The Vikings plan to activate RB Jordan Mason (thumb) from injured reserve on Saturday if all goes well, per sources.

Colts | Colts receiving 'strong trade interest' in DeForest Buckner, Quenton Nelson Sat Oct 24, 09:32 AM
The Colts have received strong trade interest in DT DeForest Buckner and Quenton Nelson. No player is expected to be off-limits if Indianapolis decides to sell before the Nov. 10 trade deadline.
| Footballguys view: Reporters indicate there are not any talks about trading RB Jonathan Taylor yet. We expect that to change quickly with the trade deadline approaching in a few weeks. There would be at least a few teams interested in a superstar back like Taylor if he's made available. Stay tuned, we're expecting the Colts to be deal-makers in the near future. |

Eagles | Dallas Goedert returns to practice Saturday ahead of Monday night vs. Cowboys Sat Oct 24, 08:44 AM
Eagles TE Dallas Goedert returned to practice on Saturday after missing the first two days of the week with a knee injury. The return gives him a chance to play in Monday night's Week 7 game against the Cowboys. The Eagles were set to release their game statuses later Saturday afternoon.
| Footballguys view: There has been optimism that Goedert would be able to play on Monday night against the Cowboys. With Tanner McKee at quarterback, Goedert makes for a nice security blanket target. That makes him a potential TE1 for Fantasy GMs if he does play in Week 7. |

Rams | Davante Adams expected out five to nine more weeks with hamstring Sat Oct 24, 07:00 AM
Rams WR Davante Adams will miss Sunday's game at the Raiders and is expected to be sidelined five to nine more weeks because of a hamstring injury. "You're not going to one-for-one sub in a guy that's going to be wearing a gold jacket one day, in Davante," QB Matthew Stafford said. "It's a team effort."
| Footballguys view: Rams HC Sean McVay said earlier this week that the team is waiting for the right time to schedule a 'cleanup' procedure for Adams. Reports are close with timelines that expect him out a minimum of five weeks, and a maximum of 10 weeks. Once a procedure is done on the hamstring, we'll have a better idea about any timeline for a return. |

Giants | Paulson Adebo expected back from IR Sunday as Greg Newsome II sits Fri Oct 23, 09:44 PM
Giants CB Paulson Adebo (knee) is expected to be activated off injured reserve after missing the past five games and is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's game at Houston. His return will coincide with the loss of CB Greg Newsome II (concussion). "He's ready to go," head coach John Harbaugh said on Friday. "He's a legit corner. He's a cover corner, he tackles... I think he's finally probably healthy and ready to go. I can't wait to see it. It looks like it's going to be Sunday." Adebo lost his starting job to Deonte Banks in training camp.

Broncos | Jonah Coleman questionable for Week 7, needs IR activation Fri Oct 23, 05:10 PM
Broncos RB Jonah Coleman (ankle) was listed as questionable for Sunday's Week 7 game at the Cardinals after being a full participant in practice for the third consecutive day on Friday. Coleman, who was placed on injured reserve following Week 2, began his 21-day practice window on Wednesday and would be eligible to play if he is activated from injured reserve.
| Footballguys view: All signs point to Coleman returning in Week 7. Since Sean Payton took over playcalling, we've seen a shift toward using J.K. Dobbins more than RJ Harvey. It remains to be seen how Coleman will fit into that mix. He's a priority pickup if he's available on the waiver wire, but he's more of a stash than a start this week against the Cardinals. |

Broncos | Jaylen Waddle full Friday, no game status for Week 7 at Cardinals Fri Oct 23, 05:10 PM
Broncos WR Jaylen Waddle (chest) improved to a full participant in practice on Friday after being limited in Denver's first two practices of the week. Waddle was not assigned a game status for Sunday's Week 7 game at the Cardinals, which indicates he will be available to play.
| Footballguys view: Waddle was limited early in the week but practiced in full on Friday, and he'll enter Week 7 as a boom-or-bust WR3. |

Texans | Dalton Schultz good to go for Sunday vs. Giants Fri Oct 23, 05:05 PM
Texans TE Dalton Schultz (quad) is good to go for Sunday's game against the Giants. He carries no game designation after practicing on Friday.
| Footballguys view: Schultz missed Wednesday's practice and was limited Thursday, but will play in Sunday's game against the Giants. After Jaylin Noel's breakout, Marvin Harrison Jr.'s trade, and Tank Dell's return, the Texans' pecking order quickly became crowded. Schultz was a great early-season streaming option while Nico Collins was out, but now he's more of a touchdown-dependent desperation play. |

Vikings | RB DeeJay Dallas released by Vikings Fri Oct 23, 04:46 PM
The Minnesota Vikings released RB DeeJay Dallas.
| Footballguys view: Dallas was a serviceable backup while Jordan Mason was on IR, but he's expendable with Mason nearing a return. He's droppable in all dynasty and redraft formats. |

Seahawks | Zach Charbonnet ruled out for Sunday night vs. Chiefs Fri Oct 23, 04:34 PM
Seahawks RB Zach Charbonnet has been ruled out for Sunday night's Week 7 game against the Chiefs. Charbonnet, who is working back from a torn ACL, was activated from the PUP list on Thursday and was a full participant in practice on Wednesday and Thursday.
| Footballguys view: Well, so much for the reports this morning that Charbonnet would play a meaningful role in Week 7. He's still less than nine months removed from surgery, but he's expected to return soon. While he's out, expect Emanuel Wilson, George Holani, and Velus Jones Jr. to split the load. Wilson is the most valuable of the bunch, but all three have very risky floors. |

Bears | Ben Johnson confirms Cole Kmet will miss rest of season with knee injury Fri Oct 23, 04:31 PM
Bears head coach Ben Johnson confirmed on Friday that TE Cole Kmet will miss the rest of the season with a knee injury he sustained midway through the fourth quarter of Thursday's 30-24 win over the Patriots. "He's going to be sorely missed," Johnson said. "And yet the train keeps rolling along. Someone else has to step up." Kmet caught three passes for 28 yards before exiting, joining Mike Ditka as the only Bears tight ends with at least 3,000 career receiving yards.

49ers | Christian Kirk questionable but expected to play Sunday Fri Oct 23, 04:29 PM
49ers WR Christian Kirk (calf) is listed as questionable for Sunday's Week 7 game at the Falcons. Kirk is expected to play. The 49ers are already without WRs Mike Evans (Achilles) and Deebo Samuel Sr. (hamstring), who have both been ruled out.
| Footballguys view: Kirk has been injured since training camp began. While that would normally be cause for concern, the 49ers are desperate. Mike Evans and Deebo Samuel Sr. are out for this game. De'Zhaun Stribling and Ricky Pearsall remain on IR. Kirk could step into this matchup as the team's WR1. Expect a game plan focused on the running backs and George Kittle, but keep in mind Kirk could be a deep-league flex if you need one. |

49ers | Mike Evans ruled out for Week 7 at Atlanta Fri Oct 23, 04:28 PM
49ers WR Mike Evans (Achilles) has been ruled out for Sunday's Week 7 game at the Falcons. Evans was not at the start of Friday's practice after not participating in practice earlier in the week.
| Footballguys view: After exiting last week's game due to a flare-up of his Achilles tendinitis, Evans will miss Week 7. Tendinitis is a tricky injury that can ebb and flow for a long time. Evans will hope to rest up and return soon. When active, he's a plug-and-play WR2. Managers will need to keep him stashed and hope he returns after next week's much-needed bye. |

49ers | Deebo Samuel ruled out for Week 7 at Falcons Fri Oct 23, 04:28 PM
49ers WR Deebo Samuel Sr. (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's Week 7 game at the Falcons. Samuel also missed the team's Week 6 game against the Commanders, and head coach Kyle Shanahan said on Monday he did not think Samuel would be back for Week 7.
| Footballguys view: Samuel got off to a hot start this year, but this hamstring will keep him out for at least another week. When he returns, he may have a limited role. But the 49ers desperately need receiver help, and Samuel could provide it. He's worth stashing until he can return, and Christian Kirk and Jacob Cowing should get extra work with him out this week. |

49ers | Nick Bosa out for Week 7 at Falcons Fri Oct 23, 04:28 PM

Texans | David Montgomery officially ruled out for Sunday vs. Giants Fri Oct 23, 04:27 PM
The Texans officially ruled out RB David Montgomery (groin) for Sunday's game against the Giants on Friday. Montgomery joins S Jalen Pitre and S Reed Blankenship on the list of Texans who will be out for the Week 7 matchup.
| Footballguys view: Montgomery had a magical three-touchdown performance in Week 1 and hasn't done much of anything since. He averaged just 31.5 scoreless yards per game over the next four games, and we haven't seen him since. This Texans offense is buzzing, making it hard to drop Montgomery. But managers will likely have little patience if he struggles upon his return, which could make him droppable in the coming weeks. |

Cowboys | George Pickens a full participant in Friday practice Fri Oct 23, 04:26 PM

George Pickens says shoulder is 'good,' will play Monday night at Eagles Fri Oct 23, 04:18 PM
Cowboys WR George Pickens said on Friday that his shoulder is good and that he is playing Monday night in Philadelphia. Pickens was limited in practice on Thursday with the shoulder injury. Asked what he needs to do to get more involved early in games, Pickens said: "I'm doing what they're telling me to do. So, (keep) doing what they tell me to do."
| Footballguys view: The vibes aren't great for a 2-4 Cowboys team, and Pickens' passive-aggressive comments about his role say more than he probably intended. There were expectations that he could elevate to WR1 status this year, but he's proven to be a boom-or-bust WR2, and he should be treated that way in Week 7 against the Eagles. |

Raiders | Jack Bech eligible to return to practice next week Fri Oct 23, 04:17 PM
Raiders WR Jack Bech (forearm) will be eligible to return to practice starting next week. Bech has been on injured reserve since fracturing his forearm against the Saints in late September. At the time, he was expected to return later this season.
| Footballguys view: Bech was down the pecking order before the injury and still has to prove he's healthy enough to play. He's worth stashing in deep dynasty leagues, but he's not quite on the redraft radar yet. |

Packers | Zaire Franklin ruled out vs. Lions, Ty'Ron Hopper in line for third career start Fri Oct 23, 04:08 PM
Packers LB Zaire Franklin (shin) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Lions after taking a knee to his shin during a collision at Thursday's practice, head coach Matt LaFleur said on Friday. The team does not anticipate Franklin landing on injured reserve, with LaFleur saying, "I don't think it's going to be anything too long term." LaFleur expressed confidence in LBs Isaiah McDuffie, Ty'Ron Hopper and Nick Niemann, and Sunday would mark Hopper's third career start. It will be only the second game Franklin has missed in nine NFL seasons, snapping a streak of 48 consecutive games played.

Packers | Jordan Love has no game status, will play vs. Lions Fri Oct 23, 04:08 PM
Packers QB Jordan Love (back) did not receive a game status for Sunday's game against the Lions and will be available. WRs Christian Watson (ankle), Matthew Golden (shoulder), and Savion Williams (ankle) also have no game status and will be available.
| Footballguys view: The Packers were liberal with limited practices this week, but Love, Watson, Golden, and Williams are all cleared to play. Love is a QB1 in a matchup against the Lions, Watson and Golden are both high-end WR2s, and Williams has some appeal as a desperation streamer in a should-be shootout. |

Lions | Brian Branch questionable for Sunday vs. Packers Fri Oct 23, 04:07 PM

Jets | Adonai Mitchell has no injury designation for Week 7 Fri Oct 23, 04:07 PM
Jets WR Adonai Mitchell (finger) has no injury designation for Sunday's game against the Dolphins. Mitchell had surgery on his finger and missed four games. He was limited in practice on Wednesday and was described as on track to play Sunday.
| Footballguys view: After snagging his finger in a jersey during a practice, Mitchell missed an entire month of action. While he was out, first-round rookie Omar Cooper Jr. returned and broke out. Additionally, Breece Hall could return this week. The Jets offense got crowded, and it's hard to project Mitchell into a major role. He's worth holding onto in deep leagues, but he's a fringe WR4 in Week 7. |

Ravens | Rashod Bateman off injury report, set to play Sunday Fri Oct 23, 04:01 PM
Ravens WR Rashod Bateman (shoulder) is off the final injury report of the week and set to play in Sunday's game against the Bengals.
| Footballguys view: Back-to-back full practices for Bateman have him cleared to play in Week 7. With Ja'Kobi Lane back in the lineup, Bateman becomes a very risky WR5. Fantasy managers will want to hold him through the trade deadline, but he's a touchdown-or-bust flex option at best. |

Ravens | Mark Andrews off injury report, set to play vs. Bengals Fri Oct 23, 04:01 PM
Ravens TE Mark Andrews (hand) is off the final injury report of the week and set to play in Sunday's game against the Bengals.

Harbaugh says Skattebo had 'good week,' should return to RB rotation Sunday Fri Oct 23, 03:51 PM
Giants RB Cam Skattebo should return to the running back rotation for Sunday's game at Houston, head coach John Harbaugh said on Friday, adding that Skattebo had a "good week" of practice, ESPN's Jordan Raanan reported. Skattebo played only six snaps and had no touches in Week 6 after a key overtime fumble in Week 5. "I took care of the ball during practice, and whatever my role is on Sunday is going to be my role and I'm going to give it everything I've got," Skattebo said. He has 81 carries for 294 yards and one touchdown this season.
| Footballguys view: Some players respond well to punishment, and others do not. Skattebo seemed humble and understanding when discussing the benching postgame last week, and has seemingly responded with a strong week of practice. It's almost impossible to gauge what happens in Week 7. He could be eased back into his role or run hard with a full workload. Skattebo had one of the league's best opportunity shares heading into Week 6 and didn't log a single touch in that game. He's a risky RB3 this week. The best-case scenario is that he responds well and managers have more faith in starting Skattebo after his Week 8 bye. |
