DeVante Parker (quad) and Jakeem Grant (shoulder) active Sunday for Dolphins
DeVante Parker (quad) and Jakeem Grant (shoulder) are both active Sunday for Dolphins. While it is good to see them both able to take the field, no Dolphins players are viable fantasy options today with Brock Osweiler under center against the vaunted Bears defense.
Deshaun Watson (chest) active Sunday, as expected
Per the earlier report, Deshaun Watson (chest) is active Sunday, as expected. This is good news for the Texans offense as a whole, who will look to continue to build on their week 5 victory over the Cowboys as they square off with the Bills Sunday.
Chase Edmonds (back) active Sunday
Chase Edmonds (back) is officially active Sunday against the Vikings. Edmonds himself isn’t fantasy-relevant, but his active status does put a cap on David Johnson’s touches, as Edmonds has been seeing a fair amount of work out of the Cardinals backfield in a change-of-pace role. Expect for their workload split to be the same as always for week 6.
Greg Olsen (foot) active Sunday, as expected
Per the earlier report, Greg Olsen (foot) is active Sunday and will start for the Panthers.
Marlon Mack (hamstring) active Sunday
Marlon Mack is officially active Sunday, and will make his return to the Colts lineup coming off of a hamstring injury. His return limits the ceiling of Nyheim Hines, who will have a smaller workload due to Mack’s return. Neither are particularly strong plays this week in a crowded Colts backfield.
Eric Ebron (leg) active Sunday
Eric Ebron is officially active Sunday despite his multitude of leg injuries. Look for Ebron to be heavily targeted once again, as he has been arguably Andrew Luck’s favorite target in the absence of TY Hilton and Jack Doyle.
Chris Thompson (ribs, knee) inactive Sunday, as expected
Per the earlier report, Chris Thompson (ribs, knee) is inactive Sunday, as expected. Look for Adrian Peterson to get the early-down work and Kapri Bibbs to handle the change-of-pace duties. Bibbs is an interesting value option this week with Thompson ruled out and AP active but banged up as well.
O.J. Howard (knee) active for Week 6, as expected
Per the earlier report, O.J. Howard (knee) is active for Week 6, as expected. His activation is a bit of a surprise as he was initially expected to miss 2-4 weeks due to his knee issue, but reports from Tampa Bay all week seemed to indicate that he was nearer a return than originally anticipated. His return takes Cameron Brate off the table as one of the chalky tight end values for the week, as neither of them possess a particularly high target floor.
Paul Richardson (shoulder, knee) active Sunday
Paul Richardson (shoulder, knee) is officially active Sunday for the Redskins. Look for Richardson to pick up a few extra targets in the absence of Jamison Crowder and Chris Thompson.
Jamison Crowder (ankle) inactive Sunday, as expected
Per the earlier report, Jamison Crowder (ankle) is inactive Sunday, as expected. Look for Paul Richardson, Jordan Reed and Josh Doctson to pick up additional targets in his absence.
Dalvin Cook (hamstring) inactive Sunday
In what appears to be the most surprising news of the morning, Dalvin Cook is officially inactive Sunday due to his hamstring injury despite reports all week long that he would be good to suit up. The team apparently didn’t feel that he got in enough reps to trust his health, so he will be inactive once again for week 6. Look for Latavius Murray to lead the Vikings rushing attack, but for most of the Vikings offense to flow through Kirk Cousins and the passing game.
John Ross (groin) inactive Sunday, as expected
Per the earlier report, John Ross (groin) is inactive Sunday, as expected. Look for the majority of the Bengals passing game to flow through AJ Green and Tyler Boyd, with CJ Uzomah picking up some targets as well out of the tight end position.
Chargers K Caleb Sturgis (quad) not expected to play Sunday, Mike Badgley to kick

Ryan Tannehill (shoulder) inactive Sunday, Brock Osweiler will start
Schefter: Tannehill looking unlikely to suit up Sunday vs Bears
Per Adam Schefter, Ryan Tannehill appears unlikely to suit up Sunday vs Bears due to his AC joint sprain in his throwing shoulder. Look for Brock Osweiler to start under center for the Dolphins, making the Bears DST a highly appealing target for week 6.
