Check out the latest NFL injury news and notes around fantasy football.

DeVonta Smith (concussion) logs full practice Wednesday
DeVonta Smith (concussion) logged a full practice session on Wednesday.

Fantasy Impact

Smith suffered an ugly concussion a couple of weeks ago, but he was back and practicing at full capacity on Wednesday. He seems highly likely to play in Week 6, and if that’s the case, he should be started in most leagues in a matchup against the Browns.

Fantasy Impact

Brown was able to log a full practice session on Wednesday. He has been out since early in the season thanks to a hamstring injury, but he has finally recovered and seems set to make his return in Week 6. Fantasy managers should hesitate to start him, assuming that he’s available to play in Sunday’s game.

Rashod Bateman (groin) doesn’t practice Wednesday

Fantasy Impact

Bateman is a new addition to Baltimore’s injury report, being listed with a groin injury that left him sidelined from practice on Wednesday. We will hopefully get an updated timeline for his recovery within the next day or two, but it appears that he has a real chance of missing Sunday’s game against the Commanders.
