Bengals WR Tee Higgins (ankle) is active for today’s game vs. the Saints. He got in just 1 limited practice this week after lasting only 10 snaps in last Sunday night’s game vs. the Ravens. Higgins sets up as the ultimate risk/reward fantasy play today.
Saints QB Jameis Winston (back, ankle) is active for today’s game vs. the Bengals. He’ll back up QB Andy Dalton.
Saints WR Chris Olave (concussion) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Bengals. He was a full participant in Friday’s practice, so unless he suffered a setback, he should return for Week 7. With WRs Michael Thomas and Jarvis Landry also out, New Orleans is down to WRs Tre’Quan Smith, Marquez Callaway and Keith Kirkwood. Expect a run-heavy game plan with plenty of Taysom Hill.
Patriots TE Jonnu Smith (ankle) is active for today’s game vs. the Browns. He’s not a fantasy option but figures to put a dent in TE Hunter Henry’s routes and targets.
Patriots WR Jakobi Meyers (knee) is active for today’s game vs. the Browns. He was listed as questionable – but Meyers was also questionable last week before posting a 7-111-1 line on an 80% snap rate.
Patriots RB Damien Harris (hamstring) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Browns. He was reportedly a game-time decision after a limited week of practice, so Harris should have a chance to return for Week 7. RB Rhamondre Stevenson should get a ton of touches for New England today. He’ll be backed up by rookies Pierre Strong and Kevin Harris.
Dolphins RB Raheem Mostert (knee) is active for today’s game vs. the Vikings. He got in just 2 limited practices this week and was listed as questionable, adding some risk to his fantasy profile. But Mostert should be busy today as long as that knee holds up. RB Myles Gaskin is a healthy scratch for this one, suggesting confidence in Mostert’s health.
Dolphins QB Teddy Bridgewater (concussion, pectoral) is active for today’s game vs. the Vikings. He’ll back up QB Skylar Thompson, a 7th-round rookie making his 1st career start.
Patriots QB Mac Jones (ankle) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Browns. We’ll see if he can make it back for Week 7. QB Bailey Zappe makes his 2nd career start today.
NFL Network's Ian Rapoport hears that the Saints have been impressed with QB Andy Dalton and that Dalton has an "opportunity" to hang on to the starting job with a strong performance vs. the Bengals today. Dalton has been efficient over the past 2 weeks, posting a 69% completion rate and 8.1 yards per attempt. And he's thrown just 1 INT. He hasn't been very useful in fantasy football, though, averaging only 212 passing yards and 1 TD per game.
NFL Network's Ian Rapoport says there's a "good chance" Cowboys QB Dak Prescott (thumb) returns for Week 7. "He's really progressing well," Rapoport adds. "He's as close as he's been ... But it is not a sure thing [he plays Week 7.] He still needs to work on grip and grip strength." We'll keep a close eye on Prescott's practice participation this coming week.
Giants WR Wan'Dale Robinson (knee) is expected to play vs. the Ravens today, per NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. It'll be the rookie's 1st action since the opener. We'd try not to use him in season-long fantasy lineups, but Robinson is an intriguing cheap DFS tournament play.
The Cardinals elevated RB Corey Clement from the practice squad to the active roster. He'll join Eno Benjamin and Keaontay Ingram in the backfield vs. the Seahawks today. Benjamin figures to lead the group in carries and targets and is the only viable fantasy play.
Rams RB Cam Akers won't be rejoining the team "if the situation continues as it has so far this season," NFL Network's Ian Rapoport writes. Akers has "philosophical and football-related differences" with HC Sean McVay, per Rapoport. Akers won't play against the Panthers today and is expected to draw significant trade interest. We'll see where this goes, but it sounds like we shouldn't expect Akers to be part of Los Angeles' backfield going forward. That leaves Darrell Henderson as the leader of what's been an abysmal running game so far. Malcolm Brown will be the #2 RB, with undrafted rookie Ronnie Rivers as the #3. Rapoport says Rivers "has impressed and should get carries." We'll see what the snap and touch split looks like vs. Carolina today.
The NFL will wait until Raiders WR Davante Adams' legal proceedings conclude before dishing out any discipline, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Adams has been charged with a city ordinance violation of assault for pushing a photographer to the ground after last Monday night's loss to the Chiefs. That means the situation is now part of the league's personal-conduct policy, so the league will wait until the case is resolved. Per Rapoport, Adams could be fined, suspended or both. His court date is scheduled for November 10.
The Browns aren't expected to play newly acquired LB Deion Jones against the Patriots today, according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. That clears the path for Jacob Phillips and Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah to continue leading the position in playing time. We'll look for more on Jones' expected role once he does take the field.
NFL Network's Ian Rapoport calls Patriots QB Mac Jones (ankle) "highly unlikely" to play vs. the Browns today. Jones was officially limited in all 3 practices this week and is listed as questionable. But he always seemed like a long shot to play just 3 weeks after suffering what looked like a significant high-ankle sprain. QB Bailey Zappe will make his 2nd career start today.
Vikings RB Alexander Mattison (shoulder) is expected to play vs. the Dolphins today, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Mattison is listed as questionable but should be ready for his usual #2 RB duties behind Dalvin Cook.
The Patriots will determine whether RB Damien Harris (hamstring) is active for today's game against the Browns after he works out pregame. "Playing would be a surprise, but not impossible," according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Even if he's active, we'd be wary of using Harris in any fantasy football formats.
Cowboys WR CeeDee Lamb (hip) is expected to play against the Eagles tonight, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. That's been the word from Cowboys camp throughout the week, as Lamb has dealt with some seemingly minor injuries. Check our Week 6 rankings to see whether he belongs in your fantasy football lineups.
