Lions hopeful QB Matt Stafford will start Week 6

The Lions are optimistic that QB Matthew Stafford will be able to start vs. Saints, despite injuries to his quad and ankle, I’m told.

Fantasy Impact: 

We had a story earlier today that Stafford was banged up in Week 5 and spent some time in the trainers room following the game. This is the first we've seen specifics for his injuries, however. Be sure to monitor his practice time this week. Stafford plays in an early game in Week 6.

Marquez Valdez-Scantling expected to play vs. Buccaneers

Chiefs WR Marquez Valdes-Scantling (abdomen) is planning to play Sunday against the Buccaneers.

Fantasy Impact: 

It sounds like MVS is going to push and try to play through the injury and return for the first time since Week 1, but he only practiced on Wednesday, so even if he does play, he may very well be quite limited Sunday night. And that's another issue for fantasy purposes, he's playing Sunday night and isn't a reliable option due to the injury, so either way, he's probably best suited for the bench this week in your lineups. MVS is currently our WR68 this week.

Jakobi Meyers downgraded to out vs. Packers

The Patriots downgraded WR Jakobi Meyers (knee) to out for Sunday's game against the Packers.

Fantasy Impact: 

Meyers was originally listed as questionable with a knee injury, but will now miss his second straight game. The Patriots will be without Meyers and, of course, QB Mac Jones at Lambeau, so it's Nelson Agholor and DeVante Parker as the top options on the outside for Brian Hoyer, our No. 32 QB this week. It could be a long day in Green Bay for the Patriots.

The Lions have downgraded WR DJ Chark (ankle) to out for Sunday's game against the Seahawks.

Fantasy Impact: 

The Lions will now be without Chark, Amon-Ra St. Brown (ankle) and D'Andre Swift (ankle/shoulder) against Seattle. That leaves Josh Reynolds (who is also banged up with an ankle injury), Kalif Raymond and Quintez Cephus as the top options this week for the Lions on the outside with Jamaal Williams (a near top-5 RB option) in the backfield.
