  • Da'Shawn Hand DE | ATL

    Chargers' Da'Shawn Hand: Leaves game with groin injury

    Hand is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Commanders due to a groin injury.

    Hand went to the locker room in the first half after sustaining a groin injury on defense, and he will be evaluated by medical staff to determine whether he can return to Sunday's game. With Naquan Jones (coach's decision) inactive, Scott Matlock should see a significant increase in snaps at defensive end opposite Otito Ogbonnia for as long as Hand is out of the game.

  • Cody Simon LB | ARI

    Cardinals' Cody Simon: Questionable to return Sunday

    Simon (knee) is questionable to return to Sunday's contest against the Titans.

    Simon suffered an apparent knee injury in the first half of the contest, placing some doubt on his ability to return. His absence doesn't carry much of an impact defensively for Arizona.

  • De'Von Achane RB | MIA

    Dolphins' De'Von Achane: Records receiving TD in loss

    Achane rushed 10 times for 16 yards and brought in six of seven targets for 30 yards and a touchdown in the Dolphins' 27-24 loss to the Panthers on Sunday.

    Achane came into the interconference battle with elevated expectations, considering the struggles of the Panthers against the run and the fact Tyreek Hill's (IR, knee) absence was expected to open up even more pass-catching opportunities for the versatile back. The latter partly did come to fruition, as Achane recorded his third-highest reception and target tallies of the season and salvaged his fantasy day with an impressive 10-yard touchdown catch on the first play of the second quarter. However, the speedy back was surprisingly stymied on the ground, leading to a season-low rushing yardage total. Achane's chances of a rebound Week 6 are kind of bleak as well, considering he'll face off with a talented Chargers defense in South Florida.

  • Nico Collins WR | HOU

    Texans' Nico Collins: Finds end zone in blowout win

    Collins recorded four receptions on five targets for 52 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 44-10 win over the Ravens.

    It was a solid day for Collins, highlighted by long gains of 24 and 14 yards as well as a 10-yard touchdown. However, he finished third on the team in receiving yards and was out-targeted by Dalton Schultz. That was likely affected by game script -- C.J. Stroud attempted only 10 passes in the second half and was benched for most of the fourth quarter -- but Collins has now seen six or fewer targets and recorded under 55 receiving yards in three of five games this season. His three touchdowns have covered up some of that lack of volume, but Collins hasn't put up the big reception or target totals expected entering the season.

  • Kalif Raymond WR | CHI

    Lions' Kalif Raymond: Hurts neck in Week 5

    Raymond sustained a neck injury during Sunday's game in Cincinnati.

    Raymond was shaken up after a punt return in the second quarter and remained on the turf for a spell before walking off the field under his own power. If he's unable to get back on the field, he'll end Week 5 with no targets and the one punt return for 11 yards.

  • Raiders' Ashton Jeanty: Impressive with 19 touches

    Jeanty rushed 14 times for 67 yards and brought in five of seven targets for 42 yards in the Raiders' 40-6 loss to the Colts on Sunday.

    Jeanty ultimately saw his rushing workload somewhat curtailed due to the game getting completely away from the Raiders, but the talented back was impressive again with the opportunities he did see. Those touches helped net new single-game career highs in receptions, receiving yards and targets for the rookie first-round pick, who corroborated the value of keeping him involved in the game even when Las Vegas is on the wrong end of a lopsided score. Jeanty will remain a highly appealing option in all formats in an enticing Week 6 home matchup against the Titans next Sunday afternoon.

  • Derrick Henry RB | BAL

    Ravens' Derrick Henry: Struggles against Texans

    Henry rushed the ball 15 times for 33 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 44-10 loss to the Texans. He did not catch his only target.

    Henry predictably couldn't find much rushing room with Cooper Rush under center, with his longest gain of the day going for seven yards. He managed to avoid complete disaster by scoring a one-yard touchdown late in the third quarter, but he's now been held to 50 rushing yards or fewer in four of five games to begin the season. Henry's outlook in Week 6 will be highly dependent on Lamar Jackson's (hamstring) availability, but he has another tough matchup against the Rams.

  • Saquon Barkley RB | PHI

    Eagles' Saquon Barkley: Unusually low volume in loss

    Barkley rushed six times for 30 yards and brought in all three targets for 58 yards and a touchdown in the Eagles' 21-17 loss to the Broncos on Sunday.

    Barkley's extremely sparse rushing volume was especially alarming considering game script never dictated that the Eagles turn away from the run. The reigning Offensive Player of the Year only salvaged his fantasy day with an impressive 47-yard touchdown grab to cap off the opening possession of the second half, and his carry total was his first in single digits in a non-injury-shortened game since Week 15 of the 2023 season while he was still with the Giants. Barkley's receiving score was his first trip to the end zone in a pass-catching capacity this season, and an atypically rested Barkley should be set for much more work in a Week 6 road matchup against his old New York teammates on Thursday night.

  • Colts' Jonathan Taylor: Three more TDs in big win

    Taylor rushed 17 times for 66 yards and three touchdowns and brought in three of four targets for 20 yards in the Colts' 40-6 win over the Raiders on Sunday. He also recovered a fumble.

    Taylor encountered plenty of resistance from the Raiders defense on many of his runs, but he found enough running room to record scoring rushes of three, one and six yards, as well as a game-long 16-yard scamper. It was Taylor's second three-touchdown tally of the season, a two-game sample that accounts for all his end-zone trips to date. The sixth-year pro remains the component around which the Colts' prolific offense revolves, and Taylor should be very busy once again in a Week 6 home interconference clash with the Cardinals next Sunday.

  • Derick Hall LB | SEA

    Seahawks' Derick Hall: Ruled out with oblique injury

    Hall has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Buccaneers due to an oblique injury.

    Hall suffered the injury early in the first quarter, and the injury is severe enough for the medical staff to rule out the third-year linebacker for the rest of Sunday's game. With Hall done for the day and DeMarcus Lawrence (quadriceps) inactive, the Seahawks will lean on Boye Mafe, Uchenna Nwosu and Connor O'Toole at outside linebacker the rest of the way.
