Running backs with the least favorable schedules in fantasy football in Week 9 (0-100 scale, with 100 being the most favorable): Jay Ajayi (9), Carlos Hyde (10), Chris Ivory (16), Chris Thompson/Rob Kelley (18), C.J. Anderson (22), Frank Gore (22).
Jaguars inactives: RB Leonard Fournette, WR Jaelen Strong, CB Tyler Patmon, RG A.J. Cann, OL Josh Walker, OL William Poehls, DT Sheldon Day. Starting C Brandon Linder will start in Cann's spot and Tyler Shatley will start at center.
Ravens going with four active receivers: Mike Wallace, Jeremy Maclin, Breshad Perriman and Chris Moore after scratching Michael Campanaro (shoulder) and cutting Chris Matthews earlier this week. Only two of the receivers -- Perriman and Moore -- are completely healthy.
Corey Davis first game since Week 2. He's expected to start and have a significant, but not quite full workload. He had 6 catches for 69 yards in his lone full NFL game where he played 66-percent of the snaps. I'd think he'll get something similar today.
Bucs inactives: Brent Grimes, Deji Olatoye, Darryl Tapp, Leonard Wester, Joe Hawley, Antony Auclair and Sealver Siliga. Robert McClain will start in Grimes' place.
As Bill O'Brien said Friday, QBs Tom Savage and T.J. Yates will be active for the Texans and Matt McGloin will be inactive. Other inactives: WR Braxton Miller, CB Trenton Decoud, ILB Dylan Cole, G Kyle Fuller, DE Joel Heath, OLB Ufomba Kamalu.
Ravens' inactives Sunday at Titans: RB Terrance West (calf), WR Michael Campanaro (shoulder), TE Nick Boyle (toe), OLB Tim Williams, OL Maurquice Shakir, DE Bronson Kaufusi and S Chuck Clark (thigh).
Falcons inactives vs. Panthers: LB Duke Riley, LB Sean Weatherspoon, WR Marvin Hall, CB Blidi-Wreh Wilson, OG Sean Harlow, OT Austin Pasztor, WR Nick Williams.
A key stat to watch courtesy of The Seattle Times: third downs. The Seahawks have converted 29 of their last 57; they've allowed just four or their last 22. The Redskins must avoid third and long.
Well I am glad I am 7-1 in fantasy and can afford to lose because I 1) own Fournette; 2) opponents owns Zeke; 3) Own Ertz (OUT); 4) Benched Forte (26 points); 5) opponents owns Yeldon so I went with Ivory.
I went from having a 50/50 chance of winning with 147 projected points to 125 projected points the second the inactives came out
