Injury report: Cam Newton, Trevor Siemian among QBs in question

Here are some of the injury questions that will impact fantasy owners the most in Week 5.

QB Carson Palmer, Cardinals (out)
There just isn't enough time for him to pass concussion protocol in time for Thursday night’s game. Downgrade all receivers with Drew Stanton under center.

WR Kevin White, Bears (out)
Fractured fibula has landed him on injured reserve. Eddie Royal (111 yards, TD in Week 4) gets a major boost in value.

RB Ryan Mathews, Eagles (questionable)
Bye week has given his ailing ankle extra time to heal, so his return as feature back comes at a good time vs. a welcoming Lions defense.

Fantasy football rankings: Week 5

WR Eric Decker, Jets (questionable)
He’s chosen not to have surgery for a torn rotator cuff, but still isn’t healthy enough for fantasy owners to count on this week.

RB Dwayne Washington, Lions (questionable)
Taking over as the starter, he sustained an ankle injury on Sunday and has not practiced yet this week. Zach Zenner would be next in line.

RB Kenneth Dixon, Ravens (questionable)
Could make his NFL debut after sitting out the first four weeks with a knee injury. Justin Forsett’s release could mean immediate touches for Dixon.

QB Trevor Siemian, Broncos (questionable)
Exited early in Week 4 and has yet to practice due to a sprain in his non-throwing shoulder. He or Paxton Lynch will have a great matchup vs. Atlanta.

TE Tyler Eifert, Bengals (questionable)
Expected to make his season debut Sunday, he apparently suffered a setback with his surgically repaired ankle that may keep him out again.

QB Cam Newton, Panthers (questionable)

He’ll get an extra day to recover from his concussion symptoms. Newton owners should add backup Derek Anderson and play whichever one starts vs. Tampa Bay.

RB Charles Sims, Buccaneers (questionable)
With starter Doug Martin already out, the status of Sims’ knee is even more important with Bucs playing Monday night.
