Lions RB D'Andre Swift (shoulder, ankle) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Patriots. He’s tentatively expected back after Detroit’s Week 6 bye. Jamaal Williams gets another game as lead back this weekend.
Chargers WR Joshua Palmer (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Browns. He managed limited practices all week. We'll check his status Sunday morning. If Palmer's good to go, then Keenan Allen's continued absence -- he'll miss a 3rd straight game with his hamstring injury -- leaves room for plenty of upside. If Palmer can't go or is limited, then DeAndre Carter will be worth a look in deep leagues and DFS formats.
Lions WRs D.J. Chark (ankle) and Quintez Cephus (foot) are out for Sunday's game vs. the Patriots. WR Josh Reynolds (ankle) is listed as questionable after getting in limited practices on Thursday and Friday. We'll see if he's available come 11:30 am ET on Sunday.
The Chargers have ruled WR Keenan Allen out for the 3rd straight game with his hamstring injury. Allen missed practice every day this week. That seems like a setback vs. Week 4, when Allen managed limited workouts Wednesday and Thursday before sitting out Friday. We'll see about his status for Week 6. The Chargers' bye doesn't come until Week 8.
Lions WR Amon-Ra St. Brown (ankle) is listed as questionable for this weekend's game vs. the Patriots. He returned to a limited practice on Friday -- his 1st since going down in Week 3. It looks like St. Brown at least has a chance to play on Sunday. We'll look for an update on his status on Sunday morning and get Detroit's inactives around 11:30 am ET.
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.
