Dwayne Allen did not practice this week and will not play Sunday due to an ankle injury. Jack Doyle will continue to start and isn’t a bad option, as Andrew Luck has shown nice chemistry with him. Travis Benjamin did not practice Wednesday and was limited Thursday and Friday with a knee injury. He is questionable for Sunday’s game against the Falcons. Benjamin’s ability to play will be key for Philip Rivers, as both have a good match up if he can go. Martellus Bennett was limited in practice this week with an ankle injury and is questionable for Sunday’s game against Pittsburgh. It’s unclear whether Bennett will be able to suit up, so check back before Sunday’s game to see if he can go. Jamaal Charles was limited in practice Friday with a knee injury and is questionable for Sunday’s game against New Orleans. Charles is new to the injury report Friday, so it’s unclear what his chances of playing are. If Charles misses the good matchup, Spencer Ware will benefit even more. Stefon Diggs was limited in practice Wednesday and Thursday with a groin injury, but returned to a full practice Friday for Sunday’s game against Philadelphia. Diggs seems likely to return, and is a WR2 against the Eagles defense. Phillip Dorsett did not practice this week and will not play Sunday due to foot and hamstring injuries. Dorsett’s absence coupled with Donte Moncrief’s absence means Quan Bray will likely start, and has WR4 value. Tyler Eifert was limited in practice this week with back and ankle injuries and is questionable for Sunday’s game against Cleveland. Even if Eifert does play, it’ll likely be in a limited role, as Cincinnati eases him back into play. Jimmy Graham did not practice Thursday due to knee and hip injuries, but returned to a full practice Friday and will play Sunday against Arizona. Graham’s absence Thursday caused minor concern, but he should be fine, and might play even more with Luke Willson sidelined. DeSean Jackson did not practice Wednesday and Thursday due to a shoulder injury, but returned to a limited practice Friday and is questionable for Sunday’s game against Detroit. With only one limited practice under his belt, Jackson seems truly questionable. LeSean McCoy was limited in practice Friday after not practicing Thursday due to a hamstring injury and is questionable for Sunday’s game against Miami. McCoy is a game-time decision, but is likely to sit, paving the way for Mike Gillislee. If Gillislee is available in your league, claim him immediately. After being limited in practice Wednesday, Jordan Reed did not practice Thursday and Friday due to a concussion and will not play Sunday. Theo Riddick did not practice this week and will not play Sunday due to an ankle injury.
