Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott will face the Cleveland Browns in Week 6. The 29-year-old has had a slow start to the season after putting up career numbers last season. Through four games he has just four field goals converted and has done little for fantasy managers. With that said, this week's matchup against a struggling Cleveland Browns defense sets the veteran up for a bounce-back performance. The Browns are tied for the ninth-most fantasy points allowed per game to opposing kickers and the Eagles offense has regained their top two pass catchers in A.J. Brown (hamstring) and DeVonta Smith (concussion). While these additions may take some field goal opportunities off the board if they find the end zone, the Eagles should be in scoring range often. Consider Elliott a back-end K1 option in Week 6.

Los Angeles Chargers kicker Cameron Dicker is set for another solid performance in a Week 6 game against the Denver Broncos. Dicker missed practice on Wednesday due to an illness but was able to practice in full on Thursday and won't even carry an injury designation into the game. He's only missed one field goal and one extra point attempt this season so far, making the best of the limited opportunities he's been given by the Chargers offense. The Chargers-Broncos showdown could be a defensive battle throughout, with field goals more likely drive enders than touchdowns. Dicker is a top-15 option with a high floor, although kicker can be the least predictable position in fantasy football.

Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said that wide receiver Romeo Doubs will play in Week 6 against the Arizona Cardinals. Doubs decided to skip several practices last week because he's been unhappy with his role in the offense this year, which led to the Packers suspending him for the Week 5 win over the Los Angeles Rams due to conduct detrimental to the team. After meeting with team brass earlier this week, the 24-year-old has cleared things up with the coaching staff and will return this Sunday. If Christian Watson (ankle) missed a second straight game, Doubs could see a nice share of the targets alongside Jayden Reed and Dontayvion Wicks in a good matchup, but he should still be considered more of a boom/bust WR4/flex option in fantasy. The former fourth-rounder in 2022 out of Nevada has yet to find the end zone in 2024 and has caught 12 of his 20 targets for 169 yards through four games.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles said that running back Rachaad White (foot) will be a game-time decision for the Week 6 clash against the division-rival New Orleans Saints on Sunday. If White is unable to gain clearance on Sunday, rookie Bucky Irving will have clear RB2 upside on the road in New Orleans as Tampa's primary back. The good news for fantasy managers hoping to use White this week is that they'll know early on Sunday whether he's good to go. The 25-year-old former third-rounder in 2022 out of Arizona State has averaged a mediocre 3.7 yards per carry through five games in 2024 and has been outperformed by the more explosive Irving so far. Even if White is active this weekend, it wouldn't be a surprise to see him take a back seat to Irving, making him more of a low-upside RB3/flex against a Saints defense that has been above-average this season.

Denver Broncos wide receiver Josh Reynolds (finger) had minor finger surgery and is expected to miss at least one game and likely a few more as he works to potentially return in late October, according to a league source. Reynolds will not suit up this Sunday as the team takes on the division-rival Los Angeles Chargers in Denver. The 29-year-old was already heading towards being inactive this weekend after not practicing at all this week. With just three receptions on six targets for 45 yards and a touchdown in the last three games, Reynolds wasn't really on the fantasy radar in most leagues to begin with heading into the divisional showdown versus the Bolts. With Reynolds sidelined now, look for Lil'Jordan Humphrey, Marvin Mims Jr. and rookie Troy Franklin to have more chances for targets behind WR1 Courtland Sutton. We wouldn't recommend any of Humphrey, Mims or Franklin as streaming options against a tough LA defense.

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert will face off with the Cleveland Browns in Week 6. The 29-year-old was the top target for Philadelphia before the team's bye last week, but the return of A.J. Brown (hamstring) and DeVonta Smith (concussion) will relegate him back to the No. 3 spot in the target pecking order. On top of this, the veteran will face a Cleveland Browns defense that allows the sixth-fewest fantasy points per game to the position through five weeks. With the state of the tight end position in fantasy this season, Goedert remains a top 12 option even with a tough matchup, but fantasy managers that have been happy with his recent production should temper expectations heading into the weekend.

Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said that tight end Tucker Kraft (groin), who was added to the Week 6 injury report on Thursday with a groin issue, "should be good to go" for Sunday's contest against the Arizona Cardinals. Apparently Kraft's injury isn't serious enough to keep him from playing this weekend in a good matchup at Lambeau Field. And with fellow tight end Luke Musgrave (ankle) expected to land on Injured Reserve, Kraft's target share at the position in Green Bay should only increase moving forward. The downside is that both receivers Romeo Doubs (suspension) and Christian Watson (ankle) could return in Week 6, which would inevitably take some valuable targets away. The 23-year-old Kraft was a popular waiver-wire pickup this week after going for four catches, 88 yards and two touchdowns in last week's win over the Rams. Kraft is in play as a TE1 this weekend.

Cincinnati Bengals tight end Mike Gesicki (hamstring) has been cleared to play in the Week 6 contest against the New York Giants on Sunday Night Football in Week 6. Gesicki's status for this weekend's game was in question after he didn't suit up for practice on Wednesday, but he returned a day later and was removed from the final injury report on Friday. He will officially be in play on Sunday night as a TE2 for fantasy managers in an offense with a lot of mouths to feed through the air. So far through the first five weeks of 2024, the 29-year-old has a total of 17 catches on 21 targets for 178 yards and no touchdowns. Gesicki posted season-highs in catches (seven) and receiving yards (91) back in the Week 2 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, but that was also when receiver Tee Higgins was still out with a hamstring injury. The Giants defense has yet to allow a touchdown to a tight end this year.

Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley will face off against the Cleveland Browns in Week 6. The 27-year-old will no longer have to carry this offense with the return of A.J. Brown (hamstring) and DeVonta Smith (concussion) and should be open for bigger plays with fewer defensive players stacked inside the box. Barkley compiled four straight games of 100 all-purpose yards before the Eagles' bye last week and will look to extend that streak this week against the Browns. Cleveland is ranked 19th in fantasy points per game allowed to running backs but has given up at least one touchdown to the position in all games this year except against the Las Vegas duo of Zamir White and Alexander Mattison. The former New York Giant seems like a lock to find the end zone this week and should be considered a top-three option despite what looks like a below-average matchup on paper.

New York Giants running back Devin Singletary (groin) is officially listed as questionable to play in the Week 6 game on Sunday night against the Cincinnati Bengals. Singletary missed the Week 5 win over the Seattle Seahawks and is looking like a game-time decision this weekend, which is bad news for fantasy managers hoping to use him in their starting lineups. If the 27-year-old is ultimately ruled out for the second straight week, fantasy managers would have to pivot without many options to choose from. Rookie Tyrone Tracy Jr. filled in admirably last Sunday with Singletary out, going for 130 scrimmage yards on 19 total touches. With the G-Men's game on Sunday night, Singletary is shaping up as a RB to avoid, while Tracy would be a plug-and-play RB3/flex option if Singletary is eventually ruled out. Check back on Saturday to see which way Singletary is trending.

Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson (hamstring) was a full participant during Friday's practice. That is great news after Robinson popped up on the injury report on Thursday due to a hamstring issue. It appears to have been a minor issue as Robinson has already been cleared for the Week 6 matchup against the Carolina Panthers. Fantasy managers should feel comfortable with Robinson as a RB1 ahead of this game. The Panthers have struggled to slow down the run and Robinson has rushed for over 60 yards in three of his first five games this season.

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts will take on the Cleveland Browns in Week 6. The 26-year-old has struggled as a passer since the absence of A.J. Brown (hamstring), but the Eagles star receiver is set to make his return to the field this week for the first time since Week 1. DeVonta Smith (concussion) has also cleared the concussion protocol and star tackle Lane Johnson is off the injury report as well. The Eagles offense is back to full strength and ready to take on a 1-4 Cleveland Browns team that has struggled mightily over the past three weeks. On paper, the Browns are not the greatest fantasy matchup for quarterbacks. They allow the eighth-fewest fantasy points per game to the position but have played a struggling Trevor Lawrence, Daniel Jones, and Gardner Minshew II. Hurts, with his full complement of weapons, has a chance for a great fantasy performance and should be a fringe top-five fantasy option in Week 6 despite recent struggles.

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith (concussion) has been cleared to play ahead of the Week 6 matchup against the Cleveland Browns. Smith has been practicing this week and officially cleared concussion protocol on Friday. That means, Smith will make his return to the field for the first time since Week 3. He has been a significant part of the offense with 21 receptions for 239 yards and one touchdown in three games. He figures to once again remain a focal point on offense which should put him in the high-end WR2 territory.

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown (hamstring) is ready to make his return to the field in Week 6 as the Eagles host the Browns on Sunday. The 27-year-old suffered a hamstring injury after the season's first game and has been sidelined since. With the early bye week, there was optimism that Brown had enough time to rest and return this weekend, and the Eagles made that official on Friday. DeVonta Smith (concussion) will also be good to go after clearing the concussion protocol this week, giving Philadelphia and quarterback Jalen Hurts their top two receiving options back. Cleveland is giving up nearly 30 fantasy points per game to the wide receiver position through five weeks and has been a mess the last three weeks. Fantasy managers can treat Brown as a top-five option in his return to the field this weekend.

Cleveland Browns tight end David Njoku (knee) will suit up for Sunday's Week 6 matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles. Njoku returned to action last week, but he couldn't make it through the whole game. He finished with one reception on three targets for 14 yards before exiting. Njoku missed time in the beginning of the season due to an ankle injury. Now, Njoku appears to be healthy and ready to get back on the field. There is no word of him being limited, so fantasy managers should expect Njoku to be a full-go for Sunday. He should be considered a low-end TE1 for Week 6.

Tennessee Titans quarterback Will Levis will make the start under center during the upcoming Week 6 matchup against the Indianapolis Colts. Levis has been dealing with a shoulder injury that forced him to exit early in Week 4. He appears to be good to go after the Titans bye in Week 5. Levis has struggled with six interceptions and three fumbles through four games this season. It appears the organization is sticking with him despite his early struggles. He'll get a favorable matchup against the Colts defense, but Levis still isn't anything more than a low-end QB2.

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Khalil Shakir (ankle) didn't suit up for Friday's practice, which is now the third straight day that he has sat out. Shakir is in danger of missing his second straight game, but still has a chance to practice on Saturday. Head coach Sean McDermott recently said that Shakir is day-to-day, so fantasy managers shouldn't be too worried about it. If Shakir sits, Keon Coleman would move into the No. 1 wideout role. The rookie wideout finished with one reception on five targets for 49 yards and a touchdown last week without Shakir. He figures to once again have a bigger role if Shakir is unable to play.

From RotoBaller

Buffalo Bills running back James Cook (foot, toe) was unable to suit up for Friday's practice session. Cook hasn't been able to practice all week, which puts him on the wrong side of questionable ahead of the Week 6 matchup against the New York Jets. It's worth noting that the Bills do play on Monday, so Cook will get another chance to practice on Saturday. If he sits, Ty Johnson and Ray Davis would likely split up the workload in the backfield. Neither of them have done much of anything on the field this season. Davis has rushed 26 times for 75 yards, which is 2.9 yards per carry. Fantasy managers should consider Davis a shaky RB3 if Cook sits out.

Dynasty | 49ers running back Jordan Mason had 73 rushing yards, one catch, and nine receiving yards before leaving Thursday night's game with a shoulder injury. Dynasty Analysis: Mason was on his way to a big night before leaving with the ailment. It's said to be a sprained AC joint but further tests will diagnose the severity. Mason has been phenomenal in place of Christian McCaffrey, but this injury could keep him out for a bit. With McCaffrey "ramping up" his football activities and Isaac Guerendo looking sharp, the run for Mason as a temporary RB1 may be coming to its end. He's a great hold in dynasty leagues but the "sell to a contender" window may have shut.

Dynasty | 49ers running back Isaac Guerendo had 99 rushing yards in a win against Seattle Thursday night. Dynasty Analysis: Much of Guerendo's damage came on a 76-yard gain that put the game away, but dynasty owners won't complain too much. The Shanahan system is historically the best for running backs and Guerendo's one cut and go style looks to fit in nicely. With Jordan Mason dealing with a shoulder injury and Christian McCaffrey still out, Guerendo could be next in line to start in nine days. He needs to be on rosters everywhere and likely should have been already.
