Jakobi Meyers caught 5-of-10 targets for 83 yards in Jacksonville’s Week 6 loss to the Texans.
WR Jakobi, Meyers JAX
Oct 18, 2026 14:00

It’s his highest target total of the season and the first time Meyers has managed 10 targets since Week 14 of the 2025 season. No touchdown here, but Meyers is a fine real-life third receiver who has mostly been left to the FLEX life in Jacksonville. He enters the bye as someone who can be dropped in shallow leagues in a roster crunch, but also someone solidly in the top 50 wideouts in the league on a good offense.

Jaelan Phillips (hamstring) is questionable to return to Week 6 against the Eagles.
Jaelan, Phillips

Phillips came into this game questionable with a hamstring injury but was able to suit up. Unfortunately, he got hurt early in the first quarter and is unlikely to return. Considering he had the bye week to heal and is not 100 percent, it seems likely that the EDGE rusher will miss some time with the injury.

Parker Washington caught 4-of-11 targets for 64 yards in Jacksonville’s Week 6 loss to the Texans.
WR Parker, Washington JAX
Oct 18, 2026 14:00

A lot of these incompletions were balls Washington got a hand on but couldn’t quite reel in as was breaking to the sideline. Washington displayed his speed and shiftiness on a 27-yard catch-and-run in the second quarter where he cut through both Texans linebackers for a big gain. He is a fantasy WR2 as the Jaguars enter their bye week. Washington is #onpace for a near-1,200 yard season with 14 touchdowns even after this dud.

Travis Hunter caught 4-of-4 targets for 59 yards and a touchdown in Jacksonville’s Week 6 loss to the Texans.
WR Travis, Hunter JAX
Oct 18, 2026 14:00

In London, where Travis Hunter’s best games live, Hunter both caught a touchdown and picked off C.J. Stroud (his first of the season), becoming the first player to do both in the same game since Brian Dawkins in 2002. Hunter did all this on just nine offensive snaps. The skill is there to do this on offense, but the Jaguars have really been defense-first with his snaps this year. Depending on the post-bye buzz, Hunter could be a reasonable pick-up in fantasy leagues ahead of Week 8’s games.

Brian Thomas Jr. failed to catch either of his two targets in Jacksonville’s Week 6 loss to the Texans.
WR Brian, Thomas JAX
Oct 18, 2026 14:00

That’s three games with three or fewer targets and Thomas Jr. has put up back-to-back bagels in London, apparently distraught over the local cuisine. He absolutely does not have to be rostered in most fantasy leagues through Jacksonville’s Week 7 bye.

Quinshon Judkins (ankle) will not play in Week 6 against the Ravens.
RB Quinshon, Judkins CLE
Oct 18, 2026 12:00

Judkins tested out his ankle in pregame warmups, with the team deciding afterward that he would not play in this AFC North battle with the Ravens. With backup Dylan Sampson still sidelined and Raheim Sanders (hip) on injured reserve, the Browns will look to Jaleel McLaughlin and the recently signed Audric Estime to lead their backfield in Week 6. This is looking like a backfield to avoid for this week, but McLaughlin could have some value in deeper leagues. The Browns also ruled QB Taylen Green, CB Noah Igbinoghene, DT Mike Hall Jr., C Parker Brailsford, OG Teven Jenkins, and DT Mason Graham inactive for this week.

Omar Cooper (ankle) is active for Week 6 against the Patriots.
WR Omar, Cooper NYJ
Oct 18, 2026 12:00

Up for the first time since Week 1, Cooper should immediately slide in as the Jets’ No. 2 wideout with Adonai Mitchell (finger) still somehow on the shelf. He’s a dart throw WR4 for a contest where the Jets should be playing from behind. Joining Mitchell on the shelf for Gang Green are RB Breece Hall, CB Nahshon Wright, LG Dylan Parham, DT Jack Heflin and EDGE Joseph Ossai.

Kenyon Sadiq (concussion) is active for Week 6 against the Patriots.
TE Kenyon, Sadiq NYJ
Oct 18, 2026 12:00

Sadiq made quick work of the league’s concussion protocol, for better or worse. With Omar Cooper Jr. also active vs. the Pats, Sadiq isn’t much more than a low-end TE2 prayer.

Colts TE Tyler Warren is inactive for Indianapolis’ Week 6 game against the Titans.
TE Tyler, Warren IND
Oct 18, 2026 12:00

Warren suffered a groin injury during Friday’s practice and was put on the questionable line; this is not great news for his chances of playing in Week 7’s game. Fantasy managers relying on Warren must immediately pivot elsewhere. Also inactive for the Colts are WR Ashton Dulin, LB Jaylon Carlies, QB Riley Leonard (third quarterback), and G Dalton Tucker.

TreVeyon Henderson (ankle) is active for Week 6 against the Jets.
RB TreVeyon, Henderson NEP
Oct 18, 2026 12:00

As are A.J. Brown (ankle) and LT Will Campbell (knee). It’s a rare day where all the injury news went right for a team. We can’t imagine Henderson will be in large for a particularly big backup role behind Rhamondre Stevenson, but the fact that a player the Pats didn’t even really “need” for Week 6 is giving it a go suggests he is close to regular health. Henderson is a boom/bust FLEX option. Inactive for the Patriots are CB Carlton Davis, CB Karon Prunty, QB Behren Morton, CB Channing Canada, OT Dametrious Crownover and TE Tanner Arkin.

Eagles declared WR Hollywood Brown, RB Saquon Barkley, S Michael Carter II, EDGE A.J. Epenesa, EDGE Jalyx Hunt, and QB Joe Milton inactive for Week 6 against the Panthers.
WR Marquise, Brown PHI
Oct 18, 2026 12:00

Despite the Eagles’ absurdly lengthy injury report, they only had one player listed as questionable for Week 6. That was center Drew Kendall, who is active. Brown was dealing with an ankle issue earlier this week but was cleared from the injury report on Friday, making him a healthy scratch.

Bucs declared RB Sean Tucker, DL DeMonte Capehart, OG Luke Haggard, QB Baker Mayfield, CB Benjamin Morrison, G Billy Schrauth, and S Antoine Winfield Jr. inactive for Week 6 against the Steelers.
RB Sean, Tucker TBB
Oct 18, 2026 12:00

Tucker has stolen the occasional goal line carry from Bucky Irving this year, though he only has eight attempts in total. His absence will move Irving up a spot or two in the RB2 ranks.

Tyjae Spears is active for Tennessee’s Week 6 game against the Colts.
RB Tyjae, Spears TEN
Oct 18, 2026 12:00

He was questionable after a full practice, but will play against the Colts as a reasonable-if-unexciting FLEX option. Inactive for the Titans are S Kevin Winston Jr., CB Alontae Taylor (coach’s decision), RB Nick Singleton, T Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson, TE Kylen Granson, DL Jordan Elliott and DT Jackie Marshall.

Ravens declared QB Lamar Jackson, WR Elijah Sarratt, FS K’Von Wallace, C Cam Jurgens, OG Andrew Vorhees, TE Matthew Hibner, and DE Broderick Washington inactive for Week 6 against the Browns.
QB Lamar, Jackson BAL
Oct 18, 2026 12:00

The Ravens didn’t have any players listed as questionable entering the weekend, so all of these players are either healthy scratches or were ruled out before Sunday. The Ravens will start Tyler Huntley for the second consecutive week as Jackson continues to recover from the ankle injury he suffered in Week 4 against the Titans.

Saints declared RB Alvin Kamara (back) active for Week 6 against the Giants.
RB Alvin, Kamara NOS
Oct 18, 2026 12:00

Kamara is active after NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported he would be expected to play in Week 6. He played through the back injury last week and is part of a rough running back committee in the Saints backfield. Kamara is in the RB4 ranks for fantasy purposes. Also active is Chris Olave (illness). The Saints declared QB Zach Wilson, EDGE Anfernee Jennings, S Mike Reid, LB Kaden Elliss, DT Nathan Shepherd, and DT John Ridgeway inactive for Week 6 against the Giants.

Panthers declared OT Monroe Freeling, TE Ja’Tavion Sanders, QB Haynes King, RB AJ Dillon, OG Torricelli Simpkins, OT Albert Reese, and DT TeRah Edwards inactive for Week 6 against the Eagles.
Monroe, Freeling
Oct 18, 2026 12:00

The good news is that offensive tackle Taylor Moton is active for the first time this year. He missed the first month of the season while recovering from treatment for a blood clot. He will start at right tackle in place of Freeling.

Rico Dowdle (toe) is active for Week 6 against the Bucs.
RB Rico, Dowdle PIT
Oct 18, 2026 12:00

Dowdle is back after missing three games with the toe issue. He will form a committee with Jaylen Warren, but the latter’s elite play last week likely earned him a larger split of the backfield in Week 6. Dowdle will primarily operate between the tackles, pushing him to the back of the RB3 ranks.

Pat Freiermuth (calf) is active for Week 6 against the Bucs.
TE Pat, Freiermuth PIT
Oct 18, 2026 12:00

Muth was a late addition to the injury report, with the Steelers adding him on Saturday and listing him as questionable. With multiple starting receivers out this week, Muth will be asked to take on more work as a pass-catcher, moving him up the TE2 ranks. Inactive for the Steelers are WR Ben Skowronek, QB Drew Allar, QB Will Howard, CB Sean Murphy-Bunting, RB Eli Heidenreich, CB Terell Smith, and DL Kevin Jobity Jr.

Michael Penix (ribs) is active for Week 6 against the Bears.
QB Michael, Penix ATL
Oct 18, 2026 12:00

Penix was able to practice this week and will start for Atlanta in a potentially high scoring game against the Bears. Penix should be considered a streaming option in most formats. Falcons declared QB Cooper Rush, QB Jack Strand, CB C.J. Henderson, DB Malcolm DeWalt IV, LB Christian Harris, OL Ethan Onianwa, and DE Drake Jackson inactive against the Bears.

Giants declared TE Theo Johnson, CB Colton Hood, QB Jake Haener, S Tyler Nubin, OL Jermaine Eluemunor, and DL C.J. Okoye inactive for Week 6 against the Saints.
TE Theo, Johnson NYG
Oct 18, 2026 12:00

Johnson was declared out heading into the weekend with a neck injury. Also out due to injury are Hood (concussion), Eluemunor (calf), and Nubin (neck). Expect to see more Thomas Fidone behind Isaiah Likely at the tight end position with Johnson out against the Saints.

Caleb Williams (hamstring) is active for Week 6 against the Falcons.
QB Caleb, Williams CHI
Oct 18, 2026 12:00

Williams will make his return to the starting lineup after being sidelined for a few weeks with a hamstring injury while the Bears declared RB Kyle Monangai, CB Tyrique Stevenson, LB T.J. Edwards, LB Keyshaun Elliott, OL Jordan McFadden, DL Jayden Loving, and QB Case Keenum inactive against Atlanta. Monongai’s absence should translate into another big workload for D’Andre Swift, facing a tough Falcons rush defense. Meanwhile, Tyson Bagent will serve as Williams’ backup.

Reed Blankenship (concussion) was ruled out of Houston’s Week 6 game against the Jaguars.
Reed, Blankenship
Oct 18, 2026 12:00

Blankenship suffered the concussion near the end of the first half and was carted off with a towel over his head. MJ Stewart took over at safety for a suddenly-ordinary Texans defense.

NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo reports A.J. Brown (ankle) is expected to play “a good amount” in Week 6 against the Jets.
WR A.J., Brown PHI
Oct 18, 2026 11:00

Brown was activated from injured reserve this week and will suit up versus the Jets. It was reasonable to expect some sort of snap count in his first game back, but it sounds like Brown will be a full-go after looking great in practice this week. In desperate need of a true WR1 to step up, the Pats should pepper Brown with targets this week. He is back in the fantasy WR2 ranks after the lengthy absence.

Azeez Al-Shaair left Houston’s Week 6 game against the Jaguars to be evaluated for a concussion.
Azeez, Al-Shaair
Oct 18, 2026 11:00

The Jaguars have been able to impose their will on the Texans in the run game in the first half, and this won’t help matters. Al-Shaair left after Jacksonville scored their first touchdown in the second quarter and was spotted walking to the locker room.

ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reports Tyler Warren (groin) is a game-time decisions for Week 6 against the Titans.
TE Tyler, Warren IND
Oct 18, 2026 10:00

Warren suffered the groin injury during Friday’s practice. He was added to the injury report and listed as questionable for Week 6. Of note, Warren also dealt with a groin injury late in training camp, though he was ready to go for Week 1 and had not appeared on the injury report again until this week. Even if he does suit up, Warren will be at far less than 100 percent. Expect Josh Downs and Keenan Allen to take on more work whether or not Warren is active.
