Steve Johnson (back) avoided serious injury

The Indianapolis Colts today released wide receiver Darius Slayton.

It's fair to say Slayton can be dropped in even the deepest of Dynasty leagues after he failed to find the field on a WR-heavy Colts team. This is slightly more encouraging for Treadwell, who has received a surprising amount of usage.

Tyler Badie is OUT with a thumb injury

Related Players: J.K. Dobbins, RJ Harvey, Jonah Coleman

If Badie misses Week 7, Harvey would become a more appealing PPR FLEX option with additional passing-down work available. Dobbins remains the stronger volume-based RB2 option after handling 20 touches Thursday. Coleman is also a stash candidate in most standard or deep leagues.

Jalen Nailor practiced on a limited basis Thursday, his first practice since suffering a concussion in Week 4 against Kansas City.

Related Players: Tre Tucker, Cody White, Dareke Young, Malik Benson, Brock Bowers, Michael Mayer, Kirk Cousins

Nailor is worth monitoring in deeper leagues, but managers should wait for confirmed concussion clearance before considering him for a FLEX spot. His return would create more competition for the secondary receivers’ routes. Tucker remains the strongest Raiders WR option, while Bowers remains an elite TE1.
