Falcons head coach Raheem Morris on wide receiver Darnell Mooney: "Right now, Mooney is still day-to-day. We'll see what that is. He'll be out today. We'll get a good feel for what it looks like moving forward."

Related Players: Drake London, Kyle Pitts, Ray-Ray McCloud

Looks like Mooney will likely be out Week 6, which leaves London/Pitts and Bijan Robinson at the top of the food chain. While the other two are obvious starts, this solidifies Pitts in fringe TE1/2 range.

Ravens QB Lamar Jackson (hamstring) remains out of practice.

Lt Ronnie Stanley (ankle) and S Kyle Hamilton (groin) were practicing.

New safeties Alohi Gilman (No.12) and C.J. Gardner Johnson (No.6) are practicing as well.

Related Players: Cooper Rush

Looks like another Cooper Rush week, which is not great news for the Ravens offense. It looks like Ronnie Stanley is set to return but anyone outside of Zay Flowers and/or Derrick Henry in your starting lineup would be a tough sell with Jackson out.

RB Tyrone Tracy, who hasn't played since Sept. 21 because of a shoulder injury, is off the report and good to go.

Related Players: Cam Skattebo, Devin Singletary

Skattebo has done plenty to secure his position as the "1A" in New York, but on an offense that isn't projected to score many points, that's far less valuable with Tracy in the mix. Consider Skattebo more of an RB3, while Tracy has similar upside, with a boost in PPR leagues.

Bengals HC Zac Taylor said Joe Flacco will start Sunday at Green Bay.

Related Players: Jake Browning

Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins managers rejoice. Flacco as a QB streaming option is probably a little too thin, but the targets should be there for the WR tandem, putting them in respective WR1 and WR3 consideration.

The Giants have ruled out there players for TNF against the #Eagles: LB Swayze Bozeman (ankle), LB Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles (hamstring), and WR Darius Slayton (hamstring).

Related Players: Wan'Dale Robinson, Theo Johnson, Jalin Hyatt

An already-thin pass-catching group gets even thinner in a tough divisional matchup. Jaxson Dart has used his legs effectively through his first two starts, but his ceiling is dangerously low for managers anticipating streaming him.

Robinson, likewise, is a low-ceiling WR3 play, while Johnson can be streamed as a top-15 option at tight end.

Cardinals QB Kyler Murray, dealing with a foot injury, is not expected to practice today. An injury to watch...

Related Players: Jacoby Brissett

Murray was off the field on more than one occasion in Week 5, so this is obviously a bad sign for his Week 6 availability. We'll keep an eye on things, but Brissett would be off streaming radars against the Colts if he does end up getting a spot start.

Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton (hamstring) is not expected to play Thursday vs. Eagles, per sources.

Hamstring on a short week is tough. Will be out barring surprising uptick.

Eagles running back Saquon Barkley (knee) returned to limited participation in the team’s walkthrough.

The Eagles estimated Barkley as a non-participant on Monday, and a report later clarified that it was “general soreness” that the All-Pro was experiencing.

Barkley is expected to be fine for Thursday Night Football.

Jalen Hurts and Saquon Barkley confirmed they held a players-only meeting, along with A.J. Brown, on Monday, but the quarterback and running back downplayed it as “just teammates being teammates.”

“Yeah, that’s just us talking about the collective, talking about taking ownership for what we can, talking about how we move forward as a team so we can continue to find ways to win games,” Hurts said, via video from Eliot Shorr-Parks of 94WIP.

Jimmy Kempski of The Philly Voice reported that Hurts, Brown and Barkley met among themselves for two hours to discuss offensive frustrations after the 21-17 loss to the Broncos.

Brown has only 19 catches for 194 yards and a touchdown, and Barkley got only six carries, which he took for 30 yards, against the Broncos. Barkley has 83 carries for 267 yards and three touchdowns for the season, the story pointed out. It also added, per Kempski, the talks were "positive." The Eagles travel to the Giants on Thursday night so we may quickly know how well - or not - things actually went.

In Week 3, quarterback Joe Flacco led the Browns to an upset win over the Packers. On Sunday, Flacco could get a chance to do it again, as the quarterback of the other NFL franchise in Ohio.

Via Adam Schefter of ESPN.com, the Bengals “would like” Flacco to be ready to go for the Week 5 game at Lambeau Field.

It will require plenty of extra work to get Flacco up to speed, as to the terminology, plays, and concepts of the Cincinnati offense. And he has no experience with the team’s starting receivers, Chase and Higgins, the story pointed out. However, as the story also mentioned, Chase and Higgins will be the best two receivers he has had during an 18-year career with the Ravens, Broncos, Jets, Browns (twice), and Colts.
