Complete list of Week 6 players in question for Sunday fantasy football

A lot of big names are considered game-time decisions this week. Here’s a look at the full injury report ahead of Sunday’s NFL games.

This week is lousy with game-time decisions, the worst three words any fantasy footballer can hear late in the week. Among the players whose status will be up in the air until the last minute this week are: Marquise Brown, David Johnson, Tyreek Hill, Christian Kirk, and Kenny Stills. You’ll have to monitor each of those players right up until Sunday morning.

The biggest name on the injury list this week, however, is Alvin Kamara. Sure, his stats haven’t been as good as they can be with Teddy Bridgewater in the lineup instead of Drew Brees, but he’s still getting at least 20 touches a game for the Saints. He was a late addition to the injury report this week, and did not practice at all on Friday. That’s not a good sign.

Since we’re talking about running backs, Todd Gurley is unlikely to play this week when the Rams host the 49ers. That thrusts Malcolm Brown into the spotlight as his primary replacement.

Tyreek Hill hasn’t played since breaking his clavicle in the first week of the season, but he’s got a chance to be in the lineup this week when the Chiefs host the Texans in what could be the week’s highest-scoring game. He’s been practicing this week, and we’re just waiting to see if he’s cleared for contact.

Two of the more productive tight ends—George Kittle and Mark Andrews—are both listed as questionable. However, both men are expected to play this week.
