A limited practice to start the week is usually maintenance. Donaldson looked good last week, running for 39 yards on six attempts, though he did commit one fumble. Donaldson is one of three backs seeing work for the Saints, and none of them have made a strong case to get more touches. Donaldson is a weak FLEX option for Week 7.21 October 2026
This is just a maintenance day for the Vikings’ No. 1 wide receiver. Jefferson has an excellent matchup this week against the struggling Colts’ defense. The unit will likely be without No. 1 CB Sauce Gardner (calf), further enhancing Jefferson’s WR1 outlook for Week 7.21 October 2026
Schultz never left the Texans’ Week 6 game against Jacksonville, but he was spotted with a limp after taking a knee to the leg. It’s possible the injury was worse than initially expected. If he were to miss Week 7, Foster Moreau, who scored twice last week, would be the next man up. Given that Schultz was barely putting up TE2 numbers as the starter, our hopes for Moreau as a streaming option would not be high.21 October 2026
Brown was on the injury report because of the wrist injury several times earlier in the season. The team only listed him with a knee issue last week, and he was cleared from the injury report on Friday, but it’s likely that he’s been managing the wrist injury all season. Blake Fisher, his projected backup, also missed practice today, so this is at least a situation to monitor throughout the week.

NFL on Prime’s James Palmer reported last week that Surtain was likely to return for the Broncos’ Week 8 game against the Chiefs, rather than face the Cardinals in Week 7. Given Surtain’s multi-week absence, and Palmer’s reporting, we expect to see Surtain listed as a limited participant on the final injury report. Whether he returns in time for the Cardinals’ game remains to be seen.21 October 2026
Adams is set to undergo a procedure after rupturing his hamstring tendon in Week 6 against the Cardinals. He will be sidelined for 6-10 weeks. The Rams were already very thin at wide receiver and Puka Nacua has spent multiple weeks on the injury report as well. Acquiring a capable wide receiver makes sense, but as Graziano mentions, the Rams have already traded away a lot of their draft capital. Thus far, GM Les Snead has already given up their 2027 first- and third-round picks, and their 2028 ...21 October 2026
Earlier today, ESPN’s Dan Graziano reported that the Rams “will at least explore the possibility of trading for a wide receiver.” Obviously, McVay doesn’t want to tip off other wide receiver-needy NFL teams about their potential entrance into the trade market, and he has no reason to be honest with us. Acquiring a new wide receiver makes sense, and the Rams were aggressive players in the trade market last offseason. Stay tuned.21 October 2026
Coleman can return to practice this week and the team now has 21 days to bring him off injured reserve. He could be back on the field as soon as Sunday. With the Broncos’ offense struggling and two backs already seeing work in the backfield, it’s hard to imagine Coleman having much fantasy value in his first game back. He’s worth stashing in deeper leagues, but it might be a while before fantasy managers want him in their lineups.21 October 2026
Bateman left the Ravens’ Week 6 game against the Browns and did not return, though head coach Jesse Minter told reporters on Monday that he was going to be fine. Expect the team to manage his reps in practice this week with an eye on getting him ready for Sunday. Bateman has made a handful of splash plays this year, but his production is low-volume and high-variance. He will be a low-end FLEX option for Week 7.21 October 2026
Addison, well-rested coming off his team’s Week 6 bye, is ready to go. The Colts’ defense has played poorly, and they will likely be without top CB Sauce Gardner (calf). Addison can be a volatile producer at times, but he warrants WR3/FLEX treatment this week.21 October 2026
The Ravens acquired Jurgens from the Eagles two weeks ago, but he hasn’t made his Baltimore debut yet while he works through the league’s concussion protocol. A full practice today puts him on track to suit up in Week 7. His return will move rookie Vega Ioane back to right guard.21 October 2026
The Dolphins’ speedy back will likely serve as a change-of-pace option behind Ollie Gordon, who has outplayed Wright since De’Von Achane’s season-ending knee injury. Wright does not need to be rostered in 12-team formats.21 October 2026
ESPN’s Marcel Louis-Jacques reports that Willis received treatment for his thumb injury on his right, throwing hand, though he did not share what exactly the injury is. Hopefully, it is nothing serious. If his ball placement is impacted, the Jets’ D/ST would benefit. Willis is a volatile QB2 against them this week. Willis underwent surgery on his left thumb in August 2025.21 October 2026
Thomas, the team’s left tackle, plus RT Jermaine Eluemunor (calf) and backup OT Marcus Mbow (knee) were all sidelined on Wednesday. Thomas played through a questionable tag last week. This unit is ailing. They face the Texans’ capable defensive line in Week 7.21 October 2026
Mooney should be good to go this week, but he does not need to be on fantasy football rosters. Giants TE Theo Johnson (neck) was limited.21 October 2026
Terrell was back on the practice field with his teammates today. He has a chance to face the 49ers and their banged-up wide receiver corps in Week 7. Terrell is a capable coverage defender. His return is a positive for the Falcons’ defense.21 October 2026
Evans is already expected to miss “a little time” because of his Achilles tendinitis, so this isn’t a surprise. It’s safe to assume he’s out for at least Week 7, but the good news is that it’s not expected to be a long-term issue. Evans could be back as soon as Week 9 following the 49ers’ bye week. With Deebo Samuel all but ruled out for this week’s matchup with Atlanta, Brandin Cooks and Jordan Watkins are set for starting roles on Sunday.21 October 2026
Douglas told reporters that he has finally progressed to being “day-to-day,” giving him a real chance to suit up in Week 7 against the Jets. Douglas should be added in 12-team formats. He played very well early on and will likely warrant FLEX consideration upon his return.21 October 2026
Wednesday’s session was a walkthrough, so this is just an estimate from the team. We don’t believe it will be much of an issue for Love in Week 7. Barring a setback, Love will remain in the QB1 mix for a likely shootout with the Lions on Sunday.21 October 2026
This is probably just a maintenance day for the Browns’ linebacker. Schwesinger resumed practicing last Friday and ended up playing in Week 6 against the Ravens. We expect to see him resume practicing tomorrow. The Browns face the Titans in Week 7. Browns DT Mason Graham (knee/ankle) was limited.
