Fantasy Impact: Chubb was a limited participant at Wednesday's practice due to a knee injury. He's still working on ramping up after missing over a year while on injured reserve, and he is set to be back at some point in the next couple of weeks. His return will mean a lot less work for Jerome Ford moving forward.

Fantasy Impact: Derek Carr recently went down with an oblique injury and is set to be sidelined for multiple weeks, and the team has decided that Rattler will be their starter for the foreseeable future. He was a fifth-round draft pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, and even if he plays relatively well, this is still not good news for the fantasy value of players like Alvin Kamara, Chris Olave, and Rashid Shaheed moving forward.

Michael Pittman Jr. (back) is set to be out for several weeks and is a candidate to be placed on injured reserve. (Source: Adam Schefter on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Pittman recently suffered some kind of a back injury and is set to be sidelined for several weeks. He's reportedly a candidate to land on the team's injured reserve, which would leave him sidelined for a minimum of four weeks. Josh Downs has been playing well lately and is a prime candidate to see more work in Pittman's extended absence.

Luke Musgrave (ankle) was a limited participant at practice on Wednesday. (Source: Matt Schneidman on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Musgrave is still dealing with an ankle injury and was limited at Wednesday's practice because of it. He suited up for last Sunday's game, but he didn't see even a single snap during the team's win over the Rams. Tucker Kraft is the clear alpha TE for this team, whether Musgrave is injured or not.

Romeo Doubs (personal) was a full participant at practice on Wednesday. (Source: Matt Schneidman on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: As expected, Doubs was a full participant at practice on Wednesday. He missed last week's game after being suspended by the team due to a personal issue, but it looks like he's set to return and play in full in Week 6. He may be worth streaming if Christian Watson (ankle) is out for another week.

Christian Watson (ankle) was officially limited at Wednesday's practice for the Packers. (Source: Matt Schneidman on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Watson suffered a high-ankle sprain a couple of weeks ago, but he was able to log a limited practice on Wednesday. It's unclear if he's going to be able to make his return in Week 6, and if he's unable to play, Dontayvion Wicks should continue to see more work in his absence.

Jaire Alexander (groin) was listed as a limited participant in Wednesday's practice. (Source: Matt Schneidman on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Alexander missed last week's game because of a groin injury. That same issue left him limited at practice on Wednesday, and his status for Week 6 is up in the air right now. The Packers will be hoping to have him this week in a matchup against Arizona's explosive offense.

Matt Prater (knee) was limited at practice on Wednesday. (Source: Matt Schneidman on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Prater was unable to play in Week 5 due to a knee injury, but he was back at practice in a limited fashion on Wednesday. If he's available to play this week, he will almost certainly reclaim the starting job over Chad Ryland, who filled in for him last week.

DeVonta Smith (concussion) logged a full practice session on Wednesday. (Source: Philadelphia Eagles on Twitter)

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.

A.J. Brown (hamstring) was a full participant at practice on Wednesday. (Source: Philadelphia Eagles on Twitter)

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.

Ronnie Stanley (toe) did not participate at practice on Wednesday. (Source: Baltimore Ravens on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Stanley was a non-participant at practice due to a toe injury. It's unclear right now if his absence was more of a precautionary measure or if this is a real issue for the veteran. He's a big part of Baltimore's offense, and they would feel the effects of his absence if he's out in Week 6.

Charlie Kolar (toe) was a limited participant at practice on Wednesday. (Source: Baltimore Ravens on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Kolar was a limited participant at Wednesday's practice due to a toe injury. This is a new issue for the young tight end, and he seems to be day-to-day for the time being. In the off-chance that he misses Sunday's game, Mark Andrews would see more snaps in his absence.

Marlon Humphrey (ankle) was a non-participant at practice on Wednesday. (Source: Baltimore Ravens on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Humphrey didn't practice on Wednesday after recently suffering an ankle injury. It's unclear when he will be back in the lineup, but the team better hope that he will be available to play in a matchup against Washington's red-hot offense in Week 6.

Deonte Harty (knee) was limited at practice on Wednesday. (Source: Baltimore Ravens on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Harty missed last week's game due to a knee injury, and the same issue left him limited at practice on Wednesday. It remains to be seen what his status will be for Week 6, but fantasy managers shouldn't put much weight into his availability against the Commanders.

Rashod Bateman (groin) did not participate at practice on Wednesday. (Source: Baltimore Ravens on Twitter)

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.

K.J. Osborn (shoulder) was limited at practice on Wednesday. (Source: DJ Bien-Aime on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: To no surprise, Osborn was a limited participant at Wednesday's practice because of a shoulder injury. He wasn't able to play through it last week, so his status is very much up in the air for Week 6. Kendrick Bourne (knee) will see more work if the veteran is unavailable to play for the Patriots.

Rhamondre Stevenson (foot) officially was a non-participant at practice on Wednesday. (Source: DJ Bien-Aime on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Stevenson suffered some kind of a foot injury in Week 5. The severity of it is unclear, but it left him sidelined at New England's first practice of the week on Wednesday. Fantasy managers should pay close attention to his practice participation on Thursday and Friday to see if he's trending towards playing this weekend.

Kendrick Bourne (knee) was a limited participant at practice on Wednesday. (Source: DJ Bien-Aime on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Bourne made his season debut in Week 5 after missing the start of the season due to a knee injury. The team left him limited at Wednesday's practice, but it's more of a precautionary move than anything else. He should play in Week 6 and will have more upside with Drake Maye now at the helm for the Patriots.

Laremy Tunsil (ankle) did not participate at practice on Wednesday. (Source: DJ Bien-Aime on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Tunsil was a non-participant at Wednesday's practice. He's dealing with an ankle injury right now, and the team would rather let him sit out early in the week than risk him aggravating the injury. He should be able to play in Week 6, which is great news for Houston's entire offense.

Robert Woods (foot) was a non-participant at practice on Wednesday. (Source: DJ Bien-Aime on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: The veteran is dealing with a foot injury right now. He wasn't able to practice on Wednesday because of it, but he was able to play through it in Week 5, so it doesn't seem to be a serious issue. He hasn't been a big part of Houston's offense this year but could see more reps with Nico Collins (hamstring) set to be out for at least the next four weeks.
