Fantasy Football Injury Updates: Week 5
Check out the latest NFL injury news and notes around fantasy football Week 5.
Travis Etienne Jr. (shoulder) good to go for Sunday
Travis Etienne Jr. (shoulder) is good to go for Sunday’s game against the Indianapolis Colts.
Fantasy Impact
Etienne will be available to play on Sunday, despite being limited all week because of a shoulder injury. Tank Bigsby (shoulder) is also available to play for the Jaguars, which is less than ideal for the 25-year old. Fantasy managers should still be starting him in a divisional matchup against the Colts.

Anthony Richardson (hip) questionable for Week 5
Anthony Richardson (hip) is questionable for Week 5’s game against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Fantasy Impact
Richardson suffered a hip injury last week and will be questionable for Week 5’s game against the Jaguars. It’s unclear if he’s trending in one way or the other, and he seems to have a true 50/50 shot of playing. With Jonathan Taylor (ankle) out of the lineup, it’s possible that Indianapolis’ pass catchers would be better off with Joe Flacco starting this week rather than Richardson.

Jaylen Warren (knee) won’t play Sunday
Jaylen Warren (knee) won’t play in Sunday’s game against the Dallas Cowboys.
Fantasy Impact
As expected, Warren is not yet ready to go and will miss Sunday night’s game against the Cowboys. He’s working on recovering from a knee injury, but he needs more time before he’s ready to take the field. Cordarrelle Patterson (ankle) is also unavailable to play, so Najee Harris will be primed for a lot of work this weekend.
