Skattebo is undoubtedly a bit sore after touching the ball 27 times on Sunday, but a full practice means he is good to go for Week 5. Tyrone Tracy is out for at least one more week, leaving the bulk of the backfield touches to the rookie. Facing an 0-4 Saints squad, the Giants should be able to establish a ground-heavy approach this week. That, of course, means another hefty workload for Skattebo, who is a high-end RB2 for Week 5.01 October 2025
Fowler notes that Horton “has six catches on 10 targets for 74 yards and two touchdowns” and scored a third touchdown on a franchise-best 95-yard punt return. Kupp has been held under 35 receiving yards in 3-of-4 games despite leading the Seahawks’ wide receiver corps with 171 offensive snaps. The fifth-round rookie could see increased opportunities in the coming weeks, though unseating Kupp, who the front office signed to a three-year, $45 million contract this offseason, will not be easy ...01 October 2025
Richardson’s theoretical reset might take a little longer than that, but this is an intriguing scenario. ESPN’s Dan Graziano chimed in to say that he remembers “a couple of teams wondering whether Indy would be open to moving him during free agency.” Matthew Stafford began the year with worrying back problems, entering his age-37 season. He, of course, now ranks top three in passing yards (1,114) and touchdowns (eight), so there is no immediate need in Los Angeles and Fowler did not actu ...01 October 2025
Bond is set to assume a larger role in the offense with WR Cedric Tillman (hamstring) landing on injured reserve this week. Bond posted season highs in routes (27), targets (six), receptions (three) and yards (58) last week. He is tough to trust against the Vikings in rookie QB Dillon Gabriel’s first start, but he should be stashed by wide receiver-needy managers. ESPN’s Dan Graziano adds that Fannin’s “usage will only expand” as the season progresses.

Dart left Week 4’s win over the Chargers for a concussion evaluation and also suffered a hamstring injury. He returned after a brief check from the medical staff. While Dart needs to do a better job of protecting his body, he appears to be fine after a rollercoaster of an NFL debut. His rushing output will keep him in the QB2 ranks for Week 5 versus the Saints.01 October 2025
Smith logged 19 offensive snaps last week, hitting the double-digit mark for the first time this season. He likewise hit season highs in carries (four) and targets (four). Isiah Pacheco and Kareem Hunt are playing very inefficiently and Smith’s pass-catching profile fits well with the Chiefs’ preferred offensive approach. His chance to establish himself as the Chiefs’ committee leader, or more, appears to be upon us. Seventh-round rookies cannot be viewed as guaranteed to succeed, but he i ...01 October 2025
We aren’t awfully worried about Garrett’s status for Week 5 yet. Garrett doesn’t need the practice reps and a “day to day” status typically isn’t a big deal for veteran players. He should be good to go for Week 5 versus Minnesota as long as he practices in some capacity before the final injury report is released. Garrett has four sacks this year and will look to add to the total versus Carson Wentz on Sunday.01 October 2025
Vikings head coach Kevin O’Connell told reporters on Tuesday he hoped McCarthy would practice at some point this week, but that won’t happen today. McCarthy was already unlikely to suit up on Sunday. A DNP to open the week all but locks Carson Wentz in as the starter. McCarthy is likely eying a Week 7 return after the team’s Week 6 bye.01 October 2025
We expect Hubbard to be listed as a non-participant on the injury report later today. The Panthers’ starter played through Week 4 without re-injuring his calf, which is a positive. Unfortunately, Panthers head coach Dave Canales is evidently dead set on rotating No. 2 RB Rico Dowdle in fairly regularly, which limits Hubbard’s weekly upside. He has a great matchup against the Dolphins this week, though, so he should play efficiently on his limited workload.01 October 2025
Jackson missed Week 4 with the wrist injury and will likely remain sideliend for the Vikings’ upcoming matchup with the Browns. Center Ryan Kelly suffered a concussion in Week 4 and right tackle Brian O’Neill went down with a knee injury. Neither player practiced on Wednesday. Carson Wentz is set to face the Browns without three of his starting offensive linemen.01 October 2025
This was the expectation after NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported Jackson’s status as “week to week” earlier today. Previous reports have also indicated that Jackson will not suit up for Week 5 against the Texans. All signs point to Cooper Rush making his first start as a Raven. Rush was a competent passer in Dallas last year, going 4-4 as a starter while Dak Prescott nursed a hamstring injury late in the year. Losing Jackson is a devastating blow to the Baltimore offense, but Rush is a ...01 October 2025
Per head coach Doug McDermott, linebacker Matt Milano is also expected to be limited in practice. The Bills lost both defenders after Week 1. Neither player has practiced since, so even a limited session to open the week is a step in the right direction. At 4-0, the Bills don’t need to rush either player back. Drake Maye and the Patriots will be hoping both players take their time while recovering ahead of their Week 5 date on Sunday night.01 October 2025
Benson was placed on injured reserve today after suffering an injury late in the Cardinals’ Week 4 loss to the Seahawks. The injury quickly went from making him questionable for Week 5 to sidelining him for over a month. Emari Demercado and Michael Carter will be the Cardinals’ top two backs for now. Demercado will get the first crack at the starting job with Carter likely mixing in every few drives. Both running backs will be priority waiver wire adds this week with injuries mounting and by ...01 October 2025
McLaurin could make a surprise appearance later in the session, but things are trending toward a DNP for his first practice of Week 5. McLaurin missed Week 4 with the quad issue and was considered week to week as of the end of last week. Dan Quinn said on Monday that he was trending in the right direction, though he didn’t say if he expected McLaurin to return for Week 5. Deebo Samuel will operate as the team’s top wideout if McLaurin remains out, putting him in the WR2 ranks for a date with ...01 October 2025

Daniels is expected to log a full practice Wednesday after missing the past two weeks with a knee injury he picked up in Week 2. Barring any practice setbacks, Daniels should be under center for the Commanders in Week 5 against a tough Chargers defense. His return to the lineup will be welcome news for Deebo Samuel and Zach Ertz, who should remain in fantasy lineups in a potential back-and-forth affair.01 October 2025
Spears could return to game action as early as this week against the Cardinals if he’s able to practice in the coming days. His presence in the Titans backfield could be a hit to Tony Pollard’s weekly fantasy prospects. Pollard through four games has accounted for 68 of the Titans’ 73 running backs rushes while catching six of nine targets. It’s hard to get excited about anyone in a dumpster fire of a Tennessee offense, but Spears is a decent pick up in deeper leagues in case Pollard mis ...01 October 2025
