As reported by: the Indianapolis Colts via Twitter
MIA WR Devante Parker officially active
As expected, Parker is back in the lineup and will play against the Bills. He’ll reclaim his starting WR spot alongside Jaylen Waddle.
As reported by: the Miami Dolphins via Twitter NYJ WR Corey Davis officially out; TE Tyler Kroft active
As expeced, Davis was ruled out against the Bengals. He was doubtful with a hip injury so it was unlikely he played. Although none of the Jets receivers are great options, Jamison Crowder should lead the team in targets, while Keelan Cole, Elijah Moore, and Denzel Mims mix in to various levels. Kroft was ruled in, so he’ll split snaps with Ryan Griffin at tight end; neither is a great option due to the Jets bleak pass game with Mike White leading the way.
As reported by: the New York Jets via Twitter Other tagged players: Tyler Kroft ATL WR Calvin Ridley inactive Sunday
Ridley was ruled out due to a personal matter, a shock as the Falcons prepare to play the Carolina Panthers. Ridley’s personal issue caused him to miss the game against the Jets in London three weeks ago, and he’s had to miss again today. As one of the most popular plays on the slate and one of the top cash values, roster constructions will surely shift. Kyle Pitts is likely the biggest winner, as his target share will increase and he’ll clearly be the top option. Russell Gage, Olamide Zaccheus, and Christian Blake/Tajae Sharpe will all see some more work as well at the WR position, as will TE Hayden Hurst. Cordarelle Patterson will sneakily gain some more work as wideout as well, and may be worth considering at the RB position as well.
As reported by: Ian Rapaport via Twitter CIN WR Auden Tate inactive
Tate was ruled out due to a thigh injury against the Jets. He wasn’t going to be a consideration anyways, as Chase, Higgins, and Boyd are the top three receivers for the Bengals. Trenton Irwin will be active as a result.
As reported by: Patrick Carey via Twitter TB TE Rob Gronkowski a game-time decision Sunday, but expected to play
Gronk’s practice reports were promising and he was ultimately listed questionable heading to the big divisional clash against the New Orleans Saints. He’s still going to have his status determined before game-time, but there’s optimism according to Rapoport, so he should be back. If he can’t make it, Cameron Brate and O.J. Howard would step in for more snaps.
As reported by: Ian Rapaport via Twitter SEA RB Alex Collins expected to play Sunday
Last week, Collins was listed as questionable heading into the Seahawks game, but ultimately played and carried the ball as the number one RB. Rapoport confirmed that he’s expected to play once again through his groin injury, in a much better matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
As reported by: Ian Rapaport via Twitter MIA WR Devante Parker expected to play Sunday
Parker hasn’t played since week 4 due to his shoulder and hamstring issues, but Rapoport mentioned that he’s expected to play and is expected to return against the Buffalo Bills. He’s likely to slot in alongside Jaylen Waddle and Mike Gesicki, as Will Fuller and Preston Williams both remained sidelined.
As reported by: Ian Rapaport via Twitter IND WR T.Y. Hilton expected to play Sunday
Hilton has been dealing with a quad issue that caused him to miss last game, but according to Rapoport there’s “optimism” that he’s able to play against the Titans Sunday. It’s certainly looking like he’ll be active, and he’ll slot in as the second option behind Michael Pittman.
As reported by: Ian Rapaport via Twitter CLE WR Odell Beckham Jr expected to play Sunday
Despite the pain that he’s been dealing with in his shoulder, OBJ should be good to go Sunday against the Steelers. He’ll be one of Baker’s top two options along with Jarvis Landry.
As reported by: Ian Rapaport via Twitter LAC RB Austin Ekeler will play Sunday
Ekeler confirmed to ESPN that he’d play Sunday against the New England Patriots, after missing two practices with a hip injury. It seems that it was simply precautionary, and Ekeler should have his usual role as the team’s leading RB.
As reported by: Adam Schefter via Twitter CAR WR Keith Kirkwood elevated from practice squad for Sunday
Keith Kirkwood has been elevated from the practice squad for Sunday’s game against the Atlanta Falcons. Kirkwood is expected to serve as the number three receiver behind D.J. Moore and Robby Anderson. Kirkwood is cheap, but there are better options in the same price range with a chance of playing a bigger role in their respective offenses.

NOS WR Kevin White elevated from practice squad for Sunday
Kevin White has been elevated from the practice squad for Sunday’s game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. White is expected to serve as wide receiver depth and play on special teams. White is not expected to be DFS relevant at this time.
As reported by: Nick Underhill SFO TE Jordan Matthews elevated from practice squad for Sunday
Jordan Matthews has been elevated from the practice squad for Sunday’s game against the Chicago Bears. Matthews is expected to serve as tight end depth behind Ross Dwelley and Charlie Woerner. Matthews is not expected to be DFS relevant at this time.
As reported by: Matt Barrows MIN TE Luke Stocker elevated from practice squad for Sunday
Luke Stocker has been elevated from the practice squad for Sunday night’s game against the Dallas Cowboys. Stocker is expected to serve as tight end depth behind Tyler Conklin and Chris Herndon. Stocker should only be considered as a dart throw punt play on the showdown slate, but there are better options.
