DET WR Trinity Benson and K Riley Patterson listed inactive Sunday
Trinity Benson and Riley Patterson have been listed inactive Sunday for the Lions’ matchup with the Cleveland Browns. With Benson out, Khaderal Hodge should step into the wide receiver three rol. This should also give a small boost to all 0ther Carolina pass-catchers as they could be in line for more targets. With Patterson inactive, newly signed Aldrick Rosas will handle the kicking duties.

NYJ RB La'Mical Perine listed inactive Sunday
La’Mical Perine has been listed inactive for Sunday’s game against the Miami Dolphins. Perine’s role as the third running back in the Jets backfield has been reclaimed by Tevin Coleman though he still doesn’t figure to be DFS relevant.
As reported by: New York Jets HOU RB Royce Freeman, WR Davion Davis, and TE Jordan Akins listed inactive Sunday
Royce Freeman, Davion Davis, and Jordan Akins have all been listed inactive Sunday for the Texans matchup with the Miami Dolphins. Freeman was expected to serve as running back depth in a crowded backfield so his absence should not be DFS relevant. Davion Davis was expected to serve as receiver depth and his absence should not be DFS relevant. Akins was expected to split time at tight end, his absence will give Brevin Jordan and the returning Pharaoh Brown more opportunities though neither is likely to be DFS relevant.

Jake Kumerow has been listed inactive for Sunday’s game against the Indianapolis Colts. Kumerow was expected to serve as receiver depth and his absence should not be DFS relevant.
As reported by: Joe Buscaglia JAC RB Devine Ozigbo and TE Jacob Hollister listed inactive Sunday
Devine Ozigbo and Jacob Hollister have been listed inactive Sunday for the Jaguars matchup with the San Francisco 49ers. Ozigbo was expected to serve as running back depth if James Robinson was unable to play but with Robinson active Ozigbo won’t be needed. Hollister was expected to serve as tight end depth but his absence should not be DFS relevant.
As reported by: Jacksonville Jaguars Other tagged players: Jacob Hollister SFO RB Elijah Mitchell listed inactive Sunday
As expected, Elijah Mitchell has been listed inactive for Sunday’s game against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Jeff Wilson will be the next man up and should see the bulk of the carries with Trey Sermon as his main backup and receiver Deebo Samuel also mixing in. Originally it seemed as though Mitchell would be able to tough it out but it seems like Coach Shanahan has thought better of the idea of risking his rookie’s long term health. Wilson can be considered in most formats and should be considered one of the best plays on the slate.
As reported by: Matt Barrows CHI WR Allen Robinson, RB Damien Williams, and TE Jesper Horsted listed inactive Sunday
As expected, Allen Robinson and Damien Williams have been listed inactive for Sunday’s game against the Baltimore Ravens. With Robinson unable to suit up, Darnell Mooney will play an even bigger role in the passing game with Marquise Goodwin possibly filling in for Robinson opposite Mooney. Damiere Byrd could also find himself in a bigger role as well. Williams is dealing with a calf injury and will be unable to suit up likely leading to Ryan Nall taking his spot as the third running back for the bears behind David Montgomery and Khalil Herbert. Nall doesn’t project to be DFS relevant at this time. Jesper Horsted was also listed inactive for the Bears and was projected to be the fourth tight end. His absence will not be DFS relevant.
As reported by: Chicago Bears Other tagged players: Damien Williams, Jesper Horsted PHI RB Kenneth Gainwell listed inactive Sunday
As speculated, Kenneth Gainwell has been listed inactive Sunday for the Eagles matchup with the New Orleans Saints. Gainwell is the odd man out now that Miles Sanders is back. Coach Sirianni stated that he wants to focus on the run game this week and will use Sanders, Jordan Howard, and Boston Scott. Sanders should handle the bulk of the work but both Howard and Scott will be called upon as well.
As reported by: Philadelphia Eagles WAS WR Curtis Samuel officially listed inactive Sunday
Curtis Samuel has officially been listed inactive Sunday when the Football Team is set to take on the Carolina Panthers. With Samuel officially ruled out the receiving corps will be led by Terry McLaurin, DeAndre Carter, and Adam Humphries. McLaurin would remain the top play here and would be expected to see a high volume of targets in a heavy passing attack for Washington, though it would still be a very tough matchup against the Carolina defense.
As reported by: Matthew Paras BAL QB Lamar Jackson out Sunday per Ian Rapoport
Lamar Jackson is officially out Sunday per Ian Rapoport, Tyler Huntley will draw the start against the Chicago Bears. With Huntley starting, all Ravens pass-catchers will see a drop in their expected production, though the Baltimore running backs could see an uptick in usage as Coach Harbaugh might elect to pound the ball on the ground. Huntley can be considered in all formats due to his low price of $4100 on DK but should be rostered with caution as he could have a wide range of outcomes.
As reported by: Ian Rapoport JAC RB James Robinson officially active Sunday per Adam Schefter
As expected, James Robinson is officially active for Sunday’s game against the San Francisco 49ers per Adam Schefter. Robinson is expected to lead the Jaguars backfield with Carlos Hyde as his primary backup. This isn’t the best matchup for Robinson as the Jaguars could find themselves in an early hole and abandon the run game, so it is probably best to avoid him in cash games. Robinson does have the ability to take over a game however, and can be considered in large field GPPs as a contrarian option.
As reported by: Adam Schefter DET QB Jared Goff ruled out Sunday
Jared Goff has been ruled out for Sunday’s game against the Cleveland Browns. Tim Boyle will draw the start this weekend and because of this the already poor Lions offense will be even less efficient. At this point, the only players that are DFS relevant are D’Andre Swift and T.J. Hockenson who will both have their expected production lowered with Goff unable to suit up. It will probably be best to avoid any and all Detroit Lions this week all things considered.
As reported by: Ian Rapoport WAS WR Curtis Samuel has "small chance" to play Sunday
Curtis Samuel has “small chance” to play Sunday against the Carolina Panthers according to Ian Rapoport. It was already reported that even if Samuel does suit up today he would be on a tight snap count so the Football Team might just elect to give Samuel another week of rest. If Samuel were to be officially ruled out the receiving corps will be led by Terry McLaurin, DeAndre Carter, and Adam Humphries. McLaurin would remain the top play here and would be expected to see a high volume of targets in a heavy passing attack for Washington, though it would still be a very tough matchup against the Carolina defense.
As reported by: Ian Rapoport JAC RB James Robinson expected to play Sunday
James Robinson is expected to play Sunday against the San Francisco 49ers. Robinson is still nursing a heel injury that he was able to play through last week and is now also dealing with a knee injury. It seems as though Robinson is trending in the right direction to play this weekend as he only missed Wednesday’s practice and it is now being reported that he should play. However, if he were to be ruled out Carlos Hyde would lead the backfield with Dare Ogunbowale and Devine Ozigbo available to back him up. It would be best to check Robinson’s status when inactives are released 90 minutes prior to kickoff but all signs point to him being available today.
As reported by: Ian Rapoport DET RB Jamaal Williams expected to play Sunday
Jamaal Williams is expected to play Sunday against the Cleveland Browns. Williams is expected to return to his role seeing early down work and supplementing D’Andre Swift in the Lions backfield. It will likely be a tough matchup today for the Lions though, as Jared Goff has been listed doubtful and Tim Boyle is set to make his first career start. It is best to look elsewhere for players to roster in DFS contests this week.
