Larry Fitzgerald (back, hamstring) will play Sunday
Larry Fitzgerald will play Sunday despite his back and hamstring injuries. This is in line with what was expected all week, with Fitzgerald able to log multiple limited practices. The greater fear for Fitzgerald is simply that he isn’t at 100%, and hasn’t made a huge impact on the offense with Josh Rosen under center. Look for him to attempt to get back on track this weekend against the Vikings.
Deandre Hopkins, Will Fuller, Lamar Miller and Keke Coutee all will play Sunday for Texans
Deandre Hopkins, Will Fuller, Lamar Miller and Keke Coutee all will play Sunday for Texans. None of these players were in serious doubt as to their availability for Sunday, but this confirms the majority of the Texans offensive weapons will be good to go. Deshaun Watson is the final piece of the offense that needs to be confirmed as active, but he remains questionable for the time being with a chest injury.
Other tagged players: Will Fuller, Lamar Miller, Keke Coutee Josh Gordon is
Josh Gordon is officially questionable for Sunday’s matchup with the Chiefs due to his lingering hamstring injury. There is nothing to suggest he is in danger of missing the contest, and will look to continue to build upon his solid performance week 5 and establish himself as a key weapon in this Patriots passing attack.
Rob Gronkowski (ankle) questionable for Sunday night
Rob Gronkowski is officially questionable for Sunday night’s game against the Chiefs due to an ankle injury. There is nothing to suggest Gronkowski is in danger of missing the contest, and is likely in line for his usual workload in the Patriots passing attack.
Sony Michel (knee) questionable for Sunday
Sony Michel is officially questionable for Sunday’s matchup against the Chiefs due to a knee injury. There is nothing to suggest he is in serious danger of missing the contest, and will likely be the early-down back for the Patriots, with James White picking up the passing-down work.
Greg Zuerlein (groin) out Sunday
Greg Zuerlein will be out another week Sunday due to his groin injury. Cairo Santos will kick for the Rams week 6.
Brandin Cooks and Cooper Kupp not on final injury report, will play Sunday
Updating a previous report, Brandin Cooks and Cooper Kupp are not on final injury report and will play Sunday against the Broncos. It appears the Rams passing attack will be full strength, which is good news for Jared Goff and the offense as a whole. Look for Cooks and Kupp along with Robert Woods to be the primary passing options, with Todd Gurley handling his usual workload out of the backfield.
Other tagged players: Cooper Kupp Eric Ebron practiced in full Friday, questionable for Sunday
Eric Ebron appears to be on the mend from his assortment of leg injuries as he was able to practice in full Friday, though he still remains questionable for Sunday. His full practice definitely bodes well as to his ability to take the field Sunday against the Jets, and assuming he is a full go he should be once again heavily targeted by Andrew Luck in the absence of T.Y. Hilton and Jack Doyle.
DeVante Parker (quad) questionable for Sunday
DeVante Parker is questionable for Sunday due to his lingering quad injury. Parker was able to practice in a limited fashion all week, and appears on track to suit up week 6. That said, keep an eye on Sunday morning alerts to ensure he will in fact be able to take the field for the Dolphins.
Ryan Tannehill (shoulder) questionable for Sunday
Ryan Tannehill popped up on the injury report Friday, listed as questionable for Sunday due to a shoulder injury. While it doesn’t appear Tannehill is likely to miss Sunday’s game, if he were unable to go it would obviously be a downgrade to the Dolphins passing attack as a whole as backup QB Brock Osweiler would be under center. Keep an eye on news out of Dolphins camp to ensure Tannehill didn’t suffer a serious setback Friday that has his status Sunday in legitimate doubt.
Update: Dalvin Cook (hamstring) questionable for Sunday
Updating a previous report, Dalvin Cook is officially listed as questionable for Sunday’s contest with the Cardinals. Cook was earlier listed as active, but has since been tagged as questionable. That said, the combination of his practice involvement throughout the week and that initial earlier report both seem to suggest barring any pregame setbacks, Cook should be good to go Sunday.
Browns WR Derrick Willies (collarbone) out Sunday
Browns WR Derrick Willies is out Sunday due to a collarbone injury. This is significant because in the absence of fellow WR Rashard Higgins, it was expected that Willies would be the WR3 for the Browns passing attack. Instead, it appears Rod Streater will fill that role, with Jarvis Landry, Antonio Callaway and David Njoku seeing the bulk of the passing targets for the Browns.
Rams expect Brandin Cooks (concussion) and Cooper Kupp (concussion) to be cleared Saturday
Rams expect Brandin Cooks (concussion) and Cooper Kupp (concussion) to be cleared Saturday from concussion protocol.
Other tagged players: Cooper Kupp TE O.J. Howard (knee) questionable for Sunday
Howard practiced again today and appears truly questionable for Sunday after being only 2 weeks removed from an MCL sprain. Just about every Bucs’ offensive skill player will have a mouthwatering matchup in a game that features the two worst defenses in the league by DVOA. Fellow tight end Cameron Brate could see almost all the tight end reps in this projected shootout and become a popular value target across sites depending on how the Sunday morning news shakes out regarding Howard.

WR Jamison Crowder (ankle), RB Chris Thompson (rib), RB Adrian Peterson (shoulder/ankle) and WR Paul Richardson (shoulder/knee) all questionable Week 6
All are tentatively expected to play on Sunday against the Panthers except for Crowder who appears truly questionable after not practicing all week. Both receivers make for less than mediocre plays at their prices this week given their low target totals to date and QB Alex Smith’s tendency to look for his running backs and tight ends more in passing situations. At less than 100%, Thompson and Peterson face a tough matchup against a strong Panthers run defense. With a bevy of running back value at similar price points this week, it will hard to justify rostering either back.
