Eno Benjamin and Chris Streveler will be inactive for the Cardinals when they take on the Tennessee Titans. Colt McCoy will serve as the backup quarterback to Kyler Murray and the ground game should be split between Chase Edmonds and James Conner.
As reported by: Arizona Cardinals Other tagged players: Chris Streveler SFO RB Trey Sermon inactive
Trey Sermon has been listed inactive for the 49ers ahead of their matchup with the Detroit Lions which comes as a little of a surprise. He was deemed a healthy scratch so the coaching staff believes that they will better off with JaMychal Hasty and Elijah Mitchell serving as Raheem Mostert’s backups. The ground attack of the 49ers should see a lot of work today as they are favorites against a poor Detroit Lion’s team.
As reported by: David Lombardi MIN QB Kellen Mond and TE Ben Ellefson inactive
QB Kellen Mond and Ben Ellefson will be inactive when the Vikings take on the Cincinnati Bengals. Sean Mannion will be the backup QB for Kirk Cousins and Tyler Conklin and Chris Herndon should handle the tight end duties.

Keelan Cole was considered a game-time decision coming into this game and will be unable to suit up for the Jets Sunday when they take on the Carolina Panthers. This makes Corey Davis and Elijah Moore even better plays as Cole joins Jamison Crowder as unavailable. Moore is an elite play and should be considered in all formats. Perine and Adams were not expected to see much if any run today as most of the rushing should be handled by Tevin Coleman, Michael Carter, and Ty Johnson.

Wayne Gallman and Frank Darby will be inactive when the Falcons take on the Philadelphia Eagles. Mike Davis will lead the backfield with Cordarrelle Patterson set to back him up. Calvin Ridley, Kyle Pitts, and Russell Gage should dominate the target share in the passing game.

Jemar Jefferson, KhaDarel Hodge, and Tom Kennedy will all be inactive for the Lions when they face the San Francisco 49ers. The running game should be handled by both Jamaal Williams and D’Andre Swift. The top passing options for the Lions should be Tyrell Williams and T.J. Hockenson.
As reported by: Detroit Lions Other tagged players: Khadarel Hodge, Tom Kennedy BUF RB Zack Moss inactive
Zack Moss was a very surprising healthy scratch for the Bills as it seemed like he was going to split time with Devin Singletary in the Bills’ backfield. As of now we don’t know what is going on behind the scenes but this makes Singletary a much better play even though he is going up against a tough Pittsburgh defense.
As reported by: Buffalo Bills TEN WR Cam Batson, WR Josh Reynolds inactive
Cam Batson was not expected to play much of a role this week and Josh Reynolds will be unable to shake the injury he has been battling this week as both will be inactive for the Titans when they take on the Cardinals.
As reported by: Cory Curtis Other tagged players: Josh Reynolds LAC RB Austin Ekeler "is full-go" for Sunday
As expected, Austin Ekeler “is full-go” for Sunday when the Chargers are set to take on the Washington Football Team. Ekeler who should see his full run according to reports will likely play a major role in both the running and passing games today against a good Washington defense. Though it is a tough matchup Ekeler can be considered due to his duel threat nature with the score of the game not impacting his usage much.
As reported by: Ian Rapoport NYG RB Saquon Barkley "should be used sparingly today"
Saquon Barkley “should be used sparingly today” according to NFL Game Day. This was always expected to be the case even going back to the beginning of the week if Barkley was cleared to play. His reps will be limited as they ease him back into his role after missing the last 11 months. It remains to be seen what sparingly means but Devontae Booker will likely be the man to see extra carries. It is probably best to just stay away from this situation until we know more about what Saquon’s role will be going forward.
As reported by: Ian Rapoport BUF WR Emmanuel Sanders (questionable) expected to play Sunday
Emmanuel Sanders is expected to play Sunday after being listed as questionable on the injury report with a foot injury. Sanders should be a major addition to an already lethal passing attack, he will line up across from Stefon Diggs with Cole Beasley in the slot. Though they draw a tough matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers defense all three receivers should warrant at least some consideration with Diggs being the top guy.
As reported by: Ian Rapoport NYJ WR Keelan Cole considered a true game-time decision for Sunday
Keelan Cole is considered a true game-time decision for Sunday after tweaking his knee in practice. The Jets are already down one wide receiver with Jamison Crowder on the COVID list and could be down one more if Cole is unable to go. Corey Davis and rookie Elijah Moore are set to be in for a big workload even with Cole in and if he were to miss this would just become larger, Denzel Mims could also see increased snaps and targets in the event of Cole missing. Moore is an elite play based on his expected volume and should be considered as a cash and tournament play regardless of if Cole is able to go.
As reported by: Ian Rapoport CLE WR Odell Beckam Jr. (questionable) expected to play Sunday
Odell Beckam Jr. is expected to play Sunday after being listed as questionable on the injury report. All indications pointed to him making his return this week after suffering a major knee injury last year. Teammates and coaches have said he looks good in practice and he is expected to be the Cleveland’s top receiving option in a game that is projected to be very high scoring with the Kansas City Chiefs. Though it hasn’t been mentioned by any coaches it has been speculated that OBJ could be on some sort of snap count and might not see his full run.
