Terry McLaurin

McLaurin’s decision to play is going to come down to a game time decision it seems yet again. He’s falling into the dreaded one to three missed game average for hamstring strains. Even if he is active, there’s no way to confidently use him against the Patriots defense with Colt McCoy named the starter.

Devin Singletary

Another rookie who is a regular on the Final Injury Report has a real chance to play on Sunday. He’s definitely not somebody I’m willing to use in cash games, but he could be useful in a handful of GPPs as the injury designation tends to scare others away. Be aware that even if he’s active, it does not imply he is ready. It’s just a reality of the NFL.

Julian Edelman

Two week removed from the rib injury, you can confidently use Edelman this week as he should not be limited by the injury.

T.Y. Hilton

If I’ve said it once, I’ve said it 100 times: trust the process. Hilton did not practice until Friday and was limited at that. If you’re going to use him in the single game slate, be aware that he is at risk for re-tear of his quad. He’s as tough as they come, so if he goes nuts against this Chiefs defense just know that I won’t be using him personally. Make your own decision on Hilton this week.

Marlon Mack

Mack is also on the single game slate tonight, so there’s a good chance you’re thinking about using him. Given that last week he followed the same practice pattern and left the game before the fourth quarter, there’s no confidence he’ll finish the game in Week Five. Lastly, given the negative game script the Colts will likely be in, Hines could be a better play despite his high ownership.

That’s it for the DFS Final Injury report. Good luck this week!
