LAC RB Justin Jackson listed doubtful for Sunday; WR Keenan Allen questionable
Justin Jackson has been listed doubtful for Sunday’s game against the Minnesota Vikings, while Keenan Allen has been listed questionable but is fully expected to play. Jackson was expected to serve as the backup to Austin Ekeler though he will likely not be available to suit up. If Jackson is forced to miss this weekend, Larry Rountree and Josh Kelley would split backup duties though neither would likely be very DFS relevant. The Chargers running back to target remains Austin Ekeler as he is one of the top receiving backs in the league and draws a good matchup against the Vikings defense.

DET RB Jamaal Williams and K Austin Seibert listed out for Sunday
Jamaal Williams and Austin Siebert have been listed out for Sunday’s game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Williams was unable to suit up last game and is still not feeling right after the bye week, D’Andre Swift should play an even larger role than usual with Jermar Jefferson available to back him up. D’Andre Swiftt should be considered due to expected volume and is seemingly matchup proof even against a tough Pittsburgh defense due to his receiving ability. With Seibert ruled out, Ryan Santoso should handle the kicking duties for the Detroit Lions.
As reported by: Detroit Lions Other tagged players: Austin Seibert PIT WR Chase Claypool listed out for Sunday
As expected, Chase Claypool has been listed out for Sunday’s game against the Detroit Lions. Diontae Johnson should lead the Steelers receiving corps with James Washington and Ray-Ray McCloud also slated to see more snaps and can be considered as value options. Johnson should also be considered in most formats due to his expected volume and the weak matchup with the Lions secondary.
As reported by: Brooke Pryor NYJ QB Zach Wilson listed Doubtful for Sunday; WR Corey Davis and RB Tevin Coleman listed questionable but expected to play
Zach Wilson has been listed doubtful for Sunday while Corey Davis and Tevin Coleman were listed questionable but are expected to play. Mike White will draw the start for the Jets regardless of Wilson’s health and will continue to start until he struggles. Corey Davis should return to his role opposite Jamison Crowder as the top wide receiver for the Jets while Coleman should return to his role as running back three behind Michael Carter and Ty Johnson. The Jets have a tough matchup against the Buffalo Bills defense making it difficult to start any offensive members with any confidence. It will be best to avoid the Jets if possible in Week 10.

As expected, Nick Chubb, Demetric Felton, and John Kelly will not play Sunday against the New England Patriots according to HC Kevin Stefanski. With all three sidelined due to COVID D’Ernest Johnson will lead the backfield as he is currently the only healthy running back available for Cleveland. Johnson would be a tremendous value play, especially after his numbers the last time he led the Browns backfield (146 rush yards, 22 receiving yards on 2 receptions, 1 touchdown). It is likely that Brian Hill will be elevated from the practice squad but it still should be the D’Ernest Johnson show and he should be considered in every lineup and projects to be the most owned player on the slate.

BUF RB Zack Moss has been listed questionable for Sunday’s game against the New York Jets. Moss was able to return to practice this week and seems like he is trending in the right direction to suit up this weekend. If he were to miss Sunday however, Devin Singletary would get the bulk of the running back work for the Bills in a matchup they are expected to be leading for most of. Singletary would become a great value option based on expected volume.
As reported by: Buffalo Bills ATL TE Lee Smith listed doubtful for Sunday
Lee Smith has been listed doubtful for Sunday when the Falcons are set to take on the Dallas Cowboys. Smith was not expected to play much of a role and his absence should not be DFS relevant. Parker Hesse will likely be elevated from the practice squad to provide depth at the tight end position for the Falcons.
As reported by: Atlanta Falcons ARI QB Kyler Murray, WR DeAndre Hopkins, and WR Rondale Moore to be a game-time decisions on Sunday according to HC Kliff Kingsbury
Kyler Murray, DeAndre Hopkins, and Rondale Moore will all be game-time decisions on Sunday according to HC Kliff Kingsbury. Kyler Murray stated Wednesday that he feels a lot better and expects to play this weekend and it seems like he is trending in the right direction being able to log a limited practice on Friday. If Hopkins and/or Moore are out the rest of the receiving corps would see a tremendous boost in expected production with Christian Kirk and the returning A.J. Green being the biggest benefactors. It will be important once again to monitor inactives for the Cardinals this week as the whole slate could change based on how these injuries play out, the only problem is the fact that the Cardinals play during the 4pm ET slot so if you are hoping to take advantage of the news you will need to have some roster flexibility.
As reported by: Darren Urban Other tagged players: DeAndre Hopkins, Rondale Moore WAS WR Curtis Samuel out for Sunday; WR Dyami Brown and TE Sammis Reyes are questionable; TE Logan Thomas not expected to be activated from IR
Curtis Samuel will be out Sunday when the Washington Football Team is set to take on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers while Dyami Brown and Sammis Reyes are questionable. As expected, Curtis Samuel will once again be unable to suit up meaning more snaps and oppurtunities for the rest of the Washington receiving corps. The main benefactors will likely be Dyami Brown (questionable) and Adam Humphries with Terry McLaurin set to remain the number one target. Logan Thomas is not expected to be activated from IR which means it will be another week of Ricky Seals-Jones playing as the primary tight end and being a value option at the position.
As reported by: Nicki Jhabvala Other tagged players: Dyami Brown, Logan Thomas TBB WR Chris Godwin a game-time decision Sunday; WR Antonio Brown and TE Rob Gronkowski ruled out
Chris Godwin will be a game-time decision Sunday while Antonio Brown and Rob Gronkowski have been ruled out for Tampa Bay’s game against the Washington Football Team. Brown and Gronkowski were expected to be out and Cameron Brate and O.J. Howard should continue to split time at the tight end position in Gronk’s absence. If Godwin were unable to suit up, Mike Evans would become the top receiver play on the slate and would need to be considered in all formats. Tyler Johnson and the potentially returning Scotty Miller would become great value options due to the expected volume they would be in line for. It will be important to check inactives 90 minutes prior to kickoff on Sunday for Godwin’s status as it could drastically impact lineup construction in all formats across all sites.
As reported by: Ari Meirov Other tagged players: Antonio Brown, Rob Gronkowski NYJ WR Denzel Mims will not be off COVID list before Sunday
Denzel Mims will not be off the COVID list before Sunday’s game against the Buffalo Bills according to HC Robert Saleh. Mims was not expected to play much of a role and his absence will be irrelevant for DFS. Corey Davis is set to make his return moving all other Jets receivers down the depth chart, any snaps that Mims would have seen will now likely be played by Braxton Berrios or Jeff Smith.
As reported by: Brian Costello JAC RB James Robinson questionable for Sunday with "good chance to play"; QB Trevor Lawrence "good to go" according to HC Urban Meyer
James Robinson questionable for Sunday with “good chance to play”; QB Trevor Lawrence “good to go” according to HC Urban Meyer ahead of the Jaguars matchup with the Indianapolis Colts. Robinson should return to his normal role as the lead back with Carlos Hyde available to back him up. Robinson draws a tough matchup against a Colts defense that has allowed the third fewest fantasy points to running backs so far this year. This, combined with the potential for Robinson to be limited in his first game back from a heel injury make it best to steer clear of Robinson outside of large field GPPs.
As reported by: Ian Rapoport Other tagged players: Trevor Lawrence MIA TE Hunter Long listed inactive for Thursday
Hunter Long has been listed inactive for Thursday night’s game between the Miami Dolphins and the Baltimore Ravens. Long was expected to serve as tight end depth and his absence should have no DFS impact even on a showdown slate.
As reported by: Miami Dolphins BAL RB Latavius Murray, WR James Proche, and TE Nick Boyle listed inactive for Thursday; Sammy Watkins available
Latavius Murray, James Proche, and Nick Boyle have been listed inactive for Thursday night’s game against the Miami Dolphins. Latavius Murray was expected to miss after being listed doubtful yesterday. With Murray out, Devonta Freeman and Le’Veon Bell should see most of the running back snaps with Ty’Son Williams also mixing in. Eric Tomlinson should serve as the main backup and blocking tight end for the Ravens with Boyle unable to make his season debut. Sammy Watkins should return to his role as wide receiver three behind Marquise Brown and Rashod Bateman and will be a big play threat.

Jacoby Brissett will start for the Dolphins Thursday against the Baltimore Ravens, QB Tua Tagovailoa will back him up. All Miami pass-catchers will take a hit to their expected production with this news and the Dolphins could elect to focus more on their run game.
