Gonzalez (6'2/200) has started in each of his two seasons at Colorado, logging 77 career tackles and eight pass breakups over that span. Gonzalez allowed 30 receptions for 320 yards and three touchdowns this season, and held a Pro Football Focus coverage grade of 72.4. A former four-star recruit from the 2020 recruiting class, Gonzalez was rated as the no. 31 safety of his class according to 247Sports’ composite rankings, as the Texas native also had offers from Arizona State, Notre Dame, Alabama and Arkansas, among other top-flight programs.

The Raiders appear set to be extremely shorthanded at wide receiver with Davante Adams already ruled out. Tight end Brock Bowers is set up well for immense volume in Week 6, while the team is likely going to be forced to start Tre Tucker, Tyreik McAllister, and DJ Turner at wide receiver.

That provides another opportunity for rookie running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. to serve as the team’s lead back after gaining 129 yards on 18 carries to go along with one reception against the Seahawks a week ago. Tracy becomes a must-start in fantasy in Singletary’s absence.

Thomas will join rookie Ja’Tavion Sanders as the primary tight ends for the Panthers in Week 6 after Tommy Tremble was ruled out with a concussion. Neither are overly exciting for fantasy purposes outside of the deepest leagues.

Reynolds underwent “minor surgery” on his finger on Friday and was previously reported to only be looking at a minor absence. He will now miss at least four games while on injured reserve. This cements Lil’Jordan Humphrey as the team’s WR2 moving forward.

Estime rejoins a crowded backfield spearheaded by Javonte Williams, with Jaleel McLaughlin and undrafted free agent Blake Watson. Although Williams is the top option on paper, he has averaged just 10.6 carries to go with 4.0 targets per game.

Mosley managed a week of limited practices after missing the previous three weeks with a toe injury. He’ll look to return to action after a week of coaching changes in New York after head coach Robert Saleh was fired.

Conklin managed a full week of limited sessions and ultimately drew the questionable tag for Monday Night Football against the Bills in Week 6. Considering the timing of the game, fantasy managers could consider making backup plans at tight end this week.

Robinson faced an uphill battle after injuring his knee just before halftime in Week 5 and will now miss the team’s Week 6 showdown with the high-flying Ravens. It remains to be seen if Austin Ekeler will see a significant uptick in snaps and opportunities in his absence, but the team has shown a propensity to trust Jeremy McNichols with early-down work.

Samuel has played all but four defensive snaps for the Chargers this season, making his absence for the next four games notable. Expect 2024 fifth-round rookie Cam Hart to fill in for Samuel while he’s out.

Edwards had taken a back seat to J.K. Dobbins through four weeks, seeing 38 carries and one target to the 56 carries and 11 targets of Dobbins. Sixth-round rookie running back Kimani Vidal should step into the vacated snaps and opportunities left behind by Edwards for at least the next four weeks. The Chargers currently average 28.8 rush attempts per game, 11th in the league.
