Defensive Linemen
Atlanta Falcons DE Adrian Clayborn (knee-out) didn’t practice again and will also miss Los Angeles. FANTASY SPIN: It’s a break for the Rams’ passing game in a good matchup.
Carolina Panthers DE Charles Johnson (hamstring-out) didn’t practice again and won’t play. DE Mario Addison (foot-questionable) got in full practice and has a good chance to play. FANTASY SPIN: This is a pretty good pass-rush break for Chargers QB Philip Rivers to add to great matchups for his targets.
Dallas Cowboys DE DeMarcus Lawrence (back-questionable) didn’t practice again in advance of the Giants. FANTASY SPIN: If he can’t go, it makes it an even stronger matchup for the Giants’ passing game.
Detroit Lions DE Ezekiel Ansah (ankle-questionable) got in another limited practice in advance of Chicago. He should be OK to play. FANTASY SPIN: It’s a tricky matchup for the Bears’ offensive line, more so in pass protection for QB Matt Barkley.
Houston Texans DE Jadeveon Clowney (elbow/wrist-questionable) got in limited practice again and may also miss Indianapolis. FANTASY SPIN: This is a huge chance for Colts QB Andrew Luck to stay hot at home against an already limited pass rush.
Jacksonville Jaguars DE Jared Odrick (shoulder-out) didn’t practice again in advance of Minnesota and won’t play. FANTASY SPIN: It’s an above-average spot for either half of the Vikings RBBC if you need them.
Los Angeles Rams DE Robert Quinn (concussion-questionable) was upgraded to full. They hope he goes vs. Atlanta. FANTASY SPIN: It’s still a good overall matchup for Falcons QB Matt Ryan.
Miami Dolphins DE Mario Williams (ankle-doubtful) didn’t practice again and won’t play. DT Earl Mitchell (back-questionable) was upgraded to full and should play vs. Arizona. FANTASY SPIN: This is still a much better matchup for Cardinals RB David Johnson up front than for QB Carson Palmer.

New York Giants DE Jason Pierre-Paul (core muscle-out) isn’t practicing and won’t play vs. Dallas. DT Jonathan Hankins (quadriceps-questionable) was upgraded to limited. FANTASY SPIN: The Cowboys’ running game remains strong for this one and no JPP gives QB Dak Prescott a chance for more downfield pop in the passing game.
New York Jets DT Steve McLendon (hamstring-out) didn’t practice and won’t play. DE Muhammad Wilkerson (ankle-questionable) was limited again in advance of San Francisco. FANTASY SPIN: This helps 49ers RB Carlos Hyde in the inside power running game.

Tennessee Titans DT Jurrell Casey (foot-questionable) didn’t practice for a third day. He’s unlikely to go vs. Denver. FANTASY SPIN: His absence would help the Broncos’ struggling running game and put less pressure in their quarterback’s face.

Carolina Panthers ILB Luke Kuechly (concussion-questionable) was upgraded to full. They are expecting him to return vs. San Diego. FANTASY SPIN: His return does help the Panthers’ run defense, but you’re still trusting in Chargers RB Melvin Gordon.
Chicago Bears OLB Willie Young (knee) was upgraded to full in advance of Detroit. FANTASY SPIN: It’s still a fantastic matchup for the Lions’ passing game.

Detroit Lions OLB DeAndre Levy (knee-questionable) was limited again. ILB Tahir Whitehead (knee-questionable) was limited again. FANTASY SPIN: With their statuses iffy, it’s another pretty good spot for Bears RB Jordan Howard all around.
Green Bay Packers OLB Clay Matthews (shoulder-questionable) got in more limited practice. OLB Nick Perry (hand-out) didn’t practice again and won’t play. ILB Jake Ryan (ankle) remained limited. ILB Blake Martinez (knee-questionable) also was limited again in advance of Seattle. FANTASY SPIN: It all sets up another solid spot for Seahawks RB Thomas Rawls.
Houston Texans OLB John Simon (chest-out) didn’t practice again in advance of Indianapolis and won’t play. ILB Brian Cushing (back/ankle-questionable) was limited again. FANTASY SPIN: It’s a good situation overall for Colts RB Frank Gore.
Indianapolis Colts OLB Robert Mathis (hip-out) didn’t practice again and will also miss Houston. FANTASY SPIN: It’s another good spot overall for the Texans’ passing game.
Miami Dolphins ILB Kiko Alonso (hand/hamstring-doubtful) didn’t practice again and won’t play. OLB Jelani Jenkins (knee/hand-doubtful) also didn’t practice again in advance of Arizona and is set to miss another game. FANTASY SPIN: It’s a great matchup for Cardinals RB David Johnson all around.
San Francisco 49ers OLB Aaron Lynch (ankle-questionable) was limited again in advance of the Jets. FANTASY SPIN: It’s not a very good pass defense even with him rushing the passer, but you’re trusting more in the Jets’ wideouts than in QB Bryce Petty.
Washington Redskins OLB Preston Smith (groin-questionable) was upgraded to full in advance of Philadelphia. FANTASY SPIN: It’s a good spot for the Eagles short-to-intermediate pass-catchers, but that doesn’t make you trust QB Carson Wentz.
Defensive back
Arizona Cardinals CB Patrick Peterson (knee) went full again and is fine to play in Miami. CB Tyrann Mathieu (shoulder-out) didn’t practice again and will miss another game. FANTASY SPIN: It’s a much easier matchup for Dolphins WR Jarvis Landry than their busier outside wideouts.
Buffalo Bills CB Ronald Darby (concussion) went full again and will return vs. Pittsburgh. FANTASY SPIN: it’s still another strong matchup for Steelers WR Antonio Brown everywhere on the field.
Carolina Panthers S Kurt Coleman (concussion-questionable) was upgraded to full. CB Daryl Worley (concussion-questionable) went full. They think both will play vs. San Diego. FANTASY SPIN: It’s still a very good matchup for all Chargers’ wide receivers and tight ends.
Cleveland Browns CB Jamar Taylor (groin) was limited again in advance of Cincinnati. CB Joe Haden (groin) was upgraded to full. FANTASY SPIN: It’s a still a strong matchup for the Bengals’ wide receivers.
Dallas Cowboys CB Morris Claiborne (groin-out) didn’t practice again and won’t play. CB Orlando Scandrick (foot-questionable) got in a second limited practice. S J.J. Wilcox (thigh-out) didn’t practice for a third day in advance of the Giants and won’t play. S Barry Church (forearm-questionable) went full again and will play. FANTASY SPIN: It’s a very good matchup for all of the Giants’ wide receivers and TE Will Tye, too.
Green Bay Packers CB Damarious Randall (groin-questionable) was limited again. He should be OK for Seattle. FANTASY SPIN: It’s a great matchup for Seahawks CB Doug Baldwin.
Houston Texans CB Johnathan Joseph (ribs-questionable) didn’t practice for a third day in advance of Indianapolis. FANTASY SPIN: If he’s limited or can’t go, it would set up nicely for Colts WRs T.Y. Hilton and Donte Moncrief to stay hot.
Indianapolis Colts CB Patrick Robinson (groin-out) was downgraded to no practice and won’t play vs. Houston. FANTASY SPIN: This sets up a great opportunity as a #2 for Texans WR Will Fuller.
Minnesota Vikings S Harrison Smith (ankle-out) didn’t practice for a third day and won’t play. FANTASY SPIN: His absence helps everything in the Jaguars’ struggling offense, but it’s still tough to trust any of their backs and receivers.
New York Jets S Calvin Pryor (concussion) was upgraded to full and will play in San Francisco. FANTASY SPIN: It’s a tougher spot for 49ers RB Carlos Hyde.
San Diego Chargers CB Brandon Flowers (concussion-out) didn’t practice for a third day and will also miss Carolina. FANTASY SPIN: It’s a welcome break for Panthers WR Kelvin Benjamin, although CB Casey Hayward has been tough in coverage, too.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers S Chris Conte (chest-out) didn’t practice again and will also miss New Orleans. FANTASY SPIN: It’s a pretty good spot for Saints TE Coby Fleener.
Washington Redskins S Will Blackmon (concussion/thumb-out) didn’t practice again and won’t play. FANTASY SPIN: It’s a very good spot for Eagles TE Zach Ertz to stay hot.
