Hey!
I want to make sure you’re caught up on the important NFL news heading into Week 6.
Here are 20 key takeaways to know for your fantasy leagues before Week 6 begins:
#20 Ja’Marr Chase is questionable. He was a late addition to the injury report with an illness but is expected to play…
#19 Chris Godwin is OUT. He’s dealing with a new fibula injury and is now week-to-week. Expect Tez Johnson to see more snaps with Godwin sidelined…
#18 Mike Evans remains OUT. He’s still recovering from a hamstring injury. Sterling Shepard will start for Tampa Bay and is a flex option given the Bucs injuries and bye weeks…
#17 Amon-Ra St. Brown will play. He missed Wednesday’s practice with a wrist issue but practiced in full to end the week. St. Brown is averaging seven catches per game this season…
#16 Xavier Worthy will play. He didn’t practice on Thursday but was seen practicing Friday. The expectation is Worthy will play barring a setback. He was not listed on the final injury report...
#15 Brock Bowers is OUT. He didn’t practice this week while recovering from a bone bruise and PCL injury. There’s a chance he’s held out until after the team’s Week 8 bye…
#14 Bucky Irving remains OUT. Rachaad White will start again for Tampa Bay after handling 18 touches and scoring twice last week. White is a Top 12 RB for Week 6…
#13 Kyler Murray is questionable but expects to play. He missed practice early in the week with a foot injury but returned Friday. Murray will start barring any setbacks…
#12 Terry McLaurin is trending to miss. He hasn’t practiced all week due to a quad injury. Chris Moore should continue seeing increased snaps for Washington…
#11 Chuba Hubbard remains OUT. Rico Dowdle will start in another strong matchup, this time facing his former team, the Cowboys. Dowdle is a Top 20 RB this week…
#10 Jalen Coker is questionable. He’s a game-time decision returning from a quad injury. Even if active, he may be limited, but remains the Panthers’ WR2 once healthy…
#9 Ricky Pearsall is OUT. He’ll miss his second straight game with a knee injury. Demarcus Robinson will fill in, but the 49ers could get help soon because…
#8 Jauan Jennings is trending to play. He practiced late in the week and should operate as San Francisco’s WR1 if active. Jennings is a viable flex play in Week 6…
#7 Lamar Jackson is trending to miss. He hasn’t practiced with a hamstring injury and the Ravens have a bye next week. Expect him back after the bye in Week 8…
#6 Jaylen Warren will play. He missed Week 4 before the bye but has practiced in full this week. Warren played a career-high 84% of snaps in his last appearance and is a must-start Top 15 RB…
#5 Darnell Mooney is trending to miss. He’s yet to practice after injuring his hamstring in Week 4. Casey Washington will step into more snaps if Mooney sits…
#4 Zay Flowers is questionable. He's dealing with a shoulder injury but was able to practice in limited fashion all week. He should be trending to play, but watch for confirmation on Sunday...
#3 George Kittle could return in Week 7. He’s not coming off IR yet, but there’s a real chance he’s back next week from a hamstring injury…
#2 Quentin Johnston is questionable with a hamstring injury. Hamstrings are scary, but the good news is he practiced in limited fashion all week. All signs point towards Johnston playing this week, but he could be limited...
#1 Alvin Kamara is questionable. He injured his ankle in practice on Wednesday. Kamara was able to practice in limited fashion to end the week. He’s trending to play, but track this one closely leading up to Sunday...
