Fantasy Football Injury Updates: Week 5

Check out the latest NFL injury news and notes around fantasy football Week 5.

Nick Chubb (knee) ruled out for Week 5
Nick Chubb (knee) has been ruled out for Week 5’s game against the Washington Commanders.

Fantasy Impact

Chubb has officially been ruled out for Sunday’s game. This should come as no surprise, as he has less than a week of practice under his belt after spending the first four games of the season on injured reserve. Jerome Ford will continue to see the bulk of the work in the meantime, but the 28-year old will be back in the lineup in the very near future.

Fantasy Impact

Njoku was able to return to practice on Friday and is officially listed as questionable for Sunday’s game. He has been sidelined since Week 1 due to an ankle injury, but he has been working up to a return over the past couple of weeks. Fantasy managers should view him as a boom-or-bust option at the TE position if he’s active.
