New Orleans Saints running back Kendre Miller (hamstring) was activated from Injured Reserve but will not be active on Sunday for the Week 6 divisional affair against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, according to a source. It's good news that Miller is off IR after missing the first five weeks of the season, but his next chance to make his 2024 debut will come next Thursday to kick off Week 7 action against the Denver Broncos. The 22-year-old former TCU star has been a huge disappointment early in his career with the Saints due to injuries. In 2023, he played in just eight games and had 41 carries for 156 yards and a touchdown while adding 10 receptions for 117 yards through the air. The Saints will ease him into the backfield when he eventually makes his season debut as depth behind Alvin Kamara and Jamaal Williams. Miller belongs on the waiver wire in most fantasy formats.

Houston Texans running back Joe Mixon (ankle) is officially active for Week 6 against the New England Patriots. He had been listed as questionable but was trending in the right direction heading into the weekend. Mixon will make his first appearance since Week 2 against the Chicago Bears when he suffered his ankle injury while being taken down on a hip-drop tackle. He should handle a near-full workload this week against the Patriots, who have a solid run defense but could allow the Texans to settle into a comfortable positive game script. Mixon ranks as a mid-range RB2 for fantasy football in his first game back.

The Buffalo Bills, New York Jets and New Orleans Saints are still reportedly interested in trading for Las Vegas Raiders WR Davante Adams and a trade could happen as soon as this week. However, the two main obstacles to completing a deal appear to be Adams' contract and potential compensation that the Raiders would receive; the Raiders are not interested in paying any portion of his contract if he is dealt.

Fantasy Spin: Adams is currently sidelined due to a hamstring injury and could be playing in a different uniform the next time he returns to the field. For Las Vegas, TE Brock Bowers is the only must-start receiving option in fantasy leagues, although WR Tre Tucker could be used as a flex option in deeper leagues.

Baltimore Ravens running back Rasheen Ali (neck) has been activated from injured reserve and will play on Sunday against the Washington Commanders. He is slated to make his NFL debut in Week 6 as a depth option behind Derrick Henry and Justice Hill. Ali is a fifth-round pick out of Marshall who tallied 1,348 scrimmage yards and 16 touchdowns in his final collegiate season last year. He remains off the fantasy radar at the moment but could have some fantasy intrigue if Henry or Hill ever gets injured.

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. (back) is expected to be active ahead of the Week 6 matchup against the Tennessee Titans. This is an odd turn of events after Pittman was a candidate for the injured reserve earlier in the week. Now, Pittman might suit up and play after being able to practice on Friday. It's unclear what kind of condition Pittman is in physically heading into this game. Fantasy managers should be cautious and rank Pittman as more of a low-end WR3 for Sunday's game. It's uncertain if he'll be limited at all and quarterback Anthony Richardson hasn't exactly had great chemistry with Pittman early in the season.

Houston Texans wide receiver Xavier Hutchinson could see more usage in the offense going forward. Hutchinson will move up the depth chart with Nico Collins (hamstring) landing on the injured reserve. That means, Hutchinson will now be the third options behind Stefon Diggs and Tank Dell in the passing game. Last week, Hutchinson finished with two receptions on three targets for 31 yards in the win over the Buffalo Bills. He doesn't offer great upside, but could be a low-end streaming option in deep leagues. He's worth stashing in most formats, but it's hard to imagine him having a huge role behind Diggs and Dell.

Green Bay Packers running back Emanuel Wilson has been quiet over the last few weeks. Wilson has been held to under 30 rushing yards in each of his last two games. The good news is that Wilson has seen six of more carries in each of the last three games. He continues to be the primary backup to Josh Jacobs and that figures to remain the same for the Week 6 matchup against the Arizona Cardinals. Wilson hasn't done much to warrant starting in most fantasy formats, but is someone worth stashing as he'll be the next man up if Jacobs ever goes down.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers NT Vita Vea was fined $14,069 by the National Football League for committing unsportsmanlike conduct and making a violent gesture in Week 5's game. Vea did a sniper celebration following a first-quarter play versus the Atlanta Falcons.

Baltimore Ravens defensive back Marlon Humphrey (ankle) is expected to suit up for the Week 6 matchup against the Washington Commanders. The three-time Pro Bowl corner has been limited in practice all week due to an ankle issue. Despite that, Humphrey is unlikely to sit out which is great news for the Ravens defense. Humphrey has 22 tackles, one tackle for loss, and two interceptions through five games this season. They will definitely need him on the field if they want to try and slow down rookie sensation Jayden Daniels.

Houston Texans TE Dalton Schultz was fined $11,255 by the National Football League for committing unsportsmanlike conduct and taunting in Week 5's game, when he rolled the ball towards a Buffalo Bills player following a play.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Sean Tucker could see more usage during the upcoming Week 6 matchup against the New Orleans Saints. Right now, lead back Rachaad White (foot) is considered doubtful for Sunday's contest. That means, Bucky Irving could be asked to step into the lead role which would make Tucker the primary backup. Tucker has only seen two rushing attempts as third string, but would likely see at least a handful if not more if White sits out. Tucker won't be an ideal streaming choice, but would be a desperation option in deep leagues.

New Orleans Saints running back Kendre Miller (hamstring) has been activated off the injured reserve ahead of the Week 6 matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Miller is set to make his season debut on Sunday after missing the first five games due to a hamstring issue. It'll be interesting to see how the Saints get Miller involved in their rushing attack. Alvin Kamara figures to continue getting the bulk of the carries, which leaves Jamaal Williams and Miller with only a few touches. Possibly, the Saints go with a run-heavy approach now that quarterback Derek Carr (oblique) is sidelined. That could give Miller more value, but for now he's worth stashing but not someone that should be started with Kamara healthy.

Miami Dolphins CB Jalen Ramsey was fined $16,883 by the National Football League for roughing the passer in Week 5's game against the New England Patriots. He smacked QB Jacoby Brissett on the facemask after Brissett had thrown the ball.

Buffalo Bills running back Ty Johnson has seen a minimal role in the backfield through the first five games. However, lead back James Cook (toe) is uncertain to suit up for Monday's game against the New York Jets. If he sits, Johnson and Ray Davis would likely split up the duties in the backfield. Johnson hasn't done much this season with only 42 rushing yards and 61 receiving yards heading into Monday's contest. However, Johnson could be a possible dart throw for fantasy managers if Cook is unable to play. He shouldn't be inserted into lineups unless Cook is ruled out, but Johnson is worth stashing in case that happens.

Los Angeles Chargers running back Kimani Vidal will be active for the Week 6 matchup against the Denver Broncos. The rookie back will get his first taste of NFL action on Sunday. Vidal figures to serve as depth behind J.K. Dobbins with Gus Edwards (ankle) heading to the injured reserve. The Chargers also have Hassan Haskins on the roster, so he could be mixed in as well. Given Dobbins' injury history, Vidal is certainly someone to keep an eye on right now. He should be rostered in most dynasty leagues and is someone worth keeping on the radar if he gets involved this weekend.

New York Giants wide receiver Isaiah Hodgins will be elevated from the practice squad for the second straight week. The Giants are going to once again be shorthanded at wideout with Malik Nabers (concussion) being sidelined for another week. Last week, Hodgins came up but only played 24 offensive snaps. It seems a bit odd that they didn't involve Hodgins more considering he was a part-time starter last season. He finished with 21 receptions for 230 yards and three touchdowns in 2023 with the Giants. Hodgins could see more snaps this week, but remains off the fantasy radar for Week 6.

New Orleans Saints running back Kendre Miller (hamstring) is expected to be activated off the injured reserve ahead of the Week 6 matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Miller appears to be set to make his season debut on Sunday. He figures to be mixed in as depth behind Alvin Kamara and Jamaal Williams. So far, Kamara has seen a heavy workload with nearly 20 carries per game. Possibly, the Saints gameplan changes with quarterback Derek Carr (oblique) being sidelined for a few weeks. Miller might find his way into a weekly role if New Orleans goes to a heavy run set. For now, Miller won't be worth stashing with Kamara and Williams healthy.

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Curtis Samuel (foot, toe) logged a full practice on Saturday and has been removed from the injury report. As a result, he will play against the New York Jets on Monday night. The veteran pass-catcher got off to a quiet start this season but has been more involved lately, logging a season-high 56 percent snap share in Week 5. Still, he's averaging just 1.8 catches and 9.6 receiving yards per game this season, so he remains off the fantasy radar even with teammate Khalil Shakir (ankle) potentially sidelined once again. Even if Shakir is out, James Cook (toe), Keon Coleman, Mack Hollins, and Dalton Kincaid all have more appeal than Samuel in fantasy football.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers S Jordan Whitehead (groin) is expected to play in Week 6's game against the New Orleans Saints, according to a source. He had been listed as questionable on the injury report after logging two limited practice sessions and one full session during the week.

From TheHuddle

Buffalo Bills running back Ray Davis has emerged as a potential fantasy football option for Week 6 in the event that teammate James Cook (toe) isn't able to play on Monday night against the New York Jets. Cook missed practice on Thursday and Friday, returned in a limited capacity on Saturday, and is officially listed as questionable to play in the upcoming divisional game on national television. While recent reports suggest that Cook is expected to play on Monday, this remains a situation worth monitoring given that he missed two practices and was still limited in the third. In the event that Cook can't play, we'd see a much larger workload for rookie Ray Davis, who has been off to a relatively quiet start this season. In that scenario, Davis would rank as a high-end fantasy RB3 against a Jets defense that has played solid against running backs this year.
