Colts | Anthony Richardson's status in question Fri Oct 4, 03:58 PM
Indianapolis Colts QB Anthony Richardson (oblique) was limited during practice Friday, Oct. 4, and is listed as questionable for Week 5.
| Footballguys view: Joe Flacco got the majority of the first team snaps, so we should project him to start against the Jaguars on Sunday. That improves the outlook for Josh Downs and Michael Pittman Jr., especially with Jonathan Taylor sitting and the offense likely skewing more towards the pass. |

Steelers | Pittsburgh ruled out two running backs Fri Oct 4, 03:44 PM
Pittsburgh Steelers RBs Jaylen Warren (knee) and Cordarrelle Patterson (ankle) did not practice all week and have been ruled out for Week 5 against the Dallas Cowboys.
| Footballguys view: Najee Harris will get the vast majority of the work in the backfield and he is worth an RB2 start. The Steelers running game is yet to click as it has been hampered by offensive line injuries, but the Cowboys defense has struggled to slow down the run until bottling up Devin Singletary last week. |
Cordarrelle Patterson player page
Raiders | Zamir White unlikely to play in Week 5 Fri Oct 4, 03:07 PM
Las Vegas Raiders RB Zamir White (groin) did not practice for a second straight day on Friday, Oct. 4 , and is listed as doubtful for Week 5 versus the Denver Broncos.
| Footballguys view: Alexander Mattison will get the start with White ailing. Ameer Abdullah will help out on passing downs and rookie Dylan Laube could get some touches. |
Texans | Houston's Week 5 injury report Fri Oct 4, 03:00 PM
Houston Texans DE Derek Barnett (shoulder), RB Joe Mixon (ankle) and DE Jerry Hughes (hip) did not practice on Friday, Oct. 4, and have been ruled out for Week 5 against the Buffalo Bills. LB Jake Hansen (back) and OT Tytus Howard (hamstring) also did not practice on Friday but are listed as questionable. RB Dameon Pierce (hamstring) and WR Robert Woods (foot) were limited in practice on Friday and are listed as questionable. DT Kurt Hinish (calf) and DE Dylan Horton (illness) practiced in full on Friday but are also listed as questionable. OT Laremy Tunsil (ankle), WR Tank Dell (chest), C Juice Scruggs (hip), S Jimmie Ward (groin) and OT Blake Fisher (illness) practiced in full on Friday and no longer appear on the injury report.
| Footballguys view: Pierce rallied to get in a limited practice today, his first in three weeks, but he's probably not going to be ready to go in Week 5. |

Giants | Devin Singletary doubtful for Week 5 Fri Oct 4, 02:42 PM
New York Giants RB Devin Singletary (groin) was limited at practice on Friday, Oct. 4, but is listed as doubtful for Week 5 against the Seattle Seahawks.
| Footballguys view: Tyrone Tracy should get the start, but will have an uphill battle running against a Seahawks defense that won't have to worry about Malik Nabers. The rookie running back is just a what-the-heck flex. Eric Gray will also help pick up the slack with Singletary sitting. |

Vikings | T.J. Hockenson ruled out Fri Oct 4, 12:34 PM
Minnesota Vikings TE T.J. Hockenson (knee) has been ruled out for the Week 5 game against the New York Jets, the team announced Friday, Oct. 4.
| Footballguys view: Week 7 sounds like a reasonable return date for Hockenson. Targeting him as your TE1 has been a good strategy if only because you avoided all of the busts in the early tight end ranks. |
T.J. Hockenson player page
Commanders | Brian Robinson trending in right direction Fri Oct 4, 12:25 PM
Washington Commanders RB Brian Robinson Jr. (knee) is trending in the right direction but is likely a game-time decision, head coach Dan Quinn told reporters Friday, Oct. 4.
| Footballguys view: Robinson should be in lineups if he's active, but will carry more risk with this game time decision tag. If he's out, Austin Ekeler becomes an upside RB2 play and Jeremy McNichols becomes a what-the-heck flex. |
Cardinals | Trey McBride good to go Fri Oct 4, 12:00 PM
Arizona Cardinals TE Trey McBride (concussion) has cleared the league's concussion protocol and is good to go for Week 5, head coach Jonathan Gannon told reporters Friday, Oct. 4.
| Footballguys view: McBride should be in lineups and he makes it easier to play Kyler Murray, who has been quiet in fantasy except for a blowout win over a disintegrating Rams team. |
Giants | Malik Nabers ruled out Fri Oct 4, 11:21 AM
New York Giants WR Malik Nabers (concussion) won't play in the Week 5 game against the Seattle Seahawks, head coach Brian Daboll told reporters Friday, Oct. 4.
| Footballguys view: Wan'Dale Robinson will get a ton of targets in this game with Nabers out. The team could try to lean on the running game, but Devin Singletary (groin) just returned to practice today and is no sure thing to go in Seattle. The Seattle D/ST actually gets the biggest upgrade for what could be a very long afternoon for Daniel Jones. |
Jaguars | Evan Engram a game-time decision Fri Oct 4, 11:17 AM
Jacksonville Jaguars TE Evan Engram (hamstring) is a game-time decision for the Week 5 game against the Indianapolis Colts, head coach Doug Pederson told reporters Friday, Oct. 4.
| Footballguys view: Engram will be a risky play if he is active, but he is worth considering in a miserable year so far at tight end. If he does go, it helps Trevor Lawrence, but could take some targets away from Christian Kirk. |
Evan Engram player page
Bills | Khalil Shakir ruled out for Week 5 Fri Oct 4, 11:14 AM
Buffalo Bills WR Khalil Shakir (ankle) was ruled out for the Week 5 game against the Houston Texans, the team announced Friday, Oct. 4.
| Footballguys view: Keon Coleman and Curtis Samuel should have larger roles in the passing game, making them what-the-heck flex considerations or even WR3 options if the bye weeks and injuries have you down. Dalton Kincaid should have the best outlook of the season to date, but Josh Allen's outlook is a bit dimmer with his favorite scramble drill target out this week. The team could use James Cook and Ray Davis more as both receivers and runners to keep the offense on schedule. |
Patriots | New England places two OL on IR Fri Oct 4, 11:11 AM
New England Patriots OT Caedan Wallace (ankle) and C David Andrews (shoulder) will be placed on the Reserve/Injured list, head coach Jared Mayo told reporters Friday, Oct. 4.
| Footballguys view: A bad offensive line situation gets even worse for the Patriots. The Dolphins D/ST is a solid play this weekend, and the Dolphins running game should be able to get on track after the team got blown out against the Titans on Monday. If the Patriots are waiting for the line to gel to put Drake Maye out there, they may be waiting a while. |
Texans | Joe Mixon likely out Fri Oct 4, 10:52 AM
Houston Texans RB Joe Mixon (ankle) is expected to miss Week 5 against the Buffalo Bills.
| Footballguys view: Cam Akers and Dare Ogunbowale will split the workload. Both are just what-the-heck flexes or desperation RB2 plays with four teams on bye. Ogunbowale had the game-winning touchdown last week and is the better play of the two in PPR leagues, while Akers is better in .5/nonPPR formats. |
Joe Mixon player page
Falcons | Kyle Pitts totals 88 yards in win Fri Oct 4, 02:41 AM
Atlanta Falcons TE Kyle Pitts had seven catches (on eight targets) for 88 yards against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Thursday, Oct. 3.
| Footballguys view: Pitts had a big gain on the first drive as the Falcons followed through on plans to use him more in Week 5. The pass offense isn't going to have 500+ yards every week, but this is still promising and certainly makes Pitts rosterable in redraft leagues. The buy low window has closed, but we could end up seeing that this is the exception, not the rule for Pitts in 2024. |
Kyle Pitts player page
Falcons | Two touchdowns for Darnell Mooney Fri Oct 4, 02:28 AM
Atlanta Falcons WR Darnell Mooney had nine receptions for 105 yards and a pair of touchdowns in Week 5 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Mooney was targeted a game-high 16 times.
| Footballguys view: With this week-winning performance, Mooney is up to WR2 level production in fantasy leagues. He also drew a pass interference to set up the game winning field goal in Week 4, so there's no doubt that he is a very dangerous deep target who has been unlocked in this offense. Congrats if you took him in the late rounds. |
Darnell Mooney player page
Falcons | Drake London lights up Buccaneers Fri Oct 4, 02:19 AM
Atlanta Falcons WR Drake London caught 12 passes (on 13 targets) for 154 yards and a touchdown during a 36-30 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Thursday, Oct. 3.
| Footballguys view: London finally realized his full fantasy potential in this Thursday night shootout. It doesn't seem to be overpaying to have taken him in the second round now. London should be nearly untouchable in dynasty leagues with an aggressive downfield passer (#8 pick Michael Penix) developing behind Cousins. |
Falcons | Tyler Allgeier does little in Week 5 Fri Oct 4, 02:08 AM
Atlanta Falcons RB Tyler Allgeier totaled 12 yards on six carries versus the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 5. He also caught three passes for 13 yards.
| Footballguys view: Allgeier didn't break free and run over tacklers on his touches this week, but he was in on the second drive of the night, and he's going to cap Bijan Robinson's weekly upside as long as he keeps getting this kind of usage. He's one the most valuable backup running backs to stash on your bench. |
Falcons | Bijan Robinson logs 15 touches Fri Oct 4, 01:52 AM
Atlanta Falcons RB Bijan Robinson carried the ball a dozen times for 61 yards (5.1 YPC) against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 5. He added three catches (on three targets) for 15 yards.
| Footballguys view: Robinson continues to split the workload with Tyler Allgeier more than his fantasy teams would like to see. He could be a buy low going into Week 6 with a good matchup against the Panthers and some time to rest the issues that had him on the injury report earlier this season. Kirk Cousins passing for 500+ yards should also help loosen up run defenses further. |
Bijan Robinson player page
Falcons | Historic night for Kirk Cousins on TNF Fri Oct 4, 01:39 AM
Atlanta Falcons QB Kirk Cousins connected on 42 of his 58 passes for a franchise-record 509 yards, 4 touchdowns, and 1 interception during an overtime win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Thursday, Oct. 3. Cousins was sacked four times.
| Footballguys view: We can say that Cousins has knocked off the rust from his achilles surgery now. This was the souped up passing offense that we were hoping for when the Falcons signed Cousins. He's back to being a high floor fantasy QB1 heading into a matchup with the Panthers next week. |
Kirk Cousins player page
Buccaneers | Chris Godwin leads Bucs in receiving Fri Oct 4, 01:13 AM
Tampa Bay Buccaneers WR Chris Godwin had five receptions for 64 yards versus the Atlanta Falcons on Thursday, Oct. 3. He was targeted seven times.
| Footballguys view: Godwin's final line was limited by the Bucs getting more conservative and only able to post field goals in the second half. He has cooled off a bit after a hot start, but is still a high floor WR2 going into a matchup at New Orleans. |
Chris Godwin player page
Buccaneers | Mike Evans notches 100th career TD Fri Oct 4, 12:59 AM
Tampa Bay Buccaneers WR Mike Evans caught five passes (on seven targets) for 62 yards and a pair of touchdowns versus the Atlanta Falcons on Thursday, Oct. 3. They were the 99th and 100th touchdowns of Evans' 11-year career.
| Footballguys view: Evans had a big game considering that he was matched up with A.J. Terrell, one of the better corners in the game. He'll see a lot of Marshon Lattimore in the Superdome next week. Evans has been a strong pick so far, not falling off at all from his 2023 resurgence level of play. |
Mike Evans player page
Buccaneers | Rachaad White rushes for 72 yards Fri Oct 4, 12:23 AM
Tampa Bay Buccaneers RB Rachaad White carried the ball 10 times for a game-high 72 yards against the Atlanta Falcons on Thursday, Oct. 3. He caught three passes as well but lost yardage on each of them, finishing with minus-six yards through the air.
| Footballguys view: White was running well, but it's clear that this is a committee with Bucky Irving that is probably not going to produce a consistent start for fantasy week-to-week as long as both are healthy. There could be an opening for White's role to grow after Irving had a costly fourth quarter fumble, but we have to monitor the situation to be sure. The backs could be useful as we go through the bye week gauntlet, but neither is more than a what-the-heck flex against the Saints next week. |
Buccaneers | Baker Mayfield throws three TD passes Fri Oct 4, 12:04 AM
Tampa Bay Buccaneers QB Baker Mayfield completed 19 of 24 passes for 180 yards, 3 touchdowns, and no interceptions in a Week 5 loss to the Atlanta Falcons. He added 42 yards on six carries.
| Footballguys view: Mayfield started hot but cooled off in the second half. It was still a very successful fantasy night, as Mayfield has added more consistent rushing production to a robust passing floor. The Bucs matchup against the Saints in the Superdome next week is tough, but Mayfield has arrived as a fantasy QB1. |
Baker Mayfield player page
Colts | Anthony Richardson limited again Thu Oct 3, 03:56 PM
Indianapolis Colts QB Anthony Richardson (oblique) was limited during practice Thursday, Oct. 3.
| Footballguys view: Richardson is trying to get back out there in Week 5. He's likely questionable for the contest against the Jaguars. If Richardson can't play, the Colts will turn to veteran Joe Flacco. |
Anthony Richardson player page
Chiefs | Rashee Rice lands on IR Thu Oct 3, 03:55 PM
Kansas City Chiefs WR Rashee Rice (knee) was placed on the Reserve/Injured list on Thursday, Oct. 3.
| Footballguys view: There's the news Fantasy GMs have been waiting for. The fear is that Rice suffered a season-ending ACL injury. When the swelling goes down in his knee, further tests will be conducted. |
Rashee Rice player page
Saints | Kendre Miller gets some work in Thu Oct 3, 03:43 PM
New Orleans Saints RB Kendre Miller (hamstring) was spotted at practice for the first time since late July on Thursday, Oct. 3, according to Luke Johnson of the New Orleans Times-Picayune.
| Footballguys view: Miller is a talented back, but he's been oft-injured over the last two seasons. When healthy, we like him as a deep reserve for Fantasy GMs as he'll be a quality backup to Alvin Kamara. |
Kendre Miller player page
Saints | Fractured ribs for Taysom Hill Thu Oct 3, 03:28 PM
New Orleans Saints TE Taysom Hill (ribs) is dealing with fractured ribs, according to head coach Dennis Allen.
| Footballguys view: Ribs injuries come down to pain tolerance. With another day to heal (Saints play the Chiefs on Monday night) perhaps Hill will be able to get out there. Simply put, the Saints offense looks better when they can sprinkle in (or feature) Hill in multiple ways. |
Taysom Hill player page
Packers | Romeo Doubs away from team on Thursday Thu Oct 3, 03:24 PM
Green Bay Packers WR Romeo Doubs (personal) was absent from practice due to personal reasons on Thursday, Oct. 3.
| Footballguys view: Head coach Matt LaFleur told reporters that the team is taking it 'day-to-day' regarding the likelihood Doubs will play in Week 5 versus the Los Angeles Rams. If Doubs can't play, the Packers would turn to Dontayvion Wicks and Jayden Reed (and TE Tucker Kraft) more than ever. |
Bills | Khalil Shakir remains sidelined Thu Oct 3, 03:18 PM
Buffalo Bills WR Khalil Shakir (ankle) did not participate in practice Thursday, Oct. 3.
| Footballguys view: This is something to monitor with the Bills. Shakir is the team's leading receiver and they'll miss him if he can't play against the Texans on Sunday. |
Raiders | Zamir White a no-go on Thursday Thu Oct 3, 02:58 PM
Las Vegas Raiders RB Zamir White (groin) did not practice on Thursday, Oct. 3.
| Footballguys view: Alexander Mattison has been playing better football this year. With a larger role against the Broncos on Sunday, Mattison could produce like an RB3/flex for Fantasy GMs. |
Giants | Malik Nabers misses second straight practice Thu Oct 3, 02:45 PM
New York Giants WR Malik Nabers (concussion) did not practice for a second consecutive day on Thursday, Oct. 3.
| Footballguys view: Nabers is a long shot to play in Week 5. That means Wan'Dale Robinson could be the top wide receiver for the Giants as they play on the road against Seattle on Sunday. |
Browns | Nick Chubb no worse for wear after first practice Thu Oct 3, 02:22 PM
Cleveland Browns RB Nick Chubb (knee) told reporters his knee felt good on Thursday, Oct. 3 - one day after going through his first practice in over a year. Neither the team nor Chubb knows for sure when he will make his season debut, but it will have to be within the next three weeks after the Browns opened up his 21-day practice window on Wednesday.
| Footballguys view: Chubb may not be back in Week 5, but a return in Week 6 is not out of the question. When he gets back on the field and is at full strength it will take touches away from Jerome Ford. Let's see what Chubb looks like next week in practice. |
Nick Chubb player page
Commanders | Austin Ekeler making progress Thu Oct 3, 01:56 PM
Washington Commanders RB Austin Ekeler (concussion) practiced without his no-contact jersey on Thursday, Oct. 3.
| Footballguys view: Ekeler needs to practice Friday to see if he can play in Week 5. Brian Robinson has missed two practices this week, so Ekeler could be the Commanders' lead back against the Browns. |
Austin Ekeler player page
Commanders | Brian Robinson Jr. sidelined again Thu Oct 3, 01:47 PM
Washington Commanders RB Brian Robinson Jr. (knee) did not practice for a second consecutive day on Thursday, Oct. 3.
| Footballguys view: If Austin Ekeler can come back from his concussion, he might be the lead back for the Commanders. Jeremy McNichols is there to do more if Robinson is not quite himself or Ekeler still isn't fully back. |
Texans | Tank Dell practices again on Thursday Thu Oct 3, 01:37 PM
Houston Texans WR Tank Dell (chest) was limited at practice for a second straight day on Thursday, Oct. 3.
| Footballguys view: Dell should be out there in Week 5 against the Bills. With Nico Collins and Stefon Diggs, Dell will be looking for big plays on limited targets. We like him as a 'what the heck' flex. |
Tank Dell player page
Texans | Houston's top two backs sitting again on Thursday Thu Oct 3, 01:17 PM
Houston Texans RB Joe Mixon (ankle) and RB Dameon Pierce (hamstring) did not practice on Thursday, Oct. 3.
| Footballguys view: Mixon and Pierce may have to miss Week 5, but we've seen this before. The Texans can turn to Cam Akers in a big game against the Bills. Without clarity on Mixon's status (Friday will provide that), we can only recommend Akers as a deep flex play. |
Joe Mixon player page
Colts | No practice for Jonathan Taylor on Thursday Thu Oct 3, 01:03 PM
Updating a previous report, Indianapolis Colts RB Jonathan Taylor (ankle) did not practice on Thursday, Oct. 3.
| Footballguys view: That's two days of missed practice with this high-ankle sprain. Taylor may be limited on Friday, but he may just have to miss a few weeks. That means the Colts could turn to Trey Sermon as a runner and Tyler Goodson as a receiving back. |
Jonathan Taylor player page
Chiefs | Rashee Rice update Thu Oct 3, 12:55 PM
Kansas City Chiefs WR Rashee Rice (knee) is waiting for the swelling in his knee to subside before going for additional testing next week, head coach Andy Reid told reporters Thursday, Oct. 3.
| Footballguys view: Does Rice have a torn ACL or not? That's what every Fantasy GM is waiting on. When the swelling goes down, further testing will be done. After that, we'll know the fate of Rice. |
Rashee Rice player page
Colts | Jonathan Taylor not practicing Thursday Thu Oct 3, 11:41 AM
Indianapolis Colts RB Jonathan Taylor (ankle) is not practicing Thursday, Oct. 3.
| Footballguys view: That's two days of missed practice with this high-ankle sprain. Taylor may be limited on Friday, but he may just have to miss a few weeks. That means the Colts could turn to Trey Sermon as a runner and Tyler Goodson as a receiving back. |
Jonathan Taylor player page
49ers | Ricky Pearsall won't practice this week Thu Oct 3, 11:38 AM
San Francisco 49ers WR Ricky Pearsall (chest) will not have his practice window opened this week, head coach Kyle Shanahan told reporters Thursday, Oct. 3.
| Footballguys view: Pearsall is on the non-football injury list after he was shot in an attempted robbery. He's close to returning but will have to wait just a bit longer. With Brock Purdy playing good football, Pearsall just gives him another speedy weapon to attack on underneath or deep routes. |
Giants | Devin Singletary improving Thu Oct 3, 10:36 AM
New York Giants RB Devin Singletary (groin) has a chance to play in Week 5. He said Wednesday, Oct. 2, he felt the best he had since the Thursday game he injured his groin.
| Footballguys view: We might see Tyrone Tracy do more if Singletary isn't quite himself. Eric Gray is there too, but it sounds like Singletary might be out there against the Seahawks. |
Devin Singletary player page
Giants | Malik Nabers a long shot for Week 5 Thu Oct 3, 10:33 AM
New York Giants WR Malik Nabers (concussion) seems like a long shot to play in Week 5, according to beat writer Jordan Raanan.
| Footballguys view: Wan'Dale Robinson could do more this week against Seattle without Nabers on the field. We like Robinson as a WR2 with a high upside in a game where the Giants are going to have to push for more points. |
Raiders | Davante Adams trade likely? Thu Oct 3, 09:44 AM
Las Vegas Raiders WR Davante Adams seems to have the Raiders ready to honor his trade request, and he will have input, but the team will ultimately go with the best offer. Adams prefers the New York Jets, but he hasn't demanded a trade to a specific team.
| Footballguys view: There are quite a few teams interested in Adams, so we'll see how long it takes for a deal to come together. The Jets seem like the destination, but reports are coming out that the Chiefs and the Bills are monitoring the situation. |
Davante Adams player page
Chiefs | Clyde Edwards-Helaire designated to return Thu Oct 3, 09:44 AM
Kansas City Chiefs RB Clyde Edwards-Helaire (personal) was designated to return from the Reserve/Non-Football Injury list on Wednesday, Oct. 2.
| Footballguys view: There's an opportunity here for Edwards-Helaire when he's able to get back out there. Kareem Hunt may be the lead back for the Chiefs now, but Edwards-Helaire might have more left in the tank. He doesn't need to come off the field as he can make plays as a runner or receiver out of the backfield. It will be interesting to see how he's worked into the mix. |
Clyde Edwards-Helaire player page
Bills | Khalil Shakir does not practice Wed Oct 2, 04:07 PM
Buffalo Bills WR Khalil Shakir (ankle) did not participate in practice Wednesday, Oct. 2.
| Footballguys view: The Bills might just be getting Shakir some rest here as he deals with this ankle injury. Let's see what he can do on Friday as the Bills prepare to play the Texans in Week 5. |
Steelers | Cordarrelle Patterson sits out Wed Oct 2, 03:43 PM
Pittsburgh Steelers RB Cordarrelle Patterson (ankle) did not participate in practice Wednesday, Oct. 2.
| Footballguys view: Patterson was the second-leading rusher for the Steelers last week against the Colts. This ankle injury is one to monitor with Friday being the big day of practice. |
Cordarrelle Patterson player page
Saints | NO may be destination for Davante Adams Wed Oct 2, 03:24 PM
Las Vegas Raiders WR Davante Adams sees the New Orleans Saints as one of his preferred destinations if he traded because of his familiarity with QB Derek Carr, according to sources.
| Footballguys view: Adams and Carr were college teammates, and that's why the connection with the Raiders was so interesting. The Raiders got rid of Carr, and Adams hasn't been the same since. We'll see if the Saints can figure out a way to get a trade done to reconnect these long-time friends. |
Davante Adams player page
Jets | Davante Adams interested in NYJ Wed Oct 2, 03:23 PM
Las Vegas Raiders WR Davante Adams sees the New York Jets as one of his preferred destinations if he traded because of his familiarity with QB Aaron Rodgers, according to sources.
| Footballguys view: Rodgers and Adams were a thing with the Packers for years. The Jets have Garrett Wilson as their top receiver, but adding Adams would only help. With Rodgers banged up and looking his age, the Jets need to do everything they can to get the most out of the veteran quarterback while potentially in a playoff window this season. |
Davante Adams player page
Vikings | T.J. Hockenson will practice Friday Wed Oct 2, 02:41 PM
Minnesota Vikings TE T.J. Hockenson (knee) will practice on Friday, Oct. 4, opening his 21-day window to be activated from the reserve/physically unable to perform list, head coach Kevin O'Connell said on Wednesday, Oct. 2.
| Footballguys view: Hockenson suffered a torn ACL in Week 16 of the 2023 season, and he's been on the road to recovery since. He will practice this week in London as the Vikings prepare to take on the Jets in Week 5. With a three-week window, Hockenson may take a couple of more weeks to get out there. |
T.J. Hockenson player page
Commanders | Austin Ekeler may return Wed Oct 2, 02:35 PM
Washington Commanders RB Austin Ekeler (concussion) is trending in the right direction to play in Week 5, head coach Dan Quinn said on Wednesday, Oct. 2.
| Footballguys view: Let's see how Ekeler looks as he comes back from this concussion. Ekeler has looked like the old Ekeler (which is a good thing) this season when healthy. Brian Robinson is still going to do his thing as the lead back, but Ekeler's return gives Jayden Daniels another weapon to use. When Ekeler is back, Fantasy GMs can use him as a flex play with upside. |
Austin Ekeler player page
