The Seahawks’ backup quarterback is dealing with an injury in his throwing arm, so any calls for Sam Darnold’s benching will have to quiet down. Seahawks S Nick Emmanwori (hip), LB DeMarcus Lawrence (knee) and LB Uchenna Nwosu (hip) are questionable. The Seahawks ruled out Chazz Surratt (calf) and LB DrakeThomas (ankle).23 October 2026
Waddle upgraded to full on Friday after logging two limited sessions to begin the week. The Broncos’ No. 1 wide receiver has struggled to deliver usable stat lines with Bo Nix intent on checking down. The Cardinals’ pass defense could facilitate a bounce-back game for Waddle, but he remains a WR3/FLEX at this time.23 October 2026
Badie is likely headed toward a demotion with Jonah Coleman (ankle) inching toward a return. The latter player is questionable to play this week.23 October 2026
Coleman practiced in full all week, but the Broncos could technically give him another week to rehab the ankle. If active, there are too many unknowns regarding Coleman’s potential workload to start him in the FLEX, but he must be rostered in 12-team leagues.

He’ll likely find his way back to the practice squad — here or elsewhere — at some point this season. This move portends that Jordan Mason will be activated for Week 7.23 October 2026
He’ll be good to go, but given how much Houston’s wideout usage has expanded of late, Schultz is probably just a passable TE2.23 October 2026
He’ll be good to go after back-to-back full sessions on Thursday and Friday. The 380-pound behemoth will likely continue to spend plenty of time on the injury report in his age-33 season.23 October 2026
This is great news for the Cowboys’ offense. Guyton, the starting left tackle, is practicing in full and still has another practice tomorrow. Expect him to be available for the Cowboys’ Monday Night Football game against the Eagles.23 October 2026
He didn’t practice all week and will get San Francisco’s Week 8 bye to recover. The 33-year-old’s absence will leave veterans Christian Kirk and Brandin Cooks along with youngsters Jacob Cowing and Jordan Watkins on the 49ers receiver depth chart for Sunday.23 October 2026
Samuel hasn’t practiced since injuring his hamstring in the latter stages of Week 5’s win over the Seahawks. He’ll get the Week 8 bye to heal up. It does seem like there’s at least some chance he could get active for Week 9.23 October 2026
Seahawks coach Mike Macdonald told reporters that Charbonnet has not suffered a setback. He just isn’t ready yet. Many teams might rush a player of his caliber back, now that he is practicing in full, but the Seahawks are smartly taking the long view with Charbonnet’s health. Emanuel Wilson will function as the team’s leading rusher while George Holani plays on passing downs.23 October 2026
The 49ers keep projecting a rosy picture of Bosa returning to practice at some point, it keeps not happening. He’ll get the Week 8 bye to heal up. Bosa hasn’t played since Week 2. If only there were a reserve list that teams could place injured players on.23 October 2026
He is, however, expected to be activated off injured reserve and play. We’ve heard worse desperation options than “most accomplished 49ers wideout on paper playing with Brock Purdy and George Kittle as Mike Evans sits.” Kirk probably factors in the WR3/WR4 calculus assuming he is indeed activated on Saturday.23 October 2026
Love was limited on Wednesday before upgrading to full on Thursday. Packers coach Matt LaFleur told reporters that his starting quarterback was “pretty beat up” after the Packers’ Week 6 win over the Cowboys. Hopefully, he is feeling much better by now. This divisional showdown looks like one of the most fantasy-friendly game environments in Week 7. He’s a QB1.23 October 2026
Watson remained limited through the first two practices this week. We do not yet know his Friday participation level, but he seems to be ready for action. Watson belongs in the WR1 tier against a Lions’ pass defense that has freely surrendered big plays this season.23 October 2026
A Friday afternoon tradition unlike any other, Bowers was cleared after getting in two full sessions on Thursday and Friday. He can be played as an elite TE1, as usual.23 October 2026
A few Packers got a little banged up against the Cowboys last week, including Golden, but the breakout second-year wide receiver is good to go. This game profiles as a fantasy-friendly shootout. Golden should be started as a high-end WR2 with solid upside.23 October 2026
The Cowboys face the Eagles in Week 7’s Monday Night Football game, giving Pickens an extra day to recover. ESPN’s Todd Archer said yesterday that Pickens has been icing his shoulder in-game during the Cowboys’ last two games. He encouragingly practiced in full today. Start him as a WR2 as usual this week.23 October 2026
Questionable but fully expected to play after three full practices, Mays should add some more teeth to the Lions’ run game.23 October 2026
After three full sessions this week, Branch is expected to be activated off reserve/PUP and should have no snap count per DC Kelvin Sheppard. He can be welcomed back to IDP lineups.
