PHI - RB Jay Ajayi out for the year

Source: ESPN - Adam Schefter

Philadelphia Eagles RB Jay Ajayi (knee) was placed on the Reserve/Injured list Monday, Oct. 8, after suffering a torn anterior cruciate ligament. Free-agent DT T.Y. McGill (Chargers) was claimed in a corresponding move.

[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]

The Eagles are banged up at the running back position already and this injury doesn't help. Without Ajayi, the team has to turn to Wendell Smallwood to lead the way for the time being. Corey Clement is banged up with a quad injury or else he would be in line for a larger role. The Eagles may have to depend on Smallwood in Week 6 as they play against the Giants on Thursday night.


PHI - Le'Veon Bell not trade option for Philly

Pittsburgh Steelers RB Le'Veon Bell has not been a trade target for the Philadelphia Eagles and likely will not be one even after the team created salary cap space, according to sources.

[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]

There were some rumblings about Bell being of interest to the Eagles but apparently that's not the case. Even with Jay Ajayi done the season, the Eagles seem unlikely to pursue a trade for Bell.

Jacksonville Jaguars RB Leonard Fournette (hamstring) will not play in Week 6 against the Dallas Cowboys due to his hamstring injury.

Carolina Panthers TE Greg Olsen (foot) anticipates returning to action in Week 6 but also believes he will require a second surgery for his Jones fracture, according to Joe Person of The Athletic.

[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]

Olsen's foot injury has been problematic over the last two seasons. He could return but obviously won't be 100 percent healthy. Fantasy GMs should temper their expectations upon Olsen's return.

San Francisco 49ers WR Dante Pettis (knee) will not be able to play in the Week 6 game.

Updating a previous report, Cleveland Browns WR Rashard Higgins (knee) is expected to be sidelined for two to four weeks because of his sprained medial collateral ligament.

[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]

Higgins had three catches for 66 yards and one touchdown in the win against the Ravens on Sunday. The Browns will likely look for wide receiver help with Higgins out a couple of weeks. This injury could also mean a larger role for rookie Antonio Callaway.

New York Giants TE Evan Engram (knee) was limited in practice Monday, Oct. 8.

Engram should be returning soon...but he may not quite be ready for Week 7. The Giants play the Eagles on Thursday night this week and Rhett Ellison would continue as the lead tight end for the Giants if Engram isn't quite yet healthy enough to play.

Free-agent QB Derek Anderson (Panthers) is meeting with the Buffalo Bills Monday, Oct. 8, but head coach Sean McDermott said no deal is final at this time.

McDermott was with the Panthers when Anderson was there as a backup to Cam Newton. They've been kicking the tires on a couple of available quarterbacks (Paxton Lynch, etc) but have not yet signed someone off the street.

Free-agent WR Kendall Wright (Vikings) signed a one-year deal with the Arizona Cardinals Monday, Oct. 8. Financial terms were not disclosed. The team also released CB Deatrick Nichols.

[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]

Wright has value as a slot receiver but he failed to make the Vikings 53-man roster earlier this year and was let go before the start of the regular season. The only way Wright could have much of an impact is if Larry Fitzgerald were to miss time with his lingering hamstring injury.

San Francisco 49ers RB Matt Breida's (ankle) MRI on his injured ankle came back negative, according to a source. He is dealing with what has been called a mid-ankle sprain.

[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]

It's good news but Breida isn't in the clear for Week 6. We should see Alfred Morris get the start for the 49ers this week but stay tuned to the practice report on Friday. Breida has playmaking ability but he's also been banged up quite a bit already this season.

Atlanta Falcons QB Matt Ryan (foot) underwent an X-ray on his foot following Week 5's loss, but head coach Dan Quinn said Ryan will play in Week 6.

[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]

Ryan had a poor performance against the Steelers in Week 5. We're expecting him to perhaps be limited during the week of practice leading up to their Week 6 contest against the Buccaneers. Ryan should be a great start for Fantasy GMs against the Bucs as they rank 32nd in the league by surrendering an average of 358.0 passing yards per game.

Miami Dolphins WR DeVante Parker is reportedly available in a trade, according to Michael Lombardi of The Athletic.

[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]

The Dolphins shouldn't expect much for Parker if anyone even makes an offer for the veteran wide receiver. He struggles with nagging injuries and has underperformed during his career. Parker also had his fifth-year option picked up for 2019 and is set to earn $9.3 million next season.

Jacksonville Jaguars RB Corey Grant (foot) was placed on the Reserve/Injured list Monday, Oct. 8.

[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]

Grant is hitting free agency in 2019 and should be healthy by that time. The Jaguars will turn to Brandon Wilds as the primary backup to T.J. Yeldon while their usual starter Leonard Fournette continues to miss time with a hamstring injury.

Jacksonville Jaguars TE Austin Seferian-Jenkins (core) was placed on the Reserve/Injured list Monday, Oct. 8.

Buffalo Bills RB LeSean McCoy interests the Philadelphia Eagles, who have reached out to Buffalo to feel out a possible trade, a source said Tuesday, Oct. 9.

[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]

McCoy is under contract through the 2019 season and going back to Philly would be a boost for his fantasy value. The Eagles lost Jay Ajayi for the year with a knee injury and McCoy would provide an upgrade over guys like Corey Clement and Wendell Smallwood.

Philadelphia Eagles RB Corey Clement (quadriceps) was a full practice participant Tuesday, Oct. 9.

[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]

It's a boost for the Eagles offense to get Clement back out there. He is going to compete with Wendell Smallwood to be the lead back for the Eagles now that Jay Ajayi (knee) is done for the year.

Free-agent RB Jamaal Charles (Broncos) is signing an undisclosed deal with the Jacksonville Jaguars Tuesday, Oct. 9, according to a source.

[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]

Charles didn't look like himself last year with the Broncos. He may not be the player he used to be, but Charles still has some speed and instinct for running the ball. We should see him as the backup to T.J. Yeldon going forward while Leonard Fournette (hamstring) is still on the mend.

Free-agent RBs Shane Vereen (Saints), Charcandrick West (Chiefs), Andre Ellington and Matt Dayes (Browns) worked out for the San Francisco 49ers Tuesday, Oct. 9.

[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]

The 49ers are clearly looking for running back help. Matt Breida is going to miss Week 6 against the Packers, so the team should turn to Alfred Morris as the starter. We should see fullback Kyle Juszczyk get involved as a receiver out of the backfield.

Cincinnati Bengals RB Thomas Rawls was waived Tuesday, Oct. 9.

[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]

The Bengals just picked up Rawls a few weeks ago. Even with Gio Bernard banged up, the team can lean on Joe Mixon as the starter and rookie Mark Walton as his primary backup. Rawls has been with two teams since training camp and may not have that many teams interested in his services now that he's back on the open market.

Minnesota Vikings WR Adam Thielen is the first player since the 1970 AFL-NFL merger to begin a season with five games of 100 or more receiving yards.

[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]

Thielen is averaging a whopping 117.8 receiving yards per game in 2018. He was a breakout player in 2017 with QB Case Keenum and he's certainly become the favorite target for QB Kirk Cousins this season. Fantasy GMs know he's a must-start WR1 every week regardless of the matchup.

Philadelphia Eagles RB Darren Sproles (hamstring) remained out of practice Tuesday, Oct. 9.

[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]

The Eagles have a short week as they play on Thursday night against the Giants. They may not have Sproles back in action by that time. At least it looks like Corey Clement is returning from injury this week.

Free-agent QB Derek Anderson (Panthers) signed an undisclosed deal with the Buffalo Bills on Tuesday, Oct. 10.

***T.Y. Hilton had no chance of recovering in time for a Thursday night game. It's not yet known whether his hamstring strain is more than a low grade injury, but Frank Reich told reporters on Friday the team hadn't yet determined whether Hilton was day-to-day or week-to-week. That's likely not a optimistic sign. Teams usually go out of their way to list their players as day-to-day -- even when they know they aren't. Hopefully, Hilton is practicing on Wednesday and plays this week but prepare for another week on the sideline.

Source: The Seattle Times - Bob Condotta

Seattle Seahawks WR Doug Baldwin was only targeted once in Week 5 against the Los Angeles Rams and has only six receptions on nine targets for 42 yards through what amounts to be 2 1/2 games this season. Baldwin told reporters 'I feel good,' when asked Tuesday, Oct. 9, if his knees were to blame for the slow start.'There's a mixture obviously of being upset about the loss but then also only being targeted one time in the game. As a receiver, I'm not worth my salt if I wouldn't have a problem with that. I think every receiver across the league if they're being honest and truthful with you would say they're not OK with getting one target. But obviously, the course of the game, it was a shootout, we had to do what we had to do. There were a couple of times when I was getting double covered, so that opened things up for David Moore and for Tyler Lockett. So you (have to) do what's best for the offense and for the team. ... It happens like that sometimes. It's part of football,' Baldwin told Bob Condotta of the Seattle Times.

Miller should play this week for the Texans after being active only as an emergency option last week. His snap count is a bit of an unknown so we're looking at him as a flex play for Fantasy GMs in Week 6.

Houston Texans WR Will Fuller (hamstring) was limited during practice Thursday, Oct. 11.

Fuller's hamstring really bothered him last week. He didn't look like himself against the Cowboys and was only targeted three times, catching two passes for 15 yards. Fuller should play against the Bills but he's a risky WR3/flex option due to this nagging injury.

Houston Texans QB Deshaun Watson (chest) was limited during practice Thursday, Oct. 11.

Indianapolis Colts RB Marlon Mack (hamstring) fully participated in practice Thursday, Oct. 11.

Indianapolis Colts TE Eric Ebron (ankle, knee, quadriceps, shin) did not participate in practice Thursday, Oct. 11.

Erik Swoope is already the #2 tight end with Jack Doyle out. If Ebron is limited or out on Sunday, Swoope's basketball ball skills and top-end athleticism could be married to a high volume role at tight end, the toughest position to find points at in fantasy leagues this year.

San Francisco 49ers WR Marquise Goodwin (hamstring, thigh) was a full practice participant Thursday, Oct. 11.

Olsen should be back this week and should be in your lineup unless you have an obviously better option at the thin tight end position.

The Patriots will likely rely on Michel to create long drives and keep Patrick Mahomes on the sidelines Sunday night. The late start makes this more complicated for lineup setting, but as long as the Patriots don't make another roster move at running back, you can probably count on Michel in Week 6.

New York Jets RB Isaiah Crowell (ankle) was not practicing for a second straight day Thursday, Oct. 11.

Carolina Panthers TE Greg Olsen (foot) has been listed as questionable for Week 6 versus the Washington Redskins, although head coach Ron Rivera told reporters Friday, Oct. 12, that he likes Olsen's chances to play.

[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]

If Olsen plays he's worth a start because of the weak competition at the tight end position, but it's certainly possible that he doesn't look like himself, or gets fewer targets than usual in his first week back. The Panthers offense has four viable wide receiver targets and Christian McCaffery.

New England Patriots WR Chris Hogan (thigh) is expected to be cleared to play in the Week 6 game, according to a source.

Los Angeles Rams WR Cooper Kupp (concussion) was able to take part in a full practice session Friday, Oct. 12, and he is expected to be ready for Week 6 against the Denver Broncos, head coach Sean McVay said.

Cooks is safe to play. There shouldn't be much wind and the worst of the snow should be over by game time. We'll see if Jared Goff can be as effective in cold weather, although the Denver pass defense has been torched repeatedly and shouldn't put up much resistance.

Olsen's foot injury is going to require surgery after the season but he's back now and ready as he'll ever be this season. The tight end position is brutal this year for Fantasy GMs, but a clearly less-than-100-percent Olsen is a TE2 in Week 6.

It looks like Goodwin is going to be back in action for the 49ers on Monday night. Fantasy GMs have better options out there. Goodwin has been limited by these injuries even when he does suit up. We can't trust him as anything more than a 'what the heck' flex in Week 6.

The 49ers have two running backs on their practice squad currently, Matt Dayes and Jeff Wilson. If Breida can't play then the 49ers turn to Alfred Morris as their starter. If that's the case, Morris is a RB2 or flex option for Fantasy GMs in Week 6.

Cohen was explosive as a receiver and effective in limited opportunity as a runner. He'll be a solid RB2 until he lets us down. Expect another good game against the slow Patriots defense next week.

Cincinnati Bengals TE C.J. Uzomah posted six receptions for 54 yards on seven targets in Week 6 against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Uzomah came through in a ready-made matchup for streamers. He'll be back in our lineups against the Chiefs next week.


CIN - WR Tyler Boyd scores pair of TDs

Cincinnati Bengals WR Tyler Boyd racked up seven grabs for 62 yards and two touchdowns on nine targets in Week 6 against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Boyd was on fire going into Week 5, but slowed down against the Dolphins. The Steelers defense lost him twice in the red zone to account for his third big game in six weeks. He'll be a must play against the Chiefs next week.


MIN - WR Adam Thielen continues outstanding play

Minnesota Vikings WR Adam Thielen caught 11 passes for 123 yards and one touchdown against the Arizona Cardinals in Week 6.

[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]

Starting a season with six straight 100-yard games is like Halley's Comet. Obviously Thielen and Kirk Cousins have a special connection and they will face a banged up Jets secondary.


MIN - RB Latavius Murray has monster game

Minnesota Vikings RB Latavius Murray rushed for 155 yards and one touchdown on 24 carries against the Arizona Cardinals in Week 6.

[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]

The Cardinals run defense is eminently beatable no matter what the opposing running games were doing going into the matchup. Next week Phillip Lindsay and Royce Freeman will get to run against them. If Dalvin Cook isn't ready, Murray could be a solid RB2 play against the Jets.


CLE - WR Jarvis Landry held to 11 yards

Cleveland Browns WR Jarvis Landry caught two passes for 11 yards against the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 6.

[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]

Landry has been a huge disappointment since Baker Mayfield took over. He has a great matchup against the Bucs next week and many more good ones after that. He's still worth a WR3/Flex start next week.


CLE - TE David Njoku catches seven passes

Cleveland Browns TE David Njoku caught seven passes for 55 yards and one touchdown against the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 6.

[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]

Njoku does a great job owning the area around him in the air and should remain an every week TE1 start. He has the Bucs matchup that Austin Hooper lit up today next week.


PIT - WR JuJu Smith-Schuster targeted 10 times

Pittsburgh Steelers WR JuJu Smith-Schuster pulled down seven receptions for a game-high 111 yards on 10 targets in Week 6 against the Cincinnati Bengals.

[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]

Smith-Schuster had a must be seen to be believed reception over a Bengals defender at the one yard line. He's a strong WR2 going into his bye.


PIT - RB James Conner minces up Cincinnati D

Pittsburgh Steelers RB James Conner rushed 19 times for 111 yards and a pair of touchdowns in the Week 6 win against the Cincinnati Bengals and he added four receptions for 18 yards on seven targets.

[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]

Conner might end up as a committee back if LeVeon Bell returns this week, but he shouldn't become a backup. He might have more value than we think after the bye and shouldn't be traded pennies on the RB1 dollar he has established.


CLE - QB Baker Mayfield throws two INTs

Cleveland Browns QB Baker Mayfield went 22-for-46 for 238 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions against the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 6.

[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]

Mayfield was let down by Antonio Callaway on possible touchdowns twice, and he's entering a very easy stretch of pass defenses starting with Tampa Bay next week, so he's still a viable streamer.


LAC - WR Tyrell Williams accounts for two TDs

Los Angeles Chargers WR Tyrell Williams caught three passes for 118 yards and two touchdowns against the Cleveland Browns in Week 6.

[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]

Williams came down with one score in triple coverage and left a mark on the Browns defense in this one. With this kind of ceiling and the deep passing game getting into focus, Williams will be worth a what the heck flex start against Tennessee.


WAS - RB Adrian Peterson just misses 100 yards

Washington Redskins RB Adrian Peterson (ankle, knee, shoulder) not only played in Week 6 against the Carolina Panthers, but he played well with 97 rushing yards on 17 carries.

[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]

Peterson gave Washington everything he had despite his multiple injuries. He's still worth an RB2 start against Dallas, especially with Chris Thompson banged up.


CAR - RB Christian McCaffrey goes nowhere on ground

Carolina Panthers RB Christian McCaffrey rushed eight times for 20 yards in Week 6 against the Washington Redskins while adding seven grabs for 46 yards on eight targets.

[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]

McCaffrey salvaged a contribution in PPR leagues with his receptions as the Panthers were on the comeback trail, but still had to deal with a deeper group of targets splitting up the passing pie. He'll be more of an RB2 than RB1 against the Eagles next week.
