Key Players to Monitor Early
-
Dalton Kincaid, TE, BUF (hamstring): Coach Sean McDermott was non-committal regarding Kincaid’s status for Sunday, making it likely that Dawson Knox will take on the primary TE role.
-
Joshua Palmer, WR, BUF (knee): Gabe Davis and Keon Coleman may see a rise in targets due to Palmer’s situation.
-
Dylan Sampson, RB, CLE (calf): Quinshon Judkins is set to lead the backfield, while Jerome Ford is expected to provide backup support.
-
Blake Grupe, K, IND: The Colts have brought Grupe up from the practice squad after releasing Michael Badgley.
-
Parker Washington, WR, JAX (hip): Should Washington play, he will only be the third WR behind Brian Thomas Jr. and Jakobi Meyers.
-
Chris Olave, WR, NO (back): Olave played last week despite this injury, so he likely will be active again.
-
Marquez Valdes-Scantling, WR, PIT: Recently elevated from the practice squad, he could feature alongside newly signed Adam Thielen, backing up DK Metcalf.
-
Jayden Daniels, QB, WAS (elbow): Daniels received clearance to start for the first time since Week 9.
-
Noah Brown, WR, WAS (groin): Activated from IR, Brown is expected to join Terry McLaurin and Deebo Samuel in the lineup.
Confirmed Out Before Sunday
-
Emari Demercado, RB, ARI (ankle): Expect a significant workload for Bam Knight with Demercado sidelined. Trey Benson (knee) is also out.
-
Greg Dortch, WR, ARI (chest): Dortch has been placed on IR, leading Trent Sherfield Sr. to take his spot from the practice squad.
-
Marvin Harrison Jr., WR, ARI (heel): Michael Wilson will serve as the primary WR this week. Jalen Brooks is also set to take over as a potential No. 2/3 option.
-
Drake London, WR, ATL (knee): London did not practice this week. David Sills V might surprise with another touchdown catch.
-
Rome Odunze, WR, CHI (foot): DJ Moore and Luther Burden III will attempt to keep the Bears’ offense functioning as Odunze takes a breather.
-
Nate Adkins, TE, DEN (knee): Marcedes Lewis will be signed from the practice squad to fill in.
-
MarShawn Lloyd, RB, GB (calf): With Josh Jacobs (knee) cleared to play, he will lead the backfield with Emanuel Wilson supporting him.
-
Michael Mayer, TE, LV (abdomen): The team remains hopeful Mayer can return for the following week.
-
Dont’e Thornton Jr., WR, LV (concussion): Jack Bech is likely to see increased playing time as the No. 3 WR, though this may not significantly affect fantasy standings.
-
Ty Chandler, RB, MIN (knee): With Chandler not activated from IR, Aaron Jones Sr. (shoulder) and Jordan Mason will share the workload.
-
Alvin Kamara, RB, NO (knee): With Kamara unable to practice, Devin Neal will assume the No. 1 RB role for New Orleans.
-
Justin Fields, QB, NYJ (knee): Brady Cook has been elevated from the practice squad to back up Tyrod Taylor.
-
Mike Evans, WR, TB (collarbone): Despite opening his IR window, Evans still requires more recovery time.
-
Jalen McMillan, WR, TB (neck): McMillan also needs additional time for recovery from a preseason injury. Meanwhile, Chris Godwin Jr. (fibula) is cleared and will play.
Late Game Updates to Watch
Matthew Golden, WR, GB (wrist): With Dontayvion Wicks (ankle) off the final injury report and Savion Williams (foot) out, Golden could see action, although he’s a risky start.
Jayden Reed, WR, GB (foot): Having been activated from IR, Reed may play in Week 14, although total commitment from the team hasn’t been confirmed yet.
