Ashton Jeanty a Risky Play in Week 5 Due to Questionable Status

Friday, October 9, 1:55 PM

Las Vegas Raiders running back Ashton Jeanty (ankle, foot) goes from being a must-start to a risky play in Week 5 against the New England Patriots. The second-year running back missed practice on Friday and has been listed as questionable to play due to an ankle/foot injury. It's an unfortunate turn of events, especially against a Patriots defense that is allowing 104 rushing yards per game and four rushing TDs on the season. Jeanty was held to 15 carries for 58 yards in a 30-27 loss to the Chiefs in Week 4, and still hasn't recorded a touchdown this season. Even if Jeanty plays on Sunday, RB2 Mike Washington Jr. appears capable of shouldering a heavier workload. Fantasy managers should keep a close eye on Jeanty's status through Saturday before choosing to play him.

Cam Skattebo Will Play in Week 5

Friday, October 9, 6:03 PM

New York Giants running back Cam Skattebo (shoulder) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Sunday's game against the Washington Commanders, Dan Salomone of the team's official website reports. Skattebo was limited in practice on Wednesday and Thursday this week while he nurses a shoulder injury. The second-year back is dealing with a little muscle tightness in his shoulder, but that won't stop him from suiting up for this weekend. He'll continue to operate as the workhorse back as he has recorded 118 yards on 38 carries over the last two games. Fantasy managers should feel comfortable plugging him in as a solid RB2 play against the Commanders this weekend.
