Sunday Morning Edition
My
Week 5 Injury Takes
Ty
Montgomery (ribs) Doubtful - Montgomery is sitting today, so it's
likely a timeshare in Green Bay with running back Aaron Jones expected to be
the lead back; Jones is a week 5 fade.
Derek
Carr (back) Questionable - the Raiders quarterback has been
petitioning to play, but despite his effort it's unlikely you will see him on
the field; sit Carr today.
Melvin
Gordon (knee) - the Chargers running back was removed from the team's injury report
and is ready to go for week 5; Gordon is facing the Giants today is my No.9
fantasy RB.
Amari
Cooper (knee) -
the Raiders receivers has been removed from the team's injury report. With a
likely changes at quarterback today, Cooper is considered a low-end WR2.
Michael
Crabtree (chest) - Crab wasn't listed on the team final injury report. This will
be good news for EJ Manuel and company, but with the tough matchup against the
Ravens today Crab is my No.29 fantasy WR.
CJ
Prosise (ankle) ruled OUT - the Seahawks running back is OUT for
this week. With Prosise shelved, running back JD McKissic is expected to fill
the pass-catching role and be heavily involved in the pass game.
Carlos
Hyde (hip) -
the Niners running back wasn't listed on the Week 5 injury report, so he'll be
ready to go today against the Colts. Hyde is an RB1, coming in at No.8 on my
Week 5 rankings.
Davante
Adams (concussion) Questionable - Adams has cleared the concussion
protocol, so he's expected to suit up today; Adams is outside my Top-30 and
considered a risky flex play today.
JJ
Nelson (knee) Questionable - the Cardinal's receiver was limited in
practice all week, but is expected to play. Less than 100 percent, Nelson has
not been affective since week 2, he's a risky flier this week against the
Eagles.
John
Brown (quad) Questionable - Brown has been limited all week, but is
expected to play today against the Eagles. Like Nelson, Brown is a risky flier
this week, but with more upside.
Benjamin
Watson (calf) Questionable - Watson was able to practice in full on
Friday, so he should be good to go today. He's my No.17 fantasy tight end this
week on the road against the Raiders.
Jeremy
Maclin (hand) Questionable - the Ravens wide receiver practiced in
full all week, so he's good to go today. With a struggling Ravens offense,
Maclin is a risky receiving option this week.
Jay
Ajayi (knee) -
the Dolphins running back wasn't listed on the team's final injury report.
Ajayi is good to go today and should be ready for a full workload; he's my No.5
fantasy RB this week.
Paul
Perkins (ribs) ruled OUT - with Perkins sidelined this week running
back Wayne Gallman will likely take the reins in a good against the Chargers.
Ameer
Abdullah (ankle) - the Lions running back has been removed from the team's Week
5 injury report. It's a tough week 5 matchup for Abdullah, but he's been
carrying the Lionshare this season; he's locked in at No.13 on my rankings.
Kenny
Golladay (hamstring) ruled OUT - the rookie receiver will miss another
week nursing his hamstring injury. Golladay is off the fantasy radar for now.
Tyrell
Williams (neck) Questionable - the Chargers 2nd leading receiver on
the team will play Sunday. That's good news for Rivers and company, Williams
will be considered a low-end WR2.
Kelvin
Benjamin (knee) - the Panthers wide receiver is not listed on the team's
finaly injury report. Benjamin is ready to go for week 5 against the Lions;
he's a low-end WR2 today.
Marcus
Mariota (hamstring) Questionable - the Titans quarterback is not expected
to play today. Back up Matt Cassel is expected to start; Cassel is not a
fantasy option this week.
Jack
Doyle (concussion) ruled OUT - the Colts tight end will be sidelined
today. His absence should benefit TY Hilton and afford him a few more looks on
Sunday.
Martavis
Bryant (illness) Questionable - the Steelers explosive receiver is
expected to play today. Fantasy owners are still waiting patiently for Bryant
and Big Ben to breakout, but today's matchup with the Jags does not favor any
coming out party; Bryant is my No.26 fantasy WR this week.
That’s My Take for Week 5.
