Colts RB Jonathan Taylor officially OUT for Week 6, QB Anthony Richardson GTD

Oct 11, 2024

Shane Steichen ruling just one #Colts player OUT for Sunday:

Michael Pittman Jr. (back) is feeling really good, per Steichen.

Anthony Richardson will be a game-time decision.

Related Players: Trey Sermon, Tyler Goodson, Joe Flacco

Fantasy Impact:

It hadn't been looking good for Taylor throughout the week, so maybe the bigger news is that we don't have any confirmation about Richardson's status, which has a huge impact on lineup decisions.

There are a lot of moving parts here, but we're assuming Pittman won't play and that Richardson *will*, which gives a slight boost to Josh Downs and Alec Pierce, who should be considered WR3s with upside for more.

Saints WR Rashid Shaheed to undergo surgery, possibly missing the rest of the '24 season

yesterday · 3:50 PM EDT

Coach Dennis Allen announces that Rashid Shaheed will undergo surgery on his meniscus, and during the surgery, it will be determined if he has the full repair or the trim.

The full repair would mean his season is over.

Fantasy Impact:

Miserable news for a player who had been contributing in many aspects, including special teams. Spencer Rattler's skill position group is being sniped by injuries, which makes the entire team a strong fade for fantasy purposes.

Saints WR Chris Olave officially OUT Week 7

Adam Schefter

yesterday · 3:48 PM EDT

Saints HC Dennis Allen ruled out WR Chris Olave for Thursday night’s game vs. Denver due to a concussion.

Related Players: Juwan Johnson, Bub Means, Cedrick Wilson, Mason Tipton

Fantasy Impact:

Things are trending in the wrong direction for the Saints this week, with a number of impactful injuries looking to sap their offense. Mean is fine as a desperation Flex, but don't expect too much.

Jets WR Davante Adams is expected to play Week 7

Adam Schefter

yesterday · 1:07 PM EDT

Jets HC Jeff Ulbrich confirmed that WR Davante Adams — who has missed the past three games due to a hamstring injury — is expected to play Sunday vs. the Steelers.

Related Players: Garrett Wilson, Allen Lazard, Mike Williams

Fantasy Impact:

It shouldn't take much time for Adams to get heavily involved in the offensive gameplan, with literally hundreds of targets from Aaron Rodgers on his resume. Though this is a tough matchup against the Steelers' defense, targets should be funneled to Adams and Wilson from the get-go. Put both of them in WR2 consideration this week.
