We’re not quite sure what to make of this one, but according to the report, the event happened inside the Raiders’ team meeting room last week. While it was a “playful” attempt, Schefter reports the other teammate “didn’t see it that way,” which led to the complaint being filed. Wilkins was released by the Raiders last Thursday and is now seeking to recoup the $35.2 million in guaranteed money that the Raiders hope to void due to Wilkins’ approach to his rehabilitation for the injured foot. Schefter reports this kissing incident was not the sole reason for Wilkins’ release.

Raymond’s fast start to the season has now been erased to the tune of just five catches for 12 yards over the past two weeks. Even with Caleb Williams (hamstring) looking likely to return for Week 6 against the Falcons, Raymond’s brief moment in the 2026 fantasy sun has come and gone.

Filling in for Kyle Monangai (toe), Johnson helped close out a blowout loss. Pro Football Focus charted him as playing the final 13 snaps over D’Andre Swift, goosing his touch totals with No. 3 QB Case Keenum under center. Johnson would perhaps be worth a desperation PPR flier if Monangai remains sidelined for Week 6 against the Falcons and Caleb Williams (hamstring) returns, but “desperation” would be the operative word there.

Active for the first time since Week 2, Taylor caught the second most balls on the team as Kenyon Sadiq departed with a third quarter concussion. Those are awful developments for Sadiq managers, but almost certainly not enough to create TE2 value for Taylor, even if Sadiq misses Week 6 against the Patriots.

Jackson had already been ruled out earlier in the week and reportedly could be looking at a multi-game absence due to an ankle injury suffered before halftime in Week 4. Tyler Huntley will start under center for the Ravens as they look to subdue the momentum of the Falcons, who have won both games started by Michael Penix. Wide receiver Zay Flowers is officially active for Sunday Night Football.

Davis at least touched the ball after his Week 4 doughnut, but Pro Football Focus charted him as getting out-snapped 60-10 by fill-in No. 2 Braelon Allen. Decisive, to say the least. Even if Breece Hall (quad) is forced to miss his third straight game in Week 6, Davis hasn’t shown enough to warrant a 12-team league looksee.

The Falcons remain one of the healthier teams in the league as they enter Week 5 with no major injuries amongst skill position players. They’ll look to maintain the momentum under starting quarterback Michael Penix, who has won his first two starts of the season, against the stingy Ravens on Sunday Night Football.

It sounds like Montgomery is in danger of missing both the Jaguars and Giants games before Houston’s Week 8 bye, assuming this is just a mild injury. Woody Marks will take over as Houston’s lead back for the time being and could be in for sizable role given how no other back received a snap or touch once Montgomery went down in Week 5.

That didn’t take long. Just moments after leaving the game, it was announced that Samuel had suffered a hamstring injury and would not return to the field. Shortly after being ruled out, Samuel was shown walking gingerly to the locker room with trainers. His day ends with a 2-21-0 line on three targets. Samuel also had two carries for four yards and a lost fumble, which came on the play he was injured on.

Fill-in No. 2 wideout Williams is stuck on just four catches in three games during Adonai Mitchell’s surprisingly lengthy absence with a finger injury. The fact that Mitchell was not placed on I.R. suggests the Jets were not expecting more than a three-game absence, so Mitchell could be back as soon as Week 6 against the Patriots. Either way, Williams has not shown enough to earn a spot on 12-team league benches.

Samuel went down after being tripped up on a run play and remained down for an extended period of time after the play. It was hard to tell exactly what happened on the play, but Samuel was able to make his way to the sideline and could be seen sitting on the bench while being evaluated by trainers. We will provide an update on his status when we receive one.
