Ryan O’Callaghan may be the Pats’ strongest player according to Madden ’08, but Kaczur’s athleticism fits the team’s zone-blocking schemes better.

Waddle departed early in the third quarter and was quickly deemed questionable to return with a shoulder injury. It is unclear when the injury occurred. Waddle managed to catch just 2-of-5 targets for 15 yards prior to departing, keeping his usable weeks total at just two games through the first six weeks of the 2026 season. Fantasy managers that invested a fourth-round pick on the veteran wide receiver have got to begin to make alternate plans at wide receiver moving forward.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
