Patrick Surtain II Fantasy Overview

Texans WR Nico Collins (concussion) graduated to a full practice on Thursday. He's on track to be cleared for this weekend's game vs. the Broncos. Collins catches a break in that one with All-Pro CB Pat Surtain out with a pectoral injury. WR Christian Kirk (hamstring) was also a full-go on Thursday, setting him up to play against Denver.

Broncos CB Pat Surtain II left Sunday's game agains the Chargers with a concussion. He entered the week outside the top 70 DBs in fantasy points per game, so there's not much IDP impact here. But missing their lead corner obviously hurts a Denver team D that has ranked among the best in fantasy so far. His absence would help Saints WRs in their Week 7 matchup if Surtain remains out. Of course, Chris Olave sustained a concussion Sunday as well. We'll see about both situations as the week goes on.

Broncos LB Josey Jewell (calf) was limited for Wednesday's practice. That matches his participation level from Friday's practice. Jewell entered Sunday's game against Houston questionable but missed his 2nd straight contest. Opening this week limited suggests he's likely nearing a return. We'll see if he's ready to face the 49ers on Sunday night. CB Patrick Surtain (shoulder) and EDGE Randy Gregory (knee) missed practice. Surtain left Week 2 with the injury. Gregory has played through the knee issue each of the 1st 2 games.

Broncos OLB Malik Reed (hip), CB Patrick Surtain II (knee), LB Baron Browning (back) and DE Shelby Harris (illness) are active for today's game against the Eagles. All entered the day questionable.
