Lions WR Josh Reynolds (knee) is active for today’s game vs. the Cowboys. He’ll be Detroit’s #2 WR if that knee holds up. But Reynolds would be a risky fantasy play after getting in just a limited practice on Friday.
Lions RB D'Andre Swift (ankle, shoulder) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Cowboys. He got in 3 limited practices this week, seemingly giving him a good chance to be back for Week 8. Swift’s absence today leaves RB Jamaal Williams as Detroit’s lead ball-carrier vs. the Cowboys’ 5th-ranked RB defense. See where Williams sits in the Week 7 RB Rankings.
Titans WR Kyle Philips (hamstring) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Colts. He hurt his hamstring in Friday’s practice. There’s minimal fantasy impact here.
The Giants have placed EDGE Azeez Ojulari on IR after he suffered a setback with his calf injury this week, according to ESPN's Jordan Ranaan. The 2nd-year player had already missed the previous 2 games. He'll now sit out for at least the next 4. Edge players Oshane Ximines and Jihad Ward stand to benefit from Ojulari's absence. Ximines is out for today's game against the Jaguars with a quad injury, which should leave Ward and Kayvon Thibodeaux playing large snap shares. The Giants also plan to play S/LB Landon Collins for the 1st time since signing him ahead of the Week 5 win over the Packers. We'll see how large a role Collins commands amid an evolving LB corps.
Broncos QB Russell Wilson has a partially torn hamstring, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports. That tends to be a multi-week injury, per Rapoport, so "there was virtually no chance" Denver was letting Wilson play vs. the Jets today. The Broncos play the Jaguars in London next week and then get a Week 9 bye, so it seems likeliest that Week 10 is the next time we see Wilson. We'll see how QB Brett Rypien fares today.
There's "optimism" that Ravens WR Rashod Bateman (foot) plays vs. the Browns today, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Bateman has missed the past 2 games but "practiced well" this week, per Rapoport. We'll get Baltimore's inactives around 11:30 am ET.
Patriots QB Mac Jones (ankle) is "on track" to start Monday night's game vs. the Bears, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Jones took the "bulk" of the 1st-team reps in Saturday's practice, per Rapoport. Jones was struggling before going down with that high-ankle sprain in Week 3, and it figures to be a run-heavy attack from New England on Monday night. That leaves Jones as a weak QB2.
NFL Network's Ian Rapoport calls WR Jahan Dotson (hamstring) a "long shot" to play vs. the Packers today. That's not a surprise after Dotson re-injured that hamstring in Thursday's practice. With WR Dyami Brown (groin) out, Cam Sims will operate as Washington's #3 WR behind Terry McLaurin and Curtis Samuel.
Jaguars WR Marvin Jones told NFL Network's Tom Pelissero that he'll play vs. the Giants today. Jones was limited in practice all week after missing last Sunday’s loss to the Colts, so there's still elevated risk here. Try to avoid Jones in Week 7 fantasy lineups.
Raiders WR Hunter Renfrow (hip) is expected to play vs. the Texans today, per ESPN's Adam Schefter. Renfrow was added to the injury report and sidelined on Thursday but returned to a limited practice on Friday. He's listed as questionable. The hip issue obviously adds risk to Renfrow's Week 7 fantasy profile -- but Vegas could really use him with TE Darren Waller out.
The Chiefs gave 1st-team reps to RB Isiah Pacheco in practice this week and plan to start him over Clyde Edwards-Helaire against the 49ers, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. CEH "will still have a key role on offense," and we assume Jerick McKinnon will continue to be heavily involved. But this is the latest signal of dissatisfaction with Edwards-Helaire, who played fewer snaps than McKinnon in 3 of the past 4 games. Pick up Pacheco where available ahead of today's game.
Seahawks WR Tyler Lockett (hamstring) is expected to play Sunday against the Chargers, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter. Lockett missed practice all week and still carries some risk. The upside has him in WR2 range in our Week 7 rankings, though.
ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports that Chargers WR Keenan Allen (hamstring) “wants to see how he feels Sunday before making a final decision“ on whether he’ll play. It seems Allen and the Chargers would like to wait until after the Week 8 bye. We’ll see about his status as Sunday plays out, but don’t wait on Allen for your fantasy football lineups.
New 49ers RB Christian McCaffrey is expected to play Sunday against the Chiefs. ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports that the team has a “package of plays” for him after McCaffrey dove into learning the offense. We’ll all be guessing at just how much McCaffrey gets the ball. Check Sunday morning for our most up-to-date projections
The Ravens expect TE Mark Andrews (knee) to play Sunday against the Browns, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter. Listed as questionable, Andrews belongs in all fantasy lineups this week.
The Lions don’t expect RB D’Andre Swift (shoulder) to play Sunday against the Cowboys, according to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler. That would keep Jamaal Williams in the backfield lead, with Craig Reynolds and Justin Jackson factoring in for minor roles
Ravens RB Gus Edwards (knee) has been activated from the PUP list and will play vs. the Browns on Sunday. It'll be his 1st action since tearing his ACL in September of 2021. Even with RB J.K. Dobbins on IR, this Baltimore backfield is as muddy as ever. Edwards, Kenyan Drake and Justice Hill all have a chance to lead the way in carries this weekend. Our best guess is that Edwards will be limited in his return and that Drake will edge out Hill in terms of volume -- but none of the 3 is a safe Week 7 fantasy play.
Patriots WRs Nelson Agholor (hamstring) and Kendrick Bourne (toe) are listed as questionable for Monday night's game vs. the Bears. Neither should be in your Week 7 fantasy plans. Jakobi Meyers, DeVante Parker and Tyquan Thornton will operate as New England's top 3 WRs.
Chargers RB Joshua Kelley (knee) will miss at least the next 4 games after landing on IR on Saturday. His absence leaves Sony Michel as Los Angeles' #2 RB for now. We'll see if rookie RB Isaiah Spiller can make a push for that job.
The Lions placed WR D.J. Chark (ankle) on IR. So he'll miss at least the next 4 games as he apparently deals with a setback with the ankle he fractured in September of 2021. Feel free to cut Chark from fantasy rosters.
