Bills | Bills elevate WR Trent Sherfield with DJ Moore questionable Monday night Mon Oct 12, 04:52 PM
The Bills elevated WR Trent Sherfield from their practice squad on Monday with WR DJ Moore listed as questionable for Monday night's game against the Rams. Moore has been dealing with a shoulder injury and returned to the practice field Saturday after missing two sessions.

Packers WR Skyy Moore's ankle injury might keep him out "for a little bit," but it is not season-ending, head coach Matt LaFleur said on Monday. Moore was ruled out of Sunday's win over the Bears with the ankle injury and was later seen in a walking boot.
| Footballguys view: With Moore out, 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. Williams could return soon, but Christian Watson, Matthew Golden, and Tucker Kraft will continue to dominate the targets regardless of who the WR3 is. |

49ers WR Deebo Samuel Sr. is expected to miss "at least a couple of weeks" with the hamstring injury he suffered Sunday in Seattle, head coach Kyle Shanahan told reporters on Monday. Samuel is one of several injured 49ers receivers, with Ricky Pearsall out for the season and De'Zhaun Stribling out at least 10 weeks, while Christian Kirk and Demarcus Robinson remain on injured reserve.
| Footballguys view: Samuel left Sunday's win over the Seahawks and did not return, and was set to undergo an MRI on Monday. With Samuel out, the team leaned heavily on Mike Evans, who dominated Seattle's defense in the fourth quarter. Assuming an extended absence for Samuel, the team will need Jacob Cowing, Brandin Cooks, and Jordan Watkins to move up in the rotation behind Evans. |

Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni said on Monday that he is "hopeful" WR DeVonta Smith (hamstring) can return this week.
| Footballguys view: Not surprisingly, Sirianni did not want to commit to anything early in the week. Smith missed Sunday's game against the Jaguars. Smith was making an impact as the No. 1 target for Philadelphia and as a playmaker Jalen Hurts could rely on. Smith had 235 receiving yards before his injury in Week 4, a team high. His absence has been a significant blow to the Eagles' offense. We'll be watching his progress again this week. |

Saints rookie WR Jordyn Tyson will not practice this week, head coach Kellen Moore said on Monday. Tyson is on injured reserve and was previously described as 'weeks away' from a return, with Week 7 the earliest target.
| Footballguys view: With Tyson sidelined, Devaughn Vele has emerged as a legitimate fantasy play. Vele is currently the WR22 overall with an average of 12.4 points per game. Expect Vele to remain viable for our purposes until Tyson returns. |

Panthers head coach Dave Canales said on Monday that WR Jalen Coker (quad) is "on track" but has a couple of big days of practice ahead of him this week.
| Footballguys view: Carolina visits the Eagles on Sunday in Week 6. Coker was considered unlikely to play against the Lions before sitting out Week 4 due to the quad injury. His absence wasn't a huge factor against the Lions, but getting Coker back this week would be a huge plus for Bryce Young and the passing attack. |

49ers WR Deebo Samuel Sr. will have an MRI on his hamstring. Samuel was ruled out of Sunday's win over the Seahawks with the hamstring injury after catching two passes for 21 yards. Rapoport described it as "another injury to another standout WR" for San Francisco.
| Footballguys view: Rapoport went on to suggest that the fact that the 49ers ruled Samuel out of Sunday's game immediately isn't a good sign. If Samuel ends up sitting out Week 6 against the Commanders next Monday, the 49ers would be left with Mike Evans, Brandin Cooks, Jacob Cowing, and Jordan Watkins as their healthy options at receiver. |

Browns WR Isaiah Bond played as the WR3 in Sunday's 17-12 loss to the Jets but stepped into WR KC Concepcion's role after Concepcion's injury. Bond tied for the team lead with seven targets. WR Jerry Jeudy played as the WR2.
| Footballguys view: Bond, who entered the game with two catches on two targets, caught three passes for a team-high 74 yards. He also had a critical drop late in the game. Still, if Concepcion doesn't clear the protocol in time to play against the Ravens on Sunday, Bond will likely be busy again. |
Isaiah Bond player page
Steelers WR Roman Wilson is expected to miss a couple of weeks due to a finger injury suffered on Sunday against the Colts. Wilson is still gathering information on the injury and seeking a second opinion. He was ruled out of Sunday's game after suffering the injury and finished without a catch.
| Footballguys view: With Michael Pittman Jr. on IR, Wilson's injury will open the door to more playing time for rookie Germie Bernard, who gained Aaron Rodgers' confidence during the week leading up to this game with his command of the details of the offense, and he showed that he can be a load-bearing part of this passing game. Bernard is worth a pickup, especially in PPR leagues, but his ceiling is relatively low, so don't spend too much on him. |
Roman Wilson player page
Patriots WR Efton Chism III played a career-high 57 offensive snaps against the Raiders on Sunday as the top replacement for injured WR Mack Hollins.
| Footballguys view: New England ran 75 offensive snaps, one week after running 76, well above its 2025 average of 68.5, and Drake Maye had another "lights out" game. But beyond all that, Chism delivered five receptions and 57 yards on six targets (a team high) against the Raiders. While A.J. Brown will return at some point soon, receivers like Chism, DeMario Douglas, and Kyle Williams will continue to get opportunities. |

The Cardinals traded WR Marvin Harrison Jr. to the Texans around kickoff of Sunday's 45-21 loss to the Lions, receiving second- and sixth-round picks while Houston got Harrison and a sixth-round pick. "I just thought it was in the best interest of this club. I'm not going to totally get into that right now. I really like Marvin Harrison. He's a good person. I wish him well," Cardinals head coach Mike LaFleur said after the game, adding, "I'm going to keep the details tight with us."
| Footballguys view: Harrison had five receptions for 85 yards and a touchdown on 13 targets in four games this season and reunites with his former college quarterback, C.J. Stroud, in Houston. Cardinals WR Jalen Brooks is being penciled in at Harrison's 'X' receiver spot in Arizona. |

Atlanta Falcons WR Drake London caught 7 passes for 118 yards on 11 targets in Sunday's 30-23 loss to the Baltimore Ravens. He was projected for 15.2 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 15.3.

San Francisco 49ers WR Deebo Samuel Sr. ran 2 times for 4 yards, also caught 2 passes for 21 yards on 3 targets and lost 1 fumble in Sunday's 32-29 win over the Seattle Seahawks. He was projected for 10.0 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 1.5.
| Footballguys view: Samuel was ruled out of the game in the third quarter with a hamstring injury after he stepped awkwardly when trying to get around the corner. Wide receiver Jacob Cowing was also slowed by an ankle injury, leaving the team with Mke Evans, Brandin Cooks, and Jordan Watkins as the only healthy wide receivers on the field for the rest of the game. The 49ers have a Week 8 bye. Don't be surprised if Samuel is out at least until Week 9. |

Seattle Seahawks WR Jaxon Smith-Njigba ran 1 time for 16 yards and also caught 5 passes for 102 yards and a touchdown on 8 targets in Sunday's 32-29 loss to the San Francisco 49ers. He was projected for 19.3 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 20.3.
| Footballguys view: Smith-Njigba took himself out of the game in the first quarter after taking a hard fall following a catch. He appeared to roll his ankle on the play and returned to action with the ankle heavily wrapped. It didn't appear to slow him down as he surpassed 100 receiving yards for the fourth time in five games. But Smith-Njigba's status will be worth watching this week. The Seahawks have a short turnaround to a Thursday night game against the Broncos. |
Jaxon Smith-Njigba player page
San Francisco 49ers WR Mike Evans caught 7 passes for 113 yards and a touchdown on 10 targets in Sunday's 32-29 win over the Seattle Seahawks. He was projected for 10.2 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 20.8.
| Footballguys view: With Deebo Samuel (hamstring) sidelined and Jacob Cowing missing time with an ankle injury, it was Brock Purdy and Evans who moved the ball in the fourth quarter to secure the victory over Seattle. As NFL.com suggested, "Evans was Mr. Clutch." The big-bodied receiver repeatedly found himself the target of Purdy passes, with five of those catches coming on tight windows (less than one yard of separation), per Next Gen Stats. No other Niners player had more than 24 yards receiving. Evans is a dangerous threat paired with Purdy. Expect more of the same against the Commanders on Monday night in Week 6. |
Mike Evans player page
Los Angeles Chargers WR Tre Harris caught 2 passes for 16 yards on 4 targets in Sunday's 23-17 loss to the Denver Broncos. He was projected for 9.9 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 2.6.
| Footballguys view: Harris suffered a hamstring injury during the third quarter and did not return to the game. The team was already struggling at the position. 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. With a Week 6 game against the Chiefs coming, veteran Marquez Valdes-Scantling, return specialist Derius Davis, and tight ends Oronde Gadsden, Charlie Kolar, and Hayden Rucci, who scored on a 7-yard catch in the third quarter, will have to help fill the void. |

Ravens WR Zay Flowers is officially active for Sunday night's game at the Falcons. Flowers had been listed as questionable with a foot injury after returning to practice on Thursday.

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. |

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. |

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. |

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. |
Malik Nabers player page
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. |
KC Concepcion Jr. player page
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. |

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
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
Pittsburgh Steelers WR Germie Bernard ran 1 time for 4 yards and also caught 6 passes for 80 yards on 9 targets in Sunday's 34-22 win over the Indianapolis Colts. He was projected for 2.7 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 11.4.
| Footballguys view: Bernard gained Aaron Rodgers' confidence during the week leading up to this game with his mastery of the details of the offense, and he showed that he can be a load-bearing part of this passing game with Michael Pittman Jr. (foot) on injured reserve and Roman Wilson leaving this contest with a finger injury. Bernard is worth a pickup, especially in PPR leagues, but his ceiling is relatively low so don't spend too much on him. |

New England Patriots WR Romeo Doubs caught 1 pass for 16 yards on 3 targets in Sunday's 45-17 win over the Las Vegas Raiders. He was projected for 10.5 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 2.1.
| Footballguys view: Doubs scored twice last week, but somehow was barely involved on an afternoon that saw the Patriots score 45 points. Drake Maye is playing so well that you have to consider keeping Doubs in as a WR3/Flex against the Jets suspect pass defense next week, but once A.J. Brown is back, Doubs might not be worth a roster spot in typical leagues. He's not an essential hold in short bench leagues after the scramble to pick him up coming into this game. |
Romeo Doubs player page
New England Patriots WR DeMario Douglas caught 4 passes for 65 yards and two touchdowns on 5 targets in Sunday's 45-17 win over the Las Vegas Raiders. He was projected for 5.9 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 20.5.
| Footballguys view: Douglas had a long touchdown on a busted coverage to open the scoring and he closed the scoring with a short touchdown to get the Patriots offense into the 40s on an ideal day for them. He's not more than a what-the-heck flex off of the waiver wire against the Jets next week, but Douglas's ability to make plays as a complementary receiver will help Drake Maye's value until A.J. Brown is ready to return in a few weeks. |
DeMario Douglas player page
Green Bay Packers WR Christian Watson caught 6 passes for 143 yards and two touchdowns on 8 targets in Sunday's 31-7 win over the Chicago Bears. He was projected for 12.0 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 29.3.
| Footballguys view: Watson had one easy long touchdown and one that took an exceptional concentration play to make with a defender in his face. Jordan Love's deep ball is one of the best in the league, and the chemistry he has with Watson is undeniable. If we were drafting today, Watson would be worth a first-round pick with the woeful Cowboys pass defense up in Week 6. |
Christian Watson player page
Green Bay Packers WR Matthew Golden caught 6 passes for 123 yards on 7 targets in Sunday's 31-7 win over the Chicago Bears. He was projected for 12.5 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 15.3.
| Footballguys view: The Packers pass offense was quiet in an ugly win over Tampa Bay last week, but it came alive against the Bears ragtag secondary in Week 5. Golden has been everything the Packers hoped he would be after they took him in the first round last year and allowed Romeo Doubs to walk in free agency, making him a starter. He's a high ceiling WR3/Flex who might be a strong WR2 if the Packers offensive line holds up the way they did in this blowout win. |
Matthew Golden player page
Houston Texans WR Jaylin Noel ran 1 time for 1 yard and also caught 5 passes for 41 yards and a touchdown on 5 targets in Sunday's 26-3 win over the Tennessee Titans. He was projected for 5.9 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 12.7.
| Footballguys view: The Texans' acquisition of Marvin Harrison Jr. was announced after this game, so Noel's target share is unlikely to go up, but he has been making plays big and small for this offense to help take some heat off of C.J. Stroud and Nico Collins. We'll keep him on our waiver wire watch list with this offense going through Stroud with the running game stuck in neutral and David Montgomery leaving this game with a groin injury. |
Jaylin Noel player page
Tennessee Titans WR Carnell Tate caught 1 pass for 6 yards on 5 targets in Sunday's 26-3 loss to the Houston Texans. He was projected for 11.3 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 1.1.
| Footballguys view: Tate came into this game questionable with a back issue. Even though the Texans pass defense has been shredded by the likes of Josh Allen and Dak Prescott this season, Cam Ward was not up to matching their intensity in Week 5, so Tate was a bust. The Colts defense is up next. While they have had some breakdowns in coverage this season, Tate won't be a viable WR3/Flex play unless we see him get in a full practice and get off of the injury report next week. He's not an essential hold in short bench leagues. |
Carnell Tate player page
Steelers WR Roman Wilson is out during Sunday's game against the Colts, and WR Ben Skowronek is also out. That leaves Pittsburgh with four wide receivers: DK Metcalf, Germie Bernard, Brandon Smith and Kaden Wetjen.
| Footballguys view: Wilson was a deep sleeper this week with Michael Pittman Jr. (foot) on injured reserve. He had caught touchdowns in each of the last two games, and Aaron Rodgers threw three more scores against the Colts, but none to Wilson as he left the game with a finger injury. Rookie second-round pick Germie Bernard posted 6-80 in this game will play a big role in the passing until Wilson and Pittman are healthy. Pat Freiermuth also becomes a quality pickup after a five-catch, two-touchdown game in the win. |
Roman Wilson player page
Chargers WR Ladd McConkey (foot) is active for Sunday's game against the Broncos but is not expected to play meaningful snaps. McConkey was listed as questionable after missing practice during the week, and he had been reported as not expected to play earlier Sunday.

Browns rookie WR KC Concepcion Jr. has been ruled out of Sunday's game against the Jets with a head injury. Concepcion suffered the injury on a "huge blow" from Jets S Minkah Fitzpatrick in the first quarter.
| Footballguys view: Isaiah Bond has replaced Concepcion in the lineup. Fitzpatrick already had committed a face mask on the drive that he hurt Concepcion, which led to a Browns field goal. The Browns face the Ravens next week and may have to play without their first round pick wide receiver. |
KC Concepcion Jr. player page
Jacksonville Jaguars WR Parker Washington caught 6 passes for 124 yards and two touchdowns on 9 targets in Sunday's 19-17 win over the Philadelphia Eagles. He was projected for 11.9 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 27.4.
| Footballguys view: Washington scored once on a long catch and run and then made a one-handed touchdown catch on fourth down late in the fourth quarter. He is making himself money on his next contract every week, and he came through for fantasy teams after a quiet couple of weeks. This game reminded us that Washington's ceiling is too high to bench him, including against the Texans next week. |
Parker Washington player page
Philadelphia Eagles WR Darius Cooper caught 2 passes for 71 yards and a touchdown on 3 targets in Sunday's 19-17 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. He was projected for 5.5 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 14.1.

Bengals WR Tee Higgins is active for Sunday's game against the Dolphins despite an adductor/groin injury. Higgins said "I'm good" while in full sweat during pregame warmups, but the Bengals will keep an eye on his snaps and he will play mostly "meaningful plays." The extreme heat in Miami is also expected to play a role in his workload.

Commanders WR Terry McLaurin will be active for Sunday's game against the Giants. McLaurin is "likely not a full go but suited up and ready to play." He had been listed as questionable and was considered a game-time decision earlier Sunday.

Bengals WR Tee Higgins, listed as questionable, will play Sunday against the Dolphins, ESPN's Adam Schefter reported. Higgins was working with assistant coach Troy Walters before the game, doing his "usual pre-game routine."

Titans rookie WR Carnell Tate (back) is "definitely trending" toward playing in Sunday's game against the Texans, per a source. Tate is listed as questionable after being limited in Thursday's practice. Head coach Robert Saleh said on Friday that Tate was "good to go" for Sunday.

Commanders WR Terry McLaurin is a "true game-time decision" for Sunday's Week 5 game against the Giants. Even if McLaurin plays, his snaps are expected to be limited. Head coach Dan Quinn said the wet field and rainy conditions won't be a factor in the decision, and John Keim reported a "slight lean to playing."
