Mack, Smith-Schuster gametime calls

The gameday updates are filtering in, and seems that fantasy teams will need to take some chances if they want to use some big-name players. Most notably, Marlon Mack and JuJu Smith-Schuster won't be sure to play. Particularly tricky with Mack playing Sunday night.

  • Tyrell Williams is called a long shot to play through a toe injury. Since they're playing the Bears and it's a lousy matchup, easy call to bench Williams.

  • T.Y. Hilton (quad) should play for the Colts, but Mack might not. So if you want to use Mack, make sure you have another option Sunday night or Monday to switch to if he's inactive.

  • Julian Edelman (chest) should play for New England. Rex Burkhead (foot) has already been ruled out.

  • Kenny Stills (hamstring) is not expected to play for Houston. This is a boost for the value of Keke Coutee, the clear No. 3 n the passing game against a struggling Atlanta defense.

  • Stefon Diggs should play in a favorable matchup with the Giants. He's healthy, there was just talk he might be punished for mouthing off etc. this week. Kirk Cousins has to throw to someone.

  • JuJu (toe) also a gametime call. Can't be safely used; check the inactives. Absence would held James Washington.

  • Devin Singletary (hamstring) also a gametime call. Tough matchup anyway; better reserved for this week.

  • Damien Williams, coming back from a knee injury, should play.

  • Terry McLaurin (hamstring) is expected to play.
