Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Gardner Minshew II was forced to throw a lot against the Texans on Sunday, tossing the ball 49 times. He completed 31 of them for 301 yards and a pair of touchdowns. Minshew also added 18 yards on the ground on four carries. It was a solid performance for Minshew, who is a solid QB2 play most weeks as the Jaguars will

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Sammy Watkins (hamstring) suffered a hamstring injury in the second half of Sunday’s game against the Las Vegas Raiders. He will not return to the game. He caught both of his targets for 24 yards and a touchdown before the injury. With Watkins sidelined, Mecole Hardman and Demarcus Robinson should see an uptick in targets while Patrick Mahomes II continues

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver DJ Chark Jr. (ankle) suffered an ankle injury in Sunday’s game against the Houston Texans. He has left the game and is questionable to return. The Jaguars are trailing the Texans by multiple scores in the fourth quarter so it might be unlikely that we see Chark back in the game again. Chark had just three catches for 16 yards on

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Diontae Johnson (back) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday’s game against the Philadelphia Eagles. Johnson left the game in the first half with a back injury. He had just one catch on one target for negative two yards before leaving the game. Johnson did some work on the sidelines while attempting to return to the game, but the

The Miami Dolphins have had changes made to their schedule for three of their next six games. They were originally scheduled to play the Denver Broncos in Week 6. That game is now scheduled for Week 11. Instead, the Dolphins will now play the New York Jets in Week 6. Also, their game against the Los Angeles Chargers has been moved from Week 7 to

The Los Angeles Chargers have a number of changes to their schedule that will begin to take effect in Week 6. They were originally scheduled to play the New York Jets in Week 6, but that game has been moved to Week 11. The Chargers will now have a bye week in Week 6 and then they will play the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 7,

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas (ankle) has officially been ruled out for Monday night’s game against the Los Angeles Chargers. This will be the fourth-straight missed game for Thomas, who is still working his way back from a high ankle sprain suffered in Week 1. With Thomas out, wide receivers Tre’Quan Smith and Emmanuel Sanders will continue to see an uptick in targets

The New York Jets have had some changes to their schedule going forward following the cancelled games across the league in recent weeks. The Jets will play the Miami Dolphins in Week 6, a game that was previously scheduled for Week 10. Meanwhile, their Week 11 game will now be against the Los Angeles Chargers, who they were supposed to face in Week 6. Source:

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver A.J. Green (hamstring) left Sunday’s game against the Baltimore Ravens in the third quarter with a hamstring injury. He is doubtful to return. Green had no catches in the game on just one target before leaving the game. It’s been a rough year for Green, who has just 14 catches for 119 yards on 33 targets. He’s yet to score a

Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Tyler Eifert (neck) left Sunday’s game against the Houston Texans in the third quarter with a neck injury. His return is questionable. He had three catches for 16 yards on four targets before exiting the game. While he’s gone, the team’s backup tight end James O’Shaughnessy could see some additional targets. Source: Aaron Wilson

Washington Football Team quarterback Kyle Allen has been cleared to return for the second half after exiting after a hard hit in the first half. With Allen off the field, fans got the chance to see Alex Smith on the field for the first time in two years. Allen should be back in as the lead quarterback for the second half, though we’ll see how

San Francisco 49ers running back Raheem Mostert (knee) is officially a go for Sunday’s game against the Miami Dolphins. We’ll see what kind of usage Mostert gets, but he should be deployed as a flex play at best this week. His return also means that Jeff Wilson Jr. isn’t playable in most formats now, and that Jerick McKinnon is downgraded n this week’s projections. Source:

Miami Dolphins running back Jordan Howard is a surprise inactive for Sunday’s game against the 49ers. Howard’s role this year has mostly been down near the end zone, so maybe the Dolphins just want to make some more space on the active roster for versatile players? If Howard is indeed healthy, this doesn’t bode well at all for his future in Miami. Source: Miami Dolphins

Washington Football Team quarterback Kyle Allen took a hard hit to the head from Rams cornerback Jalen Ramsey, sending him off the field and putting veteran Alex Smith in at quarterback. It’s unclear if Allen will return to the game, but Smith — whose NFL career looked in jeopardy in 2018 after a devastating leg injury — is going to get at least a brief

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Diontae Johnson (back) is questionable to return to Sunday’s game against the Philadelphia Eagles. With Johnson off the field, rookie Chase Claypool has been the biggest beneficiary, scoring the team’s first two touchdowns. Johnson’s a strong WR3 play when healthy, but we’ll need to monitor this situation to see if what happens moving forward. Source: Adam Schefter

Kansas City Chiefs offensive lineman Kelechi Osemele was carted off the field in the first quarter of Sunday’s game against the Las Vegas Raiders with what appeared to be a non-contact knee injury. If Osemele misses time, the Chiefs line will take a step backwards, though the skill and talent on this offense is too great for this to change the future outlook for players

Anything can happen, but even after a positive COVID test for a coach on Sunday, the NFL is optimistic that the Titans/Bills game for Tuesday will go on as scheduled. That would be huge for the Titans and the league, as a second missed game would lead to some serious scheduling issues moving forward. Source: Adam Schefter

NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero says that while the NFL is leaving open the option to push the postseason back and add a Week 18 to help with the scheduling due to COVID postponements, the plan for now remains moving bye weeks around to fit games in the first 17 weeks. Late-season postponements could lead the league to create an extra week, but for now that

Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon (shin) will play on Sunday against the Baltimore Ravens. Questionable all week, Mixon practiced on Friday and was expected to play, so no surprises here. Despite some inconsistency this season, season-long managers have to start Mixon as a low-end RB1 and hope that he gets more involved as a pass-catcher. Meanwhile, wide receiver John Ross is a healthy scratch

Los Angeles Rams running back Cam Akers (ribs) is back in Week 5, as the Rams face the Washington Football Team. There’s a lot of pieces in this backfield and Akers will need to earn snaps over Darrell Henderson Jr. and Malcolm Brown, so Akers isn’t a great fantasy option in his return and rates as a deep league flex option for now. He still
