Dolphins HC Mike McDaniel called RB De'Von Achane's knee injury a sprain but wouldn't give any additional details on Wednesday. McDaniel did say that placing Achane on IR "wasn't a black-and-white decision," which would seem to suggest that Miami doesn't expect the rookie to miss more than the four games required for players on IR. We'll look for more information on Achane's timeline for return, but he's worth keeping stashed on fantasy benches right now.
Bills TEs Dalton Kincaid (concussion) and Dawson Knox (wrist) got in limited practices on Wednesday. That gives both guys a shot to play vs. the Giants on Sunday night. We'll track their progress over the next few days.
Giants RB Saquon Barkley (ankle) was limited in Wednesday's practice. He was limited all last week before missing the Dolphins game, so Barkley's availability for Sunday night's game vs. the Bills remains uncertain. We'll update Barkley's status again tomorrow.
Bucs WR Mike Evans (hamstring) did not practice on Wednesday. That's not a good look with Tampa coming off the bye week. Evans seems iffy for this Sunday's game vs. the Lions, but we'll see if he's able to get back on the field tomorrow.
Lions RB Jahmyr Gibbs (hamstring) did not practice on Wednesday. The rookie hurt his hamstring last Friday and missed the Panthers game. He's not looking particularly likely to play vs. the Bucs this weekend, but we'll track his status over the next few days.
Cardinals RB Keaontay Ingram (neck) was limited in Wednesday’s practice. He’s been out since Week 3 but seemingly has a chance to return for Sunday’s game vs. the Rams. Arizona could use Ingram with RB James Conner (knee) on IR.
Raiders WR Davante Adams (shoulder) did not practice on Wednesday. He played through this injury on Monday night but managed just four catches for 45 yards. Adams will play against the Patriots this weekend, but it's clear that he's not at 100%.
Patriots RB Rhamondre Stevenson is not listed on the Week 6 injury report. He was limited in practice all last week and listed as questionable for the Saints game with a thigh injury. Stevenson wound up playing but set season lows with a 50% snap rate, eight carries, and two targets. At least he's healthier heading into this weekend's game vs. the Raiders, but it's tough to consider Stevenson more than a RB3 or flex at this point.
Dolphins RB Jeff Wilson (ribs, finger) was officially limited in Wednesday's practice. We'll see how he progresses over the next couple of days and whether he'll be ready to play vs. the Panthers this weekend.
Jaguars WR Zay Jones (knee) did not practice on Wednesday. He's considered "day-to-day" but doesn't seem like a good bet to play vs. the Colts this weekend.
Saints WR Chris Olave (toe) was limited in Wednesday's practice. He looked a bit hobbled prior to last weekend's game vs. the Patriots. Olave wound up playing 79% of the snaps but caught just two of five targets. We'll monitor his status over the next few days, leading up to Sunday's game vs. the Texans.
Texans WR Tank Dell (concussion) did not practice on Wednesday. The rookie is unlikely to play vs. the Saints this weekend. WR Robert Woods (ribs) was also out on Wednesday and is iffy for Sunday's game. Houston did get WR Noah Brown (groin) back to a full practice today. He'd join WRs John Metchie and Xavier Hutchinson behind No. 1 Nico Collins if Dell and Woods are out.
Browns TE David Njoku (face, hand) did not practice on Wednesday. He suffered burns prior to the Week 4 game vs. the Ravens but was able to play, so he should be available for Sunday's game vs. the 49ers.
Browns QB Deshaun Watson (shoulder) did not practice on Wednesday. That’s a concern with Cleveland coming off the bye week. Watson seems genuinely iffy for this weekend’s game vs. the 49ers. HC Kevin Stefanski said that QB P.J. Walker will get the start in that one if Watson is out. A Walker-led offense would have very little chance to move the ball against San Francisco.
Seahawks WR D.K. Metcalf (ribs) did not practice on Wednesday. Metcalf has been playing through this injury since Week 2 and should be ready for this weekend's game vs. the Bengals. But it's not ideal that he's still missing practice coming off the bye week.
Bengals WR Tee Higgins (ribs) was limited in Wednesday's practice. He was limited last Friday before missing the Cardinals game. Higgins is uncertain for this weekend's game vs. the Seahawks. We'll keep you updated on his status over the next few days.
Bears RB Roschon Johnson (concussion) did not practice on Wednesday. That doesn't bode well for his chances of being cleared in time for this weekend's game vs. the Vikings. We know that RB Khalil Herbert (ankle) will miss that one. And RB Travis Homer (hamstring) also missed Wednesday's practice. It's looking like D'Onta Foreman will be up as Chicago's lead back against Minnesota.
Titans WR Treylon Burks (knee) remained sidelined for Wednesday's practice. HC Mike Vrabel said earlier this week that he was hoping Burks would be able to get back on the field this week. But fantasy owners shouldn't be counting on him playing vs. the Ravens on Sunday morning.
Chiefs TE Travis Kelce (ankle) is listed as questionable for Thursday night's game vs. the Broncos. He got in limited practices on Tuesday and Wednesday. Insider Jordan Schultz reports that Kelce's ankle has "responded well" and that he is expected to play tomorrow. We'll get Kansas City's inactives around 7 pm ET. An active Kelce is a must-start.
Broncos TE Greg Dulcich (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Thursday night's game vs. the Chiefs. He was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, so it looks like he has a real chance to play for the first time since Week 1. Dulcich shouldn't be in Week 6 season-long fantasy lineups but could quickly re-emerge as a fantasy factor.
