Dwayne Haskins Not a Candidate to Start this Week
The Redskins replaced head coach Jay Gruden with Bill Callahan, opening the door for changes to their starters. The QB race will come down to McCoy vs Keenum, as Haskins has been ruled out at least for this week.
Other tagged players: Colt McCoy, Case Keenum
Marquise Brown (Ankle) Expected to be Fine
Brown missed part of Week 5 with an ankle injury but the injury isn’t expected to be serious. His practice status this week will be worth monitoring, but expect him to play next week.
As reported by: Jamison Hensley Chris Herndon Returning From Suspension
Chris Herndon will return from his four game suspension Week 6 when the Jets get back from their bye week. The Jets have not used their TE’s heavily so far this season, with Ryan Griffin leading their TE’s with just 7 targets.

Sproles has been used sporadically on offense this year, with just 6 carries and 5 targets over the last 4 weeks, turning that into 17 total yards of offense. He also returned punts last week, and his absence would give Corey Clement a chance to get more snaps.

The Redskins fired coach Jay Gruden after an 0-5 start to the season in which they have a -78 point differential, second worst in the NFL. Gruden reportedly did not want to draft Dwayne Haskins and decided to start Colt McCoy Week 5 over Haskins. The new coach might be another chance for Haskins to start, as well as a chance for the running game to get more use.

As reported by: Matthew Berry Other tagged players: Mecole Hardman, Demarcus Robinson, Travis Kelce, Patrick Mahomes Colts WR Parris Campbell Inactive Tonight Against Chiefs
As expected, Campbell is sidelined for tonight’s game. Look for Deon Cain, Chester Rogers, and Zach Pascal to see increased opportunity against the Chiefs.

As reported by: Joel A. Erickson Other tagged players: Deon Cain, Chester Rogers, Zach Pascal, Jacoby Brissett Colts RB Marlon Mack (Ankle) Will be Active Tonight Vs. Chiefs
Mack will play tonight in Kansas City on Sunday Night Football. This makes Jordan Wilkins unplayable and should lower the ownership on Nyheim Hines for Showdown contests. Mack has had an excellent start to 2019, but doesn’t see a lot of passing work. Since the Colts are such big underdogs, Mack is a solid play if you think the Colts can keep the game close this evening.

As expected, Gallup will return from injury today against the Packers.
