Miami Dolphins wide receiver Preston Williams (groin) is listed as questionable to play in London on Sunday against the Jacksonville Jaguars after a groin injury flared up in practice on Thursday.

Welcome back summoners, to another WORLDS EDITION article covering the six-game slate that involves only teams from Group B. I'm here to admit that C9 made me eat my words, as they do not suck. That would be FPX. Rogue put up a good fight just like C9 but lost the tiebreaker, and FPX had […]

Jamaal Williams Questionable Heading Into Week 6

Detroit Lions running back Jamaal Williams (hip, illness) is listed as questionable on the final injury report for the game on Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals. Williams was limited on both Wednesday and Friday, but he took the day off of practice on Thursday. The 26-year-old has 244 rushing yards and two rushing scores on […]

Melvin Gordon III Draws Another Questionable Tag

Denver Broncos running back Melvin Gordon III (hip) is listed as questionable yet again heading into a Week 6 matchup with the division-rival Las Vegas Raiders. Gordon sat out of practice on Wednesday before returning to limited sessions Thursday and Friday, so he appears to have a good chance of playing on Sunday despite dealing […]

Chase Claypool, James Washington Cleared For Week 6

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receivers Chase Claypool (hamstring) and James Washington (groin) were both removed from the final injury report for Week 6 against the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday night. Claypool and Diontae Johnson are the clear top two receivers for quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, and Claypool has an even higher fantasy ceiling with JuJu Smith-Schuster (shoulder) […]

Chris Carson Lands On Injured Reserve

Seattle Seahawks running back Chris Carson (neck) was placed on Injured Reserve on Friday, joining quarterback Russell Wilson (finger). Both Carson and Wilson will now miss at least the next three games.

Daniel Carlson - Week 6 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Las Vegas Raiders kicker Daniel Carlson could have a big week for his team as they visit the Denver Broncos this Sunday. The 26-year-old has been a big x-factor for Vegas as they have gone up against tough defenses and has only missed one of his 10 field goals attempts so far this season. Carlson's […]

Dylan Larkin Gets One-Game Suspension

Detroit Red Wings center Dylan Larkin has been suspended for one game for punching Tampa's Mathieu Joseph in the face in Thursday's 7-6 overtime loss.

Darius Slayton Questionable Against Rams

New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton (hamstring) is listed as questionable for a Week 6 game against the Los Angeles Rams.

With Kenny Golladay (knee) ruled out, Sterling Shepard (hamstring) and Kadarius Toney (ankle) figure to serve as New York's […]

Peyton Barber - Week 6 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Las Vegas Raiders running back Peyton Barber is expected to return in Week 6 as his team visits the Denver Broncos. The 27-year-old missed Week 5's loss to the Chicago Bears due to turf toe but was a full participant at practices this week ahead of the trip to Denver. Barber initially became the Raiders […]

Sterling Shepard Back In The Fold This Weekend

New York Giants wide receiver Sterling Shepard (hamstring) wasn't listed on the team's final injury report for Week 6 against the Los Angeles Rams, so he will return to the fold after missing the last two games. It's good timing with Kenny Golladay (knee) out, but Shepard will be returning to a very tough matchup […]

Cam Talbot Set To Start On Friday Against Anaheim

Minnesota Wild goaltender Cam Talbot is set to guard the crease in the team's season opener on Friday against Anaheim. The 34-year-old will start his second season at the club, after putting together a 19-8-5 record in 2020-21 with a 2.63 goals-against average, a .915 save percentage and two shutouts. Talbot has always been strong […]

Allen Robinson II Up In The Air For Week 6

Chicago Bears wide receiver Allen Robinson II (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Green Bay Packers.

Max Jones Joins Anaheim's First Line With Troy Terry Out

Anaheim Ducks winger Max Jones will make his season debut as a first-liner on Friday against Minnesota. He missed the team's first game of the season with an illness and takes over from Troy Terry, who is also now battling a non-COVID related illness. Jones is a former first-round pick, who hasn't made much noise […]

David Njoku Will Play Against Cardinals

Cleveland Browns tight end David Njoku (knee) has been removed from the final injury report for Week 6 against the Arizona Cardinals. Njoku missed practice on Wednesday but was limited the last two days, clearing him for this Sunday. The 25-year-old was a popular waiver-wire target this week after he caught all seven of his […]

Hunter Renfrow - Week 6 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Hunter Renfrow has a big matchup ahead of him in Week 6 against the host Denver Broncos. The 25-year-old had his touchdown streak snapped in last week's 20-9 loss to the Chicago Bears, but still caught 6-of-8 passes for 56 yards against a tough defense and remains a consistent playmaker […]

Kareem Hunt Questionable To Play In Week 6

Cleveland Browns running back Kareem Hunt (knee, wrist) returned to a limited practice on Friday and is questionable to play in Week 6 on Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals. Hunt missed practice Wednesday and Thursday, but the return to practice Friday gives him a chance to be the team's clear lead back with Nick Chubb […]

John Gibson Misses Friday's Game With Injury

Anaheim Ducks goaltender John Gibson (lower body) is unavailable for Friday's clash with the Wild. He put on a real show with 33 saves in the season opener against Winnipeg but also got hurt in Wednesday's 4-1 win. The Ducks live and die by the form of Gibson, so this is obviously awful news for […]

Kyler Murray, DeAndre Hopkins Will Play Sunday

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray (shoulder) and wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins (illness) were both removed from the final injury report for Week 6 against the Cleveland Browns. Hopkins missed two practices this week with a non-COVID-19-related illness, but he was back on Friday and is good to go. Murray dealt with a right shoulder issue […]

Thatcher Demko Faces Flyers On Friday

Vancouver Canucks goaltender Thatcher Demko will record his second appearance of the season on Friday against Philadelphia. He made a losing start to the year on Wednesday against Edmonton, despite stopping 32 of 34 shots to post a nice .941 save percentage. Home teams have been crushing it early in the season, so this will […]

Chase Edmonds Listed As Questionable

Arizona Cardinals running back Chase Edmonds (shoulder) was limited in practice all week and is questionable for Week 6 against the Cleveland Browns. Edmonds was questionable last week as well, but he played through the injury and handled just nine touches for 34 yards in the win over the San Francisco 49ers. James Conner continues […]

Ryan Ellis In, Rasmus Ristolainen Out On Friday

Philadelphia Flyers defenseman Rasmus Ristolainen (upper body) won't be on the ice in Friday's season opener against Vancouver. He and Ryan Ellis (undisclosed) have both struggled to get ready for the first game of the season and it just comes a little bit too soon for the former Sabre, while Ellis is ready to go. […]

Joe Burrow Ready To Play In Week 6

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow (throat) practiced in full all week and was removed from the final injury report for Week 6 against the Detroit Lions. Burrow suffered a throat contusion in the Week 5 loss to the Green Bay Packers and was taken to the hospital as a precaution, but it turned out to […]

Joe Mixon Draws A Questionable Tag

Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon (ankle) is listed as questionable on the final injury report for Week 6 against the Detroit Lions. Mixon was limited in practice on Wednesday and Friday and sat out on Thursday. Despite the questionable tag, fantasy managers shouldn't be worried, as the Bengals expect Mixon to handle a normal […]

Erik Gustafsson Makes Second Blackhawks Debut On Friday

Chicago Blackhawks defenseman Erik Gustafsson will replace Ian Mitchell in the lineup on Friday against New Jersey. The 29-year-old officially rejoined the club on a one-year deal at the start of the week and he'll look to replicate some of his old form. Gustafsson had a wonderful 60-point campaign for Chicago in 2018-19. It's unlikely […]

Damien Harris Questionable To Face Cowboys

New England Patriots running back Damien Harris (ribs) is listed as questionable to play against the Dallas Cowboys in Week 6 after finishing the week with two limited practices. J.J. Taylor (groin), who was inactive in Week 5 after losing a costly fumble in Week 4, was added to the injury report after a limited […]

Jonathan Bernier Starts Season Opener For New Jersey

New Jersey Devils goaltender Jonathan Bernier will guard the cage in Friday's season opener against Chicago, with Mackenzie Blackwood (heel) still recovering from offseason surgery. It's a Devils debut for Bernier, who was picked up by New Jersey on a two-year deal in the summer. The veteran netminder played in Detroit last season, posting a […]

Henry Ruggs III - Week 6 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Henry Ruggs III has the potential to come up big for his team in Week 6 against the host Denver Broncos. The 22-year-old saw limited production in last week's 20-9 loss to the Chicago Bears but still caught 3-of-3 passes for 51 yards. Ruggs is currently tied for third in […]
