Jerry Jeudy will be active and play Sunday
Jerry Jeudy was questionable this week, will be active and play Sunday. However, without a real QB this week, none of the Broncos’ pass catchers are viable options.

Kalen Ballage inactive; Austin Ekeler active, as expected
Austin Ekeler will make his return for the Chargers, and he will be needed as Kalen Ballage is inactive. Ekeler should return to near his normal role, which means he will be heavily involved in the passing game, while sharing the rushing load with Joshua Kelley. Troymain Pope should also get a little run as the RB3, so Ekeler is unlikely to dominate carries. Still, his ability in the passing game makes him a strong play with nice upside.
As reported by: Los Angeles Chargers Other tagged players: Austin Ekeler Jakeem Grant active Sunday; Tua Tagovailoa inactive
Jakeem Grant is active Sunday, and he will have Ryan Fitzpatrick at QB after Tua Tagovailoa was ruled inactive. Tagovailoa reportedly could miss multiple weeks, but more information should be available next week.
As reported by: Miami Dolphins Other tagged players: Tua Tagovailoa, Ryan Fitzpatrick Dare Ogunbowale inactive Sunday
Dare Ogunbowale is inactive Sunday, which will open up a few targets in the passing game. James Robinson will continue to dominate RB rushing attempts, while Devine Ozigbo could get some passing game work. The Jaguars offense could struggle today, with both DJ Chark and Chris Conley out and Mike Glennon playing QB.
As reported by: Mark Long Other tagged players: Devine Ozigbo Sony Michel, N'Keal Harry and Ryan Izzo all active; J.J. Taylor inactive
As usual, most of the Patriots’ players listed as questionable are active, including Sony Michel, N’Keal Harry and Ryan Izzo. J.J. Taylor is inactive, and he is unlikely to have a role in this offense barring multiple injuries at RB.
As reported by: Ben Volin Other tagged players: N'Keal Harry, Ryan Izzo, J.J. Taylor Zach Pascal, Philip Rivers both active Sunday
Zach Pascal and Philip Rivers are both active Sunday. Rivers has never missed a game, so it is no surprise he is active. Pascal should work his normal role this week, which has kept him involved in the offense each week, but yet to have a big game this season.
As reported by: Kevin Bowen Other tagged players: Philip Rivers Hayden Hurst active Sunday; Qadree Ollison inactive
Hayden Hurst is active Sunday, while Qadree Ollison is inactive. Ollison’s absence won’t have a real impact, while Hurst is a strong TE play this week. Julio Jones is out Sunday, meaning more targets available for the entire Falcons’ offense.
As reported by: Atlanta Falcons Other tagged players: Qadree Ollison Giovani Bernard and Auden Tate active; Bengals' Mike Thomas inactive
Giovani Bernard is active and will work as the Bengals’ top RB Sunday. At WR, Auden Tate is active and Mike Thomas is inactive. The Bengals now have Brandon Allen at QB, and based on his performance last season with the Broncos, the Bengals’ passing game could struggle significantly.
As reported by: Jay Morrison Other tagged players: Auden Tate, Mike Thomas Tyler Kroft inactive Sunday
Tyler Kroft is inactive Sunday, which is a surprising move. With Kroft out, Dawson Knox, Lee Smith and Reggie Gilliam will be the Bills’ active TEs.
As reported by: Joe Buscaglia Other tagged players: Dawson Knox, Lee Smith, Reggie Gilliam Julio Jones officially inactive today
Julio Jones is officially inactive today, opening up significant targets for the rest of the Falcons’ offense. Calvin Ridley projects for a massive target share, with Russell Gage, Hayden Hurst, Olamide Zaccheaus and Christian Blake all getting boosts.
As reported by: Atlanta Falcons Other tagged players: Calvin Ridley, Russell Gage, Hayden Hurst, Olamide Zaccheaus, Christian Blake Jalen Richard reportedly out today
Jalen Richard is reportedly out today, meaning Alec Ingold will get some work as the third back for the Raiders. Ingold’s workload is unlikely to extend beyond a few touches, as Josh Jacbos and backup RB Devontae Booker will still dominate the backfield.
As reported by: Vic Tafur Other tagged players: Alec Ingold Tua Tagovailoa reportedly out today, Ryan Fitzpatrick expected to start
As expected after being downgraded to doubtful yesterday, Tua Tagovailoa is now reportedly out for today. That means the Dolphins are expected to start Ryan Fitzpatrick for the first time since Week 6. While Tagovailoa had done a great job managing the game for the Dolphins, Fitzpatrick is more likely to push the ball down field and take risks. This will mean more interceptions, but also more opportunity for big days from his passing weapons.
As reported by: Mike Garafolo Other tagged players: Ryan Fitzpatrick Jerry Jeudy expected to play today
Jerry Jeudy is expected to play today, but the Broncos having no real QBs should essentially kill all his value. Practice squad WR Kendall Hinton is currently expected to start at QB, and the Broncos offense is expected to struggle to move the ball all day.
As reported by: Ian Rapoport Other tagged players: Kendall Hinton Julio Jones reportedly not expected to play today
While it has not been officially confirmed, Julio Jones is reportedly not expected to play today. No Jones would mean a massive target share for Calvin Ridley, plus Russell Gage and Olamide Zaccheaus also getting significant boosts. While Ian Rapoport said Jones is not expected to play, it is worth noting that Adam Schefter’s last report on Jones was that the Falcons would make a decision Sunday morning. Confirmation should be available by the time inactives come out, if not earlier, but the current expectation is that Jones is out.

Mark Andrews has tested positive for COVID-19 and is officially ruled out for Tuesday night. Andrews is a type 1 diabetic, so there could be additional concern about this diagnosis. As of right now, the NFL is still planning to play this game Tuesday night, despite the Ravens having new additions to the COVID-19 list daily. If the game is played, Luke Willson and Sean Culkin would work as the TEs, but there appears to be a high risk of this game being cancelled or delayed to a hypothetical Week 18.
