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 a while 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. |

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. |

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 least 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. The official injury report listed it as a rest day. 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 Jr. hoping for a larger role will have to wait. |

Raiders | Jalen Nailor will practice Thursday Wed Oct 14, 01:49 PM

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. |

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.
| Footballguys view: Jackson missed Sunday night's game against the Falcons with a sprained left ankle. He may have to miss another game, and that makes Tyler Huntley the team's starter once again. |

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. |

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 activate him 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 game plan. 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 Oct. 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. |

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. |

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 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. |

Buccaneers | Antoine Winfield Jr. continues to recover from rib fracture Wed Oct 14, 12:32 PM

Broncos | Talanoa Hufanga expected to miss multiple weeks with ankle injury Wed Oct 14, 12:31 PM
Broncos S Talanoa Hufanga is expected to miss multiple weeks with an ankle injury. One source estimated he will be out about two to three weeks, depending on how he recovers. Hufanga was questionable to return after suffering the injury on Sunday against the Chargers.

Titans | Tony Pollard not at Titans practice Wednesday Wed Oct 14, 12:28 PM
Titans RB Tony Pollard was not at practice on Wednesday. The official injury report listed it as a rest day. Pollard and RB Tyjae Spears split the running back snaps nearly evenly in Sunday's loss to the Texans.
| Footballguys view: Pollard has been missing practices during the week, only to show up on gameday and produce for the Titans. Pollard rushed 14 times for 52 yards in Tennessee's Week 5 loss to the Texans. In Week 6 against the Colts, we've got Pollard in the RB2/flex range. We'll see if he's moved before the trade deadline, as there are plenty of teams who could use a back like Pollard. |

Adonai Mitchell had surgery on injured finger, 'week-to-week' Wed Oct 14, 12:27 PM
Jets WR Adonai Mitchell did have a surgical procedure to repair his injured finger, head coach Aaron Glenn acknowledged on Wednesday. Mitchell is week-to-week.
| Footballguys view: If Mitchell doesn't play in Week 6, that will make four straight missed games. With Omar Cooper Jr. returning to practice, the Jets will be establishing a pecking order for receivers not named Garrett Wilson. |

Breece Hall 'week-to-week,' per Aaron Glenn Wed Oct 14, 12:26 PM
Jets RB Breece Hall (quad) is week-to-week, head coach Aaron Glenn said on Wednesday. Hall was ruled out for the Week 5 win over the Browns and has now been given no clear timeline for a return.
| Footballguys view: The Jets can easily continue with Braelon Allen as their lead back. We've got Allen as an RB2 with upside in Week 6 against the Patriots. |

Browns | Dylan Sampson designated for return, Monken says 'chance' he plays Sunday Wed Oct 14, 12:16 PM
Browns RB Dylan Sampson has been designated for return from injured reserve and is eligible to return to practice. Head coach Todd Monken said Wednesday there is a "chance" Sampson could play Sunday against the Ravens. Sampson was placed on injured reserve in September with a knee injury.
| Footballguys view: Jaleel McLaughlin could be the lead back for the Browns against the Ravens in Week 6. If Sampson does play, it's likely they ease him back into action after a four-week stint on IR. |

Bears | Caleb Williams a full participant on Wednesday's estimated report Wed Oct 14, 12:09 PM
Bears QB Caleb Williams (hamstring) will be listed as a full participant on Wednesday's estimated practice report, head coach Ben Johnson said.
| Footballguys view: Williams missed Sunday's loss to the Packers with the hamstring injury after being listed as questionable following a limited practice on Friday. He's getting closer to a return, and we should see the Bears' franchise quarterback in action on Sunday. If he plays against the Falcons, Williams should be considered a QB1 for Fantasy GMs out there. |

Falcons | Michael Penix Jr. set to practice Wednesday despite rib injury Wed Oct 14, 11:59 AM
Falcons QB Michael Penix Jr. is set to practice on Wednesday despite a rib injury. Rapoport called it "a good sign for his availability this weekend" for Sunday's game against the Bears.
| Footballguys view: Potentially good news for the Falcons here. Well, anything to keep Tua Tagovailoa off the field. Penix's rib injury was described as "not considered serious" on Monday after he left Sunday's loss to the Ravens. Penix is feeling better and will likely start Sunday against the Bears, assuming no setbacks, Falcons HC Kevin Stefanski told reporters on Wednesday. |

Browns | Quinshon Judkins walking around locker room without a boot Wed Oct 14, 11:55 AM
Browns RB Quinshon Judkins (ankle) was walking around the locker room without a boot ahead of practice on Wednesday. Judkins left the stadium in a right walking boot after Sunday's loss to the Jets, and head coach Todd Monken called him "day-to-day" on Monday.
| Footballguys view: A day-to-day designation means Judkins could be closer to playing than some think. However, he might have to miss Week 6 against the Ravens. If that's the case, Jaleel McLaughlin would be in line to be the top back for the Browns. Let's see what Judkins can do on Friday. We see McLaughlin as an RB5/deep flex play if Judkins can't play in Week 6. |

KC Concepcion Jr. 'progressing very well,' set to practice Wednesday Wed Oct 14, 11:52 AM
Browns rookie WR KC Concepcion Jr. (concussion) is "progressing very well" and is set to practice on Wednesday. Concepcion was knocked out cold by a helmet-to-helmet hit from Jets S Minkah Fitzpatrick in Sunday's loss and was placed in the concussion protocol.
| Footballguys view: Concepcion has to work his way through the league's concussion protocol. If he plays against the Ravens, we like the rookie as a deep flex play in Week 6. |

Browns | Shedeur Sanders hires an agent while stuck behind Deshaun Watson Wed Oct 14, 11:25 AM
Browns QB Shedeur Sanders has hired an agent, ESPN's Adam Schefter reported. Sanders is the backup behind starting QB Deshaun Watson. WR Marvin Harrison Jr. hired a pair of agents last month to seek and facilitate a trade and has since been dealt from the Cardinals to the Texans. Earlier this month, the Browns were reported to "welcome a deal at the right price" for Sanders or QB Dillon Gabriel.
| Footballguys view: Even though he fell to the fifth round a year ago, there should be teams interested in Sanders. The Ravens did like him before the draft, so perhaps he could go there and learn behind Lamar Jackson. Sanders has talent as a passer, but so long as Watson is playing good ball, he won't get an opportunity to showcase his talent. We'll see if someone like the idea of adding Sanders as a developmental prospect. |

Buccaneers | Baker Mayfield to test thumb grip Wednesday, Jalon Daniels expected to start vs. Steelers Wed Oct 14, 09:08 AM
Buccaneers QB Baker Mayfield (thumb) is expected to test his ability to grip and throw the football on Wednesday, though whether he can do so effectively is still to be determined.

Bears | Montez Sweat suspended two games Tue Oct 13, 04:32 PM
The NFL announced on Tuesday that Bears defensive end Montez Sweat is suspended without pay for two games for violating the NFL policy on performance-enhancing substances.
| Footballguys view: Sweat will miss Sunday's game against the Falcons and the following Thursday night game against the Patriots. He will then be eligible to return Week 8 against the Seahawks on Monday Night Football. The 30-year-old Sweat, who arrived in Chicago via trade from Washington during the 2023 season, has started all five games and played 69 percent of the Bears' defensive snaps this season. He has two sacks. |

Raheim Sanders to injured reserve with hip injury, Browns sign Audric Estimé Tue Oct 13, 04:28 PM
The Browns placed RB Raheim Sanders (hip) on injured reserve on Tuesday and signed RB Audric Estimé to the active roster from the Vikings' practice squad.
| Footballguys view: Sanders sustained the hip injury in Sunday's loss to the Jets; he has appeared in all five games this season. Estimé, a third-year player and 2024 fifth-round pick of the Broncos, has appeared in 20 career games with Denver and New Orleans, totaling 122 carries for 508 yards and three touchdowns, plus 17 receptions for 130 yards. Remember, with Quinshon Judkins dealing with an ankle issue and Dylan Sampson out with a knee injury, Jaleel McLaughlin and Estimé are the only healthy backs on the roster. We'll be watching Judkins' progress closely when Cleveland begins practicing on Wednesday. |

Rams | PK Harrison Mevis released; Blake Grupe signed Tue Oct 13, 03:49 PM
The Rams are releasing kicker Harrison Mevis and signing Blake Grupe off the New York Jets' practice squad, sources told NFL Network's Ian Rapoport and Mike Garafolo on Tuesday.
| Footballguys view: Mevis missed a 50-yard field goal attempt in the first quarter and had a 48-yard kick blocked in overtime that would have been the winner in Monday night's 37-34 loss to the Bills. After the game, Rams coach Sean McVay said he would "evaluate everything" about the kicking unit. Mevis was 5-for-9 on field goal attempts this season. Grupe started last season with the New Orleans Saints, going 18 of 26 on field goal attempts. After he was cut during the season, he signed with the Indianapolis Colts and made all 11 of his field goal attempts. |

Vikings | Jauan Jennings' trade market 'expected to heat up' after Harrison Jr. deal Tue Oct 13, 01:57 PM
Vikings WR Jauan Jennings is another receiver whose trade market is expected to heat up in the wake of the Marvin Harrison Jr. trade, it was reported on The Pat McAfee Show on Tuesday. A reunion with the 49ers was floated as a possibility.
| Footballguys view: A seventh-round pick in 2020, Jennings gradually turned himself into a contributor for the 49ers. Jennings' best season came in 2024 when he caught 77 passes for 975 yards and six touchdowns, as a slew of injuries essentially forced him to be the team's No. 1 wide receiver. The Vikings signed Jennings with the hope that he could work as an effective secondary target behind Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison. And yet, even with both guys missing time because of injuries, Jennings has just two catches for nine yards so far this year. Stay tuned. |

Giants didn't trade for McCarthy to supplant Winston or Dart; Dart 'long-term guy' Tue Oct 13, 01:32 PM
The Giants did not trade for QB J.J. McCarthy with the intention of supplanting QB Jameis Winston or QB Jaxson Dart, NFL insider Jordan Schultz said on Tuesday. Schultz said Dart remains the team's long-term quarterback.
| Footballguys view: McCarthy, according to Schultz, is additional insurance in case the injury bug hits the Giants' quarterback room again. However, the league insider acknowledged that if the wheels fall off on the Giants offense with Winston under center, things could change. For now, the Giants are simply evaluating what they have in McCarthy, who has a positive relationship with OC Matt Nagy. |

Vikings | Solak: Jordan Mason's 'impending return' shouldn't be underrated Tue Oct 13, 01:00 PM
ESPN's Ben Solak wrote on Tuesday that the impending return of Vikings RB Jordan Mason, described as a co-starting running back, should not be underrated.
| Footballguys view: Solak said the Vikings "want to do so much more in the designed running game with Murray and in the power play-action game with Mason as a bruising back." Aaron Jones Sr. has been impressive in Mason's absence, but it's fair to wonder if the workload he's seen the last three weeks is sustainable. Minnesota is on its bye in Week 6 and resumes play in Week 7. Proactive fantasy managers should be checking Mason's availability in their leagues. |

Bengals | Tanner Hudson suffers torn pec, likely out for the season Tue Oct 13, 11:49 AM
Bengals TE Tanner Hudson suffered a torn pectoral and will likely be out for the season, his agent told ESPN on Tuesday. Hudson has been a big receiving option for QB Joe Burrow and caught a touchdown in Sunday's win over the Dolphins.
| Footballguys view: Hudson suffered the injury while trying to make a tackle on special teams in Cincinnati's 31-24 victory in Week 5. Earlier in the game, he had three catches for 14 yards and a touchdown reception. Cincinnati's other reserve tight end options include Erick All Jr. and Jack Endries, a seventh-round pick in this year's draft who has been inactive in three of the team's five games this season. |

Malik Willis 'not seen throwing' at Dolphins bye-week practice Tue Oct 13, 10:53 AM
Dolphins QB Malik Willis was not seen throwing at the team's bye-week practice on Tuesday.
| Footballguys view: Willis took snaps and handoffs and performed an easy throwing motion with the ball in hand without releasing it. The bye-week day of drills is largely meant for players who have had limited playing time, so the fact that he's on the field is worth noting. That's especially true after coach Jeff Hafley gave the QB a vote of confidence when asked about Willis' job security on Monday. |
