Look for John Ross and Kadarius Toney to reprise their roles in the Giants passing game.

Cardinals HC Kliff Kingsbury told reporters Friday that RB Chase Edmonds (shoulder) is a game-time decision Week 5 against the San Francisco 49ers.

Edmonds would miss a good matchup against the 22nd ranked defense against running backs according to schedule-adjusted points allowed (aFPA). Conner has already been busy near the goal line and would be an RB3 if Edmonds misses Week 5.

Arizona Cardinals running back Chase Edmonds missed Thursday's practice session with a shoulder injury.

Edmonds picked up the shoulder injury during Week 4's contest and has now missed two straight practices with the injury. He appears to be in danger of missing this weekend's contest against the San Francisco 49ers. If he can manage to practice tomorrow, he will likely receive the questionable tag; if he cannot, he should be an early rule out. Edmonds, the RB15 through four contests, is currently our 19th ranked running back for Week 5. If Edmonds cannot go, James Conner will be thrust into the RB2 conversation.

Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield has been playing through a partially torn labrum since Week 2.

The torn labrum is in his non-throwing shoulder and has not caused him to miss any snaps for the Browns. No surgery is needed at this point, but the risk of an aggravation remains a concern. News of the injury does not affect his fantasy value as he has been playing with the injury for two weeks. The bigger concern is his lack of passing touchdown upside in the Browns run-heavy scheme. Mayfield is our 23rd ranked quarterback for Week 5.

The Giants listed a large sum of players on their first injury report including Sterling Shepard (DNP - hamstring), Darius Slayton (NDP - hamstring), Saquon Barkley (LP - knee), and Kenny Golladay (LP - groin).

Shepard and Slayton were our Week 4 and may have a chance to play Week 5, but Barkley and Golladay should suit up.

Giants HC Joe Judge told reporters Wednesday that he hopes WRs Sterling Shepard and Darius Slayton get some practice in this week. Both missed Week 4 with hamstring injuries.

Their absences were felt some as trusted veteran receiving options, but it also allowed Toney and Ross to shine. Toney is the most likely to keep a similar role in Week 5 if Shepard and Slayton return.

Giants WRs Sterling Shepard and Darius Slayton will miss Week 4 due to hamstring issues according to Dan Salomone of the New York Giants.

The Giants will have Kenny Golladay, *checks notes* Kadarius Toney, C.J. Board, and Collin Johnson *dry heaves* available on the road against the New Orleans Saints.

“It’s something we’re focused on right now,” HC Joe Judge said. “We’ve got to get [Kadarius Toney] the ball and we definitely want to. I think we saw yesterday a couple of glimpses of just him with the ball in his hands. He’s got the ability to make some guys miss in space, he runs hard and he competes. He comes off the ball with a different level of speed than a lot of guys, so in terms of trying to get him the ball, that’s definitely a focus for us going forward."

Toney got his chance to play in Week 3 with injuries to Shepard and Slayton, but only caught two balls for 16 yards. With Shepard and Slayton dealing with hamstring issues and their status in doubt, Toney has a full week of practice to try and get ready for possible significant playing time in Week 4. The team may not have much choice but to try and get him touches.
