A limited practice to start the week is usually nothing more than maintenance. Boston should still be a safe bet to suit up on Sunday. The second-round rookie has already cemented himself as an impressive downfield threat with three touchdowns and three catches of 40+ yards. He’s managed several spike weeks despite the Browns’ up-and-down performances on offense. Health permitting, Boston will be a low-end WR3 for Week 6 versus Baltimore.14 October 2026
Mason Graham is expected to miss multiple weeks with an ankle injury of his own and Maliek Collins missed today’s practice with a foot injury. That’s three front-seven starters potentially out for Week 6. With Lamar Jackson still banged up, expect the Ravens to give Derrick Henry all the touches he can handle this week.14 October 2026
Typically, rest days are entirely inconsequential. Recently, the Colts listed Keenan Allen with a rest designation on Wednesday. He picked up a groin injury during the practice week, and although they added the groin injury to the injury report, they kept the rest designation on there as well. He didn’t play. Downs could end up being perfectly fine, but given the Colts’ recent handling of a similar situation, his participation levels on Thursday and Friday are worth monitoring.14 October 2026
Lamb played through a quad bruise last week but exacerbated the issue and left the game late in the fourth quarter. The injury is not believed to be serious and a full practice today means Lamb isn’t at risk of missing Week 6. Despite burning fantasy managers with two catches for nine yards last time around, Lamb remains one of the best fantasy football wideouts in play this week.

He still has multiple practices left to improve his status. If Mooney were to miss time, Malachi Fields, who is tied with him for third on the team in targets, could see his role expand, though target volume could be limited behind Isaiah Likely and Malik Nabers.14 October 2026
Earlier today, NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo reported that Lane has “a shot” to face the Browns in Week 6. His full participation furthers that notion. The talented rookie drew rave reports all summer before suffering an unfortunate wrist fracture in Week 1. While he makes for a dicey FLEX if Tyler Huntley is under center, Lane should at least be safely stashed on fantasy football benches in 12-team formats.14 October 2026
The Browns opened Sampson’s practice window today, so it’s a bit odd to see him sit out of the session entirely. They were likely giving Sampson the option to suit up even though he may not be fully ready to return. With Quinshon Judkins injured and Raheim Sanders on IR, the Browns are clearly desperate at running back. If Sampson doesn’t play on Sunday, the backfield will be split between Jaleel McLaughlin and Audric Estime. This is likely a fantasy situation to avoid at all costs.14 October 2026
A full practice today means Jones will play through the issue in Week 6, but it’s never a good sign to see a starting quarterback unexpectedly pop up on the injury report. Jones has also struggled mightily this year, so the last thing he needs is a lingering ankle issue, even if it’s a minor one. Needless to say, we aren’t itching to get Jones in our fantasy lineups in a low-scoring affair with the Titans. He is buried at the back of the QB2 ranks for Week 6.14 October 2026
We expect Olave to be fine for the Saints’ Week 6 game against the Giants. There is currently no cause for concern, but this is worth keeping an eye on. Olave experienced blood clots in his lung last season, and spent much of the offseason recovering. We are not doctors and cannot opine on the matter. For now, expect him to play, but keep an eye out for his hopeful return to practice tomorrow or Friday.14 October 2026
Benton suffered the ankle injury in Week 5 against the Colts. The Steelers defensive tackle, who signed a four-year, $72 million contract extension in August, has had a quiet season statistically while being double-teamed at the highest rate of any defensive tackle in the NFL. Benton missing time would be another blow to a defensive line already playing without second-year defensive tackle Derrick Harmon.14 October 2026
Tyson was officially a non-participant to begin the week, as expected. Moore adds that Tyson is “progressing well,” and New Orleans Football’s Mike Triplett said there is “an expectation that he’ll return to practice soon.” Tyson should be rostered in 12-team formats, but fantasy managers must, unfortunately, remain patient.14 October 2026
Hunter, a 2025 fourth-round pick with the Rams, was traded to the Dolphins earlier this year. He was recently waived. The Saints need help in the backfield with Travis Etienne (hamstring) on injured reserve. Hunter has long odds of meaningfully contributing, though he was an intriguing prospect.14 October 2026
Henderson wasn’t spotted during the portion of practice open to the media but apparently got on the field at some point later in the session. It’s a truly stunning development for Henderson, given that it was reported this morning that he is expected to miss multiple weeks. We still expect him to sit for Week 6, but even that isn’t guaranteed at this point. Henderson would likely be on a relatively strict pitch count if he plays, but his presence would, at a minimum, be a thorn in the sid ...14 October 2026
The Panthers should have their veteran receiving tight end on the field when they take on the Eagles this week. Waller remains a viable TE1, albeit as a somewhat volatile producer. We expect him to be practicing in full by the end of the week, coming off a restful bye.14 October 2026
The Panthers’ backup running back is on track to return this week against the Eagles, while fellow backup A.J. Dillon (ankle) may need more time off. Dillon was unable to practice at all today. Etienne can be stashed in 12-team formats, though he may only qualify as FLEX-viable if he were to get a fill-in start at some point.14 October 2026
Eluemunor told reporters he felt his calf pop during Week 5 against the Commanders. He left the game and Marcus Mbow took his spot at right tackle. Head coach John Harbaugh called him day-to-day on Monday, so it’s at least not a long-term issue, though he still looks like a coin flip for Week 6. Left tackle Andrew Thomas did not practice, though that’s standard fare for him as he continues to play through a groin injury.14 October 2026
Giants coach John Harbaugh said Carter is doing well, so it doesn’t seem like he’s at much risk of missing Week 6. Rookie corner Colton Hood, on the other hand, is in concussion protocol and didn’t practice today. He will likely miss Week 6 while he works his way through the protocol.14 October 2026
Moton is tentatively on track to make his return from injured reserve this week. Meanwhile, RT Monroe Freeling (knee) sat out on Wednesday. Panthers DT Tershawn Wharton (neck) is practicing in full, while EDGE Jaelan Phillips (hamstring) was limited.14 October 2026
Theo Johnson has a neck injury and was limited in practice. Both tight ends should be able to suit up on Sunday. Coming off a career-high in targets (13), Likely is looking more like a top-five fantasy tight end every week. He should be in every fantasy lineup for his Week 6 date with the Saints.14 October 2026
Ramsey is playing through a broken wrist. He missed last Wednesday’s practice and wound up playing every defensive snap for the Steelers on Sunday. A Wednesday DNP appears to be the new norm for him. We fully expect Ramsey to play in Week 6.
