Parham suffered the injury in the Chargers' Week 5 win over the Las Vegas Raiders. X-rays came back negative and the Chargers are on bye this week, so Parham could be cleared by their next game on Monday, October 16 against the Dallas Cowboys. Gerald Everett will likely play more snaps and run more routes if Parham misses any time.

Parham is averaging 6.1 FanDuel points per game and has 6 catches on 8 targets for 33 yards and 3 touchdowns. He played roughly half of the offensive snaps in his three healthy games, but Parham is averaging just 0.69 yards per route run overall.

Dotson's consecutive limited practices should put the 23-year old in good position to play on Thursday night. In a matchup against a Chicago Bears' unit ranked 18th in FanDuel points (29.8) allowed per game to wideouts, our models project Dotson to score 8.4 FanDuel points.

Dotson's current Week 5 projection includes 3.7 receptions for 47.6 yards on 5.8 targets.

The Packers started their Week 5 practice a day early since they played on Thursday night last week. Musgrave exited that game with a concussion, but it looks like he could clear protocol for Monday night's matchup with the Las Vegas Raiders. Josiah Degura will take over as the starting tight end if Musgrave is unavailable. He played a season-high 36 snaps on offense last Thursday and caught 4 passes on 4 targets for 34 yards.

Musgrave is the TE20 in numberFire's Week 5 rankings and our models project him for 5.5 FanDuel points, with 4.2 targets, 2.7 receptions, and 28.2 yards. The Raiders are 22nd in the NFL this season in FanDuel points allowed per game to opposing tight ends.

Samuel's limited session is a positive development after he was listed as a DNP on Monday. Expect the veteran to suit up for Thursday's Week 5 matchup against a Chicago Bear's defense allowing 29.8 FanDuel points per game to receivers.

Samuel's current projection includes 2.7 receptions for 30.3 yards on 3.9 target.

Pickett was initially expected to miss some time with the knee injury he suffered in Week 4, but there's a chance he will be able to play this Sunday against the Baltimore Ravens. The Steelers have their bye in Week 6, so it would make sense if they want to hold Pickett out until they return. Mitchell Trubisky will start if Pickett is unavailable, which could actually be an upgrade for an offense that has been abysmal through four games.

Pickett has been the second-least efficient quarterback in the NFL with at least 100 dropbacks this season, according to numberFire's advanced metrics. numberFire's models project Trubisky for 14.9 FanDuel points in Week 5 if he starts, with 222.0 passing yards, 1.06 touchdowns, and 0.8 interceptions. The Ravens are allowing the third-fewest FanDuel points per game to quarterbacks this season.

Freiermuth is reportedly expected to miss 2-3 weeks with the hamstring injury he suffered in the Steelers' Week 4 loss to the Houston Texans. 2023 third-round pick Darnell Washington and Connor Heyward played the other tight end snaps in Sunday's loss to the Houston Texans, but everyone on the Steelers offense is a hard sell right now, especially the backup tight ends.

Washington played 25 snaps in Week 4 and hauled in his only target for 10 yards. Heyward logged 15 snaps and wasn't targeted. They are both outside the top-20 tight ends in numberFire's Week 5 rankings. The Ravens have only given up 99 scoreless yards and 18.1 total FanDuel points to tight ends this season.
