Michael Thomas, Emmanuel Sanders both active; Ty Montgomery inactive
Michael Thomas will return tonight, and he is active for the first time since Week 1. This should immediately boost the Saints, considering that Thomas is one of the most dominate WRs in the league. Emmanuel Sanders is also active, and he is returning from the COVID-19 list. He won’t see the same volume of targets he had been previously when Thomas was out.
As reported by: New Orleans Saints Other tagged players: Emmanuel Sanders, Ty Montgomery
Maxx Williams active Sunday
Maxx Williams is active Sunday, and couple play his first snaps since Week 1. He projects to have almost no role in the passing game and would be a third option at the TE position for the Cardinals.
As reported by: Arizona Cardinals Vance McDonald active Sunday
Vance McDonald is officially active Sunday for Pittsburgh and will work behind Eric Ebron. His role in the offense is limited this season, so he is a completely TD-dependent play.
As reported by: Bob Labriola Other tagged players: Eric Ebron Ezekiel Elliott officially active today
Elliott is now officially active, although the extent of his role isn’t clear. Tony Pollard is expected to see a larger than usual role. It is worth noting that the Cowboys called up FB Sewo Olonilua as a depth option on Saturday and have him inactive today, so they aren’t concerned with having that additional depth behind Elliott.
As reported by: Dallas Cowboys PR Other tagged players: Tony Pollard, Rico Dowdle Josh Jacobs officially active Sunday
Josh Jacobs is officially active for the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday. Jacobs had a disappointing Week 7, but followed that up with 31 carries in Week 8, and with that type of volume comes the potential for a massive day.
As reported by: Las Vegas Raiders Keenan Allen officially active; Troymaine Pope inactive Sunday
Keenan Allen was cleared to play earlier Sunday, and now he is officially active. He was questionable with an illness that has been reported as a sore throat. He should handle his usual workload, but little is known about the extent of his sickness. Troymaine Pope is also inactive for the Chargers.
As reported by: Los Angeles Chargers Other tagged players: Troymaine Pope Ezekiel Elliott reportedly expected to play after testing hamstring pregame; Official inactives not yet released
Ezekiel Elliott is reportedly expected to play Sunday, although the hamstring could still limit his work. Tony Pollard is in line behind Elliott, and should see work even if Elliott is active. Official inactives should be out around 3:55 PM ET.
As reported by: Todd Archer Other tagged players: Tony Pollard, Rico Dowdle Steven Sims officially active Sunday
Steven Sims is officially active for Washington Sunday, as expected. It will be his first game since Week 3, and he should jump right back in as the 2nd WR in the Washington offense
As reported by: John Keim C.J. Board active Sunday
C.J. Board will be active Sunday, and projects as the third highest scoring WR for the Giants. However, that doesn’t translate into much, and he is not likely to be relevant in DFS today.
As reported by: Pat Leonard Chris Thompson active Sunday
Chris Thompson is active Sunday and will have a very limited role working behind James Robinson.
As reported by: John Oehser T.Y. Hilton inactive Sunday; Mo Alie-Cox, Marcus Johnson both active
T.Y. Hilton’s disappointing season continues, as he is now inactive for Week 9. Mo Alie-Cox is active but part of a crowded TE position, with Trey Burton and Jack Doyle both also active. Marcus Johnson is active and could be a strong value play with the absence of Hilton.
As reported by: Indianapolis Colts Other tagged players: Mo Alie-Cox, Marcus Johnson, Michael Pittman, Zach Pascal Jordan Akins officially active
Jordan Akins is active Sunday and should work as the top TE option for the Texans. This will limit the role of TE Darren Fells.
As reported by: Aaron Wilson Other tagged players: Darren Fells Matthew Stafford officially active today
This was already expected when Stafford cleared COVID protocols, but the QB is officially active Sunday and will start. This is an obvious boost to the entire Lions’ offense.
As reported by: Michael Rothstein Cole Kmet active Sunday
Cole Kmet is active Sunday and will work as the Bears’ second TE option behind Jimmy Graham.
As reported by: Jeff Dickerson Christian McCaffrey officially active Sunday, as expected
Christian McCaffrey is officially active Sunday. The star RB is expected to share some work with Mike Davis, but the extent of that sharing isn’t know. McCaffrey has often handled nearly every RB touch and snap, so an expanded role for his backup could still be fairly limited.
