The Packers activated Jace Sternberger (ankle) from inured reserve.

Sternberger started practicing with Green Bay on October 16, so he’s apparently worked himself into a position to suit up tomorrow against the Chargers. The rookie tight end is not a highly recommended pickup in redraft leagues.

The Lions promoted Paul Perkins to the active roster.

Perkins is taking the roster spot of Tra Carson, who is now on injured reserve with his hamstring injury. Perkins joins Ty Johnson and J.D. McKissic in a committee backfield, and none can be trusted as more than FLEX options in fantasy lineups for now.

The Steelers have promoted Tony Brooks-James to the active roster.

A big-play running back and return man out of Oregon, Brooks-James will serve as a backup on Sunday with James Conner (shoulder) likely out. Jaylen Samuels is expected to operate as the team’s workhorse, so Brooks-James won’t be a recommended fantasy play.

The Lions placed Tra Carson (hamstring) on injured reserve.

This is a tough break for Carson, who was just leading the Detroit backfield last week after Kerryon Johnson was placed on injured reserve with a knee injury. Carson going to IR is a boost for Ty Johnson and J.D. McKissic, but this is a committee backfield that’s difficult to trust in fantasy lineups.

The Steelers have released Donte Moncrief.

Moncrief opened the season as a starter for Pittsburgh, but he struggled early, and the team is moving on after his role diminished over the past few weeks. The former Colts standout—who is still just 26—should quickly find a new team, but there probably isn’t a situation that would allow him to return instant fantasy value.

Matt LaCosse (knee) has been downgraded to out for Week 9.

LaCosse presumably is not making the trip for tomorrow night’s game in Baltimore, so he’s been ruled out. This is Lacosse’s third consecutive missed game, but he appears to be getting closer to a return. LaCosse does not need to be on fantasy rosters right now.

The Chiefs waived Kyle Shurmur.

Shurmur is being waived to make room for Chad Henne (ankle) coming off injured reserve. The rookie quarterback will likely land back with Kansas City’s practice squad if he goes unclaimed on waivers.
