Bills | DJ Moore not on field for start of Thursday practice Thu Oct 15, 05:43 PM
Bills WR DJ Moore was not on the field during the media-open start to practice on Thursday. Moore, who is dealing with a shoulder injury, was an estimated non-participant at Wednesday's walk-through after being ruled out for Monday night's game against the Rams.
| Footballguys view: Moore seems to be on track to miss Week 6 against the Raiders. That means the Bills will turn to guys like Khalil Shakir, Keon Coleman, and Skyler Bell. Shakir led the Bills with 80 yards receiving on Monday night against the Rams. |

Chiefs | Rashee Rice misses practice again Thursday Thu Oct 15, 04:39 PM
Chiefs WR Rashee Rice did not practice again on Thursday due to his hamstring injury. Rice also did not practice on Wednesday, per head coach Andy Reid. He suffered the injury in the first quarter of the Chiefs' game on Sunday, October 4.
| Footballguys view: This is a 'tweaked' hamstring according to Andy Reid. It seems like Rice is on the wrong side of questionable for Week 6. Xavier Worthy may be the top wide receiver for the Chiefs, and we've got him in the WR2/flex range. |

Ravens | Zay Flowers back on injury report with toe injury, 'seemed fine post practice' Thu Oct 15, 04:32 PM
Ravens WR Zay Flowers was added to the injury report on Thursday with a toe injury, a day after getting off the injury report. Flowers "seemed fine post practice." The Ravens play at the Browns on Sunday.
| Footballguys view: Ugh. He's played through the foot injury as recently as last week. He seems fine, and we'll be optimistic about his Week 6 status. |

49ers | Deebo Samuel IR candidate, but 49ers holding off due to Week 8 bye Thu Oct 15, 03:55 PM
49ers WR Deebo Samuel Sr. (hamstring) would be in consideration for injured reserve, but the team will hold off on the move because of its Week 8 bye, head coach Kyle Shanahan said on Thursday. Samuel was expected on Monday to miss 'at least a couple of weeks' with the hamstring injury.
| Footballguys view: With a Week 8 bye, the 49ers could be angling to have Samuel in Week 9. Without him on the field, the 49ers lose a key weapon on offense that they can't really replace 1-for-1. Jacob Cowing and Brandin Cooks are in line to do more. |

Saints | Chris Olave not seen at practice again Thursday Thu Oct 15, 03:52 PM
Saints WR Chris Olave was not seen at practice again on Thursday. Olave was one of three Saints players who were sick on Wednesday. New Orleans visits the Giants on Sunday.
| Footballguys view: It's an illness designation, so hopefully Olave is feeling better soon. Against the Giants in Week 6, Olave is a WR1 if healthy. |

49ers | Mike Evans does not practice Thursday Thu Oct 15, 03:45 PM
49ers WR Mike Evans did not practice on Thursday. He was listed with rib and Achilles injuries.
| Footballguys view: The 49ers play on Monday against the Commanders, so check back to see if Evans can practice on Saturday at the latest. He's a tough player, so Evans is a WR2 pretty much anytime he's out there. |

Eagles | DeVonta Smith warming up without helmet Thursday Thu Oct 15, 02:22 PM
Eagles WR DeVonta Smith (hamstring) was warming up but did not have a helmet on during the media viewing window at practice on Thursday.
| Footballguys view: Smith worked off to the side on Wednesday and was also listed with a toe injury in addition to the hamstring. Eagles HC Nick Sirianni said earlier this week he was 'hopeful' Smith could return this week. NFL Network's Mike Garafolo is reporting there is some optimism about Smith's status. |

Panthers | Jalen Coker stretching with teammates at Thursday's practice Thu Oct 15, 01:55 PM
Panthers WR Jalen Coker (quadriceps) was stretching with teammates at practice on Thursday. Coker was credited as a full participant on Wednesday's estimated injury report.
| Footballguys view: Quad and ankle injuries have been bothering Coker, but he's practicing in full. Against the Eagles on Sunday, we've got Coker in the WR2/flex range for Fantasy GMs in PPR formats. |

Packers | Skyy Moore misses practice again on Thursday Thu Oct 15, 01:05 PM
Packers WR Skyy Moore (ankle) did not practice on Thursday, his second straight missed session this week. Moore was injured in Sunday's win over the Bears and was in a walking boot afterward, with Bo Melton taking over in the slot.
| Footballguys view: The ankle injury was described Monday as one that could keep him out 'for a little bit' but is not season-ending. Moore was seen wearing a walking boot this week. |

Commanders | Stefon Diggs won't practice Thursday, Quinn 'hopeful' for return this week Thu Oct 15, 12:40 PM
Commanders WR Stefon Diggs (hamstring) will not practice on Thursday, head coach Dan Quinn said. Quinn said he is hopeful Diggs will return to the practice field by the end of the week.
| Footballguys view: Diggs is on the wrong side of questionable. He's not trending towards playing in Week 6, so that means we'll see more work for guys like Terry McLaurin and Chig Okonkwo. |

Texans | Marvin Harrison Jr. to play, be involved vs. Jaguars, but 'not a full workload yet' Thu Oct 15, 12:29 PM
Texans WR Marvin Harrison Jr. took part in his second practice with the team on Thursday following his trade from the Cardinals. The plan for Sunday's game against the Jaguars is for Harrison to play and be involved, but not to carry a full workload yet.
| Footballguys view: Zero surprise here. In fact, it may be 2-3 weeks before Harrison is truly up to speed in his new offense. It helps that he and CJ Stroud were college teammates at Ohio State, so that could speed up the process just a bit. Harrison is playing this week against the Jaguars, and we've got him as a 'what the heck' flex for Fantasy GMs in PPR leagues. |

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.

Buffalo is expected to hold a full practice on Thursday ahead of Sunday's game at the Raiders.

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
Eagles WR DeVonta Smith was listed with a toe injury on Wednesday's injury report, in addition to the hamstring injury that kept him out of the London game against the Jaguars. Smith worked off to the side at practice on Wednesday.

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. |

Jaguars | Jakobi Meyers off injury report for Week 6 Wed Oct 14, 05:38 PM

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. |

Packers | Skyy Moore misses Wednesday practice Wed Oct 14, 04:58 PM

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 | Jalen Coker gets full credit on Wednesday's estimated report Wed Oct 14, 03:59 PM
Panthers WR Jalen Coker (quadriceps) was listed as a full participant on Wednesday's injury report. The Panthers did not practice Wednesday, so the report was an estimate that also reflected Tuesday's session, and Coker was on the practice field Tuesday. The team returns to practice on Thursday ahead of Sunday's game at the Eagles.

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. |
DeVonta Smith player page
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. |

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

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. |
Ja'Kobi Lane player page
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. |
