Jalen Richard rushed nine times for 37 yards in Sunday’s loss to Baltimore.

Richard was the clear backup to Marshawn Lynch, as DeAndre Washington didn’t even receive a touch. If Lynch keeps struggling, the dynamic second-year back could see more work. He’s worth monitoring heading into a Week 6 matchup with the Chargers.

Mike Wallace caught three passes for 133 yards in Sunday’s win over the Raiders.

Oakland’s slow cornerbacks were a great matchup for Wallace, and fantasy owners that went with him for upside were rewarded with three big catches. Baltimore will likely continue to rely on the ground game next week against Chicago, so Wallace is a risky fantasy play once again.

Aaron Rodgers officially has a broken collarbone.

The team says Rodgers might miss the rest of the season with the injury, which is about the worst news possible. The Packers will now turn to Brett Hundley, who is more than capable but would be a major surprise if he matched Rodgers’ MVP-level play. This is an obvious downgrade to everyone in Green Bay’s offense, as Jordy Nelson was arguably the best fantasy WR with Rodgers, Davante Adams was a WR1/WR2 option, Randall Cobb was a FLEX option, while the running backs will be hard pressed to find as many scoring chances as they did with Rodgers under center. The Packers signal-caller missed seven weeks with his collarbone injury in 2013, but that was his left non-throwing arm collarbone. Fantasy owners need to plan to be without their elite QB1 for the rest of this season.

Rob Kelley (ankle) is inactive.

Redskins head coach Jay Gruden said Kelley was a long shot to play today, and now he’s officially out. Rookie Samaje Perine could be in line for a heavy workload against the 49ers and is a FLEX option. It sounds like Kelley might not be ready for Week 7 against the Eagles, though the game is next Monday night, which gives him an extra day.

Marshawn Lynch finds the end zone in Raiders’ loss.

Lynch rushed 12 times for 43 yards, including a three-yard score in the third quarter. He also caught a 10-yard pass. Overall, it was another bad showing for Marshawn, as the Ravens run defense is really hurting with nose tackle Brandon Williams out, but he could only muster 3.6 yards per carry. The 31-year-old is now averaging 3.4 yards per carry on the season, and he’s barely a FLEX option against the Chargers in Week 6.

Robert Woods catches five of eight targets against Seattle.

Woods, who went off against Seattle last season while he was with Buffalo, seems to be a difficult cover for the Seahawks corners. He gained 66 yards on his five receptions while adding an eight-yard carry. Woods gets the Jaguars in Week 6.

Dontrelle Inman is inactive for the Chargers.

Inman wasn’t on the injury report despite dealing with a hamstring issue, so he’s a healthy scratch with rookie Mike Williams (back) active for the first time.
