1 p.m. ET games
Offense
Chris Moore, WR, BAL: Finger — OUT
Impact: Potential looks for Devin Duvernay/James Proche II.
David Montgomery, RB, CHI: Groin — Questionable
Impact: Practiced late in the week and expected to play fully.
Cordarrelle Patterson, WR, CHI: Knee — Questionable
Impact: Trending towards playing, but not a huge fantasy factor.
Javon Wims, WR, CHI: Achilles — Questionable
Impact: His absence might open up a few looks for Darnell Mooney.
Eddy Pineiro, K, CHI: Groin — OUT
Impact: Placed on IR. Cairo Santos has been activated.
Kenny Golladay, WR, DET: Hamstring — Doubtful
Impact: Marvin Hall could get the start in his stead.
Danny Amendola, WR, DET: Hamstring — Questionable
Impact: Should play. Marvin Jones Jr. is the better Detroit WR pick.
N’Keal Harry, WR, NE: Shoulder — Questionable
Impact: Still likely to see action across from Julian Edelman.
Joe Flacco, QB, NYJ: Neck — OUT
Impact: Expected return is Week 3, when he’ll back up Sam Darnold.
Denzel Mims, WR, NYJ: Hamstring — OUT
Impact: Breshad Perriman/Jamison Crowder/Chris Hogan split WR work.
Miles Sanders, RB, PHI: Hamstring — OUT
Impact: Boston Scott will handle No. 1 RB duties.
Alshon Jeffery, WR, PHI: Foot — OUT
Impact: Still could miss another month. Jalen Reagor gets a shot.
Phillip Dorsett II, WR, SEA: Foot — Questionable
Impact: Not a great option, even if he starts. David Moore may rise.
Defense
Vernon Butler, DT, BUF: Hamstring — Questionable
Josh Norman, CB, BUF: Hamstring — OUT
Robert Quinn, LB, CHI: Ankle — Doubtful
Khalil Mack, LB, CHI: Knee — Questionable
Mack Wilson, LB, CLE: Knee — OUT
Greedy Williams, CB, CLE: Shoulder — OUT
Da’Shawn Hand, DE, DET: Groin — Questionable
Avery Williamson, LB, NYJ: Hamstring — OUT
Marcus Maye, S, NYJ: Calf — Questionable
Javon Hargrave, DT, PHI: Pectoral — OUT
Derek Barnett, DE, PHI: Hamstring — Questionable
Kendall Fuller, CB, WSH: Calf — Doubtful
4 p.m. ET games
Offense
Mike Williams, WR, LAC: Shoulder — Questionable
Impact: Unlikely to play. Even if he did, this is a Tyrod Taylor-led offense. Avoid.
Virgil Green, TE, LAC: Quad — Questionable
Impact: Hunter Henry’s already solid target total may grow.
Deebo Samuel, WR, SF: Foot — OUT
Impact: Kendrick Bourne is the only completely healthy WR on the 49ers roster worth a look.
Brandon Aiyuk, WR, SF: Hamstring — Questionable
Impact: With Samuel on IR, Aiyuk is a starter — assuming that he does indeed play.
Tevin Coleman, RB, SF: Illness — Questionable
Impact: Air quality issues may force a sit. If so, Jerick McKinnon’s value rises.
Mike Evans, WR, TB: Hamstring — Questionable
Impact: Gametime call, but improving late. Justin Watson next in line.
Defense
Geno Atkins, DT, CIN: Shoulder — OUT
Marcus Davenport, DE, NO: Elbow — OUT
