DFS Alerts
Carlos Hyde could make Jaguars debut Sunday
Carlos Hyde could reportedly make Jaguars debut Sunday, despite his obviously limited amount of time to learn the playbook after being traded to the team on Friday. If Hyde plays, it is likely that he is only used sporadically to get T.J. Yeldon a breather here or there, so he is not a recommended week 7 DFS play. That said, his ability to suit up does slightly decrease Yeldon’s projected workload against the Texans.
Julian Edelman (heel), Josh Gordon (hamstring) and Sony Michel (knee) all expected to play Sunday
As expected, Julian Edelman (heel), Josh Gordon (hamstring) and Sony Michel (knee) are all expected to play Sunday for the Patriots. It is worth noting though that TE Rob Gronkowski was expected to play as well until he suddenly didn’t travel with the team to Chicago yesterday, so it is encouraging to hear the rest of the questionable offensive weapons will be active. Expect a few extra targets for Edelman and Gordon in the absence of Gronkowski.

Pierre Garcon is expected to play Sunday despite shoulder and knee injuries. Garcon should be in line for his usual workload, and will continue to try to build chemistry with QB C.J. Beathard as the 49ers square off with the Rams.
Allen Robinson (groin) expected to play Sunday
Allen Robinson is expected to play Sunday despite his groin injury. Look for Robinson to see his usual allotment of targets, and for the Bears to rely on their passing game more heavily than usual if they’re trying to keep up with the Patriots on Sunday.
Adrian Peterson (ankle, shoulder) expected to play Sunday
Adrian Peterson is expected to play Sunday despite ankle and shoulder injuries. With Chris Thompson appearing unlikely to suit up again this week, Peterson figures to be in for as heavy of a workload as he can handle against the Cowboys. Look for Kapri Bibbs to serve as the change-of-pace back in Thompson’s absence, but Peterson will get the bulk of the early down work. That said, he was a difficult matchup today against a strong Cowboys defense.
Rob Gronkowski (back) is "highly unlikely" to play Sunday
Rob Gronkowski did not travel with the Patriots to Chicago, and is reportedly “highly unlikely” to play Sunday. Gronk’s absence opens up additional targets for Julian Edelman, Josh Gordan and Chris Hogan, although it is worth noting that Gronkowski’s target share has been lighter this season than in years past. Dwayne Allen should fill the backup TE duties, although the biggest beneficiaries of Gronkowski’s absence are the Patriots wide receivers.
Melvin Gordon (hamstring) downgraded to questionable for Sunday - to be a game-time decision
Melvin Gordon has been downgraded to questionable and will be a game-time decision for Sunday’s matchup with the Titans due to a hamstring injury. As in any case, a players’ injury designation trending downward as the week progresses is never a good sign, and Gordon appears truly questionable for week 7. The good news is Gordon’s potential absence does not have a big impact on the DFS slate due to the game being played in London at 9:30 AM EST Sunday morning. That said, for any Thursday-Monday slates, Showdown slates, etc Austin Ekeler would be a great value if Gordon doesn’t suit up.
Calvin Ridley (ankle) and Mohamed Sanu (hip) not listed on final injury report, will play Monday night
Per the earlier report, Calvin Ridley (ankle) and Mohamed Sanu (hip) are not listed on the Falcons final injury report and will play Monday night. Expect the Falcons passing attack to be all systems go for their Monday night showdown with the Giants, with the usual target distributions for the primary pass-catchers.
Other tagged players: Mohamed Sanu Jets are releasing WR Terrelle Pryor
Adam Schefter reports that the Jets have parted ways with Pryor for now but may bring him back once he returns to full health. With Quincy Enunwa sidelined, the Jets will depend on Robby Anderson and Jermaine Kearse for at least the next couple weeks. The Jets are still a low-volume passing offense so we still shouldn’t expect huge numbers from either receiver despite the bump.

WRs Calvin Ridley (ankle) and Mohamed Sanu (hip) both expected to play in Week 7
Both wideouts practiced for the second consecutive day on Saturday and are on track to suit up Monday night against the Giants. Matt Ryan should have all his weapons available facing a below average Giants pass defense.

Theo Riddick OUT for Sunday's Game
Lions list Theo Riddick as out, Ziggy Ansah and TJ Lang as questionable for Sunday. Kerryon Johnson could see more time or this could be an evenly divided workload between multiple people. Stay tuned as this unfolds.

Browns are trading RB Carlos Hyde to Jacksonville, source tells ESPN. Bombshell out of Cleveland. Nick Chubb looks to be in line for some decent work moving forward

Marshawn Lynch Out at least a Month with an injury. More details on the Oakland RB timeshare to come
As reported by: Ian Rapoport Twitter TY Hilton (hamstring) is a full go for Week 7
The Colts’ WR1 will play on Sunday against the Bills which should open things up more for Andrew Luck. With Ryan Grant being out, fellow wideout Chester Rogers should remain a factor and he’ll avoid Tre’Davious White with Hilton back. Hilton himself still seems like nothing more than a contrarian play at his price, given his long layoff from injury and the aforementioned tough one-on-one matchup.
