    Ravens WR Zay Flowers (lower body) did not practice Monday.

    Flowers has been a bit banged up in the latter portions of the offseason program, missing practices for two separate issues over the previous month. Even so, the team continues to assert he will be fine for Week 1. Fantasy managers will want to track his status over the coming two weeks.

    Flowers has yet to find the end zone in back-to-back games with Tyler Huntley under center, but the 10 targets per game he has averaged over that span is still encouraging. Flowers led the Ravens in targets by a wide margin in this week’s loss, with his biggest play coming on a 31-yard reception in the third quarter. Scoring opportunities were scarce in this one, as the Ravens managed just 10 points on their first two drives and were shut out for the rest of the game. Flowers will be in the WR1 conversation next week against the Bengals if Lamar Jackson (ankle) makes the start, but would be more of a WR2 if Huntley gets the nod for a third straight week.

    Perhaps feeling a bit wistful after spending a little of every week of the season on the injury report, Flowers got re-added Thursday with a limited session. He was limited again on Friday but is expected to play. There’s no further word on how serious this toe injury was, but he’s doing enough on the field in his limited time so far this year that nobody is seriously benching Flowers anyway.
  • BAL Wide Receiver #4
    Flowers played through a foot injury last week, catching 8-of-9 targets for 53 yards and rushing once for 13 yards. This injury could be related, but we really don’t know. Flowers’ productivity took a hit with Tyler Huntley running the offense last week. Huntley is currently in line to start again, though Lamar Jackson’s (ankle) status is still up in the air. If the toe injury limits Flowers, that further complicates things, but he still must be started if active. Hopefully, he practices tomorrow.
  • BAL Wide Receiver #4
    Flowers was largely confined to short area work with Tyler Huntley under center and also saw a 26-yard reception erased from his ledger due to a 29-yard pass interference penalty on the play. It was a weird situation in which the penalty yardage was greater than his reception. Fantasy managers might be forced to continue waiting on the return of Lamar Jackson after it was reported this week that the All Pro starter could be forced to miss another week. Flowers is a locked-in WR2 against the Browns in Week 6 with Huntley under center and an elite WR1 should Jackson return.
  • BAL Quarterback #8
    Jackson had already been ruled out earlier in the week and reportedly could be looking at a multi-game absence due to an ankle injury suffered before halftime in Week 4. Tyler Huntley will start under center for the Ravens as they look to subdue the momentum of the Falcons, who have won both games started by Michael Penix. Wide receiver Zay Flowers is officially active for Sunday Night Football.
  • BAL Wide Receiver #4
    Flowers was limited in practice throughout the week but never appeared at risk of missing Sunday night’s game. The bigger issue for him will be the absence of Lamar Jackson. Flowers has been the most efficient receiver in the league on a per-route basis this year. That will come back to Earth sans Jackson, but he remains on the WR1/2 border, even with Tyler Huntley under center.
  • BAL Wide Receiver #4
    Flowers got in three limited sessions while dealing with the foot injury. He loses ceiling with Tyler Huntley under center, but remains a rock solid low-end WR1 in terms of how much volume he amasses in this passing attack.
  • BAL Wide Receiver #4
    Flowers appears well on track to play this week after two limited sessions on Wednesday and Thursday. His ceiling will probably take a small hit with Lamar Jackson out, but he remains the only game in town in Baltimore and should still have WR1 viability.
  • BAL Wide Receiver #4
    Flowers was not present during the portion of practice open to the media earlier today, though it was assumed that this was a maintenance issue relating to his multi-week hamstring strain. It turns out Flowers is dealing with a new injury. It is unclear when the injury occurred. If it was an in-game issue last week, then beginning Week 5 with a limited practice is a great sign for his availability. Stay tuned.
  • BAL Wide Receiver #4
    Initially, it looked like Flowers might not practice today. He was not present during the portion of practice open to the media, but apparently joined his teammates later on. He will likely be catching passes from backup QB Tyler Huntley against the Falcons this weekend, but he remains WR2-viable at worst.

    Titans released DT Jordan Elliott.

    Elliott, per a team statement, was involved in what the team cryptically refers to as “an incident at our team facility” on October 15. He was a healthy scratch this weekend and was let go on Tuesday after signing a two-year contract this offseason. The club has refused further comment.

    Packers OC Adam Stenavich said Josh Jacobs “will help for sure” and that he “looks great.”

    Matt LaFleur did not publicly commit to playing Jacobs ahead of Week 7’s date with the Lions, but his offensive coordinator — who also said he’d “provide a spark for our offense” — seemed to let the cat out of the bag that Jacobs will be involved in some way. Whether that’s a start or as part of a committee remains in some limbo, but we’d be surprised if Jacobs wasn’t involved in Week 7.

    The Athletic’s Jourdan Rodrigue believes Browns assistant GM and VP of football operations Catherine Hickman may be a name to watch in Indianapolis’ GM search.

    Rodrigue reports that Browns GM Andrew Berry’s endorsement of a candidate “may hold some weight” for Colts owner Carlie Irsay-Gordon as he was “instructive” to Irsay-Gordon’s football development. Thus, two of the top names on Rodrigue’s list of candidates for the Colts GM job are Hickman and the Browns other assistant GM/VP of football operations, Glenn Cook. She also mentions Adam Berry — Eagles assistant GM and twin brother of Andrew — and Eagles VP of football operations Alan Wolking, among others.

    Free agent K Justin Tucker visited the Dolphins on Tuesday.

    Since his 10-game suspension for violating the league’s personal conduct policy over sexual misconduct allegations, Tucker has tried out for the Saints, Colts, Jets, and now Dolphins over the past two seasons. He lost out to Zane Gonzalez for this job despite what, per Aaron Wilson, was an impressive workout.

    Giants released Najee Harris.

    The move comes a couple days after Harris criticized the New York coaching staff for its handling of the backfield touch distribution. “It’s hard to get into a rhythm with one or two plays...if you’re getting a play here and then get taken out for a series, there’s nothing you could do,” Harris said after the Giants’ Week 6 loss to the Saints. “I’ve never been through none of this before.” Harris had 31 rushes for 99 scoreless yards before getting the boot. With Harris gone, Cam Skattebo could get another chance to see increased playing time after being all but benched last week. Tyrone Tracy, who led the team in rushing attempts against New Orleans, could be the de facto lead back for now.

    Dolphins signed Zane Gonzalez, formerly of the Falcons.

    Gonzalez reportedly beat our Justin Tucker in a tryout for Miami and will sign with the team pending a physical. Gonzalez, a journeyman who has played for five teams since entering the NFL in 2017, will replace Riley Patterson, who has missed two of his seven field goal attempts in 2026. Gonzalez will not be a fantasy option in Miami.

    Colts head coach Shane Steichen said Alec Pierce (heel) won’t practice this week.

    Pierce, dealing with a heel injury since mid-September, will continue rehabbing and remain on injured reserve ahead of the Colts’ Week 7 game against the Vikings. Since Week 3, Keenan Allen leads the Colts with a 24 percent target share, while Josh Downs 17 percent of the team’s targets and 26 percent of the team’s air yards. Neither wideout is a great option in Week 7 against a marauding Minnesota defense.

    Ravens signed Jake Moody to the team’s practice squad.

    Moody could serve as competition for Tyler Loop after Loop’s early-season struggles. Loop has made ten of his 13 field goals attempts and all 16 of his extra points through Week 6. Moody — a career 78 percent kicker — competed with Loop for starting duties ahead of the regular season. Whoever ends up kicking for Baltimore will be fantasy relevant.

    ESPN’s John Keim reports Terry McLaurin’s knee injury is considered “significant.”

    Washington head coach Dan Quinn said after the team’s Monday night loss to the 49ers that there was “fear” McLaurin could be lost for the long-term after going down with a non-contact injury and was carted to the locker room. McLaurin has functioned as the team’s lone downfield threat for much of the season, and could be replaced with Treylon Burks, who on Monday night caught four balls for 66 yards before sustaining a late-game injury. Antonio Williams and Dyami Brown could also see an increase in routes and targets if McLaurin is sidelined for a while. Look for Chig Okonkwo to see an uptick in targets too. Okonkwo had seven grabs for 69 yards against the Niners.

    Sports Illustrated’s John Shipley believes it could make long-term sense for the Commanders to acquire Brian Thomas, Jr.

    Shipley mentions the Commanders and Rams as wideout-desperate teams who might be interested in trading for Thomas before the NFL’s trade deadline. The Jaguars have apparently soured on the one-time burgeoning star in recent weeks; against the Texans in Week 6, Thomas ran a pass route on just 28 percent of the Jags’ drop backs and saw two targets. The Commanders, meanwhile, lost Terry McLaurin to a potentially long-term knee injury on Monday night. Thomas, per Shipley, “is not a trade that would make a ton of sense for a Commanders team that might be losing a ton of games and needs their picks to rebuild ... but it would make sense for a general manager who needs to keep his job to give his quarterback a familiar and talented target. Daniels was Thomas’ quarterback during their final seasons at LSU, and the connection between the two could go a long-way toward solving some of Washington’s long-term issues at the wide receiver position.” BTJ’s fantasy prospects would get a big boost if he were to land in Washington in the coming weeks.
