The Facts:
Following up on a
previous item, wide receiver Darrius Heyward-Bey practiced for the first time since being hospitalized with a concussion and strained neck after a absorbing a brutal helmet-to-helmet hit by Steelers safety Ryan Mundy. Heyward-Bey was limited to individual drills Tuesday, as the Raiders held the first of two practices this week. Barring a setback, Heyward-Bey should be ready for a challenging Week 6 road game in Atlanta.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
DHB took a scary hit so it's great that he was able to return to practice, even in a limited capacity. Oakland's bye week gives Heyward-Bey two full weeks to recover and gear up for the Falcons in Week 6. We liked Heyward-Bey as a WR3/WR4 heading into the season, but he's gotten off to a slow start—nine catches for 98 yards and a touchdown. There is a good chance he was dropped in many fantasy leagues, so if you're looking for a speculative add in deeper leagues, DHB is worth consideration.
