Erika Alexander‘s Emmys chances are rising with “The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins.”

Variety has learned that veteran comedian Tracy Morgan, who plays the title character — a former football star trying to get his life back on track — will be the sole submission in the lead acting categories. Alexander, who plays Monica, Reggie’s quick-witted, no-nonsense ex-wife and agent, will be submitted for supporting comedy actress race, a move that raises her chances significantly for her long overdue Television Academy recognition. Her co-star Precious Way joins her in the same category, while Daniel Radcliffe, Jalyn Hall, and Bobby Moynihan are up for supporting actor. Additional category submissions will announce at a later date.
