Chargers RB Gus Edwards (ankle) missed practice all week and is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Broncos. That should mean RB Kimani Vidal’s regular-season debut. The rookie is not a Week 6 fantasy option but might be worth stashing now in deep fantasy leagues. A strong performance this weekend could make Vidal the Chargers’ No. 2 RB – and the J.K. Dobbins handcuff – going forward.
Colts WR Michael Pittman "has decided he will try to play through the nagging back injury that’s been hampering him," according to insider Jordan Schultz. The Colts "strongly considered" placing Pittman on IR, per Schultz, "but the plan for now is to continue playing." Pittman should be active for this weekend's game vs. the Titans, but he won't be at 100% and could be at risk of limited snaps and/or exiting early. That obviously makes him a risky fantasy starter.
Colts CB Kenny Moore II is questionable for Sunday's game against the Titans. But he appears on track to play. Moore progressed to a full practice Friday after missing the previous two games while dealing with hip and shoulder injuries. We'll see about his status over the weekend. Edge Kwity Paye (quad) also practiced in full Friday and is off the week's final injury report. That means he's ready to return after also missing the past two games. Both head toward a high-upside matchup with Tennessee.
Chargers Edge Joey Bosa is questionable for Sunday's game against the Broncos. Bosa returned for a limited practice Friday but sat out the previous two days with a hip injury, despite coming off a Week 5 bye. Try not to use Bosa in your IDP lineups. The Chargers also ruled out CBs Asante Samuel Jr. and Ja'Sir Taylor. That's two of the team's top three corners, including the primary slot man (Taylor).
Commanders WR Noah Brown (groin) was limited in practice all week but is not listed on the final injury report. He’ll be back, likely as Washington’s No. 2 WR, for Sunday’s game vs. the Ravens. Brown would be a desperation fantasy play.
Commanders RB Brian Robinson (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game vs. the Ravens. He didn’t practice all week – after not playing at all in the second half of last week’s game – but will be a game-time decision, according to HC Dan Quinn. We’ll get Washington’s inactives around 11:30 am ET on Sunday, but Robinson owners should start lining up an alternative. He’ll be a shaky fantasy starter even if he ends up playing. If not, we’ll likely see RBs Austin Ekeler and Jeremy McNichols share early-down work, with Ekeler handling passing situations. In the second half of Week 5, McNichols out-carried Ekeler six to four and Ekeler out-targeted McNichols one to 0. That game wasn’t competitive, though, so we’d project a bit more work for Ekeler if Robinson ends up sitting.
Giants RB Devin Singletary (groin) was limited in practice all week and is listed as questionable for Sunday night’s game vs. the Bengals. We’re tentatively projecting Singletary to play – but to cede more work than previously to RB Tyrone Tracy. We’ll look for further updates on Singletary on Sunday morning. We won’t get New York’s inactives until a little before 7 pm ET on Sunday night.
Texans RB Joe Mixon (ankle) is listed as questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Patriots. He put in limited practices on Thursday and Friday and is expected to play, according to insider Aaron Wilson. We’d expect Mixon’s volume to be scaled back at least a little in his first action since Week 2. But he still checks in as a top-15 RB play in the Week 6 Rankings.
Saints WR Rashid Shaheed (hip) is not listed on the final Week 6 injury report. He got in just two limited practices this week but will play vs. the Bucs on Sunday. With QB Spencer Rattler at the helm, Shaheed projects as a volatile WR3.
Saints TE Taysom Hill (rib) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Bucs. His absence is a slight boost to RB Alvin Kamara’s carry projection, particularly at the goal line.
Saints RB Alvin Kamara (hip, hand) is not listed on the final Week 6 injury report. He got in just two limited practices this week, but it looks like he’ll be ready for his usual workhorse role vs. the Bucs on Sunday.
Colts QB Anthony Richardson (oblique) is listed as questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Titans. He was limited in Wednesday’s practice, a full-go on Thursday, and then limited again on Friday. HC Shane Steichen said Friday that Richardson made “huge strides” this week but will be a game-time decision. We’ll get the Colts’ inactives around 11:30 am ET on Sunday. QB Joe Flacco will start if Richardson can’t.
Colts WR Michael Pittman (back) is listed as questionable for this weekend’s game against the Titans. After a Wednesday report from ESPN’s Adam Schefter that Pittman would likely miss multiple weeks with a back injury, he returned to a full practice on Friday. “He’s feeling really good, so we’ll see where that goes,” HC Shane Steichen said. We’ll look for further updates on Pittman’s status and get the Colts’ inactives around 11:30 am ET on Sunday.
Colts WR Josh Downs (toe) is listed as questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Titans. After missing the first two practices of the week, Downs was a full participant on Friday and looked good, according to HC Shane Steichen. That puts him on track to play on Sunday, although the toe issue adds some risk.
Packers WR Christian Watson (ankle) was limited in practice all week and is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game vs. the Cardinals. He seemingly has a legitimate chance to return after missing just one game, although we’d try not to use Watson in Week 6 fantasy lineups coming off the ankle injury. His return would, however, make WR Dontayvion Wicks a much shakier fantasy play.
Packers TE Tucker Kraft (groin) is not listed on the final Week 6 injury report. He was added on Thursday and limited again in Friday's practice, but he'll play vs. the Cardinals this weekend. Coming off back-to-back TE1 finishes, Kraft is a rock-solid fantasy start.
The Cowboys have ruled LB Eric Kendricks out for Sunday's game against the Lions because of a shoulder injury. Backup Nick Vigil is also questionable with a foot injury. That leaves DeMarvion Overshown as the only LB starting option for most IDP leagues. And it's another hit to a defense already missing its top two edge players.
Eagles WRs A.J. Brown (hamstring) and DeVonta Smith (hamstring) were both full participants in practice all week and are not listed on the final injury report. They'll be back in their usual roles vs. the Browns on Sunday and should be back in fantasy lineups. The Eagles are also getting RT Lane Johnson back this week. It's all good news for QB Jalen Hurts.
Buccaneers WR Jalen McMillan (hamstring) is listed as questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Saints. He was a full-go in Friday’s practice and is expected back for this one. McMillan isn’t a viable fantasy play, but his return is a slight boost for QB Baker Mayfield. WR Trey Palmer (concussion) remains out.
Bucs RB Rachaad White (foot) is listed as doubtful for this weekend's game vs. the Saints. He was limited in Wednesday's practice but sidelined on Thursday and Friday. HC Todd Bowles called White a game-time decision on Friday, but the 'doubtful' tag makes him unlikely to play. White's absence will leave RB Bucky Irving in a clear lead role. The explosive rookie has averaged 5.6 yards per carry this season and is an exciting RB2 play in Week 6 fantasy lineups.
