DeAndre Hopkins (hamstring) is officially active for Week 13.

After missing three games with his hamstring issue, Hopkins is back following Arizona’s bye week to take on Chicago today. There is some talk that he might be limited still, but you should be able to safely re-insert Hopkins into lineups as a strong fantasy option.

Kyler Murray (ankle) is officially active for the Cardinals.

Murray is officially back after missing three starts due to his ankle sprain, and he’s looking to lead the 9-2 Cardinals to a division title and top seed in the NFC down the stretch. First up, a Week 13 matchup at Chicago.

Boston Scott (illness) is officially active for the Eagles.

Scott is dealing with an illness, but he’s good to go for the Week 13 contest at the Jets. With Jordan Howard (knee) out for a second consecutive game, Scott should be the clear No. 2 back behind Miles Sanders.

Corey Davis (groin) is officially active for the Jets.

The groin issue suffered in practice a couple of weeks ago is now in a spot where Davis can give it a go for today’s Week 13 matchup against the Eagles. The veteran receiver will look to build chemistry with rookie quarterback Zach Wilson down the stretch.

David Johnson (illness/thigh) is officially inactive for Week 13.

Not only has COVID been hitting the league as of late, but non-COVID illnesses are going around too, and this one along with the thigh injury will keep Johnson out for today against the Colts. Rex Burkhead will lead the Houston backfield today against Indianapolis.

Jalen Hurts (ankle) will not start in Week 13, according to multiple reports.

Derrick Gunn reported the news first that Gardner Minshew will start tomorrow against the Jets while Jalen Hurts deals with his ankle injury. The expectation had been that Hurts would be starting despite the ankle, and we’d say he certainly wants to and probably isn’t happy about being held out. It’s also odd that the decision has apparently been made tonight. We’ll let you know if anything changes, but it looks like Hurts will be out for tomorrow, with Philadelphia perhaps having an eye on the Week 14 bye to give him time to get healthy.

Melvin Gordon (hip) downgraded to out for Week 13.

Gordon was doubtful on yesterday’s injury report, but now Denver isn’t even giving him a shot to suit up. Javonte Williams should handle a heavy workload against the Chiefs and needs to be started as a borderline RB1/RB2.
