1 day agoNew Orleans Saints tight end
Taysom Hill (ribs) was missing from practice for the second straight day this week on Friday. Hill fractured his ribs in the Week 4 loss to the division-rival Atlanta Falcons and is now looking doubtful to be able to play on Monday night against the Kansas City Chiefs. He will need to return to some form of practice on Saturday to give himself a shot to suit up this week. Hill has already missed one game due to injury in 2024 and could be well on his way to another absence. The 34-year-old versatile offensive piece had his best game of the year last week, carrying the ball six times for 24 yards and two touchdowns, but he wasn't targeted in the passing attack. Hill has mostly been used as a runner (14 carries) moreso than a receiver (three targets) this year and remains a volatile boom/bust TE2 in fantasy when he's active.

1 day agoHouston Texans wide receiver
Robert Woods (foot) popped up on the injury report this week on Thursday and was labeled as a DNP. Woods returned to practice in limited fashion on Friday but is now questionable to play in Week 5 against the visiting Buffalo Bills. The good news for Texans' receiving corps is that they are getting back second-year wideout
Tank Dell (concussion) after he missed the Week 4 win over the division-rival Jacksonville Jaguars. With Dell sidelined last weekend, Woods caught just one of his three targets for 10 yards. He was not targeted at all in the first two weeks of the season and has only three catches (five targets) for 28 yards through the first four weeks of 2024. The 32-year-old veteran is buried too far down on Houston's receiver depth chart to make a difference in the vast majority of fantasy leagues.

1 day agoArizona Cardinals running back
James Conner is a low-end RB2 against the San Francisco 49ers in Week 5. He quickly eased fantasy managers' concerns last week by bouncing back from a season-low performance, racking up 104 yards and a touchdown against the Washington Commanders last week. The Cardinals will face a solid 49ers front seven, which could lead to a tougher outing for Conner. The Cardinals are large underdogs, and if they find themselves trailing, they may shift to a pass-heavy attack, limiting Conner's usage. However, he still has enough touchdown upside to warrant RB2 status in Week 5.

1 day agoNew York Giants running back
Devin Singletary (groin) is currently listed as doubtful for the Week 5 matchup against the Seattle Seahawks. The good news is that Singletary returned to practice on Friday after sitting out the first two practices of the week. Sadly, it doesn't seem like it was too encouraging of a practice considering he's unlikely to suit up this weekend. His absence would likely mean that
Tyrone Tracy Jr. would be in line to see extended run. Tracy has rushed for 29 yards on 12 attempts in his limited role this season. The Giants will likely see some type of committee role between Tracy and
Eric Gray.

1 day agoArizona Cardinals quarterback
Kyler Murray and the passing attack have cooled off a bit after a strong start. In Week 5, the Cardinals will travel to San Francisco to face the 49ers, ranked 11th against opposing fantasy quarterbacks. In last week's loss to the Washington Commanders, Murray struggled, failing to break 200 passing yards and only running the ball once. While this performance raises some concerns, it's not time to bench him in fantasy just yet. He remains one of the most explosive players on the field, with the potential for big fantasy outings. Despite his recent struggles, he has done an excellent job protecting the ball all season, with only one turnover. As significant underdogs against the 49ers, if the Cardinals fall behind and need to shift to a pass-heavy offense, Murray can quickly rack up fantasy points. He should be considered a low-end QB1 in Week 5.

1 day agoLas Vegas Raiders running back
Zamir White (groin) is currently considered doubtful to suit up for the Week 5 matchup against the Denver Broncos. White was limited on Wednesday and didn't suit up for practice at all on Thursday. The Raiders already said fellow back
Alexander Mattison was going to get increased reps this week. Now, Mattison could be the lead back with White unlikely to play. Mattison did a nice job last week as he rushed for 60 yards on five carries. He won't get an easy task against the Broncos defense, but increased snaps should help his value. He should be considered a low-end flex option, assuming White is unable to play.

1 day agoChicago Bears tight end
Cole Kmet (knee) has been removed from the injury report ahead of the Week 5 matchup against the Carolina Panthers. Kmet popped up on the injury report on Wednesday as a limited participant. However, Kmet has been removed now after getting in back-to-back full practice sessions. Kmet has 18 receptions for 162 yards and one touchdown through four games. A bulk of his stats came from one game, which makes him a shaky weekly option. He should be on the TE2 radar for this Week 5 contest.

1 day agoGreen Bay Packers wide receiver
Romeo Doubs (personal) was absent for the second straight practice on Friday. Doubs remains away from the team due to a personal matter. Head coach Matt LaFleur said the organization is hopeful to get Doubs back in time for Sunday's game. If not,
Bo Melton could be asked to take on a bigger role with the Packers already shorthanded at wideout. Melton hauled in one of his three targets for 28 yards last week.
Jayden Reed and
Dontayvion Wicks figure to benefit the most in the receiving game.

1 day agoNew York Jets quarterback
Aaron Rodgers (knee) has been removed from the injury report ahead of the Week 5 matchup against the Minnesota Vikings. The veteran signal-caller sat out of Wednesday's practice, but returned to the field on Thursday and Friday. That being said, Rodgers will be fine heading into their matchup in London. This isn't an ideal matchup for the Jets against a tough Vikings defense that is allowing less than 15 points per game. Rodgers will be on the lower end of the QB2 radar for this weekend.

1 day agoCleveland Browns tight end
David Njoku (ankle) is considered questionable for the Week 5 matchup against the Washington Commanders. Njoku has been sidelined since suffering an ankle injury during the season opener. He returned to practice last week, but was ultimately ruled out for Week 4. Njoku practiced on Wednesday and appears to be headed in the right direction. If active, Njoku should be considered a low-end TE1 for Week 5. Otherwise,
Jordan Akins figures to make another start, but he was held to one reception on two targets last week. Akins doesn't offer much upside right now, so fantasy managers should look elsewhere for help if Njoku is sidelined again.
UPDATE: Njoku is feeling "pretty good" and is hoping to play on Sunday.--Andy Webb - RotoBallerSource: Scott Petrak

1 day agoArizona Cardinals wide receiver
Marvin Harrison Jr. is proving to be a magnet for the end zone, having caught his fourth touchdown of the season last week against the Washington Commanders. Fantasy managers should be pleased, as he is now tied for second with
Justin Jefferson in touchdown receptions. Despite facing a strong 49ers defense in Week 5, Harrison Jr. remains a must-start option in fantasy. While the 49ers' pass defense isn't as formidable as in previous years, it still ranks 13th in fantasy points allowed to wide receivers. Given that the Cardinals are significant underdogs in this matchup, we can expect a more pass-heavy game plan, making Harrison Jr. even more appealing this week. He ranks as a mid to low WR1 for Week 5 and should be started in all leagues.
