Devlin Hodges Will Remain Steelers' Starter vs Jets
Hodges will get at least one more start for the Steelers. He had his first poor outing of his career last week, throwing four interceptions in a loss vs the Bills. He has a much more favorable matchup this week against the Jets.

Jared Cook (Concussion) is Active Tonight for Saints
As expected, Cook is active tonight for the Saints. The TE has been on a roll, totaling 26 catches for 443 yards and 6 TDs over his past seven games. He left the Saints’ last game with a concussion, only played eight offensive snaps, and still finished with 64 yards and 2 TDs.

Hilton is officially active and will play tonight. If healthy, he immediately returns to being the Colts’ top WR. Chad Williams and Ross Travis are both inactive tonight.
As reported by: Indianapolis Colts Other tagged players: Chad Williams, Ross Travis T.Y. Hilton (Calf) Expected to Play Tonight
Colts’ WR T.Y. Hilton is expected to play tonight, his first action since Week 12. He hasn’t played a full game since Week 8, but he has elite upside if he is healthy. His return would pull some attention away from the other WRs and help open up the run game.

The Buccaneers have signed WR Cyril Grayson, giving them a healthy body at WR. He was an elite track athlete at LSU but did not play football, and he hasn’t played a regular-season snap in the NFL. He will be a risky option if active this week, but his speed does give him upside.
As reported by: Greg Auman Hunter Renfrow (Ribs) Expected to Play Sunday
Renfrow is expected to play Sunday after missing the Raiders’ last two games with a broken rib and punctured lung. Prior to his injury, Renfrow had established himself as the Raiders 2nd WR, totaling 22 catches for 281 yards and 2 TDs over his last five games.
As reported by: Vic Tafur Other tagged players: Derek Carr Josh Gordon Suspended Indefinitely
Gordon has been suspended indefinitely without pay for violating the NFL policies on performance-enchancing substances and substances of abuse. Suspensions have been frequent throughout Gordon’s career, and the talented receiver could be out of chances in the NFL. He was claimed earlier this season by Seattle after the Patriots waived him, and he totaled just 7 catches for 139 yards in 5 games with the Seahawks.
As reported by: Adam Caplan Dalvin Cook (Shoulder) Could Play this Week
Vikings coach Mike Zimmer said Monday that Cook’s shoulder injury is one that the RB could play through. This does open the door for him to play this week, but he will be hard to trust after he was forced out of the last game. He does have one extra day to rest, as the Vikings face the Packers next Monday.

The Steelers promoted WR Amara Darboh to their 53-man roster and released WR Tevin Jones. Darboh had been on the Steelers’ practice squad and could have a minor role in the offense as long as JuJu Smith-Schuster is out.
As reported by: Pittsburgh Steelers Other tagged players: Tevin Jones Will Grier Named Panthers' Starter Sunday vs Colts
The Panthers are turning to rookie 3rd-round draft pick Will Grier at QB this week, benching Kyle Allen. Taking over for an injured Cam Newton, Allen started hot, going 4-0 his first four starts with a 7-0 TD-INT ratio. Allen has thrown 15 INTs in the eight games since, and the Panthers have gone 1-7. Grier finished his college career at West Virginia and is yet to take a snap this season.
As reported by: Ian Rapoport Other tagged players: Kyle Allen Greg Olsen Clears Concussion Protocol
Olsen said on Monday that he had cleared the concussion protocol, meaning he can play this week barring a setback. He has missed the past two games, with Ian Thomas starting at TE for the Panthers. Thomas has 7 catches for 80 yards and 1 TD over the past two games and will not be a reliable option if Olsen returns this week.

Raiders RB Josh Jacobs Officially Active Today
As expected, Jacobs is active this afternoon. He draws an excellent matchup against the Jaguars at home, where the Raiders are favored by nearly a touchdown.
As reported by: Adam Schefter Browns TE David Njoku is a Healthy Scratch Today Vs. the Cardinals
Njoku, who just returned from IR, is a surprise healthy inactive today against the Cardinals, who allow the most fantasy points to tight ends in the entire NFL. Demetrius Harris will be the top tight end for the Browns this afternoon.
As reported by: Scott Petrak Other tagged players: Demetrius Harris Seahawks DE Jadeveon Clowney, CB Shaquill Griffin, DE Ziggy Ansah and TE Luke Willson All Inactive Today Vs. Panthers
The Seahawks will have a tough time generating pressure today as they already have poor sack rate and QB pressure metrics. With Willson out, TE Jacob Hollister will continue to be Russell Wilson’s top tight end target.
