Fantasy Impact: We should know by the end of Saturday if Jefferson will be good to go on Sunday. He will be a WR1 play if he is good to go.

NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports that Jayden Daniels is not "100 percent” healthy yet. (Source: Ian Rapoport on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Daniels is still slated to play on Sunday against the Giants, but re-injury risk is a bit of a concern.

Cowboys coach Brian Schottenheimer said LT Tyler Guyton’s back injury is not considered serious. (Source: NBC Sports)

Fantasy Impact: Guyton left Thursday's game late. He is day-to-day heading into next week.

Nick Bosa told reporters it is “pretty darn likely” he plays in Week 6 against the Commanders. (Source: NBC Sports Bay Area)

Fantasy Impact: Bosa will miss his third straight game on Sunday. He should be back next week.

Seahawks coach Mike Macdonald said Seattle’s Week 6 Thursday Night Football game against the Broncos makes Zach Charbonnet’s ramp-up “tricky.” (Source: Brady Henderson on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Charbonnet has been limited since returning to practice, but a short week in Week 6 makes a return then tricky. It sounds like Week 7 against the Chiefs is more likely when he returns.

The Ravens reportedly “do not know” whether Lamar Jackson will play in Week 6 against the Browns. (Source: Ian Rapoport on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Jackson remains week-to-week after he was ruled out for this Sunday. Tyler Huntley could be seeing more than one start.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers D/ST racked up two interceptions and a fumble recovery in the Buccaneers' 24-16 win over the Cowboys on Thursday.

Fantasy Impact: The Bucs' defense was pliable on the Cowboys' first drive of the game, but stiffened significantly after that. They did give up a touchdown in the fourth quarter, but managed to make a crucial interception when Dallas was attempting to force overtime. It was a much better showing than we previously had seen from Tampa's defense, but don't call it a comeback just yet.

Chase McLaughlin hit all three of his PATs and his lone field goal attempt in the Bucs' 24-16 win over the Cowboys on Thursday.

Fantasy Impact: McLaughlin bounced back from a down week against the Packers, but the offense was also able to move the ball much more effectively against the hapless Dallas defense, giving McLaughlin more chances than he had previously. He's been perfect on the season so far, going 10-for-10 on Field Goals and 10-for-10 on PATs. He should continue to be a solid kicker for those in need.

The Dallas Cowboys D/ST managed a single sack on Thursday in the team's 24-16 loss to Tampa Bay. No other meaningful stats were recorded.

Fantasy Impact: This is the state of the Dallas defense, allowing a rookie QB in his second start to lead multiple scoring drives and go up by as many as 14 points, while also getting just one sack and no turnovers. It's been a bad showing by the Dallas defense that began the year showing promise of improvement thanks to offseason additions and draft picks. But it appears another long road is ahead for the team this season, which will have to be carried by its offense.

Brandon Aubrey hit his only PAT and field goal attempts in the Cowboys' 24-16 loss to the Bucs on Thursday.

Fantasy Impact: Aubrey was hindered by a Dallas offense that sputtered badly after their first drive, failing to do much more in the first half before a field goal. After that, the team was in catch-up mode, and Aubrey didn't see the field again. Better days will come for the star kicker.

Jake Ferguson caught three of six targets for 19 yards in the Cowboys' 24-16 loss to Tampa Bay on Thursday.

Fantasy Impact: Ferguson had a critical drop on the Cowboys' final drive as they were trying to tie the game, failing to catch a pass and instead bobbling it straight up and into the arms of LB Alex Anzalone. It was a tough night for the veteran, but better days will come.

Colby Parkinson was a full participant in practice on Friday.

Fantasy Impact: Parkinson is on track to be good to go. He is off the fantasy radar in his current role.

Aaron Donald was a full participant in practice on Friday.

Fantasy Impact: Donald is well on track to return on Monday against the Bills.

Joshua Palmer was added to the injury report with a shoulder issue on Friday.

Fantasy Impact: Palmer is a late addition to the injury report. He remains off the fantasy radar.

DJ Moore did not practice on Friday.

Fantasy Impact: Moore will likely have to practice in some capacity on Saturday to have a chance to play on Monday.

Kaelon Black is off the injury report for Sunday's game against the Seahawks.

Fantasy Impact: Black will remain a change-of-pace role alongside Christian McCaffrey.

Isaiah Likely is off the injury report for Sunday's game against the Commanders.

Fantasy Impact: Likely hauled in seven passes last week. He remains a borderline TE1/TE2 play for fantasy managers.

Jeremiyah Love is off the injury report for Sunday's game against the Lions.

Fantasy Impact: Love is officially good to go as expected. He will be an RB2 play for fantasy managers.

Walter Nolen III is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game against the Lions.

Fantasy Impact: Nolen should be on the favorable side of questionable heading into Sunday.

Mykel Williams is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game against the Seahawks.

Fantasy Impact: Williams is expected to return for the first time since tearing his ACL in Week 9 of last season.
