Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeSean Jackson (hamstring) returned to practice on Wednesday and will likely be listed as questionable for Week 5 against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Jackson will be way too risky to start in most formats even if he gets the go-ahead from the Eagles medical team. The Eagles passing game has been struggling in general this season, and this week they get a

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones (hamstring) was not at practice on Wednesday after aggravating his hamstring injury in the Monday night loss to the Packers. Jones came down awkwardly during a tackle in Week 4 and didn’t return to the game after halftime. On a short week, the 31-year-old All-Pro wideout will be fighting an uphill battle to play against the division-rival Panthers. Jones

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Alshon Jeffery (foot) is questionable for Week 5 against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Jeffery was questionable for Week 4 as well before ultimately being held out, but he seems to have a better chance to suit up this week. With the Eagles desperate for any warm bodies that can catch footballs, Jeffery could have a role immediately upon returning to the field.

Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Eric Ebron is coming off his best game of the season, which saw him catch five catches for 52 yards and a score against the Houston Texans in Week 3. He will look to keep rolling in Week 5 when he takes on the Philadelphia Eagles at home. The Eagles have struggled to defend tight ends this season, allowing the third-most

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Diontae Johnson has cleared the league’s concussion protocol and will play against the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 5. Johnson was knocked out of his team’s Week 3 win over the Houston Texans and finished without a catch. He will slot back in as the team’s lead wide receiver in a decent matchup against Philadelphia. The Eagles rank 16th in DVOA against

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster will face off against the Philadelphia Eagles at home in Week 5 after a surprise bye last week. Smith-Schuster has been relying on touchdowns for his fantasy scoring thus far, scoring three times on just 17 receptions. He draws a plus matchup against the Eagles this weekend as Philly’s pass defense ranks 16th in DVOA and is allowing the

Philadelphia Eagles rookie wide receiver John Hightower doesn’t make for an exciting Week 5 fantasy option. Despite a lack of bodies in the Eagles wide receiving room, Hightower only came up with two catches last week. While he may be slightly more involved this week, the Eagles face a tough Steelers pass rush in a game that could get ugly pretty quickly. Hightower is worth

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Greg Ward is only a fantasy option in very deep leagues for Week 5. The Eagles are facing off against the Pittsburgh Steelers, who wreak havoc on opposing quarterbacks. Carson Wentz has been struggling regardless of his opponents, so this one could get ugly pretty quickly. Ward should be heavily targeted, giving him some kind of PPR floor at least, but

Philadelphia Eagles running back Boston Scott is not a fantasy option in a Week 5 game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Scott only touched the ball twice on offense in the win against the San Francisco 49ers, and likely won’t be that much more involved in Week 5 either. Scott is playing far behind starter Miles Sanders and won’t have much fantasy value as long as

Philadelphia Eagles running back Miles Sanders has a tough matchup in a Week 5 game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Sanders firstly has to deal with a struggling Eagles offense all around him, but then he’s also staring at a very strong running defense going against him. Sanders is usually involved in the passing game, so even if the Eagles get behind early, Sanders should still

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz was just a tiny bit better in Week 4 but still hasn’t shown enough to be a viable starting option in standard leagues for Week 5 lineups. The Steelers Defense has held 15 of the last 16 opposing quarterbacks to fewer than 7.6 yards per attempt, making Wentz’s floor perhaps the lowest it has been all season, with no ceiling

Pittsburgh Steelers running back James Conner has found the end zone in two straight games. Conner will take on the Philadelphia Eagles at home in Week 5 after enjoying his bye in Week 4. The veteran running back has put a Week 1 ankle injury behind him to post two consecutive 100-yard games while dominating the running back touches in the Pittsburgh backfield. The Eagles

The New York Jets will use quarterback Joe Flacco as the starter in Week 5 against the Cardinals, according to a sources. Sam Darnold (shoulder) suffered an AC joint sprain in his throwing shoulder in the Week 4 loss to the Broncos and has been ruled out. It’s unclear if Darnold will be ready to go in Week 6. Flacco was active for the first

The Washington Football Team has benched quarterback Dwayne Haskins Jr. in favor of Kyle Allen for Week 5 against the Rams, and veteran Alex Smith will now serve as Allen’s backup. Haskins will be inactive this weekend. It will be the first time that Smith has been active in an NFL game since 2018 before he suffered a gruesome leg injury that almost cost him

The Washington Football Team is making a change under center heading into Week 5 against the Rams. Quarterback Kyle Allen will get the start, while Dwayne Haskins Jr. will head to the bench. Not only has Haskins been demoted, but he’ll be the third-string QB behind Alex Smith. The former first-rounder has completed 89 of 149 passing attempts for 939 yards, four touchdowns and three

Veteran defensive tackle Damon “Snacks” Harrison is signing with the Seattle Seahawks practice squad on Wednesday, according to a source. Harrison can plug holes up with the best of them in the middle of the defensive line. He won’t be in play in IDP leagues if he winds up playing significant snaps for Seattle, as he has just 11 sacks in nine years in the

The Tennessee Titans reopening of their team facilities remains on hold after another player tested positive for COVID-19 from Tuesday’s round of testing, according to a source. It means that they will not be able to return to practice together on Wednesday, and their Week 5 game against the Bills is now in question. They’ll need two consecutive days of negatives tests before the league

New England Patriots cornerback Stephon Gilmore was the only player on the team to test positive for COVID-19 from Tuesday’s round of testing, according to a source. The reigning Defensive Player of the Year joins quarterback Cam Newton on the COVID-19 list, and Gilmore isn’t expected to practice on Wednesday. At this point, it’s highly unlikely that Gilmore will be cleared to play in Week

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger will face the Philadelphia Eagles at home in Week 5 after coming off a surprise bye in Week 4. The bye, which was forced by positive COVID-19 tests from several members of the Tennessee Titans, came at an opportune time for the Steelers as wide receiver Diontae Johnson was unlikely to clear the league’s concussion protocol in time. Johnson is

The Cleveland Browns Defense has been opportunistic through the first four games of the season. Led by a dominant Myles Garrett, Cleveland has forced 10 turnovers and has six sacks through four games. They will face the Indianapolis Colts at home in Week 5 in a game that could be a low-scoring affair. The Colts have been pretty conservative on offense so far, which could
