PDAAs we approach Week 5, fantasy football owners need to monitor the potential returns of several key running backs who failed to suit up last week. Brian Robinson Jr.'s, D'Andre Swift's, David Montgomery's, Alvin Kamara's, and Gus Edwards' statuses Wayne Ellington Jersey for the coming weeks are trending in the right direction, and knowing the latest injury updates for these RBs is important as you ready your Week 5 RB rankings and waiver wire pickups.Below, we'll give you the latest news on these key RBs and break down how their injuries could potentially affect the Week 5 fantasy landscape. For news on banged-up WRsAmon-Ra St. Brown,Keenan Allen, andMichael Thomas,;for the latest on ailing RBsJonathan Taylor,Cordarrelle Patterson, andJavonte Williams,; for more updates on injured WRs, likeIsaiah McKenzie,Jahan Dotson, andTreylon Burks,.WEEK 5 FANTASY: | |UPDATE:Commanders' coach Ron Rivera said Tuesday that Robinson has a "" in Week 5.Robinson Jr. (lower body) is set to be, giving the Commanders 21 days to place him on the active roster. He has a chance to make his regular-season debut this Sunday against Tenne see, which is great news for Robinson given what he's gone through after being shot in an attempted robbery just before the start of the season.The third-round rookie from Alabama has a chance to a sume early-down duties in Washington's offense, giving him flex appeal out of the gates. Despite Washington's early-season struggles, Robinson' Chauncey Billups Jersey s season-long fantasy outlook appears promising given his potential workload. His return results in a rankings drop for fellow RBs Antonio Gibson and J.D. McKi sic, but until we get a better sense of exactly how the Commanders will divvy up their backfield, all are worth no more than flex spots -- and even that might be optimistic.WEEK 5 STANDARD RANKINGS: | | | | | Swift (shoulder) was inactive for the Lions' Week 4 home lo s to the Seahawks after getting banged up in Week 3. We'll know more on his status for Detroit's Week 5 road test in New England once the Lions release their official injury report on Wednesday, but it seems unlikely Swift returns to the field this week after coach Dan Campbell initially suggested Swift could be out Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk Jersey until after the Lions' Week 6 bye.With Swift sidelined, Jamaal Williams remains a must-start RB1. Craig Reynolds played le s than expected last week, ceding touches to Justin Jackson. Neither are fantasy considerations unle s Williams also gets hurt.WEEK 5 PPR RANKINGS: | | Saben Lee Jersey | | | Montgomery (ankle, knee) failed to suit up in the Bears' Week 4 road lo s to the Giants. He was listed as "DNP" in practice last week but was seen working out on the field in New York this past Sunday.Head coach Matt Eberflus called Montgomery "day-to-day" last week, and there's a chance he returns to practice and game action this week. His potential return muddies up the Bears' backfield, and we'll have a better sense of his Week 5 prospects once Chicago releases their initial injury report on Wednesday. As long as Montgomery is out, Khalil Herbert will be a must-start.Kamara (ribs) was a surprise inactive for the Saints' Week 4 matchup against the Vikings in London, coming as a shock for many fantasy owners who might have left him in their starting lineups.Fellow RB Latavius Murray was elevated to the active roster ahead of last Sunday's game, as Kamara's status for Week 5 is unclear at the moment. If Kamara were to mi s another week, Mark Ingram, who disappointed last week, has RB2 upside now that Murray is on the Broncos' practice squad.Edwards (knee) and is eligible to come off the PUP list this Louis King Jersey week. It's unlikely Edwards makes his season debut this Sunday night against the Bengals, but his return is nearing.Edward's reinsertion to the Ravens' backfield certainly complicates things, as JK Dobbins was starting to see his workload ramp up and Justice Hill had carved out a role in the running game. Edwards might be worth a waiver claim as a potential handcuff for Dobbins.
