Wiz's Weekly Calls

Injury Report2026 NFL Week 6

Published Friday, October 16, 2026

This is from a past week. The current week's calls are on the weekly page.

Who is out, who is questionable, and the pivot for each before lineups lock. Researched live by AI from that week's news, so verify before you act.

Out or Doubtful

  • Lamar Jackson (QB, BAL). Out, ankle, missed all three practices. Pivot: Tyler Huntley (QB, BAL), who has won his last three fill-in starts and keeps Derrick Henry (RB, BAL) fully startable, but downgrade Zay Flowers (WR, BAL) to a shaky WR3.
  • Jalen Hurts (QB, PHI). Out, superficial blood clot in his calf, timeline open ended. Pivot: Tanner McKee (QB, PHI) is a desperation streamer only, so pair him with a safer option like Caleb Williams if he is cleared.
  • Saquon Barkley (RB, PHI). Out, hamstring, second straight miss with Will Shipley also out. Pivot: Dameon Pierce (RB, PHI) should be the featured back and is a volume RB2 against Carolina.
  • Breece Hall (RB, NYJ). Out, quad, third straight game. Pivot: Braelon Allen (RB, NYJ) has handled 95 percent of Jets RB carries the last two weeks and is a touchdown dependent RB2.

Questionable

  • Caleb Williams (QB, CHI). Full practice all week but still unsure if he suits up. Lean start if active, the Atlanta matchup is friendly, but have a backup ready.
  • TreVeyon Henderson (RB, NEU). Practiced all three days after a supposed multi-week ankle injury, decision comes Saturday. Lean start if active.
  • A.J. Brown (WR, NEU). Limited all week, needs IR activation by Saturday. Lean sit, snaps likely capped in his first game back.
  • Tyler Warren (TE, IND). Added Friday with a groin injury, limited. Lean sit, grab a streamer now.
  • Chris Olave (WR, NOR). Illness, missed Wednesday and Thursday, returned Friday. Lean start.
  • Quinshon Judkins (RB, CLE). Ankle, boot was precautionary, practiced Friday. Lean start against a Ravens defense missing Roquan Smith.

Game-time Decisions

Williams, Henderson, Brown, Alvin Kamara (RB, NOR, back) and DK Metcalf (WR, PIT, illness) all carry late risk, so slot them only if you have an active early-window bench swap. Rashee Rice (WR, KAN) is out, which makes Ladd McConkey (WR, LAC) and the Chiefs secondary targets safer plays than anything in those coin flip spots.
