Fantasy Football Injury Updates: Week 6
Check out the latest NFL injury news and notes around fantasy football.
Jaylen Warren (knee) doubtful for Week 6
Jaylen Warren (knee) is doubtful for Week 6’s matchup against the Raiders.
Fantasy Impact
This is now the third week that Warren will likely miss after sustaining the injury earlier in the season. Before his injury, Warren was not receiving the usage lots of fantasy managers wanted to see. If Warren does miss Week 6 as expected, Aaron Shampkin will likely back up Najee Harris.

Davante Adams (hamstring) not expected to play Week 6
Davante Adams (hamstring) is expected to miss Sunday’s Week 6 matchup against the Steelers. He missed Weeks 4 and 5 with the same injury.
Fantasy Impact
While he may have tweaked his hamstring, there is speculation that Adams is sitting out due to his trade request and unhappiness in Vegas. Without the top pass-catcher, the Vegas quarterback, whether it be Gardner Minshew or Aidan O’Connell, will look more toward Brock Bowers and Jakobi Meyers. Bowers will remain an elite tight end option, while Meyers will likely fall in the WR3 range.

Aaron Jones (hip) considered week-to-week
Vikings coach Kevin O’Connell said Aaron Jones is “week to week.”
Fantasy Impact
Jones is considered week-to-week heading into the Vikings bye week. Ty Chandler is an interesting stash for fantasy managers with Jones status up in the air for Week 7.
