Bears QB Caleb Williams (hamstring) could return this week

The Cardinals lost their franchise-record ninth straight home game on Sunday, in blowout fashion to the Lions. After landing on the wrong side of a 45-21 final score, first-year coach Mike LaFleur was asked whether he’s considering a quarterback change.

“I’ve got way too many other things, you know, that I need to correct right now,” LaFleur told reporters. “Jacoby Brissett was not the problem. We were a problem as a team today. And, again, that starts with me.”

Things aren't going to get better for the Cards in terms of their schedule. Brissett did struggle in the first half of the game before a pretty nice second half that saved fantasy owners. He finished with 292 yards and three touchdown passes. The run game really struggled as well and the defense gave up 45 points to the Lions. So while the blame isn't only on Brissett, his owners have to be honest with themselves and realize the end of the line could be near. The team doesn't really have a reason to stick with their 34-year-old QB, so a switch to Beck seems like it will happen sooner or later. The one thing Brissett owners may have going for them is the tough schedule, which includes the Rams twice, the Broncos, Seahawks and Chiefs over the several weeks. The Cards may not want to throw Beck in that kind of fire. But can Brissett produce for fantasy owners? The team's bye comes in Week 14 and they close out the season with the Jets, Saints, Raiders and 49ers. Any struggle like Brissett had in the first half against the Lions going forward, could result in him getting pulled.

Ian Rapoport reported there is 'some hope' Lamar Jackson (ankle) plays in Week 6.

Jackson has been rehabbing to get back on the field and Rapoport added Jackson was a lot closer than people realized to playing in Week 5. It's all good news for Jackson and his fantasy owners for a potential return to the field. The Ravens are at the Browns in Week 6 in the early window of games.

Deebo Samuel will get an MRI on his hamstring injury.

Rapoport said the team ruled Samuel out right away, but Rapoport also said Deebo possibly further injured himself fumbling and landing on the ball after injuring his hamstring. However, the main injury is the hamstring, according to Rapoport. Rapoport is speculating it's going to be multiple weeks before Samuel is back. Rapoport specifically mentioned Cooks as a fill-in but Cowing could also get targets as well as Watkins. It's more likely guys like Kittle and McCaffrey get more involved in the passing game as well.
