There are six teams playing on Monday or Tuesday, and those teams filed their injury listings this afternoon. Those include some notable names.
A.J. Brown for the Titans, for starters. They’re calling him questionable, but he was a full participant at practice on Saturday. I think he’s not only going to play, he’s going to be used extensively. Tennessee likely will have to play without both of their other main receivers, Corey Davis and Adam Humphries (who are on the COVID-reserve list). Kalif Raymond should be their other start. Brown and tight end Jonnu Smith, in my opinion, will see plenty of balls.
Similarly in that same game, the Bills are calling Zack Moss (toe) questionable. But Moss was a full participant at practice today. I think he’s playing (making Devin Singletary more of a time-share guy rather than a workhorse-type back).
Buffalo says John Brown is questionable (interestingly, they’ve been saying all week that he had a calf injury, but they switched it to a knee today). He’s practiced some the last three days, but the Bills have plenty of other wide receivers that they’ve been using.
For the first Monday night game, it’s not sure who’ll be starting at quarterback – for both teams. Denver probably will have Drew Lock (shoulder); he was a limited participant at practice all week. For the Patriots, they’re not saying if Cam Newton will be activated off the COVID-reserve list. Most guessers in the media are speculating that he will be. (Leave it to Bill Belichick to be the first to use COVID-19 as a competitive tool, leaving the Broncos guessing whether they’ll be facing Newton or one of New England’s less-mobile quarterbacks.)
The Patriots say Julian Edelman is questionable, but they always say that, and he always plays.
The Chargers will be without two of their starting offensive linemen: Bryan Bulaga and Trai Turner. They say Mike Williams (hamstring) is questionable; Williams was a limited participant in practice the last two days – with it being a hamstring, I wouldn’t be interested in using Williams in a fantasy lineup.
The Saints say Jared Cook and Michael Thomas are questionable. Supposedly, they were limited participants in practice all week. I feel the same about those guys as I have all week. My expectation is they’ll hold them out, giving them a better opportunity of being something close to 100 percent when the team returns from its Week 6 bye.
