Greg Dortch, WR, ARI: Hamstring — ActiveImpact: Despite being a late-week add to the injury report, he will play. There’s no need to reach for the likes of Michael Wilson. Xavier Weaver is a healthy inactive.
John Stephens Jr., TE, DAL: Hamstring — InactiveImpact: Meanwhile, Jake Ferguson was removed from the injury report and will handle the TE1 duties for Dallas.
Isaiah Williams, WR, DET: Abdomen — InactiveImpact: In positive news, Amon-Ra St. Brown (quad) looks to be good to go.
Davis Allen, TE, LAR: Back — OUTImpact: Colby Parkinson has even less competition for passing targets in this depleted Rams offense.
Joshua Karty, K, LAR: Groin — ActiveImpact: Tanner Brown was not elevated from the practice squad.
Cooper Kupp, WR, LAR: Ankle — OUTImpact: Kupp avoided joining Puka Nacua on IR, but he’s not likely to play for a few more weeks. Demarcus Robinson leads a motley crew of WR options.
Raheem Mostert, RB, MIA: Chest — InactiveImpact: Jeff Wilson Jr. might get a few looks behind lead back De’Von Achane.
Malik Washington, WR, MIA: Quad — InactiveImpact: Braxton Berrios gets at least one more week of action as Miami’s WR3.
Kenneth Walker III, RB, SEA: Oblique — InactiveImpact: It’s Zach Charbonnet, all the way.
Pharaoh Brown, TE, SEA: Foot — ActiveImpact: Noah Fant (toe) is not at 100% either, but will likely be the top TE option over Brown.
Deebo Samuel Sr. , WR, SF: Calf — OUTImpact: Jauan Jennings will get the start to complement Brandon Aiyuk.
George Kittle , TE, SF: Hamstring — OUTImpact: Eric Saubert will replace him in the huddle, but he shouldn’t be anywhere near your fantasy lineups.
Sunday night game

Keenan Allen, WR, CHI: Heel — OUTImpact: Rome Odunze (knee) is not on the injury report, so he and DJ Moore should both see a lot of targets.
Travis Homer, RB, CHI: Finger — OUT/IRImpact: Khalil Herbert backs up D’Andre Swift with Roschon Johnson now in the mix.
David Njoku, TE, CLE: Ankle — OUTImpact: Jordan Akins will step in as starter, but the Browns probably will avoid the TE position in their game plan.
Pierre Strong Jr., RB, CLE: Hamstring — OUTImpact: D’Onta Foreman will, at a minimum, get all of the backup RB workload behind Jerome Ford.
Devaughn Vele, WR, DEN: Ribs — InactiveImpact: He was cleared to play, but the team is being cautious with him. Josh Reynolds and Courtland Sutton will be the top WR options.
Jordan Love, QB, GB: Knee — InactiveImpact: The lack of clarity coming out of Green Bay always seemed to point to another week of Malik Willis.
Joe Mixon, RB, HOU: Ankle — OUTImpact: Cam Akers will start for the Texans …
Dameon Pierce, RB, HOU: Hamstring — OUTImpact: … with Dare Ogunbowale getting some passing-down looks.
Michael Pittman Jr., WR, IND: Back — ActiveImpact: He didn’t practice Friday, but he is able to suit up Sunday.
Justin Herbert, QB, LAC: Ankle — ActiveImpact: He’s going to start, but nobody will be surprised to see either Taylor Heinicke or Easton Stick under center at some point Sunday. Be careful.
Joshua Palmer, WR, LAC: Elbow — InactiveImpact: Simi Fehoko? Brenden Rice? Nah.
Jordan Addison, WR, MIN: Ankle — OUTImpact: Justin Jefferson (quad) is fine. Jalen Nailor is the locked-in WR2 for the Vikings.
Graham Gano, K, NYG: Hamstring — OUTImpact: Greg Joseph beat out Jude McAtamney in a competition this week to see who would take over kicking duties.
Taysom Hill, TE, NO: Chest — InactiveImpact: Foster Moreau should see an uptick in usage.
A.J. Brown, WR, PHI: Hamstring — OUTImpact: This leaves DeVonta Smith and … maybe Britain Covey as the top WR options for the Eagles.
Russell Wilson, QB, PIT: Calf — InactiveImpact: Once again, we have Justin Fields as the QB1 and Wilson as the emergency QB3.
MyCole Pruitt, TE, PIT: Knee — OUTImpact: Maybe this impacts RB Najee Harris?
Tyjae Spears, RB, TEN: Ankle — ActiveImpact: He’s going to play and could well begin to eat into Tony Pollard‘s workload.
