Rush (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Ravens but will serve as the emergency quarterback, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

Rush will once again serve as the emergency third option behind Michael Penix and Tua Tagovailoa. Rush will only enter the game if neither Penix nor Tagovailoa can continue to play.

Humphrey (calf/hamstring) is active for Sunday night's matchup with Atlanta.

Humphrey will ultimately be good to go for Week 5 after being limited at practice throughout the week with a pair of calf and hamstring injuries. The 30-year-old will operate as one of the team's starting cornerbacks against the Falcons' red-hot offense.

Marks carried the ball 15 times for 62 yards and caught all four of his targets for 23 yards in Sunday's 26-3 win over the Titans.

The 19 touches and 85 scrimmage yards were season highs for Marks, and the added volume came after David Montgomery left the game in the second quarter due to a groin strain and didn't return. Marks has been trending toward taking on a larger share of the load anyway as a result of Montgomery's ineffectiveness, but if the veteran back is forced to miss any additional time, the decision on who the Texans' No. 1 RB is would be made for coach DeMeco Ryans. Through five games, Marks has 149 rushing yards and two TDs along with an 11-54-0 line through the air on 13 targets, but his 3.5 yards per carry is a reflection of the offensive line's struggles. If he does take on the top job in the backfield in Week 6, it'll come against a very stingy Jaguars run defense.

Samuel (hamstring) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Seahawks, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Samuel exited Sunday's contest in the third quarter. The wide receiver caught two of his three targets for 21 yards and rushed twice for four yards before being ruled out. Mike Evans, Brandin Cooks, Jacob Cowing and Jordan Watkins are the four active wideouts remaining for the 49ers in Sunday's game.

Gordon rushed 18 times for 88 yards and a touchdown in the Dolphins' 31-24 loss to the Bengals on Sunday.

Gordon turned in a useful fantasy performance in the lead role once again, even as he navigated a brief exit from the game due to an undisclosed injury in the second half. The second-year back was able to still handle a robust workload despite the Dolphins trailing for the majority of the game, and he finished with new career highs in rush attempts and rush yards. Gordon also recorded a rushing touchdown for the third straight game when he went in from one yard with just over eight minutes remaining in the first quarter, and he should continue to helm Miami's ground attack in a Week 7 road matchup against the Jets on Sunday, Oct. 25 following a Week 6 bye.

Stroud completed 26 of 34 passes for 261 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 26-3 win over the Titans. He added five rushing yards and a TD on six carries.

Neither team had gotten the ball into the end zone at halftime, but Stroud fixed that by scampering for a two-yard TD in the third quarter before finding Jaylin Noel for a nine-yard score in the fourth. Despite the Texans' 1-4 record, Stroud still has yet to throw an INT this season, compiling a 6:0 TD:INT in five games, and he hasn't committed a turnover since Week 1. The fourth-year QB also has reinforcements coming for his receiving corps after Houston traded for Marvin Harrison on Sunday. Stroud will look to build on this performance in a Week 6 clash with the Jaguars.

Samuel is out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Seahawks due to a hamstring injury, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Samuel went down in a heap during a rushing attempt late in the third quarter, ultimately suffering a hamstring injury and losing a fumble on the play. In his absence, Mike Evans will continue to operate as the team's undisputed No. 1 wide receiver. More information on Samuel's injury will likely be provided following Sunday's contest.

Flowers (foot) is listed as active for Sunday's game in Atlanta.

Flowers endured practice restrictions during Week 5 prep, only this week he was dealing with a foot injury as opposed to the hamstring issue that had plagued him since the season opener. Despite Flowers entering the weekend as questionable to play, Adam Schefter of ESPN reported Sunday morning that the wide receiver was slated to suit up. Now that that's been confirmed, Flowers may have less sway in fantasy terms with QB Tyler Huntley directing the offense instead of Lamar Jackson (ankle), the latter of whom is inactive.

Collins caught five of seven targets for 56 yards in Sunday's 26-3 win over the Titans.

The Texans got right on both sides of the ball in their first win of the season, with Collins leading the team in targets and tying Jaylin Noel for the lead in receptions while Xavier Hutchinson topped them both in receiving yards. The trio will get some additional competition as soon as a Week 6 clash with Jacksonville after Houston traded for Marvin Harrison on Sunday, but Collins should remain the top option for C.J. Stroud as long as he remains healthy. Through three games this season, Collins has a 19-249-3 line on 25 targets.

Bagent completed 12 of 21 passes for 87 yards with no touchdowns and two interceptions while adding three rushes for 17 yards in the Bears' 31-7 loss to the Packers on Sunday.

Bagent was ultimately benched in favor of Case Keenum after his second interception of the day with under a minute remaining in the third quarter. Prior to that, he wasn't able to keep the Bears competitive on a day when Chicago's defense was consistently victimized by Jordan Love and his top two receivers, Christian Watson and Matthew Golden. Bagent had put together a diametrically opposite performance in his Week 4 start against the Jets, and it appears unlikely he'll have a chance to atone for Sunday's struggles anytime soon since Caleb Williams appears to have a good chance of returning from his hamstring injury in next Sunday night's Week 6 road matchup against the Falcons.
