    Chargers coach Jim Harbaugh said WR Brenen Thompson (quad) will resume practicing on Wednesday.

    Thompson is unlikely to be FLEX-viable, but the Chargers need all the help they can get, and he at least took a few first-team reps during preseason play. At worst, his speed will help keep safeties honest whenever he retakes the field on game day.

    Johnston is on track to play, but this wide receiver corps is very banged up. KeAndre Lambert-Smith (hamstring) and Brenen Thompson (quad) remained limited as well. Marquez Valdes-Scantling (ribs) upgraded to full.
  • LAC Wide Receiver #1
    Johnston, KeAndre Lambert-Smith (hamstring), Brenen Thompson (quad), and Marquez Valdes-Scantling (rib) were all limited Wednesday. Lambert-Smith currently has his practice window for return from IR open while the others are dealing with a varying level of ailments. Johnston is the best fantasy option out of this group, but he is only worth FLEX consideration in the deepest of leagues. With Ladd McConkey (foot) also limited, the Chargers have several “maybes” ahead of a Week 6 matchup against the Chiefs.
  • LAC Wide Receiver #89
    He resumed practicing on Wednesday, was downgraded on Thursday, and was ruled out on Friday. There’s a Chargers short story somewhere in there. Thompson hasn’t played since Week 2. Non-dynasty leaguers don’t have to care about this.
  • LAC Wide Receiver #1
    Johnston and TE Charlie Kolar (forearm) both remained limited today, though WR Brenen Thompson (quad) downgraded. He did not practice, nor did Ladd McConkey (foot). Tre’ Harris could end up being the Chargers’ No. 1 wide receiver, but he would only be a FLEX against the Broncos.
  • LAC Wide Receiver #1
    In addition to Johnston, TE Charlie Kolar (forearm) and WR Brenen Thompson (quad) were also limited. Johnston has played in every game this season, but pops up on the practice report with a chest issue on Wednesday. He is not yet in danger of missing Week 5, barring setbacks later in the week. Neither Thompson nor Kolar have played since Week 2 but both have a chance to return this week against the Broncos. With Ladd McConkey (foot) not practicing, Johnston may have fantasy value as the Chargers’ No. 1 wideout this week.
  • LAC Wide Receiver #89
    Thompson didn’t play last week with the quad issue and may be an IR candidate over the weekend. He hasn’t practiced in either of the last two weeks. He has one catch for 13 yards in 22 offensive snaps so far. You may cut bait in non-dynasty leagues.
  • LAC Wide Receiver #89
    Thompson missed Week 3 with the quad issue. A DNP today makes it unlikely he is cleared for Week 4. Tre’ Harris will continue to go unchallenged as the team’s WR3. He could even push Quentin Johnston for the No. 2 job if the former first-round pick continues to struggle.
  • LAC Wide Receiver #89
    He didn’t practice at any point this week and should be regarded as questionable for Week 4 at this time. Thompson played just 22 snaps in LA’s first two games, so his absence won’t necessarily free up more snaps for anyone else.
  • LAC Wide Receiver #89
    The Chargers’ rookie speedster is on the wrong side of questionable. Thompson is not fantasy-relevant on his own, but having him available is a plus for the offense overall. He will likely miss the Chargers’ Week 3 game against the Bills, though.
  • LAC Wide Receiver #89
    Thompson injured his hip during the preseason and was on the Week 1 injury report as a limited participant twice. He was eventually cleared and has played in both of LA’s losses. Thompson wasn’t on the injury report last week, so this could be a new issue. Either way, the rookie appears to be on the wrong side of questionable for Week 3. He is not on the fantasy radar, but his absence could get Tre’ Harris on the field for a few more routes.

    Elijah Arroyo (arm) was taken to the locker room in the second quarter of week 6 against the Broncos.

    Arroyo was injured while trying to recover a Rashid Shaheed fumble in the second quarter and was promptly escorted to the locker room with trainers helping to stabilize his arm. It appeared to be a potential wrist or shoulder injury based on how the staff helped him off the field. The second-year tight end was not targeted prior to departing and appears to be on the wrong side of questionable to return to Week 6.

    Brock Bowers (knee) practiced in full on Thursday.

    The Raiders continue managing Bowers’ practice reps early in the week, though he plays unrestrictedly on game day. The Raiders face the Bills in Week 6, likely facilitating a fantasy-friendly game environment. Bowers should be treated as the overall TE1 as usual this week.

    49ers coach Kyle Shanahan said Demarcus Robinson (ankle) has an “outside chance” to return in Week 7 against the Falcons.

    The 49ers go on bye in Week 8. Shanahan says that Robinson is more likely to return after that, in time to face the Raiders in Week 9. Robinson can be stashed in injured reserve spots, if need be, but he is not a must-stash type of player. Depending on how the 49ers’ wide receiver corps looks, Robinson can likely be snagged off waivers during the bye week for those in need at the wide receiver position.

    Davis Allen (foot) did not practice on Thursday.

    Allen remains out, and Parkinson (shoulder) remains limited. Tyler Higbee has played productively in the Rams’ No. 1 tight end role, and he should be expected to do so again this week against the Cardinals.

    Jeremiyah Love (ankle) did not practice on Thursday.

    Tyler Allgeier should be rostered in 10-team leagues. The Cardinals have downplayed Love’s ankle issues, but two missed practices are not a good sign. He still has a chance to suit up in Week 6 against the Rams, but he is currently on the wrong side of questionable.

    Ashton Jeanty (foot) said he is feeling “great” and “ready to go” for Week 6 against the Bills.

    The quotes read a tad bit more enthusiastically than Jeanty did while speaking to media members at his locker, but this is still good to hear. Jeanty has been dealing with an ankle injury for a long time, but the team took that injury off the weekly practice report this week. He is now listed only with the foot injury after experiencing “a flare-up of plantar fasciitis” last Friday. Jeanty is a low-end RB1 against the Bills this week.

    Seahawks declared LB Drake Thomas, CB Avery Smith, WR Montorie Foster Jr., DT Brandon Pili, QB Jalen Milroe, LB Chazz Surratt and RB Robert Henry inactive for Week 6 against the Broncos.

    Thomas is dealing with an ankle injury and needs more time to get healthy. The Seahawks recently signed Henry, a rookie, but evidently he will not play this evening, despite the Seahawks’ running back group being a tad thin due to injuries. The Seahawks face the Broncos on Thursday Night Football.

    Riley Moss (ribs) is active for Week 6 against the Seahawks.

    Moss, one of the Broncos’ starting cornerbacks, returns from a one-game absence. He injured his ribs in Week 4 against the 49ers. The Broncos declared QB Sam Ehlinger, OL Kage Casey, TE Dallen Bentley, DL Jordan Jackson and DL Tyler Onyedim inactive for Week 6 against the Seahawks. Ehlinger will serve as the team’s emergency third quarterback.

    Terry McLaurin (hamstring) was limited on Thursday.

    McLaurin posted a 4/62 receiving line, playing through this hamstring injury in Week 5 against the Giants. Kicking off the week with a limited session is a great sign for his Week 6 availability and overall health. Expect McLaurin to be even more involved against the 49ers on Monday night.

    Austin Ekeler (chest) was limited on Thursday.

    Ekeler and Jacory Croskey-Merritt (groin) are both ailing, though the latter player sat out entirely. Rachaad White (shoulder) and Jeremy McNichols (quad) are both practicing in full. Croskey-Merritt is the only fantasy-relevant Commanders running back at this time, assuming he is good to go on Monday night.
