        Willie Gay Jr. LB NO

        Willie Gay Jr. active vs. Dolphins, but don't use him

        Willie Gay Jr. active vs. Dolphins, but don't use him

        Chiefs LB Willie Gay Jr. (lower back) is active for today's game against the Dolphins. He still shouldn't be in IDP lineups, though. Gay is averaging just 3.9 total tackles per game on the year with limited big plays. Drue Tranquill should be the only K.C. LB in consideration for your lineup. We've re-added Gay (low) into the Week 9 LB rankings after he seemed to be trending toward missing the game, and LB Leo Chenal has dropped out.

        Chiefs LB Willie Gay Jr. (lower back) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Dolphins. He put in limited practices Thursday and Friday after missing Wednesday's workout. Gay isn't worth waiting for in your IDP lineup unless you absolutely need him, though. He sits outside the top 50 LBs across formats, reaching 6 tackles only twice and not yet exceeding that number in a game. Gay has run a clear second even when Drue Tranquill has started in place of an injured Nick Bolton (as is the case now). Leo Chenal should be Gay's fill-in if he goes inactive in Germany.
