Cardinals are finalizing a trade of Marvin Harrison Jr. with the Texans the lead suitor; Jefferson, Chase, and Higgins all cleared questionable tags to play in Week 5.

Justin Jeffersoninjury update

injury

Jefferson active for Vikings at New Orleans

Justin Jefferson (ankle), listed questionable after a pregame workout evaluation, was activated for Sunday's game at the Saints. He'd been limited in practice three straight days working back from an ankle sprain suffered earlier in the season.

Fantasy take

Jefferson's playing status update doesn't change the underlying read: the ankle required a pregame check and three days of limited practice, and he cleared it. No usage or role data yet attaches to the activation, so the workload question gets answered in-game rather than beforehand. Addison, Hockenson, and the backfield group take whatever snap-share implications come with it once Jefferson's actual reps show up.

Ja'Marr Chaseinjury update

injury

Chase and Higgins both active at Miami

Ja'Marr Chase (concussion protocol) and Tee Higgins (groin/neck) both carried questionable tags into Sunday and were cleared to play at Miami. Higgins returned to full practice participation Friday after beginning the week as a non-participant.

Fantasy take

Both receivers returning together restores Cincinnati's full target distribution rather than the concentrated look Chase saw in multi-game stretches without Higgins last season, when Chase's target share has run as high as 51% in a single outing. Higgins practicing fully by Friday removes the in-week uncertainty that typically caps a questionable tag's workload on the injury side, pointing to his usual role rather than a limited snap count.

injury

McLaurin active but limited; Diggs ruled out vs. Giants

Terry McLaurin (hamstring) is active for Sunday's game against the Giants but isn't expected to be a full go, per reporter Mike Garafolo. Stefon Diggs (hamstring) was ruled out for the same game.

Fantasy take

Terry McLaurin has drawn a team-high 9 targets in each of his last two outings, Week 2 against Dallas and Week 3 against Seattle, catching 6 of 9 for 77 yards and a touchdown in the latter. He now plays limited with Stefon Diggs out, the receiver who started opposite him in Week 1 before Diggs' current injury. Jayden Daniels' remaining options against the Giants are Jacory Croskey-Merritt and Rachaad White at running back and Chig Okonkwo, Jaylin Lane, Dyami Brown, Treylon Burks, and Luke McCaffrey at the other skill spots.
