Meyers catches two passes in Week 5 win vs. PHI

Pitcher suggested that when they run the ball more from shotgun — as they did last week against the Dolphins — Perine’s a better fit for those kinds of plays. The Bengals spent a lot of time this offseason working on an under center run game to get Brown more explosives, but that has gone for naught early on in the season. We may indeed see more Perine in Cincinnati’s running game after they return from the bye week, lowering Brown into the RB2 range.

We, too, would like to simply be given valuable things for no reason. Jeudy has fallen off the fantasy map enough that we’re now simply blurbing trade possibilities for him. The 27-year-old’s only real fantasy value at this point is hoping he gets traded somewhere where he can get involved again.

Coker was spotted practicing on Tuesday (there will be no injury report for this one) and seems like he’s well on track to return. He’ll be a fringe WR2/WR3 against the Eagles in Week 6.

He’ll apparently get a 53-man roster spot after some roster machinations over the next few days. Demercado has lost the backup job to Tyler Goodson and doesn’t need to factor into any fantasy calculations at this time.

He’ll replace Robert Henry, who signed to Seattle’s active roster, as Washington’s practice squad back.

Jennings has been a major disappointment in Minnesota, falling behind Tai Felton on the depth chart. A small stakes trade could make sense for the 49ers, who are down to hoping Brandin Cooks can provide for Brock Purdy in a major rash of injuries.

The Eagles defense is one of the better units in the NFL, but it has been quite banged up of late and losing Hunt here is not ideal. We’ll see if they can blot out Bryce Young’s strong start with the Panthers in Week 6.

A report in September told us that Etienne would be ready to come off injured reserve ahead of Week 6’s game against the Eagles. That appears to be coming to fruition. He’ll try to cut into AJ Dillon’s reserve role.

Last week’s offensive line in front of Justin Herbert featured four rookies and Cole Strange. It doesn’t look like it’s getting much better in Week 6.

Harris will probably have a real chance to play in Week 8, after the Chargers’ Week 7 bye. He thudded to a 16-yard outing in his big chance last week with Quentin Johnston and Ladd McConkey out and doesn’t necessarily need to be rostered if you’re in a bye week crunch.
