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.
#Colts QB Anthony Richardson (oblique) is still listed as questionable, but had a good week of practice and with a solid pre-game workout should play today, source said.
There is a good chance he has both WRs Michael Pittman Jr. (back) and Josh Downs (toe) back, too.

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.
#Colts QB Anthony Richardson (oblique) is still listed as questionable, but had a good week of practice and with a solid pre-game workout should play today, source said.

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.
#Panthers WR Diontae Johnson, listed as questionable with an ankle injury, should be good to go today, source said.

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.
@Raiders WR Jakobi Meyers is now DOUBTFUL for tomorrow’s game vs. Pittsburgh

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.
#Jaguars WR Gabe Davis (knee) and TE Evan Engram (hamstring) are both listed as questionable and both are likely to play in London today vs. the #Bears, sources say.

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.
#Raiders RB Zamir White, dealing with a groin injury, was back at practice on Friday, but he's still considered a long-shot to play, source said.
Las Vegas had previously downgraded Jakobi Meyers (ankle) to doubtful, as well.

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.
The #AZCardinals are unlikely to have K Matt Prater, who is questionable with a knee injury, source said.
They elevated PS kicker Chad Ryland on Saturday.
