Vikings | Solak: Jordan Mason's 'impending return' shouldn't be underrated Tue Oct 13, 01:00 PM
ESPN's Ben Solak wrote on Tuesday that the impending return of Vikings RB Jordan Mason, described as a co-starting running back, should not be underrated. Solak said the Vikings "want to do so much more in the designed running game with Murray and in the power play-action game with Mason as a bruising back." Minnesota is on its bye in Week 6 and resumes play in Week 7.

Bengals | Tanner Hudson suffers torn pec, likely out for the season Tue Oct 13, 11:49 AM
Bengals TE Tanner Hudson suffered a torn pectoral and will likely be out for the season, his agent told ESPN on Tuesday. Hudson has been a big receiving option for QB Joe Burrow and caught a touchdown in Sunday's win over the Dolphins.
| Footballguys view: Hudson suffered the injury while trying to make a tackle on special teams in Cincinnati's 31-24 victory in Week 5. Earlier in the game, he had three catches for 14 yards and a touchdown reception. Cincinnati's other reserve tight end options include Erick All Jr. and Jack Endries, a seventh-round pick in this year's draft who has been inactive in three of the team's five games this season. |

Dolphins | Malik Willis 'not seen throwing' at Dolphins bye week practice Tue Oct 13, 10:53 AM
Dolphins QB Malik Willis was not seen throwing at the team's bye week practice on Tuesday.
| Footballguys view: Willis took snaps and handoffs and performed an easy throwing motion with the ball in hand without releasing it. The bye week day of drills is largely meant for players who have had limited playing time, so the fact that he's on the field is worth noting. That's especially true after coach Jeff Hafley gave the QB a vote of confidence when asked about Willis' job security on Monday. |

Patriots | TreVeyon Henderson out 'multiple weeks' with high ankle sprain Tue Oct 13, 10:18 AM
Patriots RB TreVeyon Henderson suffered a high ankle sprain during Sunday's win over the Raiders and is expected to miss multiple weeks, ESPN's Adam Schefter reported, citing league sources.
| Footballguys view: Henderson will not need surgery, and because he is regarded as a quick healer, the Patriots are hoping he returns "sooner rather than later." RB Corey Kiner moves up from No. 3 to No. 2 on the depth chart, with RB Lan Larison on the practice squad to fill the third spot. But Rhamondre Stevenson handled most of the backfield snaps following Henderson's departure last week. Expect that to continue. |

49ers | Brandin Cooks 'next man up' at WR with Deebo Samuel injured Tue Oct 13, 02:18 AM
49ers WR Brandin Cooks is the next man up at wide receiver with WR Deebo Samuel Sr. sidelined by a hamstring injury. Samuel is expected to miss at least a couple of weeks.
| Footballguys view: All signs point to a bigger role for Cooks, who played nearly every snap after Samuel exited and had an impressive, sliding touchdown catch to reclaim the lead in the fourth quarter of Sunday's win over Seattle. Cooks is worth adding off waivers. |

Steelers | McCarthy calls Jaylen Warren 'our featured player right now' Tue Oct 13, 01:49 AM
Steelers head coach Mike McCarthy said on Monday that RB Jaylen Warren is "our featured player right now" when asked whether a shared backfield of Warren and RB Rico Dowdle was his vision for the offense. Dowdle (toe) was inactive for Sunday's win over the Colts, in which Warren ran for 101 yards and two touchdowns and added 87 receiving yards.
| Footballguys view: The expectation entering the season was that Warren and Dowdle would split carries, with the latter potentially fitting better with who McCarthy wanted to be. But in the first five games, and especially with Dowdle out, it's clear Warren is the Steelers' best playmaker. On Sunday, he became the first player in Steelers history with a 50-yard rushing touchdown and an 80-yard receiving touchdown in the same game. On 21 touches, Warren forced five missed tackles and generated a career-high 130 yards after missed tackles. Warren is RB8 overall after five games. |

Bills | Cook runs for 111 yards, two TDs in win over Rams Tue Oct 13, 12:10 AM
Buffalo Bills RB James Cook ran 25 times for 111 yards and two touchdowns, also caught 1 pass for 7 yards on 1 target and lost 1 fumble in Monday's 37-34 win over the Los Angeles Rams. He was projected for 15.4 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 22.3.
| Footballguys view: As USA Today suggested, Cook "looked electric at times" on Monday night, breaking some long runs to go with the two touchdowns. He continued to have issues with ball security, but the Bills will apparently live with that. They never went away from him in Los Angeles, and the result was an RB4 overall finish. |

Rams | Stafford throws for 383 yards, three touchdowns in loss to Bills Tue Oct 13, 12:04 AM
Los Angeles Rams QB Matthew Stafford completed 40 of 54 passes for 383 yards with 3 touchdowns in Monday's 37-34 loss to the Buffalo Bills. He was projected for 19.4 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 27.3.
| Footballguys view: Stafford couldn't quite pull out the win, but he still left SoFi Stadium with a historic NFL milestone under his belt. Stafford threw his 150th career touchdown with the Rams in the second half. That made Stafford the first quarterback in NFL history to throw at least 150 touchdown passes with two different franchises. He also finished Week 5 as the QB6 overall. |

Bills | Allen throws for 210 yards, a touchdown in win over Rams Tue Oct 13, 12:02 AM
Buffalo Bills QB Josh Allen completed 12 of 19 passes for 210 yards with 1 touchdown and 1 interception and added 10 carries for 121 yards and another touchdown in Monday's 37-34 win over the Los Angeles Rams. He was projected for 22.6 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 29.5.
| Footballguys view: With DJ Moore and Joshua Palmer ruled out with shoulder injuries, the Bills' passing attack was muzzled for most of the game. This wasn't much of a surprise. The same sort of thing happened in the second halves against Detroit and New England without Moore. Still, with Allen's receivers consistently unable to pop open downfield, the quarterback incorporated more scrambles into his repertoire than he has since Week 2. Allen ranked fourth among all Week 5 QBs. |

Rams | Nacua catches 17 passes for 138 yards, a touchdown in loss to Bills Tue Oct 13, 12:01 AM
Los Angeles Rams WR Puka Nacua ran 2 times for 9 yards and also caught 17 passes for 138 yards and a touchdown on 24 targets in Monday's 37-34 loss to the Buffalo Bills. He was projected for 16.1 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 29.2.
| Footballguys view: Nacua set new career highs in receptions and targets, as well as a team-high figure in receiving yards. As CBSSports.com suggested, Nacua monopolized Matthew Stafford's attention even more than usual, although the one positive for the Bills' defense is that it did a solid job keeping Nacua from doing much damage after the catch. The third-year pro also recorded his first receiving touchdown of the season. His production Monday nearly made up for his two-game absence earlier in the season. The Rams have a Week 6 divisional home matchup against the Cardinals on Sunday. |

Rams | Corum runs for 19 yards, one TD, 53 receiving in loss to Bills Mon Oct 12, 11:51 PM
Los Angeles Rams RB Blake Corum ran 5 times for 19 yards and a touchdown and also caught 3 passes for 53 yards on 4 targets in Monday's 37-34 loss to the Buffalo Bills. He was projected for 6.6 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 14.7.

Browns | Browns reportedly signing Audric Estime with Quinshon Judkins 'day-to-day' Mon Oct 12, 06:15 PM
The Browns are signing RB Audric Estimé to their active roster, according to multiple reports, and will need a corresponding move to clear a 53-man roster spot.
| Footballguys view: The move comes after Browns RB Quinshon Judkins left Sunday's loss to the Jets in a walking boot; HC Todd Monken said Monday that Judkins is day-to-day but would not rule anyone out for Week 6 against the Ravens. Judkins has 73 rushing attempts this season, with Raheim Sanders (9) and Jaleel McLaughlin (2) the only other Browns running backs to carry the ball. Estimé had 46 carries for 198 yards and one touchdown in seven games with the Saints last season. |

Vikings | Kevin O'Connell on Jauan Jennings: 'I do believe his opportunities will come' Mon Oct 12, 05:56 PM
Vikings head coach Kevin O'Connell was asked on Monday about a WR room that includes Justin Jefferson, Jordan Addison, Jauan Jennings, Odell Beckham Jr., Tai Felton, Myles Price and Jeshaun Jones. O'Connell noted the group's versatility, and of WR Jauan Jennings in particular said: "I do believe his opportunities will come."

Seahawks | Zach Charbonnet estimated limited, not expected to play Thursday vs. Broncos Mon Oct 12, 04:46 PM
Seahawks RB Zach Charbonnet was estimated as limited on Monday's injury report as he continues working back from a torn ACL suffered in the 2025 postseason. The Seahawks did not practice Monday and released an estimated report ahead of Thursday's Week 6 game at Denver. Head coach Mike Macdonald has said Charbonnet is not expected to play Thursday. The team is approaching two weeks since designating Charbonnet for return, and his practice window closes in about a week and a half.

Packers | Skyy Moore's ankle injury could keep him out 'for a little bit', not season-ending Mon Oct 12, 04:30 PM
Packers WR Skyy Moore's ankle injury might keep him out "for a little bit," but it is not season-ending, head coach Matt LaFleur said on Monday. Moore was ruled out of Sunday's win over the Bears with the ankle injury and was later seen in a walking boot.
| Footballguys view: With Moore out, Bo Melton took over the slot role, making him the third receiver to play that role for the Packers after Moore went down. WR Jayden Reed (still on IR) and Savion Williams were previously ruled out. WR J. Michael Sturdivant saw the vast majority of his snaps on Sunday as an outside receiver. Williams could return soon, but Christian Watson, Matthew Golden, and Tucker Kraft will continue to dominate the targets regardless of who the WR3 is. |

Bears | Ben Johnson won't commit to Bagent as backup: 'three guys that can win games' Mon Oct 12, 04:20 PM
Bears head coach Ben Johnson did not commit to QB Tyson Bagent as the starter if QB Caleb Williams (hamstring) can't play this week against the Falcons.
| Footballguys view: Asked on Monday whether Bagent is still the QB2, Johnson said, "We have three guys that can win games in this league." Bagent was benched during Sunday's 31-7 loss to the Packers after throwing for 87 yards. He was replaced by Case Keenum, who didn't fare any better. Ideally, Williams returns, and the QB2 isn't an issue. |

Cardinals | Marvin Harrison Jr. trade terms updated, Cardinals get 2027 second- and seventh-round picks Mon Oct 12, 04:11 PM
The terms of Sunday's trade that sent WR Marvin Harrison Jr. from the Cardinals to the Texans have been updated. Houston receives Harrison and a 2027 sixth-round pick, while Arizona receives a 2027 second-round pick and a 2027 seventh-round pick, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport and ESPN's Adam Schefter reported.

49ers | Deebo Samuel expected to miss 'at least a couple of weeks' with hamstring injury Mon Oct 12, 03:31 PM
49ers WR Deebo Samuel Sr. is expected to miss "at least a couple of weeks" with the hamstring injury he suffered Sunday in Seattle, head coach Kyle Shanahan told reporters on Monday. Samuel is one of several injured 49ers receivers, with Ricky Pearsall out for the season and De'Zhaun Stribling out at least 10 weeks, while Christian Kirk and Demarcus Robinson remain on injured reserve.
| Footballguys view: Samuel left Sunday's win over the Seahawks and did not return, and was set to undergo an MRI on Monday. With Samuel out, the team leaned heavily on Mike Evans, who dominated Seattle's defense in the fourth quarter. Assuming an extended absence for Samuel, the team will need Jacob Cowing, Brandin Cooks, and Jordan Watkins to move up in the rotation behind Evans. |

Eagles | Sirianni 'hopeful' DeVonta Smith can return this week Mon Oct 12, 03:27 PM
Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni said on Monday that he is "hopeful" WR DeVonta Smith (hamstring) can return this week.
| Footballguys view: Not surprisingly, Sirianni did not want to commit to anything early in the week. Smith missed Sunday's game against the Jaguars. Smith was making an impact as the No. 1 target for Philadelphia and as a playmaker Jalen Hurts could rely on. Smith had 235 receiving yards before his injury in Week 4, a team high. His absence has been a significant blow to the Eagles' offense. We'll be watching his progress again this week. |

Falcons | Michael Penix Jr.'s rib injury 'not considered serious', could play vs. Bears Mon Oct 12, 03:13 PM
Falcons QB Michael Penix Jr.'s rib injury is not considered serious. Penix might be able to play in Sunday's Week 6 game against the Bears, but the team wants to be cautious and see him practice this week before determining whether he will be able to play.
| Footballguys view: Penix said he expects to be "ready to go [this] week" after leaving Sunday's loss to the Ravens, and QB Tua Tagovailoa finished the game in overtime. Penix is obviously the preferred option. We'll continue to monitor his progress throughout the week. |

Saints | Jordyn Tyson will not practice this week, Kellen Moore says Mon Oct 12, 02:54 PM
Saints rookie WR Jordyn Tyson will not practice this week, head coach Kellen Moore said on Monday. Tyson is on injured reserve and was previously described as 'weeks away' from a return, with Week 7 the earliest target.
| Footballguys view: With Tyson sidelined, Devaughn Vele has emerged as a legitimate fantasy play. Vele is currently the WR22 overall with an average of 12.4 points per game. Expect Vele to remain viable for our purposes until Tyson returns. |

Dolphins | Hafley: 'Malik is our quarterback,' no thought of benching Willis Mon Oct 12, 02:53 PM
Dolphins head coach Jeff Hafley said Monday there is no thought of benching QB Malik Willis at this point. "We've played five games, and Malik is our quarterback," Hafley said.
| Footballguys view: Sunday was Willis' 11th career start, so it's fair to say he's still developing at this level. According to ESPN.com's Marcel Louis-Jacques, Willis' willingness to extend every play for as long as he can doesn't always help the QB's cause. At the same time, his receivers struggled to create separation, and the offense doesn't seem comfortable when Willis is buying time. There was an expected learning curve this season, but the Dolphins enter the Week 6 bye with little to hang their hats on from the first month. Nonetheless, Hafley plans to stay the course. |

Browns | Quinshon Judkins 'day-to-day' with ankle tweak Mon Oct 12, 02:02 PM
Browns RB Quinshon Judkins had "a little tweak" in his ankle and is day-to-day, head coach Todd Monken said on Monday.
| Footballguys view: Judkins left the stadium in a walking boot after Sunday's loss to the Jets. The day-to-day outlook is a positive for the Browns. Backup Raheim Sanders suffered a hip injury in this game, and Jaleel McLaughlin is the only other running back on the active roster. Dylan Sampson is eligible to come off injured reserve after being placed there following Week 1 due to a knee injury, but he was expected to miss significant time and won't be back for Week 6. We'll be following up on Judkins throughout the week as the Browns prepare to face the Ravens. |

Vikings | T.J. Hockenson 'feeling pretty good' but in concussion protocol Mon Oct 12, 02:00 PM
Vikings TE T.J. Hockenson is in the concussion protocol, head coach Kevin O'Connell said on Monday. O'Connell said Hockenson is "feeling pretty good today," and the team will monitor him throughout the bye.
| Footballguys view: With backup TE Josh Oliver (torn biceps muscle) on injured reserve, the Vikings played the rest of Sunday's game with two backups: Gavin Bartholomew and Ben Yurosek, who was activated from injured reserve this weekend. That's not ideal so that the bye couldn't have come at a better time for Hockenson and the Vikings. |

Panthers | Jalen Coker 'on track' but has 'big days of practice' ahead Mon Oct 12, 01:30 PM
Panthers head coach Dave Canales said on Monday that WR Jalen Coker (quad) is "on track" but has a couple of big days of practice ahead of him this week.
| Footballguys view: Carolina visits the Eagles on Sunday in Week 6. Coker was considered unlikely to play against the Lions before sitting out Week 4 due to the quad injury. His absence wasn't a huge factor against the Lions, but getting Coker back this week would be a huge plus for Bryce Young and the passing attack. |

Texans | DeMeco Ryans says Woody Marks 'will carry the load' while Montgomery is out Mon Oct 12, 12:27 PM
Texans head coach DeMeco Ryans said on Monday that RB Woody Marks will replace RB David Montgomery while Montgomery works his way back from a groin injury. "Dynamic, will carry the load for us," Ryans said of what Marks does for the offense.
| Footballguys view: Montgomery is considered week to week due to his injury. As Footballguy Sigmund Bloom suggested Sunday, Marks will be a priority pickup heading into a tough game against division-leading Jacksonville in London this week. The Texans' running game has been ineffective so far this season, but it has been even less effective with Montgomery in. |

Texans | David Montgomery 'week to week' with groin injury Mon Oct 12, 12:25 PM
Texans RB David Montgomery is "week to week" with a groin injury, coach DeMeco Ryans said on Monday. "Week to week, see how he continues to progress," Ryans said.
| Footballguys view: Montgomery was ruled out of Sunday's win over the Titans after suffering the injury, finishing with 11 yards on five carries. We'll continue to watch for more on Montgomery while Woody Marks moves into the lead role in the veteran's absence. |

Patriots | TreVeyon Henderson undergoing MRI to determine time missed Mon Oct 12, 12:12 PM
Patriots RB TreVeyon Henderson (ankle) is having an MRI to determine whether he will miss time, and how much.

With Henderson sidelined, Rhamondre Stevenson saw the majority of the backfield snaps, while Corey Kiner mixed in but fumbled his first touch. We'll learn more about Henderson's status for the team's Week 6 game against the Jets, but expect a lot of Stevenson in this one, even if Henderson is available. |

Eagles | Will Shipley suffers partial plantar fascia tear, could miss 'multiple weeks' Mon Oct 12, 11:13 AM
Eagles RB Will Shipley suffered a partial tear of his plantar fascia during Sunday's loss to the Jaguars and could be sidelined multiple weeks.
| Footballguys view: RB Saquon Barkley is dealing with a hamstring injury, and RB Tank Bigsby is on injured reserve, leaving the Eagles in a bind at the position. After Shipley was injured on Sunday, Dameon Pierce was the only healthy running back available. The Eagles play at home against the Panthers on Sunday. With four teams on bye this week, Pierce is a target of opportunity for fantasy managers. |

49ers | Deebo Samuel to undergo MRI on hamstring Mon Oct 12, 09:05 AM
49ers WR Deebo Samuel Sr. will have an MRI on his hamstring. Samuel was ruled out of Sunday's win over the Seahawks with the hamstring injury after catching two passes for 21 yards. Rapoport described it as "another injury to another standout WR" for San Francisco.
| Footballguys view: Rapoport went on to suggest that the fact that the 49ers ruled Samuel out of Sunday's game immediately isn't a good sign. If Samuel ends up sitting out Week 6 against the Commanders next Monday, the 49ers would be left with Mike Evans, Brandin Cooks, Jacob Cowing, and Jordan Watkins as their healthy options at receiver. |

Browns | Isaiah Bond steps into KC Concepcion's role after injury, ties for team-high 7 targets Mon Oct 12, 08:54 AM
Browns WR Isaiah Bond played as the WR3 in Sunday's 17-12 loss to the Jets but stepped into WR KC Concepcion's role after Concepcion's injury. Bond tied for the team lead with seven targets. WR Jerry Jeudy played as the WR2.
| Footballguys view: Bond, who entered the game with two catches on two targets, caught three passes for a team-high 74 yards. He also had a critical drop late in the game. Still, if Concepcion doesn't clear the protocol in time to play against the Ravens on Sunday, Bond will likely be busy again. |

Broncos | J.K. Dobbins 'easily out-paced' RJ Harvey in snaps as Payton returns to play-calling Mon Oct 12, 08:38 AM
Broncos RB J.K. Dobbins "easily out-paced" RB RJ Harvey in offensive snaps in Sunday's win over the Chargers, head coach Sean Payton's return to calling plays. Harvey was held to 7 yards on 3 carries in the game.
| Footballguys view: That said, Pro Football Focus notes that Harvey took 100% of two-minute drill snaps, giving him more playing time than last year and Tyler Badie less. Harvey has played 76.9% of two-minute drill snaps this season. But Dobbins was the clear workhorse, carrying the ball 18 times for 68 yards and a touchdown. The Broncos play the Seahawks on Thursday night this week. Expect Dobbins to continue leading the way on the ground. |

Steelers | Roman Wilson expected to miss 'a couple of weeks' with finger injury Mon Oct 12, 06:48 AM
Steelers WR Roman Wilson is expected to miss a couple of weeks due to a finger injury suffered on Sunday against the Colts. Wilson is still gathering information on the injury and seeking a second opinion. He was ruled out of Sunday's game after suffering the injury and finished without a catch.
| Footballguys view: With Michael Pittman Jr. on IR, Wilson's injury will open the door to more playing time for rookie Germie Bernard, who gained Aaron Rodgers' confidence during the week leading up to this game with his command of the details of the offense, and he showed that he can be a load-bearing part of this passing game. Bernard is worth a pickup, especially in PPR leagues, but his ceiling is relatively low, so don't spend too much on him. |

Patriots | Efton Chism III plays career-high 57 snaps as 'top Mack Hollins replacement' Mon Oct 12, 06:45 AM
Patriots WR Efton Chism III played a career-high 57 offensive snaps against the Raiders on Sunday as the top replacement for injured WR Mack Hollins.
| Footballguys view: New England ran 75 offensive snaps, one week after running 76, well above its 2025 average of 68.5, and Drake Maye had another "lights out" game. But beyond all that, Chism delivered five receptions and 57 yards on six targets (a team high) against the Raiders. While A.J. Brown will return at some point soon, receivers like Chism, DeMario Douglas, and Kyle Williams will continue to get opportunities. |

Bengals | Samaje Perine on the field for half of Cincinnati's plays Mon Oct 12, 05:42 AM
Bengals RB Chase Brown played 60% of the offensive snaps and RB Samaje Perine played 51% in Sunday's 31-24 win over the Dolphins.
| Footballguys view: The two backs were on the field together for seven plays. Cincinnati leaned on heavy tight end personnel while running a four-minute offense with the lead for much of the second half. Perine spearheaded the rushing attack with 14 carries for 68 yards. Chase Brown also found some success after a rough couple of weeks. The Bengals are off Week 6, so we'll have to wait to see if this timeshare persists. |

Falcons | Michael Penix Jr. to undergo imaging Monday, expects to be 'ready to go next week' Mon Oct 12, 01:10 AM
Falcons QB Michael Penix Jr. will undergo further imaging on Monday after injuring his ribs on a big hit in the final moments of regulation in Sunday night's overtime loss to the Ravens. He does not believe the injury will keep him out long term: "Knowing me, I am going to be ready to go next week because I've sat out enough in my career."
| Footballguys view: Penix tried to work through the pain on the sideline but could not return for overtime, saying, "I did not feel like I was going to be able to give our team what we needed to be able to win that football game because of the pain that I was feeling." Tua Tagovailoa replaced Penix and threw an interception two plays into Atlanta's final drive. |

Texans | LaFleur on Harrison trade: 'in the best interest of this club'; Brooks penciled in at 'X' Mon Oct 12, 12:38 AM
The Cardinals traded WR Marvin Harrison Jr. to the Texans around kickoff of Sunday's 45-21 loss to the Lions, receiving second- and sixth-round picks while Houston got Harrison and a sixth-round pick. "I just thought it was in the best interest of this club. I'm not going to totally get into that right now. I really like Marvin Harrison. He's a good person. I wish him well," Cardinals head coach Mike LaFleur said after the game, adding, "I'm going to keep the details tight with us."
| Footballguys view: Harrison had five receptions for 85 yards and a touchdown on 13 targets in four games this season and reunites with his former college quarterback, C.J. Stroud, in Houston. Cardinals WR Jalen Brooks is being penciled in at Harrison's 'X' receiver spot in Arizona. |
