    Savion Williams (ankle/IR) will not play in Green Bay’s Week 5 game against the Bears.

    Williams isn’t a half-bad IR stash though with almost all of the offense flowing through Christian Watson and Matthew Golden right now. The WR3 room has been thinned with injuries and Jayden Reed (neck) won’t return this year. Williams could play a major role once activated from IR; this is just the first week of his 21-day window where he was designated to return.

    Williams was placed on IR at last cuts without an explanation of the injury, so here it is. Gutekunst said he thinks Williams will be ready when the four-week mandatory stay on IR is over.

    Williams, 24, was a non-factor for Green Bay in 2025 with 10 catches for 78 yards; although he did a solid job as a kick returner with 717 yards on his 28 attempts. The 2025 third-round pick has the athleticism to be a helper in 2026, but fantasy managers in redraft leagues shouldn’t count on it .

    Despite his first useful fantasy game (3/55) in some time last week against Denver, we’d caution against starting Golden in Week 16 as Christian Watson seems likely to play. Savion Williams (foot) is also off the injury report.
  • GB Wide Receiver #11
    Reed returned from foot and shoulder injuries to play in Week 14, getting four targets on the day. He saw a sizeable role, running over 60 percent of available routes; the Packers will limit his practice workload to start the week. Also limited were fellow wide receivers Dontayvion Wicks (ankle) and Savion Williams (foot). Wicks played through the ankle injury in Week 14 while Williams did not practice all of last week. Reed is still trending to play and is the best receiver out of the three, while Wicks is worth a speculative deep league dart throw and Williams is not fantasy relevant.
  • GB Wide Receiver #13
    We’d be surprised if he did anything close to what he did on Thanksgiving against the Bears, but perhaps the 24-year-old has turned over a new leaf with this offense. He’s still a FLEX play at best. The Packers also ruled out WR Savion Williams (foot), who did not practice all week.
  • GB Wide Receiver #83
    He played through the foot listing last week, generating zero yards on his lone touch. Non-dynasty managers don’t have to worry about Williams this season between his lack of progress and Green Bay’s lack of interest in throwing.
  • GB Wide Receiver #87
    Nearly the entire Packers pass-catching group was either limited or not practicing on Wednesday. Doubs was listed as a limited participant with a wrist injury, along with three other Packers wideouts listed as limited and Savion Williams (foot) listed as a non-participant. Doubs is the current lead receiver in an offense that does not have a definitive No. 1 receiver. If he were to miss time, Christian Watson would be first up for a bump, followed by the rookie Matthew Golden. Stay tuned to Doubs and the rest of the Green Bay receivers’ statuses this week; the Packers’ fantasy hierarchy could see a shake-up if multiple receivers cannot play Week 12 against the Vikings.
  • GB Wide Receiver #83
    The third-round rookie’s lone target was his fourth quarter grab which came against extremely tight coverage on 3rd-and-10. It was a highlight-reel level play, and the longest reception of his young career. Williams is playing extremely few snaps even as the Packers hunt for playmakers, but the rare times he’s on the field, he seems to command targets. Six days shy of his 24th birthday, Williams’ advanced age limits his long-term dynasty appeal, but he remains worth an end-of-bench spot.
  • GB Wide Receiver #13
    Ditto Savion Williams, as both got in three limited sessions and are likely on the optimistic side of questionable. Malik Heath could get involved if one of these two receivers gets ruled out ahead of the action on Sunday. As it is, Wicks profiles as a FLEX dart throw and Williams probably shouldn’t be started without either Wicks or Jayden Reed being ruled out.
  • GB Wide Receiver #13
    Wicks appears to be truly questionable for the Packers’ Week 1 game against the Lions. He picked up the injury at the end of July and was allowed to return after just two days off. The issue again forced him from practice in mid-August, and it apparently remains an issue heading into the season’s opening weekend. The Packers could be thin at wide receiver this weekend, clearing the way for rookie Matthew Golden to secure a starting role. Christian Watson (knee) is sidelined for at least four weeks and Jayden Reed (foot) was unable to practice today. Third-round rookie WR Savion Williams (hamstring) was limited.

    Mark Andrews caught 4-of-6 targets for 28 yards in the Ravens’ Week 5 win over the Falcons.

    Andrews dropped a would-be touchdown on the team’s opening possession on a ball that went through his hands in the end zone. He would then fumble on the following possession, which Jessie Bates returned for a touchdown to force the Ravens into catch-up mode for the remainder of the game. Luckily for him, late heroics from Tyler Huntley and Derrick Henry had the team escaping with a victory. Andrews has not looked great to start the 2026 season, having not eclipsed 50 yards through five games. He’ll remain a shaky fantasy start in Week 6 when the Ravens host the Browns.

    Zay Flowers caught 8-of-9 targets for 53 yards in the Ravens’ Week 5 win over the Falcons, adding 13 yards on one carry.

    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.

    Rashod Bateman caught 5-of-6 targets for 62 yards in the Ravens’ Week 5 win over the Falcons.

    Bateman had a relatively quiet game until notching 38 yards on three receptions on the team’s final possession of regulation, helping to spur an improbable comeback victory in overtime. The team took the ball with just over two minutes remaining down by eight, eventually driving the field and tacking on a two-point conversion to send the game to extra time. Bateman remains a shaky FLEX option for as long as Zay Flowers remains healthy, which doesn’t change ahead of a Week 6 meeting with the Browns.

    Derrick Henry rushed 24 times for 102 yards in the Ravens’ Week 5 win over the Falcons, adding 18 yards and a touchdown on one reception.

    Henry also tacked on a successful two-point conversion to further pad his counting stats. The King erupted for 59 yards in the first half before being largely held in check for the final two quarters with the Ravens playing from behind. He would watch from the sidelines for the duration of the team’s final possession in the two-minute drill but came on the field to tie the game with a two-point conversion on a direct snap. The Falcons were no match for Henry in the extra frame, with the bruising back tacking on an additional 32 yards on the ground on the team’s lone overtime possession. Henry continues to turn back the clock while notching his eighth touchdown in five appearances, having scored in every game to start the season. He remains an elite RB1 ahead of a Week 6 meeting with the Browns.

    Tyler Huntley completed 24-of-32 passes for 201 yards and two touchdowns in the Ravens’ 30-23, Week 5 win over the Falcons, adding 20 yards and a touchdown on six carries.

    Huntley was in command of the offense throughout, showing poise and pocket presence in the face of one of the most stout defensive fronts in the league. The Ravens marched the field on the opening possession but a dropped touchdown from tight end Mark Andrews forced them to settle for a field goal. Their next possession resulted in a Mark Andrews fumble that was returned for a touchdown, forcing the Ravens to play from behind for the remainder of the game. Down by eight with just over two minutes remaining in the fourth quarter, Huntley took the ball and led the team to a touchdown and successful two-point conversion to force overtime. He would then lead an opening possession touchdown drive in the extra frame, with the team escaping with an unlikely comeback victory on a game-sealing interception. Huntley could be tasked with another start in Week 6 against the Browns after late-week reports indicated that Lamar Jackson could be headed for another absence. Huntley will be a middling QB2, should he start.

    Kyle Pitts caught 5-of-6 targets for 42 yards and a touchdown in the Falcons’ Week 5 loss to the Ravens.

    Pitts remained largely confined to short area work with his game-long reception going for only 13 yards. A second quarter touchdown from five yards out gave the veteran tight end his first trip to paint through five games and his five receptions doubled that of his previous four appearances. Pitts remains a difficult weekly start for as long as Drake London and Bijan Robinson remain healthy, which doesn’t change ahead of a Week 6 meeting with the Bears in Atlanta.

    Jahan Dotson caught 2-of-4 targets for 54 yards in the Falcons’ Week 5 loss to the Ravens.

    Dotson’s 54 yards finished second on the team behind alpha Drake London but his four targets finished behind London, Kyle Pitts, and Bijan Robinson. His status as the starting wide receiver opposite London likely means little in the wake of modest volume games that continue to stack up. He can safely be left on, or returned to, the waiver wire.

    Drake London caught 7-of-11 targets for 118 yards in the Falcons’ Week 5 loss to the Ravens.

    London started slow along with the rest of an Atlanta offense that gained just 37 total yards on their first three possessions before a 78-yard scoring drive to end the half. He would add six receptions after the break to push his season average to 127 yards per game in games started by Michael Penix. Penix departed late in the fourth quarter with a ribs injury, suddenly making London’s fantasy managers skittish after the veteran receiver managed a meager 80 total yards in two games without Penix to begin the season. Fantasy managers will want to monitor Atlanta’s starting quarterback’s status in the coming days ahead of a Week 6 meeting with the Bears, where London will be a WR1 with Penix or an upside WR3 in his absence.

    Bijan Robinson rushed 17 times for 86 yards in the Falcons’ Week 5 loss to the Ravens, adding 32 yards on four receptions.

    Robinson suffered through poor offensive efficiency in the first half, finally breaking loose for a 38-yard carry on the team’s first possession of the third quarter. Although the receiving production and yardage total were enough to salvage a usable fantasy week, it was only the second time in five games in which Robinson failed to find the end zone. Robinson remains an elite fantasy RB1 ahead of a Week 6 showdown against the Bears in Atlanta.

    Tua Tagovailoa completed 2-of-3 passes for 34 yards and an interception in the Falcons’ 30-23, Week 5 loss to the Ravens.

    Tagovailoa came on in relief of the injured Michael Penix late in the fourth quarter and would be charged with leading the Falcons to a potential game-tying drive in overtime after the Ravens took the ball and scored a touchdown to start the extra period. He completed one pass at the end of the fourth quarter, one in overtime, and then threw a game-ending interception to send the Falcons to a 2-3 record ahead of a Week 6 meeting with the Bears. Fantasy managers of Penix will want to track his status closely in the coming days.
