Jermaine Gresham (heel) questionable for Sunday
Jermaine Gresham is questionable for Sunday’s matchup with the 49ers due to a heel injury. If he is unable to go it would mean a few extra targets for Ricky Seals-Jones, who would handle the primary reps out of the tight end position.
Dante Pettis (knee) will play Sunday
Dante Pettis will play Sunday, coming off of a knee injury that kept him out weeks 3-7. With Pierre Garcon doubtful to suit up Sunday for the 49ers, look for Pettis to be as involved as his knee can handle, with Marquise Goodwin and George Kittle still seeing the majority of the targets from QB C.J. Beathard.
Pierre Garcon (shoulder) doubtful for Sunday
In accordance with yesterday’s report which suggested he wouldn’t suit up this weekend, Pierre Garcon is officially doubtful for Sunday due to a shoulder injury. Fellow wideout Dante Pettis will make his return coming off of a knee injury that sidelined him weeks 3-7, and will likely pick up some of the target share vacated by Garcon. Marquise Goodwin and George Kittle will see the heaviest target share for the 49ers.
Matt Breida (ankle) questionable for Sunday
Matt Breida is officially questionable for Sunday due to an ankle injury. If he is unable to suit up, look for Raheem Mostert to see the bulk of the carries out of the 49ers backfield, with Alfred Morris serving in a change-of-pace capacity.
Josh Gordon (hamstring) and Rob Gronkowski (back) both limited again Friday for the Patriots
Josh Gordon (hamstring) and Rob Gronkowski (back) were both limited again Friday for the Patriots. At this point they both seem more likely than not to suit up and see their usual workload Monday night against the Bills, but keep an eye on their weekend practice status to ensure they don’t have any setbacks.
Other tagged players: Rob Gronkowski Sony Michel (knee) doesn't practice again Friday
Sony Michel didn’t practice again Friday due to a knee injury, and is unlikely to play on Monday night against the Bills. Look for Kenjon Barner to handle the majority of the early down work, with James White seeing his usual workload in both the run and pass game.
Theo Riddick (knee) out Sunday
Theo Riddick is officially out Sunday due to a knee injury. Look for Kerryon Johnson to see the most carries out of the Lions backfield, with LeGarrette Blount seeing most of the goal line work and Ameer Abdullah functioning in a change-of-pace role.
Dalvin Cook (hamstring) out Sunday
As expected, Dalvin Cook has officially been ruled out Sunday due to his hamstring injury. Latavius Murray will lead the charge out of the Vikings backfield in Cook’s absence in what figures to be a high scoring Sunday night matchup with the Saints.
Marlon Mack (ankle) and Zach Pascal (head) questionable for Sunday for the Colts
Marlon Mack (ankle) and Zach Pascal (head) are both questionable for Sunday for the Colts. Mack is coming off of a huge week 7 where he compiled 159 all purpose yards and 2 TDs, so keep an eye on his status Sunday morning as he will look to build on a solid effort if he is able to suit up. If he sits, Nyheim Hines figures to lead the charge out of the Colts backfield. With fellow WR Ryan Grant out, Pascal may be in line for a few more targets than usual if he is able to suit up also, although the return of Jack Doyle limits his upside regardless. Keep an eye on Sunday morning news for further clarity on both players.
Other tagged players: Zach Pascal Jack Doyle (hip) will play Sunday
As expected based on his practice participation this week, Jack Doyle will play Sunday against the Raiders, returning from the hip injury that kept him out weeks 3-7. Look for Doyle to split targets with Eric Ebron out of the tight end position, and reclaim his position as one of QB Andrew Luck’s favorite targets. Doyle’s return obviously hurts the value of Ebron, who had excelled when both Doyle and T.Y. Hilton were out with injuries.
WR Allen Robinson (groin) questionable for Week 8
The Bears wideout practiced again today so he’s tentatively expected to suit up, though it’s possible his groin could be affecting his play as he was also questionable for last week’s game with the ongoing injury and had just 1 catch for 4 yards. The Jets have actually been impressive against wide receivers this year as well, making Robinson that much tougher of a play this week if he does suit up.

WR Randall Cobb questionable for Sunday; WR Geronimo Allison will play
Allison could resume his WR2 duties while Cobb seems to be on the right side of questionable for his slot role on Sunday against the Rams. Despite their returns, rookie Marquez Valdes-Scantling has probably earned more snaps which could lower the value for either or both receivers moving forward, even when healthy.
As reported by: Rob Demovsky Other tagged players: Geronimo Allison RB Royce Freeman (ankle) ruled out for Week 8
The rookie back has a high ankle sprain and may miss time beyond Week 8. Phillip Lindsay will handle lead duties against a generous Chiefs rush defense while Devontae Booker is expected to mix in as well. Both should be considered at reasonable prices for their expected roles on Sunday, with Lindsay having RB1 upside.
Other tagged players: Phillip Lindsay, Devontae Booker WR Jamison Crowder ruled out Sunday; WR Paul Richardson Jr. and RB Chris Thompson are questionable
With Crowder out again, Richardson and Thompson would be welcomed back as 2 of the top 3 passing options on the team, the other being Jordan Reed who is down to $4,500 on DraftKings heading into an unimposing matchup with a Giants pass defense that’s traditionally been generous to the tight end position. With Thompson getting in limited practices all week, he is expected back, though game flow could better suit Adrian Peterson again with the Redskins being favored.
As reported by: @Redskins Other tagged players: Paul Richardson, Chris Thompson WR Torrey Smith (knee) ruled out for Week 8
With Smith being somewhat productive of late, look for fellow wideouts Jarius Wright and D.J. Moore to see more snaps and potentially a target or two more as a result.
