2026 Week 6 Fantasy Football Injury Reaction: A.J. Brown, TreVeyon Henderson, Will Campbell Questionable vs. Jets

Three Patriots starters are listed questionable for Sunday, with final decisions coming Saturday — here's what it means for your lineup.

Three New England Patriots starters — wide receiver A.J. Brown, running back TreVeyon Henderson, and offensive tackle Will Campbell — are all officially questionable for Sunday's Week 6 game against the Jets, according to ProFootballTalk (NBC Sports). All three were limited participants in practice all week, and head coach Mike Vrabel indicated the team won't make final decisions until Saturday.

TreVeyon Henderson

Henderson (ankle) is the most urgent fantasy call here. He's been limited all week and remains questionable with no firm timeline given beyond Vrabel's "see how they come in" framework. If Henderson can't go, check the Patriots' depth chart for his handcuff — that back slides immediately into a must-start or high-priority waiver add (waiver wire = the pool of unowned free-agent players) depending on your league. Don't wait on this one: lock in your decision Saturday once practice reports and Vrabel's pregame comments drop.

A.J. Brown

Brown's situation adds a roster-management wrinkle beyond just the injury tag — Vrabel confirmed that if Brown plays, the team must first activate him to the 53-man roster, meaning this isn't just a game-time decision but also a front-office move. Brown (ankle) is questionable, and Vrabel said Friday he "looks OK" while noting conditioning is still being evaluated. In PPR formats (points per reception), Brown is a high-ceiling play when healthy, but his week-to-week value is zero if he stays sidelined. Don't risk a dead roster spot — have a confirmed backup ready.

Will Campbell

Campbell (knee) matters most as a downstream concern. If the starting offensive tackle misses Sunday, it could affect pass protection for quarterback Drake Maye, who is off the injury report and expected to play. A degraded line hurts the entire Patriots passing game, which in turn tempers upside for any Patriots skill players you're rostering this week — Brown and Henderson included.

The common thread: all three decisions land Saturday. Set a reminder, check Vrabel's pregame availability report, and don't lock in any Patriots starter before that information is out.
