Ezekiel Elliott inactive today
Ezekiel Elliott is inactive today, an unexpected move after multiple reports had indicated he would play. This should mean Tony Pollard works as the top back, making him a very strong play that could also carry a lot of ownership.

Geoff Swaim inactive Sunday
Geoff Swaim is inactive Sunday, opening up some work for Anthony Firkser and MyCole Pruitt behind top TE Jonnu Smith.
As reported by: Jim Wyatt Other tagged players: Anthony Firkser, MyCole Pruitt, Jonnu Smith Mike Gesicki, DeVante Parker and Jakeem Grant all reportedly out today
Mike Gesicki, DeVante Parker and Jakeem Grant are all out today, leaving the Dolphins to likely lean on Mack Hollins and Lynn Bowden in the passing game at WR. Adam Shaheen and Durham Smythe should get the TE work, and as a whole the Dolphins should have a lot of players involved in the passing game to try and make up for the pieces they are missing.
As reported by: Miami Dolphins Other tagged players: DeVante Parker, Jakeem Grant, Mack Hollins, Lynn Bowden Jr. As expected, Ravens officially activate Marquise Brown, Miles Boykin and James Proche from Reserve/COVID-19 list, all are eligible to play today
Confirming what had already been reported yesterday, the Ravens officially activated Marquise Brown, Miles Boykin and James Proche from the Reserve/COVID-19 list Sunday morning, meaning they all are eligible to play today. They were all placed on the list due to a close contact, not a positive test, which is why they were able to return so quickly.
As reported by: Ian Rapoport Other tagged players: Miles Boykin, James Proche Antonio Gibson reportedly will not play today, as expected
Antonio Gibson reportedly will not play today, confirming what we already expected given his doubtful designation this week. J.D. McKissic and Peyton Barber will share the ground work, with McKissic having a higher upside due to his involvement in the passing game.
As reported by: John Keim Other tagged players: JD McKissic, Peyton Barber Jakeem Grant not expected to play; DeVante Parker, James White expected to play
Jakeem Grant is not expected to play today, while DeVante Parker is reportedly expected to play, although we will still need to see confirmation when inactives come out. Patriots’ RB James White is expected to play, and there doesn’t seem to be a real risk of him sitting. With Damien Harris already ruled out, James White could see a slightly elevated work load, although the Patriots also have Sony Michel.
As reported by: Tom Pelissero Other tagged players: DeVante Parker, James White, Sony Michel Rapoport: Ezekiel Elliott, Jimmy Graham and Chase Edmonds all expected to play; Mike Gesicki has a chance, likely a GTD
Ezekiel Elliott is reportedly expected to play, although he could still be limited. There is definitely a risk of a limited workload, meaning some extra work for Tony Pollard. Jimmy Graham is expected to play, but despite Graham catching a TD last week, Cole Kmet looks like the more appealing TE option on the Dolphins. Chase Edmonds is also expected to play, and also carries some risk on a limited workload due to his injury. Mike Gesicki has a chance to play, and is likely to be a GTD. Even if active, he could see limited snaps, making him more dependent on a TD to hit value.
As reported by: Ian Rapoport Other tagged players: Jimmy Graham, Chase Edmonds, Mike Gesicki Curtis Samuel active tonight; Christian McCaffrey inactive, as expected
Curtis Samuel is officially active tonight, despite being listed as questionable this week. Christian McCaffrey is inactive, as expected, and Mike Davis will get extended work as the top back once again.
As reported by: Carolina Panthers Other tagged players: Christian McCaffrey, Mike Davis Marquise Brown, Miles Boykin and James Proche all activated from the Reserve/COVID-19 list, on track to play tomorrow
All three WRs were placed on the COVID list due to close contacts, not due to a positive test. That allowed them to be activated after just five days, and all three are on track to play tomorrow as usual.
As reported by: Field Yates Other tagged players: Miles Boykin, James Proche, Lamar Jackson Kalif Raymond placed on Reserve/COVID-19 list
Kalif Raymond has been placed on the Reserve/COVID-19 list, and will be out Sunday. With just two targets and zero catches total over the past six weeks, his absence is not significant.
As reported by: Jim Wyatt Deonte Harris placed on injured reserve
Deonte Harris has been placed on injured reserve, meaning he is out at least until the end of the regular season. His absence is a small boost for WRs like Juwan Johnson and Tommylee Lewis, although neither should be expected to have a sizable role in the offense.
As reported by: John Hendrix Other tagged players: Juwan Johnson, Tommylee Lewis Christian McCaffrey ruled out for tonight, as expected
Christian McCaffrey has reportedly been ruled out for tonight, as expected. Mike Davis will get at least one more game to work as the top back, while McCaffrey still reportedly wants to return this season.
As reported by: Adam Schefter Other tagged players: Mike Davis Dolphins elevate Isaiah Ford and Chris Myarick to the active roster
The Dolphins elevated Isaiah Ford and Chris Myarick to the active roster on Saturday, potentially a sign they expect to be missing at least one of their players currently listed as questionable. The Miami situation needs to be monitored closely.
Other tagged players: Chris Myarick James Conner listed as questionable for Monday night
James Conner is officially listed as questionable for Monday night, after getting in two limited practices to finish the week. Conner does appear on track to play, but this is worth monitoring, as Benny Snell and Jaylen Samuels would get nice boosts if Conner was out.
As reported by: Adam Caplan Other tagged players: Benny Snell, Jaylen Samuels Phillip Lindsay and Melvin Gordon both active, as expected
As reported earlier, both Phillip Lindsay and Melvin Gordon are active today. They will work as the top backs for the Broncos, leaving Royce Freeman with a very small role as the RB3.
