Patriots TE Jonnu Smith (ankle) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Lions. That should mean more routes for TE Hunter Henry, but he’s still tough to trust in fantasy lineups.
Patriots QB Mac Jones (ankle) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Lions. 4th-round rookie QB Bailey Zappe makes his 1st career start. Expect a run-heavy game plan from New England.
Seahawks RB Kenneth Walker (shoulder) is active for today’s game vs. the Saints. He figures to work behind RB Rashaad Penny again and isn’t a recommended fantasy play.
Saints WR Jarvis Landry (ankle) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Seahawks. With WR Michael Thomas also out, New Orleans is down to WRs Chris Olave, Marquez Callaway, Tre’Quan Smith and Deonte Harty.
Browns EDGE Jadeveon Clowney (ankle) is active for today's game against the Chargers. It'll be his 1st game action since Week 2.
Dolphins WR Jaylen Waddle (groin) is active for today’s game vs. the Jets. He played his usual allotment of snaps with this injury last week, so we’re not expecting it to be a big factor today.
Dolphins WR Tyreek Hill (quad) is active for today’s game vs. the Jets. He was added to the injury report on Thursday but was able to get in a limited practice on Friday. There’s some additional risk here, but we wouldn’t bench Hill in this plus matchup.
Lions WR Josh Reynolds (ankle) is active for today’s game vs. the Patriots. Consider him a WR4 with Amon-Ra St. Brown back for this one.
Lions WR Amon-Ra St. Brown (ankle) is active for today’s game vs. the Patriots. He got in just a limited practice on Friday – his 1st since going down in Week 3 – so it’s tough to know how close to 100% he’ll be for this one. St. Brown sets up as a high-risk/high-reward Week 5 fantasy play. See where he sits in the WR Rankings.
Bears RB David Montgomery (ankle) is active for today’s game vs. the Vikings. He got in limited practices on Thursday and Friday after missing Week 4. We’re projecting Montgomery to return as Chicago’s lead back, but he carries more risk than usual coming off the ankle injury.
Bills LB Tremaine Edmunds (hamstring) is inactive for today's games against the Steelers. Tyrel Dodson should be the fill-in. DT Ed Oliver (ankle) is active.
Commanders RB Brian Robinson is officially active for today’s game vs. the Titans. NFL Network's Ian Rapoport said this morning that the plan is for Robinson to play about 20 snaps – or about one-third of the game. We’d try to not use him in Week 5 fantasy lineups, but Robinson’s return is bad news for RB Antonio Gibson.
Commanders TE Logan Thomas (calf) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Titans. TE John Bates figures to lead Washington in pass routes but is just an emergency fantasy play.
Bucs WR Russell Gage (back) is active for today’s game vs. the Falcons. He was added to the injury report on Saturday and listed as questionable, so he carries elevated risk as a Week 5 fantasy play. But, with Julio Jones out, Gage should be locked in as Tampa’s #3 WR as long as that back cooperates.
Bucs WR Julio Jones (knee) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Falcons, as expected. WR Breshad Perriman (knee, hamstring) is also out.
Saints RB Alvin Kamara (ribs) is active for today’s game vs. the Seahawks. He was limited in practice all week and listed as questionable, but Kamara said Wednesday that his injured ribs were feeling better and that he’d play in this one. He has big upside vs. Seattle’s 32nd-ranked RB defense.
Commanders TE Logan Thomas (calf) will not play vs. the Titans today, ESPN's John Keim reports. Thomas misses a plus matchup after hurting that calf late in the practice week. Washington will have TEs John Bates, Cole Turner and Armani Rogers active for today's game. Bates is the best fantasy bet but would be a desperation play.
ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that Saints WR Michael Thomas (foot) will "likely" be back for next weekend's game vs. the Bengals. We'll track Thomas' practice participation this coming week.
ESPN's Jeff Darlington reports that Bucs WR Julio Jones (knee) will not play vs. the Falcons today. Darlington also confirms that WR Russell Gage (back) will play. Jones' absence locks Gage in as Tampa's #3 WR behind Mike Evans and Chris Godwin.
Giants DL Leonard Williams (knee) and EDGE Azeez Ojulari (calf) are inactive for today's game against the Packers.
