Melvin Gordon questionable for Week 5

Oct 08, 2021

Broncos RB Melvin Gordon (leg) is questionable for Week 5 at Pittsburgh.

Fantasy Impact:

The Broncos will need Gordon with injuries plaguing the other offensive skill positions. Make sure you have another option if Gordon is in consideration for you.

Texans RB Joe Mixon not expected to return this season

Sources: Texans RB Joe Mixon is not expected to play this season as he deals with a foot injury from the offseason.

Mixon likely remains on the Physically Unable to Perform list through the season. Meanwhile, Houston moves forward with Nick Chubb and Woody Marks.

Fantasy Impact:

This shouldn't come as much of a surprise considering we haven't heard a peep about him in months. As such, this doesn't impact Marks and Chubb's ROS outlook. We'll have to see how this impacts Mixon's 2026 availability.

Bengals listed QB Joe Burrow as a full participant in today’s practice.

Related Players: Joe Flacco

Fantasy Impact:

This would be a very early return for Burrow, particularly when we consider that the team is 3-7 at the moment. If he were to somehow make a miraculous return in Week 12, he would actually be in a good spot against the Patriots' 25th-ranked defense according to QB aFPA, but he'd also be without Ja'Marr Chase, who is serving a one-game suspension. We'll keep an eye on the situation.

Giants QB Jaxson Dart logs limited Wednesday practice

The Giants listed QB Jaxson Dart as a limited, non-contact participant in today's practice, his first since suffering a concussion in Week 10.

Related Players: Jameis Winston

Fantasy Impact:

Even if the team pulls back the reins a little on Dart's designed rushes, he still has the rushing upside to land as a top-15 option if he plays in Week 12. Consider him a QB streaming option, should he be cleared in time.
