Sunday morning injury updates

Montgomery expected to play, St. Brown?

The injury updates are coming in, and no big surprises that I've seen, but some meaningful presences. And of course, there's a game that kicks off at 9:30 a.m. Eastern time, in London, between the Packers and Giants, so make those decisions promptly.

  • David Montgomery is expected to play for Chicago. The Friday rankings showed where Montgomery and Khalil Herbert would rank if Montgomery is active -- not as favorably, since it could be more of a one-two punch than usual.

  • Amon-Ra St. Brown is uncertain to play for Detroit. Adam Schefter reports the Lions will test things out in pregame warmups. That's one that will need to be monitored closely; not certain he'll be active. St. Brown on Friday was also ranked where he'd be if playing.

  • Washington has activated Brian Robinson off IR. He'll be active for today's game. No one should be expecting a heavy-duty workload; I have Robinson on several benches, and won't be starting him. But if you're desperate, there's at least a chance h gets 10-12 carries and maybe a chance near the goal-line for the feel-good emotion of it all.

  • Schefter is reporting the Bengals will have Tee Higgins and Hayden Hurst available in the Sunday night game against the Ravens.

  • Dolphins wideouts Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle are expected to play for the Dolphins.

  • CeeDee Lamb is expected to play for Dallas, and so is Tony Pollard. Both guys traveled with the team. If you have similarly ranked players who are fully healthy, reasonable to pivot to them, but they should be on the field.

  • Alvin Kamara (rib) should start for the Saints.

If I see other significant injury developments before 1 p.m. Eastern, I'll post in the comments below.

Does a healthy Hill and Waddle push Teddy past David Carr + Lawerence?

You have Curtis Samuel ranked above Lamb. Do you still like Samuel more than Lamb?

McKenzie, Julio, and Logan Thomas out.

We knew Dotson was out when the Friday rankings were published.

Of course you did.But you didn't know if Lamb was going to play.That is Greg's question not mine.I don't ask who to start.I use your rankings.

Look in the rankings. They show Shakir both ways.

Which player is more likely to have a big (boom) game - Aiyuk or Shakir? Down early this week with an injured riddled team.

I have both Montgomery and Herbert. But also James Connor. Which of the three would you flex?

I had lamb on the bench and started Duvernay. Now Lamb is going to play... Only 1 point difference between the two in the FFI rankings. I am leaning towards sticking with Duvernay... even as a Bengals fan!

Do you think it is worth it to pick up Odell Beckham Jr now and hope he goes to GB or KC?

Nevermind, Andy. I was thinking Herbert anyway, with Montogomery limited and the possibility of re-injury, and Connor playing the tough stuff Eagles. And you folks have Herbert 7 spots higher than Connor also. Thanks.
