Injuries to Monitor

  • CeeDee Lamb † (Thigh): Full participant Wednesday, per Patrik Walker of the Cowboys’ official site, and again Thursday. He is trending toward playing Sunday night in Green Bay.
  • Zay Flowers † (Toe): Limited at Thursday’s practice. Lamar Jackson (ankle) was a non-participant Wednesday and Thursday, though Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports he has a “real chance” to play. Tyler Huntley started in Week 5.
  • Jalen Coker † (Quadriceps): Full participant Thursday, per Darin Gantt of the Panthers’ official site, after missing Carolina’s last game before the Week 5 bye.
  • Mike Evans † (Ribs, Achilles): Did not practice Thursday, per Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News, after playing through the rib injury in each of the last two games. Deebo Samuel Sr. is out and Christian Kirk is on IR, so Evans would lead a thin receiver room if active. Ranked lower on the missed practice.
  • Chris Olave † (Illness): Did not practice Wednesday, per Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football, or Thursday, per Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio. Ranked lower on two days without practice.
  • Keenan Allen †: Full participant in practice Thursday. Monitor Friday practice reports.
  • DeVonta Smith † (Hamstring): Returned to practice on a limited basis Thursday after not practicing Wednesday, and head coach Nick Sirianni said Monday he is “hopeful” Smith will be cleared, per Zach Berman of The Athletic. Jalen Hurts has been ruled out, and Tanner McKee is lined up to start.
  • Denzel Boston † (Foot): Remained limited at Thursday’s practice.
  • Rashee Rice † (Hamstring, knee): Did not practice Wednesday or Thursday, per Matt Derrick of ChiefsDigest.com. Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reported after the Week 4 exit that the injury is “relatively minor.” Ranked lower on two days without practice.
  • Josh Downs † (Hamstring): Upgraded to full participation Thursday.
  • Terry McLaurin † (Hamstring): Limited Thursday after returning in Week 5.
  • Stefon Diggs † (Hamstring): Did not practice Thursday as Washington opened Week 6 prep, per Zach Selby of the Commanders’ official site, after missing Week 5. Ranked in the back half because a second straight absence is the likeliest outcome.
  • Ladd McConkey † (Foot): Returned to practice on a limited basis Wednesday and practiced again Thursday after being active but not playing a snap in Week 5. Ranked lower until he logs a full game.
  • DJ Moore † (Shoulder): Did not practice Wednesday or Thursday with an AC joint sprain after being inactive Monday night against the Rams. Adam Schefter of ESPN reported the injury is not considered long-term, and Friday is his last practice opportunity. Ranked in the back half.
  • Dontayvion Wicks † (Hamstring): Did not practice Thursday after being limited Wednesday, per Zach Berman of The Athletic.
  • Rashod Bateman † (Shoulder): Did not practice Thursday after being limited Wednesday.
  • Joshua Palmer † (Shoulder): Limited Wednesday and Thursday after missing Monday’s game.
  • Quentin Johnston † (Chest): Limited Wednesday and Thursday after missing Week 5. Tre’ Harris is week-to-week with a hamstring injury.
  • Treylon Burks †: Monitor Friday practice reports.
  • KC Concepcion Jr. † (Concussion): Limited Wednesday and Thursday while in the concussion protocol following a hit in Week 5.
  • Darnell Mooney † (Neck): Full participant in practice Thursday.
  • Darius Slayton † (Knee): Full participant in practice Thursday.
  • Jalen Nailor † (Concussion): Returned to practice on a limited basis Thursday after not practicing Wednesday. He must clear the concussion protocol after missing Week 5.
  • Ashton Dulin † (Hamstring): Did not practice Wednesday or Thursday after missing Week 5. Ranked in the back half.
  • Hollywood Brown † (Ankle): Limited Wednesday and Thursday after missing Week 5.
  • Marquez Valdes-Scantling † (Ribs): Full participant in practice Thursday.

DraftKings DFS Value Plays

Davante Adams ($6,600) — Rams vs. Cardinals

Game environment: Rams -12.5, O/U 51.5 (32.5 team total)

Last week: 22.1 DK points vs. BUF

2025 PPG: 15.9 DK fantasy points (14 games)

Projected DraftKings points: 22.1

Adams is the cheapest path into the slate’s highest team total. The Rams are implied for 32.5 points, two points clear of any other team, and Arizona ranks 28th against wide receivers on blended data. Puka Nacua costs $1,500 more, while Adams has cleared 22 points in three of five games as the clear No. 2 target. The 12.5-point spread is the one risk, since a lopsided score could trim fourth-quarter volume, but the red-zone role carries the floor.

DK Metcalf ($5,700) — Steelers @ Buccaneers

Game environment: Steelers -2.5, O/U 39.5 (20.5 team total)

Last week: 5.3 DK points vs. IND

2025 PPG: 12.5 DK fantasy points (15 games)

Projected DraftKings points: 13.9

Metcalf is the only established receiver left in Pittsburgh. Roman Wilson and Ben Skowronek have both been ruled out and Michael Pittman Jr. is on IR, which leaves Germie Bernard, Kaden Wetjen and Brandon Smith behind him. He has been on the field for 95% of the snaps, and the target share should concentrate further. The low game total holds the projection down, but the salary prices in last week’s 5.3-point dud rather than the volume he is set to inherit.

Tre Tucker ($4,700) — Raiders vs. Bills

Game environment: Raiders +4.5, O/U 53.5 (23.5 team total)

Last week: 7.5 DK points @ NE

2025 PPG: 9.5 DK fantasy points (17 games)

Projected DraftKings points: 11.9

Tucker draws the softest wide receiver matchup on the board. Buffalo ranks 32nd against the position on blended data, and the 53.5 total is tied for the highest on the slate. He has played every game in 2026 and averaged 11.0 DK points, with a 25.9-point ceiling game in Week 2. Jack Bech and Dont’e Thornton Jr. are on IR and Jalen Nailor is still in the concussion protocol, which keeps Tucker’s role secure behind Brock Bowers.
