Engram was limited in practice throughout the week. He is still working his way back from the hamstring injury he suffered in pre-game warmups before Week 2. Doug Pederson said earlier in the week that the chances of Engram returning on Sunday were “pretty good.” That puts him on the right side of questionable, though he does appear to be a true game-time call. Brenton Strange would get the start if he is ruled out ahead of kickoff. Strange has 12 grabs for 120 yards and a score over the past four weeks.

Ekeler popped up on the injury report with the heel issue to open the week but was a full participant in Thursday and Friday’s practices. Elsewhere in the Washington backfield, Brian Robinson is a true game-time call as he works his way through a knee injury. Ekeler’s role would grow if he is ruled out, but Jeremy McNichols would also be more involved. Even with Robinson out, Ekelerr would top out at a high-end RB3 ranking.

Brown missed Week 5 with the groin injury but is good to go for a potential shootout with Baltimore. He has appeared in three games this year and has three receptions in each contest. He will be a desperation WR6 for fantasy managers truly in a bind at receiver this week.

Kamara leads the NFL with 114 touches through five weeks and he is a safe bet to retain the top spot with Derek Carr (oblique) sidelined. Kamara is a high-end RB1 in this divisional affair, with no signs of slowing down despite playing through injuries.

It appears the Saints were playing things conservatively with Shaheed, who practiced in a limited capacity on Thursday and Friday. Shaheed has proven himself as a talent-based, weekly WR3, though his outlook is more volatile than normal with Derek Carr (oblique) sidelined.

Brown practiced in full throughout the week. He told reporters earlier today that he feels back to 100 percent healthy coming off Philly’s bye week. Brown went for 119 yards and a touchdown in his Week 1 opener versus the Packers and has been out ever since. He immediately steps into the WR1 ranks for his upcoming matchup with the Browns.

The volatile tight end has a chance to produce a top-12 finish, facing a Raiders defense allowing the fourth-most yards per coverage snap (8.79) to opposing tight ends. He is a viable TE1 streaming option.

Adams has struggled with a slew of injuries for years, last playing a full season in 2018. He has only appeared in 12 games since the start of the 2022 season. Adams has four tackles across three games this year, only one of which was a start.

Paye has been out since Week 4 because of the quad issue. He totaled 1.5 sacks over the first three weeks of the season. Defensive back Kenny Moore is listed as questionable. he practiced in full on Friday, putting him on the right side of his questionable tag for Week 6.

Wilson will serve as Justin Fields’ primary backup this week. He can be speculatively stashed on benches for QB-needy teams, though this is currently Fields’ job to lose.

Warren graduated to Full Participant status on Friday after being limited through the week’s first two practices. The Steelers have played his rehabilitation conservatively thus far so it would not be surprising to see him inactive on game day. He is a volatile flex player if active.
