KEY INJURIES

-

QB Ben Roethlisbe­rger, Steelers Big Ben is testing out his balky knee with different braces. It appears Landry Jones will start in his place.

WR Dez Bryant, Cowboys Even desperate owners should wait a week to start him, given the potential rust, QB change, uncertain playing time.

WR Sammy Watkins, Bills A walking boot isn’t the optimal type of footwear when arriving in London. Deactivate him in all formats.

QB Tyrod Taylor, Bills Although he’ll be a game-time call, it’s not a good idea to play a mobile quarterbac­k who’s operating on one wheel.

WR Keenan Allen, Chargers A hip injury kept him out for most of Sunday’s second half. Other injuries might force him back before he’s ready.

RB Carlos Hyde, 49ers A foot bruise is Hyde’s latest ailment. However, his matchup vs. Seattle is too ugly to risk it, even if he were 100%.

QB Marcus Mariota, Titans A sprained knee ligament will hamper his mobility and, thus, his fantasy upside. Owners would be wise to sit him.

TE Jordan Reed, Redskins Says he’s ready to go but still needs to be cleared of concussion symptoms. A difference-maker if healthy.
