Recent News
Jacory Croskey-Merritt (groin) ruled out Monday
Jacory Croskey-Merritt has been ruled out for Monday's game against the 49ers.
Fantasy impact: Croskey-Merritt was unable to practice this week. Rachaad White and Austin Ekeler will lead the Commanders backfield.
Stefon Diggs (hamstring) listed questionable Monday
Stefon Diggs is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the 49ers.
Fantasy impact: Diggs returned to practice on Friday. He'll be a game-time decision on Monday, but he seems to be trending in the right direction.
A.J. Brown (ankle) activated from IR
The Patriots activated A.J. Brown from injured reserve.
Fantasy impact: Brown will make his return for the first time since Week 1. He'll be a WR2 with some risk in his first game back for fantasy managers.
Deebo Samuel Sr. (hamstring) ruled out Monday
Deebo Samuel Sr. has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Commanders.
Fantasy impact: Samuel will miss at least one game as expected. He remains week-to-week.
Mike Evans (ribs/Achilles) listed questionable Monday
Mike Evans has been listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Commanders.
Fantasy impact: Evans was unable to practice through Friday. He will be a game-time decision on Monday.
Ja'Kobi Lane (wrist) activated off of IR, will play against Cleveland
Ja'Kobi Lane (wrist) has been activated from IR, clearing the way for him to return against Cleveland.
Fantasy impact: Lane has been out since fracturing his wrist in Week 1, so it will be interesting to see what his snap counts and route shares look like after the IR stint. The team praised him all offseason and focused on him during his brief playing time in Week 1, so hopefully he will be able to find himself a decent role as the WR2 of the offense.
Caleb Williams (hamstring) starting for the Bears Sunday
Caleb Williams (hamstring) is the starter for the Bears on Sunday against the Falcons. After a few weeks' absence, the franchise QB is back.
Fantasy impact: Williams was initially questionable to play, but the Bears are now planning on getting him back in the lineup after a week of practice where he took starter reps. It will be interesting to see Caleb in a more "regular" game and how it affects the pass catchers, who have only played with Caleb in one normal game, and even that "normal" game saw copious amounts of production from the running backs.
Jalen Hurts (blood clot) placed on IR
Jalen Hurts (blood clot) has been placed on IR due to a blood clot.
Fantasy impact: At first the Eagles were not going to place him on IR, but after further consultations, they have decided to make that move. Tanner McKee will start in his place for at least the next four games, with Carolina on tap tomorrow. All the pass catchers will likely see a downtick in production, but should still be usable if McKee is halfway decent.
Pat Freiermuth (calf) now questionable Sunday
Pat Freiermuth has been added to the injury report as questionable for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers.
Fantasy impact: Freiermuth was a late addition to the injury report with a calf injury. His status will need to be monitored Sunday morning.
DK Metcalf (illness) off injury report Sunday
DK Metcalf is off the injury report for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers.
Fantasy impact: Metcalf had been listed as questionable with an illness. He'll be good to go with the Steelers wide receiver room depleted.
Denzel Boston (foot) good to go for Sunday
Denzel Boston (foot) is good to go for Sunday's game against the Baltimore Ravens.
Fantasy impact: The rookie will be good to go on Sunday, despite dealing with a foot injury at practice throughout the week. He has been good through the first five weeks of the season and can safely be started in most league formats at this point.
Tyler Higbee off injury report Sunday
Tyler Higbee is off the injury report for Sunday's game against the Cardinals.
Fantasy impact: Higbee will be good to go despite not practicing on Friday.
Zay Flowers (toe) good to go for Sunday
Zay Flowers (toe) is good to go for Sunday's game against the Cleveland Browns.
Fantasy impact: Baltimore's star wide receiver will be available to play on Sunday, despite still dealing with a minor toe injury of some kind. Fantasy managers shouldn't hesitate to start him this week, although his ceiling will be considerably lower than usual with QB Lamar Jackson (ankle) set to be sidelined for another week.
Tyjae Spears (knee) questionable for Sunday
Tyjae Spears (knee) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Indianapolis Colts.
Fantasy impact: Spears is uncertain to play on Sunday. He is managing a nagging knee issue of some kind right now, but he was able to log a full practice on Friday still, which is a good sign that he will play through it. He will be worth keeping an eye on in this matchup if active, as he saw high involvement in the team's passing game last week.
DJ Moore (shoulder) in non-contact jersey Friday in practice
DJ Moore was in a non-contact jersey in practice on Friday.
Fantasy impact: Moore returned to practice, but in limited fashion. His status will need to be monitored on the official injury report.
Josh Downs (hamstring) good to go for Sunday
Josh Downs (hamstring) is good to go for Sunday's game against the Tennessee Titans.
Fantasy impact: Downs will be available to play on Sunday, despite popping up on Indianapolis' injury report earlier in the week with a hamstring issue. Look for him to see a large portion of Indianapolis' passing work against the Titans on Sunday, especially if Tyler Warren (groin) is ruled out.
Dontayvion Wicks (hamstring) off injury report Sunday
Dontayvion Wicks is off the injury report for Sunday's game against the Panthers.
Fantasy impact: Wicks returned to a full practice on Friday after he missed practice on Thursday.
Tyler Warren (groin) now questionable for Sunday
Tyler Warren (groin) is now questionable for Sunday's game against the Tennessee Titans.
Fantasy impact: Warren is a surprise addition to Indianapolis' injury report. He seems to have aggravated his groin late in the practice week and was limited on Friday, and it may very well leave him sidelined in Week 6. Fantasy managers should keep close tabs on updates about his health over the next couple of days and should have a backup option ready in case the young tight end is ruled out.
Sean Tucker (quad) questionable for Sunday
Sean Tucker (quad) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Fantasy impact: Tucker will have a chance to play on Sunday, though he's still dealing with a quad injury and may very well be sidelined as a result. Fantasy managers should expect Kenny Gainwell to see a bit more work if that's the case.
DeVonta Smith (hamstring/toe) off injury report Sunday
DeVonta Smith is off the injury report for Sunday's game against the Panthers.
Fantasy impact: Smith was able to end the week with a full practice on Friday. He'll be a WR2 play with Tanner McKee behind center for the Eagles.
Saquon Barkley (hamstring) ruled out Sunday
Saquon Barkley has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Panthers.
Fantasy impact: Barkley will remain sidelined after not practicing all week. Dameon Pierce is in line to lead the Eagles backfield.
