DFS Alerts
Josh Gordon inactive Sunday night
Josh Gordon (hamstring) will be inactive Sunday night against the Lions. The Patriots will be rolling out the same receiving corps for at least another week in what should be a high-scoring affair with the Lions, lead by Rob Gronkowski, Chris Hogan and Phillip Dorsett.
Jermaine Gresham Active Sunday
Jermaine Gresham (achilles) will be active Sunday against the Bears. This is a tough defensive matchup for a Cardinals offense that has only managed 6 points on the season thus far, so expectations are limited for the Cardinals passing game. That said, this also hurts the target expectation for Ricky Seals-Jones as well with Gresham active.
Travis Benjamin inactive against the Rams
Travis Benjamin is inactive today against the Rams due to a foot injury. This means more targets for the likes of Keenan Allen, Mike Williams and Tyrell Williams, although expectations should be tempered against a solid Rams secondary this afternoon.
Marcus Mariota active, Blaine Gabbert to start
Marcus Mariota is active this week, but Blaine Gabbert is still set to start. Either way, the Titans offense is in a difficult spot against the infamous Jags defense on the road, so expectations should be low for both QBs.
Other tagged players: Blaine Gabbert Alshon Jeffery inactive, as expected
Per the earlier report, Alshon Jeffery will be inactive this week. This is a boost to Agholar and Ertz in Carson Wentz’s first game of 2018.
Vikings RB Mike Boone active Sunday
Vikings RB Mike Boone will be active Sunday, and serve as the primary backup to Latavius Murray in the absence of Dalvin Cook.
Cam Meredith active Sunday
Cam Meredith will be active Sunday for the Saints. The Saints offense is set up for a potential shootout against Atlanta, but Michael Thomas and Alvin Kamara have seen the vast majority of targets for the Saints offense thus far. It is best to take a wait-and-see approach on Meredith while we get a feel for how involved he will be in the offense.
Bengals RB Thomas Rawls a healthy scratch Sunday, team left with 2 active RBs
With Rawls a healthy scratch Sunday, the Bengals are left with only 2 active RBs on their roster for their matchup against the Panthers. Look for Gio Bernard to get a heavy workload as both rusher and pass catcher, making him an excellent play today – especially in PPR settings.
Spencer Ware (knee) active Sunday
Spencer Ware will be active Sunday for the Chiefs. Still expect Kareem Hunt to get the bulk of the workload at RB, but Ware may get some looks as a change of pace back when Hunt is getting a breather.
Aaron Rodgers active vs. Redskins, as expected
Per the report earlier in the day, Rodgers will be active today vs Washington.
Bills list Chris Ivory as starter Sunday
Chris Ivory will replace Lesean McCoy as the Bills lead RB Sunday against the Vikings. Ivory and the rest of the Bills offense should be avoided in this matchup.
Yeldon active, Fournette inactive as expected
Per the earlier report, TJ Yeldon is active and Leonard Fournette is inactive today for Jacksonville. Yeldon should expect a healthy workload, and Bortles will be throwing more passes than usual without his workhorse RB active.
Other tagged players: T.J. Yeldon Corey Clement officially active Sunday
Per the earlier report, Clement is officially active Sunday.
DeVante Parker ACTIVE for Dolphins Sunday
DeVante Parker will make his 2018 debut Sunday against the Raiders. Parker will immediately step in as one of the primary receiving threats for Miami, and will look to take advantage of a weak Raiders pass defense. Parker being active means a likely decline in targets for Kenny Stills, as well as the rest of the Dolphins passing options.
Marquise Goodwin ACTIVE for week 3
Marquise Goodwin is set to suit up today against the Chiefs. Goodwin makes for an interesting GPP target against a very susceptible Chiefs secondary in a game the 49ers should have to pass and pass often – however, the concern of a speedy deep threat being slowed by a leg injury combined with the 49ers inconsistent target distribution makes him a volatile play.
