Buccaneers | Emeka Ebguka not on field Friday Fri Oct 17, 05:03 PM
Tampa Bay Buccaneers WR Emeka Egbuka (hamstring) did not participate in practice Friday, Oct. 17.
| Footballguys view: Fantasy managers should plan to be without Egbuka this week. He'll have another opportunity to test his hamstring on Saturday, but there hasn't been much optimism regarding his availability. With a Monday night game, managers who don't have an early-game option should look at pivots. A Monday Night doubleheader gives more flexibility than you'd typically have. |
Rams | Tutu Atwell will play in Week 7 Fri Oct 17, 05:00 PM
Los Angeles Rams WR Tutu Atwell (hamstring) practiced in full on Friday, Oct. 17, and no longer appears on the injury report.
| Footballguys view: Atwell logged back-to-back full practices, so there's no reason to have any concern about his hamstring. With Puka Nacua out, Atwell and Jordan Whittington should both see extra opportunities. We've got Atwell ranked as WR61, though, making him an extremely risky flex. |

Rams | Tyler Higbee will play in Week 7 Fri Oct 17, 04:56 PM
Los Angeles Rams TE Tyler Higbee (rest) did not practice on Friday, Oct. 17, and no longer appears on the injury report.
| Footballguys view: Nothing but a veteran rest day here. Higbee is coming off a season-high 40 yards and his first score of the season. He should see some extra work with Puka Nacua out. However, it's hard to trust him as more than a desperation streamer. |

Rams | Week 7 injury report for Los Angeles Rams Fri Oct 17, 04:51 PM
Los Angeles Rams WR Puka Nacua (ankle) and OL Rob Havenstein (ankle) did not practice all week and have been ruled out for Week 7 against the Jacksonville Jaguars. LB Byron Young (rest), OL Alaric Jackson (rest), and TE Tyler Higbee (rest) did not practice on Friday, but no longer appear on the injury report. TE Colby Parkinson (concussion), LB Omar Speights (ankle), WR Tutu Atwell (hamstring), RB Blake Corum (ankle), and LB Josaiah Stewart (illness) practiced in full on Friday and no longer appear on the injury report.

Washington Commanders WR Terry McLaurin (quadriceps) did not participate in practice Friday, Oct. 17, and has been ruled out for Week 7. DE Dorance Armstrong (hamstring) did not practice and is listed as questionable. TE Zach Ertz (calf, shoulder) and WR Deebo Samuel (heel) were limited during practice and are listed as questionable. OG Samuel Cosmi (knee) and CB Jonathan Jones (hamstring) fully participated in practice but are listed as questionable. QB Jayden Daniels (knee), LB Ale Kaho (illness) and RB Chris Rodriguez Jr. (calf) fully participated in practice and are not on the injury report.

Commanders | Chris Rodriguez should be available Fri Oct 17, 04:45 PM
Washington Commanders RB Chris Rodriguez Jr. (knee) fully participated in practice Friday, Oct. 17, and is not on the injury report for Week 7.
| Footballguys view: Rodriguez started the week with back-to-back DNPs, so his upgrade to a full practice is a bit surprising. Still, Jacory Croskey-Merritt has firmly taken hold of this backfield. Rodriguez is only worth a stash in the deepest leagues. |
Commanders | Jayden Daniels set to play Fri Oct 17, 04:41 PM
Washington Commanders QB Jayden Daniels (knee) fully participated in practice Friday, Oct. 17, and is not on the injury report for Week 7.
| Footballguys view: Daniels has been on the injury report since returning from a knee sprain he suffered in Week 2. His rushing has been slightly limited relative to last year. However, a matchup this weekend against the Cowboys should help him get closer to the production we saw last year. |
Commanders | Deebo Samuel listed as questionable Fri Oct 17, 04:35 PM
Washington Commanders WR Deebo Samuel (heel) was limited during practice Friday, Oct. 17, and is listed as questionable for Week 7.
| Footballguys view: Samuel was limited on Friday after sitting out Wednesday and Thursday. Remember, this is the third week he's been listed as questionable with the same injury. Samuel finished as WR7 overall against the Chargers in Week 5, Jayden Daniels' first week back from a knee injury. But he was WR61 against the Bears this past week, a game that saw Daniels throw three touchdown passes. Now we'll have to wait out a game-time decision in a late-afternoon game against a Dallas defense that's the most generous in the league against opposing wideouts. Make sure you have a pivot in place. |

Commanders | Zach Ertz's status in question Fri Oct 17, 04:34 PM
Washington Commanders TE Zach Ertz (shoulder) was limited during practice Friday, Oct. 17, and is listed as questionable for Week 7.
| Footballguys view: Although he managed to get in a full practice on Thursday, he was limited on Wednesday and Friday before drawing the questionable designation. As CBSSports.com notes, the focus largely has been on Washington's wide receivers this week. Deebo Samuel (heel) is also questionable, Terry McLaurin (quad) is ruled out, and Noah Brown (groin) is on IR. Now with Ertz also questionable, we'll all be watching for game-time decisions on Samuel and the veteran TE. Remember, it's a late-afternoon kickoff in Dallas, so fantasy managers will need options in place if they don't go. |

Chiefs | Rashee Rice set to make his season debut Fri Oct 17, 04:14 PM
Kansas City Chiefs WR Rashee Rice (suspension) is set to make his season debut in Week 7 against the Denver Broncos.
| Footballguys view: ESPN's Jeremy Fowler has reported the Chiefs won't be easing Rice back into action. They will be allocating a heavy workload for him as soon as possible. Rice's Footballguys projection this week, he's WR8, reflects that belief and our view of what his role will be in a favorable matchup against the Raiders. |

Dolphins | Darren Waller should be available Fri Oct 17, 03:51 PM
Miami Dolphins TE Darren Waller (hip) was limited during practice Friday, Oct. 17, but is not on the injury report for Week 7.
| Footballguys view: As CBSSports.com notes, the 33-year-old tight end's practice reps have been managed throughout the season, but Waller has been effective on game days. Since making his Dolphins debut in Week 4, Waller has compiled a three-game touchdown streak, producing 10 catches for 117 yards and four touchdowns on 12 targets. He's been TE5 over that three-week span. |
Darren Waller player page
Jets | Garrett Wilson given small chance to play Fri Oct 17, 03:48 PM
New York Jets WR Garrett Wilson (knee) did not practice all week and is listed as doubtful for Week 7 against the Carolina Panthers.
| Footballguys view: Wilson has not practiced this week because of a knee injury he suffered in last Sunday's loss to the Broncos. The Jets ended that game with minus-10 net passing yards, and missing Wilson will not do much to help their chances of a more impressive showing this time around. Josh Reynolds, Arian Smith, Allen Lazard, and Tyler Johnson are the other wideouts on the Jets' roster, and we should expect rookie TE Mason Taylor to play a significant role with Wilson all but officially ruled out. |
Browns | Week 7 injury report for Browns Fri Oct 17, 03:44 PM
Cleveland Browns TE David Njoku (knee) did not participate in practice Friday, Oct. 17, and has been ruled out for Week 7. DT Mason Graham (knee) did not practice and is listed as questionable. OT Jack Conklin (concussion) and WR Gage Larvadain (concussion) were limited during practice and are listed as questionable.

Saints | Chris Olave expected to play Fri Oct 17, 03:27 PM
New Orleans Saints WR Chris Olave (hip) fully participated in practice Friday, Oct. 17, and is not on the injury report for Week 7.
| Footballguys view: If you're looking for a locked-in workload, Olave might be your guy. As Late-Round Fantasy's JJ Zachariason noted this week, Olave is averaging a 32.6 percent target share per game, and he's yet to fall below a 25 percent share in a game this year. He's been at 37 and 39 percent over his last two games and has at least 10 targets in all but one game. Olave quietly sits at WR22 on the season. |
Vikings | Carson Wentz named Week 7 starter against Eagles Fri Oct 17, 03:22 PM
Minnesota Vikings QB Carson Wentz will start for the team against the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 7. J.J. McCarthy (ankle) will be the team's emergency quarterback with Max Brosmer backing up Wentz.
| Footballguys view: Wentz will make his fourth start of the season. The Vikings have won two of their first three games with Wentz, who took over after McCarthy suffered his ankle injury. McCarthy, who is officially listed as questionable, has returned to practice on a limited basis. Wentz sustained a shoulder injury in the team's Week 5 win over the Browns in London, but he has been a full participant in practice all week. He was 69-of-100 for 759 yards, five touchdowns, and two interceptions in his first three starts. |

Saints | Alvin Kamara not on injury report Fri Oct 17, 03:10 PM
New Orleans Saints RB Alvin Kamara (ankle) fully participated in practice Friday, Oct. 17, and is not on the injury report for Week 7.
| Footballguys view: Sitting at RB22 through six games, Kamara has averaged a disappointing 11.9 points on the season, with second-year man Kendre Miller playing a greater role than expected. But Kamara's receiving role has grown; he has five or more targets in three straight games now. This week, he gets a fantastic matchup against the Bears, who have given up the third-most fantasy points per game to the position. |
Alvin Kamara player page
Bears | DJ Moore set to play Fri Oct 17, 03:07 PM
Chicago Bears WR DJ Moore (groin, hip) fully participated in practice Friday, Oct. 17, and is not on the injury report for Week 7.
| Footballguys view: The Bears had a brief scare after Monday night's game when Moore was transported to a D.C. hospital for a precautionary check on a groin injury. Moore returned to Chicago on Tuesday and was back on the practice field on Wednesday. Since arriving in Chicago in 2023, Moore has been an iron man. He's yet to miss a game, and that won't be the case on Sunday, although we'll see if his actual role and snap count are limited in the game. If so, expect more opportunities for Luther Burden III. |

Bears | Week 7 injury report for Chicago Fri Oct 17, 03:02 PM

DL Grady Jarrett (knee) and RB D'Andre Swift (groin) were limited in practice on Friday and are listed as questionable. DL Austin Booker (knee), RB Travis Homer (calf), and LB Amen Ogbongbemiga (knee) practiced in full on Friday and are listed as questionable.

Giants | Darius Slayton listed as doubtful Fri Oct 17, 02:45 PM
New York Giants WR Darius Slayton (hamstring) did not practice all week and has been listed as doubtful for Week 7 against the Denver Broncos.
| Footballguys view: Slayton hasn't practiced or played since injuring his hamstring during a Week 5 loss to the Saints. He's now expected to miss a second straight game, opening the door for Jalin Hyatt, Lil'Jordan Humphrey, and Beaux Collins to move up in the rotation behind Wan'Dale Robinson against the Broncos this week. |
Darius Slayton player page
Bears | Questionable tag for D'Andre Swift Fri Oct 17, 02:42 PM
Chicago Bears RB D'Andre Swift (groin) was limited during practice Friday, Oct. 17, and is listed as questionable for Week 7.
| Footballguys view: Earlier today, Bears coach Ben Johnson said he's "hopeful" that Swift will play. After practice, where Swift was limited once again, the running back told reporters he does indeed intend to play against the Saints on Sunday. Swift is coming off his best game of the season, when he tallied 108 rushing yards, 67 receiving yards, and a touchdown against the Commanders. If things change and Swift ends up not suiting up, rookie Kyle Monangai figures to get the nod in his stead with Roschon Johnson backing him up. |

Giants | Week 7 injury report for Giants Fri Oct 17, 02:40 PM
New York Giants LB Swayze Bozeman (ankle), LB Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles (hamstring) and C John Michael Schmitz (concussion) did not participate in practice Friday, Oct. 17, and have been ruled out for Week 7. WR Darius Slayton (hamstring) and DE Chauncey Golston (neck) did not practice and are listed as doubtful. LB Abdul Carter (hamstring) was limited during practice and is listed as questionable. LB Victor Dimukeje (pectoral) fully participated in practice but is listed as questionable. OT Jermaine Eluemunor (back, shoulder), WT Jalin Hyatt (ankle), DT Roy Robertson-Harris (knee), DT D.J. Davidson (knee), CB Paulson Adebo (shoulder) and S Dane Belton (neck) were limited during practice but are not on the injury report.

Commanders | Treylon Burks officially joins PS Fri Oct 17, 02:22 PM
Free-agent WR Treylon Burks (Titans) was signed to the Washington Commanders practice squad Friday, Oct. 17. The team also released WR Tay Martin from their practice squad.
| Footballguys view: Burks played three seasons for the Titans before being waived/injured in late July following a collarbone injury. He was officially waived with an injury settlement on Oct. 7 and went unclaimed. Burks visited both the Broncos and Commanders before signing with Washington, who have been without Terry McLaurin the past three games (and will be without him again this week) and have Noah Brown on IR with a groin injury. In addition, Deebo Samuel is dealing with a lingering heel injury. Previous reports predicted a quick elevation to the regular roster, and Burks worked in a similar offense in college. |
Falcons | Week 7 injury report for Atlanta Fri Oct 17, 02:18 PM
Atlanta Falcons LB Jalon Walker (groin), CB Clark Phillips III (triceps, illness), DB Billy Bowman Jr. (hamstring), and WR Ray-Ray McCloud (non-injury) did not practice all week and have been ruled out. S Jordan Fuller (knee) practiced in full all week but has been ruled out. DL Ta'Quon Graham (calf) practiced in full all week and has been listed as questionable. OT Jake Matthews (ankle) was limited in practice all week and has been listed as questionable. WR Darnell Mooney (hamstring) did not practice Friday, Oct. 17, and has been listed as questionable. DE Leonard Floyd (illness) practiced in full on Friday and no longer appears on the injury report. TE Feleipe Franks (calf) was limited on Friday but is expected to play. DL LaCale London (triceps) practiced in full on Friday but is expected to play.

Falcons | Darnell Mooney questionable for Week 7 Fri Oct 17, 02:06 PM
Atlanta Falcons WR Darnell Mooney (hamstring) did not participate in practice Friday, Oct. 17, and is listed as questionable for Week 7.
| Footballguys view: Mooney is set to be a game-time decision on Sunday night. The veteran continues to nurse a hamstring injury that kept him off the field in Week 6. Mooney's return would be fortuitous as the Falcons have ruled Ray-Ray McCloud out for Sunday's game. He has been a non-participant in practice all week and was a healthy scratch via a coaching decision for Monday's game. |
Darnell Mooney player page
Colts | No timetable for Anthony Richardson Fri Oct 17, 02:04 PM
Indianapolis Colts QB Anthony Richardson (eye) does not have a definite timetable for his recovery, but head coach Shane Steichen said he expects Richardson to return at some point this season.
| Footballguys view: Local observers believe Richardson could return in Week 12, after Indy's bye week. The hope is that the only time he plays the rest of the season is if Indianapolis is blowing out an opponent. Meanwhile, after starter Daniel Jones, the next quarterback up is rookie Riley Leonard. He still might be. Or Indy could replace Leonard with a quarterback the team just added to their practice squad, Brett Rypien. |
Anthony Richardson Sr. player page
Titans | Calvin Ridley ruled out for Week 7 Fri Oct 17, 01:39 PM
Tennessee Titans WR Calvin Ridley (hamstring) will not play in Week 7 against the New England Patriots.
| Footballguys view: Ridley has 16 receptions for 290 yards in six games this season. Veteran receiver Van Jefferson played 44 snaps in place of Ridley and caught four passes for 75 yards against the Raiders. Jefferson is in line to get the start against New England in place of Ridley this Sunday. |
Calvin Ridley player page
Colts | Josh Downs ruled out Fri Oct 17, 01:37 PM
Indianapolis Colts WR Josh Downs (concussion) will not play in the Week 7 game, according to head coach Shane Steichen.
| Footballguys view: Steichen told reporters on Friday that Downs and fellow wideout Ashton Dulin (chest) are both out. WR Adonai Mitchell, who was inactive last week, is also set to play, given that two receivers are out. When Mitchell played in Week 4 against the Rams, he infamously dropped the ball just before making his way into the end zone for a touchdown. "He's bounced back in the right way, he's been in the right mindset," Steichen said of Mitchell on Friday. Mitchell, a second-round pick in 2024, has seven receptions for 137 yards in five games so far this year. |
Josh Downs player page
Cardinals | Emari Demercado to miss Week 7 Fri Oct 17, 01:31 PM
Arizona Cardinals RB Emari Demercado (ankle) has been ruled out of the Week 7 game, according to head coach Jonathan Gannon.
| Footballguys view: As CBSSports.com noted, Demercado hasn't practiced since missing the second half of Sunday's loss to the Colts. Michael Carter took on more passing-down work in Demercado's absence, while Bam Knight got more playing time and carries. Carter and Knight figure to split work against the Packers this Sunday, with D'Ernest Johnson or Jermar Jefferson potentially promoted from the practice squad for depth. |
Patriots | Stefon Diggs questionable for Week 7 Fri Oct 17, 01:30 PM
New England Patriots WR Stefon Diggs (chest) will be questionable for Week 7 against the Tennessee Titans.
| Footballguys view: Diggs had been a limited participant dating back to Wednesday because of a chest injury. The veteran wideout stands with 32 receptions for 387 yards on the season. He played 38 out of 64 offensive snaps in what became a 25-19 win over the New Orleans Saints. Even a somewhat limited workload didn't keep Diggs, coming off last year's torn ACL, from delivering back-to-back 100-yard outings in Weeks 4 and 5. We'll be watching for more on Diggs' status, likely right up through Sunday's kickoff in Tennessee. |
Stefon Diggs player page
Browns | David Njoku will not be available Fri Oct 17, 01:21 PM
Cleveland Browns TE David Njoku (knee) has been ruled out of the Week 7 game.
| Footballguys view: Losing a player like Njoku will affect rookie QB Dillon Gabriel's rhythm in the passing game. The veteran TE has hauled in 223 yards and one touchdown on 23 receptions this season. Against the Steelers, Njoku hauled in a season-low three receptions for 28 yards. The good news? Harold Fannin Jr. is standing by. Fannin might not take over Njoku's specific role in Week 7. Blake Whiteheart is a more traditional tight end, but as far as targets and touches, Fannin is in line for plenty of both. In fact, Fannin's Footballguys projection calls for a TE5 finish against Miami. |
David Njoku player page
Panthers | Ja'Tavion Sanders on track to play Fri Oct 17, 01:20 PM
Carolina Panthers TE Ja'Tavion Sanders (ankle) fully participated in practice Friday, Oct. 17, and is not on the injury report for Week 7.
| Footballguys view: Sanders has hauled in 11 catches for 92 yards in three games this season this season. He has been targeted on 14 occasions, so his return, along with that of WR Jalen Coker, gives Bryce Young a more complete set of weapons to complement rookie Tetairoa McMillian. |
Panthers | Week 7 injury report for Carolina Fri Oct 17, 01:08 PM
Carolina Panthers DE Patrick Jones II (back) did not practice all week and has been ruled out for Week 7 against the New York Jets. G Damien Lewis (shoulder) did not practice all week and is listed as questionable. DL Tershawn Wharton (toe) was limited in practice all week and is listed as questionable. C Austin Corbett (knee), WR Jalen Coker (quad), and OT Taylor Moton (elbow) practiced in full on Friday, Oct. 17, and is listed as questionable. CB Akayleb Evans (hamstring), CB Jaycee Horn (shoulder), RB Chuba Hubbard (calf), and TE Ja'Tavion Sanders (ankle) practiced in full on Friday and no longer appear on the injury report.

Panthers | No designation for Chuba Hubbard Fri Oct 17, 01:05 PM
Updating a previous report, Carolina Panthers RB Chuba Hubbard (calf) fully participated in practice Friday, Oct. 17, and is not on the injury report for Week 7.
| Footballguys view: After he compiled 473 yards from scrimmage in the two games Hubbard missed, it's hard to imagine Rico Dowdle taking a backseat this week. Reports out of Carolina suggest the Panthers have a plan in place. Our Footballguys projections have Dowdle at RB18 and leading the way against the Jets this week, with Hubbard easing back in as RB31. That said, we'll be watching for clues that better define their anticipated roles right up through Sunday's kickoff. |
Chuba Hubbard player page
Panthers | Jalen Coker listed as questionable Fri Oct 17, 01:04 PM
Carolina Panthers WR Jalen Coker (quadriceps) fully participated in practice Friday, Oct. 17, but is listed as questionable for Week 7.
| Footballguys view: Coker has been a full practice participant for two weeks as he worked his way off IR. That extensive practice time opens the door to a full workload in his 2025 regular-season debut. Remember, the team had big plans for Coker this summer. Those plans were one reason they were comfortable trading Adam Thielen to the Vikings. Coker has a pretty conservative WR67 Footballguys projection heading into Sunday's game against the Jets. |
Panthers | Chuba Hubbard good to go Fri Oct 17, 12:39 PM
Carolina Panthers RB Chuba Hubbard (calf) will play in Week 7, according to head coach Dave Canales.
| Footballguys view: Hubbard fully participated in Friday's practice after being limited the first two days of the week. Rico Dowdle has starred in Hubbard's absence, so head coach Dave Canales will have to sort out the timeshare this weekend and beyond. Reports out of Carolina suggest there's a plan in place. Our Footballguys projections have Dowdle at RB18 and leading the way in this one, with Hubbard easing back in as RB31. That said, we'll be watching for clues that better define their anticipated roles right up through Sunday's kickoff. |

Dallas Cowboys CB Trevon Diggs (concussion) had an accident at his home Thursday, Oct. 16, and will miss Week 7 with a concussion.
| Footballguys view: The sudden change in Diggs' availability for Sunday afternoon will cause yet another shake-up in the Cowboys' injury-plagued defensive backfield. The question is, will Washington's receiving corps, with Terry McLaurin ruled out, Noah Brown on IR, and Deebo Samuel working at less than full speed due to a heel injury, be able to capitalize on the most favorable fantasy receiving matchup there is? |

Commanders | Terry McLaurin out for Week 7 Fri Oct 17, 11:52 AM
Washington Commanders WR Terry McLaurin (quadriceps) is out for Week 7.
| Footballguys view: Sunday's game against the Cowboys will be the fourth-straight absence for McLaurin because of this injury. The Commanders placed Noah Brown on injured reserve earlier this week, and Deebo Samuel has not practiced this week due to a hip injury, so the receiver ranks are thin in Washington. Quinn did not indicate what direction things will go with Samuel this weekend. We'll have more on that when the injury report is released later today. For now, we'll note that Chris Moore, Luke McCaffrey, and Jaylin Lane move up in the rotation with McLaurin and Brown out. |

Rams | Rob Havenstein out Fri Oct 17, 11:43 AM
Los Angeles Rams OT Rob Havenstein (ankle) is out for Week 7.
Link to story Rams | Puka Nacua ruled out Fri Oct 17, 10:42 AM
Los Angeles Rams WR Puka Nacua (ankle) is out for Week 7.
| Footballguys view: No surprise here, as there was little expectation that Nacua would be ready before the team's bye next week. He hopes to recover over the bye week and return in Week 9, but we probably won't get much news until that week. Davante Adams should get peppered in this matchup, and Jordan Whittington makes for a potential streaming option in deep leagues. |
