Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Cameron Brate gets a tough Week 6 date with the Packers. Green Bay has allowed the sixth-fewest fantasy points to opposing tight ends and has yet to allow a touchdown to the position. Brate was out-snapped by fellow tight end Rob Gronkowski, who has held him off in terms of playing time. However, Brate may be lessening the gap as

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Rob Gronkowski will face off with the Packers in Week 6. Green Bay has been a tricky matchup for opposing tight ends, as they’ve allowed the sixth-fewest fantasy points per game to the position. Gronkowski saw the same amount of targets as fellow tight end Cameron Brate in Week 5, but played 80 percent of the snaps compared to Brate’s

Denver Broncos tight end Noah Fant (ankle) was a limited practice participant all week and is listed as questionable for Week 6 against the Patriots. Head coach Vic Fangio said earlier in the week that Fant has a 50-50 shot to play on Sunday. Check back on Sunday morning, as Fant is shaping up to be a game-time decision. If the second-year tight end is

Denver Broncos rookie wide receiver K.J. Hamler (hamstring) did not practice all week and has been ruled out for Week 6 against the Patriots. Hamler wouldn’t have played last week either and hasn’t practiced since suffering the injury in the Week 4 win against the Jets. The 21-year-old rookie has the potential to be an explosive and dynamic slot receiver down the road for Denver,

Denver Broncos running back Phillip Lindsay (toe) practiced in full all week and will make his return in Week 6 against the Patriots after getting injured in the season-opener. Lindsay said he is 100 percent healthy, and he could be the lead back on Sunday with Melvin Gordon III battling an illness and also in danger of being suspended after being charged with a DUI

Denver Broncos running back Melvin Gordon III (illness) is listed as questionable for Week 6 against the Patriots. Gordon didn’t practice on Friday due to a non-COVID-19-related illness, but there’s also his DUI hanging over his head going into this weekend’s game. Even if he plays on Sunday, he’ll be facing a two- or three-game suspension from the league. He’s a big question mark for

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Leonard Fournette (ankle) will be a game-time decision for his team’s Week 6 contest against the Packers. Fournette was active last week despite not being able to practice, so one would expect him to suit up this week after being limited in practice for three straight sessions. Even if he does play, Fournette should be on benches against a Packers

There remains a chance that Denver Broncos quarterback Brett Rypien receives another start in Week 6 against the Patriots with Drew Lock (shoulder) questionable for Sunday’s contest. It’s looking more like Lock will make his return since suffering a right shoulder injury in Week 2, though. Rypien was up-and-down in the Week 4 win over the lowly Jets, going 19-for-31 for 242 yards, two touchdowns

Denver Broncos quarterback Drew Lock (shoulder) practiced in full all week but is still listed as questionable for Week 6 against the Patriots. We’d say Lock is on the right side of questionable after getting in full practices this week. The second-year QB has been out since he was injured in Week 2, but it’s looking like he’ll make his return this Sunday. That’s good

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Ronald Jones II gets a favorable matchup against the Packers in Week 6. Green Bay has allowed the second-most fantasy points to opposing backs, though their rating is a bit deceptive. The Packers have actually allowed the ninth-fewest rushing yards compared to the sixth-most receiving yards per game to opposing backs. Jones II has commanded an RB1-like workload in the

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo (ankle) is off the final injury report and is good to go for Week 6 against the division-rival Rams. Garoppolo missed several games with a high ankle sprain and aggravated the ankle in the Week 5 disappointing loss to the Dolphins, but he said his ankle feels great and he will get the start this Sunday. But he’ll have

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady will face the Packers and their high-octane offense in Week 6. Green Bay comes into the contest scoring a league-high 38 points per game while allowing 25.3 per game. In short, they’ve found themselves in a lot of shootouts, which bodes well for Tom Brady, who is coming off a Week 5 dud against the Bears. In addition, Brady

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receivers Mike Evans (ankle) and Chris Godwin (hamstring) were taken off the final injury report and will play in Week 6 against the Packers. Evans hasn’t been 100 percent for most of the year, but he hasn’t missed a game and has scored in each of his five games. However, aside from two 100-yard contests, his yardage totals have left a

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Davante Adams (hamstring) was taken off the final injury report and will play in Week 6 against the Buccaneers. The Packers played it safe with their top wideout, holding him out since Week 2 due to a hamstring strain. Green Bay and quarterback Aaron Rodgers barely missed a beat without him, so they’ll be even more dangerous against Tampa and

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Diontae Johnson (back) and veteran right guard David DeCastro (abdomen) have both been ruled out for Week 6 against the Browns. Rookie Chase Claypool, who broke out with four touchdowns last weekend, should once again have an increased role in the passing game with Johnson out. Rookie Kevin Dotson will start in place of DeCastro against Cleveland. Dotson also started in

The New England Patriots are placing center James Ferentz on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Friday, according to a source. The Patriots are still on schedule to face the Broncos in Week 6 on Sunday, but if the game winds up being played, quarterback Cam Newton will be taking snaps from someone else. It’s something to keep an eye on, but it shouldn’t deter fantasy managers

Indianapolis Colts tight end Mo Alie-Cox (knee) has been ruled out for Week 6 against the Bengals. Alie-Cox has been a surprise fantasy contributor early in the season, going for 11 catches, 194 yards and two touchdowns in five games, but he’s become more of a non-factor in Indy’s offense now that Trey Burton is back from Injured Reserve. The 27-year-old can likely be returned

Philadelphia Eagles wide receivers Alshon Jeffery (foot) and DeSean Jackson (hamstring) and offensive tackle Lane Johnson (ankle) have been ruled out for Week 6 against the Ravens. Jeffery has yet to play in 2020, but he’s been limited in practices the last couple weeks and could make his debut in Week 7. Jackson will miss his third straight game and has developed a reputation for

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones (hamstring) isn’t on the final injury report for the Week 6 game against the Vikings, meaning he’s likely to return to the field on Sunday after a one-game absence. The 31-year-old has aggravated the same hamstring injury multiple times this year, though, so hopefully it doesn’t become a problem yet again. Minnesota’s secondary is easily beatable and have allowed

The Carolina Panthers placed offensive lineman Tyler Larsen on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Friday and also sent defensive end Yetur Gross-Matos (ankle) to Injured Reserve with a high ankle sprain. Despite the positive test from Larsen, the team’s home game in Week 6 against the Bears remains on schedule. Gross-Matos suffered his injury in the Week 5 win over the Falcons and will be out
