Good morning, Fools. It's a chilly day in Fantasyland (at least it is in DFW), but it's a great day for football.
Let's take a spin around the NFL for the news we can use to dominate our matchups.
Jameis Winston is active and will start today in a tough matchup against the Bills.
Leonard Fournette has just been ruled out. If you have Chris Ivory, or if he's available, get him in your lineup. He should have a very nice outing against the Colts.
Rob Kelley is expected to return today, moving Samaje Perine back to the bench. I'm not crazy about Kelley this weekend, but Chris Thompson should have another of his up games.
Not only will we get another look at the rejuvenated Adrian Peterson against the Rams, but Andre Ellington is expected to miss the game. Might AP even be used as a receiver? This game is being played in London, but it's not starting early as usual.
Don't expect much, if anything, from C.J. Prosise (ankle) today. We could see another exciting cameo from J.D. McKissic, but probably just a lot of 2 yards and a cloud of dust from Thomas Rawls interspersed with an occasional nice Eddie Lacy run.
The Titans were concerned about both DeMarco Murray and Delanie Walker being available today, but they are both active. Start them as usual.
I like the Philly passing game on Monday night (and in general), and really like it with Josh Norman out for the Redskins. Start Alshon Jeffery and Nelson Agholor.
Jordan Matthews should be back today, though with a wrapped-up thumb, which boosts Tyrod Taylor's outlook. The thing to consider here is not starting Matthews, but picking him up if he was dropped after his injury. If he stays healthy, and firms up his connection with Taylor, Matthews could have fantasy value down the stretch.
Sterling Shepard is also expected to return, which is great news for the Giants offense. He'll instantly become the #1 target; but against the Seahawks, he's a must-sit.
Willie Snead won't play for the Saints today. Neither will Jeremy Maclin for the Ravens. Not that you were going to start either of them.
That's it for now. Heading over to Twitter for the inactives and other late-breaking news. Good luck today, Fools.
