Broncos RT Ja'Wuan James (Knee) Unlikely to Play Against Titans
With James out, this is a slight downgrade to the Broncos offense and slight upgrade to the Titans DST.
As reported by: Ian Rappaport
Texans WR Kenny Stills (Hamstring) is Out Vs. Chiefs
Stills will miss another game, meaning Will Fuller may see a few extra downfield targets and Keke Coutee will see a large increase in snaps. Coutee couldn’t take advantage in last week’s shootout vs. the Falcons, totaling three catches on four targets for 72 yards. Coutee is a viable cheap GPP option in another potential shootout this week, as the Texans are implied to score 24.75 points and Coutee has already been a slate-breaker once in his young career (2018 against the Colts).

Despite practicing all week, the Pro Bowl corner is probably sitting the anti-Super Bowl out against the Redskins. Because Howard frequently shadows the opposing team’s top receiver, this directly benefits Terry McLaurin. The Dolphins are at the bottom of the league in many defensive metrics, and McLaurin becomes a better play if the Dolphins’ best defensive player sits. McLaurin is not priced too cheaply, which will make him likely a lower-owned tournament option. He is viable in stacks with QB Case Keenum or as a one-off.

With Smith out again, the Cowboys may have a slightly tougher time in the running game and pass protection.
As reported by: Ian Rappaport Other tagged players: Dak Prescott, Ezekiel Elliott Chiefs WR Tyreek Hill Trending Towards Playing Today
Hill has a good chance to take the field today. Be sure to monitor his status until kickoff. Hill would make an excellent GPP play against the beatable Texans secondary.
As reported by: Ian Rappaport Other tagged players: Mecole Hardman, Travis Kelce, Byron Pringle, Demarcus Robinson, Patrick Mahomes, Damien Williams Saints RB Alvin Kamara Expected to Play Today Barring Setback
Kamara is expected to play today, and because he was such a late addition to the injury report he could see depressed ownership in GPPs. Be sure to monitor his status up until kickoff.
As reported by: Ian Rappaport Other tagged players: Latavius Murray, Teddy Bridgewater Ravens WR Marquise “Hollywood” Brown (Ankle) not Expected to Play Today Against Bengals
With Brown unlikely to play, Miles Boykin, Willie Snead, and Mark Andrews will see more opportunity against the Bengals. Boykin is the biggest beneficiary, and he is a solid GPP option because of his dirt cheap price tag, big-play potential, and matchup against the 31st ranked defense in pass DVOA.
As reported by: Ian Rappaport Other tagged players: Miles Boykin, Willie Snead, Mark Andrews, Lamar Jackson Cardinals RB David Johnson (Back) Will Play Today Barring Setback
David Johnson will probably play today, meaning Chase Edmonds chalk week is unlikely to happen. Check on Johnson’s status heading into the afternoon, and have contingency options should he suffer a setback pregame.
As reported by: Ian Rappaport Other tagged players: Kyler Murray, Chase Edmonds Chargers TE Hunter Henry (Knee) has a Good Chance to Play Tonight
Henry will likely see a gradual increase in snaps as he works his way back to 100%. Henry is viable for single-game and prime time contests, but he carries risk since we don’t know how much he will be involved.
As reported by: Ian Rappaport Other tagged players: Virgil Green, Keenan Allen, Mike Williams, Austin Ekeler, Philip Rivers 49ers TE George Kittle (Hamstring) Expected to Play Today
Kittle will likely suit up today, but there are reportedly concerns about him “finishing the game”. Keep an eye out for his pregame status. Kittle may see decreased ownership in tournaments due to his injury, making him a great GPP play if he is a full-go.
As reported by: Ian Rappaport Other tagged players: Jimmy Garoppolo Dolphins WR Jakeem Grant (Hamstring) Out Against Redskins
Look for the Speedster’s targets to be disbursed among the rest of the Miami pass catchers against a very beatable Redskins defense.

Williams will return to the Packers on Monday Night after practicing in full on Saturday and clearing concussion protocol. He should cut into the workload of Aaron Jones, who broke the slate last week with a four-touchdown performance in Dallas. Williams is viable for single-game and prime time tournaments.
As reported by: LTFF News Other tagged players: Aaron Jones Saints RB Alvin Kamara (Ankle) Traveled to Jacksonville with the Team
Kamara, who is questionable for tomorrow’s game Vs. Jacksonville, went to Jacksonville with the Saints, which bodes well for his chances to play. Kamara may go underowned in GPPs from his injury designation, making him a potentially sneaky option against a Jags defense that Christian McCaffrey just destroyed last week for 247 total yards and three scores.
As reported by: Mike Triplett Other tagged players: Latavius Murray Chargers WR Andre Patton Downgraded to Doubtful
With Patton out in all likelihood, the Chargers activated WR Jason Moore from the practice squad. Moore is nothing more than a punt for Sunday Night Football Showdown GPPs.
As reported by: Eric Williams Other tagged players: Jason Moore Rams CB Aqib Talib and LB Clay Matthews Out Vs. 49ers
The Rams will be without Pro Bowlers Talib and Matthews in their tilt vs. the 49ers on Sunday. The rotation of 49ers wide receivers should have a little easier time shaking free against the Rams secondary.
