Marvin Harrison Jr. is being evaluated for a concussion and has been ruled out, leaving the Cardinals’ pass game thinner as Kyler Murray and Trey Benson deal with injuries. Zay Jones and Michael Wilson are next up as options for fantasy managers to monitor. Deebo Samuel’s heel issue and Terry McLaurin/Noah Brown absence highlight a week of shifting targets across Washington and Atlanta, while Drake London steps into a top-10 role behind Mooney’s injury absence. Xavier Worthy is cleared for Week 6 with the Chiefs.

For fantasy teams, the immediate ripple effects center on who steps up in Arizona’s receiving corps and how Washington’s pass volume adjusts with McLaurin and Brown out. Drake London becomes a focal point for Atlanta, while Mooney’s absence primes London, London’s targets, and the Falcons’ other receivers. Stay alert to Friday practice updates and game-time statuses, especially for Murray and Harrison’s replacements.

Terry McLaurin drills a return timeline as Washington sits at 3-2. No surgery after a quad/groin/hip concern; Week 6 optimism from Dan Quinn, but practice progress remains the key. In McLaurin’s absence, Deebo Samuel Sr., Jaylin Lane, and Luke McCaffrey have shouldered targets, with Noah Brown and Sam Cosmi contributing to a viable fantasy floor. A healthy McLaurin could promptly reclaim WR2/WR1 upside once back in the lineup, especially against Chicago.

Watch Week 6 practice; if McLaurin suits up, expect a return to top target status and red-zone involvement. If not, Samuel, Lane, and McCaffrey carry the upside, while Brown and Cosmi offer ancillary value. Week 6 vs. Bears is the litmus test for Washington’s aerial plan over the next stretch.

Washington expects a spark in Week 5 as Jayden Daniels returns to start vs. the Chargers after a knee injury, practicing fully all week. Deebo Samuel and Mike Sainristil are back, while Terry McLaurin, Noah Brown and Sam Cosmi are sidelined. Daron Payne will start despite a knee tweak. With Daniels healthy and a fuller WR corps on tap, Washington aims to push past a daunting LA defense.

Daniels’ return injects mobility and rhythm into the offense, elevating the passing game when matched with Samuel’s top-tier target share. The absence of McLaurin creates volatility for other receivers, but Payne’s presence anchors the defense and could keep the game closer, opening fantasy upside for Washington’s Week 5 contributors against the Chargers.
