Giants RB Najee Harris is set to start Sunday against the Saints. There is an expectation of a change to the Giants' RB rotation, with Harris likely to have a larger role and RB Cam Skattebo "downgraded but still part of the mix after the fumbles," ESPN's Jordan Raanan reported, citing sources. All four Giants RBs (Harris, Skattebo, Tyrone Tracy Jr. and Devin Singletary) are expected to be active.

Buccaneers RB Sean Tucker (quadriceps) is listed as questionable and is not expected to play Sunday against the Steelers. Head coach Todd Bowles said earlier this month the Bucs need to "find a way to split the three backs" and that Tucker would "earn a few reps."

Patriots RB TreVeyon Henderson (ankle), who is listed as questionable, is likely to play against the Jets on Sunday, according to sources. Patriots LT Will Campbell (ankle), also questionable, is likely to play as well. With WR A.J. Brown returning, New England is close to full health.

49ers RB Kyle Juszczyk is expected to return for Monday night's Week 6 game against the Commanders after missing the Week 5 win over Seattle with a knee injury. Initial expectations were that Juszczyk could miss around three weeks. "Juice has always been fast every time he's ever been hurt, but this was real impressive," head coach Kyle Shanahan said on Saturday.

The Eagles signed RB Jaydon Blue to their active roster on Saturday. The move fills the open spot on the 53-man roster created when the team announced on Saturday afternoon that QB Jalen Hurts was placed on injured reserve.

Commanders RB Jacory "Bill" Croskey-Merritt (groin) did not practice all week and has been ruled out for Monday night's game at the 49ers. Head coach Dan Quinn said Croskey-Merritt re-injured the groin he originally hurt in August, adding, "That's harder, on the same injury. We'll work really hard to get him back." RBs Rachaad White (shoulder) and Austin Ekeler (chest) were cleared to play, while RB Jeremy McNichols was a full participant all week and is questionable as he waits to come off injured reserve. "Having a combination of guys," Quinn said, "is what we'll lean on right now."

The Houston Texans elevated RB Jawhar Jordan from the practice squad for for Sunday's game against the Jaguars in London.
| Footballguys view: Jordan, not Dare Ogunbowale, would be the next man up for early-down work if Woody Marks goes down. Jordan played at the end of last season and even put up a 100-yard game, so the Texans are comfortable with him as depth with David Montgomery out because of a groin injury. |

The Panthers activated RB Trevor Etienne to the 53-man roster on Saturday ahead of Sunday's Week 6 game at the Eagles. Etienne, working back from an ankle injury, was a full participant in practice every day this week and is listed as questionable. With RB AJ Dillon out with an ankle injury, the team also elevated RB Anthony Tyus III from the practice squad to serve as a third back, his second elevation.
| Footballguys view: Etienne is a versatile back who can spell Chuba Hubbard to keep the Panthers No. 1 back from wearing down. He's not worth an add outside of very deep leagues, but Etienne will be on our waiver wire watch list for his Hubbard injury upside, at least as long as No. 2 back Jonathon Brooks is out with a groin injury, which could be until around Thanksgiving. |

Commanders RB Jacory Croskey-Merritt (groin) has been ruled out of Monday's Week 6 game at the 49ers, head coach Dan Quinn confirmed on Saturday. Croskey-Merritt, the team's leading rusher, re-injured the same groin that has nagged him in recent weeks and missed practice all week. RB Rachaad White, who has caught all 10 of his targets for 53 yards and a touchdown, and RB Austin Ekeler figure to handle the backfield work. "His explosiveness in the passing game is a big deal," Quinn said of Ekeler. "So, having some combination of the guys, I think that's what we'll lean on most right now."

Commanders RB Jacory Croskey-Merritt is expected to miss Monday's Week 6 game at the 49ers, according to sources. Washington's leading rusher has battled a groin injury since training camp. He did not practice on Thursday or Friday.
| Footballguys view: Rachaad White and Austin Ekeler will split the work with Croskey-Merritt out. The Commanders have a bye next week, so the absence may not be that long for the starter. Croskey-Merritt suffered a groin injury earlier in the year, so it is possible for the absence to stretch past the Week 7 bye. Consider White a flex play this week, especially in PPR leagues. The team did sign Devin Neal to the practice squad, so he could get a call-up for Week 6. |

Commanders RB Jeremy McNichols, who was worked back into practice last week, "should have a full practice load this week," head coach Dan Quinn said on Thursday. Quinn gave the same update for CB Trey Amos and S Nick Cross. Washington visits San Francisco on Monday night.

Packers RB Josh Jacobs will immediately return as the team's starting running back next week at Detroit. Jacobs is coming off the Commissioner Exempt List and is eligible to play next week.
| Footballguys view: MarShawn Lloyd could still have a flex-worthy role as a passing-game weapon and change of pace from Jacobs, but expect Jacobs to have a big workload right away. Lloyd isn't an essential hold in short-bench leagues after this week's possible shootout with Dallas. |

49ers RB Kyle Juszczyk was upgraded from limited to full participation at practice on Friday. Juszczyk had been dealing with a knee injury that kept him out of the Week 5 game against the Seahawks.

Titans RB Tyjae Spears (knee) is questionable to play Sunday against the Colts. Spears was downgraded to a non-participant in practice on Thursday.
| Footballguys view: Spears caught a whopping nine passes last week, putting him on the radar as a pickup in PPR leagues. But as often happens when his workload ramps up, he got injured. Spears can't be started this week, even if active. He'll hope to heal up and get a full week of practice under his belt before Week 7's game against the Browns. |

The Eagles ruled out RB Saquon Barkley for Sunday's Week 6 game against the Panthers. Barkley, who has a hamstring injury, was not seen at practice on Wednesday, Thursday or Friday.
| Footballguys view: Barkley didn't practice all week, so no one expected him to play as the Eagles continue marching through their disastrous season. Dameon Pierce should get the starting nod this week, but Carson Steele and Jaydon Blue could also get touches. Pierce is an RB3, and a risky one at that. Steele and Blue can be stashed in deep leagues, but you can't trust either of them in a fantasy lineup. |
Saquon Barkley player page
The Eagles placed RB Will Shipley on injured reserve on Friday. Shipley suffered a partial plantar fascia tear in the Week 5 loss to the Jaguars and had been expected to miss multiple weeks.
| Footballguys view: Initial reports said Shipley would be out for multiple weeks, so an IR stint isn't a surprise. He's droppable in all formats. |

Packers RB Josh Jacobs is being removed from the Commissioner Exempt List on Monday and will be eligible to practice and play next week. The NFL investigation is ongoing and Jacobs can still be suspended, but as of now he will be at practice next week ahead of the Packers' Week 7 game at the Lions.
| Footballguys view: Many expected this to happen this preseason, and Jacobs will play after effectively serving a six-game suspension. The Packers have not had good production from their running backs without Jacobs out there, and Jacobs should immediately step back in as the team's primary running back. With most players across the league already feeling the wear and tear of six weeks of games and practices, Jacobs can step in with fresh legs and deliver immediate RB1 production. |
Josh Jacobs player page
Steelers RB Rico Dowdle (toe) is questionable to play Sunday against the Buccaneers. Dowdle was limited in practice on Wednesday and a full participant on Thursday. He was inactive for the Steelers' Week 5 game against the Colts.
| Footballguys view: Dowdle logged back-to-back full practices, so he's trending in the right direction. If active, he takes a bit of the shine off Jaylen Warren's projection. Warren has amassed 490 yards over the last three weeks and looks like a bona fide RB1. If Dowdle is out there, he can siphon some of the early-down and goal-line work. Dowdle doesn't belong in fantasy lineups, but his availability will be the difference between Warren ranking as a top-five running back and an RB2. |
Rico Dowdle player page
Giants RB Cam Skattebo is not expected to have the same RB1 workload against the Saints on Sunday that he has had in the first five games. Asked whether the Giants' fumbling issues could get to a point where he would need to make adjustments, head coach John Harbaugh said, "Yes, there is a point." Asked if the Giants have reached that point, Harbaugh said, "We'll see. We'll find out."
| Footballguys view: Skattebo suffered a traumatic ankle dislocation last year and hasn't regained the burst that made him a fantasy RB1. Beyond the apparent lack of power, his fumbling has him on thin ice with the new staff. Najee Harris and Tyrone Tracy Jr. are both capable running backs, and the team might start getting them a bit more involved. Skattebo is still in the discussion as a back-end RB2, but he's worth a close watch heading into this week's game against the Saints. |
Cam Skattebo player page
Bears RB Kyle Monangai (toe) remains week-to-week but will avoid injured reserve, head coach Ben Johnson said on Friday. "Trending in the right direction," Johnson said. Monangai missed practice on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday and has been declared out for Sunday.
| Footballguys view: Turf toe is notorious for lingering, and rest is the only cure. By avoiding IR, the hope is that Monangai can return in the next week or two. Roschon Johnson will be the Bears' RB2 while Monangai is out. He's a shaky flex play, and D'Andre Swift moves into the back-end RB1 discussion. |
Kyle Monangai player page
Saints RB Alvin Kamara (back) is questionable to play in Sunday's Week 6 game against the Giants. Kamara played through the back injury against the Vikings last Sunday, finishing with 12 yards on three carries in the loss.
| Footballguys view: Kamara showed some early-season burst after returning from a preseason MCL sprain. But this back injury seemed to completely zap his explosiveness last week. There was hope Kamara could be useful in PPR leagues while Travis Etienne Jr. is on IR, but nothing from last week suggests a strong performance, and a Friday questionable tag only adds to the uncertainty. Desperate managers can plug Kamara in at flex, but you should find a better option if possible. |

Browns RB Dylan Sampson (knee) will remain on injured reserve and is out for Sunday's game against the Ravens, head coach Todd Monken said on Friday. Sampson was designated to return earlier this week and has practiced for the first time since injuring his knee in the season opener.
| Footballguys view: Sampson logged a week of practice and is trending in the right direction. He won't suit up this week but will have a chance to return next week against the Titans, where he can be a valuable RB3 in PPR leagues. |
Dylan Sampson player page
Cardinals RB Jeremiyah Love (left ankle) will not play Sunday against the Rams, head coach Mike LaFleur said on Friday. 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.
| Footballguys view: LaFleur was oddly hesitant when asked if Love would be placed on IR. Although he technically answered, "No," the pause beforehand carried weight. After Week 4's loss, Love notoriously said, "This is going to be the longest season of my life." He managed just 1.8 yards per carry last week and missed this week's practice and subsequent game. A quick reset could help the young running back, who has clearly been managing his injured ankle. In his absence, expect Tyler Allgeier to carry the ball most of the time. Bam Knight could work in on passing downs. |

Patriots RB TreVeyon Henderson (ankle) was not ruled out for Sunday's game against the Jets, head coach Mike Vrabel said on Friday. Vrabel said the team will continue to evaluate Henderson, who was limited at practice on Thursday. Henderson suffered a high ankle sprain in Week 5.
| Footballguys view: There's something mildly fishy happening here. Early-week reports said that Henderson suffered a high ankle sprain and would likely miss a few weeks. He returned to practice at the start of the week and has returned every day since. The team is firm in its stance that Henderson's MRI showed a high ankle sprain, but Henderson looks fine in clips circulating from practice. If he's active, some managers may not have a choice but to start him. While he normally ranks as a back-end RB2, he's more of a borderline RB3 given this week's injury uncertainty. |
TreVeyon Henderson player page
Browns RB Quinshon Judkins is questionable for Sunday's Week 6 game against the Ravens. Judkins returned to practice on Friday after not practicing on Wednesday or Thursday.
| Footballguys view: After not practicing at the start of the week, Judkins returned to the field on Friday. The team will likely wait to see how he's feeling after practice before declaring him active or inactive for Sunday's game. The Browns-Ravens game kicks off early Sunday, so if Judkins can't go, fantasy managers will have plenty of pivot options. If he's active, he'll be a shaky RB3 this week with limited practice. |
Quinshon Judkins player page
Seahawks RB Jadarian Price must miss at least one more game while on injured reserve, but head coach Mike Macdonald offered an encouraging update on Friday. "We should be looking at a sooner-rather-than-later return after this (upcoming) game," Macdonald said. Price went on IR with an aggravated chest injury on Oct. 3, and Seattle's next game is Week 7 against the Chiefs.
| Footballguys view: The Seahawks haven't been able to get much going on the ground with a corps of Emanuel Wilson, George Holani, and Velus Jones Jr. Zach Charbonnet is back at practice, and Price could return soon. That one-two punch in the backfield could help the Seahawks get back on track as they suffer from their current Super Bowl hangover. Price, this year's first-round pick, looked good, despite some ball-security issues. He'll be the lightning to Charbonnet's thunder, and both should provide fantasy utility once healthy. |
Jadarian Price player page
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. |
Saquon Barkley player page
Commanders RB Jacory 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. |
Jacory Croskey-Merritt player page
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. |
AJ Dillon player page
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 to practice this week after an IR stint, but he's been ruled out for Sunday. If Judkins is active, fantasy managers might want to take a wait-and-see approach as he works back from the ankle injury. |

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 in 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 RB TreVeyon Henderson was listed as limited and practiced with the team on Thursday. Henderson suffered a high ankle sprain and had been expected to miss 'multiple weeks,' but was seen running and cutting earlier Thursday, four days after the injury.

Titans RB Tony Pollard returned to practice on Thursday as a full participant. Tennessee plays at the Colts on Sunday.

Cardinals rookie RB Jeremiyah Love was not at practice during the open portion on Thursday. Love also sat out Wednesday's practice with an ankle issue. Thursday's official injury report is due later in the afternoon.
| Footballguys view: The ankle issue is reportedly to both ankles. The rookie is a playmaker but these injuries are slowing him down. Tyler Allgeier could be tasked with doing more if Love is limited or has to miss time. |
Jeremiyah Love player page
Titans RB Tyjae Spears (knee) was downgraded to a non-participant in practice on Thursday. Spears split running back snaps nearly evenly with Tony Pollard in Sunday's loss to the Texans.
| Footballguys view: Getting downgraded in midweek is never a good sign. Spears has missed practices this year but still played on Sunday. This might be different, and it's not like Pollard needs the help. Pollard can handle a larger workload, and we like him as an RB2/flex option against the Colts in Week 6. |
Tyjae Spears player page
Steelers RB Rico Dowdle was a full participant in practice on Thursday for the first time since dislocating his toe in Week 2. Dowdle was limited on Wednesday after being inactive for Sunday's win over the Colts.
| Footballguys view: Jaylen Warren has been dynamic for the Steelers, so Dowdle is set to return to a much different role. Dowdle could be seen as a 'what the heck' flex with Warren getting a bulk of the work. |
