Ravens Non-Committal On Mark Andrews' Status With Team
Apr 15, 2025, 3:04 PM ET
Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews is one of the best players in franchise history, collecting 436 receptions for 5,530 yards and 51 touchdowns in 104 games across seven NFL seasons. However, the three-time Pro Bowler's status with the team for 2025 has been a topic of discussion this offseason, and general manager Eric DeCosta declined to definitively say he would be on the team next season. "I never know what's going to happen, but I can tell you this, Mark Andrews is a warrior," DeCosta said. He's a great player and we're in the business of keeping as many great players as we can." Andrews is entering his age-29 season and posted his lowest yardage total last year (minimum 11 games) since his 2018 rookie campaign. Whether he is potentially traded or released, uncertainty remains for the veteran, who is usually a TE1 in fantasy football.--Jackson SparksSource: Jeff Zrebiec

Philadelphia Eagles running back Carson Steele (shoulder) returned to the Week 6 game against the Carolina Panthers on special teams, according to John McMullen of Philadelphia Eagles On SI. Steele was listed as questionable to return following a shoulder injury, according to the team. Steele was seen heading to the locker room holding what appeared to be his right arm/shoulder, according to Vani Hanamirian of SportsRadio 94WIP. Steele did not have a rushing attempt at the time of his exit, but he did record a four-yard reception. Steele took a hard hit after the catch, and that led to further evaluation. However, Steele is back in action. The Eagles also have Dameon Pierce and Jaydon Blue available at running back.--Ryan O'BlenessSource: John McMullen - Philadelphia Eagles On SI

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (back) entered the medical tent during Sunday's Week 6 matchup against the New York Giants after landing hard on the turf while jumping for a pass, according to an initial report from Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News. Kamara appeared shaken up following the play and subsequently headed to the medical tent for evaluation. He is now on the sidelines, although there has been no confirmation that he has been cleared to return to action. The veteran entered Sunday's contest questionable because of a back injury that limited him throughout the practice week, making the latest incident particularly concerning. It remains unclear whether the hard landing aggravated his existing injury or caused a separate issue. Kendre Miller and CJ Donaldson could see additional backfield opportunities if Kamara is unable to continue.--Bruno MuléSource: Pat Leonard

New England Patriots wide receiver Romeo Doubs (shoulder) is questionable to return to a Week 6 matchup with the New York Jets due to a shoulder injury, according to Mike Reiss of ESPN. Doubs was injured after he dove for a ball in the end zone and completed a 42-yard touchdown reception from quarterback Drake Maye. It appeared that Doubs landed on his right shoulder. He went to the blue medical tent and then back to the locker room for further evaluation. While Doubs is out, the Patriots will rely on wide receivers A.J. Brown, DeMario Douglas, Kyle Williams, Efton Chism III and others.--Ryan O'BlenessSource: Mike Reiss - ESPN
Changing Offensive Verbiage has Played a Role in Bo Nix's Struggles

Denver Broncos quarterback Bo Nix is off to a disastrous start in 2026. Through six games, he has completed 114 out of 189 passing attempts (60.3%) for 1,049 yards, six touchdown passes and three interceptions. He has added one rushing touchdown. According to Pro-Football-Reference, Nix is averaging just 5.6 yards per attempt, 5.0 intended air yards per attempt, 9.2 yards per completion and 174.8 passing yards per game. All of those numbers, along with the completion percentage, are career lows for Nix. According to Jay Glazer of FOX NFL Sunday (via Ari Meirov on X), one of the reasons Nix has struggled is because the offensive terminology changed when offensive coordinator Davis Webb assumed play-calling duties. Now that head coach Sean Payton has taken play-calling duties back from Webb, he switched it back to his original verbiage. Glazer noted that the changing terminology has played a role in Nix's issues. The report also says that Payton is confident Nix "will be fine."--Ryan O'BlenessSource: Jay Glazer - FOX NFL Sunday
Travis Hunter Shines in Two-Way Role for Jaguars in Loss to Texans

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver/cornerback Travis Hunter starred in a two-way role in a 34-31 Week 6 loss to the Houston Texans in London. Hunter recorded four receptions (on four targets) for 59 yards (14.8 yards per catch) and a touchdown on offense. Defensively, Hunter amassed three tackles, one interception and one pass defended. Hunter played a season-high nine snaps on offense and made the most of his reps with high production in limited opportunities. He also played 62 snaps on defense, and his interception of C.J. Stroud in the end zone came with under four minutes to play. Unfortunately for Jacksonville, Hunter's playmaking ability was not enough. The Jaguars clearly were willing to utilize Hunter's full skill set in Week 6, but it remains to be seen how involved offensively he will be moving forward. While Hunter's usage needs to be monitored, he is most likely still too risky to put in your lineup following Jacksonville's bye week, at least until he sees more consistent opportunities.--Ryan O'BlenessSource: NFL.com
C.J. Stroud Lights Up Jaguars in London

Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud had a strong day in London, leading the team to a 34-31 Week 6 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars. Stroud completed 24 out of 34 passes (70.6%) for 312 yards, three touchdowns and one interception. Stroud added one rushing attempt for five yards. While Stroud threw an interception in the end zone to Jaguars cornerback Travis Hunter with under four minutes to play, it did not end up costing the Texans the game, and Stroud carved up the Jacksonville defense throughout the day. He connected on a touchdown pass with wide receiver Jaylin Noel and found tight end Foster Moreau for two scores. Stroud is playing well and has an ideal matchup against the New York Giants in Week 7. He should be started in all formats.--Ryan O'BlenessSource: NFL.com
MarShawn Lloyd's Goal-Line Role Offers Week 6 Fantasy Appeal

Green Bay Packers running back MarShawn Lloyd draws a favorable Week 6 matchup against the Dallas Cowboys, who have surrendered an NFL-high 168.4 rushing yards per game through five weeks. Lloyd is worth considering as a flex option with Josh Jacobs still unavailable, particularly after scoring twice in last week's victory over Chicago. Those touchdowns masked an otherwise modest rushing performance, however, as Lloyd gained just 31 yards on 10 carries. He has averaged 2.8 yards per attempt this season, and Green Bay hasn't committed to giving him the bulk of the backfield work. Pierre Strong Jr. played 24 offensive snaps against Chicago, just two fewer than Lloyd, while also remaining involved in the passing game. Dallas' defensive struggles give Lloyd an opportunity to improve his rushing production, but his two touchdowns last Sunday were more indicative of his value near the goal line than any significant separation from the other Packers running backs.--Bruno MuléSource: RotoBaller
Rachaad White Should Handle Larger Workload on Monday

Washington Commanders running back Rachaad White has an opportunity for increased touches against the San Francisco 49ers on Monday night with Jacory Croskey-Merritt (groin) ruled out. White carries no injury designation despite being limited in the final two practices of the week, putting him in position to lead Washington's rushing attack. He played 60% of the offensive snaps against the Giants in Week 5 but produced just 18 yards on seven carries and caught one pass for two yards. White has yet to exceed eight rushing attempts in a game this season, although he has caught all 10 of his targets for 53 yards and a touchdown. Austin Ekeler (chest) is also available and could handle a portion of the passing-down work, while Jeremy McNichols (quad) remains questionable pending a potential activation from injured reserve. White is a reasonable RB2/flex consideration given the circumstances, particularly in PPR leagues, but his limited recent production and potential competition for touches leave some uncertainty surrounding his ceiling.--Bruno MuléSource: Ben Standig
Kenyon Sadiq Clears Concussion Protocol, Active in Week 6

New York Jets rookie first-round tight end Kenyon Sadiq (head) is officially active for the Week 6 game on Sunday against the division-rival New England Patriots after clearing the league's concussion protocol, according to Rich Cimini of ESPN. Fantasy managers should have been prepared for the 21-year-old from Oregon to play after he was able to practice in full on Friday. With Sadiq available on Sunday in New England, he will be in play as a TE2 streamer for fantasy managers as he looks to get back on track. Sadiq found the end zone twice (once on the ground, once through the air) in his first three NFL games, but he has caught just two passes on seven targets for three yards in the last two contests against the Cleveland Browns and Chicago Bears. Fantasy managers should not forget his seven-catch, 105-yard breakout in the Week 3 loss to the Detroit Lions, though. Sadiq has plenty of upside at the TE position in fantasy, but it will come with volatility in his first year in the NFL.--Keith HernandezSource: ESPN.com - Rich Cimini
Tyjae Spears Active for Week 6 Against Colts

Tennessee Titans running back Tyjae Spears (knee), who was listed as questionable to play on Sunday, is officially active for the Week 6 divisional clash against the Indianapolis Colts, according to ESPN's Turron Davenport. The writing was on the wall for Spears to play this weekend after he was able to practice in full on Friday. The 25-year-old is Tennessee's primary pass-catching back, and he drew some waiver-wire consideration going into this week's game after catching a season-high nine passes for 28 yards in the 26-3 loss to the division-rival Houston Texans last Sunday. Spears only ran the ball twice for the second week in a row and did not gain any yards on the ground. He has just 17 carries for 65 yards (3.8 yards per attempt) on the ground through five games this year, but Spears still maintains deep-league flex appeal in point-per-reception fantasy leagues. Now that he is officially active, Spears will be a PPR sleeper against an Indy defense that has allowed the sixth-most half-PPR fantasy points to opposing RBs.--Keith HernandezSource: ESPN.com - Turron Davenport

Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams (hamstring) is active for Sunday's Week 6 matchup against the Atlanta Falcons, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. The 24-year-old missed the previous three games after suffering a right hamstring tear against Minnesota in Week 2, but he returned to full practice participation this week despite carrying a questionable designation into Sunday. Through his first two appearances, Williams completed 36 of 55 passes for 407 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception while adding 107 rushing yards and two scores. His return gives Chicago's offense a considerable boost after Case Keenum and Tyson Bagent handled starting duties during his absence. Atlanta has been more vulnerable against the pass this season, making Williams an appealing low-end QB1 option in his return. However, fantasy managers should keep in mind that his rushing involvement could be somewhat limited in his first game back from the hamstring injury.--Bruno MuléSource: Adam Schefter

Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Pat Freiermuth (calf) was a late addition to the Week 6 injury report and was listed as questionable to play, but he is officially active for Sunday's contest on the road against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Now that the 27-year-old is officially set to play this weekend, he is back in play as a TE streamer in fantasy football leagues with receiver Michael Pittman Jr. (foot) still on Injured Reserve. Freiermuth already has four touchdown receptions in the first five games of 2026, including three trips to the end zone in the last two games against the Indianapolis Colts and division-rival Cleveland Browns. With Pittman sidelined in last week's win over the Colts, Freiermuth caught five of a season-high seven targets for 44 yards and two touchdowns. He has caught 19 of his 26 targets for 169 yards and four touchdowns to begin his sixth season in the NFL and with Pittsburgh. The Buccaneers' defense has allowed the 10th-most half-PPR fantasy points to the tight end position so far this year.--Keith HernandezSource: Pittsburgh Steelers

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (back) is officially active for Sunday's Week 6 matchup against the New York Giants, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Kamara was questionable after being limited throughout the practice week, but he will suit up despite his lingering back issue. The veteran struggled to make an impact against Minnesota in Week 5, finishing with three carries for 12 yards and two receptions for minus-six yards. Kendre Miller led the backfield with 10 rushing attempts in that contest, while CJ Donaldson also contributed to the rotation. Kamara's availability gives New Orleans another option in the running game, but his recent workload raises questions about how much he will contribute. He remains a risky flex play, particularly in non-PPR formats, until his involvement improves.--Bruno MuléSource: Adam Schefter
Rico Dowdle Returning From his Toe Injury on Sunday

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Rico Dowdle (toe) is officially active and will make his return to Pittsburgh's backfield on Sunday on the road against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 6. A dislocated toe on his right foot caused Dowdle to miss each of the last three games, allowing Jaylen Warren to take on an elevated workload as the Steelers' lead back. While head coach Mike McCarthy planned for an even backfield split between Warren and Dowdle before the regular season started, Warren's recent play makes him deserving of more of the work now that Dowdle has returned from his injury. The 28-year-old Dowdle was averaging just 2.5 carries for 37 yards and no rushing touchdowns on his 15 rushing attempts in two games before his injury, too, so it is not like he had been impressing the coaching staff before missing time. He should be involved for the Steelers now that he is back, but fantasy managers should temper expectations, and he is a hard sell as an RB3/flex option in his first game back in Tampa.--Keith HernandezSource: Pittsburgh Steelers

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Chris Olave (illness) is officially active for Sunday's Week 6 matchup against the New York Giants, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Olave missed practice Wednesday and Thursday before returning for a limited session Friday, leaving him questionable heading into the weekend. The 26-year-old has been outstanding through five games, recording 39 receptions for 537 yards and one touchdown on 54 targets. He was limited to four catches for 46 yards against Minnesota last week but has already surpassed 100 receiving yards three times this season. With his availability confirmed, Olave remains a strong WR1 option against the Giants, although his recent illness introduces some uncertainty regarding his effectiveness.--Bruno MuléSource: Adam Schefter
TreVeyon Henderson Active For Week 6 Game Against Jets

New England Patriots running back TreVeyon Henderson (ankle) is officially active for the Patriots on Sunday against the division-rival New York Jets, which is a bit of a surprise, according to Rich Cimini of ESPN. After injuring his ankle in the Week 5 win over the Las Vegas Raiders, the Patriots were expecting Henderson to miss some time. However, the second-year back out of Ohio State was able to practice this week and will now suit up this weekend as the Patriots look for a third straight win. New England's offense will also be getting star receiver A.J. Brown (ankle) back from Injured Reserve after he suffered a high-ankle sprain in the Week 1 loss to the Seattle Seahawks. Henderson's presence is bad news for Rhamondre Stevenson, who would have been set for the lion's share of the touches against the Jets if Henderson were inactive. The 23-year-old Henderson will probably still take a back seat to Stevenson in this one, though, making him a touchdown-dependent RB3/flex in Week 6.--Keith HernandezSource: ESPN.com - Rich Cimini

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Sean Tucker (quadriceps) is inactive for Sunday's Week 6 matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers, according to Greg Auman of FOX Sports. Tucker was listed as questionable after missing Wednesday's practice and participating on a limited basis Thursday and Friday. The Buccaneers elevated Josh Williams from the practice squad on Saturday to provide additional backfield depth behind Bucky Irving and Kenny Gainwell. Tucker has recorded eight carries for 28 yards and one touchdown this season, including five attempts for 18 yards against Dallas in Week 5. His absence removes a potential short-yardage option from Tampa Bay's rotation, although his limited workload suggests the fantasy impact should be modest. Irving remains the team's primary rushing option, while Gainwell could pick up some additional work against Pittsburgh.--Bruno MuléSource: Greg Auman

Indianapolis Colts tight end Tyler Warren (groin) popped up on the Week 6 injury report on Saturday and was listed as questionable with a groin injury. The Colts announced on Sunday that he is officially inactive for Sunday's divisional contest against the 0-5 Tennessee Titans, so fantasy managers need to pull him from their fantasy lineups immediately this weekend. It is a big loss for a Colts offense that is still without top receiver Alec Pierce (heel), who is on Injured Reserve with no clear timetable for a return. It is unclear if the 24-year-old Warren will be ready to return for their game next weekend on the road against the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday, Oct. 25. With Warren not able to play this Sunday, the Colts will have more opportunities in the passing game for tight ends Mo Alie-Cox, Drew Ogletree, and Will Mallory, but it is not really a situation for fantasy managers in deeper leagues to target for a streaming option. If anything, receivers Josh Downs and Keenan Allen will be more involved against the Titans in Week 6. Warren entered Week 6 action as the TE7 overall in half-PPR scoring with 30 catches on 36 targets for 213 yards and two touchdowns.--Keith HernandezSource: Indianapolis Colts

Cleveland Browns running back Quinshon Judkins (ankle) will be out on Sunday for the team's Week 6 contest against the division-rival Baltimore Ravens after testing his ankle during a pre-game workout, according to Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network. Judkins looked to have some discomfort when starting and stopping during pre-game warmups, so he will not be active this weekend. With Raheim Sanders (hip) going on Injured Reserve this week and Dylan Sampson (knee) not ready to come off IR, Cleveland's backfield is going to be very short-handed against Baltimore and will lean on some combination of Jaleel McLaughlin and Audric Estime. Judkins' next chance to return to the field will be for the team's Week 7 matchup next Sunday, Oct. 25, against the Tennessee Titans on the road. He has RB2 fantasy value when healthy because of his lead-back role with the Browns, but the 22-year-old second-year back from Ohio State has underwhelmed so far on the ground while averaging just 3.0 yards per carry for 221 yards and one touchdown in his five games played.--Keith HernandezSource: NFL Network - Ian Rapoport
Braelon Allen's Heavy Workload Keeps Him in RB2 Conversation

Oct 18, 2026, 11:30 AM ET
New York Jets running back Braelon Allen should remain busy against the New England Patriots in Week 6 with Breece Hall (quad) ruled out. Allen followed a 14-carry, 59-yard performance against Chicago in Week 4 with a career-high 116 rushing yards and a touchdown on 24 attempts against Cleveland last Sunday. He played 86% of the offensive snaps in that contest, while Isaiah Davis received just two carries. New England presents a tougher challenge, having allowed only 90.8 rushing yards per game through five weeks, including just 38 against Las Vegas last Sunday. Allen's limited receiving production, totaling seven catches for 19 yards this season, also makes him more reliant on rushing volume and scoring opportunities. Still, the Jets have shown a willingness to lean heavily on him with Hall sidelined, making Allen a reasonable RB2 or flex option.--Bruno MuléSource: RotoBaller
