Romeo Doubs

GB Wide Receiver #87

Romeo Doubs skipped practice Thursday and Friday over frustration with his role in the offense, according to Bill Huber of SI.com.

Doubs missed practice Thursday and Friday with what the team called personal reasons, but according to sources he’s unhappy with his role in the offense. It’s a surprising development as Doubs leads Packers wide receivers in snaps this year and he’s had 15 targets in the two games with Jordan Love under center. Doubs removing any mention of the Packers from his Instagram account seems to confirm his frustration. With Doubs and Christian Walker (ankle) both listed as doubtful for Week 5 against the Rams, the Packers’ wide receiver group is thinning. Jayden Reed and Dontayvion Wicks are priority starts against Los Angeles on Sunday.
Amari Cooper

CLE Wide Receiver #2

ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler expects teams in need of wide receiver help to call the Browns on Amari Cooper ahead of this year’s trade deadline.

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.
Anthony Richardson

IND Quarterback #5

Anthony Richardson is a game time decision for Week 5 against the Jaguars, according to Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.

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.
Evan Engram

JAX Tight End #17

Evan Engram (hamstring) is questionable for Week 5 against the Colts.

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.
George Kittle

SF Tight End #85

George Kittle (ribs) is questionable for Week 5 against the Cardinals.

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.
Raheem Mostert

MIA Running Back #31

Raheem Mostert (chest) was removed from the injury report and will play in Week 5 against the Patriots.

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.
Anthony Richardson

IND Quarterback #5

Anthony Richardson (oblique) is questionable for Week 5 against the Jaguars.

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.
Diontae Johnson

CAR Wide Receiver #5

Diontae Johnson (ankle) was removed from the injury report and will play in Week 5 against the Bears.

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.
Joe Mixon

HOU Running Back #28

Joe Mixon (ankle) will not play in Week 5 against the Bills.

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.
Tank Dell

HOU Wide Receiver #3

Tank Dell (chest) was removed from the Week 5 injury report and will play against the Bills.

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.
