Dean Henderson - Heroic for draw Henderson made seven saves and three clearances in Tuesday's 0-0 draw against Brighton & Hove Albion.
Impact Henderson made seven saves to keep a clean sheet and earn the draw in an absolutely heroic showing. The goalkeeper has been one of the highest variance options in the Premier League, but he has shown the ability to make up for the duds with brilliant showings such as Tuesday's. Henderson will be tough to trust against the dangerous attacks of Liverpool and Arsenal in his next two outings.

Neco Williams - Five interceptions in draw Williams had two crosses (zero accurate) and zero chances created in Tuesday's 0-0 draw against Brighton & Hove Albion.
Impact Williams made five interceptions and two tackles as he was tasked with shutting down the Brighton attack and given few chances to get forward. The full-back has been a consistent option going forward for the most part, but a switch to left-back cut down almost all of his offensive chances Tuesday as he struggled to get the ball on his favored right foot. If Williams remains at left-back it's worth knocking down his offensive volume across the board moving forward.

Ryan Yates - Busy in draw Yates had one shot (zero on goal) in Tuesday's 0-0 draw against Brighton & Hove Albion.
Impact Yates was right in the middle of a tightly-contested draw and ended up committing four fouls. The midfielder led the way with two blocks while also drawing three fouls and winning four duels. While Yates has little offensive upside his role in central midfield keeps him involved week-to-week, and gives him the chance to fill the stat sheet defensively.

Morgan Gibbs-White - Limited opportunity in draw Gibbs-White had three crosses (one accurate) and one corner in Tuesday's 0-0 draw against Brighton & Hove Albion.
Impact Gibbs-White created two chances, but was largely held off the ball as he struggled to get any service or chances. The forward has been the talisman everything going forward flows through during his first nine matches with Nottingham Forest and that doesn't seem likely to change. With a solid fantasy floor and some upside Gibbs-White will continue to be a strong play moving forward.

Harry Toffolo - Picks up knock Toffolo was brought off in the 86th minute of Tuesday's clash with Brighton with a knock.
Impact Toffolo only spent a little more than 20 minute on the pitch after coming on for Serge Aurier earlier in the second half. Aurier would be a nailed-on starter more likely than not if Toffolo is set to miss any time. Toffolo's first chance to return is a Saturday clash with Liverpool.

Serge Aurier - Starting against Brighton Aurier (muscular) is in the starting XI for Tuesday's match against Brighton.
Impact Aurier gets the surprise start Tuesday despite dealing with a muscular issue in recent days and missing the match over the weekend. Given that he went just 58 minutes in his last start (Oct. 10), it's hard to see him going much longer than that with Harry Toffolo an option off the bench.

Lewis O'Brien - Hopes to overcome illness O'Brien missed Saturday's match against Wolves due to an illness and will hope to be back as soon as Tuesday's trip to Brighton, according to manager Steve Cooper via the Nottingha...
Impact O'Brien has started just once in three appearances over the last five matches and didn't play for more than 45 minutes in those games until this illness knocked him out entirely over the weekend. A changing formation leaves less space for midfielders but a busy schedule should still give room for O'Brien to join the lineup when ready, likely at the expense of Cheikhou Kouyate.

Renan Lodi - Dealing with ankle knock Lodi has suffered a mild ankle sprain which caused him to miss Saturday's loss to Wolves and will remain in question for Tuesday's match against Brighton, according to manager Stev...
Impact Judging by the prognosis, Lodi might not be out for much longer, so he could be back by Saturday's match against Liverpool if he's not available Tuesday. With starts in all four of his appearances when fit, Harry Toffolo will need to move elsewhere when Lodi does make his return.

Serge Aurier - Has muscular issue Aurier is likely in doubt to face Brighton on Tuesday due to a muscular injury, per manager Steve Cooper via the Nottingham Post. "(Aurier) played in the Leicester and Villa games....
Impact Aurier has played just twice this season and didn't take long for a fresh injury to send him back to the sidelines. Even if he doesn't play Tuesday, there's still four more games to play before the World Cup break in mid-November. While Aurier is out, Neco Williams appears to be the top option on the right defensive flank, starting in that spot for all but one of his 10 appearances.

Impact Colback hasn't played in over a month as he deals with this back issue, and it seems unlikely he will be fit in time for the Wolves game on Saturday. He started the Premier League opener back in early August but has struggled through injuries and ailments ever since.

Impact Niakhate has been out since August with a hamstring injury and is still no closer to fitness almost two months later. Scott McKenna, Steve Cook and Joe Worrall have been Forest's main center-backs in his absence, meanwhile Niakhate is looking doubtful to be able to even contend for a spot in Senegal's World Cup roster.
