Sunday morning injury updates

Sutton active for Denver, Parker for Miami

The Sunday morning injury updates are filtering in, and no real surprises yet. The Cowboys are banged-up on the offensive line, the Broncos are down a running back (but will have their best wideout), and other news that were factored into the Friday Update.

  • Courtland Sutton (shoulder) is active for the Broncos. You can maybe worry a bit about a setback in-game, but looks like he's fine to use unless you're benching a comparable, fully healthy option. It's a slight downgrade for the other Denver pass catchers, but the Broncos will probably have to throw more than they'd like.

  • No Phillip Lindsay (toe) for Denver, so Melvin Gordon should play close to full-time, with Royce Freeman the change of pace. Tough matchup for the ground game at Pittsburgh.

  • DeVante Parker (hamstring) is active for Miami. As with Sutton, I think you maybe consider sitting him if you have a comparable player in the rankings who's fully healthy.

  • Golden Tate (hamstring) is active for the Giants. I don't think anyone actually wants to use Tate, but it lowers the appeal of the team's other pass catchers.

  • LT Tyron Smith (neck) is inactive for Dallas. That leaves them without both regular starting tackles. Atlanta doesn't have a great defense, but it should have some opportunities to get pressure on Dak Prescott. Smith is week to week, so will be interesting to see how Dallas fares; they might not have that duo for the next couple of weeks either. Same game, Atlanta will have left tackle Jake Matthews (knee); he's active.

  • Gerald Everett (back) is active for the Rams. He's going to be in a clear secondary role to Tyler Higbee, but there's at least some potential for him to show up and steal a target or two.
