There have been a few notable updates since we sent our final rankings out last night. Specifically with Brandon Marshall, Jeremy Maclin, Chris Boswell and Charles Clay – developments that affect them and other players.
Marshall is the most notable. He didn’t practice at all on Thursday and Friday, causing me to believe yesterday that there was some chance he wouldn’t play – and that he’d likely be physically limited if he did. But Marshall put in a full practice today and isn’t even mentioned on the injury report. He’s definitely playing and should be New York’s leading receiver on Monday night.
So Marshall moves up – just ahead of where we had Quincy Enunwa yesterday. Enunwa and the other other New York pass catchers (most notably Robby Anderson), move down just a little to make room for him.
The other Monday night team, the Colts, have also submitted their report. Andrew Luck isn’t even on it; he’s passed through the concussion protocol. T.Y. Hilton (back) also looks fine; he sat out practice Thursday but has practiced fully the last two days.
Some defensive starters will miss this game. The Colts will be without linebacker Robert Mathis (biceps), safety Clayton Geathers (neck) and cornerback Patrick Robinson (groin). The Jets won’t have safety Calvin Pryor (concussion) or tackle Steve McLendon (hamstring). The complete Monday night injury report appears below.
Additionally on Saturday, the Steelers have signed Randy Bullock to fill in for Chris Boswell, who has an abdominal injury. We had Boswell graded as a top-10 kicker. Bullock has had some accuracy issues, so we’ll stick him just outside the top 15.
Charles Clay didn’t travel with the Bills to Oakland. He’s awaiting the birth of his child. Looks like there’s a good chance he’ll sit out. The Bills presumably would replace him with Nick O’Leary, but this one doesn’t look particularly noteworthy – nobody wants to be starting either Clay or O’Leary in Week 13.
Kansas City has ruled out Jeremy Maclin (groin). Nobody was going to start Maclin, but he practiced some all week, so it was our expectation he was going to play and catch a few passes. With him out of the mix, that will translate into a few more opportunities for all of their other pass catchers. So on our board, Travis Kelce, Tyreek Hill, Chris Conley and Albert Wilson all move up a little.
We’ll get the revised stat projections loaded to the website later today.
