WAS RB Antonio Gibson officially ACTIVE; WR Curtis Samuel, WR Antonio Gandy-Golden, and K Brian Johnson listed inactive, K Joey Slye will handle kicking duties
As expected Antonio Gibson is officially active for Sunday night’s game against the Dallas Cowboys, while Curtis Samuel, Antonio Gandy-Golden, and Brian Johnson have all been listed inactive. Gibson is dealing with a toe injury but will give it a go in a divisional matchup against the Cowboys. Gibson should continue to lead the backfield but could be somewhat limited leading to more opportunities for Jaret Patterson, Jonathan Williams, and Wendell Smallwood, who will all be available. Patterson and Williams would be expected to mix in during the early downs while Smallwood would be expected to see more work in the passing game. With Samuel ruled out, Terry McLaurin will remain the top pass-catching option with DeAndre Carter and Adam Humphries expected to play larger roles. Brian Johnson is inactive, meaning Joey Slye will handle the kicking duties after being activated off IR yesterday.

LVR TE Darren Waller officially listed inactive Sunday
As expected, Darren Waller has officially been listed as inactive for Sunday’s game against the Denver Broncos. With Waller officially ruled out, Foster Moreau will be the primary tight end but has been largely unimpressive the past few weeks. The main benefactors have actually been the wide receivers and specifically Hunter Renfrow (outside of last game). Moreau can be considered as a risky value option and Renfrow should remain a consideration in most formats.
As reported by: Las Vegas Raiders SEA RB Alex Collins inactive Sunday
Alex Collins has been listed inactive for Sunday’s game against the Chicago Bears. Collins is a healthy scratch, meaning the Seattle backfield will be led by Rashad Penny with Travis Homer and DeeJay Dallas available to back him up. Penny should see most of the early down work with both Homer and Dallas playing bigger roles in the passing game. Penny is the back most likely to be the workhorse but the Seattle backfield depth chart seems to change weekly, so roster a member at your own risk.
As reported by: Seattle Seahawks CHI QB Justin Fields officially inactive Sunday
As expected, Justin Fields is officially inactive for Sunday’s game against the Seattle Seahawks. Nick Foles was already announced as the starter for the Bears but there remained some hope that Fields could remain active in case of emergency. With Fields inactive the Bears backup quarterback will be Ryan Willis. With Foles as the starter, all Chicago pass-catchers should see a slight increase in expected production as Foles is a more traditional quarterback.
As reported by: Brad Biggs LVR WR Bryan Edwards placed on COVID list; WR Dillon Stoner elevated from practice squad
Bryan Edwards has been placed on the COVID list ahead of Sunday’s game against the Denver Broncos, Dillon Stoner has been elevated from the practice squad to replace him. With Edwards out, all Raidrs receivers will see a slight boost in expected production, strengthening the value that Hunter Renfrow already offered. Stoner is expected to serve as receiver depth and should not be considered DFS relevant.
As reported by: Paul Gutierrez Other tagged players: Dillon Stoner ATL WR Tajee Sharpe listed inactive Sunday
Tajae Sharpe listed inactive for Sunday’s game against the Detroit Lions. With Sharpe forced to miss this weekend, Christian Blake and Frank Darby could be forced to play a more prominent role in the offense behind Russell Gage and Olamide Zaccheaus. Neither Blake or Darby will figure to be DFS relevant however.
As reported by: Atlanta Falcons LAR RB Cam Akers listed inactive Sunday
Cam Akers has been listed inactive for Sunday’s game against the Minnesota Vikings. The plan was or Akers to be inactive and he was activated this week for contractual reasons. The Los Angeles backfield should be led by Sony Michel and Darrell Henderson with Jake Funk and Buddy Howell available to back them up.

Ihmir Smith-Marsette has been listed inactive for Sunday’s contest with the Los Angeles Rams. Smith-Marsette was not needed to provide depth with Adam Thielen available to play.

Ryquell Armstead has been listed inactive for Sunday’s game against the New York Jets. Armstead was expected to serve as running back depth so his absence should not be DFS relevant.
As reported by: Mia O'Brien NYJ RB Austin Walter, RB La'Mical Perine, and WR Jamison Crowder listed inactive Sunday
Austin Walter, La’Mical Perine, and Jamison Crowder have all been listed inactive for Sunday’s game against the Jacksonville Jaguars. With Walter and Perine inactive, Tevin Coleman and Ty Johnson will be available to backup Michael Carter, who should see the bulk of the work. 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.
As reported by: New York Jets Other tagged players: La'Mical Perine, Jamison Crowder BAL WR Devin Duvernay and FB Patrick Ricard listed inactive Sunday
Devin Duvernay and Patrick Ricard have been listed inactive for Sunday’s game against the Cincinnati Bengals. Sammy Watkins should return to his role as the third receiver for the Ravens, so the loss of Duvernay shouldn’t be a big impact. With Ricard out, the Ravens will likely forego the fullback position.
As reported by: Baltimore Ravens Other tagged players: Patrick Ricard BUF RB Matt Breida listed inactive Sunday
Matt Breida has been listed inactive for Sunday’s game against the New England Patriots. With Breida inactive, Devin Singletary and Zack Moss will man the backfield for the Bills. Singletary should be the lead back and has seen an increased workload the last few weeks with Moss a healthy scratch. Singletary draws a tough matchup this week in a game against the New England defense that was able to shut him down a few weeks ago.
As reported by: Doug Kyed HOU WR Danny Amendola and RB David Johnson listed inactive for Sunday
Danny Amendola and David Johnson have been listed inactive for Sunday’s game against the Los Angeles Chargers. With Amendola out, Chris Moore and Phillip Dorsett could play a larger role in the Houston offense but not a large enough role to be considered in DFS contests. With Johnson out, Rex Burkhead will lead the backfield with Royce Freeman and Jaylen Samuels available to back him up. The Chargers have a poor run defense but the Texans are likely to be playing from too far behind to take advantage of this. Still, Burkhead could be considered strictly from an expected volume standpoint and has the chance to fall into the endzone.
As reported by: Drew Dougherty Other tagged players: David Johnson DET RB D'Andre Swift listed inactive Sunday
D’Andre Swift has been listed inactive for Sunday’s game against the Atlanta Falcons. With Swift out, Jamaal Williams should lead the Detroit backfield with Craig Reynolds and Godwin Igwebuike available to back him up. Reynolds has been playing an increasing role so expect him to split carries with Williams. Williams can be considered as a value option but in the offense he is in combined with his likely time share, his upside is limited.
As reported by: Detroit Lions CIN WR Trenton Irwin and RB Trayveon WIlliams listed inactive Sunday
Trenton Irwin and Trayveon Williams have been listed inactive for Sunday’s game against the Baltimore Ravens. Both Irwin and Williams were expected to serve as depth pieces so there absences should not be DFS relevant.
