New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas (ankle) would face the Chargers if he takes the field for the first time since Week 1. Thomas has gotten in two limited practice sessions after being limited all of last week, so he appears to be following the same practice routine, which ultimately led to him sitting out Week 4. With a Week 6 bye right around

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas (ankle) and tight endJared Cook (groin) were both limited in Friday’s practice. Both players will have one more shot on Saturday to up their practice repetitions before the Saints release their final injury designations ahead of Monday night’s contest. At this point, it’s looking like both will be game-time decisions, which puts fantasy managers in a bit of

New Orleans Saints running back Latavius Murray is coming off his best game of the season heading into a Week 5 matchup with the Chargers. Murray ran for 64 yards and two scores against the Lions’ poor run defense, though he gets a much tougher test against Los Angeles, who allows the 10th-fewest fantasy points to enemy halfbacks. Murray is a decent option for those

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara faces a semi-tough matchup on Monday Night Football against the Chargers. Los Angeles ranks 10th in fantasy points allowed to running backs, but Kamara’s overall workload gives him a safe floor in any matchup. He comes into the contest as the NFL’s leader in scrimmage yards with 557, and total touchdowns with seven. Kamara is the undisputed RB1

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tyler Boyd has emerged as the undisputed No. 1 target for quarterback Joe Burrow in 2020. Despite the return of A.J. Green, who missed nearly two years of action, Boyd leads the team in receptions (28), targets (34), and yards (320). He has also logged at least seven catches in his previous three outings and should remain starting in all fantasy

New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees gets a good matchup against the Chargers in Week 5. Brees has quieted some of the take about his potential decline over the last two weeks, with 534 passing yards and five scores compared to just one interception. The veteran signal-caller will get to face a Los Angeles defense that was just shredded by Tom Brady for 369 passing

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver A.J. Green hasn’t been productive throughout the first four weeks of the 2020 campaign and will need a convincing performance against Baltimore in Week 5. Despite cracking the top-15 in targets at his position (33) this season, the veteran hasn’t impressed, racking up only 14 catches for a subpar 119 yards. The former Georgia Bulldog is capable of going off at

Cincinnati Bengals running back Giovani Bernard may be in line for an uptick in production against the Ravens. With Joe Mixon (shin) questionable, Bernard may serve as an adequate insurance policy on Sunday, especially if the former Sooner plays but isn’t at full-strength (or is out entirely). Although the 28-year-old hasn’t seen much action rushing the ball during the 2020 campaign, he has logged two

Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon (shin) is questionable for the Week 5 matchup against Baltimore. After logging a full practice on Wednesday, the former Sooner practiced in a limited capacity on Thursday and Friday. Although some reports suggest that he will be good to go on Sunday, fantasy managers should be prepared for life without him against Ravens, while also picking up Giovani Bernard

Philadelphia Eagles wide receivers DeSean Jackson (hamstring) and Alshon Jeffery (foot) have been ruled out for Week 5 against the Steelers. Cornerback Avonte Maddox (ankle) is also out. With rookie Jalen Reagor (thumb) and Dallas Goedert (ankle) on Injured Reserve, the Eagles are really hurting for pass-catchers. Greg Ward Jr. and rookie John Hightower figure to be the team’s top two wideouts this Sunday, making

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones (hamstring) is officially listed as questionable for Week 5 against the Panthers. Jones hasn’t practiced all week, however, making him more unlikely to play after aggravating his hamstring injury last Monday. Jones’ fantasy managers shouldn’t expect him to suit up this weekend, and if he does, there’s a good chance he’ll disappoint. Carolina has stood up well against opposing

Washington Football Team rookie defensive end Chase Young (groin) is questionable for Week 5 against the Rams after sitting out last week. Young was limited in practice on Thursday and returned to a full practice on Friday, so it’s looking like he’ll be able to return this weekend. It’s great news for a Washington defensive front that will have their hands full against an improved

With Carolina Panthers running back Reggie Bonnafon (ankle) going on Injured Reserve this week, head coach Matt Rhule said that running back Trenton Cannon will serve as Mike Davis‘ backup. All-Pro Christian McCaffrey (ankle) is also on IR, so Carolina’s running back depth is being tested. It’s worth noting, but Cannon is unlikely to receive any fantasy run as long as Davis remains healthy, with

Carolina Panthers left tackle Russell Okung (groin) will play in Week 5 against the Falcons after missing the last two games. Cornerback Eli Apple has been ruled out. The return of Okung is good news for quarterback Teddy Bridgewater, who had his best game of the season in Week 4, throwing for 276 yards and two touchdowns while adding six carries for 32 yards and

Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon (shin) has been declared questionable for Week 5 against the Ravens. Mixon put in limited practices each of the last two days, so barring something unforeseen, he should suit up on Sunday. He’s coming off an explosive 181-yard, three-touchdown performance that helped his fantasy managers coast to a victory last week, but he’ll be facing a very tough Ravens

San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said that quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo (ankle) will start in Week 5 against the Dolphins. Garoppolo will return to the fold after missing two games with a high ankle sprain. With running back Raheem Mostert also likely to be back, the signal-caller should have all of his weapons around him in a nice matchup with Miami. The Dolphins Defense

Cleveland Browns tight end David Njoku (knee) made it through the week of practice healthy and is expected to be activated from Injured Reserve for the Week 5 game against the Colts. Njoku has always been interesting from a fantasy perspective, but his ceiling isn’t very high with Austin Hooper also in the mix in Cleveland, although Njoku did catch all three of his targets

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Marquise Brown (knee) and tight end Mark Andrews (thigh) are listed as questionable for Week 5 against the Bengals. Offensive tackle Ronnie Stanley (hip, shoulder), defensive end Derek Wolfe (elbow), defensive tackle Justin Madubuike (knee) and cornerbacks Marcus Peters (thigh) and Jimmy Smith (knee) are also questionable. Brown has yet to find the end zone this year, but he does have

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (knee) is “100 percent” and will play on Sunday against the Bengals despite being listed as questionable on the final injury report, according to head coach John Harbaugh. Jackson missed practice on Wednesday with a minor knee injury and sat out on Thursday with an illness, but he wasn’t showing any limitations in practice on Friday and wasn’t wearing a

The Los Angeles Chargers placed running back Austin Ekeler (hamstring) on Injured Reserve on Friday and promoted Tyron Johnson to their active roster in a corresponding move. The team also signed former Dolphins and Jets running back Kalen Ballage to their practice squad. Ekeler could miss anywhere from four to six weeks, so placing him on the short-term IR isn’t a big surprise. Keep the
