Texans LB Denzel Perryman is inactive for today's game against the Saints. He put in full practices all week and carried no injury designation into Sunday after returning last week from a hand injury. So this looks like a healthy scratch. That combines with Perryman's decreased playing time last week to signal the team is turning to rookie Henry To'oTo'o and Blake Cashman as the LB leaders. Perryman is droppable in your IDP league.
Titans QB Ryan Tannehill injured his right ankle in the third quarter of Sunday's game vs. the Ravens. He eventually headed back to the locker room. This is the same ankle that Tannehill injured last year, ending his season in Week 15. QB Malik Willis is set to replace Tannehill.
Bengals CB Chidobe Awuzie (back) is active for today's game against the Seahawks. Use him as planned in your IDP lineups.
Bears S Eddie Jackson (foot) is active for today's game against the Vikings. It'll be his first action since leaving Week 2 with the injury. Jackson remained limited in practice this week and would be a risky option -- with a low floor -- for your IDP lineup.
Jaguars LB Devin Lloyd is active for today's game against the Colts. He missed the past 2 games after surgery to repair his right thumb. Lloyd's return today should knock LB Chad Muma back down to a part-time role.
Dolphins Edge Jaelan Phillips (oblique) is active for today's game against the Panthers. He missed the past two contests and indicated during the week that he wasn't sure whether he'd be ready. Don't be surprised if he plays a smaller snap share then usual. But there's plenty of upside to make him worth a slot in IDP lineups. Edge Andrew Van Ginkel -- who has seen playing-time boosts in Phillips' absence -- remains an upside play for this contest as well.
Panthers Edge Brian Burns (ankle) and DT Derrick Brown (knee, ankle) are active for today's game against the Dolphins. Brown still looks like a risky play after a limited week of practice.
ESPN's Jeff Darlington reports that the Lions are "planning" for TE Sam LaPorta (calf) to be active for this afternoon's game vs. the Bucs. It's not quite a guarantee -- but all signs point toward LaPorta playing. We'll get Detroit's inactives a little before 3 pm ET.
Niners LB Dre Greenlaw (hamstring) is inactive for today's game against the Browns. Oren Burks looks like the best bet to run second among 49ers LBs in playing time.
Ravens S Kyle Hamilton got ejected midway through the third quarter of Sunday's game against the Titans after a helmet-to-helmet hit on Titans WR Chris Moore. The play clearly earned the personal-foul call, but Hamilton's ejection seemed to surprise everyone. We wouldn't bet on it costing him further game time.
49ers RB Elijah Mitchell (knee) is active for today’s game vs. the Browns. He figures to slide back in as the No. 2 RB but would be a desperation fantasy start.
Browns TE David Njoku (face, hand) is active for today’s game vs. the 49ers. We’re not too worried about his burn injuries, but Njoku is not a recommended TE1 with Cleveland sporting a laughably low 13.0-point implied total.
Bengals WR Tee Higgins (ribs) is active for today’s game vs. the Seahawks. We haven’t heard anything about his snaps being limited today with what’s reportedly a pain-management issue. But there’s still some risk of re-injury. See where Higgins sits in the Week 6 WR Rankings.
Texans WR Robert Woods (ribs) is active for today’s game vs. the Saints. He was a full participant in Friday’s practice, so he should be ready for a full slate of snaps today. With WR Tank Dell out with his concussion, Woods is a viable WR4 in PPR leagues.
Texans WR Tank Dell (concussion) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Saints. The rookie gets a Week 7 bye and should be cleared to return for Week 8.
NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reports that Dolphins RB De'Von Achane (knee) is expected back when first eligible in Week 11. On IR, Achane is out for the next four games, and Miami has a Week 10 bye. The rookie is worth keeping stashed in all fantasy leagues.
Colts QB Anthony Richardson is "strongly considering" season-ending surgery to repair the damaged AC joint in his throwing shoulder, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Richardson and the Colts sought four or five different opinions on the shoulder, "with a procedure deemed by some as the best option to fully heal his right throwing shoulder," per Rapoport. The labrum in Richardson's shoulder is not torn, Rapoport adds, and the ligaments "looked better than expected." But Richardson's long-term health is more important to the Colts than his short-term availability. We'll keep you updated on Richardson, who can still be stashed in deep fantasy leagues. But fantasy owners should start plan on being without him for the rest of the season.
Patriots QB Mac Jones will be on a "short leash" vs. the Raiders today, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. "A poor opening few series could potentially trigger another QB to take snaps in Las Vegas," Rapoport writes. It's unclear, though, whether QB Bailey Zappe or QB Will Grier would replace Jones. Rapoport adds that New England has a package of plays ready for rookie QB Malik Cunningham. It's obviously a situation to stay far away from in Week 6 fantasy lineups.
Ravens RB Keaton Mitchell (shoulder) is active for this morning's game against the Titans. The rookie makes his NFL debut alongside Justice Hill and Gus Edwards in Baltimore's backfield. Mitchell shouldn't be in season-long fantasy lineups but might be worth stashing in deeper leagues as we monitor his role.
Giants QB Daniel Jones (neck) is out for tonight's game vs. the Bills. But he has a "legitimate chance" to return for Week 7 against the Commanders, according to NFL Network's Mike Garafolo. We'll track Jones' progress this coming week.
