Of Andre and Calvin , the former seemed more likely to miss last weekend's game than the latter.

But Andre suited up for the Texans on Sunday against Buffalo while Calvin, coming off a bye week, was unable to make the active roster for Detroit in a tasty matchup against St. Louis. Point, Andre.

Megatron is getting closer to seeing the field on game day according to his head coach, but getting closer is not good enough for his fantasy owners. Not having a WR1 in the lineup during non-idle weeks is a crushing blow to fantasy rosters, especially now during the playoff push.

Keep an eye on Calvin's practice participation today, tomorrow and Friday. If he can shed a questionable label and/or practice in non-limited fashion, his chances of starting this Sunday will improve drastically.
