Kareem Hunt, Nick Chubb, and D'Ernest Johnson are not expected to play
Hunt will miss Monday night’s meeting with the Steelers. His absence should allow Nick Chubb to continue to control the backfield, but it is worth noting that the Browns aren’t playing for a shot at the postseason at this point, so it’s possible they don’t run their starters into the ground. If the backups see a little extra burn, D’Earnest Johnson would be the beneficiary.

TE Tyler Conklin officially active for Sunday; RB Wayne Gallman inactive
As expected, Tyler Conklin is officially active for Sunday night’s game against the Green Bay Packers, while Wayne Gallman has been listed inactive. Conklin seemed to be trending in the right direction the entire week and will be able to suit up tonight. He should be in line to see a good amount of targets with Adam Thielen out for the rest of the year. Conklin can be considered on the showdown slate and has the potential to catch a touchdown or two. Gallman wasn’t expected to play a major role in the Minnesota backfield, as Dalvin Cook should remain the lead back with Alexander Mattison available to back him up. Cook, as always, needs to be considered as he can break any showdown slate.

NOS RB Mark Ingram officially inactive Sunday
As expected, Mark Ingram has officially been listed inactive for Sunday’s game against the Carolina Panthers. With Ingram out, Tony Jones Jr. should backup Alvin Kamara with Dwayne Washington also available in the New Orleans backfield. Alvin Kamara will likely see a few more carries and will become a slightly better play while both Jones Jr. and Washington are not expected to see enough work to be considered in DFS contests.
As reported by: Amie Just DET QB Jared Goff officially inactive Sunday
As expected, Jared Goff is officially inactive for Sunday’s game against the Seattle Seahawks. Goff has been cleared from the COVID protocols earlier in the week but is still dealing with a knee injury and will be unable to suit up.With Goff out, Tim Boyle will once again draw the start. Boyle had a much better showing last week than he did in his first game but would still be considered a step down from Goff. All pass-catchers will take a hit in expected production and Boyle himself should not be considered in DFS contests.
As reported by: Detroit Lions SEA RB Alex Collins listed inactive Sunday
Alex Collins has been listed inactive for Sunday’s game against the Detroit Lions. Collins wasn’t expected to play a major role in the Seattle backfield if active, he is continuing to work back from an injury and will remain out today. In his absence Rashaad Penny will continue to lead the backfield with both Travis Homer and DeeJay Dallas available to back him up. Penny can be considered in DFS contests as he has showed the potential to have massive games and draws a good matchup against the Detroit defense.
As reported by: Seattle Seahawks ARI RB James Conner, WR Rondale Moore, and TE Demetrius Harris all INACTIVE Sunday
James Conner, Rondale Moore, and Demetrius Harris all listed inactive for Sunday’s game against the Dallas Cowboys. With Conner out, Chase Edmonds will lead the Arizona backfield and can be considered as one of the top plays on the slate. With Moore out, Christian Kirk, A.J. Green and Antione Wesley should all see a few more targets increasing their value. With Harris out,Darrell Daniels will be the primary backup for Zach Ertz at tight end. Ertz should also benefit from Moore’s absence and becomes a better play.
As reported by: Arizona Cardinals Other tagged players: Rondale Moore, Demetrius Harris SFO QB Jimmy Garoppolo and TE Tanner Hudson listed inactive Sunday
As expected, Jimmy Garoppolo and Tanner Hudson have been listed inactive for Sunday’s game against the Houston Texans. With Garoppolo out, Trey Lance will draw the start and would need to be considered in DFS contests due to the safe floor he provides with his rushing ability. Hudson was expected to serve as tight end depth and his absence should not be DFS relevant.
As reported by: San Francisco 49ers Other tagged players: Tanner Hudson DEN WR Rico Gafford listed inactive Sunday
Rico Gafford has been listed inactive for Sunday’s game against the Los Angeles Chargers. Gafford was an insurance policy if Courtland Sutton was unable to play. With Sutton available, there was no need for Gafford to be active. His absence should not be DFS relevant.
As reported by: Denver Broncos MIA RB Salvon Ahmed and TE Hunter Long inactive Sunday
Salvon Ahmed and Hunter Long have both been listed inactive for Sunday’s game against the Tennessee Titans. Ahmed was not expected to play a major role in the Miami offense this weekend so his absence should not be DFS relevant. Duke Johnson, Myles Gaskin, and Phillip Lindsay will all likely have role in the backfield but it has become very difficult to predict who will have the hot hand. It is best to avoid this situation if possible in DFS contests. With Long out, Durham Smyth and Adam Shaheen should back up Mike Gesicki at the tight end position.
As reported by: Daniel Oyefusi Other tagged players: Hunter Long NYJ WR Jamison Crowder and RB La'Mical Perine inactive Sunday
As expected, Jamison Crowder and La’Mical Perine are inactive for Sunday’s matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The loss of Crowder will be a big hit to the New York offense that is already struggling as it is. Braxton Berrios and Keelan Cole will become the top receivers and could be considered as value options this weekend, though it is tough to trust any member of the Jets offense at this point. With Tevin Coleman also out, the Jets backfield will be led by Michael Carter with Ty Johnson and Austin Walter available to back him up. Carter can be considered as an option strictly based on expected volume.
As reported by: New York Jets Other tagged players: La'Mical Perine WAS WR Curtis Samuel inactive Sunday
Curtis Samuel has been listed inactive for Sunday’s game against the Philadelphia Eagles. With Samuel inactive, Adam Humphries and DeAndre Carter could play a bigger role in the Washington passing game behind Terry McLaurin. It remains difficult to roster any member of the Washington offense with Antonio Gibson out and Darius Slay likely covering Terry McLaurin.
As reported by: Washington Football Team NEP WR N'Keal Harry inactive Sunday
In a surprise move, N’Keal Harry has been a healthy scratch for Sunday’s game against the Jacksonville Jaguars. With Harry inactive, Kristian Wilkerson will play a larger role in the passing game behind Jakobi Meyers and Kendrick Bourne. It is also worth noting that the tight ends, Hunter Henry and Jonnu Smith, could see more work as well.
As reported by: New England Patriots CHI QB Justin Fields and TE J.P. Holtz inactive Sunday
As expected, Justin Fields and J.P. Holtz are inactive for Sunday’s game against the New York Giants. Justin Fields has been working his way back from an injury and the Bears will continue to play it safe and not rush him back. With Dalton set to lead the team, all pass-catchers will see a slight increase in expected production due to Dalton being a more traditional quarterback than Fields. With Holtz out, the Bears will use Cole Kmet, Jimmy Graham, and Jesse James as their tight ends, with Kmet expected to see the bulk of the snaps and targets.
As reported by: Chicago Bears Other tagged players: J.P. Holtz BAL QB Lamar Jackson, WR James Proche, and WR Miles Boykin inactive Sunday
Lamar Jackson, James Proche, and Miles Boykin are all listed inactive for Sunday’s matchup against the Los Angeles Rams. With Huntley at quarterback pass-catchers should see a slight increase in expected volume due to Huntley not rushing as much as Jackson (though he will still run). Huntley can be considered in most formats after performing well on multiple occasions filling in for Jackson, though this is a tough matchup against the Los Angeles defense. With Proche and Boykin inactive, Devin Duvernay and Sammy Watkins will play behind Marquise Brown and Rashod Bateman in the receiving corps for the Ravens.
As reported by: Baltimore Ravens Other tagged players: James Proche, Miles Boykin BUF WR Emmanuel Sanders, RB Matt Breida, and TE Tommy Sweeney are inactive Sunday
Emmanuel Sanders, Matt Breida, and Tommy Sweeney are inactive Sunday ahead of the Bills matchup against the Atlanta Falcons. With Sanders out, Gabriel Davis and Cole Beasley should play an increased role in the passing game behind Stefon Diggs. Davis and Beasley can both be considered as part of a Bills stack. With Breida inactive, the backfield will be led by Devin Singletary with Zack Moss available to back him up. Singletary has slowly gained the upper hand in the time split and can be considered in DFS contests, especially in a good matchup where Buffalo should be playing with the lead.
