Be sure to check all of our fantasy football rankings for 2025:

 

Joe Mixon Injury Update

Mixon (ankle) is expected to be active on Sunday against the Patriots. He'll return to the lineup for the first time since Week 2, ranking as a fantasy RB2 with a favorable matchup on tap.

 

Anthony Richardson Injury Update

Richardson (oblique) is expected to play in Week 6 despite being listed as questionable. He returns to his starting role in place of Joe Flacco, who was serviceable in the second-year quarterback's absence. Richardson ranks as a high-end fantasy QB2 against the Titans.

 

Michael Pittman Jr. Injury Update

Pittman (back) is expected to play on Sunday against the Titans. He saw his best numbers of the season with Joe Flacco and could see his production scaled back with Richardson back in the mix. Pittman is a mid-to-high fantasy WR3 for Week 6.

 

Diontae Johnson Injury Update

Johnson (ankle) is expected to play in Week 6 despite being listed as questionable. He has demonstrated a solid rapport with Andy Dalton and will rank as a mid-to-low fantasy WR2 against the Falcons this week.

 

Jakobi Meyers Injury Update

Meyers (ankle) has been downgraded to doubtful for Week 6 against the Steelers. Barring an unforeseen development, Las Vegas will be without both Meyers and Davante Adams (hamstring). The Raiders' passing attack should run through Brock Bowers, Tre Tucker, and DJ Turner on Sunday.

 

Josh Downs Injury Update

Downs (toe) is expected to play in Week 6. The 23-year-old was absurdly productive through two games with Flacco, catching 17 passes for 151 yards and one touchdown. It's unclear whether he can maintain this level of production with Richardson under center, but he's still a speculative WR3 in fantasy football.

 

Evan Engram Injury Update

Engram (hamstring) is officially active for Week 6 against the Bears in London. He should have an immediate role upon his return, ranking as a low-end TE2 in fantasy football.

 

Zamir White Injury Update

White (groin) is questionable to play in Week 6, but NFL Network's Ian Rapoport described him as a "long-shot" to suit up. Alexander Mattison appears poised to lead Las Vegas' backfield once again on Sunday.

 

Gabe Davis Injury Update

Davis (knee) is officially active for Week 6 against the Bears in London. He has seen a relatively high snap share but limited production through five games this year. As a result, he can be avoided in most fantasy leagues.

 

Matt Prater Injury Update

Prater (knee) is not expected to play in Week 6. The Cardinals will rely on Chad Ryland to handle kicking duties against the Packers on Sunday.
