NFL Player News

Jones (knee) is active for Sunday's game against the Bills in London.

He'll suit up for the first time since Sept. 17 after missing the Jaguars' last two games due to the knee injury. Though Jones practiced in only a limited capacity Wednesday through Friday, the Jaguars are apparently satisfied enough with his health to give him the green light Sunday. Even though he's available for the Week 5 matchup, it wouldn't be surprising if Jones' snap share lagged behind those of Calvin Ridley and Christian Kirk, who could remain prioritized in two-receiver sets. Jones should still have the edge on the No. 3 role over Jamal Agnew (quadricep), who is returning from a one-game absence of his own.

Kupp isn't expected to have any limitations while making his season debut Sunday versus the Eagles, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

After missing the Rams' first four games while recovering from a hamstring injury, Kupp was reinstated from injured reserve Saturday and doesn't carry an injury designation for Sunday's contest. He was listed as a limited participant in his return to practice Wednesday, but he closed the week as a full participant. The All-Pro receiver will be set to rejoin a new-look Rams offense that was led by emergent duo Puka Nacua and Tutu Atwell through the first four weeks, meaning it might not be necessary for him to operate as quite the dominant target hog of seasons past. Nonetheless, of course, news that Kupp won't face any limitations in his return from injury provides confidence he'll hit the ground running as an elite fantasy contributor, even amid new circumstances on offense.

Beckham (ankle) is officially listed as questionable but is expected to suit up versus the Steelers on Sunday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Beckham has missed the Ravens' last two games due to a lingering ankle issue, but he looks like he'll make his return to the lineup Week 5. The veteran wideout combined for just five catches for 66 yards on seven targets in his two appearances with Baltimore this season. Official word on his status will come when Baltimore releases its inactive list roughly 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff.

Higgins (ribs) remains listed as questionable but isn't expected to suit up for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Higgins looks poised to miss at least one game due to a rib fracture suffered in the Week 4 loss to the Titans. His availability, or lack thereof, should be made official roughly 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff, when Cincinnati releases its inactive list. If Higgins indeed can't go, Tyler Boyd will stand to step into the No. 2 wideout role alongside Ja'Marr Chase, while Trenton Irwin will likely operate as the No. 3 man.

Williams (non-injury) is expected to play in Sunday's Week 5 game against the Panthers, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Williams had his six-game gambling ban reduced to four games earlier in the week and was immediately eligible to return to the team. He practiced this week and showed enough to get on the field Sunday. Even with Amon-Ra St. Brown (abdomen) doubtful and not expected to play, Williams shouldn't be counted on for a full-time role. Josh Reynolds and Kalif Raymond are the favorites for snaps.

Drummond was elevated to Detroit's active roster Saturday.

Drummond signed with the Lions' practice squad in late August, and he's now got the chance to appear in his first NFL game. The undrafted rookie out of Eastern Michigan caught 33 passes for 525 yards and three touchdowns in his final collegiate season.

Watson (hamstring) was not listed with an injury designation ahead of Monday's contest against the Raiders, Anthony Galaviz of The Fresno Bee reports.

It'll be interesting to see how much work Watson receives Monday with no injury designation given the productive wideout was close to a game-time decision last week against the Lions. In that eventual drubbing, Watson played just 45 percent of the offensive snaps, although it's hard to tell if he would have been out there for more had the game been a bit more competitive during the second half. The Packers have a bye in Week 6, so it's at least somewhat telling for fantasy managers that the team felt comfortable playing Watson even with a lengthy off period on tap. The Raiders are actually middle of the pack in terms of passing yards allowed this season, but they've given up a whopping eight passing TDs to wide receivers, fifth most in the league.

Treadwell was elevated to the Ravens' active roster ahead of Sunday's game against Pittsburgh, Dale Lolley of the Steelers' official site reports.

Treadwell's elevation suggests that the Ravens will likely be without wideout Odell Beckham this coming Sunday. The 2016 first-round pick was active for Baltimore's Week 4 win over Cleveland, playing primarily on special teams.

Atlanta elevated Malone from its practice squad Saturday, Josh Kendall of The Athletic reports.

Malone latched on with the Falcons as an undrafted free agent May 1 and was added to the practice squad in late August after failing to make the initial 53-man roster. Atlanta placed wideout Josh Ali (ankle) on injured reserve earlier this week, necessitating the need for depth among its wideout corps. However, Malone isn't likely to see much work on offense Sunday versus Houston.

Adams (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Monday's primetime contest against the Packers, Anthony Galaviz of The Fresno Bee reports.

Adams returned to practice in limited fashion Saturday for the first time this week, paving the way for the All-Pro wideout to potentially play come Monday. While fantasy managers might have to sweat Adams' status closer to Monday's 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff, neither the Raiders nor the veteran have seemingly released any information that suggests the star target would miss a chance to play against his former team.
