Matthews (quad) had five tackles (three solo) and 1.5 sacks in Sunday's victory over the Rams.
Matthews was slowed some at practice last week by a sore quad, but the setback did not prevent him from taking down the opposing quarterback in the backfield for the third week in a row. Matthews has just 19 tackles (15 solo) this season, but he does have 4.5 sacks -- all coming in the last three games.
Mon Oct 12 201511:32Raji exited Sunday's game with groin injuryB.J. RajiNTPackersFree Agent
Raji exited Sunday's game with a groin injury, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
The extent of Raji's injury is uncertain, but he was able to remain on the sideline after leaving the game. Even if Raji's injury is minor, the Packers may opt to hold him out of the next game against the Chargers with the team on bye in Week 7.

Casey recorded six tackles (four solo), a tackle for loss, 1.5 sacks and two quarterback hits Sunday against Buffalo.
Casey's excellent 2015 season continues, as he and the rest of the Titans defense did enough to put the team in a position to win but were let down by the offense. The 25-year-old has quietly amassed 3.5 sacks through four games.
Mon Oct 12 201511:26Douglas caught 2-of-3 targets for 17 yards Sunday against Buffal...Harry DouglasWRFalconsFree Agent
Douglas caught 2-of-3 targets for 17 yards Sunday against Buffalo.
Douglas is yet to break 25 yards in four contests as a member of the Titans. Despite being one of just four wide receivers on Tennessee's roster, the former Falcon just doesn't get much attention from quarterback Marcus Mariota.
Mon Oct 12 201511:26Daniels had eight tackles (seven solo) in Sunday's victory over ...Mike DanielsDTPackersFree Agent
Daniels had eight tackles (seven solo) in Sunday's victory over the Rams.
Daniels was shut out on the scoresheet in Week 4, but he recovered by tallying a season-high and team-leading eight tackles in Sunday's game. Daniels is now up to 18 tackles (12 solo) through five weeks this season.
Mon Oct 12 201511:21Stevens picked up one-yard reception while seeing two targets in...Craig StevensTETitansFree Agent
Stevens picked up a one-yard reception while seeing two targets in Sunday's loss to Buffalo.
A healthy Delanie Walker saw the majority of the action at tight end, leaving very few scraps for Stevens to pick up. Stevens is a good blocker, but he doesn't offer much receiving upside.
Mon Oct 12 201511:15Starks ran ball five times for 17 yards and caught three passes ...James StarksRBPackersFree Agent
Starks ran the ball five times for 17 yards and caught three passes for 29 yards in Sunday's victory over the Rams.
Starting running back Eddie Lacy received just 13 carries Sunday, but Starks still saw both his carries and touches decrease for the third straight week with the Packers having trouble moving the ball on the ground. Lacy should see his workload increase moving forward -- particularly after the Packers' Week 7 bye -- and Starks will continue to play a complimentary role in the backfield.
Mon Oct 12 201511:08McClain recorded eight tackles including sack in season debut Su...Rolando McClainLBRaidersFree Agent
McClain recorded eight tackles including a sack in his season debut Sunday.
He made a quick impression after serving his four-game suspension, and McClain should be a consistent IDP asset for the remainder of the season coming out of next week's bye.
Mon Oct 12 201511:05Hardy force on pass rush in Cowboys debut Sunday, collecting fiv...Greg HardyDEPanthersFree Agent
Hardy was a force on the pass rush in his Cowboys debut Sunday, collecting five tackles including two sacks and forcing a fumble.
The Cowboys will be on bye next week, but beginning in Week 7 expect Hardy to be a consistent IDP asset for the remainder of the season.
Mon Oct 12 201511:02McCluster rushed eight times for 20 yards and lost two yards on ...Dexter McClusterWRChiefsFree Agent
McCluster rushed eight times for 20 yards and lost two yards on his only reception in Sunday's 14-13 loss to the Bills.
McCluster's nine touches fell right around his season average, but he failed to find much running room against a stout Bills defense. The diminutive running back seems to have a consistent role in Tennessee's offense, regardless of the production of those around him.
Mon Oct 12 201511:00Beasley caught four passes on six targets for 40 yards SundayCole BeasleyWRCowboysFree Agent
Beasley caught four passes on six targets for 40 yards Sunday.
Quarterback Brandon Weeden had a terrible game, and even when Beasley was able to get open underneath Weeden wasn't able to find him consistently. The Cowboys get their bye next week and could well switch to Matt Cassel under center in Week 7, but Beasley's role isn't likely to change much.
Mon Oct 12 201510:45Johnson released by ColtsJosh JohnsonQBBrownsFree Agent
Johnson has been released by the Colts.
Johnson has been conditionally employed by the Colts over the past two weeks, and upon his latest release from the team, Indianapolis is left with their usual duo of Andrew Luck (shoulder) and Matt Hasselbeck at the quarterback position.
Mon Oct 12 201510:43Walker hauled in 4-of-6 targets for 36 yards Sunday against Bill...Delanie WalkerTE49ersFree Agent
Walker hauled in 4-of-6 targets for 36 yards Sunday against the Bills.
Walker, like the rest of Tennessee's offense, was kept quiet for most of the night by a ferocious Bills defense. His six targets tied for the team lead, so it's apparent that the poor performance wasn't due to a lack of attention from quarterback Marcus Mariota. Next week's matchup with a struggling Dolphins team offers a strong rebound opportunity for the tight end.
Mon Oct 12 201510:42Thigpen has signed with ColtsMarcus ThigpenRBDolphinsFree Agent
Thigpen has signed with the Colts.
Thigpen was released by the Bills just last week, but will now join the Colts and aim to make his presence felt primarily on special teams.
Mon Oct 12 201510:08Quick made season debut Sunday against Packers, hauling in just ...Brian QuickWRRamsFree Agent
Quick made his season debut Sunday against the Packers, hauling in just one of his three targets for 10 yards.
The fourth-year wideout was limited in his first game action since Week 7 of last season, but he was not visibly hampered by his surgically-repaired shoulder. Quick, who led the Rams in most receiving categories before he was injured last season, should provide quarterback Nick Foles with a bigger target that the receiving corps lacked through the first part of the season. Quick will use the upcoming bye week to reach closer to full health, and the Rams will then host the Browns in Week 7.
Mon Oct 12 201510:04Crabtree caught four of nine targets for 54 yards in Sunday's lo...Michael CrabtreeWR49ersFree Agent
Crabtree caught four of his nine targets for 54 yards in Sunday's loss to Denver.
Crabtree led the team in targets as the Broncos chose to double team Amari Cooper for much of the day. He's the clear No.2 option in the Raiders passing game behind Cooper, and he should continue to see a good amount of targets moving forward. Crabtree sits on 27 catches for 318 yards and one touchdown. The Raiders get a date with San Diego in Week 6.
Mon Oct 12 201509:53Spiller gained ten yards on three carries and had negative eight...C.J. SpillerRBBillsFree Agent
Spiller gained ten yards on three carries and had negative eight yards on three receptions on four targets in Sunday's loss to the Eagles.
After hauling in the game-winning 80-yard catch in Week 4 against the Cowboys, Spiller was once again criminally underused, playing only 19 snaps, according to Larry Holder of the New Orleans Times-Picayune. At this point it's difficult to identify the reasons why Spiller's usage has been so low, especially considering that the Saints were playing from behind for most of the second half on Sunday. With Drew Brees frequently under pressure and consistently finding his running backs in the passing game, there's still hope that Spiller can be a valuable fantasy commodity, particularly in PPR leagues, but there's been little evidence to support that will be the case. Up next is a Thursday night game against the Falcons.
Mon Oct 12 201509:42Foles completed just 11-of-31 passes for 141 yards, touchdown an...Nick FolesQBEaglesFree Agent
Foles completed just 11-of-31 passes for 141 yards, a touchdown and four interceptions in Sunday's loss to the Packers.
The up-and-down season continues for the 26-year-old, as this clunker came on the heels of perhaps his best game as a Ram last week. St. Louis appears to be headed toward employing a more run-heavy approach, as Todd Gurley received 30 carries on Sunday after breaking out in Week 5. Foles will likely handle more of a game management role, with Gurley carrying a heavy load moving forward, and he will need to be more careful with the ball. The Rams will host the Browns in Week 7 after the upcoming bye.
Mon Oct 12 201509:39Gould nailed both of two field-goal attempts in Sunday's 18-17 w...Robbie GouldKBearsFree Agent
Gould nailed both of his two field-goal attempts in Sunday's 18-17 win over the Chiefs.
The kicks came from 30 and 44 yards, amounting to relative chip shots for the ultra-accurate Gould. Unfortunately for Gould's fantasy owners, they amounted to the only opportunities he received on the day, as the Bears went for two points on both of the fourth-quarter touchdowns they recorded.
Mon Oct 12 201509:38Watson caught three passes on five targets for 36 yards, includi...Benjamin WatsonTEBrownsFree Agent
Watson caught three passes on five targets for 36 yards, including a six-yard touchdown reception, in Sunday's loss to the Eagles.
Watson had a 21-yard grab on the Saints' first drive and hauled in a short slant for a score on the team's second drive, but he did not catch another pass until the fourth quarter, when the Saints were down 19 points. Watson remains the Saints' primary tight end option and has proven to at least be a reliable source of some fantasy points - something not all tight ends can claim - but his upside is still limited. Up next is a Thursday night game against the Falcons.
