Cardinals LB Jordan Hicks (toe) is active for today's game against the Browns. He missed practice Wednesday and Thursday before returning for a limited Friday workout and appeared truly questionable. Don't be surprised if we see fewer snaps than usual, but Hicks is available if you got here planning to use him in IDP lineups. CBs Byron Murphy (ribs) and Marco Wilson (ribs) are also active after arriving questionable. The defense will be without EDGE Chandler Jones, who is on the COVID list.
Colts WR Parris Campbell suffered a foot injury in the 1st half of Sunday's game vs. the Texans and is questionable to return. He caught a 51-yard TD before exiting. We'll update Campbell's status when we know more.
Washington RB Antonio Gibson is questionable to return to Sunday's game vs. the Chiefs with a shin injury. Gibson, of course, has been playing through a stress fracture in that shin. We'll update his status when we know more.
Update: Gibson returned.
Giants WR Kadarius Toney appeared to re-injure his ankle in the 1st quarter of Sunday's game vs. the Rams. He headed back to the locker room with trainers. Stay tuned for an update.
Update: Toney has been ruled out for the rest of the game.
The Cowboys expect CB Trevon Diggs to play through the questionable tag for his sprained ankle today against the Patriots, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports. An active Diggs should probably be in IDP lineups. We'll confirm his status when the late-game inactives come out. Other questionable Dallas defenders: DE Randy Gregory (knee), S Damontae Kazee (hip) and S Donovan Wilson (groin).
Today's Cardinals-Browns game is expected to see 20 mph sustained winds with gusts around 30 mph. We saw a couple of windy games in Cleveland disappoint for fantasy purposes last season. Today isn't quite as windy as those, but the passing and kicks games still figure to be impacted. We certainly wouldn't be benching guys like Kyler Murray or DeAndre Hopkins. But use the weather as a tiebreaker if you're considering more fringy passing-game options from these teams.
Bears OLB Khalil Mack (foot) is active for today's game against the Packers. He missed practice all week, so there's a chance he's limited vs. his usual performance level. But he's available for IDP lineups. DL Akiem Hicks (groin) and CB Duke Shelley (ankle) are active as well after arriving questionable.
Chiefs LB Anthony Hitchens (knee) is active for today's game against Washington.
Ravens S DeShon Elliott (quad) is active for today's game against the Chargers.
Lions EDGE Trey Flowers (knee) is active for today's game against the Bengals. Use him as planned in IDP lineups.
Colts CB Xavier Rhodes (concussion) is active for today's game against the Texans.
Ravens RB Ty'Son Williams is a healthy scratch for today's game vs. the Chargers. Baltimore will roll with RBs Latavius Murray, Devonta Freeman and Le'Veon Bell. Murray is the best fantasy bet in this plus matchup.
Texans CB Desmond King (hip, illness) is active for today's game against the Colts. Use him as planned in IDP lineups.
Chiefs WR Tyreek Hill (quad) is active for today’s game vs. Washington. He only got in a limited practice on Friday, but we never heard any real concern about Hill’s status for this one. He carries a bit more risk than usual but remains a must-start.
Bears RB Damien Williams (COVID) is out for today’s game vs. the Packers. Rookie Khalil Herbert is expected to operate as Chicago’s lead (feature?) back. RBs Ryan Nall and Artavis Pierce are behind Herbert on the depth chart.
Chargers WR Mike Williams (knee) is active for today’s game against the Ravens. He missed all 3 practices this week with what HC Brandon Staley said was swelling in his knee. There’s been no report on Williams being limited or on a snap count today, but he still comes with elevated risk in Week 6 fantasy lineups.
Washington WR Dyami Brown (knee) is active for today’s game vs. the Chiefs. He joins Terry McLaurin, Adam Humphries, Deandre Carter, Antonio Gandy-Golden and Dax Milne in Washington’s WR corps.
Washington RB Antonio Gibson (shin) is active for today’s game vs. the Chiefs. He handled 20 carries and 2 targets last week, despite playing through that stress fracture in his shin. Gibson is an upside fantasy play vs. Kansas City’s porous run defense.
Washington WR Terry McLaurin (hamstring) is active for today’s game vs. the Chiefs. He was added to the injury report and listed as a non-participant in Friday’s practice. McLaurin did work off to the side on Friday, though, and HC Ron Rivera said afterward that they were operating more under "an abundance of caution.” ESPN's John Keim reported that McLaurin was “feeling good” on Saturday. He obviously comes with added risk in Week 6 fantasy lineups. But we’d have a tough time sitting McLaurin in this dream matchup vs. the Chiefs.
Ravens WR Rashod Bateman is active for today’s game against the Chargers. OC Greg Roman suggested earlier in the week that Bateman would be on a snap count in his NFL debut, so we'd try not to use him in Week 6 fantasy lineups.
