Tannehill's injury to his ankle in Week 15 ended his season. The Titans have a bye in Week 7 and they’ll make a decision on his availability after the bye, the post went on to say. The post added there is no word yet on if it’ll be Willis or Levis if Tannehill can't go.

Vikings officially have placed WR Justin Jefferson on IR.

The prevailing thought is that Jefferson may have a hard time finding the field again in 2023, particularly if the Vikings show no interest in trading him, which is a distinct possibility. It'll be hard to drop him, so hopefully you have an IR spot in your league.

Darren Waller has a groin injury and is not practicing today, either. Daboll says he’s day-to-day

Daniel Bellinger actually strung together some decent fantasy performances in 2022 before an eye injury knocked him out of action for a handful of weeks. Even if Waller misses Week 6, Bellinger will not be a recommended fantasy play, though.

HC Doug Pederson had noted while speaking Monday that Jones was slated to undergo an MRI. Jones had also missed Weeks 3 and 4 with a knee issue. In three games this season, he has eight catches for 78 yards with two touchdowns.

The exact timetable is to be determined and depends on how he responds to treatment, according to Pelissero, but he's going to miss at least the next four games. It's a huge loss for the Vikings who have struggled to start the season, and it's a huge loss for fantasy owners who likely drafted Jefferson first overall this summer. Pelissero mentioned the Vikings will now lean on players like Addison, Osborn and Hockenson in the passing game, and Mattison could be more involved as well out of the backfield.

The schedule lightens up as the season goes on, but Pickett should remain on benches until the offense proves it can be better.

Steelers upgraded QB Kenny Pickett to a full participant today in practice, putting him on track to start Sunday vs. the Ravens despite the bone bruise in his knee.

Even if Pickett starts, he can't be plugged into fantasy lineups until the Steelers woeful offense begins to progress.

Practice will be the guide for Steelers QB Kenny Pickett.

The Steelers will use practice as a guide to scale how much time Pickett will miss; it could be none, or it sounds like it could be up to three weeks. In deep Superflex leagues with deep benches, stashing Mitch Trubisky wouldn't be the worst idea.

Tomlin on Kenny Pickett. He has a bone bruise and is scheduled to participate tomorrow and the Steelers will evaluate him from there.

The post went on to quote Tomlin as saying, "The more comfortable and functional is, the more work he'll get." It seems like Pickett has a chance to suit up in Week 5, however there is still a long way to go and it seems far from a sure thing. The Steelers have a bye in Week 6 but sit at 2-2 heading into a game with a division rival in Week 5.

Kenny Pickett's knee injury is bone bruise, and Pickett also has a muscle strain, NFL Media reports.

It is not serious but could lead to a short-term absence, the story said. The Steelers, however, are leaving the door open for Pickett to play this week, per NFL Media, but the fact that they have an off week in Week 6 could play a factor in their decision. If Pickett can't go this week, Trubisky would likely be the Week 5 starter.
