CHI WR Darnell Mooney (questionable) expected to play Sunday

MIA WR Preston Williams not expected to play Sunday
Preston Williams who is dealing with a foot injury is not expected to play Sunday. Though he was not expected to play a major role it is likely any snaps that he was expected to see will be split by Albert Wilson, Jakeem Grant, and possibly even Mack Hollins. It is unlikely that any of these players will be DFS relevant on such a large slate with a ton of wide receiver value to be found elsewhere.
As reported by: Ian Rapoport NYG RB Saquon Barkley medically cleared, expected to play Sunday
Saquon Barkley has officially been medically cleared to play and is expected to return after 11 months for the Giants tomorrow when they take on the Denver Broncos. This seemed like the likely outcome after Barkley hit his benchmarks in practice and suffered no setbacks. Barkley will likely have a reduced workload this being the first time he has seen game action in quite some time. It will be difficult to roster Barkley until we see exactly how much he will be able to play and if he is showing any ill effects of being off the field for so long.

As reported by: Art Stapleton TEN TE Tommy Hudson out, TE MyCole Pruitt elevated from practice squad
Tommy Hudson has been ruled out for Sunday and in a corresponding move MyCole Pruitt has been elevated from the practice squad. Hudson wasn’t expected to play much of a role when the Titans take on the Arizona Cardinals and it likely that this will be the case for his replacement MyCole Pruitt. Neither are DFS relevant.

Michael Badgley has been elevated to the active roster and will serve as the Titans’ kicker on Sunday with Sam Ficken headed to the IR. This is expected to be a high scoring game against the Arizona Cardinals so Badgley should have ample opportunities.

Ameer Abdullah and Sean Mannion have both been elevated from the practice squad to the active roster ahead of Sunday’s game against the Cincinnati Bengals.

Chris Naggar has been elevated from the practice squad to the active roster for Sunday if Chase McLaughlin (currently listed questionable with a quad injury) is unable to handle the kicking duties against the Chiefs.

As reported by: Cleveland Browns HOU QB Deshaun Watson officially listed as out for Sunday.
Deshaun Watson has officially been listed as out for Sunday which comes as no surprise as the Texans continue to look to trade Watson. The Texans will roll with Tyrod Taylor as their starter and Davis Mills as his backup when they take on the Jacksonville Jaguars.
As reported by: Adam Schefter NOS WR Tre'Quan Smith listed out for Sunday
Tre’Quan Smith has been listed out for Sunday when the Saints are set to take on the Green Bay Packers. The Saints passing game will likely flow mostly through Marquez Callaway and Alvin Kamara. Kamara and Callaway were already great plays and now become some of the best on the slate. Both can be considered in cash games as well as tournaments as the Saints will likely be forced to throw the ball if they want to keep up with the Packers. Deonte Harris and Juwan Johnson are both also likely to see a bump but are nowhere near as strong plays as Callaway and Kamara.
As reported by: Tom Silverstein SFO WR Jalen Hurd listed out, QB Trey Lance not listed on injury report
Jalen Hurd has been listed out ahead of Sunday’s matchup with the Detroit Lions while Trey Lance was not listed on injury report after dealing with a finger injury this week. The main threats in the San Francisco passing game will remain Brandon Aiyuk, Deebo Samuel, and George Kittle. Trey Lance will likely see some snaps as he rotates in with Jimmy Garrapolo but will likely not see enough to be DFS relevant, that could change soon.
