Fantasy Football WR Injury Reports: Week 6 Updates For Michael Pittman Jr., Diontae Johnson, Malik Nabers, Khalil Shakir, Christian Watson, more

Michael Pittman Jr -Fantasy-Football-Rankings-Draft-Sleepers-Waiver-Wire-Pickups-icon-rotoballer

The injury-plagued 2024 season continues to add victims. Four of the top five fantasy football wide receivers (by weekly average) have or will miss time.

To keep close tabs on all of the news across the NFL, make sure to favorite or bookmark the fantasy football player news page. Also, download the free RotoBaller fantasy football mobile app with push notification alerts on all the latest news.

Let's look at the updates for some wide receivers and see whether they may play in Week 6.

Be sure to check all of our fantasy football rankings for 2024:

 

Davante Adams (LV) Injury Update

Game Status: OUT

Initial reports stated that Davante Adams (hamstring) would be healthy enough to suit up this week. That was altered early in the week when his trade request was not fulfilled. Whether legitimately hurt or just waiting to call a new city home, he's out this week. Adams hasn't played since Week 3 and there's been little movement on his trade rumor mill.

 

Gabe Davis (JAX) Injury Update

Game Status: Questionable

Three straight limited practices have placed Gabe Davis (knee) in the questionable category. He and the rest of the Jaguars face the Chicago Bears in London on Sunday morning.

The Bears' defense has also allowed the seventh-fewest fantasy points per game to opposing wideouts this year, although they will be without a starting cornerback and safety. Davis is the third option in the Jaguars' passing game and could be demoted to fourth if Evan Engram (hamstring) is active. Keep Davis on the waiver wire in redraft leagues.

 

Diontae Johnson (CAR) Injury Update

Game Status: Questionable

Diontae Johson logged three limited practice sessions this week due to an ankle injury. It's the same injury that placed Johnson on the injury report last week and he played. The subpar fantasy performance likely had more to do with the matchup than the injury.

Fantasy managers should go right back to Johnson and place him in starting lineups again, as long as there are no setbacks with his ankle.

 

Jakobi Meyers (LV) Injury Update

Game Status: Questionable

The new WR1 in Las Vegas is getting healthier. Jakobi Meyers sat out of practice on Wednesday and Thursday but put in a limited session on Friday. He's officially listed as questionable.

Meyers has nine, 10, and nine targets in the last three games with Davante Adams away from the team. Meyers should see another healthy target share if he's active against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

 

Malik Nabers (NYG) Injury Update

Game Status: OUT

Malik Nabers' concussion is concerning. Now over two weeks removed from the hit that placed him in the league's protocol, Nabers hasn't been cleared. He will miss his second consecutive game.

Darius Slayton topped 100 yards in his place against Seattle. He's a flex candidate against an average Cincinnati pass defense. Wan'Dale Robinson is also in the flex range in PPR formats.

 

Michael Pittman Jr. / Josh Downs (IND) Injury Update

Game Status: Questionable

Michael Pittman Jr. pulled the UNO reverse card on the fantasy football community. On Wednesday, reports emerged that Pittman would be placed on injured reserve with a back ailment. By Friday, he was practicing in full.

He's officially listed as questionable for Sunday's matchup against the Tennessee Titans as he attempts to play through the injury. Josh Downs (toe) is also questionable. Downs fully practiced on Friday.

Anthony Richardson is slated to start at quarterback after missing one game. That downgrades all Indianapolis pass-catchers (except Alec Pierce who is strictly boom or bust). They're also facing the NFL's top-ranked pass defense. Pittman and Downs are WR3s in Week 6 if active.

 

Josh Reynolds (DEN) Injury Update

Game Status: OUT

The already weak Denver passing game just lost one of its best players. Wide receiver Josh Reynolds is expected to miss at least one game after undergoing finger surgery.

Reynolds is second on the team in receiving yards and third in targets behind Courtland Sutton and running back Javonte Williams. One of Troy Franklin, Devaughn Vele, or Marvin Mims Jr. will step up in Reynolds' place. Sutton is the only Broncos' receiver worth rostering in redraft formats.

 

Khalil Shakir (BUF) Injury Update

Game Status: TBD

The Buffalo Bills gave fantasy managers an early look at Khalil Shakir's status. Because the team is playing on Monday night, they weren't required to submit an official injury report. They did, however, let everyone know that Shakir did not practice on Tuesday.

He continued to miss practice when official injury reports were required. With DNPs on Thursday and Friday, fantasy managers should expect to be without Shakir this week. He'll have one more chance to practice on Saturday before the team makes an official designation.

 

Christian Watson (GB) Injury Update

Game Status: Questionable

Christian Watson suffered an ankle sprain in Week 4. Green Bay head coach Matt LaFleur expected Watson to miss a week or two. It's trending toward a shorter recovery period for the former the second-round pick.

Watson practiced in a limited fashion for three straight days. He's questionable. Romeo Doubs will be back in the lineup on Sunday. He was suspended a game after missing practice and complaining about his usage. With a deep wide receiver room, coaches may ease Watson back into action.
