RB Tyler Allgeier will start, with RB Bam Knight as the backup, and the Cardinals are expected to elevate RB Evan Hull from the practice squad as a third option. LaFleur said earlier in the week that getting the rookie healthy was "vital." Love, who sprained his right ankle in his only preseason game, played against the Lions last week, gaining 22 yards on 12 carries, and was held out of practice this week.

"We should be looking at a sooner-rather-than-later return after this (upcoming) game," Macdonald said.

Eagles | Saquon Barkley not seen at Friday practice Fri Oct 16, 12:47 PM
Eagles RB Saquon Barkley (hamstring) was not seen at practice on Friday. Barkley was also not spotted at practice on Wednesday or Thursday.
| Footballguys view: Barkley hasn't practiced all week. With Will Shipley likely out as well, Dameon Pierce is set to lead the Eagles' backfield. Carson Steele and Jaydon Blue might get some usage. Given the Eagles' injuries, though, any running back is a fantasy dart throw, likely dependent on a touchdown to pay off. |

Seahawks | Macdonald says 'No. No.' to considering QB change from Darnold Fri Oct 16, 12:44 PM
Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald said on Friday that he is not considering a change at quarterback, answering "No. No." when asked on Seattle Sports radio. Macdonald said he knows the team has a starting-caliber backup in QB Drew Lock but believes they can find solutions with QB Sam Darnold as their starter.
| Footballguys view: Benching a Super Bowl-winning quarterback after four full games the following season would be unforeseen. Darnold hasn't recaptured the magic we saw last year, and he looked especially bad Thursday night, throwing two awful interceptions late in the game. But asking whether he should be benched is just local radio looking for a story. Darnold should start next week against the Chiefs. If he loses a few more games, the team may have to make difficult decisions. But it's too early now to worry about a benching. |

Commanders | Jacory Croskey-Merritt not at practice for second straight day Fri Oct 16, 12:33 PM
Commanders RB Jacory "Bill" Croskey-Merritt (groin) was not at practice on Friday, his second consecutive day missing. RBs Austin Ekeler (chest) and Rachaad White both practiced in non-contact jerseys on Friday.
| Footballguys view: Croskey-Merritt will have one more chance to practice on Saturday, but his availability for Monday night is currently in doubt. With Ekeler and White also managing injuries, Jeremy McNichols, working back from an IR stint, is the healthiest running back on the depth chart. The Commanders waived rookie Kaytron Allen last week and may be regretting that move now. We'll hope for more information on the Commanders' running backs after Saturday's practice, but Croskey-Merritt managers should start looking at other options. |

Panthers | Jalen Coker has no game designation, good to go vs. Eagles Fri Oct 16, 12:26 PM
Panthers WR Jalen Coker (quad) carries no game designation for Sunday's game against the Eagles and is good to go. All players on the roster were listed as full participants in Friday's practice.
| Footballguys view: Coker rested during last week's bye, logged a full week of practice, and will be ready to go Sunday against the Eagles. He's in the WR2 discussion against the Eagles. |

Panthers | Bryce Young carries no game designation, good to go Sunday Fri Oct 16, 12:26 PM
Panthers QB Bryce Young carries no game designation for Sunday's game against the Eagles and is good to go. All players on the roster were listed as full participants in Friday's practice.
| Footballguys view: Young has been on the injury report with a knee issue since the lead-up to Week 4's game. It hasn't affected him, and he had last week's bye to rest. Young has been lights out to start this season. Get him in your lineup as a back-end QB1. |

Panthers | AJ Dillon ruled out for Sunday against the Eagles Fri Oct 16, 12:26 PM
Panthers RB AJ Dillon (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Eagles after missing the entire week of practice. Philadelphia is one of Dillon's former teams.
| Footballguys view: Chuba Hubbard should once again dominate the Panthers' backfield touches with Dillon out. He's the per-game RB6 through Week 5 and can be relied on as a high-end RB2 against the decimated Eagles. |

Ravens | Lamar Jackson misses third straight practice, Huntley likely to start again Fri Oct 16, 12:19 PM
Ravens QB Lamar Jackson was not present during the media viewing portion of Friday's practice, marking the third straight day this week he has not practiced, ESPN's Jamison Hensley reported. Hensley said that indicates QB Tyler Huntley will likely start for the second straight week, with Baltimore at the Browns on Sunday. Jackson has not played since spraining his left ankle in an Oct. 4 win over the Titans. Huntley has won his last three starts as a fill-in for Jackson, with Baltimore averaging 33.7 points in those games.
| Footballguys view: The expectation is that Jackson will not play this week. While Huntley lowers projections a tad for the Ravens' pass catchers, his ability as a rusher makes him a very fantasy-friendly streamer. He'll be in the high-end QB2 discussion, and his upside was evident just last week. |

Commanders | Stefon Diggs going through stretching on Friday Fri Oct 16, 12:18 PM
Commanders WR Stefon Diggs (hamstring) was going through stretching at the start of practice on Friday. Diggs did not practice on Thursday, though head coach Dan Quinn said he was 'hopeful' for a return this week. Diggs missed the Week 5 game against the Giants with the hamstring injury.
| Footballguys view: After missing a week due to a hamstring injury, Diggs hopes to return for Monday Night Football. We'll hope for more information after Saturday's practice. For fantasy managers relying on Diggs, Antonio Williams and Brandin Cooks are readily available options who could serve as last-minute pivots if Diggs gets scratched. |

Commanders | Terry McLaurin gets 'vet rest day' Friday Fri Oct 16, 12:15 PM
Commanders WR Terry McLaurin had a veteran rest day on Friday. DE K'Lavon Chaisson also got a rest day. McLaurin was active for Sunday's game against the Giants after being called 'likely not a full go' beforehand.
| Footballguys view: McLaurin is expected to play against the 49ers on Monday night. With Jayden Daniels starting, McLaurin's ceiling elevates a bit. He can be relied on as a WR2 with WR1 upside. |
Terry McLaurin player page
Eagles | DeVonta Smith practicing Friday, 'good sign' for Eagles Fri Oct 16, 12:14 PM
Eagles WR DeVonta Smith (hamstring) was practicing on Friday. Smith was upgraded to limited on Thursday, and there was optimism he would play Sunday against the Panthers.
| Footballguys view: Smith has missed the last two weeks due to his preseason hamstring injury worsening. Initial reports were that he was week-to-week, so returning this week wouldn't be out of the question. Last week, Makai Lemon, Dontayvion Wicks, and Darius Cooper led the receiving corps. Cooper will likely be phased out with Smith back, but his playmaking is hard to put back on the shelf. With Tanner McKee set to make his third NFL start, Smith is a WR3 this week if active. If he can't go, Lemon, Wicks, and Cooper are all risky flex plays. |

49ers | Kittle asked Lynch about acquiring Chargers edge Khalil Mack Fri Oct 16, 12:11 PM
49ers GM John Lynch said TE George Kittle asked him on Thursday about the possibility of acquiring Chargers DE Khalil Mack, who has three sacks for the 0-5 Chargers. Asked on KNBR whether he is talking to teams, Lynch said, "Just because the flow of the trade deadline is approaching, yes. That's our job to do that, to talk with our counterparts around the league. We receive calls, we make calls, just to see where the market is at."

Ravens | Zay Flowers practicing Friday after being added to injury report with toe injury Fri Oct 16, 12:10 PM
Ravens WR Zay Flowers is practicing on Friday. He was added to the injury report on Thursday with a toe injury.
| Footballguys view: Injuries have been a theme of Flowers' 2026 season. He's played through most of them and should be able to do so again this weekend. His ceiling is slightly capped with Tyler Huntley starting instead of Lamar Jackson. Still, start Flowers as a WR1. |

Ravens | Rashod Bateman still in red non-contact jersey Friday Fri Oct 16, 12:08 PM
Ravens WR Rashod Bateman (shoulder) continued to wear a red non-contact jersey at practice on Friday. Bateman was limited on Wednesday, when head coach Jesse Minter said "he should be fine," before being downgraded to a non-participant on Thursday. The Ravens play at the Browns on Sunday.
| Footballguys view: Bateman appears on track to play this week. But with Lamar Jackson out and a quiet week of practice, Bateman is firmly in desperation territory, especially in what projects to be a low-scoring game against the Browns. He can always make his fantasy day in one play. But with the injury and Tyler Huntley starting, Bateman should remain on fantasy managers' benches. He'll have better opportunities in the future, when he is healthy and Jackson is back. |

Browns | Carson Schwesinger back at practice Friday Fri Oct 16, 12:05 PM

Browns | Quinshon Judkins back at practice Friday Fri Oct 16, 11:59 AM
Browns RB Quinshon Judkins returned to practice on Friday after not practicing on Wednesday or Thursday this week. The Browns host the Ravens on Sunday.
| Footballguys view: After back-to-back DNPs to start the week, Judkins' return to practice is a great sign. He left Week 5's game in a walking boot on his surgically repaired ankle, leading many to panic. The Browns downplayed the severity, but the inability to practice caused more concern. We'll get more information after today's practice, but Judkins still has a chance to play this week. Dylan Sampson also returned this week after an IR stint. If both are active, fantasy managers might want to take a wait-and-see approach as both young backs navigate their returns from injury. |

Patriots | A.J. Brown on the field as Friday's practice gets underway Fri Oct 16, 11:54 AM

Eagles | Eagles sign QB Joe Milton off Cowboys practice squad with Hurts sidelined Fri Oct 16, 11:04 AM
The Eagles are signing QB Joe Milton III off the Cowboys practice squad to their 53-man roster, according to sources. With QB Jalen Hurts dealing with a superficial blood clot in his calf, Philadelphia now has Tanner McKee, rookie Cole Payton and Milton on the active roster. Hurts' situation "is not about football right now. It's about his health and giving him the time he needs to recover."
| Footballguys view: Tanner McKee is set to start in Week 6, but Milton could quickly push for a start as soon as next week if Jalen Hurts remains sidelined. Milton brings a similar skill set to Hurts, possessing a big arm and rushing ability. He hasn't had much opportunity so far in his young NFL career, but his rushing upside would immediately make him a fantasy-viable quarterback if he gets the nod. It's too early to pick him up in most redraft leagues, but dynasty managers, especially in superflex leagues, should make him a priority addition. |

Jets | Kenyon Sadiq set to be full participant Friday Fri Oct 16, 10:51 AM
Jets TE Kenyon Sadiq (concussion) will be a full participant in Friday's practice, head coach Aaron Glenn said. Sadiq was limited in Thursday's practice after being in the concussion protocol earlier in the week. He left the Week 5 game against the Browns with the concussion.
| Footballguys view: Sadiq practiced in a limited fashion on Wednesday and Thursday. Full participation on Friday should allow him to clear concussion protocol. We'll get more news after practice. But assuming Sadiq is active, he can be started as a TE1 this week against the Patriots. |
Kenyon Sadiq player page
Jets | Omar Cooper Jr. full in practice Friday, 'will play Sunday' Fri Oct 16, 10:47 AM
Jets rookie WR Omar Cooper Jr. (ankle) is a full participant in practice on Friday and will play Sunday against the Patriots, head coach Aaron Glenn said. Cooper has been designated to return from injured reserve.
| Footballguys view: Cooper managed to play only five snaps in Week 1 before injuring his ankle, but he flashed with a 30-yard catch before leaving the game. With Adonai Mitchell out, Cooper, the Jets' first-round pick, will have a chance to play opposite Garrett Wilson as the team's secondary receiver. He's a risky play given his lack of action so far, but he can provide upside as a flex play for desperate fantasy managers. |
Omar Cooper Jr. player page
Jets | Breece Hall ruled out again, this time for Week 6 at Patriots Fri Oct 16, 10:44 AM
The Jets have again ruled out RB Breece Hall (quad), this time for Sunday's game at the Patriots. Head coach Aaron Glenn called Hall 'week to week' on Wednesday, and Hall did not practice that day before working with trainers on a side field Thursday.
| Footballguys view: After not practicing all week, Hall will miss his third straight game. Braelon Allen has been getting workhorse usage since Hall's absence, and that should continue this week in a divisional matchup against the Patriots. Get Allen in your lineup as an RB2. |
Breece Hall player page
Patriots | A.J. Brown 'trending toward' playing Sunday vs. Jets Fri Oct 16, 04:10 AM
Patriots WR A.J. Brown (ankle) is trending toward playing Sunday against the Jets. Brown, who is on injured reserve, returned to practice on Wednesday to open his 21-day return window.
| Footballguys view: Brown was initially expected to miss about six weeks, but he seems on track to return immediately following his four-week IR stint. The Patriots, missing Mack Hollins, are desperate for receiver help. Brown may not be 100 percent in this matchup, but fantasy managers who have been waiting to put him in their lineups can use him as a WR2 this week against the Jets. |
