josh Gordon and Darwin Thompson will both be inactive Sunday against the Pittsburgh Steelers, while Darrel Williams is officially active. The big news here is that Darrel Williams, who was questionable coming into the game, will be active and should be the lead back for the Chiefs tonight with Clyde Edwards-Helaire ruled out Friday. Williams can be considered in all formats if playing the showdown slate tonight and offers a multitude of ways to score with his goal line and receiving roles in the Kansas City offense. With Gordon inactive, Marcus Kemp will step into the WR5 role but should not be considered in DFS contests outside of a dart throw punt play.

Anthony McFarland and Cody White will be inactive Sunday against the Kansas City Chiefs. McFarland was expected to serve as running back depth if active but was not needed tonight with Najee Harris cleared to play. Harris should lead the Pittsburgh backfield with Benny Snell and Kalen Ballage available to back him up. With JuJu Smith-Schuster cleared to lay this weekend, Cody White was the odd man out. Ultimately, neither players’ absence should have much of a DFS impact.

Simi Fehoko will be inactive for Sunday’s game against the San Francisco 49ers. Fehoko was expected to serve as receiver depth if active, so his absence will have no DFS impact.
As reported by: Michael Gehlken SFO RB Trey Sermon inactive Sunday
Trey Sermon will be inactive Sunday against the Dallas Cowboys. Sermon was expected to serve as running back depth if active so his absence will not be DFS relevant. The San Francisco backfield should be led by Elijah Mitchell with Deebo Samuel, JaMycal Hasty, and Jeff Wilson available to mix in.
As reported by: San Francisco 49ers ARI RB James Conner expected to play Monday
James Conner is expected to play Monday night against the Los Angeles Rams per Jay Glazer. Conner will likely return to his role splitting time with Chase Edmonds in the Arizona backfield. Edmonds should see the bulk of the passing down work with Conner handling most of the rushing and goal line opportunities. This split will limit the upside of each back and makes them more difficult to roster in DFS contests. It will be important to ensure Conner is kept off the inactives list when it is released 90 minutes prior to kickoff tomorrow, but at this time Conner is expected to play.
As reported by: Paul Calvisi PHI RB Jason Huntley inactive Sunday
Jason Huntley will be inactive for Sunday’s game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Huntley was expected to serve as running back depth so his absence should not be DFS relevant.
As reported by: Philadelphia Eagles TBB RB Kenjon Barner and TE Codey McElroy inactive Sunday
Kenjon Barner and Codey McElroy are inactive for Sunday’s game against the Philadelphia Eagles. Barner and McElroy were both expected to serve as depth so their absences will not be DFS relevant.
As reported by: Tampa Bay Buccaneers NEP WR Kristian Wilkerson, TE Devin Asiasi and RB J.J. Taylor inactive Saturday
Kristian Wilkerson, Devin Asiasi and J.J. Taylor have been listed inactive for Saturday’s game against the Buffalo Bills. Asiasi and Taylor were expected to be inactive as they are considered depth pieces. Their absences should not have any DFS impact. Wilkerson had a shot to play as the fourth receiver for the Patriots but HC Bill Belichick will elect to go with N’Keal Harry. Harry can be considered as a desperation punt play on the showdown slate if necessary but is not expected to play a major role in the offense.

Marquez Stevenson, Matt Breida, and Tommy Sweeney have all been listed inactive Saturday against the New England Patriots. All players listed were expected to serve as depth pieces. Their absences should not be DFS relevant.

Daurice Fountain and Darwin Thompson have been elevated from the practice squad for Sunday’s game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Both Fountain and Thompson are expected to serve as depth and should not be considered in DFS contests at this time.
As reported by: Field Yates Other tagged players: Darwin Thompson ARI RB James Conner, RB Jonathan Ward, and WR Rondale Moore all listed questionable for Monday
James Conner, Jonathan Ward, and Rondale Moore have all been listed as questionable for Monday’s game against the Los Angeles Rams. All week HC Kliff Kingsbury stated that he believed these players would wind up being game-time decisions, so there listing as questionable on the injury report comes as no surprise. Conner would be expected to split time with Chase Edmonds if he is available, limiting both players upside. If Conner were to be ruled out, Chase Edmonds would see most of the running back snaps with Eno Benjamin and Jonathan Ward (if available) backing him up. Edmonds would be one of the top plays on the showdown slate as he has proven to be a capable lead back when Conner has missed time, even in a tougher matchup against the Rams defense. If available, Rondale Moore could slot back in as one of the top three receivers for the Cardinals, possibly sending Antoine Wesley down the depth chart. Moore’s potential return should also impact the target share of Christian Kirk, A.J. Green, and Zach Ertz lowering their expected production. We will likely not know anything more regarding the status of Conner and Moore until inactives are released Monday 90 minutes before kickoff.

Van Jefferson (shoulder) listed questionable for Monday’s game against the Arizona Cardinals, while Buddy Howell (hamstring) has been listed doubtful. Jefferson is expected to play Monday according to HC Sean McVay and should serve as the Rams third receiver behind Cooper Kupp and Odell Beckham Jr. Howell was expected to serve as running back depth and his likely absence will not be DFS relevant, even on the showdown slate. The Rams backfield should be led by Sony Michel with Cam Akers (who is still working himself back into game shape) mixing in.
