  • ARI Tight End #85
    After clearing concussion protocol before the weekend, McBride became a surprise addition to the Cardinals’ injury report with a rib injury. The star tight end, however, will officially be active for this week’s game against the 49ers, giving Kyler Murray all of his top pass-catchers in the NFC West showdown. While McBride is active, the Cardinals did declare K Matt Prater, CB Garrett Williams, LB Victor Dimukeje, LB Xavier Thoams, OL Isaiah Adams, TE Travis Vokolek, and WR Xavier Weaver inactive for Week 5.
  • MIN Wide Receiver #18
    He fumbled his first target out of bounds. Sam Darnold was locked in on Jefferson deep for most of the game but the two simply couldn’t connect after Darnold’s magic from Weeks 1 to 4 disappeared and the Jets hung 61 penalty yards on Jefferson alone. Unfortunately those yards do not count for the purposes of fantasy football. Jefferson remains an elite WR1 as the Vikings head on their Week 6 bye, but Jefferson-reliant managers should be hoping the return of Bad Darnold was a one-week blip instead of a trend.
  • HOU Wide Receiver #12
    Collins pulled up after scoring a 67-yard touchdown, was checked in the blue medical tent, and headed to the locker room. He had spent some time on the injury report in previous weeks with a hamstring injury, so it’s possible he re-aggravated an injury. Obviously a Collins extended absence would be huge injury news with many fantasy implications.
  • MIA Running Back #28
    Achane took a shot to the head on an end-around in the first quarter. He was seen in the fencing position, which often indicates a brain injury. Achane was slow to make his way to the blue medical tent and was then escorted to the Miami locker room. Achane will enter the concussion protocol and has a real chance of missing Week 6. Raheem Mostert would function as the Dolphins’ workhorse if Achane were to miss time.
  • MIN Quarterback #14
    He left for a play after taking a sack in the second quarter, but immediately returned. Darnold’s easy throws from Week 1-4 largely disappeared after Minnesota’s first drive, and the second-half offense became “target Justin Jefferson for defensive penalties or incompletions” with Aaron Jones out. His one pick was ghastly and Darnold’s off-script throws resembled Darnold Classic rather than 2024’s new and improved version. Darnold isn’t necessarily someone you must hold in 1QB leagues as he enters his Week 6 bye, but he’ll likely remain a viable low-end QB1 under Kevin O’Connell.
  • NYJ Quarterback #8
    Rodgers was seen limping off the field in the third quarter after a defender rolled up on his leg and pinned his ankle beneath him. Rodgers played through the game and nearly completed a comeback in London but tossed a game-sealing interception late to give the Vikings the win. We’ll see if this affects Rodgers heading into next week’s game against the Bills. He’ll get an extra day to recover with the Jets not playing until Monday night in Week 6.
  • NYJ Wide Receiver #5
    Wilson looked positively Wan’Daleian early in this game, but caught a wide-open touchdown to bring the Jets within three in the fourth quarter, and had a 20-yarder on the final drive to bring up a rough average. Wilson was open on a double move for what could have been a game-winning score, but Rodgers overthrew him. If Wilson continues to get 22 targets per game, it’s hard to imagine him not returning fantasy value. But that it took so many targets just to bring him to 13/101/1 says quite a bit about how he and Aaron Rodgers remain not on the same page. He’ll be a WR2 for Week 6’s game against the Bills.
  • NYJ Running Back #20
    Hall was stuffed early and often as the Vikings built a 17-0 lead and effectively ceded 40 percent of the running back touches to Braelon Allen. The Jets offense found space for 22 targets to Garrett Wilson and four for Hall in a short-game focused comeback that asked for a lot of running back blocking. Hall shouldn’t continue to be this bad for fantasy purposes, but Allen’s continued presence is stomping out a lot of his RB1 upside.
  • NYJ Quarterback #8
    Rodgers briefly was headed to the blue medical tent with what appeared to be a leg injury before a roughing the punter penalty had him leap back up, but his pocket movement looked quite tenuous for the remainder of the game. The Vikings only sacked Rodgers three times, but hurried him plenty as the Jets turned to the passing game to try to dig them out of a 17-0 hole. Rodgers will remain a fantasy QB2 as the Jets try to get back to .500 on Monday Night against the Bills.
  • NYJ Cornerback #1
    He slammed into Quincy Williams on the line of scrimmage, leaving a wide-open Jordan Addison downfield on the play for 26 yards. Gardner seems unlikely to return after spending time in the medical tent. He’ll have an extra day to clear protocol, should he enter it, as the Jets plan to take on the Bills on Monday night next week.
