Can you guess who is the top-scoring Rams defender in IDP? Is it reigning Defensive Player of the Year Aaron Donald? No? How about destroyer of streakers Bobby Wagner? Close, but not quite.

Aaron Donald Active In Week 6

Los Angeles Rams defensive lineman Aaron Donald (foot) is officially active against the Carolina Panthers in Week 6. Donald, who was listed as questionable, has continued to be a star in his age-31 season, amassing 21 tackles, four sacks, and one fumble recovery through five games.

Indianapolis Colts linebacker Shaquille Leonard (back, concussion, nose) and defensive end Kwity Paye (ankel) have both been ruled out of the Week 6 game against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Jadeveon Clowney, Denzel Ward Ruled Out In Week 6

The Cleveland Browns have ruled out defensive end Jadeveon Clowney (ankle, elbow, knee) and cornerback Denzel Ward (concussion) for the Week 6 game against the New England Patriots.

Baltimore Ravens safety Marcus Williams (wrist) will be placed on Injured Reserve after dislocating his wrist in the win against the Cincinnati Bengals. His injury won't be season-ending, but it could be significant for fantasy football. The Ravens' secondary has already been among the worst in the NFL, so it could be getting even worse. […]

The Carolina Panthers fired head coach Matt Rhule, who has gone 11-27 in his three years with the team, on Monday. Rhule will leave Carolina with four years left on a seven-year contract he received from owner David Tepper in January of 2020.
