Demetrius Harris is inactive Sunday against the Seattle Seahawks. Harris was expected to back up Zach Ertz but this role will now be played by Darrell Daniels. Ultimately, this should have no DFS impact.

BUF WR Emmanuel Sanders and TE Tommy Sweeney inactive Sunday
Emmanuel Sanders and Tommy Sweeney are inactive Sunday against the New York Jets. Sanders is continuing to deal with a knee injury that has kept him out each of the last two games. In his absence, Gabriel Davis and Cole Beasley are expected to play larger roles with Davis being the biggest beneficiary. Davis will be wide receiver two behind Stefon Diggs and can be considered in most formats in an easier matchup against the New York secondary. Sweeney was expected to back up Dawson Knox at tight end but this role will now be played by Reggie Gilliam.

Darren Waller and Josh Jacobs will play Sunday night against the Los Angeles Chargers despite being listed as questionable earlier in the week. Waller should instantly return to his role as one of the top options in the Las Vegas passing attack and can be considered on the showdown slate. Jacobs will also need to be considered as he is set to lead the backfield in a must win game for the Raiders.

Dezmon Patmon is inactive Sunday against the Jacksonville Jaguars. With the return of Parris Campbell, Patmon was expected to serve as receiver depth for the Colts. His absence should not be DFS relevant.

Dez Fitzpatrick is inactive Sunday against the Houston Texans. Fitzpatrick was expected to serve as receiver depth and his absence should not be DFS relevant.
As reported by: John Glennon HOU WR Chris Conley and TE Jordan Akins inactive Sunday
Chris Conley and Jordan Akins are inactive Sunday against the Tennessee Titans. With Conley inactive, Danny Amendola and Chris Moore could play a larger role in the passing attach for the Texans. Neither is expected to see enough work to be considered in DFS contests though. Brandin Cooks and Brevin Jordan remain the lone Texans players that are DFS relevant.

As reported by: Courtney Cronin DET WR Trinity Benson inactive Sunday
Trinity Benson is inactive Sunday against the Green Bay Packers. Benson was expected to serve as receiver depth and his absence should not be DFS relevant.
As reported by: Detroit Lions CLE RB Kareem Hunt inactive Sunday
Kareem Hunt is inactive Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals. The Browns will at least run with their starters (minus Baker Mayfield) for a while but could turn it over to their reserves at some point making D’Ernest Johnson an intriguing option behind Nick Chubb. He is at least worth consideration in tournaments.
As reported by: Jake Trotter GBP RB Aaron Jones inactive Sunday
Aaron Jones is inactive Sunday against the Detroit Lions. The Packers will rest their starters at some point during this game but it remains to be seen exactly when. Both AJ Dillon and Patrick Taylor should see work with Taylor worth consideration as a value play. This could still be a tad risky with no definitive snap count for starters mentioned.
As reported by: Green Bay Packers JAC WR Tavon Austin inactive Sunday
Tavon Austin is inactive Sunday against the Indianapolis Colts. With Austin out, Laquon Treadwell and Laviska Shenault could see a few more targets and become better plays. The Jaguars have nothing to play for but will likely run with most of their starters for development purposes. Jones, Treadwell, and Shenault can be considered in DFS contests.
As reported by: Jacksonville Jaguars CIN WR Tee Higgins and K Evan McPherson inactive Sunday
Tee Higgins and Evan McPherson listed inactive Sunday against the Cleveland Browns. The Bengals will be running mostly reserve players so their is no need for Higgins to be active. With McPherson inactive Elliott Fry will handle the kicking duties.
As reported by: Marisa Contipelli Other tagged players: Evan McPherson CLE RB D'Ernest Johnson available to play Sunday after clearing COVID protocols
CLE RB D’Ernest Johnson available to play Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals after clearing COVID protocols. Johnson is expected to serve as the third running back behind Nick Chibb and Kareem Hunt (questionable). As of now, Johnson is not expected to see enough work to be considered in DFS contests but could be forced into a larger role if Hunt is forced to miss or if the Browns decide to limit Nick Chubb in a meaningless game. This does not look to be the case however at this time as HC Kevin Stefanski said earlier in the week that all available players will play.
As reported by: Scott Petrak LAR RB Cam Akers expected to play Sunday in limited role
Cam Akers is expected to make his season debut Sunday against the San Francisco 49ers. Akers was able to practice in full today and HC Sean McVay seemed very impressed with his progress. It is likely that Akers splits snap this week with Sony Michel as he works his way back into game shape. Due to the split both backs will see their upsides limited, sapping their value in DFS contests.
