Sammy Watkins Inactive For Week 6

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Sammy Watkins (hamstring) is officially inactive for Week 6. His absence should give the rest of the Kansas City offense more opportunities. In a likely shootout against the Houston Texans, Mecole Hardman and Demarcus Robinson are flex plays while Tyreek Hill is back and ready to resume his WR1 role.

Albert Wilson Active Against Redskins

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Albert Wilson (calf) is active for Week 6 against the Washington Redskins. Wilson gets a great matchup against the Redskins, who rank 30th in the NFL in fantasy points against wide receivers. He is a WR4 in this contest and is likely a tier below fellow receivers Preston Williams and Devante […]

Rashaad Penny Inactive Against Browns

Seattle Seahawks running back Rashaad Penny (hamstring) is ruled out for Week 6 against the Cleveland Browns. The 23-year-old has now missed three games this year with the injury and will likely carry a questionable tag heading into next week. Penny's absence will mean more touches for starter Chris Carson. C.J. Prosise will backup Carson […]

Tyreek Hill Cleared To Play In Week 6

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill (shoulder) is cleared to play for the Week 6 showdown against the Houston Texans. Hill returns to the field after missing four games with the clavicle injury and he'll see a great matchup. The Texans have surrendered 42.04 points to opposing wideouts, ranked 27th in the NFL.
