New York Giants running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. (shoulder) was listed as a limited practice participant on Monday's injury report. Tracy Jr. dislocated his shoulder in Week 3 and has missed each of the Giants' last two games, but he was reportedly making good progress ahead of Week 5. Tracy Jr. could be available on Thursday night, when the Giants take on the Philadelphia Eagles in the opening game of Week 6. Rookie running back Cam Skattebo has taken over as New York's lead running back in Tracy Jr.'s absence, recording 194 yards from scrimmage on 48 total touches over the last two weeks. Once Tracy Jr. returns, the two backs should be expected to split touches, but Skattebo may remain the team's lead rusher.

Dynasty | Patriots running back Antonio Gibson will miss the rest of the season with a torn ACL. Dynasty Analysis: It's a tough break for Gibson, who was quickly carving out a role in what was a terrific committee in reality and terrible one in fantasy as Rhamondre Stevenson and TreVeyon Henderson are still in the mix. Gibson's injury is going to make him a really tough hold in dynasty leagues, despite him being productive when healthy. In essence, he's a bit of a roster clogger.

Minnesota Vikings QB J.J. McCarthy (ankle) is expected to be at least a limited participant during practice next week, according to head coach Kevin O'Connell.

Dynasty | Cowboys wide receiver Ryan Flournoy had six catches for 114 yards in a win against the Jets. Dynasty Analysis: Wait. What? Flournoy surpassed 100 yards in the first half alone this week and cruised to a career high on the day. He tied Jake Ferguson for the team lead in targets with nine and looked like a player who has progressed quite nicely over the past year or two. With CeeDee Lamb and Kevontae Turpin both out with injuries, you could say he took advantage of his opportunity. We'll need to see a lot more from him moving forward in order to recommend him but he could move up to the WR3 spot in Dallas behind Lamb and George Pickens if he continues to play well. At this point, he simply looks like a solid waiver wire pickup and roster stash.

Dynasty | Panthers running back Rico Dowdle had 206 rushing yards, three catches, 28 receiving yards and a touchdown in a win against Miami. Dynasty Analysis: Dowdle was solid for Dallas last year but they moved on from him this off-season, forcing him to sign a deal with the Panthers to back up Chuba Hubbard. With Hubbard out with an injury this week, Dowdle took over the backfield and simply annihilated Miami. Had it not been for some late game cramps, he would have set the all-time record for rushing yards in franchise history (210 is the record set by DeAngelo Williams). This performance is likely going to create a bit of a timeshare moving forward when Hubbard returns which could prove to be great for the Panthers but awful in fantasy football. Regardless, Dowdle will be a must-start next week in a #revenge game against Dallas should Hubbard sit out again.

Dynasty | Bucs rookie wide receiver Emeka Egbuka had seven catches for 163 yards and a touchdown in a win against Seattle. Dynasty Analysis: It just gets better every week with Egubka, who is now up to 25 catches for 445 yards and five scores on the year. It's been a fascinating start for the former Ohio State star, who clearly looks like a star already, not just a star in the making. All the talk this off-season was about Ashton Jeanty being the unquestioned top rookie and the debate between Tetairoa McMillan and Travis Hunter being the top receiver. In the end, Egbuka looks like the single best rookie in the draft at this point. If you benefitted from him falling to you, congratulations.

Dynasty | Seahawks tight end AJ Barner had seven catches for 53 yards and two touchdowns in a loss to Tampa Bay. Dynasty Analysis: Barner has made Elijah Arroyo irrelevant so far this season and now has four touchdowns on the year. It's been a quick rise for Barner who is clearly looking like a player who is going to garner lineup consideration moving forward. The buying window likely closed with this performance as Barner really does look like a legitimate weapon in fantasy football with Seattle's offense playing this well.

Dynasty | Cardinals running back Michael Carter had 51 rushing yards, five catches, 22 receiving yards, and one touchdown in a loss to the Titans. Dynasty Analysis: Carter had said earlier in the week that he was going to be the starter taking over for Trey Benson (who had subsequently taken over for James Conner) and that proved to be the case as he had 18 of the 25 carries by running backs and five of the six catches as well. Emari Demercado had the play of the game in just about every way as he busted a 71-yard run but spoiled it by dropping the ball before crossing the goal line. Carter should keep the job moving forward and could make for a solid short-term starter or rental for contending dynasty teams.

Tennessee Titans running back Tyjae Spears made his return in Week 5 from a high ankle that kept him out for the first four games of the season. Spears saw limited usage in his first game back, playing 17 total snaps and recording four carries for 14 yards against the Arizona Cardinals. However, Titans head coach Brian Callahan said Spears' role will increase in future weeks, per Jim Wyatt of TennesseeTitans.com. The 24-year-old recorded 536 yards from scrimmage and five touchdowns on 114 total touches across 12 games last season. Spears and Titans back Tony Pollard will split backfield work to some degree once Spears is fully healthy and re-integrated into the offense. For now, Spears should be rostered by fantasy managers, but likely cannot be trusted as a starter in Week 6 against the Las Vegas Raiders.

New York Giants rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart (hamstring) was listed as a limited practice participant on the team's Monday injury report. The Giants play on Thursday night in Week 6 against the Philadelphia Eagles, so Monday's injury report is an estimation of practice status. Dart has thrown for 313 yards, three touchdowns, and two interceptions across his first two starts in the NFL over the last two weeks. If he were unable to suit up in Week 6, veteran quarterback Russell Wilson would likely take over under center for the Giants. Wilson started New York's first three games of the season, throwing for 786 yards, three touchdowns, and three interceptions. Either quarterback is tough for fantasy managers to trust in a short week against a difficult opponent in the Eagles.

Buffalo Bills LB Matt Milano (pectoral) is considered week-to-week because of a pectoral injury.

Detroit Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams continues to play a marginal role in his team's offense. In Week 5 against the Cincinnati Bengals, Williams recorded just one catch on one target for nine yards. The 24-year-old simply has not been much of a factor in Detroit this season, as he's logged 11 catches for 223 yards and one touchdown through five games on 21 targets. Williams remains a big-play threat, leading the NFL by averaging 20.3 yards per reception. His playing time is also stable, as he's played at least 82% of the Lions' offensive snaps in all five games. Still, his low target volume and downfield usage make Williams a boom/bust flex option at best. Heading into a Week 6 matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs, fantasy managers should likely be searching for ways to keep Williams out of their starting lineup.

Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown recorded eight catches for 100 yards on nine targets in his team's 37-24 Week 5 win over the Cincinnati Bengals. St. Brown was held out of the end zone in Week 5 for the first time since Week 1, but he's now recorded at least seven receptions and 70 receiving yards in four straight games. All told, the 25-year-old has recorded 35 catches for 407 yards and six touchdowns on 41 targets through his first five games of 2025. St. Brown will have a more challenging matchup in Week 6, as the Lions will travel to Kansas City to face the Chiefs. Still, he's a must-start fantasy wide receiver, regardless of matchup.

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Xavier Worthy (ankle, shoulder) is officially active, as expected, for the Monday night game against the Jacksonville Jaguars to close out Week 5 action, according to Matt McMullen of Chiefs.com. Worthy dislocated his right shoulder on the first offensive drive of 2025 in Week 1 and then missed Weeks 2 and 3. The speedy 22-year-old returned in last week's win over the Baltimore Ravens, but he was added to Saturday's injury report due to swelling in his ankle. The issue isn't serious for Worthy, though, and he'll be available as one of the team's top offensive weapons against the 3-1 Jags. Worthy caught five of his eight targets for 83 yards in Week 4 and added two carries for 38 yards while playing 59% of the snaps. He could be even more involved on Monday night in his second game back from his shoulder injury.

Tennessee Titans head coach Brian Callahan said that the team has to "keep finding ways to use" wide receiver Calvin Ridley's skill set, according to Jim Wyatt of TennesseeTitans.com. "He played well for us down the stretch on Sunday, and we're going to need that to continue ... We protected well, too, which helped," Callahan added. After a quiet start to the season through four weeks that saw Ridley go over 50 yards just once in a single game with no touchdowns, he broke out in Sunday's upset win over the Arizona Cardinals for a 5-131-0 line on a season-high 10 targets. The 30-year-old still hasn't scored in 2025, but his Week 5 performance was a breath of fresh air for his fantasy managers. Hopefully, his down-the-field chemistry with rookie quarterback Cameron Ward continues to improve, but even if it does, there are going to be more frustrating outings. He'll have a good matchup to keep things going in a Week 6 contest against the one-win Las Vegas Raiders.

Dynasty | Commanders running back Jacory Croskey-Merritt had 111 rushing yards, two catches, 39 receiving yards and two touchdowns in a win against the Chargers. Dynasty Analysis: It wasn't all rainbows and unicorns for "Bill," who also lost a fumble in the game. Still, this was the performance dynasty managers had been waiting for as he dominated the backfield and took control of what had been a frustrating committee. If this is the start of things to come, his ADP and rookie ranking are both going to make a serious uptick. It seems any chance to buy may have passed this week.

Dynasty | Bengals quarterback Jake Browning completed 26-of-40 passes for 251 yards with three touchdowns and three interceptions in a loss to the Lions. Dynasty Analysis: At first glance, that line really isn't awful. However, the Bengals were down 28-3 with Browning having thrown all three of his interceptions before he had his first scoring strike in a game that had been pretty much decided. Browning now has six touchdowns and eight interceptions on the season and hasn't provided any kind of spark as the Bengals have lost their last three games by a combined score of 113-37. In short, this is a team that needs to either make a change quickly or risk their entire season evaporating before Halloween. Browning himself has lost any dynasty value he once had.

Dynasty | Bengals running back Chase Brown had 27 rushing yards, seven catches and 21 receiving yards in a loss to Detroit. Dynasty Analysis: Brown, one of dynasty fantasy football's most coveted running backs in the preseason, now has a total of 160 rushing yards (2.5 yards per carry), 18 catches, 95 receiving yards and one total touchdown on the season. Ouch. At this point, he's completely unplayable as the Bengals look like a team punting on their season. His dynasty value is cratering by the week and the problem dynasty managers have is the fact he's essentially lost virtually all his trade value.

From Dynasty League Fantasy

Dynasty | Patriots running back TreVeyon Henderson had 24 rushing yards, two catches, and three receiving yards in a win against Buffalo. Dynasty Analysis: It's one thing to be ineffective as a high profile rookie but another one to simply not get the chances to even be successful. Henderson has just 32 carries and 15 catches through five games while watching Rhamondre Stevenson lose fumbles seemingly every week. With Antonio Gibson now out for the season with a torn ACL, perhaps this is the time we see something change within the offense. However, Henderson is completely off the radar at the moment as a player who just isn't getting chances. We'd say "buy low," but there just haven't been indications this is the floor, either.

Dynasty | Patriots wide receiver Stefon Diggs had ten catches for 146 yards in a win over the Bills. Dynasty Analysis: #revenge. Diggs posted his second straight 100-yard effort and now has 29 catches for 359 yards on the season. His 29 catches are tied for tenth in the league and his yardage total is good for 12th. While the lack of touchdowns is concerning, it seems he's now fully recovered from his ACL tear and may very well be back in the every week discussion in terms of lineup consideration. While no longer the WR1 lock he once was, Diggs is one more big week away from being a "set and forget it" option yet again. He looks like a possible low-cost target for contending dynasty teams moving forward.
