9:30 a.m. ET London game
Zay JonesWR, JAX — Questionable
Impact: He has been out since week 2 but may finally be able to return to action. Even when active, it’s a risky fantasy piece.
Play at 1 p.m. ET
Justice HillRB, BAL — Questionable
Impact: Limited in practice, but action could follow Gus Edwards if he can play.
Odell Beckham Jr., WR, BAL — Questionable
Impact: The veteran says he can play. WR Rashod Bateman has been removed from the injury report and is starting.
Jahmyr GibbsRB, DET — Doubtful
Impact: The late downgrade is to be expected David Montgomery have a huge day.
Amon-Ra St. BrownWR, DET — Doubtful
Effects: Josh Reynolds And Caliph Raymond will likely start at WR for the Lions, although Reynolds is questionable with a groin injury. Jameson Williams can also be pushed into action, although his conditioning (or rather lack thereof following his suspension) limits his snaps.
John Metchie IIIWR, HOU — Questionable
Impact: If healthy, he could challenge Robert Woods for some goals.
Jonathan TaylorRB, IND — Activated from the PUP list
Impact: He is expected to play, but he may only get a quick count to help get him back into action.
Rhamondre StevensonRB, NE — Questionable
Impact: Despite having limited practice all week, he is expected to play.
Juwan JohnsonTE, NO — OUT OF
Effects: Jimmy Graham And Foster Moreau Some additional targets may appear.
Derek CarrQB, NO — Questionable
Impact: His shoulder is obviously still bothering him, but he played in Week 4. Expect him to start at least this week.
Saquon BarkleyRB, NYG — Questionable
Impact: He’s reportedly getting closer, but not ready yet. Matt Breida hasn’t done much in the weeks that Barkley has already been out.
Pat FreiermuthTE, PIT — OUT OF
Impact: Not a surprise given the bye week coming up. Darnell Washington will begin in his place.
Treylon BurksWR, TEN — OUT OF
Effects: Kyle Philips returns from IR and will look to fill the void.
4 p.m. ET games
Keaontay IngramRB, ARI — Questionable
Effect: When he sits, Emari Demercado And Corey Clement would resign James Conner.
T-shirt HigginsWR, CIN — Questionable
Impact: He is not expected to play. Kwamie Lassiter II was called up from the training squad.
Javonte WilliamsRB, DEN — Questionable
Impact: Although he says he’s doing well, a hip injury doesn’t bode well for playing time. He is a game time crier. Jaleel McLaughlin could be given the opportunity to take on lead-back duties.
Cooper KuppWR, LAR — Activated via IR
Impact: He is expected to play without restrictions. Puka Nacua And Tutu Atwell Both should see less work than they saw, but not necessarily much less.
Rashaad PennyRB, PHI — Doubtful
Impact: He’s been a healthy inactive several times this season, the fact that he’s dealing with an illness just gives Philadelphia a real reason to play this time around.
Game on Sunday evening
Elijah MitchellRB, SF — OUT OF
Impact: He could definitely be out for some time. Jordan Mason will be the backup Christian McCaffrey.
