Mike Evans

SF Wide Receiver #5

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Mike Evans (ribs, Achilles) is questionable for Week 6 against the Commanders.

Evans was unable to practice through Friday but ultimately did enough to land a questionable tag with multiple injury designations. However likely it is that Evans continues to play through various ailments, fantasy managers could look to make alternate plans considering the timing of the 49ers’ game on Monday.
Deebo Samuel

SF Wide Receiver #19

49ers ruled out Deebo Samuel (hamstring) for Week 6 against the Commanders.

Samuel will be forced to miss Week 6 with a hamstring injury sustained in the team’s Week 5 win over the Seahawks, leaving the team extremely thin at wide receiver. They could get a small boost with Christian Kirk a candidate to be activated from injured reserve ahead of Monday’s game, although Mike Evans is also listed as questionable.
Caleb Williams

CHI Quarterback #18

Caleb Williams (hamstring) will start in Week 6 against the Falcons.

This was expected to be the case but is now confirmed by sources close to the team. Williams returns after missing the previous three games as the Bears look to claw their way back into contention in a crowded NFC North division. Consider it a sizable boost for all Chicago pass catchers.
A.J. Brown

NE Wide Receiver #1

Patriots activated A.J. Brown (ankle) from injured reserve.

Brown makes his return from a four-game absence following a Week 1 injury to his ankle, reintegrating into an offense that has found their stride in recent weeks. After leading the league in turnovers through the first three games, quarterback Drake Maye has accounted for a league-leading eight touchdowns since Week 4. Although Brown could be on a snap count in his first game back, fantasy managers have to be feeling ecstatic to get their second round pick back on the field.
Jalen Hurts

PHI Quarterback #1

Eagles placed Jalen Hurts (blood clots) on injured reserve.

Whelp, that reversed course quickly. It was reported earlier Saturday that the team was not planning on placing their franchise quarterback on injured reserve, with the team going back on those comments less than seven hours later. Although not yet fully evident, it appears as if additional information was ascertained during the day. There is no telling how long Hurts will be away from the team, with most recent reporting simply labeling it an “indefinite” absence. Tanner McKee steps into the starting role and could be worthy of deep league consideration as a QB2, for the foreseeable future.
Roman Wilson

PIT Wide Receiver #14

Steelers placed Roman Wilson (finger) on injured reserve.

Wilson suffered a dislocated finger in the team’s Week 5 game against the Colts and will now miss four games, at minimum, while on injured reserve. His absence paves the way for rookie Germie Bernard to continue to see increased opportunities. Fantasy managers can start Bernard as a viable FLEX option in Week 6 against the pass-funnel Buccaneers.
Stefon Diggs

WAS Wide Receiver #3

Stefon Diggs (hamstring) is questionable for Week 6 against the 49ers.

Diggs returned to the practice field Friday as a limited participant, following it with another practice with the same status a day later. The listed his as questionable for Monday Night Football against the 49ers as he attempts to return from a one-game absence due to a hamstring injury. Fantasy managers might be better off playing it safe considering the timing of the game.
Jacory Croskey-Merritt

WAS Running Back #22

Commanders ruled out RB Jacory Croskey-Merritt (groin) for Week 6 against the 49ers.

No surprise here. Croskey-Merritt has been dealing with a groin injury since the start of the season. This week he couldn’t practice and has since been officially ruled out for the Commanders’ Monday Night Football matchup against the 49ers. Croskey-Merritt will get a two-week break with Washington on bye in Week 7. Rachaad White and Austin Ekeler figure to handle the majority of the backfield touches in his absence with White being the preferred fantasy option between the two.
Pat Freiermuth

PIT Tight End #88

Pat Freiermuth (calf) is questionable for Week 6 against the Buccaneers.

Freiermuth popped up on the injury report Saturday afternoon with a calf injury. He’s questionable for this weekend against the Buccaneers. Freiermuth would’ve been in line for a sizable workload with the Steelers down multiple wide receivers. Coming off a two touchdown performance in Week 5, fantasy managers need a backup plan in case Freiermuth is ultimately ruled out against Tampa Bay.
Ja'Kobi Lane

BAL Wide Receiver #6

ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reports Ravens WR Ja’Kobi Lane (wrist) is “good to go” and should be activated for Week 6 against the Browns.

While nothing is official yet, Lane practiced in full all week, which is another good sign for his availability against the Browns this weekend. Lane was one of the most impressive rookies this offseason and preseason. Rashod Bateman isn’t on the injury report, but missed practice during the week with a shoulder. Lane could conceivably operate as the second option in the Ravens passing game behind Zay Flowers as early as this week.
