| 4. | Philip Rivers LAC at KC |

| 22. | Jay Cutler MIA at Buf |
| 23. | Mitchell Trubisky CHI at Det |
| 24. | Alex Smith KC vs. LAC |
| 25. | *Tyrod Taylor BUF vs. Mia Note: (Knee) Taylor insists that he'll be able to play this week, but McDermott hasn't confirmed that yet. If Taylor fully practices and is mobile in practice, I'd move him up to around 20 or so. Practiced both Wednesday and Thursday, while Peterman remains in the protocol. However, coach Sean McDermott won't yet commit to him as the starter. ***Taylor will start, Webb will be the backup.*** |
| 26. | *Marcus Mariota TEN at SF Note: Mariota has a sprained knee, but he's expected to practice Wednesday and play this weekend in San Francisco. Full practice Wednesday, but his previous hamstring ailment remains a factor, as does his fibula fracture from last year - the latter will require some cleanup at the end of the season. ***Full participant in practices this week.*** |
| 27. | *Eli Manning NYG vs. Phi Note: Game 2 of Eli's next 210-start streak is this week. Congrats Giants fans! |
| 28. | Trevor Siemian DEN at Ind |
| 29. | *T.J. Yates HOU at Jax Note: Expected to start this week with Tom Savage in the concussion protocol. Named the starter for this week. Taylor Heinicke will be promoted from the practice squad to be the backup. |
| 30. | Andy Dalton CIN at Min |
| 31. | Jacoby Brissett IND vs. Den |
| 32. | *Bryce Petty NYJ at NO Note: Taking over as the Jets' starter with McCown out for the season. |
| 33. | *Joe Webb BUF vs. Mia Note: Webb finished last week's game when Nathan Peterman suffered a concussion. This week's starter hasn't been decided yet. |
| 34. | *Brett Hundley GB at Car Note: It appears that Rodgers will start. |
| 35. | *Nathan Peterman BUF vs. Mia Note: In the concussion protocol. Joe Webb finished last week's game. Remained in the concussion protocol as of Thursday, though he was a full participant on Thursday. |
| 36. | *Tom Savage HOU at Jax Note: Suffered a brutal concussion against the Niners last week - T.J. Yates is expected to start, even if Savage clears the protocol this week. Ruled out for this week. |
| 37. | *Josh McCown NYJ at NO Note: Out for the season with a broken hand. |
| 38. | *Carson Wentz PHI at NYG Note: Torn ACL, out for the season - will have surgery soon. |

| 14. | Marshawn Lynch OAK vs. Dal |
| 15. | Rex Burkhead NE at Pit |
| 16. | Jamaal Williams GB at Car |
| 17. | *Giovani Bernard CIN at Min Note: Tougher matchup against the Vikings this week, plus Mixon could be back. (Knee) Limited practice Wednesday and Thursday. ***Full practice Friday, no injury designation, and Mixon is out.*** |
| 18. | Alfred Morris DAL at Oak |
| 19. | *Jerick McKinnon MIN vs. Cin Note: The matchup against the Bengals should provide enough for both Vikings backs to contribute. (Shoulder) Limited practice Wednesday, full practice Thursday. |
| 20. | *DeMarco Murray TEN at SF Note: Murray's performance Sunday (11 carries for 34 yards) reinforced his status as the starter, according to coach Mike Mularkey. We just report the news. |
| 21. | *Samaje Perine WAS vs. Ari Note: Briefly dealt with a stomach ailment that was clarified as an illness last week. Not listed on Wednesday's injury report. |
| 22. | Jay Ajayi PHI at NYG Note: Ajayi's workload is slowly starting to increase - he had 15 carries last week. With Wentz out, the Eagles might need to run more often. |

| 34. | *Frank Gore IND vs. Den Note: Sat out Tuesday's practice, but only for rest purposes. Not on the Colts' injury report. |
| 35. | Dion Lewis NE at Pit |
| 36. | *T.J. Yeldon JAC vs. Hou Note: Moved up a tad in light of Fournette's quad injury. ***Fournette now unlikely to play. Ivory is supposed to start, but he and Yeldon are expected to split carries rather evenly.*** |

| 19. | *Jordy Nelson GB at Car Note: Could see a dramatic bump in his value if Rodgers returns this week. |

| 50. | Mike Evans TB vs. Atl |

| 53. | T.Y. Hilton IND vs. Den |
| 54. | Sammy Watkins LA at Sea |
| 55. | Alfred Morris DAL at Oak |
| 56. | *DeMarco Murray TEN at SF Note: Murray's performance Sunday (11 carries for 34 yards) reinforced his status as the starter, according to coach Mike Mularkey. We just report the news. |
| 57. | Jay Ajayi PHI at NYG Note: Ajayi's workload is slowly starting to increase - he had 15 carries last week. With Wentz out, the Eagles might need to run more often. |
| 58. | Kerwynn Williams ARZ at Was |
| 59. | DeSean Jackson TB vs. Atl |
| 60. | Tyreek Hill KC vs. LAC |
| 61. | *JuJu Smith-Schuster PIT vs. NE Note: Popped back up on the injury report with a hamstring injury. ***Limited practice Friday, but expected to play.*** |

| 79. | Duke Johnson CLE vs. Bal |
| 80. | Danny Amendola NE at Pit |
| 81. | *T.J. Yeldon JAC vs. Hou Note: Moved up a tad in light of Fournette's quad injury. ***Fournette now unlikely to play. Ivory is supposed to start, but he and Yeldon are expected to split carries rather evenly.*** |
| 82. | Tyler Lockett SEA vs. LAR |
| 83. | Jason Witten DAL at Oak |
| 84. | *Zach Ertz PHI at NYG Note: Obviously this ranking assumes that Ertz will be able to go this week after sitting out against the Rams. Full practice Wednesday, cleared the concussion protocol. |
