Doubtful

Tua Tagovailoa (ATL, oblique) — Doubtful. Penix already Out. Desk note from the earlier board: Cooper Rush is the path if Tua cannot go — that is board continuity, not a fresh official starter stamp on this Saturday sheet. Source: NFL.com / CBS Sports, 19 Sep; prior confirmed board.

Questionable — official tags

Joe Burrow (CIN, back) — Questionable. Coaching chatter has him trending toward play — that chatter is desk colour, not an official upgrade. Source: NFL.com / CBS Sports, 19 Sep; desk colour labelled.

Ladd McConkey (LAC, rib) — Questionable. Source: NFL.com / CBS Sports, 19 Sep.

Chris Olave (NO, hamstring) — Questionable. Source: NFL.com / CBS Sports, 19 Sep.

Puka Nacua (LAR, hip) — Questionable for Monday Night vs the Giants. DNP Friday and Saturday. Source: NFL.com / CBS Sports, 19 Sep.

RJ Harvey (DEN, hamstring) — Questionable. Source: NFL.com / CBS Sports, 19 Sep.

Chris Jones (KC, calf) — Questionable. Source: NFL.com / CBS Sports, 19 Sep.

Desk colour — Puka, Harvey, Jones

Desk colour — Puka: Not practising does not mean he will not play, but it does not look great. He does not need to practise to play; being added the way he was with no practices could just be the Rams guarding him for the game. Official tag remains Questionable. No invented snap count.

Desk colour — RJ Harvey: Likely will not play; Broncos have depth. Official tag remains Questionable.

Desk colour — Chris Jones: Tough as nails — will suit up if he can. Official tag remains Questionable.

Desk colour — Olave / Saints; Commanders TE trap; Ladd; Steelers WR tree

Desk colour — Olave: Saints are thin. Olave will play if he can. If he is ruled out, Devaughn Vele is a strong start. Official tag remains Questionable until inactives.

Desk colour — Commanders with Chig Out: Antonio Williams and Diggs are good starts. Do not be fooled into a backup tight end. Jacory “Bill” Croskey-Merritt is more likely to mop up short-target dump-offs as Jayden Daniels’ safety blanket. Spellings: Jayden Daniels; Croskey-Merritt (Bill).

Desk colour — Ladd McConkey: Did not look great. If he plays he might be in a flak jacket / on a snap count — that is expectation, not an official snap number. Quentin Johnston and the Chargers TE room are a stronger start, but not by much.

Desk colour — Steelers with Pittman Out: DK Metcalf and others may get more play, but the offence is not very high-powered. DK is a good WR2. If desperate, Germie Bernard only in deep leagues.

QB board — locked starters from this week’s confirmed path

Wentz starts for Minnesota with Murray Out. Lock starts for Seattle with Darnold Out. Atlanta: Penix Out, Tua Doubtful — Rush remains the earlier-board path if Tua cannot go. No invented return weeks on any of them.

What this item is not

No invented diagnoses. No return timelines. No snap counts stamped as fact. No rankings. Desk colour is labelled as such — it is opinion and expectation, not an official Out / Doubtful / Questionable upgrade. Paid sit/starts stay on the weekly.
