All Player News
  • CLE Wide Receiver #2
    Fowler wouldn’t say that Cleveland is shopping the 30-year-old wide receiver, but listed Cooper as an attractive option for teams in need of help at the position. While Davante Adams’ trade demands are well known, Fowler believes Cooper could be a more practical trade candidate due to his low $1.2 million base salary this year. Cooper and the Browns reworked his contract last offseason and he’s set to become an unrestricted free agent after the year. It’s unclear what level of draft pick compensation Cooper might garner via trade.
  • IND Quarterback #5
    Richardson wants to play, but Fowler notes that pain tolerance and functionality are still concerns for the second-year quarterback. Joe Flacco has taken a lot of the reps in practice this week. While Flacco is in position to play, Richardson still hasn’t been ruled out and a has a chance to start.
  • JAX Tight End #17
    Engram was limited in practice throughout the week. He has been sidelined since suffering a hamstring injury during pre-game warmups an hour before Jacksonville’s Week 2 matchup with the Browns. Getting in three limited sessions gives him a good chance of suiting up this week, but fantasy managers will need to check the Jags’ inactives to be sure. If Engram is ruled out before kickoff, Brenton Strange will draw his fourth start of the year.
  • SF Tight End #85
    Kittle returned to practice on Friday but is still a true game-time call for Week 5. Backup tight end Eric Saubert caught two passes for 41 yards when Kittle missed Week 3 because of a hamstring injury. He would be a weak emergency option for fantasy managers if Kittle is ruled out on Sunday. Tucker Kraft and Colby Parkinson, who also play in the second wave of games, are better backup plans at tight end.
  • MIA Running Back #31
    Mostert was upgraded to a full practice on Friday before being removed from the injury report. Head coach Mike McDaniel told reporters he plans to modify how much Mostert plays in his first game back. In other words, he will be on a pitch count this week. With Miami’s offense spiraling sans Tua Tagovailoa, Mostert on a less-than-typical workload will top out at a low-end RB3 ranking for Week 5.
  • IND Quarterback #5
    Richardson was very limited in practice throughout the week but was at least out on the field getting some reps in. Still, Joe Flacco reportedly got the first-team reps on Friday, indicating that head coach Shane Steichen is preparing for him to draw the start. That puts Richardson on the wrong side of questionable heading into the weekend. If Richardson does sit, Josh Downs and Michael Pittman will both get substantial boosts from Flacco’s accuracy on short throws and the decrease in quarterback rush attempts.
  • CAR Wide Receiver #5
    Johnson missed Wednesday’s practice but was back on the field by Thursday. He is good to go for Week 5. Johnson has seen 27 targets over the past two weeks and is coming off another strong showing with Andy Dalton under center. He ranks as a high-end WR2 versus the Bears.
  • HOU Running Back #28
    Mixon returned to practice for a limited session last Friday before being listed as questionable. He did not suit up on Sunday but the return gave fantasy managers hope that he would be ready for Week 5. That was far from the case as Mixon didn’t practice it all this week and was ruled out entirely on the final injury report. His status for Week 6 is up in the air as well. Dameon Pierce is questionable this week, making Dameon Pierce a risky fantasy bet versus the Bills.
  • HOU Wide Receiver #3
    Dell missed Week 4 with the chest injury but was upgraded to a full practice today before being removed from the injury report entirely. He should play without any limitations in a potential shootout with the Bills. Dell was running plenty of routes in the first three weeks but was unable to hit the home run play before going down with the chest issue. He was already a high-risk WR3 before injury and will not fall into the WR4 ranks for his first game back in action.
  • NYJ Quarterback #8
    Rodgers was a DNP on Wednesday but practiced on Thursday and Friday to close out the week. He and the Jets, who are coming off a brutal 10-9 loss to the Broncos, now have a tilt with the Vikings in London. These games have proven difficult for offenses over the years, which could only add to the challenge of facing the Vikings’ fourth-ranked defense (14.8 PPG allowed). Rodgers shouldn’t be viewed as anything more than a mid-QB2 in Week 5.
