Week 6 injury updates
Injuries are a fact of life in the NFL and in the fantasy streets, so let’s take a good look around.

The Bills could be without two top offensive weapons in RB James Cook (toe) and Khalil Shakir (ankle), both of whom did not practice Thursday ahead of Monday night’s showdown against the Jets. WR Curtis Samuel (toe) was also limited to start the week. That doesn’t bode well for Allen, whose fantasy prospects already looked suspect in this matchup.
Brian Robinson Jr. (knee) looks like a game-time decision for the showdown against Baltimore. Austin Ekeler and Jeremy McNichols would likely see more work if Robinson can’t go.
