Fantasy Football Injury News
Check out the latest news and notes around the NFL.
Tank Dell (concussion) now questionable for Week 6
Tank Dell (concussion) is now listed as questionable to play in Week 6 against the Saints.
Fantasy Impact
Reports came out early on Friday that Dell was ruled out because of his concussion, but now, the team has him listed as questionable on their official injury report. He was able to return to practice on Friday, which means that he could possibly get cleared to play before game time. If he’s out, fantasy managers can expect Robert Woods (ribs) and John Metchie III to see more work in the rookie’s absence against the Saints.

Robert Woods (ribs) questionable for Week 6
Robert Woods (ribs) is considered questionable to play in Week 6 against the New Orleans Saints.
Fantasy Impact
The Texans’ injury report for Sunday has Woods listed as questionable to play thanks to an injury to his ribs. He was able to log a full practice session on Friday, however, so it seems likely that he’ll be able to play through the injury on Sunday. In the off-chance that he’s out, Nico Collins and John Metchie III will both see more targets against the Saints.

Marquise Brown (illness) questionable to play Week 6
Marquise Brown (illness) is questionable to play in Week 6 against the Los Angeles Rams.
Fantasy Impact
Brown came down with an illness early in the week and was limited at practice on Thursday and Friday because of it. He officially carries a questionable tag for Sunday’s game, but he seems likely to play against the Rams, given that he’s had multiple days to recover since he came down with it early in the week. He should play and will be a solid flex option in a divisional matchup against the Rams.

Jeff Wilson Jr. listed as doubtful to make debut in Week 6
Miami Dolphins RB Jeff Wilson Jr. (ribs/finger) is doubtful to return off of the PUP list to the field in Week 6 against the Carolina Panthers.
Fantasy Impact
Wilson, who had his 21-day practice window opened up, isn’t quite ready to return to the field yet and will likely be out in Week 6. For all fantasy managers who have taken a flier on him, he may be good to go in Week 7. This opens up the door even further for a potential smash week from Dolphins RB Raheem Mostert, and Wilson could join him on the field later while rookie RB De’Von Achane remains on IR.
