Fantasy Impact: Higgins was a limited participant in practice this week and is officially listed as questionable. Higgins has logged 315 yards and two touchdowns on 20 receptions this season. The 23-year-old is ranked as the WR10 in ECR and should be in all fantasy lineups.
Mac Jones (ankle) is not expected to play in Week 5 against Detroit
Mac Jones, who was considered doubtful with an ankle injury, is not expected to play Sunday, according to Adam Schefter. (Source: Adam Schefter on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact: Jones suffered a high-ankle sprain towards the end of the Patriots’ Week 3 loss to Baltimore and is not quite ready to return in Week 5. After Brian Hoyer (head) was ruled out, Bailey Zappe was put into the starting role. With Jones not playing in Week 5 the Pats will once again turn to the rookie out of Western Kentucky to be their signal caller. Jones should have some chance to return in Week 6 considering he was almost ready to play Sunday.
Tony Pollard (illness) is expected to play in Week 5 against the Rams

Fantasy Impact: Pollard has had an up-and-down start to his 2022 campaign, which was to be expected as he remains in a timeshare with Ezekiel Elliott. The fourth-year running back out of Memphis should be good to go despite dealing with an illness for a large part of this week. Consider Pollard a risky low-end flex opion with potential upside thanks to his big play ability.
Hayden Hurst (groin) expected to play in Week 5

Fantasy Impact: Hurst was limited in practice early in the week before missing practice Friday. He is officially listed as questionable but will play Sunday night. Hurst currently ranks as the TE15 in ECR, according to FantasyPros.
