Sunday morning injury updates

Hollywood, Rachaad expected to play

The injury reports are coming in from Adam Schefter, Ian Rapoport, et al. In most cases, guys who were questionable (and even a doubtful!) are expected to suit up and play.

  • Rachaad White practiced fully all week, then was added to the injury report yesterday with a knee injury, and called questionable. But indications this morning are that it was precautionary on the part of the Bucs, that White's knee locked up and they were being careful. Schefter reports there's nothing wrong with his knee and he will play. If you happened to be debating between White and a guy ranked similarly, maybe go with the other guy, but White should be fine. And Chase Edmonds in not viable.

  • Marquise (Hollywood) Brown has a heel injury, and when we did the Friday update, there was the thought he wouldn't play, since he hadn't practiced. But he's expected to play through it, putting him back where he was in the rankings on Wednesday (40th in PPR, 44th in Standard), and reduces the appeal of Rondale Moore and especially Greg Dortch (who will now be more of a No. 3).

  • Dameon Pierce (ankle) will play, as anticipated. That makes Devin Singletary a little less appealing (those guys were ranked appropriately on Friday).

  • Odell Beckham (shoulder) and Zay Flowers (hip) are both expected to play for the Ravens tonight against the Chargers.

  • Gerald Everett (chest) is expected to play for the Chargers, reducing the appeal of Donald Parham. And Jalen Guyton (groin) is also expected to be available.

  • Maxx Crosby (knee) is expected to play for the Raiders. A little bit of a boost to their defense against Patrick Mahomes and Kansas City. Crosby was doubtful, so you wonder if he'll play limited snaps. Same game, Kadarius Toney (ankle, hip) won't play, preventing anyone from making the mistake of starting Toney with any hope that he'll do anything noteworthy.  

  • Couple of Monday night updates: D'Onta Foreman is doubtful due to ankle and shin injuries. That's a plus for Khalil Herbert, with Roschon Johnson the clear No. 2. Also, Justin Jefferson is questionable, but it sounds like the team will leave him inactive, and bring him back healthy in Week 14 (the Vikings have a bye next week).
