Malik Nabers WR | NYG
Giants' Malik Nabers: Expected to play Sunday
Head coach John Harbaugh said Friday that Nabers (knee) will "be ready to play Sunday" at Washington, Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News reports.
A knee injury didn't allow Nabers to log any official practice reps Wednesday, but he was back in a limited fashion Thursday and also mixed into drills Friday. Harbaugh's comments indicate Nabers is good to go for Week 5 action, even if the wide receiver ends up going down as questionable on the Giants' final practice report of the week Friday.

Lamar Jackson QB | BAL
Ravens' Lamar Jackson: Officially ruled out for Week 5
Jackson (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday night's game against the Falcons, Cordell Woodland of 105.7 The Fan Baltimore reports.
After Jackson didn't practice all week, this comes as no surprise. Tyler Huntley is expected to get the start in Jackson's place after he handled first-team reps in practice this week. It's a green-light spot for the Falcons defense in fantasy.

Rhamondre Stevenson RB | NE
Patriots' Rhamondre Stevenson: Expects to play, Vrabel unsure
Stevenson (knee) said Friday that he's "ready to go", while Patriots coach Mike Vrabel said the running back "is not out as of yet" for Sunday's game against Las Vegas, according to Mark Daniels of MassLive.com.
Stevenson was a limited practice participant Wednesday and Thursday, and he also took part in Friday's session. It sounds like he may get a 'questionable' designation but isn't actually worried about missing Sunday's game. Should Stevenson's optimism prove misleading, TreVeyon Henderson would be in line for a large workload after splitting carries the past three weeks.

Mack Hollins WR | NE
Patriots' Mack Hollins: Ruled out for Sunday's game
Hollins (calf) is ruled out for Sunday's game against the Raiders.
With Hollins unavailable, Romeo Doubs looks like New England's clear No. 1 receiver. DeMario Douglas, Efton Chism and Kyle Williams could all have increased roles in Hollins' absence.

Jordan Addison WR | MIN
Vikings' Jordan Addison: Practices again Friday
Addison (hamstring) was at Friday's practice, Kevin Seifert of ESPN.com reports.
After practicing in a limited capacity Thursday, Addison was back on the field again Friday. That keeps him trending in the right direction ahead of Sunday's game, though his official practice level and game designation still will provide the clearest read on his availability.

Justin Jefferson WR | MIN
Vikings' Justin Jefferson: At practice Friday
Jefferson (ankle) and Jordan Addison (hamstring) were at practice Friday, Kevin Seifert of ESPN reports.
It's unclear if either wide receiver was a full participant, but this does suggest that both have a chance to play Sunday in New Orleans.

Kyle Monangai RB | CHI
Bears' Kyle Monangai: Ruled out for Week 5
Monangai (toe) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Packers, Patrick Finley of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
Monangai visited a toe specialist and is now in a walking boot. According to Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com, Monangai is considered week-to-week, though he's not a candidate for injured reserve, which would suggest the Bears expect the running back to return within the next four weeks. Roschon Johnson seems likely to take on an increased offensive role behind D'Andre Swift (hip/knee).

Terry McLaurin WR | WAS
Commanders' Terry McLaurin: Trending upward for Week 5
Head coach Dan Quinn said McLaurin (hamstring) looked good in his return to practice Friday, but his status remains in question for Sunday's game against the Giants, Zach Selby of the Commanders' official site reports.
After missing last Sunday's game and logging practice absences Wednesday and Thursday, McLaurin appears to have a chance to return for a divisional bout with New York. Washington will make an official injury designation for McLaurin later Friday. The Commanders could really use their No. 1 receiver after Stefon Diggs was ruled out for Week 5 with a hamstring injury of his own. Antonio Williams, Treylon Burks and Dyami Brown will all be in line for increased roles on offense Sunday.

Stefon Diggs WR | WAS
Commanders' Stefon Diggs: Won't play Sunday
Diggs (hamstring) won't play Sunday against the Giants, Tashan Reed reports after Commanders coach Dan Quinn provided injury updates Friday.
After missing practice time earlier in the week, Diggs has now been ruled out for Week 5. Terry McLaurin, on the other hand, is expected to play through a hamstring injury, though Quinn wasn't quite ready to guarantee it Friday afternoon. With Diggs definitely out, there will be extra WR snaps available for some combination of Antonio Williams, Treylon Burks and Dyami Brown.

Jayden Daniels QB | WAS
Commanders' Jayden Daniels: Will start Sunday
Head coach Dan Quinn confirmed Friday that Daniels (elbow) will start Sunday's game against the Giants.
Daniels was injured just before halftime in Week 2 against the Cowboys and will return following a two-game absence. With Marcus Mariota dealing with a sprained MCL, Daniels' return comes at the right time for the Commanders. His insertion back under center will boost the entire offense, though Terry McLaurin (hamstring) is questionable and Stefon Diggs (hamstring) has been ruled out, downgrading Daniels' supporting cast in a big way.
