Byes: Buffalo, Cleveland, Oakland, St. Louis, Minnesota, N.Y. Jets.

UPDATE: Redskins tight end Fred Davis will start with normal starter Chris Cooley out this week.

UPDATE: Falcons wide receiver Roddy White is, as expected, active today. He's MattRyan's No. 1 target; If he's on your roster, start him.

Tight end Chris Cooley, who broke his right ankle against the Eagles before Washington's bye week, has a follow-up appointment Monday and could be out for the year. The Redskins are definitely missing two other guys (punter Hunter Smith, cornerback Bryon Westbrook), while linebacker H.B. Blades and safety Chris Horton are listed as questionable.

Falcons wide receiver Roddy Whitewill play, even though he's listed as questionable. Offensive tackle Sam Baker will play, too; Defensive end John Abraham and defensive tackle Jonathan Babineaux are also both listed as questionable.

UPDATE: A report saysCardinals receiver Anquan Boldin will be inactive for today's game He's battling a high ankle sprain and could definitely use the week off.

UPDATE: Bears wide receiver Devin Harris and defensive tackle Tommie Harrisare both active today and will play.

The bad news: The Cardinals' AnquanBoldin is, once again, a game-time decision. The good news: It's an early game so you'll find out before you have to set your lineup. Boldin sprained his ankle on Oct. 11, put up decent enough numbers the next two weeks, then left the game in the third quarter last week. Boldin's injury is a high ankle sprain, which are notoriously slow to heal. He's listed as questionable but, even if he plays, might not put up big numbers. If you can plug in another receiver, do so. On the defensive side, end Kenny Iwebema and linebacker GeraldHayes are listed as questionable.
