Wilson (coach's decision) is inactive for Monday's game against the Browns.

Wilson will yield his spot on the game-day roster to Tevin Coleman, who is playing for the first time since Week 1 after completing his recovery from a high ankle sprain. This may be Wilson's reality moving forward unless one of Coleman, Matt Breida or Raheem Mostert suffer an injury.

Coach Pat Shurmur relayed Monday that "there's a possibility" Barkley (ankle) will play Thursday night against the Patriots.

Barkley was listed as limited on Monday's practice estimation, which is a good sign, but the star running back is far from a lock to return to action Week 6. With Wayne Gallman dealing with a concussion, Jon Hilliman and Elijhaa Penny currently profile as the team's healthiest backfield options.

Hill had two carries for seven yards Sunday against the Steelers.

The rookie's role is bottoming out; Hill played just five offensive snaps -- a season-low -- on a day where the Ravens had 81 plays. Hill hasn't seen more than two carries in any game since the season-opener, and his primary usage is as a kick returner. Unless Hill can somehow overtake Gus Edwards for the backup role behind Mark Ingram, he'll continue to fly below the fantasy radar.

In the aftermath of Sunday's loss to the Packers, Pollard is dealing with knee and ankle issues, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.

That said, the running back should be able to practice this week, suggesting that neither ailment is viewed as a major concern. Pollard logged just five snaps on offense Week 5, while rushing four times for 19 yards. With two straight quiet statistical weeks in the books, Pollard is off the fantasy radar for now, and it would probably take an injury to Ezekiel Elliott for that to change.

Edwards had five carries for 17 yards Sunday against the Steelers and added one catch for six yards.

It was another quiet outing from Edwards, who now has been held under 30 rushing yards in three of his last four outings. He's averaging just 19.7 offensive snaps per game in that span and simply isn't seeing a useful role for fantasy purposes. Mark Ingram and Lamar Jackson are accounting for nearly 70 percent of the rushes in the offense, so even though Edwards is firmly ahead of Justice Hill, there aren't enough carries left over for Edwards to manufacture relevant production.

Barkley (ankle) was projected to be a limited practice participant Monday, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.

The Giants didn't have practice due to the short week of preparation for Thursday's game against the Patriots, but it's still a good sign that Barkley was estimated to participate in some capacity. The 22-year-old was also a limited participant Friday and has apparently been targeting Thursday's game for his return from a high right ankle sprain.

Williams logged just 15 snaps on offense and didn't receive a carry Sunday against the Colts.

Williams' drop in playing time corresponded with the return of Damien Williams on Sunday. It's worth noting that Darrel Williams saw as many snaps as LeSean McCoy during Sunday's contest, though coach Andy Reid indicated that McCoy will see more snaps when he figures out his pass-protection problems. At this point, Williams looks to be the third wheel in the backfield behind the other two.

Bolden was on the field for 11 of a possible 78 snaps on offense in Sunday's 33-7 win over Washington, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

Though Bolden's snap count remained modest in Week 5, he still managed to log five carries for 13 yards and haul in his only target for a 29-yard TD. That marks two straight games in which Bolden has scored, but he's still a risky fantasy roll going forward, given the fact that he's clearly behind Sony Michel, James White and, when healthy, Rex Burkhead (foot) in the Patriots' backfield pecking order.

Hines rushed two times for a loss of one yard, but hauled in four passes (five targets) for 46 receiving yards in Sunday's 19-13 win over the Chiefs.

Marlon Mack (ankle) was able to return and handle a heavy workload, which kept Hines in a third-down back role. The 22-year-old actually led all Colts receivers in yardage on a night where the team was focused on moving the chains and controlling the ball. Mack will receive an extra week to return to full strength over the team's upcoming bye, so expect Hines to be limited to work on passing downs in Week 7's matchup against the Texans.

Williams (knee) rushed nine times for 23 yards and caught three passes (four targets) for 15 yards in Sunday's 19-13 loss to the Colts.

Williams returned after a two-week absence due to a knee injury, immediately reclaiming his role atop the Chiefs' backfield committee. The 27-year-old didn't provide much fantasy relief for fantasy owners, but he was the only true halfback to receive carries Sunday. Kansas City is unlikely to be limited to just 22:45 of possession against the Texans on Sunday, so expect the tandem of Williams and LeSean McCoy to get more involved as the team looks to rebound from its first loss of the year.
