Fantasy Football Injury News
Check out the latest news and notes around the NFL.
Javonte Williams (quad) good to go for Week 6
Javonte Williams (quad) is off the injury report and is good to go for Week 6 against the Kansas City Chiefs.
Fantasy Impact
The Broncos opted to let Williams miss Week 5’s game as he recovered from a quad injury, but he has logged two-straight full practices and is off of the injury report for Thursday night’s game. He will be good to go and will presumably split work with Jaleel McLaughlin and Samaje Perine in his return game in Week 6.

Chris Olave (toe) limited at practice Wednesday
Chris Olave was limited at New Orleans’ practice on Wednesday because of a toe injury.
Fantasy Impact
Olave is a new addition to the injury report, being listed with a toe injury of some kind that left him limited. He presumably picked up the injury during Sunday’s blowout win over the Patriots, and we don’t yet know much about it or how severe it is. This is a situation worth monitoring for fantasy managers as the week progresses.

Tee Higgins (rib) limited at practice Wednesday
Tee Higgins (rib) was limited at Cincinnati’s practice on Wednesday.
Fantasy Impact
A rib injury left Higgins sidelined for Week 5, but now he’s back at practice in a limited fashion. There hasn’t been much of an update on how he’s feeling, but this is a good sign and could mean that he’s trending towards playing this week. Fantasy managers should continue to keep tabs on his practice participation for the rest of the week to see if he’ll be ready to go for Sunday’s game against the Seattle Seahawks.

Mike Evans (hamstring) doesn’t practice Wednesday
Mike Evans (hamstring) was a non-participant at Tampa Bay’s practice on Wednesday.
Fantasy Impact
Evans suffered a hamstring injury during Tampa Bay’s Week 4 win over the Saints and missed practice on Wednesday because of it. It’s unclear where his status is for Week 6, but it’s less than ideal that he’s still not practicing, even after the team’s bye in Week 5. He’ll have a couple of opportunities to log a practice later in the week, but if he’s not healthy, Chris Godwin projects to be a good starting option in his absence.
