Here’s a quick look at some of the bigger stories in the NFL and how they’ll affect your fantasy team in Week 5.

QB Tom Brady and his sore throwing shoulder are back on the injury report, but those of you with Brady on your fantasy team can relax, he’s probable and is expected to start against the Bills Monday night.

Looking for the most in-depth and up-to-date information for your fantasy football draft? NFL.com has everything you need to dominate your league, including Michael Fabiano’s updated running back rankings.

Sammy Morris has 67 scrimmage yards and LaMont Jordan has scored two touchdowns in the first quarter against the Cardinals.

Patriots: QB Matt Gutierrez (3rd), DB Jason Webster, RB LaMont Jordan, DB Mike Richardson, T Wesley Britt, G Billy Yates, TE Tyson DeVree, LB Adalius Thomas.
Dolphins: QB John Beck (3rd), WR Ernest Wilford, DB Joey Thomas, G Shawn Murphy, DE Lionel Dotson, T Nate Garner, TE Joey Haynos, DE Rodrique Wright.

NFL Network’s Kara Henderson reports from Gillette Stadium that Patriots RB Sammy Morris is inactive and will not play against the Bills due to his lingering knee injury.

On Saturday, the Patriots downgraded five players ahead of Sunday night’s matchup with the Indianapolis Colts. Running backs Sammy Morris and LaMont Jordan, CB Lewis Sanders, LB Shawn Crable and WR Mathew Slater were all ruled out.

Tom Brady might be the Patriots most disconcerting long-range issue. But their most pressing short-term one for Sunday’s game against the St. Louis Rams is who plays running back.

Broncos inactives: WR Brandon Stokley, RB Selvin Young, RB Ryan Torrain, DE John Engelberger, T Erik Pears, TE Tony Scheffler, DT Nic Clemons, DT Josh Shaw.

In a surprising move, the New England Patriots have placed RB Laurence Maroney on injured reserve.

He will miss the rest of the season.

Minnesota RB Adrian Peterson, a game-time decision because of a sore hamstring, started on Sunday against the Carolina Panthers.

Laurence Maroney has left today’s game against the Jets with an injured shoulder. We’re hearing that he’s questionable to return. Look for Sammy Morris and LaMont Jordan to see the bulk of the carries while he’s out.
