Arizona Cardinals RB David Johnson (back) will be monitored throughout the week, according to head coach Kliff Kingsbury, who added 'there's always a chance' Johnson won't be available in Week 6 against the Atlanta Falcons due to his back.

Keep an eye on this situation as the week of practice goes on. Johnson's back reportedly locked up on him versus the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 5. All Fantasy GMs need to add Chase Edmonds as a handcuff to Johnson or as a player to plug in as a RB2 or flex option if Johnson has to miss some time.

New Orleans Saints QB Drew Brees (thumb) wants to return prior to the team's Week 9 bye, according to Yahoo! Sports' Charles Robinson, who writes that Brees has been 'living in the training room' in hopes of an early return. The team, however, appears to be targeting Week 10 for Brees' return.

Brees is going to push to get back ASAP but the Saints are winning with Teddy Bridgewater and there's no need to rush Brees back. He's trending in the right direction and we'll see Brees soon.

Fitzpatrick almost did enough to come back and win and ruin the #1 draft pick for the Dolphins. If the Week 7 starter is based on performance, Fitzpatrick should be in against his old Buffalo team.

Washington Redskins WR Terry McLaurin registered four receptions for 100 yards and two touchdowns in Week 6 against the Miami Dolphins.

Case Keenum's return and Xavien Howard being inactive combined to create a big day for McLaurin. Washington has a tough matchup against the 49ers next week, but McLaurin should be a WR3/Flex consideration as long as Keenum is starting.

The Chiefs run defense is the achilles heel and for the third straight week a workhorse back wore them down in the second half. Hyde will face the Colts next week coming off of his best game of the year and Phillip Lindsay and Royce Freeman will run at a weary Chiefs defense on Thursday.

Baltimore Ravens TE Mark Andrews registered six receptions for 99 yards on eight targets in Week 6 against the Cincinnati Bengals. No other Baltimore receiver had more than three receptions.

Andrews was the main man in the pass offense with Marquise Brown sidelined. He'll be a very strong play against the Seahawks next week.

Baltimore Ravens QB Lamar Jackson completed 21-of-33 passes for 236 yards, no touchdowns and no interceptions in Week 6 against the Cincinnati Bengals, but he had 19 runs for 152 yards and a score. He became the first player in the Super Bowl era to throw for 200 yards and run for 150 yards in the same game.

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

Jackson was unstoppable as a runner and looks more aggressive than ever in that aspect of his game. His floor and ceiling are as high as any fantasy quarterback because of it. He might be the most valuable fantasy quarterback heading into a matchup at Seattle.

Denver Broncos WR Emmanuel Sanders (knee) suffered a knee injury during the Week 6 game and will not return.

Courtland Sutton is the clear #1 receiver now. Sanders is unlikely to be ready for the Thursday night game against the Chiefs. Rookie Juwann Winfree should be active for the game in his stead.

Tate was making catches in tight coverage and has proven that he belongs on an NFL field. He'll still be a starter when AJ Green returns and projects as a long term starter if the team lets Green walk in free agency this offseason.

Beckham had a few splash plays and reminded us how high his skill level is, but he wasn't able to break through enough to get the Browns over the hump for the win. He's a boom/bust WR1 heading into his bye.

Philadelphia Eagles TE Dallas Goedert caught five passes for 48 yards against the Minnesota Vikings in Week 6. He was targeted eight times during the game.

Goedert is at least in the desperation play zone now with a high target volume in a play from behind game script. He mostly remains on our radar because of his Zach Ertz injury upside.

Wentz did the best he could in a game that forced the Eagles to abandon the run. He needs Desean Jackson to flourish against good defenses. The Cowboys defense has been inconsistent and they are up next week. Jackson could return next week.

The Saints defense is for real and it doesn't have any obvious weakness. Minshew was under pressure and the secondary didn't give him anything that was too easy. He'll have a much better matchup and be back in streamer consideration against Cincinnati next week.

This game should be his high water mark on the year. We'll continue to start any running back against Miami, with Devin Singletary getting healthy just in time for the matchup next week, while Peterson gets the stout 49ers run defense.

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

Kamara was contained by a high effort Jaguars defense, but his PPR result was still acceptable, albeit a floor game. Next week against the Bears should also be a long afternoon and Latavius Murray looked good. Kamara came in questionable with an ankle injury, so perhaps the team should go to a more even split over the next two weeks before the bye.

Bridgewater was safe with his decisions and made an excellent throw above the rim to Cook to account for the game's only touchdown. He has been better than the Saints could have hoped in relief of Drew Brees and will start again next week in a tough matchup at Chicago.

Washington Redskins RB Chris Thompson (foot) suffered a foot injury during the Week 6 game and is considered questionable to return.

Thompson wasn't his normal reliable PPR play because of the injury and the team being able to establish the run while playing with a lead. Once Thompson gets hurt, he's generally not trustworthy. He can be dropped in short bench leagues.

The billionaire owner wanted the tax payers to pay for his new stadium and the vote didn't pass, then they bailed. They wanted to go to LA for a longtime as it immediately increased the value of the franchise going to a bigger media market. They are getting exactly what they deserve but i do feel bad for the players, it was not their choice.

Pats suspend Michael Bennett for conduct detrimental

The New England Patriots will be without veteran defensive lineman Michael Bennett for their Monday night game against the New York Jets.
The Patriots have suspended Bennett for one week for conduct detrimental to the team, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport and Mike Giardi report.
He was not at practice Tuesday, per Rapoport and Giardi.
Bennett issued the following statement to ESPN's Jordan Schultz regarding the one-week ban:
"On Friday, I had a philosophical disagreement with my position coach that has led to my suspension. I apologize to my teammates for any distraction this may have caused."
He played 11 snaps in last week's win over the Giants, and just 14 during Week 5 versus the Redskins.
Over six games in New England, Bennett's made one start and has 2.5 sacks.

It never made an ounce of sense for the Chargers to go to LA(other than the team value increasing). The Raiders were in LA all those years and are in the same division. Naturally, LA has a lot of Raiders fans who happen to hate the Chargers. There's also a regional beef between SD/LA. Fact is, LA never wanted the Chargers and now most of the SD fans are alienated so now noone wants them. The owners royally fukked themselves and I'm enjoying it in some ways they were always some of the worst owners in all of sports. I still am attached and root for the players but the owners can burn in hell and i'll never spend a penny on any tickets, gear etc.

How the NFL allowed the move to happen given all the history is beyond me. Now the Chargers also have a massive competitive disadvantage with no home field advantage. In fact, many times the opposing fans outnumber the "home" fans so home games can actually be away games.
