Eagles | Eagles could start McKee, Pierce, Cooper Sunday in 'Murphy's Law kind of season' Thu Oct 15, 02:59 PM
The Eagles are in line to have just three of their opening-day starters on the field Sunday against the Panthers, calling it "a Murphy's Law kind of season in Philly." Based on roster and practice status as of Thursday's practice, beat writer Zach Berman projected a starting offense of QB Tanner McKee, RB Dameon Pierce, WRs Dontayvion Wicks, Makai Lemon and Darius Cooper, and TE Dallas Goedert.

Eagles | Jalen Hurts out with blood clot, Tanner McKee in line to start 'moving forward' Thu Oct 15, 01:07 PM
Eagles QB Jalen Hurts will miss Sunday's game against the Panthers after a follow-up ultrasound on Wednesday night revealed movement in a small, superficial blood clot, the team announced. The clot was found on an ultrasound in London before the Week 5 game against the Jaguars, after Hurts sought treatment for a calf injury he said came from being cleated in the Rams game. Doctors cleared him to play, and he played without limitation and practiced in full on Wednesday. The Eagles said Hurts is out "as we determine the appropriate course of treatment." Hurts is expected to be out until the medical situation is resolved, with QB Tanner McKee taking over "moving forward."

Jets | Frank Reich on Braelon Allen: Jets have 'the best 1-2 combo in the NFL' Thu Oct 15, 11:59 AM
Frank Reich praised Jets RB Braelon Allen on Thursday. "We think we have the best 1-2 combo in the NFL," Reich said. Allen ran for 116 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's win over the Browns.
| Footballguys view: We love what Allen has done filling in for Breece Hall. Allen is a big back who can be tough to bring down, and he's got more moves than most big guys can bring to the field. Without Hall in Week 6, Allen should produce like an RB2 with upside. |

Buccaneers | Baker Mayfield not practicing Thursday, Jalon Daniels to start vs. Steelers Thu Oct 15, 11:38 AM
Buccaneers QB Baker Mayfield (thumb) did not practice on Thursday, and rookie QB Jalon Daniels "will start vs the Steelers barring something unforeseen" in Sunday's Week 6 game. Daniels also started in Mayfield's place in Week 5 against the Cowboys. "Another week as the starter for Jalon Daniels," NFL Network's Ian Rapoport posted.
| Footballguys view: Mayfield is down this week, and he may not even return next week. We'll have to see what he can do in practice a week from now. Daniels can move around a bit, but his lacking of production as a passer makes him a streaming option in start-2QB/superflex leagues. |

Steelers | Aaron Rodgers has 'a lot of trust' in WR options amid injuries Thu Oct 15, 08:18 AM
Steelers QB Aaron Rodgers said he has "a lot of trust in our options" at wide receiver as Pittsburgh deals with injuries at the position.
| Footballguys view: The Steelers are heading into Week 6 short on healthy wide receivers. Roman Wilson (finger) is expected to miss a couple of weeks, and Steelers HC Mike McCarthy said Ben Skowronek (leg) has been ruled out for Week 6. Rookie WR Germie Bernard is a player we like as a flex play with upside in Week 6 against the Buccaneers. |

Bills | Joshua Palmer estimated limited at Wednesday walk-through Wed Oct 14, 10:23 PM
Bills WR Joshua Palmer (shoulder) was listed as an estimated limited participant on Wednesday after the team held only a walk-through.

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 walk-through 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. |

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 Jr. 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. |

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 II 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. |

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 as 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. |

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. |
