Over The Cap projects Harrison’s option at $19 million, but in announcing they’d pick it up, Jaguars GM James Gladstone said they’ll have “deeper conversations” on a long-term extension. Harrison, 24, had his best season yet in 2025, registering a career-high 75.6 PFF pass block grade while protecting Trevor Lawrence.

Boyd said he “didn’t get the sense” that Pierce is close to a return. Pierce went on injured reserve with a heel injury after Week 2 and wore a cast on his left ankle/heel while rehabbing. It’s a sign of progress for Pierce, who will have his first chance to come back in the Colts’ Week 7 game against the Vikings.

Allen is dealing with a foot injury and is listed as a DNP on the Rams’ estimated practice report. Fellow tight end Colby Parkinson (shoulder) was listed as limited, though he has been dealing with the shoulder injury for a few weeks now and the Rams are likely managing his workload. Parkinson is trending to play. Allen’s potential absence may lead to the Rams activating rookie Max Klare to play alongside Parkinson and fantasy streaming option Tyler Higbee in Week 6.

Jeanty’s previous ankle designation was removed from the injury report and he was a full practice participant on Wednesday. His practice participation lines up with Raiders coach Klint Kubiak saying the 22-year-old running back was starting to “feel a lot better.” Though there were rumors of the Raiders resting Jeanty for a week, he is trending to play in Week 6 against the Bills.

Nailor suffered a concussion in the Raiders’ Week 4 loss to the Chiefs, missing Week 5 against the Patriots while still in the protocol. He starts out the week not practicing, indicating he is not close to clearing protocol. Though he still has a chance to play this week, Nailor does not need to be stashed for fantasy purposes amid a murky wide receiver corps.

Bowers continues his trend of practicing limited to open the week before upgrading to a full practice later in the week and getting cleared off the injury report. Fantasy managers can again expect to see Bowers return top-five fantasy tight end value in Week 6 against the Bills.

Oliver was listed as a non-participant in the Bills’ Wednesday walk-through report. He suffered a knee injury in the Bills’ Week 4 loss to the Patriots and avoided long-term injury, though he has yet to see the practice field. Bills fans should stay tuned to his practice status the rest of the week; Oliver will need some level of participation before the Bills can consider making him active for Week 6.

Moore aggravated a shoulder injury in Week 4 and only practiced with a non-contact surgery on Saturday of last week. After missing Week 5, Moore starts out as a non-practice participant in the Bills’ Wednesday walk-through. He will need at least a limited practice before fantasy managers can start considering him for Week 6 lineups.

Hearing officer Derrick Brooks reduced Jackson’s suspension by one game. Jackson was initially suspended two games for punching Bills EDGE Bradley Chubb after the Rams’ Week 5 loss. He appealed and now gets his suspension reduced by one game. Jackson is eligible to return Week 7 against the Raiders.

Smith was already reported to be working off to the side on Wednesday, but he now adds a toe injury to his existing hamstring injury on the official practice report. Given he is not practicing yet and a new injury is added to his designation, Smith is currently trending in the wrong direction for Week 6 against the Panthers.

Smith-Njigba played through an ankle injury in Week 5 and was limited in practice this week before getting a full designation on Wednesday. Despite the short week ahead of a Thursday matchup against the Broncos, he is off the injury report and good to go. Smith-Njigba is once again a top-three wide receiver option for Week 6.
