Monday Night Football: Bills WR DJ Moore, CB Dee Alford are inactive
The Bills will not have wide receiver DJ Moore for Monday Night Football. Moore is among the team’s inactives, sitting out after aggravating an AC sprain in his left shoulder. He has 12 catches for 178 yards and a touchdown this season. Cornerback Dee Alford (ankle) also will not play. Rookie wide receiver Skyler Bell and rookie cornerback Jalon Kilgore are active for the first time. Kilgore could join Damar Hamlin in helping replace Alford in the nickel. The Bills’ other inactives are wide receiver Joshua Palmer (shoulder), offensive lineman Jude Bowry, offensive lineman Ar’maj Reed-Adams, defensive lineman Ed Oliver (knee) and defensive lineman Landon Jackson (knee). The Rams will have safety Quentin Lake, who was questionable with a hip injury. Their inactives are wide receiver C.J. Daniels, quarterback Ty Simpson, defensive end Larrell Murchison, offensive lineman Bill Murray and tight end Max Klare

Skyler Bell - NFL debut on tap
sleeper-rotowire+2 stories · 30dSource unavailable
Bell will make his NFL regular-season debut against the Rams on Monday due to the absence of Joshua Palmer (shoulder), Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network reports. Bell has been a healthy scratch for each of the Bills' first four games of the regular season. However, he's expected to absorb Palmer's reps during Monday's game, and Bell could take on an even larger role if DJ Moore (shoulder) is also ruled out. Khalil Shakir, Keon Coleman and tight end Dalton Kincaid figure to be Josh Allen's go-to pass catchers if Moore cannot play, but Bell will at least be in the mix for targets in his NFL debut

Skyler Bell Expected to Make Regular-Season Debut Against Rams
Buffalo Bills rookie wide receiver Skyler Bell is expected to make his regular-season debut Monday night against the Los Angeles Rams. Head coach Joe Brady confirmed that the fourth-round pick will be active and have a role in the game, according to Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network. Bell has been a healthy scratch through Buffalo's first four games, but injuries have created an opening in the receiving corps. Joshua Palmer (shoulder) has been ruled out, while DJ Moore (shoulder) is questionable. Bell showed some promise in the preseason finale against Pittsburgh, catching seven passes for 49 yards and adding a 28-yard rushing touchdown. That performance gives Buffalo reason to get him involved, although Brady hasn't indicated how much offensive work the rookie will receive. Khalil Shakir, Keon Coleman and tight end Dalton Kincaid remain more established targets for Josh Allen. Bell is worth monitoring in deeper fantasy leagues, but his uncertain workload makes him difficult to trust in starting lineups for Week 5

DJ Moore will play for the Bills on Sunday
Bills wide receiver DJ Moore hurt his shoulder in a Week 2 win over the Lions, but he had more than a week to recover from the injury and that was enough time for him to get cleared for action. Moore is active for the Bills as they try to move to 3-0 on the season at home against the 0-2 Chargers. The Bills will also get defensive tackle Ed Oliver back in the lineup. Oliver missed the Lions game after injuring his hip in pregame warmups and was listed as questionable along with Moore and wide receiver Keon Coleman. Coleman is also active for Buffalo while backup quarterback Trey Lance is active for the Chargers. DJ Uiagalelei was summoned from the practice squad as insurance after Lance was listed as questionable, but there will be no change behind Justin Herbert.

Skyler Bell - Inactive again Sunday
sleeper-rotowire+3 stories · 30dSource unavailable
Bell (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Chargers. With Keon Coleman (ankle) and DJ Moore (shoulder) at risk of missing this contest, there was a chance Bell would be needed to suit up Sunday. However, Coleman and Moore are good to go, meaning Bell's next chance to get on the field will come in Week 4 for the AFC East clash with the Patriots

Joey Porter is inactive for the Steelers
A report on Sunday morning indicated cornerback Joey Porter Jr. was unlikely to be in the Steelers’ lineup for their season-opening game against the Falcons and official word on his status came 90 minutes before kickoff in Pittsburgh. Porter is officially inactive for the game. Porter was listed as questionable with a back injury after spending all of training camp on the physically unable to perform list. Porter’s inactivity this summer was also thought to be connected to his desire for a contract extension that never came together. That has reportedly opened the door to a trade as the Steelers have a team policy against negotiating contracts during the regular season. Updates on where things stand with Porter for Week 2’s game against the Patriots and beyond will likely come this week. For Sunday, though, he’ll just be a spectator.

Skyler Bell - Healthy scratch Week 1
sleeper-rotowire+3 stories · 30dSource unavailable
Bell (coach's decision) is inactive Week 1 against the Texans. Bell didn't appear on the injury report at all this week, so it appears the rookie fourth-round pick will be a healthy scratch. While Bell still has a promising long-term outlook after a solid Week 3 effort in the preseason, this doesn't bode well for anyone hoping for early-season utility. In his stead, veteran Greg Dortch, who was elevated from the practice squad Saturday, will get the nod on the active roster

Skyler Bell Won't Make His NFL Debut in Week 1
Buffalo Bills rookie wide receiver Skyler Bell (coach's decision) is a healthy scratch for Week 1 against the Houston Texans. Bell entered this weekend listed fourth on the depth chart, largely thanks to a productive first training camp. He even caught seven passes for 49 yards throughout the preseason. However, his NFL debut will have to wait at least another week. Joshua Palmer should step into the No. 4 role, and Greg Dortch was elevated from the practice squad on Saturday to round out the Bills' depth chart. DJ Moore remains the only Bills receiver who should be started in all 12+ team leagues, but Khalil Shakir may have some low-end appeal in deeper 14+ team formats

Skyler Bell - Won't play Saturday
sleeper-rotowire+3 stories · 30dSource unavailable
Bell (lower body) will not participate in Saturday's preseason game against the Browns, Jay Skurski of The Buffalo News reports. Bell has been limited in practice due to a lower-body injury he sustained in practice before last week's preseason opener against the Panthers. The Bills made it clear the injury was very surmountable, but the team is being careful with the rookie fourth-rounder until the regular season commences
