Injuries
Hall and Lamar are out. Allen is the move to make now.
The early inactive lists are in: Hall and Montgomery sit, Huntley starts, and Puka still needs a later check.

Bench Lamar and Hall. Start Allen if your backfield needs a hand.
Hall, Jackson and Montgomery are confirmed absences for the early Sunday games.
The waiting is over for Breece Hall. He's on the Jets' inactive list against Miami, so Braelon Allen goes from an insurance policy to someone you can actually use. If he's sitting on your bench while you debate a thin flex option, put him in. If he's still available, stop reading and check.
Allen gets the clearer job, but New York is also missing Dylan Parham. That matters. We want the touches; we don't need to pretend the rest of the offense has suddenly become perfect. Isaiah Davis can still take work, so this is a strong opportunity rather than a claim on every carry.
Huntley is cover, not a reason to chase
Lamar Jackson is out for a third straight game. Tyler Huntley starts against Cincinnati. Use him if you need a superflex quarterback; leave him behind a healthy established starter in a shallower lineup. The sensible emergency play and the player you would choose with a full roster are different decisions.
Keep Derrick Henry in. Zay Flowers remains a starting option, but the case for him is less comfortable than it would have been with Lamar. Don't turn the quarterback change into a blanket benching of Baltimore's best players.
Montgomery sits; Marks gets the useful opening
Houston has confirmed David Montgomery inactive against the Giants. Woody Marks is the back to check if you still need cover. He belongs ahead of a speculative Monday reserve whose role depends on another player sitting. Jawhar Jordan is still part of the picture; Marks does not need every touch to be the useful pickup.
Puka is a later decision
Puka Nacua remains questionable in the latest Rams report we've verified. Don't mistake an early inactive roundup for his final clearance. If you keep him in, keep a later receiver or flex option available too. A bench full of players who have already kicked off is no cover at all.
Our final start/sit calls cover the swaps still worth making. Allen versus Marks is the more useful question if both are available. Neither Hall nor Lamar belongs in an active slot today.
For Puka, act on the Rams' final inactive list. For Allen, change course only if New York reports a restriction or a different backfield plan.
