The final play of Sunday night’s game saw Falcons backup quarterback Tua Tagovailoa throw an interception to seal the Ravens’ 30-23 overtime win while starter Michael Penix watched from the sideline with a rib injury.

The story said after the loss, Penix said he thinks he could have stayed in if the Falcons got the ball first in OT, but, “it just started to get worse and worse as we were sitting there.” Penix will have more testing done on the injury, but said he does not think it is going to be a long-term absence. We know we can't trust players when it comes to injuries, however, and that's especially true with a rib injury. This will be something to watch this week. The Falcons have a game in the early window of Week 6, hosting the Bears.

Texans RB David Montgomery could miss time with a groin injury, head coach DeMeco Ryans said after Sunday’s win over the Titans.

Monty suffered the during the second quarter. He tallied 11 yards on five carries before leaving. It’s been quite the struggle for Monty since his 3-touchdown outing in Week 1. He has not scored more than seven fantasy points in his last four games. In fact, he hasn’t even reached 50 total yards in that stretch. Woody Marks stands to take over the lead role in the Houston backfield. The 1-4 Texans travel to London to meet the 4-1 Jaguars in Week 6 before a date with the Giants in Week 7 and then Houston has their bye in Week 8.

49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel left Sunday’s game against the Seahawks with a hamstring injury.

Samuel was injured one of the 49ers’ turnovers in the third quarter and was quickly ruled out. He was in obvious pain on the bench. The hits just keep on coming for the 49ers, who have struggled on offense in Seattle, despite scoring two touchdowns. Mike Evans is still leading the charge and Brandin Cooks is among those also mixing into the offense.

The Texans are acquiring WR Marvin Harrison Jr. from the Cardinals.

The Cardinals are getting a 2nd and 6th-round picks in 2027 in return while also sending a 7th to Houston. The mystery is over. It was reported that Harrison was being traded but the team was never revealed, perhaps as a way to drive up the price for other teams. Still, getting a 2nd-round pick in what should be a strong 2027 class for Harrison is a win for Arizona. Harrison now gets a chance to rejuvenate his career in Houston with C.J. Stroud now as his quarterback, reuniting from their Ohio State days together. The emergence of Michael Wilson also helped.

Browns WR KC Concepcion left Sunday’s game against the Jets with a head injury.

Concepcion took a helmet-to-helmet hit from Jets safety Minkah Fitzpatrick. He did walk to the locker room under his own power. Jerry Jeudy and Isaiah Bond will see more work in the absence of Concepcion.

The Packers placed RB Chris Brooks on injured reserve with an ankle injury.

The Packers signed Pierre Strong Jr. on Thursday, so the backfield is still pretty crowded in Green Bay, with Strong, Kaleb Johnson and Marshawn Lloyd. The offensive line also continues to be a work in progress. For Week 5, we have Lloyd and Johnson as top-40 options at running back -- Lloyd at RB31, Johnson at RB37 -- while Strong checks in as RB75.

The Cardinals are finalizing a deal to trade WR Marvin Harrison Jr. and he will be inactive Sunday against the Lions as the team completes the deal.

No team was given as to where he will be going, but he will be going somewhere. He just won’t be playing in Week 5. The former No. 4 overall pick never gained full traction in Arizona and did not live up to his lofty expectations. It will be interesting to see where he is heading and what Arizona will receive in return. As for the Cardinals, Michael Wilson truly is the main man in the passing game, as if he wasn’t already. Kendrick Bourne, Semi Fehoko and Jalen Brooks are the other options on the outside plus Trey McBride at tight end.

Justin Jefferson (ankle) and Jordan Addison (hamstring) are questionable for Sunday after limited practices Friday. Kevin O’Connell said the team will evaluate both before deciding whether to elevate Odell Beckham Jr. from the practice squad.

Related Players: Jauan Jennings, Tai Felton, Myles Price, Odell Beckham Jr., T.J. Hockenson, Kyler Murray, Aaron Jones

Start Jefferson if cleared; Addison would have WR2 appeal and additional upside if Jefferson sits. Hockenson remains a strong TE1 and could become the offense’s primary receiving option if both WRs miss. Jennings would move into deeper-league FLEX consideration, with Felton and Price more speculative. Beckham would need an elevation and a defined role before becoming a starting option. Murray’s ceiling drops substantially if both receivers are unavailable.

Lamar Jackson (ankle) is out for Sunday night’s game in Atlanta, and Tyler Huntley will start. Zay Flowers (foot) is questionable after practicing without a full session this week.

Related Players: Rashod Bateman, Ja’Kobi Lane, Devontez Walker, Mark Andrews, Derrick Henry, Justice Hill

Huntley is a superflex replacement whose rushing offers a usable floor. Flowers would remain a WR2 option if active, but managers need a Sunday-night or Monday fallback. If Flowers also misses, Andrews becomes Baltimore’s most appealing receiving option. Bateman would enter deeper-league FLEX consideration, while Lane and Walker remain speculative. Henry remains startable despite the offense’s reduced scoring ceiling.

Quentin Johnston (chest) and Brenen Thompson (quad) are out Sunday. Ladd McConkey (foot) is questionable after missing all three practices. The Chargers also ruled out Joe Alt and Trevor Penning and placed Rashawn Slater on injured reserve.

Related Players: Tre’ Harris, Derius Davis, Marquez Valdes-Scantling, Oronde Gadsden, Charlie Kolar, Justin Herbert, Omarion Hampton, Keaton Mitchell

Harris becomes a viable WR3/FLEX and could reach WR2 volume if McConkey also sits. Gadsden gains streaming appeal, while Davis and Valdes-Scantling remain deeper-league options. Herbert’s missing receivers and depleted protection make him difficult to trust outside Superflex leagues. Hampton could receive more touches, but the offensive line injuries limit how confidently managers can chase that volume.
