MIA WR DeVante Parker "appears to have an uphill battle to play today"
MIA WR DeVante Parker “appears to have an uphill battle to play today” ahead of the Dolphins’ matchup with the Atlanta Falcons. If Parker is unable to go, Jaylen Waddle and Mike Gesicki would get a bump as Tua Tagovailoa’s top pass-catchers with Preston Williams and Albert Wilson also seeing their roles increase. Both Waddle and Gesicki would be worth considering in most formats due to their expected volume boost in a decent matchup.

LVR TE Matt Bushman elevated from practice squad for Sunday
Matt Bushman has been elevated from the practice squad for Sunday’s game against the Philadelphia Eagles. Normally this elevation would not be too important with Darren Waller and Foster Moreau expected to see most of the tight end snaps (with Waller playing a crucial role in the passing game) but Waller has been downgraded to questionable with a knee injury and could miss tomorrow. If this were the case, Moreau and Bushman could become tremendous value options in an offense that normally relies heavily on Waller in the passing attack, though it’s not certain that Moreau and Bushman would be used in the same way.
As reported by: Aaron Wilson NOS WR Chris Hogan will be placed on reserve/retired list
Chris Hogan will be placed on reserve/retired list and has announced his intent to retire. Hogan has seen his role steadily decrease this year and has decided to call it a career, his retirement is not DFS relevant as he was already serving in such a minor role.
As reported by: Tom Pelissero NOS WR Deonte Harris, RB Dwayne Washington, and QB Taysom Hill all listed out for Monday
Deonte Harris, Dwayne Washington, and Taysom Hill all listed out for Monday’s contest against the Seattle Seahawks. With Harris ruled out, Marquez Callaway and Tre’Quan Smith should play a larger role in the Saints passing game increasing their value. With Washington out Devine Ozigbo should see a few more carries backing up Alvin Kamara. Kamara remains the top play on the New Orleans side of the ball and on the Monday night showdown slate as a whole and it’s not particularly close. Kamara should be the first man in most showdown lineups.

Alex Collins (groin) has officially been listed as questionable for Monday night’s game against the New Orleans Saints but is expected to suit up according to HC Pete Carroll. Collins has been dealing with a groin injury and if he is limited in any way it could mean more touches for the returning Rashaad Penny as well as Travis Homer or DeeJay Dallas though it is likely one of those two will be a healthy scratch on Monday. Collins has done a serviceable job in Chris Carson’s absence and will look to continue this on Monday night. If he is cleared to play without limitations, he should be considered for the showdown slate.

As reported by: Aaron Wilson TEN RB Darrynton Evans activated from IR; WR Mason Kinsey elevated to active roster; RB Mekhi Sargent waived
Darrynton Evans has been activated from IR and should serve as Derrick Henry’s backup if Jeremy McNichols is unable to suit up. Mason Kinsey has been elevated to the active roster and should serve as wide receiver depth with Chester Rogers already being ruled out. Mekhi Sargent has been waived leaving Khari Blasingame as the primary fullback for the Titans. None of these players project to be DFS relevant this weekend.
As reported by: Paul Kuharsky Other tagged players: Mason Kinsey, Mekhi Sargent LVR TE Darren Waller (ankle) now listed questionable for Sunday
Darren Waller (ankle) is now listed as questionable for Sunday when the Raiders are set to take on the Philadelphia Eagles. This injury has seemingly popped up out of nowhere as there were no concerns earlier in the week for Waller, if he is unable to go Las Vrgas would be losing one of its top pass catchers and also would be even thinner at tight end. They are already without Derek Carrier and Nick Bowers to serve as tight end depth so Foster Moreau might have to step in and soak up nearly all of the tight end snaps. The Raiders wide receivers would likely be the greatest benefactors if Waller was to miss as he soaks up a large share of targets. Hunter Renfrow, Henry Ruggs, and Bryan Edwards would be the most likely candidates to see these extra targets making them all better plays.
