Bills | DJ Moore an estimated non-participant at Wednesday walk-through Wed Oct 14, 07:20 PM
Bills WR DJ Moore was listed as an estimated non-participant at Wednesday's walk-through. Five other Bills players were estimated as limited on Wednesday's injury report.
| Footballguys view: Moore was ruled out for Monday night's game against the Rams with a shoulder injury. Being a non-participant in a walkthrough on Wednesday puts him on the wrong side of questionable. Let's see if Moore can at least be limited in Friday's practice at the latest, as the team prepares for a Sunday afternoon game against the Raiders. |

Chargers | Ladd McConkey limited at Wednesday practice ahead of Week 6 Wed Oct 14, 06:28 PM
Chargers WR Ladd McConkey (foot) was a limited participant in practice on Wednesday, the first injury report ahead of Sunday's Week 6 game at the Chiefs.
| Footballguys view: McConkey was active against the Broncos on Sunday but was not expected to play meaningful snaps because of the foot injury. It seemed like he might be close to returning last week, and a limited participation on Wednesday is a good sign. |

Broncos | Talanoa Hufanga out Thursday night vs. Seahawks Wed Oct 14, 06:16 PM
Broncos S Talanoa Hufanga (ankle) has been ruled out for Thursday night's Week 6 game against the Seahawks. Hufanga suffered the ankle injury on Sunday against the Chargers and was reported earlier Wednesday to be expected to miss multiple weeks.

Broncos | Pat Surtain II ruled out for Thursday night vs. Seahawks Wed Oct 14, 06:16 PM
Broncos CB Pat Surtain II (ankle) has been ruled out for Thursday night's Week 6 game against the Seahawks. Surtain was called 'week-to-week' with the ankle injury earlier this month, and Sean Payton said last week he did not believe Surtain would go on injured reserve.

Seahawks | Zach Charbonnet ruled out for Thursday night at Denver Wed Oct 14, 06:12 PM
The Seahawks ruled out RB Zach Charbonnet (knee) for Thursday night's Week 6 game at Denver. The move was expected, as head coach Mike Macdonald said at the start of the week the team was not planning to play him. Everyone else on Seattle's 53-man roster except LBs Drake Thomas and Chazz Surratt is good to go.
| Footballguys view: Charbonnet is getting closer to a return, but it's a short week and Seattle is on the road. This week against the Broncos, George Holani, Emanuel Wilson, and Robert Henry get a crack at running the ball. The Seahawks have yet to find much success on the ground this year. That changes when Charbonnet is healthy, but for this week on the road against the Broncos a three-headed RBBC is the play. |

Eagles | DeVonta Smith listed with toe injury in addition to hamstring Wed Oct 14, 06:10 PM
Eagles WR DeVonta Smith was listed with a toe injury on Wednesday's injury report, in addition to the hamstring injury that kept him out of the London game against the Jaguars. Smith worked off to the side at practice on Wednesday.

Seahawks | Jaxon Smith-Njigba 'good to go' for Thursday at Denver Wed Oct 14, 06:00 PM
Seahawks WR Jaxon Smith-Njigba is good to go for Thursday's Week 6 game at the Broncos. RB Zach Charbonnet, LB Chazz Surratt and LB Drake Thomas are the only Seahawks ruled out, with everyone else, Smith-Njigba included, cleared to play.
| Footballguys view: There's no Pat Surtain on the other side of the field, so Smith-Njigba could have a field day. The surface could be wet as it's expected to rain before the contest on Thursday night. Even with a wet track, Smith-Njigba is always a set-it-and-forget-it WR1 for Fantasy GMs. |

Cardinals | Brissett says McBride's frustration was 'about the double-team stuff' Wed Oct 14, 05:48 PM
Cardinals QB Jacoby Brissett said on Wednesday that TE Trey McBride's frustration was "about the double-team stuff." "I had to bring the tablet over, and I'm like, 'Look, bro, I don't know what you want. I can't force that in and put the team in jeopardy,'" Brissett said. "He understands that. It's the competitor in him."
| Footballguys view: McBride is one of the most competitive players in the league, and that's why he's one of the best tight ends in the game. Brissett won't be too risky with the ball, and that has to be frustrating for a guy like McBride who feels like he can make a play regardless of the coverage....and, he's not too far off in that sentiment. |

Jaguars | Jakobi Meyers off injury report for Week 6 Wed Oct 14, 05:38 PM
Jaguars WR Jakobi Meyers is off the injury report Wednesday ahead of Sunday's Week 6 game against the Texans. Meyers had been listed with a thumb injury last week but practiced in full on Wednesday and Thursday.

Colts | Jonathan Taylor limited Wednesday ahead of Week 6 against Titans Wed Oct 14, 05:14 PM
Colts RB Jonathan Taylor was limited at practice on Wednesday with a rest designation ahead of Sunday's Week 6 game against the Titans.

Falcons | Michael Penix Jr. a full participant in Wednesday practice Wed Oct 14, 05:06 PM
Falcons QB Michael Penix Jr. (ribs) was a full participant in practice on Wednesday. Head coach Kevin Stefanski said earlier Wednesday that Penix will likely start Sunday against the Bears, barring setbacks.

Saints | Tyler Shough a full participant in Wednesday's practice Wed Oct 14, 05:00 PM
Saints QB Tyler Shough (left hand) was a full participant in practice on Wednesday.
| Footballguys view: Good news for the Saints here. Shough said after Sunday's loss to the Vikings that he was unsure whether his left hand was broken, calling it 'banged up.' The Saints play at the Giants on Sunday. We like Shough as a QB2 with upside in Week 6. |

Ravens | Zay Flowers off injury report for first time this season Wed Oct 14, 04:58 PM
Ravens WR Zay Flowers was not listed on Baltimore's injury report on Wednesday, the first time all season he has not appeared on it.
| Footballguys view: Flowers is fantastic when healthy, and he's back at full strength (or close as you can get in the regular season). He had been dealing with a foot injury and was active for Sunday night's game at Atlanta. This week against the Browns, Flowers is a WR1 as per usual. |

Cardinals | Jeremiyah Love sitting out Wednesday practice with ankle issue Wed Oct 14, 04:53 PM
Cardinals RB Jeremiyah Love sat out practice on Wednesday with an ankle issue. The team will see how the week goes in terms of his availability for Sunday's game against the Rams.
| Footballguys view: Fantasy GMs need to keep their head on a swivel here. Love's ankle was being managed last week before he was cleared to play against the Lions, and he was held to 22 yards on 12 carries in that loss. We'll see if he can do more as the week of practice rolls on. Reports indicate Love is managing the high-ankle sprain from the preseason and he may have picked up an injury to his other ankle too. |

Patriots | Drake Maye a full participant in Wednesday's practice Wed Oct 14, 04:51 PM

Giants | Abdul Carter misses practice with calf injury, Harbaugh says he's 'doing very well' Wed Oct 14, 04:28 PM
Giants DE Abdul Carter did not practice on Wednesday due to a calf injury, putting his status for Sunday's game against the Saints in question. Head coach John Harbaugh would only say that Carter is "doing very well." The Giants are already without DE Brian Burns, who is out for the season with a torn ACL.

Saints | Chris Olave among three Saints players 'sick' on Wednesday Wed Oct 14, 04:26 PM
Saints WR Chris Olave was sick on Wednesday. DTs Nathan Shepherd and Vernon Broughton were also sick. Olave was limited in practice last Thursday with a foot injury and was seen in a walking boot, but head coach Kellen Moore said last Friday that he was 'fine.'
| Footballguys view: The bad news is a trio of players is sick. The good news is it's just Wednesday, so there's plenty of time to get to feeling better. Olave caught 4-of-6 targets for 46 yards in the Saints' Week 5 loss to the Vikings. If out there against the Giants, Olave is a top-tier WR1 for Fantasy GMs in Week 6. |

Colts | Josh Downs limited Wednesday with hamstring injury and rest Wed Oct 14, 04:18 PM
Colts WR Josh Downs was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice due to rest as well as a hamstring injury. Indianapolis hosts the Titans on Sunday.
| Footballguys view: Rest and a hamstring....could just be his hamstring needed some rest. No matter the largest reasoning for his limitation, Downs needs to practice in full on Thursday or Friday for us to feel good recommending him as a WR3/flex option for Fantasy GMs in Week 6. Stay tuned. |

Panthers | Tommy Tremble limited on Wednesday's estimated report Wed Oct 14, 04:10 PM

Steelers | Roman Wilson, Ben Skowronek ruled out for Week 6 at Buccaneers Wed Oct 14, 04:00 PM
Steelers WR Roman Wilson (finger) and WR Ben Skowronek (calf) have both been ruled out for Sunday's game at the Buccaneers after suffering injuries in last week's win over the Colts. "Both receivers will not be available this week," head coach Mike McCarthy said, adding that as of now he expects it to be just one week: "That's what we have so far, yes." Both receivers did not practice on Wednesday, and the Steelers are also without WR Michael Pittman Jr., who is on injured reserve with a foot injury.

Panthers WR Jalen Coker (quadriceps) was listed as a full participant on Wednesday's injury report.

The team returns to practice on Thursday ahead of Sunday's game at the Eagles.

Texans | Woody Marks RB1 with Montgomery out, Jawhar Jordan could be elevated Wed Oct 14, 03:31 PM
Texans head coach DeMeco Ryans said on Wednesday that RB David Montgomery (groin) is out and RB Woody Marks will be the RB1 this week for Sunday's game at Jacksonville. Ryans also discussed the chance of RB Jawhar Jordan being elevated: "Jawhar able to create some explosive plays. Jawhar very fast player, been working with us for a while good job with his role. If his role increases, maximizes. He'll be just fine."
| Footballguys view: The Texans travel to London to take on the Jaguars in Week 6. The Texans aren't running the ball effectively, but Marks is going to get a shot as the primary back. That makes Marks an RB3/flex play for Fantasy GMs working through four teams on bye. |

Texans | DeMeco Ryans says Marvin Harrison Jr. will play against Jaguars in London Wed Oct 14, 03:26 PM
Texans WR Marvin Harrison Jr. will play in Sunday's Week 6 game against the Jaguars in London, head coach DeMeco Ryans said on Wednesday. Harrison took part in his first practice with the Texans on Wednesday after passing his physical on Monday.
| Footballguys view: Fantasy GMs are excited about the fresh start Harrison gets with the Texans, but it could be awhile before he hits his stride with his new team. General manager Nick Caserio said earlier Wednesday that a clear picture of Harrison's role may be '3-4 weeks' away. We like Harrison as a 'what the heck' flex play in Week 6. |

Ravens | Lamar Jackson 'day to day' after sitting out Wednesday's practice Wed Oct 14, 03:23 PM
Ravens QB Lamar Jackson (ankle) did not practice on Wednesday. Coach Jesse Minter said after practice that Jackson is considered day-to-day.
| Footballguys view: Jackson missed Baltimore's Week 5 game at Atlanta with the ankle injury, and he may be in line to miss the game against the Browns on Sunday. Tyler Huntley would get another start if Jackson has to miss more time. |

Eagles | DeVonta Smith working off to the side Wednesday Wed Oct 14, 02:56 PM
Eagles WR DeVonta Smith (hamstring) was working off to the side at the start of Wednesday's practice, ESPN's Tim McManus reported. Smith missed the Eagles' Week 5 game against the Jaguars with the injury.
| Footballguys view: It's a move in the right direction for Smith. He hasn't played since Week 3 as he recovers from this hamstring injury. Circle back on Friday to see if he can at least be limited as the team prepares for a game against the Panthers. |
DeVonta Smith player page
Eagles | No sign of Saquon Barkley at Wednesday practice Wed Oct 14, 02:33 PM
Eagles RB Saquon Barkley was not seen at practice on Wednesday as he deals with a hamstring injury. Barkley missed Sunday's game against the Jaguars in London and was considered 'week-to-week' afterward.
| Footballguys view: On Monday he was described as having 'a shot to return' for Sunday's Week 6 game against the Panthers. In fact, Eagles HC Nick Sirianni said he's "hopeful" he will receive offensive reinforcements this week (he was asked about Barkley's availability). It's Wednesday, so Fantasy GMs have to wait until Friday to see if Barkley can at get in a limited practice. |

Cardinals | Cardinals not expected to turn to Carson Beck until 'late November' Wed Oct 14, 02:32 PM
The Cardinals are not expected to switch to rookie QB Carson Beck until late November, when their schedule eases, ESPN's Dan Graziano reported. "I absolutely expect the Cardinals to take a look at Beck at some point this season, though I've been told it might not happen until late November," Graziano said, pointing to a stretch of at Rams, vs. Broncos, at Cowboys, at Seahawks, vs. Rams and at Chiefs as "a bit of a gauntlet for a rookie QB." Graziano added that Beck could play sooner "especially if Brissett gets traded at the deadline," but "I don't get the sense the Cardinals are planning to rush this." Weinfuss echoed the report, saying he had said the same thing.
| Footballguys view: A third-round pick out of Miami, Beck could be a player you'd want to build around. They're good with Brissett as their starter for now, but it only makes sense to take a look at a young quarterback when the team is going nowhere in 2026. When Beck takes over, it would likely ding the fantasy value of Cardinals skill position players. |

Colts | Keenan Allen not practicing Wednesday ahead of Week 6 against Titans Wed Oct 14, 02:11 PM
Colts WR Keenan Allen was not practicing on Wednesday. No reason was given for his absence. Allen was listed as questionable with a groin injury for last Sunday's game against the Steelers after a full practice on Friday.
| Footballguys view: Allen is a seasoned veteran, so this could be a rest day. He did not play his normal amount of snaps last week in his first week back from a groin injury. However, Allen caught 5-of-9 targets for 45 yards in the Week 5 loss to the Steelers. We like Allen as a WR3/flex play in Week 6. |

Texans | David Montgomery not practicing Wednesday Wed Oct 14, 01:53 PM
Texans RB David Montgomery (groin) did not practice on Wednesday ahead of Sunday's game at Jacksonville.
| Footballguys view: Montgomery was ruled out of Sunday's win over the Titans with the groin injury and was termed 'week to week' on Monday. It's unlikely we see Montgomery in Week 6 against the Jaguars. Woody Marks should be the featured back for the Texans as they travel to London to play their division rival. |

Raiders | Kubiak on sitting Ashton Jeanty to get healthy: 'He's playing' Wed Oct 14, 01:52 PM
Raiders head coach Klint Kubiak said on Wednesday that RB Ashton Jeanty is starting to "feel a lot better" physically.
| Footballguys view: When asked if the team considered sitting Jeanty to get him healthy, Kubiak said, "He's playing." Jeanty played through ankle and foot injuries against the Patriots on Sunday. Fantasy GMs sitting on Mike Washington hoping for a larger role will have to wait. |

Jaguars | Tuten's touches up three straight weeks as Rodriguez fades Wed Oct 14, 01:32 PM
Jaguars RB Bhayshul Tuten's touch count has risen in three straight weeks, and his two highest route shares have come in the last two games. RB Chris Rodriguez Jr. had just three touches in Sunday's win over the Eagles and is averaging six touches per game. Tuten has two touchdowns this season, and penalties wiped out two others in Week 4.
| Footballguys view: Tuten is a dynamic player, and the Jaguars' offense is looking to get more big plays. If this role continues at the current pace, Tuten is an RB2/flex option for Fantasy GMs in PPR formats. |
Bhayshul Tuten player page
Texans | Marvin Harrison Jr. takes part in first practice with Texans Wed Oct 14, 01:21 PM
Texans WR Marvin Harrison Jr. took part in his first practice with Houston on Wednesday. The session reunites Harrison with QB C.J. Stroud, his former teammate at Ohio State.
| Footballguys view: Harrison is a 'what the heck' flex play in Week 6. It's going to take some time with his new team, but that chemistry he had with Stroud in college should be able to come back quickly. He's given Fantasy GMs little to root for, but when he's up to speed with his new team Harrison could be a weekly flex play. |

Ravens | Lamar Jackson not present at start of Wednesday's practice Wed Oct 14, 01:20 PM
Ravens QB Lamar Jackson was not present at the start of the media viewing portion of practice on Wednesday.

Ravens | 'Enthusiastic' Ja'Kobi Lane back at practice, opening IR return window Wed Oct 14, 01:15 PM
Ravens rookie WR Ja'Kobi Lane returned to the practice field on Wednesday, which starts his window to be activated off injured reserve. Lane injured his wrist in the season opener on Sept. 13.
| Footballguys view: Fantasy GMs who are stashing Lane could see the talented rookie receiver back in action against the Browns. He'll be more productive when Lamar Jackson is at quarterback, but Lane is a boom/bust flex play if he does suit up for Week 6. It's not a 'for sure' thing he's playing in Week 6, but all reports (including a full practice on Wednesday) have us leaning in that direction. |
Ja'Kobi Lane player page
Patriots | Christian Gonzalez will 'try to do some stuff' at practice Wednesday Wed Oct 14, 01:03 PM
Patriots CB Christian Gonzalez will "try to do some stuff today. We'll see how that goes," head coach Mike Vrabel said on Wednesday. Gonzalez was not spotted at practice last Wednesday and was ruled out against the Bills earlier this month. New England hosts the Jets on Sunday.

Patriots | A.J. Brown returning to practice Wednesday, 21-day IR window opens Wed Oct 14, 01:01 PM
Patriots WR A.J. Brown will return to practice on Wednesday, opening his 21-day window to be activated off injured reserve. Brown has been on IR with an ankle sprain. The Patriots host the Jets on Sunday.
| Footballguys view: Brown's window to return is open, and the Patriots could do that for the game against the Jets. If he does play in Week 6, Brown is likely to be limited as the team works him back into the gameplan. That makes Brown a WR3/flex candidate for Fantasy GMs excited to get him back. With more time (and when he gets back into football shape), Brown will get back to his normal weekly WR1 status. |
A.J. Brown player page
Chiefs | Rashee Rice won't practice Wednesday, per Andy Reid Wed Oct 14, 12:49 PM
Chiefs WR Rashee Rice (hamstring) will not practice on Wednesday, head coach Andy Reid said. Rice injured his hamstring in the first quarter against the Raiders on October 4 and left that game.
| Footballguys view: Hamstring injuries on fast players are tricky to deal with. Rice could suit up in Week 6, but coming off a bye and missing practice on Wednesday is not a great sign. We'll see if he can at least be limited by Friday at the latest. |
Rashee Rice player page
Jets | Kenyon Sadiq still in concussion protocol Wed Oct 14, 12:46 PM
Jets TE Kenyon Sadiq remains in the concussion protocol as of Wednesday. Sadiq was ruled out with a concussion during Sunday's win over the Browns. The Jets visit the Patriots in Week 6.
| Footballguys view: Sadiq was concussed in Week 5, and now he must get through the protocol to play in Week 6. If the rookie can't clear protocol in time, Mason Taylor would be a flex-worthy tight end against the Patriots on Sunday. |
Kenyon Sadiq player page
Raiders | Raiders have 'internally discussed' giving Ashton Jeanty a week off to heal Wed Oct 14, 12:46 PM
The Raiders have internally discussed giving RB Ashton Jeanty a week off to heal at some point, ESPN's Dan Graziano reported on Wednesday. "He does not want to take a week off and has pushed to play through the injuries," Graziano reported. Jeanty played through ankle and foot injuries in Sunday's loss to the Patriots after being a game-time decision.
| Footballguys view: On Wednesday, Raiders HC Klint Kubiak shot down the idea of Jeanty getting a week of rest. In fact, Kubiak said Jeanty is starting to "feel a lot better." We've got Jeanty in the low-end RB1 range against the Bills in Week 6. |
Ashton Jeanty player page
Texans | Caserio: clear picture of Marvin Harrison Jr.'s role may be '3-4 weeks' away Wed Oct 14, 12:41 PM
Texans GM Nick Caserio said on 95.7 The Fan that the team likely won't have a clear picture of WR Marvin Harrison Jr.'s role for another three to four weeks, potentially after the bye. Caserio also emphasized that acquiring a young receiver under contract for at least two more seasons was part of the reasoning behind the trade. Players need time to get acclimated to a new offense, which is why head coach DeMeco Ryans usually pursues in-season additions who were with the team in camp or have played in similar systems.
| Footballguys view: Texans HC DeMeco Ryans said Harrison Jr. will play in Week 6 against the Jaguars. What should Fantasy GMs expect? Well, early on the team is likely to ease him into action as he learns the playbook. We're excited about the fresh start for Harrison, but this week against the Jaguars (in London) we only see him as a 'what the heck' flex. With more time on his new team, Harrison could easily have weekly flex appeal. |
