Gabe Davis Injury Update
Gabe Davis suffered a sprained PCL in the regular season finale against the Miami Dolphins and has been out ever since. The 24-year-old failed to log any practice time this week and was swiftly ruled out of Sunday's game against the Kansas City Chiefs on Friday afternoon.
The duo of Khalil Shakir and Dalton Kincaid will continue to absorb the usual target share saved for Davis. It is important to note that Stefon Diggs is dealing with a foot injury but was left off of the final injury report. Shakir and Kincaid are both great options in DFS this weekend, even if the matchup against Kansas City is not favorable.
Kadarius Toney Injury Update
Kadarius Toney suffered hip and ankle injuries back in Week 15, and he has not played since. The 24-year-old was able to return to practice in a limited fashion this week, but the Chiefs officially listed him as questionable for Sunday's game against the Buffalo Bills.
Skyy Moore (knee) will not be activated off of IR, and Justyn Ross (hamstring) is also questionable. Rashee Rice remains the only wide receiver that fantasy managers can trust in DFS formats, even if Toney and the others are relatively cheap options. The Kansas City receivers have not had a ton of fantasy relevance outside of Rice, and hoping for a different result on the road in Buffalo is not recommended.
Devin Duvernay Injury Update
Devin Duvernay has been on the Injured Reserve since Week 14 due to to a back injury. The 26-year-old has put in a full week's worth of practice this past week and was expected to be activated off of the IR to play in Saturday's game against the Houston Texans. However, Baltimore elected not to elevate him, ruling him out of Saturday's contest.
Duvernay has just four receptions on the season and has been largely phased out of the offense, with Zay Flowers, Odell Beckham Jr., Rashod Bateman, and Nelson Agholor ahead of him on the depth chart. Tight end Mark Andrews (ankle) has also been left on the Injured Reserve, making the most popular DFS options Flowers, Beckham Jr., and tight end Isaiah Likely.
Skyy Moore Injury Update
Skyy Moore was placed on Injured Reserve back in Week 15 with a knee injury. The second-year receiver had started to work his way back onto the practice field this week but tweaked the injury on Thursday. The Chiefs ruled him out of Sunday's game against the Buffalo Bills on Friday.
The wide receiver woes continue for Kansas City. Moore has been a disappointment, but his presence would have been a welcomed addition against the Bills on the road. Rashee Rice and Travis Kelce remain the only reliable fantasy options in DFS this weekend and beyond.
Kalif Raymond Injury Update
Kalif Raymond suffered a knee injury during the Lions' regular-season finale and has not been able to return to the field since. The 29-year-old failed to log any practice time this past week and Detroit officially ruled him out for Sunday's game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Friday.
Raymond made more of an impact on special teams than anything else, so his absence won't really be felt in the fantasy world this weekend. Amon-Ra St. Brown, Josh Reynolds, and Jameson Williams all remain the top wide receivers to pop into DFS lineups this weekend, while Sam LaPorta (knee) will be a top tight end play if he is active.
Justyn Ross Injury Update
Justyn Ross suffered a hamstring injury during the Chiefs' regular-season finale. The 24-year-old sat out of Wednesday's practice, but was able to end the week with two limited sessions. Kansas City has listed him as questionable for Sunday's game against the Buffalo Bills on their final injury report.
Even with the struggles the Chiefs have had at the wide receiver position, Ross would be unlikely to have a major role even if active. Rashee Rice and Travis Kelce remain the only two reliable fantasy options in DFS heading into the weekend.
Noah Brown Injury Update
Noah Brown has battled a knee injury this season and again missed some time during last week's win over the Cleveland Browns because of it. This past Monday, the Texans placed the receiver on the Injured Reserve list, ending his season.
It brings an end to a solid 2023 campaign where the 28-year-old posted a career-high 567 yards on just 33 receptions and scored two touchdowns. Robert Woods will likely see the biggest bump in targets with Brown out and now becomes a potential flex option in DFS tournaments. Nico Collins remains the top option for fantasy managers this weekend.
