NBC Sports’ Jennifer Lee Chan reported earlier this week that Evans is expected to “miss a little time,” making his two absences unsurprising. Evans has not been formally ruled out, and he is no stranger to playing through injury, but fantasy managers should expect him to miss the 49ers’ Week 7 game against the Falcons.22 October 2026
The 49ers were optimistic about Bosa’s availability for Week 7 against the Falcons, but he is firmly on the wrong side of questionable. The 49ers go on bye in Week 8. Allowing him to fully heal and return in Week 9 for their game against the Raiders could make sense.22 October 2026
Hockenson did the same yesterday and can be safely expected to start in Week 7 against the Colts’ beatable defense. Hockenson has seemingly developed a strong connection with Kyler Murray and can be started as a fantasy football TE1 this week.22 October 2026
The Vikings’ No. 1 wide receiver posted a 6/79/1 receiving line in the Vikings’ Week 5 win over the Saints. He should be feeling even better at this point, coming off a Week 6 bye. The Colts will notably be without No. 1 cornerback Sauce Gardner (calf) this weekend, making life even easier on Jefferson.

The Falcons’ No. 2 running back was limited yesterday. This series of events suggests Robinson strained his hamstring on Wednesday, putting him on the wrong side of questionable for the Falcons’ Week 6 game against the 49ers. Bijan Robinson would handle a few extra touches in Robinson’s absence. The team does not have a third running back on the active roster.22 October 2026
Chiefs coach Andy Reid told reporters that Rice’s strain was only a “tweak” in his Week 4 post-game remarks. So much for that. The Chiefs will almost assuredly be without their No. 1 wide receiver against the Seahawks this week, leaving Xavier Worthy to handle the role.22 October 2026
Kelce should be good to go for the Chiefs’ Week 7 game against the Seahawks. At 37 years old, he does not need to practice fully in order to play, though it would be nice to see him upgrade to full participation tomorrow. If active, he is a locked-in TE1.22 October 2026
Rozeboom heads to injured reserve with five tackles and one quarterback pressure to his name. The Buccaneers correspondingly activated David Sills from injured reserve22 October 2026
The Cowboys’ left tackle played through a minor back issue earlier this month as well. He’s a little banged up at the moment. Whether this injury keeps him out remains to be seen. The Cowboys take on the division-rival Eagles on Monday night.22 October 2026
Reliable ESPN beat reporter Todd Archer notes that Pickens has had ice on his shoulder during the Cowboys’ last two games. He does not think that this injury threatens Pickens’ Week 7 availability. Thanks, Todd. Ideally, Pickens jumps back up to full participation tomorrow, and we head into Sunday carefree. Stay tuned.22 October 2026
Bateman has been playing through this shoulder injury for a while, though he was forced to leave early last week. Bateman should now be expected to play, but he is only a boom-bust FLEX option with Ja’Kobi Lane now back in the lineup.22 October 2026
Schultz is unlikely to play in Week 7 against the Giants, and now Texans TE4 Brevin Jordan (foot) appears to have suffered an injury. Jordan was added to the injury report today as a limited participant. The injuries elevate TE2 Foster Moreau to the streaming ranks for Week 7.22 October 2026
It’s an upgrade from Wednesday’s limited session. Packers coach Matt LaFleur said Love was “pretty beat up” after Sunday night, but Love doesn’t appear to be in any danger of missing the game. He’ll likely be cleared off the injury report Friday.22 October 2026
The Browns’ short-area target earner is banged up, but he still has a chance to play in Week 7 against the Titans. Ideally, Concepcion will upgrade to full participation tomorrow. If he remains limited, he may end up being listed with a questionable tag. Stay tuned.22 October 2026
Watson appears to just be being managed at this point as Matt LaFleur said there are no concerns on him playing in Week 7. Two limited sessions are often a starting point for a questionable listing, but we’d be surprised if it got that far with Watson.22 October 2026
Golden appears to just be being managed at this point as Packers coach Matt LaFleur said there were no concerns on him playing in Week 7 on Wednesday. Two limited sessions are often a starting point for a questionable listing, but we’d be surprised if it got that far with Golden. He’ll likely be cleared off the injury report on Friday.22 October 2026
The Browns’ rookie field-stretcher played through his foot injury last week against the Ravens, posting just a 1/15 receiving line. Ostensibly, the foot is bothering him, but he still has a chance to suit up in Week 7 against the Titans. Hopefully, Boston upgrades to full participation tomorrow.22 October 2026
That’s back-to-back limited sessions from Douglas as he attempts to come back from an injury suffered in Week 2. We’d bet on him getting to the questionable line at this point given the significant layoff, but he does have a real chance to play against the Jets in Week 7 and be a WR4/FLEX candidate.22 October 2026
Wright played through this listing ahead of Week 5, but it appears that he simply won’t shake it this year. It makes him hard to trust him as someone who could suddenly usurp the lead role from Ollie Gordon, but we’d be surprised if he didn’t play in Week 7.22 October 2026
Yesterday, Browns coach Todd Monken said he was “optimistic” about Judkins’ Week 7 availability. He has a chance to face the Titans this week, after sitting out in Week 6 against the Ravens, but it would be great to resume practicing in full tomorrow. If active, Judkins could be limited to a run-centric role, with Sampson also technically being on track to play.
