    Washington Commanders formation and usage

    Edition overview, reporting cutoff, status key and sources

    Reporting cutoff: September 27, 2026 · 10:25 a.m. MDT.

    Warren, Pittman, Moore and Coker are active. Legette, Raridon and Mitchell are out, while Bowers, Flowers and Evans still need later confirmation.

    Warren returns to the starting plan

    Jaylen Warren is active against Cincinnati, with Rico Dowdle inactive. That resolves the largest early backfield question from Saturday night: Warren is the preferred fantasy option among Pittsburgh’s available backs, while Travis Homer and Lew Nichols remain depth choices. Michael Pittman is also active and available for a flex decision. Their shoulder and foot injuries still leave workload uncertainty.

    Buffalo gets its receivers; Carolina loses Legette

    DJ Moore and Keon Coleman are active for Buffalo against the Chargers. Keep Josh Allen and James Cook starting, and return the receivers to consideration without assuming either will play every usual snap. Ty Johnson is active for his season debut.

    Carolina’s decisions split: Jalen Coker is active, but Xavier Legette and Ja’Tavion Sanders are inactive at Cleveland. Coker is a PPR flex consideration; replace the inactive players before kickoff. Chuba Hubbard retains the selected lead-back call with Jonathon Brooks on injured reserve, while AJ Dillon and Anthony Tyus III remain available behind him.

    Three replacement traps to avoid

    Eli Raridon is inactive for New England despite traveling to Jacksonville. Adonai Mitchell and Mason Taylor are inactive for the Jets. Use an available alternative; neither travel nor a late roster addition established that these players would play.

    Indianapolis has Darius Slayton and Ashton Dulin inactive with Alec Pierce already on injured reserve. Josh Downs remains a PPR flex option and Tyler Warren a selected starting tight end. Slayton is unavailable for this game. Keenan Allen, Anthony Gould and Nick Westbrook-Ikhine remain in the available receiving group.

    Tyjae Spears is active for Tennessee, while Michael Carter is inactive despite Saturday’s elevation. Spears is a deeper flex consideration behind established healthy backs. Houston’s Nico Collins is inactive; Dalton Schultz is available as a selected tight-end stream. Seattle confirms Sam Darnold’s return to the starting lineup, while Washington proceeds with Marcus Mariota and has Jayden Daniels and Chig Okonkwo inactive.

    Keep cover for the later windows

    Brock Bowers is expected to play, Mike Evans plans to play, and Zay Flowers faces a pregame workout and game-time decision, according to Sunday reporting. All three remain officially questionable at this cutoff. Keep usable late alternatives until the relevant inactive lists arrive. Puka Nacua remains doubtful for Sunday night, with Colby Parkinson and Marvin Mims Jr. questionable.

    Chicago’s Monday quarterback decision remains unresolved: Caleb Williams is out, Tyson Bagent remains questionable and in concussion protocol, and Case Keenum is the alternative. Philadelphia has ruled out Dallas Goedert and Marquise Brown, while Saquon Barkley and DeVonta Smith have no game designation. Resolve Sunday replacements before their games lock.

    These calls assume a typical 12-team, full-PPR, one-QB league. Completed Thursday results remain historical; the Week 2 usage and leader tables retain their original period. Use the lineup guide, waiver options and Injury Watch, or inspect the 32 team formations and player profiles. Every team’s checked report and sources appear below.

    Remaining decision windows

    The early Sunday inactive lists are confirmed for the 11 a.m. MDT / 1 p.m. ET games. Afternoon games begin at 2:05 and 2:25 p.m. MDT; Sunday night begins at 6:20 p.m. MDT. Monday’s Philadelphia–Chicago game begins at 6:15 p.m. MDT. Confirm each later active list and your platform’s lock rules before relying on a replacement.
