Jacksonville Jaguars running back Travis Etienne Jr. (hamstring) is questionable to return against the Chicago Bears in Week 6. It's unclear exactly when Etienne picked up the injury, but he hasn't registered an opportunity since dropping a pass early in the second quarter. Between injuries and poor play, Etienne has been an enormous disappointment in fantasy football lately, averaging just 60 scrimmage yards and zero touchdowns between Weeks 4 and 5. Now, if he doesn't return on Sunday, he'll finish Week 6 with three rushes for a loss of one yard on the ground, plus zero catches on one target. Tank Bigsby has suddenly become more dependable than Etienne in fantasy football, and that may hold true even if the latter gets a clean bill of health heading into next Sunday's clash with the Patriots in London.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Christian Watson (ankle) is officially active in Week 6 on Sunday against the visiting Arizona Cardinals at Lambeau Field. Watson suffered a left high-ankle sprain in Week 4 and missed the Week 5 win over the Los Angeles Rams, but he'll surprisingly end up missing just one game with an injury that was expected to sideline him multiple contests. It's good news for the Packers, but fantasy managers may want to be wary of relying on him in starting lineups, especially with Romeo Doubs also returning from a one-game suspension. Watson does have a touchdown this year, but he's also caught only five passes on eight targets for 80 yards in the four games he's played. The crowded nature of Green Bay's receiving corps makes all of their pass-catchers boom/bust WR4/flex plays outside of Jayden Reed.

Baltimore Ravens cornerback Marlon Humphrey (ankle) and offensive tackle Ronnie Stanley (toe) are active for Sunday's game against the Washington Commanders. Both players were listed as questionable but were trending in the right direction this weekend. Humphrey's presence is key as the Ravens look to slow down Washington's offense. The 28-year-old has 22 tackles and two interceptions through five games this year. Meanwhile, Stanley gives a massive boost to Baltimore's offense, especially Lamar Jackson and Derrick Henry. He has played all but two offensive snaps this season, remaining a key playmaker in the trenches.

Indianapolis Colts QB Joe Flacco will be the starting quarterback for the Colts in Week 6, according to sources.

Fantasy Spin: The Colts want to give Anthony Richardson another week to rest, so Flacco will be under center again. He has played well in relief over the last two games but should only be a starting option in two-quarterback leagues.

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson (oblique) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Tennessee Titans. He had been listed as questionable and was actually expected to play this week, but at the last minute, the Colts have made him inactive and will start Joe Flacco instead. It's worth noting that Richardson will be the Colts' emergency third quarterback on Sunday, so he could still enter the game if both Flacco and Sam Ehlinger become too injured to play. Nevertheless, the second-year quarterback should be moved to the bench in all fantasy leagues.

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Joe Flacco will make his second consecutive start in Week 6, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero. Anthony Richardson (oblique) was expected to start this week, but at the last minute, Indianapolis made him inactive as their emergency third quarterback. In the end, the starting job will belong to Flacco for one more week. Through two games so far, he has 49 completions, 527 passing yards, five touchdowns, and zero interceptions. He's less mobile than Richardson but possesses more firepower through the air, so the fact that he's starting Sunday is good news for Michael Pittman Jr., Josh Downs, and Alec Pierce in fantasy football.

Arizona Cardinals kicker Matt Prater (knee) is officially inactive for Week 6 against the Green Bay Packers on Sunday at Lambeau Field. Prater came into this one unlikely to play despite putting in limited practices this week, but now it's official that he won't kick for the Cards. Arizona added Chad Ryland to the active 53-man roster on Saturday, and he will serve as the team's kicker against the Packers. Prater's next chance to suit up for the Cardinals will come during a Week 7 Monday night matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers. Ryland, 24, will make his second straight start for the Cardinals after Prater also missed the Week 6 win over the division-rival San Francisco 49ers. Ryland made three of his four field-goal tries last week and was successful on his only extra-point attempt. At best, he'll be a deep-league streaming option against Green Bay.

New Orleans Saints running back Kendre Miller (hamstring) was activated from Injured Reserve but will not be active on Sunday for the Week 6 divisional affair against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, according to a source. It's good news that Miller is off IR after missing the first five weeks of the season, but his next chance to make his 2024 debut will come next Thursday to kick off Week 7 action against the Denver Broncos. The 22-year-old former TCU star has been a huge disappointment early in his career with the Saints due to injuries. In 2023, he played in just eight games and had 41 carries for 156 yards and a touchdown while adding 10 receptions for 117 yards through the air. The Saints will ease him into the backfield when he eventually makes his season debut as depth behind Alvin Kamara and Jamaal Williams. Miller belongs on the waiver wire in most fantasy formats.

Houston Texans running back Joe Mixon (ankle) is officially active for Week 6 against the New England Patriots. He had been listed as questionable but was trending in the right direction heading into the weekend. Mixon will make his first appearance since Week 2 against the Chicago Bears when he suffered his ankle injury while being taken down on a hip-drop tackle. He should handle a near-full workload this week against the Patriots, who have a solid run defense but could allow the Texans to settle into a comfortable positive game script. Mixon ranks as a mid-range RB2 for fantasy football in his first game back.

The Buffalo Bills, New York Jets and New Orleans Saints are still reportedly interested in trading for Las Vegas Raiders WR Davante Adams and a trade could happen as soon as this week. However, the two main obstacles to completing a deal appear to be Adams' contract and potential compensation that the Raiders would receive; the Raiders are not interested in paying any portion of his contract if he is dealt.

Fantasy Spin: Adams is currently sidelined due to a hamstring injury and could be playing in a different uniform the next time he returns to the field. For Las Vegas, TE Brock Bowers is the only must-start receiving option in fantasy leagues, although WR Tre Tucker could be used as a flex option in deeper leagues.

From TheHuddle

Baltimore Ravens running back Rasheen Ali (neck) has been activated from injured reserve and will play on Sunday against the Washington Commanders. He is slated to make his NFL debut in Week 6 as a depth option behind Derrick Henry and Justice Hill. Ali is a fifth-round pick out of Marshall who tallied 1,348 scrimmage yards and 16 touchdowns in his final collegiate season last year. He remains off the fantasy radar at the moment but could have some fantasy intrigue if Henry or Hill ever gets injured.

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. (back) is expected to be active ahead of the Week 6 matchup against the Tennessee Titans. This is an odd turn of events after Pittman was a candidate for the injured reserve earlier in the week. Now, Pittman might suit up and play after being able to practice on Friday. It's unclear what kind of condition Pittman is in physically heading into this game. Fantasy managers should be cautious and rank Pittman as more of a low-end WR3 for Sunday's game. It's uncertain if he'll be limited at all and quarterback Anthony Richardson hasn't exactly had great chemistry with Pittman early in the season.

From RotoBaller

Houston Texans wide receiver Xavier Hutchinson could see more usage in the offense going forward. Hutchinson will move up the depth chart with Nico Collins (hamstring) landing on the injured reserve. That means, Hutchinson will now be the third options behind Stefon Diggs and Tank Dell in the passing game. Last week, Hutchinson finished with two receptions on three targets for 31 yards in the win over the Buffalo Bills. He doesn't offer great upside, but could be a low-end streaming option in deep leagues. He's worth stashing in most formats, but it's hard to imagine him having a huge role behind Diggs and Dell.

From RotoBaller

Green Bay Packers running back Emanuel Wilson has been quiet over the last few weeks. Wilson has been held to under 30 rushing yards in each of his last two games. The good news is that Wilson has seen six of more carries in each of the last three games. He continues to be the primary backup to Josh Jacobs and that figures to remain the same for the Week 6 matchup against the Arizona Cardinals. Wilson hasn't done much to warrant starting in most fantasy formats, but is someone worth stashing as he'll be the next man up if Jacobs ever goes down.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers NT Vita Vea was fined $14,069 by the National Football League for committing unsportsmanlike conduct and making a violent gesture in Week 5's game. Vea did a sniper celebration following a first-quarter play versus the Atlanta Falcons.
