Baker Mayfield ruled out; Jalon Daniels to start again in Week 6

Oct 16, 2026

The Buccaneers will release their final injury report of the week later on Friday afternoon, but immediately following practice Head Coach Todd Bowles revealed that quarterback Baker Mayfield and safety Antoine Winfield Jr. have been ruled out of Sunday's game against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Fantasy Impact:

Daniels’ rushing ability makes him a usable superflex QB2 and an emergency streaming option in one-quarterback leagues. Egbuka remains a WR3/FLEX play, while Godwin is a more volatile PPR FLEX. Otton belongs in the TE2 streaming pool rather than starting lineups by default. Irving remains a viable RB2, but Mayfield’s absence lowers the offense’s passing and scoring ceiling.

Caleb Williams questionable; Kyle Monangai ruled out against Atlanta

Bears

Chicago listed Caleb Williams questionable for Sunday’s game against Atlanta after another full practice Friday. Williams is working back from a hamstring injury and has not been confirmed as the starter. Kyle Monangai was ruled out with thumb and toe injuries.

Related Players: Tyson Bagent, Case Keenum, D’Andre Swift, Roschon Johnson, Luther Burden, Rome Odunze, Kalif Raymond, Zavion Thomas, Colston Loveland, Cole Kmet

Fantasy Impact:

Williams would return to QB1 consideration if cleared, but managers need a backup until Chicago confirms his availability. His return would also improve the outlook for Burden, Odunze, and Loveland. Monangai’s absence strengthens Swift’s RB2 appeal and creates a path to a larger workload. Johnson is a deeper FLEX possibility, with his value depending on how Chicago divides the remaining touches.

Chiefs WR Rashee Rice ruled out against Chargers

Kansas City ruled Rashee Rice out for Sunday’s game against the Chargers with hamstring and knee injuries. Rice did not practice this week.

Fantasy Impact:

Worthy becomes a stronger WR2/WR3 play with Rice’s targets available, while Kelce remains a clear TE1. Royals and Allen enter deeper-league FLEX consideration, but neither is assured a large enough share to become a comfortable starter. Mahomes remains usable, although losing Rice makes Kansas City more dependent on its remaining playmakers.

DeVonta Smith, Dontayvion Wicks and Hollywood Brown cleared for Week 6

Eagles

DeVonta Smith and Dontayvion Wicks practiced fully Friday and carry no injury designation against Carolina.

Fantasy Impact:

Smith offers WR3 value with WR2 upside if he resumes his usual role, although McKee’s first start adds uncertainty. Wicks becomes a more volatile FLEX with Smith and Brown available to compete for targets. Lemon, Cooper and Brown are difficult to trust in standard-sized leagues with the receiving room healthier. Goedert remains a reasonable tight end streaming option.
