Devin Singletary RB | NYG
Giants' Devin Singletary: Questionable for Sunday night
Singletary (groin) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bengals, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Coach Brian Daboll said, "We'll see," when reporters asked him about Singletary's Week 6 availability earlier Friday, per Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com. A game-time decision is possible, which would put a lot of fantasy managers in a tricky spot with the Giants playing on Sunday Night Football. Tyrone Tracy and Eric Gray came out of the gate splitting snaps and touches in Singletary's absence last week, with Tracy then dominating the workload after Gray lost a fumble near the goal line at the end of a lengthy opening drive. Tracy ended up taking 62 percent of snaps and 19 touches for 130 yards, making him a reasonable fantasy starter for Week 5 if Singletary is out again.

Chase Brown RB | CIN
Bengals' Chase Brown: Questionable for Sunday
Brown (quadricep) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at the Giants.
Brown was a midweek addition to the Bengals' practice report Thursday as limited due to a quad injury. On Friday, coach Zac Taylor relayed to Geoff Hobson of the team's official site that both Brown and fellow RB Zack Moss (foot) were good to go for Week 6 action, but Brown won't avoid a designation heading into the weekend. While Brown seemingly is in line to be available Sunday, his status won't be confirmed until about 90 minutes before an 8:20 p.m. ET kickoff.

Trey Sermon RB | PIT
Colts' Trey Sermon: Set for Week 6 lead role
Sermon is poised to lead the Colts backfield Sunday against the Titans, with Jonathan Taylor (ankle) ruled out for the game.
While Taylor was sidelined for the Colts' loss to the Jaguars in Week 5, Sermon racked up 63 yards from scrimmage and a touchdown on 10 carries and six catches. Sermon's 16 touches were double the total of fellow running back Tyler Goodson, and a similar distribution could be in place Week 6 with Taylor out for a second straight game.

Travis Etienne RB | NO
Jaguars' Travis Etienne: Suiting up for London game
Etienne (shoulder) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Bears, Demetrius Harvey of the Florida Times-Union reports.
Etienne was limited in all three of Jacksonville's practices leading up to Sunday's game in London, but that was enough to earn him the green light. Despite being healthy enough to play, he likely will be looking at a reduced workload due to the emergence of Tank Bigsby, who has rushed for 191 yards and two touchdowns over the last two games compared to Etienne's 67 yards on the ground over that span.

Jaylen Warren RB | PIT
Steelers' Jaylen Warren: Questionable for Sunday
Coach Mike Tomlin said Friday that Warren (knee) will be listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Raiders, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.
Per Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com, Warren was able to practice fully Friday, which gives him a chance to suit up this weekend after being viewed as doubtful earlier this week. The Steelers kick off at 4:05 p.m. ET on Sunday, so ideally those inclined to consider him in fantasy lineups will have more context regarding his status prior to the first wave of kickoffs.

Bijan Robinson RB | ATL
Falcons' Bijan Robinson: Cleared to play against Panthers
Robinson (hamstring) practiced fully Friday and doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Panthers, Marc Raimondi of ESPN.com reports.
Robinson was limited in Thursday's practice due to a hamstring injury, which presumably is the same injury that cut into his Week 5 practice time before the second-year running back ultimately suited up for a 36-30 overtime win over the Buccaneers. He's underwhelmed after being a consensus first-round pick in fantasy drafts, but he has a golden opportunity to break out Sunday against a Panthers defense that has allowed a league-high nine rushing touchdowns to running backs this season.

Nick Chubb RB | HOU
Browns' Nick Chubb: Not ready this week
Chubb (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Eagles, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Chubb, who remains on the reserve/PUP list, has been able to practice in a limited capacity, but his next chance to be activated for game action will have to wait at least a week. In his continued absence, Jerome Ford, D'Onta Foreman and Pierre Strong are slated to handle Cleveland's backfield duties versus Philadelphia.

James Cook RB | BUF
Bills' James Cook: Estimated as non-practice participant
Cook (toe) was deemed a non-participant in Friday's walkthrough.
With back-to-back listed DNPs on Thursday and Friday, what (if anything) Cook is able to do Saturday could loom large in terms of his availability for Monday night's game against the Jets. Unless he practices fully, however, the running back presumably will carry a Week 6 injury designation. If Cook ends up unavailable against New York, Ty Johnson and Ray Davis would be next up for the Bills' backfield touches.

Jonathan Taylor RB | IND
Colts' Jonathan Taylor: Ruled out for Sunday
Colts head coach Shane Steichen said Friday that Taylor (ankle) won't play Sunday against the Titans.
With Taylor set to miss his second straight contest, Trey Sermon and Tyler Goodson are in line to lead the Indianapolis backfield Week 6. Taylor's next chance to suit up for a game will arrive Oct. 20 against the Dolphins in Week 7.

Chase Brown RB | CIN
Bengals' Chase Brown: Ready for Week 6 action
Coach Zac Taylor noted Friday that Brown (quadricep) is good to go for Sunday night's game against the Giants, Geoff Hobson of the Bengals' official site and Ben Baby of ESPN.com report.
The quad injury that limited Brown on Thursday was evidently very minor, and he's in line to continue to share backfield duties with Zack Moss (foot), who also is set to be available this weekend, per Taylor. Through Cincinnati's first five contests, Brown has carried 41 times for 230 yards and two TDs and added 10 catches for 39 yards and another score, while Moss has logged 57 carries for 211 yards and two touchdowns and caught 15 passes for 124 yards and a TD.
