Breece Hall Ruled Out While DJ Moore and George Pickens Get the Green Light
Actives today include: George Pickens, DJ Moore, Dalton Kincaid, Jakobi Meyers, Calvin Ridley. Inactives: Breece Hall.
Adam Schefter just dropped the Sunday morning active/inactive list, and the fantasy football group chats are officially in shambles. The headline here is that is officially inactive for the , meaning anyone relying on him today is currently staring at the waiver wire trying to talk themselves into a backup running back who averages three touches a month.
On the flip side, a whole squad of questionable pass-catchers just got the green light. The are breathing a massive sigh of relief with both and officially active.
Moore has been battling a shoulder issue that literally knocked him out of a game earlier this year, while is playing through a chest injury. is sitting pretty at 5-1, and having their top weapons on the field is a nightmare for anyone trying to bet the under on their team total.
Over in , is suiting up for the . has racked up 355 receiving yards over his last five games, proving he is still a walking highlight reel when the offense actually functions. Dallas is sitting at an ugly 3-4, so they desperately need him to stretch the field if they want to avoid a full-blown crisis.
We also have active for the 4-2 and Calvin Ridley good to go for the 1-6 . Ridley being active is technically great news for Tennessee, though at 1-6, throwing your star receiver out there feels a bit like putting premium gas in a car with no transmission.
For the betting crowd, these active tags are going to swing the prop markets hard right before kickoff. Hall being out completely changes the math on the Jets' offense, turning their backfield into a total guessing game that you probably want no part of.
Keep an eye on how these guys look in the first quarter. Being active is one thing, but surviving a full four quarters of NFL football after a week on the injury report is another. If Moore takes another hard hit to that shoulder, might have to rethink their rotation before the trade deadline.
