Top Week 5 fantasy news for Sunday

Watch for updates on major fantasy news for Week 5.

Brock Bowers INACTIVE Week 5

The Las Vegas Raiders tight end has endured a rough fantasy year since his 103-yard performance Week 1, fighting PCL and bone bruise injuries in his knee.

He’s out for Week 5. Hit the waiver wire to find Bowers replacements as soon as you can.

Bucky Irving set to miss more weeks

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back also has a shoulder subluxation (ouch):

Rachaad White will be the lead back in Week 5, but Sean Tucker remains a smart waiver-wire pickup for his potential goal-line, complementary use that could — at minimum — help in by weeks.

Of course, a reminder of what Tucker could do if he’s given the reins:

Cowboys activate RB Jaydon Blue to serve as top backup

Miles Sanders (ankle) is inactive for Week 5, and Blue will back up Javonte Williams.

The talented rookie’s workload looks flex-worthy against the Jets in Week 5, but Williams has performed well and remains the majority starter when active. 

Blue could overtake a healthy Sanders enough in the future to become bye-filler-worthy in the coming weeks.

Dillon Gabriel takes over as Browns starting QB

Joe Flacco has been displaced by the first of two Browns rookie quarterbacks drafted in 2025 — and no, not Shedeur Sanders. Gabriel takes the helm in a risky draw against the Vikings defense … in London. 

However, tight ends Harold Fannin and David Njoku could be busy as the rookie QB could lean on the position.
