As reported by: Daniel Popper
Chargers WR Keenan Allen is Active Today
Allen will suit up, but is on a snap count in a difficult matchup. He is a good fade in all formats today.
As reported by: Daniel Popper Saints WR Tre'Quan Smith, RB Alvin Kamara are Both Inactive Today
Smith will miss another game, while Kamara is inactive as expected.
As reported by: Luke Johnson Jaguars WR Dede Westbrook Active Today Vs. Jets
Westbrook is active today, as expected.
As reported by: Field Yates Saints RB Alvin Kamara (Ankle/Knee) not Expected to Play Today Against Cardinals
Latavius Murray, who smashed last week in a much tougher matchup in Chicago, becomes an elite play in all formats if Kamara is inactive.
As reported by: Adam Schefter Other tagged players: Latavius Murray Jaguars WR Dede Westbrook (Shoulder/Neck) Expected to Play Vs. Jets
Westbrook expected to play against the Jets today. Westbrook has drawn 28 targets over the last three weeks and will be heavily involved. We have him projected for a 22% target share..
As reported by: Adam Schefter Other tagged players: Chris Conley, DJ Chark Packers S Darnell Savage (Ankle), LB Blake Martinez (Wrist/Hand) Expected to Play Tonight Vs. Chiefs
Savage is officially a game-time decision but likely to go. Martinez should play as well, barring a setback. This overall is a big boost to the Green Bay defense for tonight against Matt Moore and the Kansas City Chiefs.
As reported by: Ian Rappaport Cardinals RB David Johnson (Ankle) is Unlikely to Play Today
With Johnson out, Chase Edmonds will have another shot to break the slate today, after he totaled 150-yards, 29 touches, and 3 touchdowns in Week 7 despite Johnson being active. However, today’s road matchup is much tougher. The Saints are double-digit home favorites and play at the third-slowest situation-neutral pace in football. Although Edmonds should be on the field for almost every snap as he was last week at 96.6%, he is more viable for tournaments than cash especially due to his price hike across the industry.

Roby is out and fellow CB Johnathan Joseph is questionable, meaning the Texans could be very shorthanded vs. the Raiders passing game.
As reported by: Ian Rappaport Raiders RB Josh Jacobs (Shoulder), WR Tyrell Williams (Foot). OT Trent Brown (Calf) All Expected to Play Today Vs. Texans
The Raiders appear to be getting healthy, with Tyrell Williams likely to return from his foot injury. Jacobs should continue to carry a heavy load if he plays as the Raiders look to keep Deshaun Watson on the sidelines.

Allen will reportedly be on a snap count even if he plays, which should lead to more targets for Hunter Henry, Austin Ekeler, and Mike Williams. They are more intriguing plays today, though the pace of this game could easily be one of the slowest on the slate.

The Schefter late-night news dump notes that both Alvin Kamara and David Johnson will sit on Sunday, while Keenan Allen is more on the doubtful side. With Kamara out, Latavius Murray will continue his workhorse usage as a near every-down back for one more game, making him a very strong $/point target on both major sites. He’s a viable target in any format, as is Chase Edmonds who will once again see the lion’s share of the Cardinals RB snaps. Given the spread/projected game flow, Murray is the safer target of the two. Keenan Allen still has a shot to suit up, but it’s sounding like he’s a little closer to doubtful. If he can’t go, Hunter Henry and Mike Williams will become the top two targets with Austin Ekeler also likely to see a spike in usage as both a pass-catcher and runner. The Chargers do have one of the week’s lower team totals, but all three players are squarely on the GPP radar with Keenan Allen’s massive targets share likely out of the picture.

Chargers OL Russell Okung Will Play Tomorrow on Snap Count
The Chargers will get a nice boost offensively with their star tackle back on the field on Sunday.
As reported by: Eric Williams Saints Promote WR Krishawn Hogan to Practice Squad, Waive WR Lil’Jordan Humphrey
Hogan is a name to keep an eye on, as we have seen the Saints make pass catchers like Dan Arnold, Austin Carr, and Keith Kirkwood fantasy relevant players in recent seasons.

Matthews was released as a result of the trade for Emmanuel Sanders.
