Marcus Mariota (quad) was activated from injured reserve.

Mariota is back after being out since his quad injury suffered in Week 1. Keep an eye on the dual threat quarterback as a potential trade target as the deadline approaches. Mariota was unfortunately affected by just about any player after the Jon Gruden resignation, as he joined the Raiders last year and stayed with them again in 2021 largely to work with Gruden.

The Panthers placed Christian McCaffrey (hamstring) on injured reserve.

McCaffrey was already ruled out tomorrow for the third consecutive game, but this means he will miss at least three more games (so at least five total) with the hamstring issue. He presumably had a setback earlier this week, and the team is now placing him on IR as they will take things slow. Hopefully the superstar running back is able to return right when he’s eligible in Week 9. This is now the second consecutive year that the consensus top pick in fantasy drafts has missed a chunk of action due to injury.

T.Y. Hilton (neck) was activated from injured reserve.

Hilton is ready to make his 2021 debut tomorrow, and it’s fitting that it comes against a Texans team he’s historically torched throughout his career. Hilton’s presence as a veteran deep threat should boost a Colts team looking to get on track and make a run.

The Dolphins officially activated Tua Tagovailoa from injured reserve.

This was fully expected after Tua returned to practice last week. Tagovailoa will start at quarterback for the Dolphins tomorrow in London.

Damien Harris (ribs) is officially questionable for Week 6.

Harris was able to practice on a limited basis the past couple of days, and we expect that he’ll be good to go for Sunday. However, the Patriots don’t play the Cowboys until the late-afternoon window, so you might need a backup plan from the later games if you plan to use Harris in your Week 6 lineup.

Sterling Shepard is off the Week 6 injury report.

Shepard missed the past two games with his hamstring injury, but he’s ready to return to play the Rams on Sunday. Shepard should step back in and be one of the top targets for Daniel Jones on offense.
