  • Tyreek Hill WR | MIA

    Chiefs' Tyreek Hill: Active for Week 6

    Hill (quad) is listed as active for Sunday's game against Washington, Herbie Teope of The Kansas City Star reports.

    After logging back-to-back DNPs Wednesday and Thursday, Hill returned to a limited practice Friday, setting the stage for him to be active Sunday. Barring any in-game setbacks, the playmaking wideout should continue to be a focal point of Kansas City's offense in Week 6. Five games into the 2021 season, Hill has recorded a team-high 37 catches (on 51 targets) for 516 yards and four TDs, as well as four carries for 45 yards.

  • Kadarius Toney WR | CLE

    Giants' Kadarius Toney: Ready for Sunday

    Toney (ankle) is active for Sunday's game against the Rams, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

    Toney was limited in practice throughout the week after picking up an ankle injury late in last Sunday's loss to the Cowboys shortly before he was ejected from the contest. He won't face a suspension after throwing a punch at a Cowboys defender, and after demonstrating enough progress in his recovery from the ankle injury, Toney should be on track to handle a top-two role at receiver for the Giants in Week 5 with Kenny Golladay (knee) and Darius Slayton (hamstring) both inactive. Expect Toney to remain highly involved on offense after he broke out for 196 yards from scrimmage on 11 touches (10 catches, one carry) in Week 5.

  • Mike Williams WR | LAC

    Chargers' Mike Williams: Active for Sunday's game

    Williams (knee) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Ravens, Gilbert Manzano of The Orange County Register reports.

    Though the wideout, who was dealing with some knee swelling after Week 5 action, didn't practice this past week and was listed as questionable for Sunday's contest, ESPN's Jeremy Fowler relays that coach Brandon Staley indicated that the Chargers "just tried to be careful with (Williams) this week at the beginning of the week, make sure that he's feeling his best for Sunday." While it remains to be seen if Williams is able to handle his normal snap allotment versus Baltimore, as long as his knee holds up he should continue to see his share of targets from QB Justin Herbert.

  • Allen Robinson WR | DET

    Bears' Allen Robinson: Active in Week 6

    Robinson (ankle) is active for Sunday's game versus the Packers.

    Robinson got on the practice field just once during Week 6 prep due to an ankle issue -- he was limited at Friday's practice -- but he'll gut it out in this divisional matchup. In seven career contests against Green Bay, he's been fairly productive, compiling a 37-525-2 receiving line on 74 targets across seven matchups.

  • Terry McLaurin WR | WAS

    Football Team's Terry McLaurin: Cleared for matchup with KC

    McLaurin (hamstring) is active for Sunday's game against the Chiefs.

    McLaurin was a late addition to Washington's Week 6 injury report, as the team opted to hold him out of Friday's session due to the hamstring issue. Head coach Ron Rivera suggested McLaurin's lack of participation Friday was precautionary more than anything, and now that he's avoided the inactive list, the wideout should fill his normal role as quarterback Taylor Heinicke's top target.

  • Mack Hollins WR | NE

    Dolphins' Mack Hollins: Headed for extra snaps

    Hollins is expected to take on an expanded role at receiver for the Dolphins during Sunday's game in London against the Jaguars with DeVante Parker (shoulder/hamstring) and Preston Williams (groin) inactive for the contest, Omar Kelly of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

    Will Fuller (finger) also remains on injured reserve, so Miami will be without three of its top four receivers Week 6. Jaylen Waddle is locked in as quarterback Tua Tagovailoa's top target at the position, but it's unclear who among Hollins, Albert Wilson, Isaiah Ford and Kirk Merritt might start alongside the rookie first-round pick. Given that Ford and Merritt were recently called up from the practice squad, Wilson and Hollins would appear to be first in line for reps alongside Waddle, though Kelly notes that Miami is also expected to deploy more two-tight end sets than usual. Hollins drew his first pair of targets of the season in last week's loss to the Buccaneers, recording a 10-yard reception.

  • Darius Slayton WR | IND

    Giants' Darius Slayton: Looks like game-time call

    Slayton (hamstring), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Rams, will go through a pregame workout before the Giants determine his status, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

    Final word on Slayton's status should arrive around 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff, when the Giants will reveal their inactive list. The Giants are already missing top wideout Kenny Golladay (knee) for the Week 6 contest, while Slayton's availability appears to be less locked in than rookie Kadarius Toney's (ankle), who is listed as questionable but expected to play. Slayton has missed the Giants' past two games with the hamstring injury.

  • Tyron Johnson WR | DAL

    Jaguars' Tyron Johnson: Not playing in London

    Johnson (coach's decision) is a healthy inactive for Sunday's game against the Dolphins in London, John Reid of The Florida Times-Union reports.

    Johnson will be in street clothes for the second straight week while the Jaguars dress five other receivers (Marvin Jones, Laviska Shenault, Jamal Agnew, Tavon Austin and Laquon Treadwell) ahead of him. After emerging as a key deep threat in the Chargers' passing attack in 2020, Johnson has failed to gain much traction in the Jacksonville offense this season. While suiting up in the first four games, Johnson drew just three targets in total and played only 25 total snaps.

  • Allen Robinson WR | DET

    Bears' Allen Robinson: On track for Sunday

    Robinson (ankle), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Packers, is expected to play, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Robinson missed practice Wednesday and Thursday before logging a limited session Friday. Fortunately for those considering Robinson in Week 6 fantasy lineups, the Bears kick off a 1 p.m. ET on Sunday. The wideout has yet to forge much of a connection with quarterback Justin Fields through the rookie's first three starts, recording nine receptions for 122 yards and no touchdowns on 14 targets across those contests.

  • Terry McLaurin WR | WAS

    Football Team's Terry McLaurin: Likely to play Sunday

    McLaurin (hamstring), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's matchup against the Chiefs, is expected to play, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    McLaurin missed Friday's practice due to a hamstring injury, but head coach Ron Rivera said it was due to an "abundance of caution" rather than a significant injury. Still, fantasy managers will want to check McLaurin's status before the 1 p.m. ET kickoff Sunday.
