Patriots | WR Romeo Doubs questionable to return Sun Oct 18, 01:55 PM
Patriots WR Romeo Doubs was injured in the first quarter of Sunday's game against the Jets with 4:10 left. He is questionable to return (shoulder).
| Footballguys view: At least he injured the shoulder on a 42-yard touchdown. Just as the Patriots got AJ Brown back, it looks like they may lose Doubs for at least the Thursday night game against the Bears coming up in Week 7. |

Texans | Stroud on Marvin Harrison Jr.: 'We'll get him more touches going forward' Sun Oct 18, 01:41 PM
Texans QB C.J. Stroud said on Sunday that WR Marvin Harrison Jr. will see more touches going forward after making his Texans debut in the Week 6 win over the Jaguars. "It felt like old times. I thought he looked great. We'll get him more touches going forward," Stroud said. Harrison was expected to play 15-20 snaps in his debut and was not on a full workload.
| Footballguys view: Harrison should be added in leagues where he was dropped and bench size allows. CJ Stroud may not be able to support Marvin Harrison Jr. and Jaylin Noel (who caught all four of his targets for over 100 yards and a score today) in addition to Nico Collins, but we can see that both Harrison and Noel will have a high weekly ceiling with defenses focused on Collins and the Texans struggling to establish the run. |

Jaguars | Brian Thomas Jr. plays zero second-half snaps against the Texans Sun Oct 18, 12:57 PM
Jaguars WR Brian Thomas Jr. played zero snaps in the second half of Sunday's game against the Texans after playing 15 snaps in the first half, according to ESPN Research. No reason for his absence after halftime was given.
| Footballguys view: Trade talks should heat up during the Jaguars bye. They won't get what the Cardinals got for Marvin Harrison Jr. (Houston's 2nd round pick and 7th/6th swap), but teams that could have used Harrison but didn't want to pay that price - perhaps the Colts or Chiefs - might be interesting in acquiring Thomas. |

Jaguars | Hunter catches 4 passes for 59 yards, a touchdown in loss to Texans Sun Oct 18, 12:50 PM
Jacksonville Jaguars WR Travis Hunter caught 4 passes for 59 yards and a touchdown on 4 targets in Sunday's 34-31 loss to the Houston Texans. He was projected for 0.6 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 13.9.
| Footballguys view: Hunter also had an end zone interception in the fourth quarter with the game tied. This was the kind of performance the Jaguars dreamed of when they moved up to the #2 pick to take Hunter last year. He might be inconsistent in non-IDP leagues, but now we can see what he is capable of limited offensive snaps. He's worth carrying through the bye in redraft leagues if bench size allows. Congrats if you have him in IDP leagues where his stats count on both sides of the ball, especially if you can play him as a defensive back. |

Texans | Noel catches 4 passes for 107 yards, a touchdown in win over Jaguars Sun Oct 18, 12:50 PM
Houston Texans WR Jaylin Noel caught 4 passes for 107 yards and a touchdown on 4 targets in Sunday's 34-31 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars. He was projected for 5.3 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 18.7.
| Footballguys view: Fantasy football math doesn't always make sense. The addition of Marvin Harrison Jr. immediately opened up even more big play possibilities for Noel in the same way that trading him away made teams pay more attention to Michael Wilson. Noel is going into his bye, but should be on rosters in PPR leagues where bench size allows. |

Colts | Alec Pierce eligible for practice window next week but 'at least a few weeks' from return Sat Oct 17, 11:55 PM
Colts WR Alec Pierce continues to progress in his recovery from a re-injured heel but is still likely at least a few weeks from returning, though he is eligible to have his 21-day practice window on injured reserve opened next week, NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reported. Pierce re-injured his left heel late in the first quarter of Week 2's Sunday night game against the Chiefs and was placed on injured reserve. The initial expectation was that he would be out closer to midseason, at least six to eight weeks, rather than the four-game IR minimum. Pierce was not seen wearing a cast earlier this week.

49ers WR Deebo Samuel has been ruled out with a hamstring injury for Monday's Week 6 game against the Commanders. Samuel was expected to miss "at least a couple of weeks" with the injury, and the 49ers have held off on placing him on injured reserve because of their Week 8 bye.

49ers | Mike Evans questionable for Monday vs. Commanders Sat Oct 17, 04:55 PM
49ers WR Mike Evans is listed as questionable with rib and Achilles injuries for Monday's Week 6 game against the Commanders. WR Deebo Samuel Sr. (hamstring) has been ruled out, and WR Christian Kirk (calf) is also listed as questionable.
| Footballguys view: Kirk still has not been activated from injured reserve, so he's no sure thing to play. Evans can play without practicing, and he can produce against a poor Commanders pass defense, but you have to have a hedge from the Commanders or 49ers if you are going to rely on him. If you can move Evans into your flex to expand options, even better. Rachaad White and Chig Okonkwo are the best flex options to carry, and Brandin Cooks and Stefon Diggs are the best wide receivers who might be on your waiver wire to cover Evans. If you have to go deeper, Austin Ekeler and Kaelon Black are possible flex options and Antonio Williams, Jordan Watkins, and Treylon Burks are additional wide receiver options. The 49ers' bye is in Week 8, which could make them more inclined to rest Evans if they are worried about his injuries worsening if he takes the field Monday night. |

Ravens | Ja'Kobi Lane activated from IR, set to play Sunday at Cleveland Sat Oct 17, 04:00 PM
Ravens rookie WR Ja'Kobi Lane was activated from injured reserve on Saturday and is set to play in Sunday's Week 6 game at Cleveland, with backup QB Tyler Huntley starting for the injured Lamar Jackson (ankle). Lane suffered a wrist injury in his first pro game and spent the minimum stay on IR, returning to practice this week. It remains to be seen how many snaps he will play in his first game back. "He's had a great week and done a really good job," Head Coach Jesse Minter said.

Commanders | Stefon Diggs questionable for Monday night at 49ers Sat Oct 17, 03:03 PM
Commanders WR Stefon Diggs (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Monday's game at the 49ers. Diggs was limited at practice on Friday.
| Footballguys view: Diggs has some PPR value as a what-the-heck flex with the Commanders likely going pass-heavy with Jacory Croskey-Merritt out and the 49ers probably jumping out to a lead against the poor Washington pass defense. |
Stefon Diggs player page
Jets | Omar Cooper Jr. activated off IR, will play Sunday at Patriots Sat Oct 17, 02:30 PM
Jets WR Omar Cooper Jr. will be activated off injured reserve on Saturday and will play in Sunday's Week 6 game at the Patriots. The rookie has missed the last four games with a high-ankle sprain suffered in Week 1, when he caught one pass for 30 yards before getting hurt on the play. Cooper practiced fully on Friday before receiving a questionable designation. Head coach Aaron Glenn said he felt good about Cooper when his 21-day practice window was opened earlier this week.
| Footballguys view: Cooper and fellow first round pick tight end Kenyon Sadiq, who cleared concussion protocol and will play in Week 6, give Frank Reich more options while Breece Hall (quad) and Adonai Mitchell (finger) are still sidelined. Cooper got hurt very early in Week 1, so we've barely gotten to see what the Jets can do with their new toys in a revived offense. |

Steelers | DK Metcalf removed from injury report, no designation for Week 6 Sat Oct 17, 12:22 PM
Steelers WR DK Metcalf has been removed from the injury report and will not carry an injury designation for Sunday's game at the Buccaneers. Metcalf had been listed as questionable with an illness on Friday.
| Footballguys view: Metcalf was a late-week injury report add, but it appears that there's nothing to worry about with his status. The Steelers are missing three wide receivers for this game, and top receiving tight end Pat Freiermuth was a late add to the injury report with a calf injury, so Metcalf is worth a WR3/Flex look this week just because of the lack of target competition. |

Ravens | Ja'Kobi Lane 'good to go' after full practice week, set for IR activation Sat Oct 17, 11:29 AM
Ravens WR Ja'Kobi Lane (wrist) is "good to go" after a full practice slate this week, a source said on Saturday. That should lead to his activation off injured reserve for Sunday's game at the Browns. Lane, a rookie, has been working back from wrist surgery.
| Footballguys view: Lane isn't a what-the-heck flex with Tyler Huntley in while Lamar Jackson nurses an ankle injury, but he is worth a preemptive add in leagues with longer benches as the potential No. 2 receiver going forward. Rashod Bateman is the No. 2 right now, but his name has come up in trade rumors with the deadline approaching. |

Jaguars | Brian Thomas Jr. 'appears procurable' as Parker Washington ascends Sat Oct 17, 10:38 AM
Jaguars WR Brian Thomas Jr. "appears procurable to the rest of the NFL" as WR Parker Washington ascends in the Jacksonville offense. The Jaguars "have been firm in their stance" on Thomas, though it is an open question whether that changes over the next few weeks ahead of the trade deadline.
| Footballguys view: It will be difficult for the Jaguars to get a second-round pick for Thomas, which was the main compensation for Marvin Harrison Jr. when the Texans traded for him from the Cardinals. Thomas could be a target for teams that were interested in Harrison but didn't want to pay the high price, including the Chiefs and Colts. Sixth-round rookie Josh Cameron would move into a larger - maybe even fantasy relevant - role if Thomas were to be dealt. |

Patriots | A.J. Brown to be activated, will return Sunday vs. Jets Sat Oct 17, 09:03 AM
The Patriots will activate WR A.J. Brown (ankle) from injured reserve, and he is expected to return on Sunday against the Jets. Brown was listed as questionable for the game after practicing on Friday.
| Footballguys view: Brown probably won't play his full complement of snaps, but when he's on the field, he should be a prime target for Drake Maye, who is red-hot coming off of two sparkling performances following three rough games to start the season. Consider Brown a boom/bust WR3/Flex this week. |
