Offense

David Johnson, RB, ARI: Ankle -- Questionable
Impact: Not expected to play this week or next. Chase Edmonds will try to repeat last week's stellar outing.

Christian Kirk, WR, ARI: Ankle -- Questionable
Impact: Game-time call. Trent Sherfield and Damiere Byrd will still feature prominently.

Matt Ryan, QB, ATL: Ankle -- OUT
Impact: Matt Schaub will start, lowering the value of all Atlanta receivers.

Ito Smith, RB, ATL: Concussion -- OUT
Impact: Brian Hill will back up Devonta Freeman.

Dede Westbrook, WR, JAX: Neck -- Questionable
Impact: Expected to play, which would give Gardner Minshew II another solid target.

Justin Jackson, RB, LAC: Calf -- Questionable
Impact: Austin Ekeler shouldn't have to worry about anyone else stepping in to spell Melvin Gordon.

Keenan Allen, WR, LAC: Hamstring -- Questionable
Impact: Geremy Davis and Andre Patton could become flex options if Allen, as expected, doesn't play.

Malcolm Brown, RB, LAR: Ankle -- OUT
Impact: Darrell Henderson Jr. emerges as strong fantasy flex in London.

Drew Brees, QB, NO: Thumb -- Questionable
Impact: Expected to start ahead of the bye week. Saints wouldn't do so if there were any questions about his fitness.

Alvin Kamara, RB, NO: Ankle -- Questionable
Impact: Don't expect to see him suit up. Latavius Murray is more than capable of handling RB duties this week.

Tre'Quan Smith, WR, NO: Ankle -- OUT

Impact: Ryan Griffin will start in his place.

Darren Sproles, RB, PHI: Quad -- OUT
Impact: Good news if you were planning to start either Jordan Howard or Miles Sanders.

Impact: Neither Nelson Agholor nor Mack Hollins have been able to break out while Jackson continues to sit.

O.J. Howard, TE, TB: Hamstring -- OUT
Impact: Cameron Brate becomes a strong TE option.
