Leonard Fournette is being checked on the sidelines.

The rookie running back is getting his foot looked at on the sideline in the fourth quarter against the Rams for what is being called an ankle injury. It doesn’t appear he did anything too bad to his ankle, so it’d probably be better than a foot injury as was first speculated (remember, Fournette dealt with a foot issue this preseason). Fournette had 21 carries for 130 yards and a touchdown with two receptions for eight yards in the game. The touchdown was on Jacksonville’s first offensive play of the game and was a 75-yarder. The rookie back should be ready to go next week against the Colts, as the team said he was ready to go back into the game.

Aaron Rodgers leaves game with apparent throwing arm injury.

Rodgers took a huge hit from Anthony Barr just after he threw the ball and was down for about 30 seconds before getting up and heading to the sidelines. He was noticeably dancing his arm and went into the medical tent, so this could potentially be bad. On the hit, Rodgers appeared to land on his right throwing shoulder, so it could be anything from a shoulder injury to a collarbone. Hopefully he’s able to get back in the game soon, but he’s being carted to the locker room and it doesn’t look promising.

Seth Roberts caught two passes for 34 yards in Sunday’s loss to the Ravens.

Roberts has actually been the team’s second-best receiver with Amari Cooper struggling. Still, he’s not a recommended fantasy option whether or not Derek Carr (back) returns next Sunday.

Cooper Kupp gets eight targets in Week 5.

Kupp caught three passes for 44 yards against the Seahawks, and he had a chance for a go-ahead touchdown on the final possession for the Rams as a pass went off his hands in the end zone. It was a lunging attempt by Kupp and by no means an easy catch, but he likely wishes he had another opportunity at that one. The rookie receiver gets a tough matchup against Jacksonville in Week 6, but he might avoid Jalen Ramsey and A.J. Bouye if they both play outside and Kupp plays in the slot for most of the game.

Jameis Winston (shoulder) is doubtful to return against the Cardinals.

The Buccaneers are getting blown out against Arizona, and now their starting quarterback is probably out for the game with an injury to his throwing shoulder. Winston is standing on the sideline with his shoulder pads on, so it doesn’t appear to be that bad based off how it looks. He was 5/10 for 61 yards before leaving the game.

Willie Snead (hamstring) is active against the Lions.

Snead is making his 2017 debut after being suspended for three games before missing the fourth with a hamstring issue. He’s definitely worth a pickup in most leagues as one of Drew Brees’ top targets and it wouldn’t be surprising to see him make an impact today—but it might be better to see him on the field first before you insert him into your fantasy lineup.

Sammy Watkins doesn’t catch a pass against Seattle.

Watkins was targeted four times, but he and Jared Goff couldn’t connect on the day. The explosive Watkins did get behind Richard Sherman on a go route, but Goff just overthrew him just a bit. The fourth-year receiver is likely frustrated because this no-catch game came in a loss where he probably feels like he could do more to help the team win. Next week against the Jaguars might be the most difficult matchup for wide receivers so Watkins is a risky play with just one reception over the last two weeks. He could be a prime buy-low candidate after Week 6 though, and he’s certain to have more big games like he did in Week 3 against the 49ers.
