Tue Oct 13 201510:06Fells (ankle) unlikely to play in NFL againDaniel FellsTEPatriotsFree Agent
Fells (ankle) is unlikely to play in the NFL again, Ralph Vacchiano of the New York Daily News reports.
Fells has already undergone five surgeries on his foot to fight an MRSA infection. He's been in the hospital since Oct. 2 and may need to stay a while longer. Fortunately, he's been doing much better the last few days, after his doctors found a combination of antibiotics that worked.

Barth made a triumphant return to the Bucs, successfully converting all three field goal attempts and a trio of point-after tries in Sunday's 38-31 loss to the Jaguars.
Barth helped to quickly put the departed Kyle Brindza's inconsistencies in the rearview mirror, turning in a perfect performance in Week 5. The veteran kicker hit field goals of 35, 45 and 47 yards and was impeccable on his first three career extra-point tries from the newly-instituted distance.

McCoy amassed three tackles (one solo), 1.5 sacks, and a tackle for loss in Sunday's 38-31 victory over the Jaguars.
The Bucs' star defensive tackle continues to play through a shoulder ailment and nevertheless put heat on opposing quarterbacks. McCoy has now collected at least one sack in all but one game in 2015, and tallied his 1.5 takedowns Sunday in the closing minutes, helping to snuff out the Jaguars' last-ditch attempt at potential game-tying touchdown. McCoy will face off against the Redskins and Kirk Cousins in Week 7 after the Bucs' bye.

David collected nine tackles (eight solo), a sack, a tackle for loss and a pass defensed in Sunday's 38-31 victory over the Jaguars.
David tallied his highest number of solo tackles in a game this season, along with registering his first quarterback takedown. The fourth-year standout has had a couple of relatively quite performances in 2015, but has been a force two out of the last three contests. David will look to continue his strong play in a Week 7 matchup against the Redskins following the Bucs' Week 6 bye.

Zuerlein missed his first field goal of the season Sunday, then missed another two in a 24-10 loss to Green Bay.
Zuerlein had been lights out heading into Sunday, but dropped his season percentage from 100 all the way to less than 65 percent with the rough day. Zuerlein is ultra-reliable when indoors, but struggles in colder conditions and is part of an anemic offense. That's certainly not a good combination for a fantasy kicker.

Laurinaitis became the first player to pick off Aaron Rodgers at Lambeau Field in three years in a 24-10 loss to Green Bay on Sunday.
Laurinaitis also picked up eight tackles in the defeat. He now has 37 tackles, a sack, a forced fumble and an interception on the season.

Allen won't return to Monday's game against the Steelers due to a left ankle injury, Chris Adamski of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review reports.
Allen sustained the ailment in the first quarter, but not before recording two solo tackles to bring his season-long line to 31 tackles (26 solo), one interception, and one sack. In his stead, Robert Golden took over at strong safety.
Mon Oct 12 201521:12Cook struggled in Sunday's 24-10 loss to Green Bay, only grabbin...Jared CookTETitansFree Agent
Cook struggled in Sunday's 24-10 loss to Green Bay, only grabbing one of his six targets from quarterback Nick Foles.
Foles was completely off his game on Sunday, which certainly affected Cook in a negative way. Even so, after a decent start to the year, Cook has only five catches for 37 yards in his last three games combined. He may bust out for another solid game or two the rest of the way, but those looking for a consistent option should look elsewhere.

Kendricks hauled in two catches for 16 yards in Sunday's 24-10 loss to the Packers.
Kendricks upped his season total to seven catches for 85 yards, and he also has a score on the year. He plays a lot of snaps, but is, at best, the fifth or sixth receiving option in the Rams' offense.
Mon Oct 12 201520:31Hankerson (ribs) limited in Falcons' walkthrough practice MondayLeonard HankersonWRRedskinsFree Agent
Hankerson (ribs) was limited in the Falcons' walkthrough practice Monday, Vaughn McClure of ESPN.com reports.
Hankerson left Sunday's game briefly due to a rib issue, which was likely the impetus for his least productive performance of the season (one catch for 13 yards on four targets). His practice participation Monday bodes well for active status Thursday at New Orleans, but the injury could again hamper his output.
Mon Oct 12 201519:30Flowers (concussion) listed as active for Monday's game against...Brandon FlowersCBChiefsFree Agent
Flowers (concussion) is listed as active for Monday's game against the Steelers.
Good news for the Charger's secondary, but with 10 tackles in three games out of the gate, Flowers' IDP impact this season has been modest.
Mon Oct 12 201519:28An MRI on Raji's groin Monday revealed no damageB.J. RajiNTPackersFree Agent
An MRI on Raji's groin Monday revealed no damage, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.
Raji was removed from Sunday's win against the Rams due to a groin injury, and while it may not be severe, he was still unable to finish that contest. As the week progresses, his ability to practice will forecast if he'll be able to play Sunday against the Chargers.
Mon Oct 12 201519:27Spaeth (hand) listed as active for Monday's game against Charge...Matt SpaethTEBearsFree Agent
Spaeth (hand) is listed as active for Monday's game against the Chargers.
Spaeth's return to action will bolster the team's depth at tight end behind starter Heath Miller, but he's not involved enough in the team's offense to be a fantasy lineup consideration.
Mon Oct 12 201519:25Allen (knee) inactive for Monday's game against ChargersCortez AllenDBSteelersFree Agent
Allen (knee) is inactive for Monday's game against the Chargers.
With Allen still out, look for Antwon Blake to once again see added action in the Steelers' Week 5 secondary.
Mon Oct 12 201519:12Jones (ankle) listed as active for Monday's game against Steele...Jacoby JonesWRRavensFree Agent
Jones (ankle) is listed as active for Monday's game against the Steelers.
His return arrives at a good time for the Chargers, with fellow wideout Stevie Johnson out Monday, though Jones is likely to make most of his initial impact in the team's return game.
Mon Oct 12 201518:54Though Forsett had ankle rolled up on in Sunday's loss to BrownsJustin ForsettRBTexansFree Agent
Though Forsett had his ankle rolled up on in Sunday's loss to the Browns, coach John Harbaugh relayed Monday that "it's not a high-ankle" sprain that the running back is dealing with, the Baltimore Sun reports.
Per Harbaugh, "that's a good sign. That gives him a chance for this week." Forsett's status will thus be worth monitoring closely as Sunday's game against the 49ers approaches, with Javorius Allen a candidate for added work in Week 6 if Forsett ends up being limited or out this Sunday.
Mon Oct 12 201518:38Bell (ankle) plans to practice this week and expects to play Sun...Joique BellRBLionsFree Agent
Bell (ankle) plans to practice this week and expects to play Sunday against the Bears, the Detroit Free Press reports.
Assuming he is able to return to action this week, there's an opportunity for Bell to reclaim a portion of the Lions' backfield touches, with fellow RB Ameer Abdullah having fumbled twice in Week 5.
Mon Oct 12 201517:48Jamaal Charles: ACL tear confirmedJamaal CharlesRBChiefsFree Agent
An MRI has reportedly confirmed that Charles tore his ACL on Sunday, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports.
With Charles thus on track to miss the rest of the season, Charcandrick West and Knile Davis are next up for the Chiefs' backfield duties. With that in mind, coach Andy Reid relayed via the Kansas City Star that the duo would continue to split time, though it's worth noting that on Sunday, West finished the day with 31 yards on seven carries, while Davis carried the ball just twice for two yards. "I'm not saying who is or is not the feature guy, but we need both of them," Reid stated Sunday, with reference to turning to a West/Davis backfield combo. "Both their games are different. We'll just see how that goes." While the situation plays out, both West and Davis slot in as high-priority targets in leagues where they remain available, with West perhaps the higher percentage play, based on Week 5's box score, but not necessarily a lock to dominate the team's carries moving forward, given Davis' previous experience filling in for Charles.
Mon Oct 12 201517:09Ware suffered back strain Sunday at Oakland and expected to miss...DeMarcus WareLBCowboysFree Agent
Ware suffered a back strain Sunday at Oakland and is expected to miss two weeks, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
The Broncos travel to Cleveland next Sunday, before their bye arrives in Week 7, so the team is prepared to be without Ware for potentially just one game. Thus, his next few weeks will be characterized by treatment, with the likely aim of a return for Sunday Night Football on Nov. 1 against the Packers.
Mon Oct 12 201517:06Rey had 13 total tackles in Sunday's win over SeahawksVincent ReyLBBengalsFree Agent
Rey had 13 total tackles in Sunday's win over the Seahawks.
Rey has had two games in a row with double-digit tackles and has had eight or more tackles in four of the five Bengals games this season. Nobody's Vontaze Burfict, but Rey has come close while Burfict has been out.
