After no byes in Week 12, Carolina and Arizona are off this week. That takes away Kyler Murray, DeAndre Hopkins, James, Marquise Brown, D’Onta Foreman, and D.J. Moore.

With the NFL season drawing closer, any injuries suffered at this point have the potential to linger into the regular season.

Here are the updates that you need to know on some potential top fantasy players....
West and Davis aren’t the only potential sleepers, though. Willie Snead continues to look like the Saints’ best receiver; Blake Bortles continues to take advantage of favorable matchups; and Charles Sims continues to post flex-worthy stats even in the face of a three-TD day from Doug Martin. Overall, there are several players who look worthy of a waiver claim or at least a free-agent pickup this week. MORE: All Week 6 waiver-wire pickups...
It’s likely there are a few spots on your roster that are revolving doors at this point – or, you should, at least. Yes, it’s nice to hold onto your favorite preseason sleepers, but after four games, it’s time to start cutting some dead weight. Is dropping Duke Johnson to grab a flex WR for the week a risky move?

But as we said, it wasn’t all bad. Top tight ends like Gronkowski, Travis Kelce and Delanie Walker put up big numbers, while sleepers like Hunter Henry, Jason Witten, Benjamin Watson and Jack Doyle showcased why they were sleepers in the first place. Rookies David Njoku and Gerald Everett came through with big games, putting themselves on the waiver-wire map given all the injuries. For now, Olsen is the only notable TE we took out of our rankings, but as more information trickles in about Gronk, Reed, Graham, and Eifert, we’ll be ready to add Dwayne Allen, Vernon Davis, Luke Willson, and Tyler Kroft....
But a broken wrist cut short Vereen’s breakout before Week 2. Now ,after a stint on the short-term I.R., he is set to return for Week 11. Unfortunately, the time for Vereen to shine was the early part of the season, when the Patriots were devoid of proven options. Now Gronkowski and Danny Amendola are back from injury and rookie Aaron Dobson has stepped up.
