  • Zay Jones WR | ARI

    Cardinals' Zay Jones: Active in Week 6

    Jones (knee) is listed as active Sunday in Indianapolis, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

    After being limited in practice for all of Week 6 prep due to a knee injury, Jones was listed as questionable for Sunday's game. Now that his availability has been confirmed, he'll continue to serve as the Cardinals' No. 3 WR behind Marvin Harrison and Michael Wilson, which so far has amounted to a modest 5-37-0 line on seven targets in four contests for Jones this season.

  • Chargers' Quentin Johnston: Sitting out Week 6

    Johnston (hamstring) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Dolphins.

    Johnston took a questionable tag into the weekend after turning in limited practices Wednesday through Friday and was viewed as a game-time decision leading up to Sunday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff, but the Chargers have ultimately chosen to hold out the ascending third-year wideout for the first time this season. In Johnston's absence, more target volume could be available for starting wideouts Ladd McConkey and Keenan Allen, while rookie Tre' Harris and KeAndre Lambert-Smith could benefit from more playing time in three-receiver formations. Given that he seemed to close to playing Sunday before being made inactive, Johnston should have decent odds of returning to action Week 7 versus the Colts.

  • Zay Flowers WR | BAL

    Ravens' Zay Flowers: Active versus Rams

    Flowers (shoulder) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Rams.

    After being deemed limited in all three of the Ravens' practices this week, Flowers drew a 'questionable' designation for Week 6. With his active status versus Los Angeles confirmed, for the second week in a row Flowers will be catching passes from QB Cooper Rush, with Lamar Jackson (hamstring) still sidelined. While the wideout is available Sunday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network suggests that Flowers isn't likely to be 100 percent and is a candidate to play less than his typical allotment of snaps in a wideout corps that also includes Rashod Bateman, DeAndre Hopkins and Tylan Wallace. In last Sunday's 44-10 loss to the Texans, Flowers was Baltimore's top pass catcher, recording five receptions on as many targets for 72 yards, while logging an 84 percent snap share.

  • Terry McLaurin WR | WAS

    Commanders' Terry McLaurin: Could be back for Week 7

    McLaurin (quadriceps) will remain out for Monday's game against the Bears but has avoided any setbacks in his recovery thus far and has a chance at returning to action Week 7 versus the Cowboys, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    Since exiting the Commanders' Week 3 win over the Raiders due to the quad injury, McLaurin hasn't practiced in any fashion and is set to miss a third straight game Monday, though he's reportedly moved through his rehab program as expected thus far. While the Commanders remain hopeful that McLaurin will be ready to go for a divisional matchup in Week 7, he'll still likely need to take reps in at least one or two practices from next Wednesday through Friday in order to gain clearance to play. With McLaurin in street clothes for another game and with Noah Brown (groin) also sidelined Week 6, Deebo Samuel is expected to serve as the Commanders' top passing-game target for another game, assuming he's able to play through the heel injury that has resulted in him taking a questionable tag into Monday.

  • CeeDee Lamb WR | DAL

    Cowboys' CeeDee Lamb: Has 'chance to play' Week 7

    Lamb (ankle) remains out for Sunday's game at Carolina, but he's getting closer to a return to action and "has a chance" to play Week 7 versus the Commanders, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    Since sustaining a left high-ankle sprain early in a Week 3 loss to the Bears, Lamb hasn't logged any practice activity and will wind up missing a third consecutive game Sunday. However, Lamb seemed to show some improvement over the past week, with the wideout appearing to amp up the intensity of his resistance training off to the side during the portions of practice that were open to the media. At this stage, Lamb is still looking like far from a lock to play next Sunday versus Washington, with one source describing the wideout as "50-50" for that contest, per Pelissero. Lamb will almost certainly need to return to practice during the upcoming week as at least a limited participant in order to put himself on a path to playing against the Commanders.

  • Ja'Marr Chase WR | CIN

    Bengals' Ja'Marr Chase: On track for Sunday

    Chase (illness) remains listed as questionable but is expected to play Sunday against the Packers, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Per Ben Baby of ESPN.com, Chase participated in a walk-through Friday before being sent home for the team's practice later that day and subsequently being listed as a non-participant. While Adam Schefter of ESPN also suggests that Chase is on track to play Sunday, fantasy managers will nonetheless want to verify the star wideout's status when the Bengals release their inactive list 90 minutes prior to the 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff. Assuming he's cleared to play, Chase will be working with a new quarterback in veteran Joe Flacco, who will displace Jake Browning as the team's starter.

  • 49ers' Ricky Pearsall: Could return in Week 7

    Pearsall (knee) remains out for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers but may be able to return to action Week 7 against Atlanta, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Pearsall will miss his second straight game Sunday due to a lingering knee injury. However, Schefter suggests that the second-year wideout may be closing in on a return to action. If Pearsall does manage to get back on the field in Week 7, it would be a big boost to a San Francisco air attack that is still without tight end George Kittle (hamstring) and quarterback Brock Purdy (toe), both of whom could also return in Week 7. Wideout Jauan Jennings (knee) joined Pearsall on the sideline for last Thursday's overtime win over the Rams, but Jennings is looking likely to play this Sunday, per Schefter.

  • 49ers' Jauan Jennings: Slated to suit up Sunday

    Jennings, who is questionable to play against Tampa Bay on Sunday due to an ankle injury, is expected to suit up, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Jennings missed last Thursday's overtime win over the Rams due to an ankle issue and began this week of practice as a non-participant before upgrading to limited sessions Thursday and Friday. The increased practice participation appears to be enough to allow Jennings to make his return to the field against the Buccaneers in Week 6, though official word on his status won't arrive until the 49ers unveil their inactive list 90 minutes prior to the game's 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff. If Jennings does indeed suit up, he should work as the team's top pass-catching option due to Ricky Pearsall (knee) already being ruled out and with tight end George Kittle (hamstring) still on injured reserve. Jennings would be working with quarterback Mac Jones (oblique/knee), who is expected to start, with Brock Purdy (toe) set to miss another contest. Schefter notes that Pearsall and Purdy could return in Week 7, so San Francisco's injury-ravaged air attack seems to be slowly getting healthier.

  • Zay Flowers WR | BAL

    Ravens' Zay Flowers: Likely to play Sunday

    Flowers, who is questionable for Sunday's matchup against the Rams due to a shoulder injury, is expected to suit up, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Flowers logged a trio of limited practices this week while managing a shoulder issue. Though he ended up taking a designation into the weekend, Flowers looks like he'll ultimately be able to suit up. However, for the second straight game, he'll be working with quarterback Cooper Rush, as Lamar Jackson (hamstring) has already been ruled out for Week 6. In addition, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network notes that Flowers will likely play less snaps than usual, rendering the wideout a less appealing fantasy option than he normally would be.

  • Chargers' Quentin Johnston: Trending down for Week 6

    Johnston (hamstring), who is questionable to play against Miami on Sunday, is trending toward missing the matchup, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

    As a result of the hamstring injury, Johnston was a limited participant Wednesday through Friday. Though the Chargers initially had more hope that Johnston would be able to take the field against the Dolphins, his status is very much in question, with Ian Rapoport of NFL Network noting that the receiver is considered a game-time decision but is likely to be held out if the team determines he has any "chance of re-injury." With that said, Johnston's official status may not be announced until the Chargers release their inactive list around 90 minutes before Sunday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff. Should Johnston indeed need to sit out Sunday's contest, Tre' Harris could be asked to step up as the Chargers' No. 3 wideout.
