Anthony McFarland inactive Sunday
Anthony McFarland is inactive Sunday, meaning Benny Snell and Jaylen Samuels will be the RBs working behind James Conner. Regardless of who is working as the backup RB, Conner is the clear leader in this backfield and will continue to get most of the work.

Deebo Samuel inactive Sunday, Trent Taylor and River Cracraft both active
Deebo Samuel is inactive Sunday, while Trent Taylor and River Cracraft are both active. Cracraft and Taylor combined for 9 targets last week, catching just 3 for 22 yards, but the return of Brandon Aiyuk and Kendrick Bourne should return both back to smaller roles in the offense.
As reported by: Nick Wagoner Other tagged players: Trent Taylor, River Cracraft Troymaine Pope active Sunday
Troymaine Pope is officially active Sunday after being listed as questionable. Having Pope active just makes it harder to read this RB situation, as Joshua Kelley and Kalen Ballage both will also get work as well.
As reported by: Los Angeles Chargers Other tagged players: Joshua Kelley, Kalen Ballage Matt Breida, Jordan Howard and Lynn Bowden all inactive Sunday
Matt Breida was expected to be out, but Jordan Howard is a surprising scratch. That leaves Miami with Salvon Ahmed, DeAndre Washington and Patrick Laird at RB this week. The rookie Salvon Ahmed made his debut last week, gaining 38 yards on 7 carries. DeAndre Washington is active and should make his debut with the Dolphins, and the extent of his role in the offense is the big question. Laird did not receive much work last week, with 1 target and 1 carry, and he is likely to remain the third RB in this offense. Lynn Bowden Jr. has not had a role in this offense this season.
As reported by: Miami Dolphins Other tagged players: Jordan Howard, Lynn Bowden Jr., Patrick Laird, DeAndre Washington, Salvon Ahmed Jerry Jeudy, Diontae Spencer both active Sunday
Jerry Jeudy and Diontae Spencer are both active Sunday for the Broncos. Jeudy is coming off the best game of his young career, catching 7 passes for 125 yards and 1 TD. The most appealing fact could be that Jeudy has now seen 24 combined targets over the past two games.

T.J. Yeldon is officially inactive Sunday for the Bills. Zach Moss and Devin Singletary will handle the RB duties this week.
As reported by: Joe Buscaglia Tyrie Cleveland inactive Sunday
Tyrie Cleveland is inactive Sunday. He has totaled 3 targets this season, and his absence does not have any DFS impact.
As reported by: Denver Broncos Kenyan Drake, Maxx Williams active Sunday
Both Kenyan Drake and Maxx Williams are active Sunday, and the Cardinals offense is finally healthy, giving Kyler Murray all his weapons to work with against Buffalo. Drake being healthy will mean less work available for Chase Edmonds, but both should still be involved today.

Bears plan to elevate Lamar Miller from practice squad for Monday night, and the RB will be needed after David Montgomery was ruled out. Beside Miller, the Bears will also have Ryan Nall and Artavis Pierce at RB, plus WR Cordarrelle Patterson will see work in the rushing game. Making the situation even more complex, Lamar Miller hasn’t played since 2018, making it difficult to know what type of workload he can handle.
As reported by: Ian Rapoport Other tagged players: David Montgomery, Ryan Nall, Artavis Pierce, Cordarrelle Patterson T.J. Hockenson active Sunday, Jamal Agnew inactive
T.J. Hockenson is officially active Sunday, confirming reports from early Sunday morning, and he should have no issues filling his normal role this week. Jamal Agnew is inactive for the Lions.
As reported by: Tim Twentyman Other tagged players: Jamal Agnew Golden Tate active Sunday; Dante Pettis inactive
It has been quite a turnaround for Golden Tate. He is active Sunday, just one week after being inactive due to a behavioral issue. Dante Pettis will not make his Giants debut, as he inactive Sunday.
As reported by: Pat Leonard Other tagged players: Dante Pettis Alshon Jeffery active Sunday; J.J. Arcega-Whiteside inactive
Alshon Jeffery is active Sunday and will make his 2020 season debut. With his return, J.J. Arcega-Whiteside is a healthy inactive. Arcega-Whiteside has had a very disappointing season, and being a healthy scratch is a new low point for the 2019 2nd round draft pick.
As reported by: Zach Berman Other tagged players: JJ Arcega-Whiteside Robert Tonyan active Sunday; Darrius Shepherd inactive
Robert Tonyan is officially active Sunday, while Darrius Shepherd is inactive. Tonyan will work as the Packers’ top TE, while Shepherd being inactive means Equanimeous St. Brown is active, although this offense still flows through Aaron Jones and Davante Adams.
As reported by: Green Bay Packers Other tagged players: Darrius Shepherd T.J. Hockenson, Jerry Jeudy, and Mark Ingram all expected to play Sunday
Ian Rapoport said early Sunday morning that T.J. Hockenson, Jerry Jeudy, and Mark Ingram are all expected to play Sunday. It will still be important to confirm they are all active prior to kickoff, but this is certainly a good sign they all will play.
As reported by: Ian Rapoport Other tagged players: Jerry Jeudy, Mark Ingram Schefter: Kenyan Drake "has a good chance to play" Sunday; Matt Breida not expected to play
Per Schefter, we should see Drake active on Sunday, which eats into the appeal of Chase Edmonds. It’s still possible that Drake is limited or takes a back seat to Edmonds even if he is able to go, but Drake could certainly slot right back into his role on early downs assuming he’s not hampered. The Dolphins are expected to be without Matt Breida and Myles Gaskin once again, leaving the Dolphins shorthanded on playmakers with Preston Williams also hitting IR this week. We’ll confirm the status’ of both Drake and Breida closer to kickoff.
