Cowboys RB Ezekiel Elliott (ribs) is active for today’s game against the Patriots. He was limited in practice all week, but we never heard any concern about his status. Use Zeke in fantasy lineups as you normally would.
Broncos RB Melvin Gordon (hip) is active for today’s game against the Raiders. He was listed as questionable after getting in limited practices on Thursday and Friday. But we never heard any concern about his status. Gordon should continue to work in a timeshare with RB Javonte Williams today.
Four Browns defenders who were questionable for today's game against the Cardinals are active. DE Myles Garrett (knee, ankle), DE Jadeveon Clowney (elbow, knee), CB Denzel Ward (neck) and CB Greg Newsome (calf) are ready to go. DE Takk McKinley (ankle, knee) is also playing through a questionable tag.
Cardinals RB Chase Edmonds (shoulder) is active for today’s game vs. the Browns. Edmonds played through this injury last week but tallied a season-low 6 carries and matched a season low with 4 targets. He’s a risky Week 6 fantasy play.
Browns RB Kareem Hunt (wrist, knee) is active for today’s game against the Cardinals. HC Kevin Stefanski told NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero that Hunt is “beat up” -- but added that he’s still in for an expanded role with RB Nick Chubb (calf) out. Hunt is a RB1 in Week 6 fantasy lineups.
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.
