  • LAC Wide Receiver #5
    Chargers WR Joshua Palmer (knee) was limited in Wednesday’s practice.
    Palmer was added to the Week 1 injury report on Thursday after being left off it entirely the day before. He still played through the issue with a full complement of snaps before being ejected at the start of the fourth quarter. His limited status today is likely just maintenance for a veteran wideout. Palmer should be good to go for his Week 2 matchup with the Panthers.
  • ATL Cornerback #32
    Falcons released CB Kevin King.
    The team is expected to elevate LB Nate Landman (quad) to the active roster after activating him from injured reserve via the 21-day practice window on Wednesday. King played seven snaps this season, allowing one 13-yard completion on one target.
  • LAC Defensive Back #36
    Chargers ruled out CB Ja’Sir Taylor (fibula) for Week 6 against the Broncos.
    CB Asante Samuel Jr. (shoulder) was also ruled out. While an elite secondary is not required to limit Bo Nix, the Chargers’ defensive losses are notable here. Nix could have an easier-than-expected time returning QB2 value.
  • LAC Linebacker #97
    Joey Bosa (hip) is questionable for Week 6 against the Broncos.
    Bosa was limited on Friday after sitting out practice on both Thursday and Friday. The talented edge player seems likely to miss another week, nursing his persistent hip issue.
  • LAC Running Back #4
    Chargers ruled out Gus Edwards (ankle) for Week 6 against the Broncos.
    Edwards’ absence ignites a battle between enticing rookie Kimani Vidal and the hulking Hassan Haskins for the No. 2 role. Fantasy managers should consider stashing either player, though Vidal’s three-down profile offers more upside.
  • DEN Running Back #23
    Broncos RB Audrice Estime (ankle) is questionable for Week 6 against the Chargers.
    Estime practiced in full this week and should come off injured reserve over the weekend. Tyler Badie broke off a few big runs in Estime’s absence but suffered a back injury and is now on injured reserve as well, leaving the RB3 gig open once again. Estime should fill that role upon returning. He is worth a speculative add in deep leagues but is mostly off the redraft radar for now.
  • LAC Tackle #76
    Chargers RT Joe Alt (knee) was removed from the injury report and will play in Week 6 against the Broncos.
    Alt closed the week with two Full Participant practice designations, so he is good to go. RT Rashawn Slater (pectoral) was limited all week and appears to be truly questionable.
  • LAC Quarterback #10
    Justin Herbert (ankle) was removed from the injury report and will play in Week 6 against the Broncos.
    Herbert faces the Broncos’ blitz-heavy defense in Week 6. His low passing volume coupled with the difficult matchup keep him firmly in the QB2 ranks. The Chargers should also get at least one starting tackle back in the lineup this week.
  • LV Defensive End #98
    Raiders EDGE Maxx Crosby (ankle) was removed from the injury report and will play in Week 6 against the Steelers.
    Crosby was held out of the first two practices of the week after playing through the ankle issue last Sunday. Despite being far from fully healthy, Crosby brought down Bo Nix twice in Week 5. The star EDGE will look to find paydirt versus a sack-prone Justin Fields this week.
  • LV Running Back #3
    Zamir White (groin) is questionable for Week 6 against the Steelers.
    White was held out of the first two practices of the week before returning for a limited session on Friday. He missed Week 5 with the groin issue. Alexander Mattison drew the start in his absence and ran 15 times for 38 yards while adding two receptions for 23 yards. White would reclaim his two-down role if active, but this looks like a backfield to avoid given the spiraling state of the Las Vegas offense.
  • NE Wide Receiver #84
    Kendrick Bourne (knee) is questionable for Week 6 against the Texans.
    Bourne could establish himself as a high-floor flex option at some point but his second game post-ACL coupled with Drake Maye’s first start makes for a risky start. Bourne is best left in free agency or at the end of long benches for now.
