NFL Fantasy Football: Week 6 injury report

We are supplying information on the latest and most important injuries across the NFL and letting you know how it could affect your fantasy football team.

Quarterbacks

Bears QB Jay Cutler is listed as doubtful.

The Spin: He’s not playing and it’s possible he never does again for Chicago.

Panthers QB Cam Newton is listed as questionable.

The Spin: Newton missed last week’s game with a concussion but is likely to play this week after getting in a full practice on Friday.

Running Backs

Lions RB Theo Riddick is listed as out.

The Spin: With Riddick out, running back duties will probably be split between Dwayne Washington and Justin Forsett. Washington will be a game-time decision. The situation is probably best to avoid.

Lions RB Dwayne Washington is listed as questionable

The Spin: He did manage to get in a limited practice but is a game-time decision. If he’s out, newly signed RB Justin Forsett could be a workhorse.

Dolphins RB Arian Foster is listed as questionable.

The Spin: Foster will be a game-time decision but he should be left on benches even if he’s active.

Panthers RB Jonathan Stewart is listed as questionable.

The Spin: Stewart got in a full practice on Friday and should be ready to return to take the field for the first time since Week 2.

Patriots RB LeGarrette Blount is listed as questionable.

The Spin: Just like all the other Patriots, Blount is questionable. Out of all the players on the Patriots injury report, he’s the most likely not to play. With that said, he should be good to go for Sunday.

Giants RB Rashad Jennings is listed as questionable.

The Spin: Jennings is likely to play this week but playing against the Ravens defense at less than 100%, there are better options out there.

Raiders RB Latavius Murray is listed as out.

The Spin: With Murray out, DeAndre Washington and Jalen Richard will once again split RB duties. Neither are great options for Week 6.

Packers RB Eddie Lacy is listed as questionable.

The Spin: Lacy is dealing with an ankle injury and will be a game-time decision. Even if he is active, it’s hard to feel good about Lacy. He hasn’t scored a touchdown all season and has just three receptions. His name is bigger than his game when it comes to fantasy football.

Wide Receivers

Bears WR Eddie Royal is listed as questionable.

The Spin: Royal played through a nagging calf injury last week and he should do the same this week. However, it’s no guarantee and owners need to keep an eye on the inactive list.

Bears WR Alshon Jeffery is listed as questionable.

The Spin: He’s listed as questionable every week. He’s playing.

Lions WR Anquan Boldin is listed as questionable.

The Spin: He practiced in full on Friday. He’s playing and he could see a few more targets with TE Eric Ebron and RB Theo Riddick out.

Steelers WR Markus Wheaton is listed as out.

The Spin: Wheaton will miss the game with a shoulder injury.

Steelers WR Sammie Coates is listed as questionable.

The Spin: Coates is dealing with a cut on his hand but should be active. If he is, he’s too good to bench in a juicy matchup against the Dolphins secondary.

Patriots WR Julian Edelman is listed as questionable.

The Spin: I’m pretty sure the Patriots listed Bill Belichick and the team’s water boys as questionable for the game. Edelman is playing.

Panthers WR Kelvin Benjamin is listed as questionable.

The Spin: Although he’s listed as questionable, there’s no real reason to believe he’s going to miss the game.

Ravens WR Steve Smith Sr. is listed as doubtful.

The Spin: He won’t be playing in this game after suffering an ankle injury in the first quarter of last week’s game.

Ravens WR Mike Wallace is listed as questionable.

The Spin: He was a full participant in practice on Friday so he should be good to go for Sunday. With Steve Smith out, he should see some extra targets.

Cowboys WR Dez Bryant is listed as questionable.

The Spin: Bryant will be a true game-time decision. However, the Cowboys have their bye week after this game so it wouldn’t be a surprise if the Cowboys played it safe and held him out. Owners need to be setting their lineups with the mindset Bryant won’t be available.

Texans WR Will Fuller is listed as questionable.

The Spin: There’s no real reason to believe he’s going to miss this game.

Tight Ends

Bills TE Charles Clay is listed as questionable.

The Spin: He’ll probably be questionable on every injury report for the rest of the season. However, he should be good to go for Sunday. He has five receptions in back to back games so he has some sneaky streaming value.

Bears TE Zach Miller is listed as questionable.

The Spin: He’s playing and if you own him, you’re starting him.

Lions TE Eric Ebron Detroit Lions is listed as out.

The Spin: He’s not playing and is droppable in 10-team leagues if you need to find a new TE.

Bengals TE Tyler Eifert is listed as out.

The Spin: Once again, Eifert will not be playing.

Patriots TE Rob Gronkowski is listed as questionable.

The Spin: He’s playing.

Patriots TE Martellus Bennett is listed as questionable.

The Spin: Maybe we should start ignoring players on the Patriots injury report. He’s playing.

Browns TE Gary Barnidge is listed as questionable.

The Spin: There’s no reason to believe Barnidge will miss the game.

Redskins TE Jordan Reed is listed as questionable.

The Spin: Reed is highly unlikely to play due to a concussion. With his long history of concussions, owners need to prepare to be without Reed for multiple weeks.

Raiders TE Clive Walford is questionable.

The Spin: He should be ready to return after missing last week’s game. Even so, there are better options out there.

DFS Nuggets

Lions RB Theo Riddick is already listed as out. If Dwayne Washington is inactive, Justin Forsett will have to be a workhorse. We would be likely to see around 18 touches and at his dirt cheap price, he could easily return value. If Washington is active then forget everything you just read.

Here’s something that should sound familiar: The Colts secondary is dealing with injuries. Cornerbacks Patrick Robinson and Darius Butler are both listed as questionable. WR Will Fuller (if active) has a lot of upside.

Lions will be without passing-catching RB Theo Riddick and starting TE Eric Ebron. With these two out, there should be extra targets to go around. Anquan Boldin has averaged 4.5 catches and over 6 targets in the last four games. He could return value at his very reasonable price especially if he finds the end zone. That’s something he’s accomplished twice in the last four games.

Next: Week 6 DraftKings and FanDuel advice

Speaking of Lions WRs, Marvin Jones Jr. gets an extra boost with the Rams best CB, Trumaine Johnson, out with a high ankle sprain.

Keep an eye on Sammie Coates. Wide Receiver Markus Wheaton is already out so if Coates is inactive, WR Eli Rogers could be a sneaky play.

CB Joe Haden is listed as questionable but appears likely to sit this one out. If you’re looking for another reason to play Marcus Mariota (last week’s No.1 FF QB), here it is.
