NFL Player News

Hufanga exited in the second quarter and went to the locker room shortly after leaving the field. The 2022 All-Pro saw his 2023 season cut short by a torn ACL and made his 2024 debut in Week 3 against the Rams. We hope this isn’t another serious setback for a player who has battled all offseason to return to the field.

Perhaps feeling a bit wistful after spending a little of every week of the season on the injury report, Flowers got re-added Thursday with a limited session. He was limited again on Friday but is expected to play. There’s no further word on how serious this toe injury was, but he’s doing enough on the field in his limited time so far this year that nobody is seriously benching Flowers anyway.

According to Schefter, “the investigation will remain open for the NFL, so it reserves the right to add further discipline if and when warranted.” Yesterday, ESPN’s Rob Demovsky reported that the league is trying to get ahold of the video showing Jacobs’ altercation with a woman at his home. Jacobs is expected to be eligible to play in Week 7 against the Lions. The situation clearly remains in flux, but Jacobs can be stashed on fantasy football benches at this time.

Campbell injured his knee in Week 5, initially causing quite the scare. Fortunately, he was able to practice all week and has a chance to face the Jets and their talented pass-rush group in Week 6.

Cooper missed the first six games of the season while on the list, and his felony court case has been moved to after the season. It’s unclear if the league considers time served on this list as separate from a personal conduct policy violation; it’s possible Cooper faces another suspension at some point. For now, it seems the NFL is content to let him play in Week 7 despite unresolved felony assault charges and domestic violence and harassment charges.

Gonzalez has not played since Week 3, but he returns in time to cover Garrett Wilson in a divisional showdown. Gonzalez primarily lines up on the perimeter, but he has taken 15 combined snaps in the slot and in the box. He could take a few reps on the inside this week, but perimeter CB2 Carlton Davis (neck) is out, so Gonzalez could be asked to simply stay out wide.

He did upgrade to a full practice and Aaron Glenn told reporters he expects Sadiq to play. Sadiq’s fantasy upside is well-known, but with Mason Taylor back and Omar Cooper Jr. also pushing to play, his target volume has shrunk quite a bit from some of the early-season scenarios we’ve seen. He’s likely a TE2 at this point.

The Patriots’ No. 2 running back was limited all week after being diagnosed with a high-ankle sprain. He told reporters today that he was surprised he could practice this week, and is feeling “pretty good.” If active, he will be a FLEX starter, but Rhamondre Stevenson should lead the backfield in touches.

It’ll be the Jalon Daniels show again. Mayfield did not practice at any point this week. Todd Bowles tried to tell us that it was too early to tell earlier today; it wasn’t. We’ll need to see Mayfield on the practice field next week before we think he has a real shot to play against the Panthers in Week 7.

Thompson worked three limited sessions. If active he’ll likely be a boom-bust deep-league FLEX play as the Chargers have struggled to go deep with their current offensive line situation.

Gordon, the team’s starting slot cornerback, and Tyrique Stevenson (hip), the team’s No. 2 perimeter cornerback, are both questionable. Bears LB T.J. Edwards (hamstring) has been ruled out. This defense is banged up, boding positively for the Falcons’ fantasy football outlook.
