AD Mitchell had a small procedure on his hand but he’s moving his fingers around well. He’s still week to week, Aaron Glenn said.

Related Players: Garrett Wilson, Isaiah Williams, Sterling Shepard, Malik McClain, Mason Taylor, Kenyon Sadiq, Jeremy Ruckert, Geno Smith

Wilson remains a strong start, and Isaiah Williams has deep-league FLEX appeal while Mitchell stays out. Shepard and McClain remain speculative options.

Browns KC Concepcion (concussion) is progressing very well and is set to practice today. That’s remarkable considering he was knocked out cold when Jets Minkah Fitzpatrick hit him helmet to helmet.

Related Players: Denzel Boston, Jerry Jeudy, Tylan Wallace, Isaiah Bond, Malachi Corley, Harold Fannin, Deshaun Watson

Concepcion managers should retain an alternative until he clears concussion protocol. If he misses, Boston would have WR2 upside from additional targets, while Jeudy would enter deeper PPR FLEX consideration. Fannin remains a TE1 option and could benefit from a thinner receiving group.

Caleb Williams will be a full participant on today's injury report, Ben Johnson said.

Today is a walkthrough, so the injury report is an estimate.

Related Players: Tyson Bagent, Case Keenum, Luther Burden, Rome Odunze, Kalif Raymond, Zavion Thomas, Colston Loveland, Cole Kmet, D’Andre Swift

Williams would return to QB1 consideration if cleared to start against Atlanta. His availability would improve the scoring ceiling for Burden, Odunze and Loveland. Burden would be a WR2 option, Odunze a WR3/FLEX with WR2 upside, and Loveland a tight end streamer.

John Harbaugh said the Giants’ tempo package helped open up the offense against Washington and should remain part of their approach going forward, Patricia Traina reports. Harbaugh acknowledged that game flow pushed New York toward that approach during Sunday’s comeback.

Related Players: Jameis Winston, Malik Nabers, Darnell Mooney, Malachi Fields, Isaiah Likely, Theo Johnson, Cam Skattebo, Najee Harris

Winston remains a superflex option with passing-volume upside against New Orleans. Nabers has WR1 upside and Likely remains a strong TE1 choice. Mooney and Fields are deeper-league options whose appeal would improve if the faster pace produces more passing opportunities. Skattebo remains the preferred backfield start; managers should avoid counting on another 54-attempt game when setting expectations for the secondary receivers.

Ravens WR Ja’Kobi Lane is expected to return to practice, four weeks after wrist surgery, per me and @RapSheet. The rookie, who impressed in camp and was set to have a big role in the team’s offense, has a shot to play this weekend, per HC Jesse Minter.

Related Players: Zay Flowers, Rashod Bateman, Devontez Walker, Elijah Sarratt, LaJohntay Wester, Mark Andrews, Lamar Jackson, Tyler Huntley

Lane is worth a deeper-league stash before a potential activation, but managers should wait for confirmation of his availability and workload before lineup consideration. His return would add competition for Bateman and Baltimore’s reserve receivers. Flowers remains the preferred WR start, while Andrews stays in streaming consideration. Jackson’s availability would improve Lane’s chances of becoming a useful fantasy option.

The Chargers are signing veteran QB Jake Browning, per source.

Related players: DJ Uiagalelei, Justin Herbert

With Trey Lance heading to IR, the Bolts needed another arm. It's unclear who will earn the QB2 role behind Herbert. Uiagalelei is a former Florida State QB the Chargers signed in 2025. Browning is a former Bengal who backed up Joe Burrow and had some moments of success. He eventually lost the starting role to Joe Flacco in 2025.

Joe Brady threatens James Cook’s playing time: “We’re putting the ball in harm’s way.. It’s negating all the positive.. I have confidence in him.. At some point there has to be consequences.. It’s gotta improve or the carries are gonna decrease.”

Related players: Ray Davis, Ty Johnson

Cook fumbled twice on Monday night and has four fumbles in five games. There isn't much owners can do here other than hope they don't see another fumble. But if there is, Cook may be sitting for at least a bit, giving way to Davis and Johnson.

Browns have signed RB Audric Estime and placed RB Raheim Sanders on IR for at least four games. Big loss.

Related players: Jaleel McLaughlin, Michael Burton, Quinshon Judkins

The Estime signing happened Monday and now makes sense as Judkins keeps losing his RB2. Sanders had been getting 4-5 touches since Week 3, so those will have to go somewhere else. McLaughlin is more of a receiving back so Judkins owners may want to think about adding Estime, who looks to be an injury away from significant time.

The Seahawks released another estimated practice report on Tuesday and it didn’t feature a change in status for wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba or defensive tackle Leonard Williams.

Both players were listed as limited participants due to ankle injuries for the second straight day.

The Seahawks will release injury designations for Thursday’s game against the Broncos on Wednesday, the story said. So, we'll know more then, but JSN looks like he has a chance to go on TNF despite the injury in Week 5 and a short week.

nd yes, Jalen Coker is here too practicing for the #Panthers. Dave Canales said the WR was “on track” to play this week on Monday.

Continue to monitor but it looks like Coker will be good to go at the Eagles in a game that's in the early window on Sunday. Coker was off to a hot start in Weeks 1 and 2 before leaving in Week 3. He was out in Week 4 and then had the extra week over the bye in Week 5. It may be best to wait and see but Coker, had 9 targets each in Weeks 1 and 2, so it may be tempting to put him right back in lineups.
