Big Workload
After we just saw Aaron Jones dominate the Cowboys, we get Le’Veon Bell, who has struggled to get things going in the rushing game but has been heavily involved in the passing game. Darnold is making his return and should help this offense be a little more efficient moving the ball. This could help the run game, and Bell may finally be able to get something going on the ground.
Damiere Byrd (Hamstring) Questionable Sunday
Byrd has missed the past two games and is questionable for Sunday. He was limited all week, so there is a good chance Byrd won’t play.

Giants Sign Javorius "Buck" Allen, Waive Jon Hilliman
Jon Hilliman got his opportunity over the past three weeks with the Giants having multiple RB injuries, but only managed to gain 3.0 yards per carry with 2 fumbles. The Giants waived Hilliman and signed veteran Javorius ‘Buck’ Allen. While Allen isn’t a flashy option, he is reliable and will serve as a solid backup as the main RB’s get healthy for New York.
As reported by: Ian Rapoport Other tagged players: Javorius Allen Chris Godwin (Hip) Will Play Sunday
Godwin does not have an injury designation on the final injury report of the week for the Bucs, meaning he will be playing Sunday.
As reported by: Tampa Bay Buccaneers George Kittle (Groin) Questionable, Expected to Play Sunday
Kittle was limited Friday with a groin injury and is officially listed as questionable. However, he is expected to play Sunday.
As reported by: Matt Maiocco Vernon Davis (Concussion), Jordan Reed (Concussion) Both Out Sunday
As expected, both Vernon Davis and Jordan Reed have been ruled out for Sunday. Jeremy Sprinkle will be the top TE for the Redskins Sunday.

Goodwin was excused from practice Friday, but he is expected to play on Sunday for the 49’ers.
As reported by: Matt Maiocco Danny Amendola (Chest) Limited, T.J. Hockenson (Concussion) Full Practice Participant Friday
The Lions could be without two of their top offensive weapons, with Amendola limited in practice and Hockenson still in the concussion protocol.
As reported by: Dave Birkett Other tagged players: T.J. Hockenson, Matthew Stafford Rashaad Penny (Hamstring) Questionable Sunday, Chris Carson (Shoulder) Off Injury Report
Penny was added to the injury report Thursday and heads into the weekend with a questionable designation for Sunday. C.J. Prosise would move into the RB2 role if Penny is out. Carson progressed enough to be completely removed from the injury report, meaning he will play Sunday.
As reported by: Bob Condotta Other tagged players: Chris Carson, C.J. Prosise Josh Bellamy (Shoulder), Demaryius Thomas (Hamstring/Knee) Both Questionable for Sunday
Both Bellamy and Thomas are questionable but likely to play. While Bellamy is at the bottom of the WR depth chart, Thomas is the number 2 option and will benefit from the return of Sam Darnold.
As reported by: Ralph Vacchiano Other tagged players: Demaryius Thomas, Sam Darnold Randall Cobb (Back) Questionable Sunday
Cobb is questionable Sunday with a back injury. He hasn’t missed a game this season and has a nice role as the WR3 in the Cowboys’ offense. Tavon Austin and Ventell Bryant could see a boost if Cobb is out.
As reported by: David Helman Other tagged players: Tavon Austin, Ventell Bryant David Johnson (Back), Christian Kirk (Ankle) Both Game-Time Decisions Sunday
Both Johnson and Kirk will be game-time decisions Sunday for the Arizona Cardinals. Even if active, both could be looking at reduced work loads given their injuries.
As reported by: Scott Bordow Other tagged players: Christian Kirk Corey Clement Placed on IR, Boston Scott Promoted to Active Roster
Clement played a single snap last week and fumbled a punt. He was placed on IR with a shoulder injury Friday by the Eagles and Boston Scott was signed to replace him.
As reported by: Philadelphia Eagles Other tagged players: Boston Scott Alvin Kamara (Ankle) Questionable, Tre'Quan Smith (Ankle) Out Sunday
Kamara is questionable but expected to play Sunday. Tre’Quan Smith is out Sunday. He returned from injury last week but didn’t receive a target.
As reported by: Amie Just Other tagged players: Tre'Quan Smith Justin Jackson (Calf) Doubtful Sunday
Jackson is doubtful Sunday with a calf injury. The Chargers have both Melvin Gordon and Austin Ekeler healthy, so they’re unlikely to push Jackson.
