49ers WR Deebo Samuel Sr. has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Seahawks with a hamstring injury. Samuel had been getting his right hamstring worked on along the sideline earlier in the game.
| Footballguys view: Samuel had been a big part of the 49ers offense after injuries forced the team to re-sign him during camp and then pushed him into a central role during the season. The 49ers play Washington on Monday night next week, but we don't expect Samuel to be available. The 49ers have a Week 8 bye, so we may not see Samuel until Week 9 - if he can avoid injured reserve. |

49ers WR Deebo Samuel Sr. was on his feet and walking off the field "very gingerly" after going down in Sunday's game against the Seahawks. Samuel had been getting a lot of attention to his right hamstring in the first half.

Eagles RB Saquon Barkley is considered week-to-week with a hamstring injury. Barkley was one of six Eagles players inactive due to injury for Sunday's Week 5 loss to the Jaguars in London after he was ruled out on Friday. Philadelphia is also without RB Tank Bigsby, who was placed on injured reserve to recover from core muscle surgery.

Chargers WR Tre' Harris is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Broncos due to a hamstring injury.
| Footballguys view: Harris didn't return and finished the game with two catches for 16 yards on four targets. Quentin Johnston was out with a chest injury and Ladd McConkey was active, but only because the team has too many injured players for their inactive spots. The Chargers passing game is in shambles heading into a rough road game at Arrowhead Stadium. Harris can be dropped if you picked him up because of the opportunity he was going to have as the team's leading receiver this week. |

Browns RB Quinshon Judkins left Sunday's loss to the Jets in a right walking boot. No details on the nature of the injury were provided.
| Footballguys view: Backup running back Raheim Sanders suffered a hip injury in this game. Jaleel McLaughlin is the only other running back on the active roster, but the team does have Jaret Patterson on the practice squad. Dylan Sampson is eligible to come off injured reserve after being placed there following Week 1 due to a knee injury, but he was expected to miss significant time and won't be back for Week 6. Look for the Browns to make a move at running back if they are worried about Judkins' availability in the near future. |

Raiders rookie QB Fernando Mendoza made his NFL debut on Sunday, leading the final drive of a 45-17 loss to the Patriots and completing 6 of 8 passes for 48 yards. The No. 1 overall pick completed his first five passes to move the Raiders into the red zone before the drive ended on a turnover on downs when he scrambled short of the line to gain on fourth-and-5. Head coach Klint Kubiak said after the game that he "wanted to get him some exposure," adding, "He did a good job. All reps are valuable. Very important for him." QB Kirk Cousins remains the starter, Kubiak confirmed.

Lions WR Tom Kennedy suffered a knee injury on a punt return in the first half of Sunday's game against the Cardinals when his foot caught in the ground and his body bent awkwardly. Kennedy initially walked to the sideline and was treated in the blue tent, but he was eventually carted to the locker room. The Lions listed him as questionable to return. WR Amon-Ra St. Brown handled the next punt return and fumbled, but Detroit recovered.

Packers WR Skyy Moore went down with an injury in Sunday's win over the Bears and was seen wearing a walking boot after the game.
| Footballguys view: WR Bo Melton took over the slot role, making him the third receiver to play that role for the Packers after Moore went down. WR Jayden Reed (still on IR) and Savion Williams were previously ruled out. WR J. Michael Sturdivant saw the vast majority of his snaps on Sunday as an outside receiver. |

Packers RB Kaleb Johnson did not play a single offensive snap in the first half of Sunday's 31-7 win over the Bears, with most of his action coming late in garbage time. RB MarShawn Lloyd out-snapped Johnson, who led the Packers in rushing last week, and RB Pierre Strong Jr., fresh off his practice squad promotion, also displaced Johnson in the rotation.

Ravens QB Tyler Huntley is starting Sunday night's game against the Falcons at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. Lamar Jackson was ruled out on Friday with an ankle injury. Sunday's matchup "probably needs to be a Derrick Henry game," though the Falcons have the top run defense in football.

Washington Commanders QB Jayden Daniels completed 17 of 25 passes for 199 yards and ran 9 times for 103 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 27-27 tie with the New York Giants. He was projected for 18.2 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 30.3.
| Footballguys view: Daniels broke free for two long touchdown runs to reward any fantasy teams that decided to play him even though the game was forecast to be wet and his #1 receiver Terry McLaurin was a game-time decision. This was a worry because Daniels was wearing a brace on his injured left elbow and concern that he could re-injure the problem joint. He'll face a resurgent 49ers defense on Monday in Week 6 as a boom/bust QB1. |
Jayden Daniels player page
New York Giants TE Isaiah Likely caught 11 passes for 94 yards and two touchdowns on 13 targets in Sunday's 27-27 tie with the Washington Commanders. He was projected for 9.8 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 26.9.
| Footballguys view: Likely was the clear focus of the game plan as a short range target in a callback to Week 1 when he posted an 8-78-2 line against the Cowboys. This could be a week to remember for other reasons if you have Likely, however, because he limped off late in the game. We'll be watching the practice reports to see what Likely's status will be for a Week 6 home game against the Saints. |
Isaiah Likely player page
New York Giants QB Jameis Winston completed 33 of 54 passes for 326 yards with 3 touchdowns, ran 5 times for 27 yards and lost 1 fumble in Sunday's 27-27 tie with the Washington Commanders. He was projected for 13.0 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 25.7.
| Footballguys view: Winston made multiple questionable decisions to help put the Giants in a 14-point fourth quarter hole, and then in typical fashion, he got the team all the way back with two scores to send the game to overtime. He probably would have gotten the win if Cam Skattebo hadn't fumbled in field goal range, but Jayden Daniels 'gaffe failing to stop the clock in field goal range with no timeouts left kept him from getting the loss. Winston is the quarterback of a first-place team heading into a Week 6 game against the Saints. He's worth a streaming QB1 look if you need someone from the wire to cover Joe Burrow or Jared Goff's bye next week. |
Jameis Winston player page
New York Giants WR Malik Nabers caught 11 passes for 121 yards and a touchdown on 20 targets in Sunday's 27-27 tie with the Washington Commanders. He was projected for 12.1 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 23.6.
| Footballguys view: Nabers hadn't put up much in the box score until Jameis Winston authored a pair of long touchdown drives to erase a 14-point deficit in the fourth quarter. He was a big part of that effort and could have an even bigger target share next week against the Saints if Isaiah Likely is hurt after he limped off of the field late in this game. As long as Winston isn't benched for J.J. McCarthy, Nabers is back on track to have a big season with Winston's freewheeling style at the center of the offense. |

Browns WR KC Concepcion Jr. is in the concussion protocol after taking a helmet-to-helmet hit from Minkah Fitzpatrick and slamming his head on the turf on Sunday.
| Footballguys view: Concepcion did not return to the game. Head coach Todd Monken said of the hit: "That's just a bang-bang play. Minkah has been in this league a long time. He's not a dirty player." Concepcion will have to go through the concussion protocol before he's cleared to play the Ravens in Week 6. |

Saints QB Tyler Shough was asked after Sunday's 23-13 loss to the Vikings whether his left hand was broken and said he wasn't sure he could answer that, but that it's banged up.
| Footballguys view: Shough was upgraded to full practice on Thursday after dealing with the left-hand injury earlier in the week. He was blitzed on 91% of his dropbacks in the first half and threw two picks. He completed 16 of 25 passes for 96 yards -- for a 38.1 passer rating -- in a game that would have been a blowout if not for the Saints' own defensive turnovers. Shough and the Saints will try to regroup against the Giants in Week 6. |

Packers DT Javon Hargrave appears to have suffered a serious injury in Sunday's win over the Bears. "It doesn't look good," head coach Matt LaFleur said after the game, adding that the "early indications look like an Achilles" injury.

The Texans have acquired WR Marvin Harrison Jr. from the Cardinals, with Texans head coach DeMeco Ryans addressing the trade on Sunday. Per sources, the deal involves a 2027 second-round pick and a 2027 sixth-round pick, with the Cardinals getting a 2027 seventh-round pick. Harrison is a third-year player and a former No. 4 overall pick.
| Footballguys view: The Texans are clearly retrenching their offense around C.J. Stroud. They have made two trades to replace up-and-coming 2025 second-round pick Jayden Higgins, who went down with an ACL injury before the season. Harrison should be used as a "sacrificial X receiver" to hopefully allow Nico Collins to move around the formation and move the Texans pass offense into the 21st century. Kendrick Bourne will replace Harrison in the Cardinals lineup, but he is only worth a look in deep PPR leagues. Harrison still isn't worth carrying in typical redraft leagues, but he does bolster Stroud's value. The Cardinals have to be happy with the return they got on yet another failed high first-round pick, but there has to be a change to break that pattern if this team is going to get out of the NFC West cellar. |

DeMeco Ryans confirmed on Sunday that his team has traded for WR Marvin Harrison Jr. Ryans was asked about Harrison several times and declined to answer twice before saying on the third question, "You guys want to know, yes we traded for Marvin Harrison," Jon Alexander reported. The Cardinals were reported on Saturday to be finalizing a deal to trade Harrison, with the Texans 'square in the mix.'

49ers WR Jordan Watkins was in the starting offense for Sunday's Week 5 game at the Seahawks. He started at receiver alongside WRs Mike Evans and Deebo Samuel Sr. The rest of the starting skill group was QB Brock Purdy, RB Christian McCaffrey and TE George Kittle.

Texans head coach DeMeco Ryans confirmed on Sunday that Houston has acquired WR Marvin Harrison Jr. from the Cardinals.

New York Jets WR Garrett Wilson caught 7 passes for 104 yards and a touchdown on 11 targets in Sunday's 17-12 win over the Cleveland Browns. He was projected for 14.0 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 19.9.
| Footballguys view: Wilson had three catches for 70 yards and a score on the first drive of the game, but was quiet from there on out. Adonai Mitchell should be back soon from his finger injury to take some of Wilson's target share away, but that could also draw coverage in the deep passing game. Wilson is a solid WR2 play next week against a banged-up Patriots secondary whether or not Mitchell is back in the lineup. |
Garrett Wilson player page
New York Jets RB Braelon Allen ran 24 times for 116 yards and a touchdown and also caught 1 pass for 0 yards on 4 targets in Sunday's 17-12 win over the Cleveland Browns. He was projected for 14.1 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 18.1.
| Footballguys view: The Jets stuck with Allen as a clear lead back and he rewarded them with the game-winning touchdown. Breece Hall should be back in the next few weeks, but Allen's performance will allow them to not rush Hall back from his quad injury. We'll watch Hall's practice status heading into a matchup at New England, but expect Allen to start and be a suitable RB2/Flex for fantasy teams in Week 6. |

Cleveland Browns TE Harold Fannin Jr. caught 1 pass for 4 yards on 4 targets in Sunday's 17-12 loss to the New York Jets. He was projected for 8.7 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 0.9.
| Footballguys view: Fannin was emerging as Deshaun Watson's favorite red zone target with three touchdowns in Weeks 3-4, but he was a dud on a rainy day in New Jersey. He's still worth carrying in fantasy leagues, but the nature of playing with Watson in this low wattage offense will keep his floor low and ceiling touchdown-dependent heading into a matchup with the Ravens. |
Harold Fannin Jr. player page
Cleveland Browns WR KC Concepcion caught 1 pass for 5 yards on 1 target in Sunday's 17-12 loss to the New York Jets. He was projected for 9.1 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 1.0.

Cincinnati Bengals WR Tee Higgins caught 2 passes for 22 yards on 4 targets in Sunday's 31-24 win over the Miami Dolphins. He was projected for 11.2 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 3.2.
| Footballguys view: Higgins was not a sure thing to play after leaving Week 4's game with an adductor injury. He rallied to be active for this game even though the Bengals bye is next week. It won't be much solace if you played Higgins this week, but he should be close to healthy again after the bye and safe to put in lineups as an upside WR3/Flex, which is still not quite the WR2 you were expecting when you took him in the 3rd or early 4th round of fantasy drafts. |
Tee Higgins player page
Cincinnati Bengals QB Joe Burrow completed 23 of 32 passes for 190 yards with 4 touchdowns in Sunday's 31-24 win over the Miami Dolphins. He was projected for 19.2 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 24.6.
| Footballguys view: Burrow had a big afternoon in fantasy leagues even though Tee Higgins was a nonfactor and Ja'Marr Chase only had one big play and that ball bounced off of his body before he corralled it for a long score. The Dolphins pass defense continues to be one we will pick on when we set fantasy lineups as both of these teams go into their bye. |

Cincinnati Bengals RB Samaje Perine ran 14 times for 68 yards and also caught 2 passes for 10 yards and a touchdown on 2 targets in Sunday's 31-24 win over the Miami Dolphins. He was projected for 4.0 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 14.8.
Link to storySamaje Perine player page
Cincinnati Bengals RB Chase Brown ran 13 times for 39 yards, also caught 3 passes for 21 yards on 4 targets and lost 1 fumble in Sunday's 31-24 win over the Miami Dolphins. He was projected for 15.9 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 5.5. Samaje Perine had 14 carries for 68 yards and caught both of his targets for 10 receiving yards. Perine was the primary back on a fourth-quarter drive with the Bengals up 28-18.
| Footballguys view: Samaje Perine outplayed Brown and got a lot more work down the stretch in this game. We'll be watching the coaching staff comments closely, although we don't expect Perine to force a committee on this result alone going into a bye. It's tough to carry Perine through the bye in short bench leagues, but the quality of this offense makes him worth an add and carrying through the week off in longer bench leagues. |
Chase Brown player page
Miami Dolphins WR Kevin Coleman Jr. caught 3 passes for 30 yards and a touchdown on 7 targets in Sunday's 31-24 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals. He was projected for 2.2 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 10.5.

Titans head coach Robert Saleh said on Sunday that QB Cam Ward is the team's quarterback this year. There is no thought of benching him. Saleh made the comments after Tennessee's 26-3 home loss to the Texans.

Pittsburgh Steelers TE Pat Freiermuth ran 1 time for 1 yard and also caught 5 passes for 44 yards and two touchdowns on 7 targets in Sunday's 34-22 win over the Indianapolis Colts. He was projected for 6.4 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 19.0.
| Footballguys view: Freiermuth scored twice with the Steelers wide receiver group missing the #2 and #3 options for most of this game. He'll be an add on the waiver wire for any teams that need a streaming TE1 to cover Sam LaPorta's bye or teams that haven't found a consistent tight end option for their lineup yet. |
Pat Freiermuth player page
Pittsburgh Steelers RB Jaylen Warren ran 15 times for 101 yards and a touchdown and also caught 6 passes for 87 yards and a touchdown on 6 targets in Sunday's 34-22 win over the Indianapolis Colts. He was projected for 16.2 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 33.8.
| Footballguys view: Warren is on track to be a league winner as an elite fantasy running back who fell to the mid-rounds because he started the season in a committee with Rico Dowdle, who has missed the last three games because of a toe injury. Warren will have a tough matchup against the stout Bucs run defense next week, but we'll have him ranked as a fantasy RB1 even if Dowdle is ready to return. |
Jaylen Warren player page
Indianapolis Colts TE Tyler Warren ran 1 time for 1 yard and a touchdown and also caught 7 passes for 83 yards on 9 targets in Sunday's 34-22 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. He was projected for 9.1 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 17.9.
| Footballguys view: Warren was clearly the #1 target for Daniel Jones in this game, and the team turned to him as a goal line ballcarrier on a tough afternoon for Jonathan Taylor. He is being used more as a downfield receiver and should be moving up the fantasy tight end ranks ahead of a matchup with the bottom-dwelling Titans. |
