Here are the key injury updates heading into the early games of Week Six:
- For the Lions, both WR Calvin Johnson (knee) and QB Matthew Stafford (knee) are inactive. QB Daunte Culpepper will start at Green Bay, and WR Dennis Northcutt will replace Johnson.
- Steelers RB Willie Parker (toe) is active vs. the Browns. He's still expected to back up Rashard Mendenhall, however.
- Vikings WR Percy Harvin (shoulder) is active vs. the Ravens. He's not a bad fantasy start in this one, as Minnesota could throw quite a bit.
- For the Saints, both RBs Pierre Thomas (hamstring) and Mike Bell (knee) are active vs. the Giants. Thomas remains the starter, making him a decent fantasy play.
- For the Giants, QB Eli Manning (heel) and RB Ahmad Bradshaw (ankle) are both active at New Orleans. Use them as you normally would.
