Jaire Alexander Practices On Thursday

Green Bay Packers defensive back Jaire Alexander (back) was a limited participant during Thursday's practice. The All-Pro corner has missed each of the last two games due to a back issue. He was a limited participant last week as well before he sat out of last Thursday's game against the Detroit Lions. The hope is […]

Jeremy Reaves, Christian Holmes Ruled Out

Washington Commanders safety Jeremy Reaves (knee) and defensive back Christian Holmes (hamstring) have been ruled out for Thursday's matchup against the Chicago Bears. Both players were forced to exit during the first half of this Week 5 matchup. It sounds like the Commanders are going to play it safe and have both players sit out […]

Cardinals Sign Damien Williams To Practice Squad

The Arizona Cardinals signed former Kansas City Chiefs running back Damien Williams to their practice squad on Thursday. The Cardinals are looking for some more running back depth with Keaontay Ingram currently dealing with a neck injury. Ingram was inactive for the Week 4 loss to the San Francisco 49ers, so rookie Emari Demercado was […]

Elijah Mitchell Trending In The Wrong Direction

San Francisco 49ers running back Elijah Mitchell (knee) was absent from practice on Thursday for the second straight day this week. Mitchell didn't play in the Week 4 win over the Arizona Cardinals and looks to be headed toward another inactive this Sunday night against the Dallas Cowboys. The 25-year-old needs to get back on […]

Juwan Johnson Still Not Practicing

New Orleans Saints tight end Juwan Johnson (calf) missed a second straight day of practice on Thursday and is heading towards being inactive for the second straight week in Sunday's matchup against the New England Patriots. Johnson was hurt in pre-game warmups before the Week 4 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and did not […]

Tyquan Thornton Not Ready To Practice

New England Patriots wide receiver Tyquan Thornton (shoulder) did not return to practice on Thursday. Thornton spent the first four weeks on Injured Reserve, but the Patriots haven't opened up his 21-day window to be activated, and he has yet to practice this week. It means he could be spending another week on IR as […]

Braxton Berrios Upgrades To Full Practice

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Braxton Berrios (knee) was upgraded to a full practice on Thursday after he was limited in Wednesday's session. Berrios is now on track to play in Week 5 against the New York Giants on Sunday, barring a setback in practice on Friday. Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle are Miami's unquestioned top […]

Dawson Knox Stays Limited In Practice

Buffalo Bills tight end Dawson Knox (quadriceps) was listed as a limited participant in practice on Thursday for the second straight day this week. Knox might be listed as questionable on Friday's final injury report, but he figures to have a good shot at playing in London this Sunday against the Jacksonville Jaguars. The 26-year-old's […]

Damien Harris Practices In Full Thursday

Buffalo Bills running back Damien Harris (neck) was able to practice in full on Thursday after he was listed as limited on Wednesday. Barring a setback in practice on Friday, Harris should be able to play this Sunday in London against the Jacksonville Jaguars. However, the 26-year-old shouldn't be anywhere near starting fantasy lineups. He […]

Pat Freiermuth Trending In The Wrong Direction

Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Pat Freiermuth (hamstring) is unlikely to play in Week 5 against the Baltimore Ravens after missing practice on both Wednesday and Thursday. This comes after head coach Mike Tomlin called Freiermuth "doubtful" to play earlier this week. The 24-year-old suffered a strained hamstring in the Week 4 loss to the Houston […]

Fantasy Football Injury Reports For Week 5 (Thursday Updates): Cooper Kupp, Jonathan Taylor, Tee Higgins, Javonte Williams, and more

We have hit the ground running from an injury perspective in 2023, as the season seems to be filled with an assortment of injuries to notable fantasy football players. As we head into Week 5 of the NFL season, which begins with a Thursday night game between the Chicago Bears and Washington Commanders, the amount […]

Justice Hill Continues To Be Limited

Baltimore Ravens running back Justice Hill (foot, hamstring) was limited in practice for the second straight day this week on Thursday. Hill missed the Week 3 game while dealing with turf toe, but he returned in the Week 4 win over the Cleveland Browns but played just seven offensive snaps behind Gus Edwards in a […]

Odell Beckham Jr. Limited Again Thursday

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. (ankle) was listed as a limited participant in practice on Thursday for the second straight day. Beckham could ultimately be questionable to play in Week 5 against the division-rival Pittsburgh Steelers, but he's at least back at practice after missing the last two games with an ankle injury. […]

Rashod Bateman Practicing In Full

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Rashod Bateman (hamstring) practiced in full for the second straight day this week on Thursday. Bateman missed the Week 4 victory over the Cleveland Browns but appears well on his way to returning to face the division-rival Pittsburgh Steelers this Sunday in Week 5. Odell Beckham Jr. (ankle), who has missed […]

Derek Carr Limited Again Thursday

New Orleans Saints quarterback Derek Carr (shoulder) was limited in practice for the second straight day on Thursday. Carr suffered an AC joint sprain in his right shoulder in Week 3 but was surprisingly active in the Week 4 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Carr threw for over 300 yards in his first game […]

Jonnu Smith Could Have Streaming Value

Atlanta Falcons tight end Jonnu Smith has surprisingly been productive early in the season. He posted his best game of the season last week with six receptions for 95 yards in the loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. Smith has four receptions in each of his last three contests. He has been the most consistent receiving […]

Kyle Pitts Has TE2 Value

Atlanta Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts continues to struggle with two receptions in three of the first four games this season. The young tight end has a ton of potential, but the Falcons just can't seem to get him involved. Last week, Pitts finished with two receptions for 21 yards in the loss to the […]

Drake London Hopeful To Bounce Back

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London has been unable to get significantly involved in the passing game this season. The second-year wideout has been held to under 35 receiving yards in three of the first four games this season. The Falcons have struggled to move the ball on offense and it continues to hurt London's […]

Kyren Williams On The Field Thursday

Los Angeles Rams running back Kyren Williams (hip) took part in the team's practice on Thursday after missing Wednesday's session, which is a good step towards being active for the Week 5 contest at home this Sunday against the Philadelphia Eagles. Williams is likely to be listed as limited on the final injury report for […]

Tyler Allgeier A Risky Choice For Week 5

Atlanta Falcons running back Tyler Allgeier has seen his role continue to decrease as the season goes on. Last week, Allgeier saw only seven carries and two targets in what ended up being a blowout loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. The expectation is that Allgeier will continue to be involved, but his value is limited […]

Rhamondre Stevenson Still Limited On Thursday

New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson (thigh) was limited in practice for the second straight day on Thursday. Stevenson remains up in the air to play in Week 5 against the New Orleans Saints, but he'll have a much better chance of suiting up on Sunday if he's able to put in a full […]

Bijan Robinson Should Continue To Succeed

Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson has been one of the few bright spots for this team early in the season. The rookie back rushed for over 100 yards and hauled in five receptions in the Week 4 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. He might've done more, but the Falcons had to abandon the running […]

Christian Watson Still On The Injury Report

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Christian Watson (hamstring) remains on the injury report for Week 5 after he was listed as a limited practice participant on Thursday. Watson suffered a hamstring injury at the end of training camp and missed the first three games of the regular season as a result. He made his 2023 […]

Aaron Jones Starts Week With Limited Practice

Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones (hamstring) put in a limited practice on Thursday. Jones missed Weeks 2 and 3 due to a hamstring tweak he suffered in the season opener, and he returned in last Thursday's loss to the Detroit Lions to play just 20 offensive snaps. The 28-year-old was a big disappointment […]

Javonte Williams Returns To Limited Practice

Denver Broncos running back Javonte Williams (quadriceps) was limited in Thursday's practice after sitting out on Wednesday. Williams left the Week 4 win over the Chicago Bears early and never returned. He was initially believed to be dealing with a hip-flexor injury, but he's now listed with a quadriceps issue. Either way, the 23-year-old's injury […]

Desmond Ridder Remains Avoidable For Week 5

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Desmond Ridder has been unable to find much success early in the season. Despite that, head coach Arthur Smith is sticking with Ridder under center for at least one more game. Last week, Ridder took four sacks and threw two interceptions as the Falcons lost a lopsided game to the Jacksonville Jaguars. […]

Deebo Samuel Practicing Again Thursday

San Francisco 49ers wide receivers Deebo Samuel (knee, ribs) and Jauan Jennings (shin) were both on the practice field on Thursday after they put in limited practices on Wednesday. Samuel's rib injury is apparently better, but he's expected to be managing his knee injury if he's active on Sunday Night Football against the Dallas Cowboys. […]

Cooper Kupp "Looks Healthy"

Los Angeles Rams offensive coordinator Mike LaFleur said that wide receiver Cooper Kupp (hamstring) "looks healthy." LaFleur said that when Kupp was "gearing up for that first game" before going on Injured Reserve, "you could tell he almost could tell that something was still a little bit off. And from my vantage point, it looks […]

Should I Start Dallas Goedert in Week 5? TE Fantasy Football Rankings Analysis

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert hasn't gotten off to a strong start this season. After averaging about 11.7 PPR fantasy points last year, Goedert hasn't been a consistent fantasy option through four weeks.  Goedert has had zero games above 10 PPR fantasy points this season while averaging a mere 5.5 PPR fantasy points in […]

Kenny Pickett Upgraded To Full Practice Participant

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Kenny Pickett (knee) was a full practice participant on Thursday, putting him on track to start in Week 5 against the division-rival Baltimore Ravens despite suffering a bone bruise in his left knee in the Week 4 loss to the Houston Texans. It's an upgrade after Pickett was merely limited in the […]
