  Texans | Marvin Harrison Jr. expected to play 15-20 snaps in Texans debut    Sun Oct 18, 09:32 AM

Texans WR Marvin Harrison Jr. is expected to play 15-20 plays in his Texans debut against the Jaguars on Sunday, according to the game broadcast. That number could go up if Harrison is "rolling and comfortable." Harrison was officially active for the game, and earlier in the week he was described as set to play and be involved but "not a full workload yet."

  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 | Deebo Samuel ruled out for Week 6 vs. Commanders    Sat Oct 17, 04:55 PM

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.

  49ers | Shanahan says it's 'possible' Christian Kirk is activated for Monday    Sat Oct 17, 04:54 PM

49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said on Saturday that it's possible WR Christian Kirk will be activated from injured reserve for Monday's game against the Commanders, but he did not tip his hand on the plan. Kirk, who has been designated to return from a calf injury, is listed as questionable on the 49ers' final injury report. He was on the field and listed as limited on Thursday.

  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.

  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.

49ers WR Mike Evans did not practice on Friday, his second straight missed session. Evans, who is dealing with a ribs injury, is still expected to suit up on game day even without practicing, and that is likely to be his pattern this season. The 49ers host the Commanders on Monday night.

  Bills | DJ Moore in non-contact jersey Friday, 'exact cadence' as week he sat    Fri Oct 16, 04:30 PM

Bills WR DJ Moore (shoulder) practiced in a non-contact jersey on Friday at UC Irvine. It is "the exact cadence of practices as last week for Moore, and he wound up sitting." Moore was ruled out for Monday night's game against the Rams. Every member of the Bills' roster, both 53-man and practice squad, was on the field in some capacity on Friday.

Footballguys view: The Bills have a bye next week, and all signs point to Moore getting another week of rest after breaking his five-year Ironman streak last week. He'll be in the conversation as a high-end WR2 when he returns, and Dalton Kincaid, Khalil Shakir, and Keon Coleman are all boom-or-bust starts while he's out. If he somehow plays this week, the risk of reinjury will be high, putting him in WR3 territory.

  Cowboys | CeeDee Lamb full again Friday, no designation for Week 6    Fri Oct 16, 04:28 PM

Cowboys WR CeeDee Lamb (thigh) was a full participant in practice again on Friday and does not carry an injury designation for Sunday night's game at the Packers. Lamb has been dealing with a quad bruise.

Footballguys view: Lamb left Week 5's game early with a thigh bruise after struggling to get on the same page with Dak Prescott. Don't think of that game as anything more than a blip on an otherwise fantastic career. Get Lamb in your lineup as an elite WR1 this week against the Packers.

  Eagles | DeVonta Smith 'good to go' for Sunday vs. Panthers    Fri Oct 16, 04:06 PM

Eagles WR DeVonta Smith (hamstring) is good to go for Sunday's game against the Panthers, per the team's Friday injury report. Smith had been upgraded to limited practice on Thursday and practiced again on Friday.

Footballguys view: It's good to see Smith back out there after missing a couple of games. But he'll return to a Tanner McKee-led offense without Lane Johnson or Cam Jurgens. With a healthy Jalen Hurts and a full set of weapons, Smith would have been a back-end WR1, but this week's outlook puts him closer to WR3 territory.

  Eagles | Dontayvion Wicks playing Sunday vs. Panthers    Fri Oct 16, 04:05 PM

Eagles WR Dontayvion Wicks (hamstring) is playing in Sunday's game against the Panthers. Wicks was limited in practice on Wednesday and missed practice on Thursday.

Footballguys view: With Tanner McKee getting the start, Wicks is a shaky Week 6 starter. DeVonta Smith is also likely to return, capping any appeal Wicks might have had. If Smith can't go, Wicks has some value as a desperation flex, but that would require an unlikely setback for Smith. The Eagles could struggle in this game with a revamped offensive line, a backup quarterback, and no Saquon Barkley.

  49ers | Mike Evans doing 'some work on the side' at Friday practice    Fri Oct 16, 04:05 PM

49ers WR Mike Evans (ribs, Achilles) was doing some work on the side during the early open portion of practice on Friday. Evans did not practice on Thursday.

Footballguys view: Evans has played through this rib injury for the last two weeks, but the Achilles injury is new. Evans is a tough player and regularly suits up through injury. With the 49ers playing Monday night, though, fantasy managers will want some certainty. Brandin Cooks and Antonio Williams would be the most likely to be available on the waiver wire if you're looking for a same-game pivot. But if we don't get clarity before Sunday's kickoff, managers may be better off starting their best option.

  Packers | Skyy Moore ruled out for Sunday night vs. Cowboys    Fri Oct 16, 03:56 PM

Packers WR Skyy Moore (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday night's game against the Cowboys. Moore missed practice on both Wednesday and Thursday this week. The Packers are thin at wideout with Moore out and Jayden Reed's season over due to a neck injury.

Footballguys view: Skyy Moore had a chance at a larger role after Jayden Reed got injured. But now Moore is managing his own injury while Savion Williams nears a return. Moore is droppable in almost all formats.

  Packers | Savion Williams questionable, must be activated from IR to play vs. Cowboys    Fri Oct 16, 03:56 PM

Packers WR Savion Williams (ankle) is questionable for Sunday night's game against the Cowboys. Williams is on injured reserve and must be added to the active roster to play; he has practiced in a limited capacity since the Packers opened his 21-day practice window on Oct. 7. Green Bay is thin at wideout with Skyy Moore ruled out and Jayden Reed's season over due to a neck injury. "I think where he's grown the most is his route-running ability. He's worked really hard at it," head coach Matt LaFleur said of Williams on Wednesday.

Footballguys view: Williams is a fun player who can do a lot after the catch and fill the role Reed's injury vacated. He's worth stashing in dynasty and deep leagues, but he doesn't belong in a fantasy lineup yet, even if he's activated for Week 6.

Ravens rookie WR Ja'Kobi Lane is questionable for Sunday's game at the Browns after full participation in practice all week. Lane is likely to be activated off injured reserve on Saturday.

Footballguys view: It's good to see Lane back at practice, but he'll need to prove he's ready for NFL play before we can trust him in lineups. He's a great stash, but take a wait-and-see approach with this rookie.

Ravens WR Zay Flowers is "good to go" for Sunday's game at the Browns despite limited practices this week, per the team's final injury report released Friday. Flowers had been added to the injury report on Thursday with a toe injury and was practicing Friday.

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.

Chargers WR Quentin Johnston (chest) is off the injury report and set to play in Sunday's Week 6 game at the Chiefs. Johnston was ruled out of the Week 5 game against the Broncos with the chest injury.

Footballguys view: Johnston has put together a disappointing Year 4 so far, averaging just 27 scoreless yards per game before picking up this chest injury. He'll be back out there on Sunday and only needs one big play to make his day. But he's in break-glass-in-case-of-emergency territory until the Chargers can look like a legitimate NFL team.

  Steelers | DK Metcalf questionable for Week 6 at Buccaneers    Fri Oct 16, 03:20 PM

Steelers WR DK Metcalf is listed as questionable with an illness for Sunday's Week 6 game at the Buccaneers.

Footballguys view: Metcalf has about 48 hours to rest up and pump some fluids before Sunday's kickoff. The Steelers kick off early, so if Metcalf can't go, fantasy managers will have plenty of pivot options. Rookie Germie Bernard had a solid Week 5 and could get even more work if Metcalf can't go.

  Chargers | Tre' Harris ruled out for Week 6 at Chiefs    Fri Oct 16, 03:12 PM

Chargers WR Tre' Harris has been ruled out for Sunday's Week 6 game at the Chiefs, the team announced on Friday.

Footballguys view: Harris missed all week of practice with a hamstring injury. There was hope he could step up with Ladd McConkey and Quentin Johnston out, but an injury quickly derailed that plan. McConkey and Johnston are both back now, and Harris will likely return to a full receiver room when he's healthy.

  Chargers | Ladd McConkey has no injury designation for Week 6 at Chiefs    Fri Oct 16, 03:12 PM

Chargers WR Ladd McConkey has no injury designation for Sunday's Week 6 game at the Chiefs. McConkey was limited in Wednesday's practice with a foot injury, after being active but not expected to play meaningful snaps in Sunday's loss to the Broncos.

Footballguys view: McConkey was active last week but didn't log any snaps. Fantasy managers felt that sting last week and may worry about another similar situation this week. But a full practice on Friday suggests he'll be active and should play. We only saw a flash of healthy McConkey this year before a rib injury in Week 1. This foot injury followed the rib injury, and he's been a fantasy liability since. This is the first week you can confidently put McConkey back in your lineup at WR3. We understand, though, if you'd like to take a week to see it before moving him up from the bench.

Footballguys view: It's good to see Diggs back out there after a DNP to start the week. He'll have another practice Saturday before Monday Night Football. We should have more information on his availability after that practice, but Diggs is trending in the right direction.

Chiefs WR Rashee Rice (right hamstring) is out for Sunday's game against the Chargers, head coach Andy Reid said on Friday. Rice had missed practice on Wednesday and Thursday. Reid also ruled out Josh Simmons (bulging disc in lower back) for Sunday.

Footballguys view: There was hope Rice could return after the bye, but he didn't log a single practice this week before being ruled out. The Chiefs will hope to welcome him back next week against the Seahawks, but he'll need to return to practice before we can speculate. In Rice's absence, Jalen Royals should be more involved than normal. But expect the Chiefs' offense to concentrate further on Ken Walker III, Travis Kelce, and Xavier Worthy.

Saints WR Chris Olave (illness) is questionable to play in Sunday's Week 6 game against the Giants. Olave was among three Saints players who were sick on Wednesday and was not seen at practice again on Thursday.

Footballguys view: A sickness was reported to be spreading through the Saints' locker room before last week's kickoff, and Olave seems to have caught it. After missing practice on Wednesday and Thursday, he returned Friday, albeit in a limited capacity. He's trending toward playing, but check back Sunday morning to confirm.

  Patriots | A.J. Brown questionable for Sunday vs. Jets    Fri Oct 16, 01:32 PM

Patriots WR A.J. Brown (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Jets, head coach Mike Vrabel said on Friday. Brown was on the field as Friday's practice got underway.

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.

And I think those (situations) happen," Steichen said. "I got a lot of respect for him, what he's done in this league. And I wish him the best going forward."

Footballguys view: If Slayton can't crack the Colts' barren roster, it could be the end of his road. The Colts have one of the league's worst receiver rooms and will likely seek extra firepower as the trade deadline nears.

Browns rookie WR KC Concepcion Jr. has cleared the concussion protocol and will play in Sunday's Week 6 game against the Ravens. Concepcion carries no game status for the matchup.

Footballguys view: Concussion protocol typically gives a red or green light on a player's availability. With Concepcion cleared, he'll be out there Sunday with no limitations. He's taken a back seat to fellow rookie Denzel Boston, but still has usage as a WR3, especially in PPR leagues.
