Demario Douglas Won't Return Sunday

New England Patriots wide receiver Demario Douglas (head) has been ruled out for the remainder of Week 5 versus the New Orleans Saints. The rookie had initially been listed as questionable before his status was downgraded. He finished the game with two targets, one catch, and 24 receiving yards. DeVante Parker, Kendrick Bourne, and JuJu […]

Javonte Williams Inactive For Week 5 Versus Jets

Denver Broncos running back Javonte Williams (quadricep) is officially inactive for Sunday's game against the New York Jets. He had been listed as questionable and was a true game-time decision. However, after a series of pregame tests, the Broncos decided he is not healthy enough to play. We should see a heavy dose of rookie […]

Anthony Richardson Downgraded To Out Sunday

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson (shoulder) has been downgraded to out for the remainder of Week 5 against the Tennessee Titans. He suffered a serious shoulder injury during the first half of Sunday's game and was taken to the locker room. The team initially listed him as questionable before ruling him out during the second […]

Rashaad Penny Inactive Versus Rams

Philadelphia Eagles running back Rashaad Penny (illness) is officially inactive for Week 5 versus the Los Angeles Rams. He appeared on the injury report Saturday as a late addition and was listed as doubtful. Penny hasn't played a down since Week 2, so his absence won't shake things up too much on offense. Look for […]

Keaontay Ingram Officially Inactive For Week 5

Arizona Cardinals running back Keaontay Ingram (neck) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Cincinnati Bengals. Ingram opened the year as Arizona's No. 2 running back but will miss his second consecutive contest. Once again, Emari Demercado will operate behind James Conner, presumably getting some third-down reps. He's not on the fantasy radar for Week […]

Anthony Richardson Questionable To Return In Week 5

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson (shoulder) is officially questionable to return against the Tennessee Titans. He suffered a serious shoulder injury during the first half of Sunday's game and was taken to the locker room. While the Colts have left the door open for the rookie to return, it would be surprising to see him […]

Derek Carr Officially Active For Week 5

New Orleans Saints quarterback Derek Carr (shoulder) is officially active for Week 5 despite being listed as questionable. Ian Rapoport of NFL Network previously reported that Carr "is in a better place health-wise than last week" when he went 23-for-37 with 127 yards, zero touchdowns, and one fumble lost. Carr was initially expected to be inactive for […]

Zay Jones Questionable To Return Sunday

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Zay Jones (knee) is questionable to return against the Buffalo Bills in Week 5. The receiver injured himself in the third quarter of Sunday's game. At the time of his departure, Jones had caught three of five targets for 23 yards and one touchdown. It's worth noting that Jones was questionable […]

Josh Reynolds, Jameson Williams Active For Week 5

Detroit Lions wide receivers Josh Reynolds (groin) and Jameson Williams (non-injury) are active for Sunday's game against the Carolina Panthers. Both players had been listed as questionable. Reynolds, Williams, and Kalif Raymond should all see more opportunities in Amon St. Brown's (abdomen) absence, though Reynolds has the most fantasy appeal of the bunch. It's worth […]

Jahmyr Gibbs, Amon-Ra St. Brown Officially Inactive Sunday

Detroit Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs (hamstring) and wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown (abdomen) are officially inactive for Week 5 versus the Carolina Panthers. Both players had been listed as doubtful, so their absences come as no surprise. David Montgomery will continue to handle lead-back duties with Gibbs sidelined and could be in line for […]

Saquon Barkley Officially Inactive For Week 5

New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley (ankle) is officially inactive for Week 5 versus the Miami Dolphins. He had been listed as questionable, though the expectation was that he would not suit up. Barkley will miss yet another week due to his high-ankle sprain, giving Matt Breida his third consecutive start. Despite the expanded […]

Rashaad Penny Doubtful For Week 5

Philadelphia Eagles running back Rashaad Penny (illness) has been added to the injury report and is doubtful to play against the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday. Penny hasn't played a down since Week 2, so his absence won't shake things up too much on offense. Look for D'Andre Swift to start, Kenneth Gainwell to carve […]

Jonathan Taylor, Zack Moss To Split Snaps Sunday

Indianapolis Colts running backs Jonathan Taylor and Zack Moss are expected to split snaps in Week 5 versus the Tennessee Titans, per NFL Network's Mike Garafolo. Taylor is making his season debut after spending four weeks on the PUP list, so Indianapolis will ease him back into action by giving Moss a steady dose of […]

Matt Milano Won't Return In Week 5

Buffalo Bills linebacker Matt Milano (knee) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game versus the Jacksonville Jaguars. Milano exited in the first quarter and was eventually carted to the locker room. Rookie Dorian Williams should see a significant uptick in snaps for the duration of Milano's absence.

Kenny Pickett Won't Have Full Mobility Sunday

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Kenny Pickett (knee) is not expected to have his full mobility in Week 5 versus the Baltimore Ravens, per NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Pickett exited Week 4 early, and although he has been cleared to play on Sunday, it sounds like he won't be 100 percent. Limited mobility could impact Pickett's ability […]

Cooper Kupp Has No Limitations In Season Debut

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp (hamstring) is active for Week 5 versus the Philadelphia Eagles and is not expected to have any limitations, per ESPN's Adam Schefter. The star receiver should see a full workload in his first game back, making him an immediate WR1 for fantasy purposes. His return could lead to […]

Chase Claypool To Remain Inactive For Week 5

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Chase Claypool will be inactive for Sunday's game against the New York Giants, per NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Claypool was traded from the Bears to the Dolphins on Friday, and while Miami seems intent on incorporating the young receiver into its offense, it's too quick of a turnaround to expect him […]

John Metchie III Expected To Play In Week 5

Houston Texans wide receiver John Metchie III (illness) is expected to be active for Sunday's game against the Atlanta Falcons, per NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Metchie had been listed as questionable but seemed likely to play after practicing in full on Friday. However, the young receiver is not on the fantasy radar as he remains […]

Laremy Tunsil, Tytus Howard Expected Back For Week 5

Houston Texans offensive tackles Laremy Tunsil (knee) and Tytus Howard (hand) are both expected to be active for Sunday's game against the Atlanta Falcons, per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. Tunsil, who is listed as questionable, hasn't played since Week 1. Meanwhile, Howard has been on IR since August and will make his 2023 debut […]

Javonte Williams To Be Game-Time Decision Sunday

Denver Broncos running back Javonte Williams (quadricep) will undergo a series of pre-game tests to determine whether he can play versus the New York Jets on Sunday, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Williams is listed as questionable, and although he practiced in a full capacity on Friday, it's no guarantee that he plays in Week […]

Khalil Herbert To Miss Several Weeks

Chicago Bears running back Khalil Herbert (ankle) is expected to miss several weeks after suffering a concerning injury in Thursday's win over the Washington Commanders, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero. Herbert departed that contest after rushing 10 times for 76 yards, and although he said postgame that he was "fine," the injury appears to […]

Derek Carr Expected To Play Versus Patriots

New Orleans Saints quarterback Derek Carr (shoulder) is expected to suit up in Week 5 despite being listed as questionable. Furthermore, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport notes that the veteran signal-caller "is in a better place health-wise than last week." Rapoport is referring to a disappointing Week 4 in which Carr went 23-for-37 with 127 yards, […]

Jameson Williams To Have Limited Role Sunday

Detroit Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams is expected to have a limited role in Week 5 as he makes his season debut following a four-game suspension. The Lions officially listed Williams as questionable as he ramps back up to game speed, and while the second-year wideout will play, NFL Network's Tom Pelissero expects him to […]

Von Miller Active Sunday, Will Make Season Debut

Buffalo Bills linebacker Von Miller (knee) is active for Week 5 versus the Jacksonville Jaguars. He had been listed as questionable after being limited in practice all week long. Ultimately, the veteran is suiting up Sunday, though he is expected to operate on a snap count. When Miller steps on the field, he'll be making […]

Zay Jones, Jamal Agnew Active For Week 5

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receivers Zay Jones (knee) and Jamal Agnew (quadricep) are officially active for Sunday's game against the Buffalo Bills in London. Both players had been listed as questionable after being limited in practice all week long. Jones' return marks the end of a two-game absence and adds another wrinkle to a passing attack […]

Patriots Defense Has Top-12 Upside In Week 5

The New England Patriots D/ST is a borderline top-12 option heading into Week 5 versus the New Orleans Saints. While the Patriots' defense is no longer the elite unit that it once was, it bears mentioning that New England drew a tough start to the season with games against the Eagles, Dolphins, and Cowboys. The […]

Chad Ryland Not A Strong Option For Week 5

New England Patriots kicker Chad Ryland can be left on fantasy football waivers for Week 5. The Patriots are looking to bounce back against the New Orleans Saints, and while they could absolutely do so, that doesn't guarantee success for Ryland. The rookie kicker is 5-for-5 on extra points but just 4-for-7 on field goals […]

Hunter Henry A Fringe Option Versus Saints

New England Patriots tight end Hunter Henry is a borderline top-12 fantasy option heading into his Week 5 clash with the New Orleans Saints. Henry has quieted down since exploding over the first two weeks of the season, but he has still played well. Just last week, when it seemed like nothing went right for […]

Ezekiel Elliott Unlikely To Have Fantasy Appeal In Week 5

New England Patriots running back Ezekiel Elliott is not a reliable fantasy football option heading into Week 5 versus the New Orleans Saints. For the most part, he has struggled to get things going on the ground this season. That includes last Sunday when Elliott, who was supposed to see a larger workload, mustered just […]
