  Bills | Joshua Palmer estimated limited at Wednesday walk-through    Wed Oct 14, 10:23 PM

Bills WR Joshua Palmer (shoulder) was listed as an estimated limited participant on Wednesday after the team held only a walk-through. Palmer was sidelined for Monday night's win over the Rams by what appeared to be a practice injury last week. Buffalo is expected to hold a full practice on Thursday ahead of Sunday's game at the Raiders.

  Colts | Alec Pierce out of cast but 'not close to a return' from IR    Wed Oct 14, 08:48 PM

Colts WR Alec Pierce was seen in the locker room on Wednesday no longer wearing a cast on his left ankle/heel, a sign of progress in his recovery. However, he did not appear to be close to a return. The earliest Pierce could come back from injured reserve is Week 7 at Minnesota.

  Cardinals | LaFleur: no offensive 'overhaul' without Harrison, Brooks and Virgil at X    Wed Oct 14, 08:35 PM

Cardinals head coach Mike LaFleur said on Wednesday that there won't be an offensive "overhaul or anything like that" with WR Marvin Harrison Jr. no longer on the team. LaFleur said the other receivers playing the X, namely WR Jalen Brooks and rookie WR Reggie Virgil, have a similar skillset to Harrison "in terms of what we're asking them to do."

  Bills | DJ Moore an estimated non-participant at Wednesday walk-through    Wed Oct 14, 07:20 PM

Bills WR DJ Moore was listed as an estimated non-participant at Wednesday's walk-through. Five other Bills players were estimated as limited on Wednesday's injury report.

Footballguys view: Moore was ruled out for Monday night's game against the Rams with a shoulder injury. Being a non-participant in a walk-through on Wednesday puts him on the wrong side of questionable. Let's see if Moore can at least be limited in Friday's practice at the latest, as the team prepares for a Sunday afternoon game against the Raiders.

  Chargers | Ladd McConkey limited at Wednesday practice ahead of Week 6    Wed Oct 14, 06:28 PM

Chargers WR Ladd McConkey (foot) was a limited participant in practice on Wednesday, the first injury report ahead of Sunday's Week 6 game at the Chiefs.

Footballguys view: McConkey was active against the Broncos on Sunday but was not expected to play meaningful snaps because of the foot injury. It seemed like he might be close to returning last week, and a limited participation on Wednesday is a good sign.

  Eagles | DeVonta Smith listed with toe injury in addition to hamstring    Wed Oct 14, 06:10 PM

  Seahawks | Jaxon Smith-Njigba 'good to go' for Thursday at Denver    Wed Oct 14, 06:00 PM

Seahawks WR Jaxon Smith-Njigba is good to go for Thursday's Week 6 game at the Broncos. RB Zach Charbonnet, LB Chazz Surratt and LB Drake Thomas are the only Seahawks ruled out, with everyone else, Smith-Njigba included, cleared to play.

Footballguys view: There's no Pat Surtain II on the other side of the field, so Smith-Njigba could have a field day. The surface could be wet as it's expected to rain before the contest on Thursday night. Even with a wet track, Smith-Njigba is always a set-it-and-forget-it WR1 for Fantasy GMs.

  Ravens | Zay Flowers off injury report for first time this season    Wed Oct 14, 04:58 PM

Ravens WR Zay Flowers was not listed on Baltimore's injury report on Wednesday, the first time all season he has not appeared on it.

Footballguys view: Flowers is fantastic when healthy, and he's back at full strength (or as close as you can get in the regular season). He had been dealing with a foot injury and was active for Sunday night's game at Atlanta. This week against the Browns, Flowers is a WR1 as per usual.

  Saints | Chris Olave among three Saints players 'sick' on Wednesday    Wed Oct 14, 04:26 PM

Saints WR Chris Olave was sick on Wednesday. DTs Nathan Shepherd and Vernon Broughton were also sick. Olave was limited in practice last Thursday with a foot injury and was seen in a walking boot, but head coach Kellen Moore said last Friday that he was "fine."

Footballguys view: The bad news is a trio of players is sick. The good news is it's just Wednesday, so there's plenty of time to get to feeling better. Olave caught 4-of-6 targets for 46 yards in the Saints' Week 5 loss to the Vikings. If out there against the Giants, Olave is a top-tier WR1 for Fantasy GMs in Week 6.

  Colts | Josh Downs limited Wednesday with hamstring injury and rest    Wed Oct 14, 04:18 PM

Colts WR Josh Downs was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice due to rest as well as a hamstring injury. Indianapolis hosts the Titans on Sunday.

Footballguys view: Rest and a hamstring.... maybe his hamstring just needed some rest. Whatever the main reason for his limitation, Downs needs to practice in full on Thursday or Friday for us to feel good recommending him as a WR3/flex option for Fantasy GMs in Week 6. Stay tuned.

  Steelers | Roman Wilson, Ben Skowronek ruled out for Week 6 at Buccaneers    Wed Oct 14, 04:00 PM

Steelers WR Roman Wilson (finger) and WR Ben Skowronek (calf) have both been ruled out for Sunday's game at the Buccaneers after suffering injuries in last week's win over the Colts. "Both receivers will not be available this week," head coach Mike McCarthy said, adding that as of now he expects it to be just one week: "That's what we have so far, yes." Both receivers did not practice on Wednesday, and the Steelers are also without WR Michael Pittman Jr., who is on injured reserve with a foot injury.

Panthers WR Jalen Coker (quadriceps) was listed as a full participant on Wednesday's injury report.

  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.

  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.

  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 | 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 | '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 | 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.

  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.

  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.

  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.

  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.

  Ravens | Chris Moore released as rookie Ja'Kobi Lane is due back from IR    Tue Oct 13, 04:04 PM

The Ravens announced on Tuesday that they have released WR Chris Moore from the 53-man roster. They also released WR Xavier Guillory from the practice squad. Baltimore is due to get back rookie WR Ja'Kobi Lane, who has been on injured reserve.

Footballguys view: Lane is eligible to come off injured reserve after missing the past four games. HC Jesse Minter said it was possible that Lane could return to face the Cleveland Browns in Week 6. Lane was the star of training camp and preseason before suffering a wrist injury in Week 1.

  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.

  Panthers | Jalen Coker in uniform on Tuesday    Tue Oct 13, 01:54 PM

Panthers WR Jalen Coker, who has been dealing with a quad injury, was in uniform on Tuesday.

Footballguys view: On Monday, Coker was described as "on track" in his recovery but with "big days of practice" ahead. It's reasonable to believe the off week worked in his favor. We'll be following up on Coker, who has averaged 17.4 fantasy points in three games, as the week progresses.

  Brandin Cooks 'next man up' at WR with Deebo Samuel Sr. injured    Tue Oct 13, 02:18 AM

49ers WR Brandin Cooks is the next man up at wide receiver with WR Deebo Samuel Sr. sidelined by a hamstring injury. Samuel is expected to miss at least a couple of weeks.

Footballguys view: All signs point to a bigger role for Cooks, who played nearly every snap after Samuel exited and had an impressive, sliding touchdown catch to reclaim the lead in the fourth quarter of Sunday's win over Seattle. Cooks is worth adding off waivers.

  Rams | Nacua catches 17 passes for 138 yards, a touchdown in loss to Bills    Tue Oct 13, 12:01 AM

Los Angeles Rams WR Puka Nacua ran 2 times for 9 yards and also caught 17 passes for 138 yards and a touchdown on 24 targets in Monday's 37-34 loss to the Buffalo Bills. He was projected for 16.1 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 29.2.

Footballguys view: Nacua set new career highs in receptions and targets, as well as a team-high figure in receiving yards. As CBSSports.com suggested, Nacua monopolized Matthew Stafford's attention even more than usual, although the one positive for the Bills defense is that it did a solid job keeping Nacua from doing much damage after the catch. The fourth-year pro also recorded his first receiving touchdown of the season. His production Monday nearly made up for his two-game absence earlier in the season. The Rams have a Week 6 divisional home matchup against the Cardinals on Sunday.

  Packers | Skyy Moore's ankle injury could keep him out 'for a little bit', not season-ending    Mon Oct 12, 04:30 PM

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 | Deebo Samuel expected to miss 'at least a couple of weeks' with hamstring injury    Mon Oct 12, 03:31 PM

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.

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 | Deebo Samuel to undergo MRI on hamstring    Mon Oct 12, 09:05 AM

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 | Isaiah Bond steps into KC Concepcion's role after injury, ties for team-high 7 targets    Mon Oct 12, 08:54 AM

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.
