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.

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 […]

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.

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 […]

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 […]

Mac Jones Not Worth Starting In Single-QB Leagues

New England Patriots quarterback Mac Jones is not a reliable fantasy starter heading into Week 5 versus the New Orleans Saints. While the third-year signal-caller flashed potential back in Week 1, he has come down to earth since that. In fact, versus the Cowboys last Sunday, Jones completed just 12 of 21 passes, threw two […]

Jahmyr Gibbs Added To Injury Report, Questionable For Week 5

Detroit Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs (hamstring) was added to the injury report on Friday after practicing in a limited capacity. He is officially listed as questionable for Week 5 versus the Carolina Panthers. It remains to be seen whether Gibbs' injury is minor or if he suffered an ailment of greater severity on Friday. […]

Jameson Williams, Josh Reynolds Questionable For Week 5

Detroit Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams (non-injury) and Josh Reynolds (groin) are both listed as questionable for Week 5 versus the Carolina Panthers despite practicing in a full capacity. Williams is returning from a suspension, so while he's not injured, it appears the Lions aren't ready to remove him from the injury report until he […]

Derek Carr Questionable For Week 5, Expected To Play

New Orleans Saints quarterback Derek Carr (shoulder) is officially listed as questionable for Week 5. However, Saints insider Mike Triplett reports that Carr "seems almost certain to play" after practicing in a limited capacity. It's also worth noting that the veteran quarterback was a game-time decision last week and managed to play. At this rate, […]

Juwan Johnson Not Playing In Week 5

New Orleans Saints tight end Juwan Johnson (calf) has officially been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game versus the New England Patriots. This comes as no surprise after Johnson missed all three practices this week. Foster Moreau (ankle) and Jimmy Graham will operate as the Saints' top tight ends for the duration of Johnson's absence, […]

Jonathan Taylor Questionable To Play In Week 5

Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor (ankle) was a full participant in practice this week but is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Titans. Taylor is still on the PUP list, but if he's activated, that will be a very strong indication that the team expects him to play. Tennessee has a solid […]

Rhamondre Stevenson Questionable For Week 5

New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson (thigh) is officially questionable for Sunday's game against the New Orleans Saints. He was limited in practice all week long. The fact that Stevenson was able to practice in some capacity is great news, though we might not get official clarification on his status until Sunday morning. Given […]

Kendrick Bourne Held In Check By Cowboys

New England Patriots wide receiver Kendrick Bourne hauled in two of three targets for 36 yards in Week 4 versus the Cowboys. The Patriots lost by a score of 38-3, falling to 1-3 on the season.

He also hauled in two of three targets for an additional 10 yards through the air. The Patriots lost by a score of 38-3, falling to 1-3 on the season. Stevenson's relative struggles were […]

Hunter Henry Remains Top Pass-Catcher In Week 4
