Fantasy Football Injury Updates: Week 5
Check out the latest NFL injury news and notes around fantasy football Week 5.
Khalil Shakir (ankle) ruled out Week 5
Khalil Shakir (ankle) has been officially ruled out for Week 5 vs the Texans.
Fantasy Impact
Shakir has been unable to practice in any capacity on Wednesday or Thursday, so it’s safe to assume he won’t be practicing on Friday and will not play on Sunday. Keon Coleman, Dalton Kincaid, and Curtis Samuel could all see an increased role in the offense with Shakir out.
Vince DiSilvio
Davante Adams (hamstring) officially ruled out for Week 5
Davante Adams (hamstring) has officially been ruled out for Week 5 against the Denver Broncos.
Fantasy Impact
As expected, Adams will be unavailable to play in Week 5. He’s currently dealing with a hamstring injury, but there’s also a lot of speculation that he will be traded sometime in the near future. It remains to be seen if that will be the case, but either way, Jakobi Meyers and Brock Bowers will both benefit from his absence from a fantasy perspective on Sunday.

Zamir White (groin) won’t play Sunday
Zamir White (groin) won’t play in Sunday’s game against the Denver Broncos.
Fantasy Impact
The Raiders will be without White on Sunday as he recovers from a groin injury. It’s unclear if he will have to miss more time beyond this game, and the team is likely taking his recovery day-to-day for right now. Alexander Mattison is primed to see more work while White is out of the lineup for Las Vegas.
