Week 5 vs Bengals: Injury Report
The injury report for the Week 5 matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals in Foxborough has been released:
The notable observation here is that Collins, Hightower and Chandler (we assume Jones) are all listed as questionable. The Patriots pass rush could be virtually none existent come Sunday if both Hightower and Chandler Jones are out, while Collins would also be missed for his tackles and general athletic play.
With Cameron Fleming also missing, the offensive line is most likely in for yet another tough run, though it potentially gives someone an opportunity to step up - although it's not like anyone other than Vollmer has shown any signs of doing so through the first four games. Gronkowski is again listed as probable, though you should certainly still include him in your fantasy team this week - that is if you believe he will be capable of putting up points.
