As expected, Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa (concussion, back, ankle) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Jets. He might be out for a while. QB Teddy Bridgewater draws the start this weekend and has some spot-start appeal in the plus matchup, as long as WRs Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle play.
Dolphins WR Jaylen Waddle (groin) is questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Jets. He got in limited practices on Thursday and Friday. Waddle played through this issue last week, registering his usual snap rate but catching just 2 balls for 39 yards. The floor here is lower than usual, but Waddle still has big upside in a plus matchup vs. the Jets.
Dolphins WR Tyreek Hill (quad) is listed as questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Jets. After being added to the injury report on Thursday, he got in a limited practice on Friday. HC Mike McDaniel said Friday that he’s “very hopeful” Hill will be able to play. We’ll get Miami’s inactives around 11:30 am ET on Sunday.
Commanders TE Logan Thomas missed practice Friday with a calf injury that has him questionable for Sunday's game against the Titans. ESPN's John Keim says the TE's status "will be determined Sunday morning." Sounds like Thomas will be risky to trust in fantasy football lineups even if he's active. John Bates figures to start if Thomas can't go. The team also plans to have TE Cole Turner active, with WR Jahan Dotson's absence (hamstring) opening a roster spot.
Saints S Marcus Maye (rib) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Seahawks. He put in limited practices all week but missed the past 2 games despite multiple limited practices each week. We'll see about his status Sunday. Don't bother waiting for Maye in IDP lineups if we don't know more before the early games.
The 49ers have ruled DE Arik Armstead (foot, ankle) and DT Javon Kinlaw (knee) out for Sunday's game against the Panthers. That damages both the run D and pass rush for San Francisco. We'll see, though, whether the Carolina offense can take advantage. We'd still feel comfy using the Niners' team D in fantasy football lineups.
Cowboys WR CeeDee Lamb put in a limited practice Friday after sitting out Thursday with a groin issue. Jon Machota of The Athletic reports that Lamb had an MRI "to make sure it wasn't anything significant" and got "good results." Lamb is officially questionable for Sunday's game against the Rams, but Machota says he's expected to play. Plan on using Lamb in your fantasy football lineups, but try to secure an insurance option in case he turns up inactive.
Bills LB Tremaine Edmunds (hamstring) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Steelers. He missed practice all week and seems like a risky IDP option even if active. DTs Ed Oliver (ankle) and Jordan Phillips (hamstring) are also questionable.
Bears RB David Montgomery (ankle) is listed as questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Vikings. He got in limited practices on Thursday and Friday. HC Matt Eberflus said Friday that everything is "real positive" with Montgomery, so it sounds like he has a shot to return for Sunday’s game. We’ll look for an update on the situation Sunday morning and will get Chicago’s inactives around 11:30 am ET.
Bucs WR Julio Jones (knee) was limited in practice all week and is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game vs. the Falcons. We’re expecting Jones to play but be 4th among Tampa WRs in playing time. He ran a route on just 30% of pass plays last week.
Bucs QB Tom Brady (shoulder, finger) isn’t listed on the final Week 5 injury report. After sitting out on Wednesday, Brady put in full practices on Thursday and Friday. We’re not expecting the shoulder or finger to be an issue in this weekend’s game vs. the Falcons.
Bengals TE Hayden Hurst (groin) is questionable for Sunday night's game vs. the Ravens. He went from limited practices on Wednesday and Thursday to no practice on Friday. HC Zay Taylor "sounded optimistic" Friday that Hurst will play, per The Athletic's Jay Morrison. But we'd try to stay away from him in fantasy lineups at less than 100%.
Bengals WR Tee Higgins (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday night's game vs. the Ravens after a limited week of practice. He tweaked that ankle in last Thursday night's win over Miami but was able to return to the game. We're expecting him to be out there vs. Baltimore, but hopefully we get confirmation on Sunday morning.
Jaguars WR Zay Jones (ankle) was limited in practice all week and is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game vs. the Texans. HC Doug Pederson said Friday that he expects Jones to play, but it looks like he’s not back to 100% yet. Consider him a risk/reward WR4 this week.
Steelers WR Diontae Johnson (hip) isn't listed on the final Week 5 injury report. He was limited in Thursday's practice but returned to a full workout on Friday. He should be ready for his usual role vs. the Bills this weekend.
Ravens RB Justice Hill (hamstring) is out for Sunday night’s game vs. the Bengals. RBs Mike Davis and Kenyan Drake figure to be active for that one, but neither is on the fantasy radar. RB J.K. Dobbins’ role should continue growing after his snap and carry shares climbed from Week 3 to Week 4.
Ravens WR Rashod Bateman (foot) is out for Sunday night's game vs. the Bengals. That leaves Devin Duvernay, Demarcus Robinson, James Proche and Tylan Wallace as Baltimore's top 4 WRs. Duvernay has some flier appeal, but expect QB Lamar Jackson to lean heavily on TE Mark Andrews.
Saints WR Jarvis Landry (ankle) was limited in practice all week and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game vs. the Seahawks. HC Dennis Allen said Friday that he expects Landry to play, but he's an uninspiring fantasy option at less than 100%.
Saints WR Michael Thomas (foot) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Seahawks. He’s yet to practice since going down in Week 3. WR Marquez Callaway replaced Thomas last week, running a route on 97% pass plays and drawing 6 targets (21% share). He’s in play as a cheap DFS option. WR Chris Olave gets a boost with Thomas out.
Saints QB Andy Dalton will start Sunday’s game vs. the Seahawks, HC Dennis Allen said Friday. QB Jameis Winston remains out with his back and ankle injuries. Dalton was ok in last week’s loss to the Vikings and has some Superflex and DFS appeal against Seattle’s 30th-ranked QB defense.
