David Johnson
DJ is expected to play per reports, but as I mentioned earlier this week, I don’t know how much I trust him this week. The Cardinals are proving to be a difficult team to peg with their injuries as it only recently came out that Christian Kirk has been dealing with a high ankle sprain. Granted if that was the case Johnson would not be active at all, but I don’t have much faith in him for cash games considering All Second Team running back Chase Edmonds took the first team snaps most of the week.
Marquez Valdes-Scantling and Geronimo Allison
Next up on the Final Injury Report are a couple of teammates. These guys’ availability is going to be the X factor for the Packers’ passing game today. Allison will undergo concussion protocol testing this morning again and has a chance to play. If he is active, he should not be limited whatsoever and from a volume perspective isn’t a bad choice at $4,900 on Draft Kings. On the other hand, if MVS is declared active, there’s no way I put him into any lineups considering he has both an ankle and knee injury he’s dealing with. Not to mention MVS is $5,200 on Draft Kings. I’m passing on him this week.
Marquise Brown
I’m fading Brown as a mid-afternoon kickoff will give us no further clarity at this point. He missed all of last week and this week’s practice, so I don’t expect Brown to play today. At this point, I’m beginning to wonder if he is suffering from the dreaded high ankle.
Delanie Walker
Walker’s practice participation went in reverse on Friday after being limited all week. He is currently hampered by an ankle injury and I can’t help but think that at 35 the massive reconstruction is beginning to effect him. I’m fading Walker today in cash, but not tournaments as there’s a good chance he will serve as the primary safety valve for starting quarterback Ryan Tannehill. At $3,800 on Draft Kings I would be more than willing to use Walker. Check back with me on Twitter to ensure he is active.
