The Raiders are completing a trade of star WR Davante Adams to the Jets, sources say.

Related players: Garrett Wilson, Allen Lazard, Mike Williams, Aaron Rodgers, Jakobi Meyers, Tre Tucker, DJ Turner

This seemed like just a matter of time, and finally Adams is back with his good friend Rodgers. The deal was for a third round pick, according to other reports. Adams and Rodgers are very familiar with one another, and it should make for a smooth transition. It's possible Adams plays in Week 7. It's likely going to be a hit to Wilson's fantasy stock, just when Rodgers and Wilson were getting things going, too. There's a report also out today that Williams ran the wrong route in the MNF loss, and was called out by Rodgers after it resulted in an interception. The addition of Adams likely means Williams takes a big backseat in the offense, and it's even possible he gets moved before the deadline at this point. As for the Raiders, Bowers could be the focal point of this offense going forward as Meyers, Tucker and Turner battle it out to have fantasy relevance at WR. It may take some time for a pecking order to develop here, so anyone hurting for WR help can take a flier on at least Tucker and Turner, who may be on your wire.

Titans QB Will Levis will start on Sunday vs. the Colts, per Brian Callahan.

Related Players: Mason Rudolph

Levis has a good matchup against the Colts defense, but it doesn't seem likely that he will take advantage of it. He has four touchdowns and six interceptions on the year and has done so with 6.2 yards per attempt. He should only be targeted as a back-end QB2 in Superflex leagues.

Shane Steichen ruling just one #Colts player OUT for Sunday:

-Jonathan Taylor (ankle)

Michael Pittman Jr. (back) is feeling really good, per Steichen.

Anthony Richardson will be a game-time decision.

Related Players: Trey Sermon, Tyler Goodson, Joe Flacco

It hadn't been looking good for Taylor throughout the week, so maybe the bigger news is that we don't have any confirmation about Richardson's status, which has a huge impact on lineup decisions.

There are a lot of moving parts here, but we're assuming Pittman won't play and that Richardson *will*, which gives a slight boost to Josh Downs and Alec Pierce, who should be considered WR3s with upside for more.

Mike Tomlin said that Jaylen Warren was a full participant today and is “on the upswing.”

The coach feels “optimistic about his inclusion” and will list the RB as questionable.

Related Players: Najee Harris

If Warren is available, it will come at a massive detriment to Harris' fantasy outlook, as the latter as looked like his typical, inefficient self. Warren could be a tough click in his first week back, but he also lowers Harris to an RB3 if they both play.

No sight of Jonathan Taylor to start Colts practice.

Unless he comes out late, that’s a second straight missed week of practices for him.

Related Players: Trey Sermon, Tyler Goodson

What seemed to be a minor injury now looks like it will keep Taylor out for a second straight week. While Sermon easily held the RB1 role last week, he wasn't terribly impactful on the ground, doing most of his work as a receiver out of the backfield. He had his own injury scare earlier in the week, but looks good to go for Week 6. Consider him a fringe RB2/3 with Anthony Richardson (presumably) back at the helm.

For the first time in over a month, Steelers QB Russell Wilson (calf) was listed as a full participant in practice.

RB Jaylen Warren (knee) returned to practice on a limited basis.

Related Players: Justin Fields

With so much of the fantasy value from the position riding on Fields' legs, it's hard to envision many great performances from Wilson in this offense. If he suits up, he can be left on waiver wires until we see more out of him.

HC Brian Callahan: QB Will Levis probably won't practice today. We expect him to be in the practice routine this week.

Related players: Mason Rudolph

The post went on to say Levis is "improving" and he's better than he was after the game. The Titans had a bye this past week, and Callahan said if Levis is ready to go he would start in Week 6. Rudolph played pretty well in leading the Titans to a win the last time we saw him in Week 4. We'll have to see if and when Levis is able to get back on the practice field. The Titans host the Colts in an early Sunday game.

Aaron Rodgers has a sprained ankle but “should be” good to play next Monday night vs. the Bills.

Related players: Tyrod Taylor

Obviously "should be" are the key words. The game being on Monday night could complicate things for owners if Rodgers ends up being a game-time call. Reports say the Jets don't seem too concerned about his injury but owners may want to have a backup plan if they're counting on Rodgers in Week 6.

The Saints waived WR A.T. Perry, per source.

This is quite the surprise after he was pegged as the WR3 heading into the season, but he has seen absolutely no playing time through the first month of the season. If anyone is still holding him on deep Dynasty squads, it's time to cut bait.

The Steelers will be without RB Jaylen Warren (ankle) on Sunday night against the Cowboys. Rookie Aaron Shampklin will be the complement to Najee Harris in the Pittsburgh backfield.

Shampklin, a 2022 UDFA rookie out of Harvard, has one career carry, which came in Week 4. It's a good bet that Najee Harris receives nearly the entire workload with Cordarrelle Patterson also dealing with an injury. Harris is a locked in RB2.
