Fantasy News

Jeremy Maclin (hand) is listed as questionable for Sunday.

Maclin was a full participant in practice every day this week, and if there was still a “probable” tag he’d probably be listed as that. Check back in on Sunday, but it’d be a shock if Maclin was not out there on Sunday.  He’s a FLEX option against Oakland.

Kelvin Benjamin (knee) is officially active against the Lions.

Benjamin’s knee forced him to be limited some throughout the week, but he’s ready to go against the Lions. The big receiver is a solid option in fantasy lineups.

Benjamin Watson (calf) is questionable for Week 5.

The veteran tight end didn’t practice Wednesday or Thursday, but he was a full participant today. Expect him to be out there on Sunday against Oakland.

John Brown (quadricep) is officially active for Week 5.

Brown was expected to be ready to go. Smokey is a WR2 option in a good matchup against the Eagles.

Ty Montgomery (ribs) is doubtful for Week 5.

The third-year back was limited in practice all week and there were positive signs that he might try to play on Sunday, but it does not look like that’s going to happen. Both Montgomery and the Packers likely do not want to risk further injury to the area, so the starting back probably won’t be suiting up for the game. Rookies Jamaal Williams and Aaron Jones will get most of the backfield work, but it’s really unclear which of them will be the leader in the backfield (if either). Both Williams and Jones are probably risk/reward RB2/FLEX plays.

Martavis Bryant (illness) is active for Week 5.

He was added to the injury report yesterday, but there was never really much concern he’d be active for this game. Bryant obviously offers a ton of upside in fantasy lineups, but he’s a risky play against the Jaguars.

Mike Wiliams (back) is officially out for Sunday.

This was expected, though the good news is Williams continues to get in limited practices. Next week might be the week for the rookie receiver, so we’ll see if he’s able to get in some full practices and make his NFL debut against the Raiders in Week 6.
