Texans | Noel catches 5 passes for 41 yards, a touchdown in win over Titans Sun Oct 11, 03:56 PM
Houston Texans WR Jaylin Noel ran 1 time for 1 yards 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 CJ Stroud and Nico Collins. We'll keep him on our waiver wire watch list with this offense going through CJ Stroud with the running game stuck in neutral and David Montgomery leaving this game with a groin injury. |

Titans | Tate held to 1 catch for 6 yards in loss to Texans Sun Oct 11, 03:56 PM
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 came 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. |

Jets | Kenyon Sadiq ruled out with a concussion against Browns Sun Oct 11, 03:33 PM
Jets TE Kenyon Sadiq has been ruled out of Sunday's game against the Browns with a concussion, the team announced. Sadiq had been evaluated for a head injury earlier in the game. He will now enter the league's concussion protocol ahead of the Week 6 game at New England.
| Footballguys view: Sadiq had previously fumbled in the red zone. He has turned back into a pumpkin after a Week 3 7-105-1 breakout game that ended up being more about the Lions pass defense issues than the second of the Jets three first round picks announcing his arrival. |

Patriots | TreVeyon Henderson ruled out vs. Raiders Sun Oct 11, 03:06 PM
Patriots RB TreVeyon Henderson was ruled out during Sunday's game against the Raiders. Henderson had walked to the locker room for further evaluation and was listed as questionable to return with an ankle injury before being officially ruled out.
| Footballguys view: Henderson finishes with four carries for 22 rushing yards and one catch for 16 yards when he came in as the healthier of the two Patriots backs. Rhamondre Stevenson will be a strong RB2 play for as long as Henderson is out. Corey Kiner is the #3 back, but he fumbled in this game, so he's no threat to Stevenson. |

49ers | George Kittle officially active against Seahawks despite illness Sun Oct 11, 02:56 PM

Steelers | Roman Wilson out, Steelers 'down to 4 wide receivers' against Colts Sun Oct 11, 02:54 PM
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 (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 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. |

Texans | David Montgomery downgraded to out with groin injury against Titans Sun Oct 11, 02:41 PM
Texans RB David Montgomery has been downgraded to out with a groin injury in Sunday's game against the Titans. Montgomery had earlier been listed as questionable to return.
| Footballguys view: Montgomery was a bust in a week that he had a good chance for a touchdown because of this lopsided matchup. Instead, Woody Marks outplayed Montgomery before the injury and should be the clear lead back until Montgomery returns. Marks will be a priority pickup as we wait for news about Montgomery's status for a big game against the division-leading Jaguars next week. The Texans running game has been ineffective so far this season, but it has been more ineffective with Montgomery in. |

Browns | KC Concepcion ruled out with head injury after 'huge blow' from Minkah Fitzpatrick Sun Oct 11, 01:31 PM
Browns rookie WR KC Concepcion 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 without their first round pick wide receiver. |

Vikings | T.J. Hockenson downgraded to out vs. Saints Sun Oct 11, 01:25 PM
Vikings TE T.J. Hockenson (concussion) has been downgraded to out for Sunday's game against the Saints. Hockenson was injured in the first quarter and had been evaluated for a concussion before being listed as questionable to return.
| Footballguys view: Hockenson posted his biggest fantasy game in years with 13 games last week against Miami. Justin Jefferson was back this week, so Hockenson's outlook wasn't as bright, but he probably still got in some lineups as a streaming TE1, so this is a disappointment. The Vikings are on bye next week, so Hockenson may not miss an additional game due to this injury. |

Jaguars | Washington catches 6 passes for 124 yards, two touchdowns in win over Eagles Sun Oct 11, 01:16 PM
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. |

Eagles | Cooper catches 2 passes for 71 yards, a touchdown in loss to Jaguars Sun Oct 11, 01:16 PM
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.

Jaguars | Lawrence throws for 331 yards, two touchdowns in win over Eagles Sun Oct 11, 01:16 PM
Jacksonville Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence completed 24 of 39 passes for 331 yards with 2 touchdowns and 1 interception and added 3 times for 25 yards in Sunday's 19-17 win over the Philadelphia Eagles. He was projected for 17.5 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 22.7.
| Footballguys view: The Jaguars won this game thanks to a heroic kick return by Ameer Abdullah with eight seconds left to the Philadelphia side of the field to set up a 57 yard game-winning field goal by Cam Little after Jake Elliott had just hit what looked like a game-winning field goal. The game could have been easier for the Jaguars and bigger for the fantasy output of Lawrence and this offense, but the team was stopped on fourth down and goal and twice came away with no points after having first and goal at the one on both drives. Lawrence ended up being a good start against the tough Eagles defense thanks to two outstanding plays on touchdown catches by Parker Washington. Consider Lawrence a high floor play against the beleaguered Texans defense next week. |

Commanders | Jayden Daniels to wear 'much larger brace' on left elbow, offense to adjust Sun Oct 11, 12:28 PM
Commanders QB Jayden Daniels will wear a much larger brace on his left elbow on Sunday than the one he wore last year. Daniels has had several practices to get comfortable with it, and the Commanders feel it greatly decreases the chances of the elbow being re-injured. Some things will be done differently offensively because of the elbow.

Eagles | Will Shipley ruled out vs. Jaguars, Dameon Pierce 'the top option' Sun Oct 11, 11:42 AM
Eagles RB Will Shipley has been ruled out of Sunday's game against the Jaguars in London after suffering a foot injury. The Eagles are down to two running backs who started the week on the practice squad, RB Dameon Pierce and RB Carson Steele, with Pierce "the top option." Shipley had been expected to lead the backfield without RB Saquon Barkley.
| Footballguys view: Shipley scored before leaving the game so that he wasn't a complete loss as a what-the-heck flex. Pierce managed 14 yards on 11 carries and -2 yards and two receptions, so even if he gets the start against the Panthers next week, he's a desperation play. |

Jeanty ran the drills twice, huddled with the team's decision-makers for a discussion and went back to the locker room. The session was much shorter than the full workout TE Brock Bowers went through before Week 2 against the Chargers, a game Bowers ultimately did not play. Jeanty is officially questionable.

The Commanders elevated WR Van Jefferson from the practice squad on Saturday. The move comes with WR Stefon Diggs out and WR Terry McLaurin questionable for Sunday's Week 5 game against the Giants.
| Footballguys view: Rookie Antonio Williams could be in line for a large role in the Commanders' passing attack. We've got him in the WR4 range, but the upside is there for him to do much more with all the injuries in their wide receiver room. McLaurin has been called a game-time decision for Sunday's game against the Giants. Stay tuned. |

| Footballguys view: Jeanty's Fantasy GMs need to keep an eye out here. Jeanty was limited in Thursday's practice and missed Friday's practice. Mike Washington Jr. is in line for a large workload if Jeanty is declared out. Fantasy GMs should have already been stashing him, and if he's out there on your waiver wire, then feel free to pick him up. |

Packers | Chris Brooks placed on injured reserve Sat Oct 10, 04:01 PM
The Packers placed RB Chris Brooks (ankle) on injured reserve on Saturday. Brooks had already been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Bears after missing practice all week, and the Packers signed RB Pierre Strong Jr. from the practice squad on Thursday.
| Footballguys view: Brooks is out of action, meaning the Packers will piece together an RBBC with MarShawn Lloyd, Kaleb Johnson, and Strong. We should see Strong as the primary pass-catching back from that group. Lloyd projects as an RB3/flex, Johnson as an RB4/deep flex, and Strong as a 'what the heck' flex in PPR formats. |

Patriots | A.J. Brown nearing return, could be back vs. Jets or wait until Week 7 Sat Oct 10, 04:00 PM
Patriots WR A.J. Brown, on injured reserve with a high-ankle sprain suffered in the season opener in Seattle, is eligible to return in Week 6.
| Footballguys view: Brown has been spotted in the Patriots locker room this week as the team prepares to ramp him up to speed. The Patriots could get him back next week vs. the Jets, but with a Thursday Night Football game in Chicago the following week, the team might wait until Week 7 to avoid playing two games in five days.

Patriots | Mack Hollins to IR, Efton Chism III likely gets 'bulk of the work' as WR3 Sat Oct 10, 04:00 PM
The Patriots placed WR Mack Hollins (calf) on injured reserve on Saturday, meaning he will miss at least four games. Hollins, the team's current leading receiver, suffered an apparent non-contact calf injury running a route in the third quarter of last Sunday's win over the Bills. WR Efton Chism III replaced Hollins in the second half of that game, catching a 19-yard pass and the game-winning touchdown, and will likely get the bulk of the work as the third receiver alongside Romeo Doubs and DeMario Douglas, with Kyle Williams mixing in.
| Footballguys view: Chism is not Cooper Kupp, but like Kupp, he has run-after-the-catch ability and played collegiately at Eastern Washington (on that red turf). He's a receiver who can be trusted to move the chains because of his reliable hands and ability to wiggle for extra yards. We like Chism as a 'what the heck' flex in his current role. |
