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. |

49ers | Dre Greenlaw suspended one game for headbutting helmetless Ernest Jones IV Mon Oct 12, 02:03 PM
The NFL has suspended 49ers LB Dre Greenlaw for one game for headbutting Seahawks LB Ernest Jones IV, who was not wearing a helmet, during Sunday's win over Seattle.
| Footballguys view: Greenlaw, who was ejected for the incident, has the option to appeal; if he does not, he will miss the Week 6 Monday night matchup with the Commanders. It is Greenlaw's second career suspension, after a one-game ban in 2025 for verbally threatening a referee, and his third career ejection. |

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. |

Packers | Micah Parsons not expected to return to practice this week, hope remains for October Mon Oct 12, 01:30 PM
The Packers are not anticipating that DE Micah Parsons will return to practice this week as they prepare for Sunday night's Week 6 game against the Cowboys.
| Footballguys view: There is still uncertainty about exactly when Parsons will return from his knee injury, but the hope remains that it will be this month. We'll be watching for more. |

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: Mongtomery is considered week to week due to his injur. 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.
| Footballguys view: Henderson was ruled out of Sunday's win over the Raiders after leaving with the ankle injury. 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. |

Browns | Carson Schwesinger has Grade 1 ankle sprain, 'not ruled out' for this week Mon Oct 12, 11:47 AM
Browns LB Carson Schwesinger suffered a Grade 1 ankle sprain in Sunday's loss to the Jets.
| Footballguys view: Schwesinger left the stadium in a walking boot after Sunday's game. He is not ruled out for Week 6 against the Ravens, though his availability depends on how he responds. |

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. |

Packers | Javon Hargrave suffered a torn Achilles Mon Oct 12, 09:29 AM
Packers DT Javon Hargrave suffered a torn Achilles. Early indications on Sunday had pointed to an Achilles injury.
| Footballguys view: Hargrave, 33, signed with the Packers in the offseason. A third-round pick of the Steelers in the 2016 draft, he has spent four years in Pittsburgh, three in Philadelphia, two in San Francisco, and one in Minnesota. Last Sunday, linebacker Edgerrin Cooper was lost for the year with a torn Achilles tendon. The Packers have struggled to slow opposing ball carriers this season. These injuries won't help short that weakness up. |

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. |

Baltimore Ravens RB Derrick Henry ran 24 times for 102 yards and also caught 1 pass for 18 yards and a touchdown on 2 targets in Sunday's 30-23 win over the Atlanta Falcons. He was projected for 15.9 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 18.5.

Seahawks | Seahawks 'not planning' on activating Zach Charbonnet from PUP for Week 6 Sun Oct 11, 09:08 PM
Seahawks RB Zach Charbonnet (knee) is not currently expected to be activated from the PUP list for Week 6, head coach Mike Macdonald said on Sunday.
| Footballguys view: Macdonald did not completely rule Charbonnet out for Thursday's game at the Broncos, but said that as of now the team is not planning on activating him. With Jadarian Price on IR, Emanuel Wilson is handling the lead role in Seattle's backfield. Wilson is the RB4 over the last two weeks, averaging 21.1 points per game. |

49ers | Samuel held to 2 catches for 21 yards in win over Seahawks Sun Oct 11, 07:46 PM
San Francisco 49ers WR Deebo Samuel Sr. ran 2 times for 4 yards, also caught 2 passes for 21 yards on 3 targets and lost 1 fumble in Sunday's 32-29 win over the Seattle Seahawks. He was projected for 10.0 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 1.5.
| Footballguys view: Samuel was ruled out of the game in the third quarter with a hamstring injury after he stepped awkwardly when trying to get around the corner. Wide receiver Jacob Cowing was also slowed by an ankle injury, leaving the team with Mke Evans, Brandin Cooks, and Jordan Watkins as the only healthy wide receivers on the field for the rest of the game. The 49ers have a Week 8 bye. Don't be surprised if Samuel is out at least until Week 9. |

Seahawks | Smith-Njigba catches 5 passes for 102 yards, a touchdown in loss to 49ers Sun Oct 11, 07:46 PM
Seattle Seahawks WR Jaxon Smith-Njigba ran 1 time for 16 yards and also caught 5 passes for 102 yards and a touchdown on 8 targets in Sunday's 32-29 loss to the San Francisco 49ers. He was projected for 19.3 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 20.3.
| Footballguys view: Smith-Njigba took himself out of the game in the first quarter after taking a hard fall following a catch. He appeared to roll his ankle on the play and returned to action with the ankle heavily wrapped. It didn't appear to slow him down as he surpassed 100 receiving yards for the fourth time in five games. But Smith-Njigba's status will be worth watching this week. The Seahawks have a short turnaround to a Thursday night game against the Broncos. |
Jaxon Smith-Njigba player page
49ers | Evans catches 7 passes for 113 yards, a touchdown in win over Seahawks Sun Oct 11, 07:46 PM
San Francisco 49ers WR Mike Evans caught 7 passes for 113 yards and a touchdown on 10 targets in Sunday's 32-29 win over the Seattle Seahawks. He was projected for 10.2 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 20.8.
| Footballguys view: With Deebo Samuel (hamstring) sidelined and Jacob Cowing missing time with an ankle injury, it was Brock Purdy and Evans who moved the ball in the fourth quarter to secure the victory over Seattle. As NFL.com suggested, "Evans was Mr. Clutch." The big-bodied receiver repeatedly found himself the target of Purdy passes, with five of those catches coming on tight windows (less than one yard of separation), per Next Gen Stats. No other Niners player had more than 24 yards receiving. Evans is a dangerous threat paired with Purdy. Expect more of the same against the Commanders on Monday night in Week 6. |

Arizona Cardinals TE Teagan Quitoriano caught 2 passes for 15 yards and two touchdowns on 2 targets in Sunday's 45-21 loss to the Detroit Lions. He finished with 14.5 fantasy points (half-PPR) without a projection.

Cardinals | Love held to 22 yards on 12 carries in loss to Lions Sun Oct 11, 07:31 PM
Arizona Cardinals RB Jeremiyah Love ran 12 times for 22 yards in Sunday's 45-21 loss to the Detroit Lions. He was projected for 11.7 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 2.2.
| Footballguys view: Sunday's game was the third time in the past four weeks that Love has been held to single-digit scores. As ESPN.com notes, his underlying metrics were poor (5-for-12 stuffed at or behind the line, minus-21 rushing yards over expectation). With the Rams up next and a strong backup in Tyler Allgeier challenging for carries, Love has much to prove before he becomes a lineup lock for fantasy managers. |

Lions | Gibbs runs for 151 yards, two TDs, 56 receiving in win over Cardinals Sun Oct 11, 07:31 PM
Detroit Lions RB Jahmyr Gibbs ran 25 times for 151 yards and two touchdowns and also caught 5 passes for 56 yards on 6 targets in Sunday's 45-21 win over the Arizona Cardinals. He was projected for 23.3 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 35.2.
| Footballguys view: With a 3-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter, Gibbs has scored the most touchdowns before the age of 25 in NFL history. He now has 58, surpassing Hall of Famer Barry Sanders, who scored 57 before turning 25. Also, of Gibbs' 6.0 yards per carry in Arizona, 3.7 yards per carry came after contact, his season high. Gibbs forced 10 missed tackles on rushes -- tied for his season high -- generating 48 yards on missed tackles, also a season high. The Lions will be off Week 6, so Gibbs' managers need to be ready to roll without him. |

Lions | Goff throws for 271 yards, three touchdowns in win over Cardinals Sun Oct 11, 07:31 PM
Detroit Lions QB Jared Goff completed 19 of 30 passes for 271 yards with 3 touchdowns and ran 1 time for 1 yard and a touchdown in Sunday's 45-21 win over the Arizona Cardinals. He was projected for 20.6 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 28.9.
| Footballguys view: With his three-passing-touchdown, zero-interception performance in Week 5, Goff now has 12 passing touchdowns and no giveaways through the first five games of the 2026 season. He is the first player in NFL history to have 12-plus passing touchdowns and no giveaways through their team's first five games of the season. He was also the QB1 overall with an average of 23 points per game through Sunday's late afternoon window. The Lions are off in Week 6. They return to play the Packers in Week 7. |

Cardinals | Brissett throws for 292 yards, three touchdowns in loss to Lions Sun Oct 11, 07:31 PM
Arizona Cardinals QB Jacoby Brissett completed 29 of 47 passes for 292 yards with 3 touchdowns and 1 interception and also caught 1 pass for 7 yards on 1 target in Sunday's 45-21 loss to the Detroit Lions. He was projected for 18.8 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 25.8.
| Footballguys view: With an inconsistent and, at times, non-existent running game, NFL.com argues the Cardinals offense has essentially been reduced to a chuck-and-pray attack as Brissett attempted more than 45 passes for a second time in three weeks. That's not horrible for fantasy investors, but it's fair to wonder about Brissett's job security as the losses mount. A possible positive? The trade of Marvin Harrison Jr. to the Texans will narrow the funnel for Trey McBride, Michael Wilson, and Kendrick Bourne. |

WR Tre' Harris held to 2 catches for 16 yards in loss to Broncos Sun Oct 11, 07:21 PM
Los Angeles Chargers WR Tre Harris caught 2 passes for 16 yards on 4 targets in Sunday's 23-17 loss to the Denver Broncos. He was projected for 9.9 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 2.6.
| Footballguys view: Harris suffered a hamstring injury during the third quarter and did not return to the game. The team was already struggling at the position. Quentin Johnston was out with a chest injury, and Ladd McConkey was active, but only because the team has too many injured players for their inactive spots. With a Week 6 game against the Chiefs coming, veteran Marquez Valdes-Scantling, return specialist Derius Davis, and tight ends Oronde Gadsden, Charlie Kolar, and Hayden Rucci, who scored on a 7-yard catch in the third quarter, will have to help fill the void. |

49ers | Deebo Samuel ruled out for remainder of game vs. Seahawks Sun Oct 11, 06:50 PM
49ers WR Deebo Samuel Sr. has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Seahawks with a hamstring injury. Samuel had been getting his right hamstring worked on along the sideline earlier in the game.
| Footballguys view: Samuel had been a big part of the 49ers offense after injuries forced the team to re-sign him during camp and then pushed him into a central role during the season. The 49ers play Washington on Monday night next week, but we don't expect Samuel to be available. The 49ers have a Week 8 bye, so we may not see Samuel until Week 9 - if he can avoid injured reserve. |

Chargers | Tre' Harris questionable to return with hamstring injury Sun Oct 11, 06:06 PM
Chargers WR Tre' Harris is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Broncos due to a hamstring injury.
| Footballguys view: Harris didn't return and finished the game with two catches for 16 yards on four targets. Quentin Johnston was out with a chest injury and Ladd McConkey was active, but only because the team has too many injured players for their inactive spots. The Chargers passing game is in shambles heading into a rough road game at Arrowhead Stadium. Harris can be dropped if you picked him up because of the opportunity he was going to have as the team's leading receiver this week. |

Browns | Quinshon Judkins leaves stadium in right walking boot after loss to Jets Sun Oct 11, 06:05 PM
Browns RB Quinshon Judkins left Sunday's loss to the Jets in a right walking boot. No details on the nature of the injury were provided.
| Footballguys view: Backup running back Raheim Sanders suffered a hip injury in this game. Jaleel McLaughlin is the only other running back on the active roster, but the team does have Jaret Patterson on the practice squad. 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. Look for the Browns to make a move at running back if they are worried about Judkins' availability in the near future. |

Packers | Skyy Moore injured, in walking boot; Bo Melton takes over slot Sun Oct 11, 05:16 PM
Packers WR Skyy Moore went down with an injury in Sunday's win over the Bears and was seen wearing a walking boot after the game.
| Footballguys view: WR 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. |

Daniels throws for 199 yards in ltie with Giants Sun Oct 11, 04:51 PM
Washington Commanders QB Jayden Daniels completed 17 of 25 passes for 199 yards and ran 9 times for 103 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 27-27 tie with the New York Giants. He was projected for 18.2 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 30.3.
| Footballguys view: Daniels broke free for two long touchdown runs to reward any fantasy teams that decided to play him even though the game was forecast to be wet and his #1 receiver Terry McLaurin was a game-time decision. This was a worry because Daniels was wearing a brace on his injured left elbow and concern that he could re-injure the problem joint. He'll face a resurgent 49ers defense on Monday in Week 6 as a boom/bust QB1. |

Likely catches 11 passes for 94 yards, two touchdowns in tie with Commanders Sun Oct 11, 04:51 PM
New York Giants TE Isaiah Likely caught 11 passes for 94 yards and two touchdowns on 13 targets in Sunday's 27-27 tie with the Washington Commanders. He was projected for 9.8 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 26.9.
| Footballguys view: Likely was the clear focus of the game plan as a short range target in a callback to Week 1 when he posted an 8-78-2 line against the Cowboys. This could be a week to remember for other reasons if you have Likely, however, because he limped off late in the game. We'll be watching the practice reports to see what Likely's status will be for a Week 6 home game against the Saints. |

Winston throws for 326 yards, three touchdowns in tie with Commanders Sun Oct 11, 04:51 PM
New York Giants QB Jameis Winston completed 33 of 54 passes for 326 yards with 3 touchdowns, ran 5 times for 27 yards and lost 1 fumble in Sunday's 27-27 tie with the Washington Commanders. He was projected for 13.0 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 25.7.
| Footballguys view: Winston made multiple questionable decisions to help put the Giants in a 14-point fourth quarter hole, and then in typical fashion, he got the team all the way back with two scores to send the game to overtime. He probably would have gotten the win if Cam Skattebo hadn't fumbled in field goal range, but Jayden Daniels 'gaffe failing to stop the clock in field goal range with no timeouts left kept him from getting the loss. Winston is the quarterback of a first-place team heading into a Week 6 game against the Saints. He's worth a streaming QB1 look if you need someone from the wire to cover Joe Burrow or Jared Goff's bye next week. |

Nabers catches 11 passes for 121 yards, a touchdown in tie with Commanders Sun Oct 11, 04:51 PM
New York Giants WR Malik Nabers caught 11 passes for 121 yards and a touchdown on 20 targets in Sunday's 27-27 tie with the Washington Commanders. He was projected for 12.1 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 23.6.
| Footballguys view: Nabers hadn't put up much in the box score until Jameis Winston authored a pair of long touchdown drives to erase a 14-point deficit in the fourth quarter. He was a big part of that effort and could have an even bigger target share next week against the Saints if Isaiah Likely is hurt after he limped off of the field late in this game. As long as Winston isn't benched for J.J. McCarthy, Nabers is back on track to have a big season with Winston's freewheeling style at the center of the offense. |

KC Concepcion Jr. in concussion protocol after Fitzpatrick hit Sun Oct 11, 04:44 PM
Browns WR KC Concepcion Jr. is in the concussion protocol after taking a helmet-to-helmet hit from Minkah Fitzpatrick and slamming his head on the turf on Sunday.
| Footballguys view: Concepcion did not return to the game. Head coach Todd Monken said of the hit: "That's just a bang-bang play. Minkah has been in this league a long time. He's not a dirty player." Concepcion will have to go through the concussion protocol before he's cleared to play the Ravens in Week 6. |

Saints | Shough unsure if left hand is broken, says it's 'banged up' Sun Oct 11, 04:42 PM
Saints QB Tyler Shough was asked after Sunday's 23-13 loss to the Vikings whether his left hand was broken and said he wasn't sure he could answer that, but that it's banged up.
| Footballguys view: Shough was upgraded to full practice on Thursday after dealing with the left-hand injury earlier in the week. He was blitzed on 91% of his dropbacks in the first half and threw two picks. He completed 16 of 25 passes for 96 yards -- for a 38.1 passer rating -- in a game that would have been a blowout if not for the Saints' own defensive turnovers. Shough and the Saints will try to regroup against the Giants in Week 6. |
