  • Cardinals' Emari Demercado: Hurts ankle Sunday

    Demercado suffered an ankle injury during Sunday's game in Indianapolis.

    Demercado went to the locker room with a slight limp while favoring his left ankle in the second quarter. He's part of a backfield committee for the Cardinals along with Michael Carter and Bam Knight with James Conner (foot) and Trey Benson (knee) on injured reserve. Demercado had one carry for one yard and didn't haul in his only target prior to his exit.

    Broncos' Troy Franklin: Fumble erases low output Sunday

    Franklin brought in three of four targets for 19 yards and a lost fumble while taking one carry for two yards in Sunday's 13-11 win over the Jets.

    Franklin's day in London got off to a rubbish start when he coughed up the first fumble of his career on his first reception of the contest. The silver lining for fantasy managers was that the wideout remained involved offensively following the turnover, receiving three more touches in the narrow win. Franklin has shown flashes of upside early in his sophomore campaign, but Sunday's dud is an example of the inconsistency he can exhibit. The 22-year-old's value is likely limited to deeper formats in next Sunday's tilt against the Giants.

  • Blake Corum RB | LAR

    Rams' Blake Corum: Exits game with ankle injury

    Corum is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Ravens due to an ankle injury.

    Corum was taken to the locker room in the second quarter after sustaining the injury, though it's unclear when he got hurt. The second-year player had carried four times for 14 yards prior to exiting the contest. If Corum is ruled out for the remainder of the game, rookie fourth-round Jarquez Hunter would be next up for backup snaps behind starting running back Kyren Williams.

  • Puka Nacua WR | LAR

    Rams' Puka Nacua: Exits with foot injury Sunday

    Nacua exited Sunday's game at Baltimore due to a foot injury, Stu Jackson of the Rams' official site reports.

    Nacua appeared to have his left foot rolled up on as he attempted to break up a jump ball in the end zone in the second quarter. He then went to the locker room, after which the team announced that he was questionable to return. Nacua gathered in two of three targets for 28 yards before his departure.

  • Garrett Wilson WR | NYJ

    Jets' Garrett Wilson: Injures knee Sunday

    Wilson suffered a knee injury during Sunday's 13-11 loss to the Broncos, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

    Cimini notes that it was previously thought that Wilson was dealing with a hip issue, but the star pass catcher apparently sustained a knee injury Sunday, and is slated to undergo an MRI. Per Cimini, it doesn't appear to be an ACL injury for Wilson, but the wideout's status is nonetheless worth monitoring closely ahead of next weekend's game against the Panthers.

  • Michael Wilson WR | ARI

    Cardinals' Michael Wilson: Hurts finger Sunday

    Wilson exited Sunday's game against the Colts after sustaining a finger injury.

    Before that, Wilson caught his only target for five yards in the contest. In his absence, Marvin Harrison, Zay Jones, Greg Dortch and Simi Fehoko are on hand to handle the Cardinals' Week 6 WR duties.

  • Evan Engram TE | DEN

    Broncos' Evan Engram: Leading receiver on six targets

    Engram corralled five of six targets for 42 yards while adding one rushing attempt for seven yards in Sunday's 13-11 win over the Jets.

    Engram led Denver in targets, receptions and yardage in an odd victory that saw No. 1 WR Courtland Sutton finish with just one reception. The 30-year-old Engram also recorded his first rushing attempt of the season, something we haven't seen consistently from the tight end since his early years as a member of the New York Giants. Sunday's solid showing overseas comes on the heels of the veteran tight end's first touchdown of the year against the Eagles last week. Managers in need of help at the tight-end position should take a serious look at the ascending Engram in Week 7 when the Broncos host the aforementioned Giants next Sunday.

  • Broncos' Courtland Sutton: Struggles in tough matchup overseas

    Sutton was held to one reception on three targets for 17 yards in Sunday's 13-11 win over the Jets.

    Sutton traveled overseas to London for Sunday's international tilt, only to be greeted impolitely by Jets' CB Sauce Gardner once the game kicked off. The shutdown corner won his individual matchup against Sutton, holding Denver's No. 1 wideout to just one reception in the narrow victory. This was Sutton's second one-catch performance through six starts this season, which would be concerning if he hadn't posted WR1 numbers in his four other appearances. Sunday's dud can be written off as a bad matchup coupled with an unfavorable game script. Look for Sutton to get back to his productive ways against the Giants next Sunday.

  • Josh Reynolds WR | NYJ

    Jets' Josh Reynolds: Paces pass catchers in loss

    Reynolds secured all three targets for 25 yards in the Jets' 13-11 loss to the Broncos in London on Sunday.

    The veteran wideout accounted for more than half of Justin Fields' paltry 45 passing yards on the day while tying for the team lead in receptions and setting the pace in targets. Reynolds now has back-to-back three-catch efforts following a two-game absence due to a hamstring injury and a Week 4 blanking in his return, but until the Jets are able to put together a semblance of a consistent passing attack, his fantasy outlook will remain relatively bleak.

  • Travis Vokolek TE | ARI

    Cardinals' Travis Vokolek: Ruled out

    Vokolek (neck) will not return to Sunday's game.

    Vokolek was carted off the field after going down on a Colts kickoff. The 27-year-old is primarily a special teams player and has played just 32 offensive snaps through the first six weeks of the campaign.
