It has been a painful week for some fantasy wide receivers, from Keenan Allen and Emmanuel Sanders (among others) leaving with injuries Sunday to Odell Beckham Jr. hoping to play through a hamstring injury on Monday night.

Is Eddie Lacy hurt?

The Packers" Eddie Lacy wasn"t listed on the injury report this week, but he had just four carries Sunday against the Chargers, while James Starks had 10totes (for 112 yards). It will be interesting to see if Lacy suffered a setback with his troublesome ankle during the game, or if the Packers simply just rode the hot hand Sunday. We"re sure to hearmore about the Packers" backfield leading up to Week 8 after the Packers" bye, but Starks is obviously a must-own right now.

Will Odell Beckham Jr. play Monday night?

The Giants"Odell Beckham (hamstring) is questionable for Week 6against the Eagles. OBJ didn"t practice at all last week, but all indications are that the Giants expect him to play against the Eagles. Fantasy owners should have a backup plan, though. Rueben Randle (hamstring) is probable and would be an easy sub-in, or you could opt for the Eagles" Josh Huff.

Emmanuel Sandersinjury update

The Broncos"Emmanuel Sanders suffered a shoulder injury late in Sunday"s game against the Browns and couldn"t finish the overtime contest. Sanderslanded hard on the shoulder while attempting to make a diving catch. Though he tried to return in overtime, Sanders lasted just one play before exiting for good. The only good news here is that the Broncos are heading into a bye week, givingSanders two full weeks to heal.

Keenan Allen injury update

The Chargers"Keenan Allen left Sunday"s game against the Packers in the third quarter with a hip injury while making his 14th catch of the day. He also tried to returnbut, like Sanders, wasn"t able to finish the contest either.Dontrelle Inman picked up the slack in Allen"s absence, and could see more targets if Keenan misses more time. Of course,Malcom Floyd and tight ends Antonio Gates and Ladarius Green would also be fighting for Philip Rivers" attention.

Jeremy Maclin suffers concussion

The Chiefs"Jeremy Maclin left Sunday"s game against theVikings with a concussion. Maclin, who had to be guided to the locker room, will have to pass through the league"s concussion protocol before getting back on the field. Albert Wilson could be the Chiefs" No. 1 receiver if Maclin misses time.

Sammy Watkins injured (again)

The Bills"Sammy Watkins, who was returning from a calf injury, suffered anankle injury on a touchdown playagainst the Bengals near the endof the first half. Watkins needed help getting to the locker room and was seen oncrutches after halftime. With Percy Harvinexpected to miss significant time with a hip injury, the Bills receiving corps is dangerously thin. Robert Woods looks like the best, healthiest bet right now.

Allen Robinson injury update

The Jaguars"Allen Robinson leftWeek 6 against the Texans with an apparent injury after he banged legs withTexans S Lonnie Ballentinein thefourthquarter. Robinson went to the locker room and was spotted using a crutch after the game, butinitial reports are that it"s just a leg contusion.
