tradeMarvin Harrison Jr. trade to Texans officially completed
Houston completed its trade for Marvin Harrison Jr. on Sunday after beating Tennessee, sending Arizona a 2027 second-round pick and a 2027 sixth-round pick; Arizona sends Harrison and a 2027 seventh-round pick back to Houston. Harrison was inactive against Detroit Sunday while the deal closed and wasn't with the team at Saturday night's meetings. He reunites with Ohio State quarterback C.J. Stroud, who called him "an amazing talent" and "one of the hardest workers" he's known, adding "sometimes a fresh start can be really good." Houston's depth chart already lists him at WR2 behind Nico Collins.
Fantasy take
Harrison leaves Arizona with 13 targets and 5 catches through four games, an 8-to-11 percent target share that never cracked double-digit catches in a single outing. In Houston he steps into a passing game already built around Nico Collins, who's pulling 27-31 percent of targets and coming off back-to-back 100-yard, multi-touchdown weeks. Arizona's post-trade target pool shifts to Michael Wilson (34-37 percent share over his last two games) and Trey McBride, who's commanded a 22-38 percent share all year. Harrison's workload with Stroud starts from a smaller slice of a deeper receiver room than the one he's leaving.
Deebo Samuel (hamstring) scheduled for Monday MRI
Samuel left San Francisco's 32-29 win over Seattle with 5:06 left in the third quarter, tripped up and fumbling as he went down. He didn't return and was ruled out immediately; coach Kyle Shanahan said postgame, "I don't think he's coming back this week." He's scheduled for an MRI Monday to determine severity.
Fantasy take
Samuel's role through 2026 has been multi-purpose rather than a fixed snap share — in his September return against the Rams he rotated inside a four-man 11-personnel WR group with Mike Evans, Brandin Cooks and Jacob Cowing, while also logging carries and kickoff return work. An MRI that confirms anything beyond a short-term absence removes a receiver who was still touching the ball in the run and return game, not just at receiver. San Francisco's existing WR rotation (Evans, Cooks, Cowing, Jordan Watkins, Christian Kirk) gives the offense other bodies to redistribute snaps to once the MRI result is known.
Michael Penix Jr. (ribs) scheduled for Monday MRI
Penix took a hit to the midsection late in the fourth quarter of Atlanta's 30-23 overtime loss to Baltimore and is scheduled for a rib MRI Monday; results weren't public as of Monday evening. Penix said he doesn't believe the injury is long-term, but his Week 6 status against the Bears is unsettled pending the scan.
Fantasy take
Michael Penix Jr. missed the final stretch of 2025 with a left knee ACL injury, separate from two college ACL tears on the same leg. This rib injury adds a new entry to a five-injury history that already includes two ACL tears, a shoulder surgery, and a separated throwing shoulder. He started all five games of 2026 before Sunday's overtime loss, and the MRI will determine whether the midsection hit produces something short of another extended absence. If Penix sits any time against the Bears, Tua Tagovailoa is the next quarterback on Atlanta's depth chart.

Lamar Jackson has a "real chance" to return Week 6
Jackson sat out Sunday's loss to Atlanta with his ankle injury — his first missed game of the season. NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports Jackson has a "real chance" to return for Week 6 against Cleveland and was closer to playing in Week 5 than previously known. Tyler Huntley remains the starter until Jackson is cleared.
Fantasy take
Jackson carried the ball 7, 4, 6, and 2 times across his four healthy weeks, popping a 50-yard rushing day in Week 3, before the ankle sidelined him Sunday. Rapoport's report that he was closer to playing in Week 5 than known suggests the injury trended toward resolution faster than the public timeline indicated. Huntley took every snap once Jackson left Week 4's game and has now started a full week, meaning any Week 6 return reinserts a rushing dimension the Ravens' offense hasn't had for two games.
Caleb Williams: "all signs point to" a Week 6 return
Williams sat out his third straight game Sunday with the Grade 2 hamstring strain he suffered in Week 2. NFL Network's Ian Rapoport said "all signs point to" Williams returning for Week 6 against Atlanta. Coach Ben Johnson called him "close" but wouldn't commit, saying "we'll see if that's Atlanta or after."
Fantasy take
Bagent's lone complete start with Williams out put up 268 yards on 25-of-34 passing without a touchdown in Week 4, and the Bears offense hasn't turned over an every-week aerial threat without him. A return timeline now has an outlet on the record rather than just injury-report language: Rapoport's "all signs point to" framing is the first specific week attached to this absence, even with Johnson stopping short of naming it. The three-game runway with Bagent at the helm sets the comparison point for whatever snap distribution looks like once Williams is back in the building.
Packers lose second defensive starter to a torn Achilles in two weeks
DT Javon Hargrave tore his Achilles late in Sunday's 31-7 win over the Bears; coach Matt LaFleur said postgame he's expected to need season-ending surgery. It's the second Green Bay defensive starter lost to a torn Achilles in as many weeks, after LB Edgerrin Cooper's Week 4 injury.
Fantasy take
Both losses are on the defensive side of the ball, where IDP scoring is the only format that cares directly — Hargrave and Cooper won't accrue tackles, sacks, or coverage stats in standard leagues regardless. Cooper was in the middle of a near career-best stretch (30 tackles, 3 sacks, an interception through four games) before his own Week 4 Achilles tear, and Hargrave had been starting at three-technique next to Devonte Wyatt; neither snap-count nor role detail changes the calculus for season-long managers in standard formats, where neither player was ever a rosterable asset.
Busy Monday after a full Week 5 slate — one trade closes the book, two Monday MRIs open new ones.
