  • PIT Quarterback #3
    Schefter said on ESPN’s “Get Up” that head coach Mike Tomlin has not “crowned” Justin Fields as the team’s full-time starter despite a solid start to the season. Schefter suggested Tomlin could make the quarterback switch if the Steelers — who have dropped two straight games — lose to the miserable Raiders in Week 6. Wilson, Schefter said, is “within an arm’s length” of Fields as the Steelers’ starter. A poor outing for Fields, who completed just 55 percent of his throws last week against Dallas, and Wilson could end up under center for Pittsburgh.
  • CLE Tight End #85
    Despite talks Njoku would practice Wednesday, the Browns listed him as DNP on the practice report. He suffered a knee injury in the Browns’ Week 5 loss to the Commanders after dealing with an ankle injury for much of the season. Starting out the week without practicing will make a Week 6 return difficult for Njoku.
  • CLE Defensive Back #21
    Ward suffered a hamstring injury during the Browns’ Week 5 loss to the Commanders. He was reported to undergo an MRI earlier this week, and his inclusion on the injury report is the first update on him since then. Myles Garrett (Achilles) was another key Browns defender missing practice, though expect some load management through practice with Garrett suiting up Week 6 like he did previous weeks. Ward, however, will have a more difficult path to playing Week 6.
  • NYG Wide Receiver #1
    Nabers did not practice Wednesday as he continues to recover from a concussion suffered in Week 4. It has been nearly two weeks since he suffered the injury, so Daboll’s update provides some clarity but still concern over Nabers not practicing yet. Working with trainers at practice, Nabers is day-to-day and genuinely questionable for Week 6.
  • CLE Running Back #24
    Chubb began practicing last week and is in the second week of his 21-day return window. Head coach Kevin Stefanski was non-committal on whether Chubb would play in Week 6. The Browns could use Chubb in what looks to be a banged-up running back room. D’Onta Foreman (ankle) did not practice Wednesday, while Pierre Strong (hamstring) and Nyheim Hines (knee) were limited. If Chubb does return, it will take a few games for him to get back to fantasy relevance.
  • TB Running Back #1
    White appeared to hurt his foot during the final plays of the Bucs’ Week 5 loss to the Falcons. Still operating as the Bucs’ lead back, White is averaging 3.7 yards per carry and is yet to score a touchdown. With a limited practice, White is still in line to play but could lose some snaps to Bucky Irving as he nurses his foot injury.
  • TB Wide Receiver #10
    Palmer missed Week 5 against the Falcons due to the concussion and remains out to begin the week. He has four catches for 45 yards and a touchdown through four games this season. With Jalen McMillan (hamstring) and Kameron Johnson (ankle) both limited in practice, the Bucs’ No. 3 wideout spot remains in flux.
  • NO Running Back #41
    Kamara is no stranger to playing through the pain. He was on the Week 4 injury report with hip and ribs issues yet still totaled 19 carries and nine targets. Fantasy managers should tentatively expect their RB1 to suit up against the Buccaneers on Sunday.
  • LAC Linebacker #97
    Bosa, who has struggled to stay healthy in recent seasons, has already missed two games because of the hip issue. The fact that he is not practicing coming out of LA’s bye week suggests he is still a long way out from returning. Cornerback Ja’Sir Taylor (fibula), who also missed Week 4, did not practice either. Expect the Chargers to remain undermanned on defense for Week 6 versus Denver.
  • LAC Running Back #4
    Edwards was already falling out of favor before LA’s Week 5 bye. He had nine carries for 28 yards over the previous two weeks. An ankle issue after a week off isn’t going to do him any favors either. If he is forced to miss Week 6, rookie Kimani Vidal could be active for the first time this year.
