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.

A limited session this early in the week is usually nothing to worry about. After racking up another 100-yard game on Sunday, this time on 13 targets, Golden could use a little rest at practice. He was working his way into the WR1 ranks already, and a shootout with the Lions all but guarantees him a spot in the top 12 this week.21 October 2026
The Packers held a walkthrough today, so Watson’s status is only an estimate from the team. Given his lengthy injury history, fantasy managers should keep an eye on Green Bay’s injury report tomorrow, though we suspect this isn’t a major issue for Watson. Assuming he gets up to a full practice at some point this week, Watson will be a borderline WR1 for Week 7 versus Detroit.21 October 2026
Holland, the team’s top safety, and Greg Newsome (concussion), the team’s top cornerback, were both sidelined today. Giants LB Tremaine Edmunds (shoulder) was also sidelined. The Giants are tasked with containing a Texans’ passing offense that ties for the league lead in explosive pass plays this week.21 October 2026
Neither did Mike Evans, who is dealing with Achilles tendinitis. These absences shouldn’t come as much of a surprise. Evans is expected to miss Week 8 after aggravating his Achilles issue on Monday. Samuel is expected to miss “at least a couple of weeks” and has been sidelined for just one game so far. Jordan Watkins and Brandin Cooks are in line to start for the 49ers this week. What a time to be alive.21 October 2026
Boston played through the injury last week, catching just 1-of-5 targets for 15 yards. The foot injury could be bugging him. Fortunately, he did not appear to suffer any setbacks. Boston is a WR3/FLEX against the Titans in Week 7.21 October 2026
The rookie wide receiver has been awfully banged up over the past two weeks. He suffered a concussion in Week 5, yet managed to play in Week 6. Unfortunately, he did not leave the contest unscathed, picking up two lower-body injuries. Hopefully, he resumes practicing fully tomorrow.21 October 2026
Kyle Shanahan told reporters he’s hopeful Bosa returns to practice tomorrow. The oft-injured pass-rusher hasn’t played since Week 2. Even if he does practice on Thursday, there’s no guarantee that will get him back on the field for Sunday’s game against the Falcons.21 October 2026
Earlier today, Browns coach Todd Monken said he was “optimistic” about Judkins’ availability for Week 7 against the Titans. Today’s limited session puts him on track to play, though it would be nice to see him practice in full. If active, he would be a FLEX starter.21 October 2026
Browns coach Todd Monken indicated earlier today that Sampson has a chance to return from injured reserve in time to face the Titans on Sunday. The Browns’ skill position corps is banged up and could use an explosive player. Sampson might end up warranting FLEX treatment right off the bat, if he is active this week.21 October 2026
The Bucs’ right tackle has not missed a snap this year. If he were to miss Week 7, Justin Skule would likely be the next man up. Goedeke has been an impressive pass protector this year, allowing seven pressures and zero sacks on 259 pass-pro reps. Losing him would be a notable blow to the team’s line.21 October 2026
The 31-year-old player has a hip injury. Ridley mostly runs cardio and game day and is not fantasy-relevant at this time. Were he to sit, Elic Ayomanor and Chimere Dike could get more playing time — which would be a positive outcome for the offense as a whole.21 October 2026
Egbuka finished the Bucs’ overtime loss to the Steelers, so his concussion symptoms likely arose in the hours or days after the game. He will now need to pass through the league’s concussion protocol to be cleared for Week 7. Players typically miss one game while in the protocol, and we don’t know the severity of his foot injury. Fantasy managers should prepare to be without him for at least a week. His absence would free up more looks for Chris Godwin and rookie Ted Hurst, both of whom w ...21 October 2026
The Patriots will also be without RG Ben Brown (knee). The Bears’ defense is not an elite unit, but losing two starting guards is rough. Backups Matt Pryor and Walter Rouse will start instead. The Patriots listed RT Morgan Moses (foot) as questionable.21 October 2026
The Patriots will also be without their top-two backup CBs, Karon Prunty (hamstring) and Channing Canada (hamstring). The Patriots listed S Kevin Byard (chest), S Craig Woodson (shoulder) and LB Christian Elliss (chest) as questionable. This is good news for the Bears’ passing attack.21 October 2026
Mayfield going down as a full participant is a bit of a surprise given that it’s his first time practicing in any capacity since Week 3. Todd Bowles told reporters earlier this week that the team was preparing for Jalon Daniels to start. Now it looks like Mayfield may be the favorite to draw the start versus Carolina. This is ultimately a rather ambiguous situation, likely by Bowles’ design. Fantasy managers should have a backup plan in place if they are counting on either of the Bucs’ qu ...21 October 2026
Tucker should be back after missing Week 6’s loss to the Steelers. He doesn’t offer much fantasy value of his own, but he does occasionally plunder goal-line work from Bucky Irving. Expect him to be a thorn in Irving’s side again this week.
