Cowboys WR Amari Cooper (Knee/Ankle) is Expected to Play Vs. the Vikings on SNF

Cooper is expected to play against the Vikings on Sunday Night Football. While the Vikings defense is fantastic, it can be exposed in the passing game. While the Vikes rank ninth in pass DVOA, they allow the ninth-most FPs to WRs. The explosive Cooper, who is projected a 26% target share tonight, makes for a fine GPP play for the Fantasy Draft main slate and Showdowns.

Seahawks WR Tyler Lockett, WR Josh Gordon, TE Luke Willson All Upgraded from Questionable and Off Injury Report for MNF

Lockett, Gordon, and Willson were all full participants in practice today. Gordon is likely to make his Seahawks debut on Monday Night Football against the 49ers.

49ers WR Trent Taylor (Foot) not Expected to Play in 2019 Season

Taylor suffered an infection following surgery, and Head Coach Kyle Shanahan said he does not expect the receiver to come back this season. Emmanuel Sanders and George Kittle will likely lead the 49ers in receiving the rest of the way.

49ers RB Raheem Mostert (Knee) is Questionable for Monday Night Football, FB Kyle Juszczyk (Knee) is "Good to Go"

Mostert joins Matt Breida as the 49ers’ questionable backs on the injury report, while Juszczyk is expected back from injury on Monday night.

49ers TE George Kittle (Knee/Ankle), K Robbie Gould (Groin) are Both Doubtful for Monday Night Football

The league’s top tight end will likely be unavailable on Monday Night against the Seahawks. Kittle has been playing through injuries the past few weeks and hasn’t been able to practice all week. Expect the 49ers to potentially sign a tight end and FB Kyle Juszczyk (Knee) to see an expanded receiving role if he can suit up.

49ers K Robbie Gould (Quad) Seen at Practice Today for Monday Night's Game Vs. Seahawks

Gould was seen running and doing some drills during the media portion of the team’s practice. The excellent kicker is truly questionable for Monday Night’s game with a groin injury.

49ers TE George Kittle not Practicing Today Ahead of Monday Night Football

Kittle has yet to practice this week, making him very questionable for Monday Night Football vs. the Seahawks.

Lions QB Matthew Stafford (Hip/Back) is Officially Listed as Questionable, Could Become a Game-Time Decision for Sunday

Stafford may have suffered a setback to his injuries after he initially appeared to be in no danger of missing Sunday’s game. Stafford has been hot lately, with wide receivers Marvin Jones Jr. and Kenny Golladay sharing in Stafford’s productivity. If Stafford can’t start his 137th consecutive game tomorrow, the entire Lions offense would suffer a huge downgrade. The Lions’ ITT and the spread of this game would likely move significantly in the Bears’ favor as well if Stafford sits this one out.

Titans Promote WR Cody Hollister from Practice Squad to Active Roster

The addition of Hollister means that Corey Davis, who is currently doubtful, will likely be inactive tomorrow against the Chiefs. Look for A.J. Brown to see an increased target share with Davis and Delanie Walker sidelined.

Falcons Place RB Ito Smith on Injured Reserve

Smith, who suffered another concussion against the Rams, has been placed on IR. Brian Hill will likely serve as the second fiddle to Devonta Freeman for the rest of the regular season.

Colts Elevate WR Marcus Johnson and QB Chad Kelly to Active Roster, Waive WR Deon Cain and DT Kyle Peko

The Colts added Kelly to back up Brian Hoyer, who will start tomorrow with Jacoby Brisset (MCL) sidelined. Cain, who was a sixth-round draft pick in 2018, hasn’t produced and been able to take advantage of extra playing time when T.Y. Hilton has been injured this season.

Colts QB Jacoby Brissett Downgraded to Out for Sunday's Game Against the Dolphins

Jacoby Brisset sprained his MCL last week vs. the Steelers and will now miss tomorrow’s game at home against the Dolphins. Sites like DraftKings were quick to price up serviceable backup quarterback Brian Hoyer, who will draw the start with Chad Kelly as the Colts’ reserve.

If the double-digit underdog Dolphins can somehow bottle up Colts RB Marlon Mack, Hoyer will have potential to put up points. The Dolphins rank dead last in pass DVOA, dead last in pass DVOA, and next-to-last in rush DVOA. Stacking Hoyer with some cheap pieces of the Colts passing game (T.Y. Hilton has already been ruled out) is viable in GPPs, but carries volume conerns since the Dolphins are allowing the second-lowest pass-to-run ratio in the league.

Bears Cut RB Mike Davis

The Bears cut RB Mike Davis, who they signed as a free agent before the 2019 season. The Bears made this move because of the compensatory pick they may receive and the emergence of rookie RB David Montgomery. Davis will likely be claimed by another NFL team looking for backfield depth.

Value RB Seeing Increased Volume

After Matt Nagy made comments stating the team would look to rely more on the running game, we have seen David Montgomery’s production see a steady increase. Over the last two weeks, he has played 74% and 73% of snaps, and accounted for 71% and 78% of team’s carries. What’s even more encouraging is that he has seen 15% and 19% of targets over the last two weeks, which is a good deal more than he had been seeing throughout the season. The Bears are essentially in pick em, being one-point home favorites against the Lions, but the increase in targets and carries should bode well for Montgomery in a good matchup against the Lions.

WR With Expected Volume Increase

With Preston Williams acting 23% of team’s targets this year, expect Davante Parker to be first in line to fill the void that Williams is leaving. Parker has already been targeted on 20% of team targets so far this year, so anywhere from a 3-5% increase in target share would go along way in increasing his upside.
