The Vikings activated RB Jordan Mason from injured reserve on Saturday ahead of Sunday's Week 7 game against the Colts. Mason had been sidelined since suffering a hand injury in Week 1 that required surgery; he rushed 15 times for 59 yards and a touchdown in the season opener against Green Bay. With Mason out, RB Aaron Jones Sr. has rushed 85 times for 370 yards since Week 2. To make room, the Vikings released RB DeeJay Dallas and signed him to the practice squad, and Dallas will be elevated for Sunday's game.

Eagles WR Dontayvion Wicks (ankle) has been ruled out for Monday night's Week 7 game against the Cowboys. Wicks sat out Thursday's practice.

Eagles WR DeVonta Smith (hamstring) has been ruled out for Monday night's Week 7 game against the Cowboys. Smith did not practice Thursday, Friday or Saturday.
| Footballguys view: No practices for three days pretty much summed up Smith's availability. The team will be without Dontayvion Wicks (ankle) as well in Week 7. That means guys like Makai Lemon, Hollywood Brown, and Darius Cooper could be tasked with doing more. We may see TE Dallas Goedert out there on Monday night, and that will greatly help QB Tanner McKee with all these wide receiver injuries. |
Nolan Smith Jr. player page
The Texans will officially activate WR Tank Dell from injured reserve on Saturday ahead of Sunday's Week 7 game against the Giants. Dell is slated for a limited role of snaps as he completes his comeback from a major knee injury.
| Footballguys view: Texans HC Demeco Ryans said earlier in the week that Dell would play in Week 7 against the Giants. We last saw Dell on the field in Week 16 of the 2024 season, so he's put in a ton of work to get back out there. With the Texans trading for Marvin Harrison Jr, and the emergence of Jaylin Noel, targets could be difficult to find for Dell. We celebrate his return nonetheless. |
Tank Dell player page
Ravens QB Lamar Jackson has been downgraded to out for Sunday's game against the Bengals. Jackson was listed as questionable on Friday's injury report with an ankle injury, which he described as a high ankle sprain that was "heading in the right direction."
| Footballguys view: Fantasy GMs were on the fence, but we now have clarity, and it's another start for Tyler Huntley. Jackson was close to returning, with some reports suggesting it was 50/50 that he would play, so a return in Week 8 (road game versus the Bills) seems likely. In a press conference this week, Jackson did say he was 'heading in the right direction.' |

The Chiefs placed RB Brashard Smith on injured reserve with a hamstring injury on Saturday, sidelining him for at least the team's next four games. Rookie RB Jaydn Ott was signed from the practice squad to the 53-man roster in his place. Head coach Andy Reid said on Friday that Smith would be out for Sunday night's game at Seattle and that Ott would make his NFL debut.
| Footballguys view: Ott's early career tape from Cal (2023) showed a player with a natural ability to feel rushing lanes and the vision to maximize yards before contact. His final year at Oklahoma was disappointing and injury-riddled, but in super crazy deep dynasty formats, we've been intrigued by the undrafted rookie. It's all about Kenneth Walker (and Emmett Johnson is the primary backup), but we'll be interested to see if Ott can get a few snaps. |

Giants TE Theo Johnson (neck) has been downgraded to out for Sunday's Week 7 game at the Texans, according to multiple reports. Johnson was listed as doubtful on Friday's injury report before Saturday afternoon's downgrade.
| Footballguys view: He suffered the injury in Week 5 and sat out last Sunday's loss to the Saints. This is more damaging for the Giants as a team than Fantasy GMs as Isaiah Likely is the TE1 and primary weapon at the position. |
Theo Johnson player page
Eagles TE Dallas Goedert (knee) expects to play in Monday night's Week 7 game against the Cowboys.
| Footballguys view: Goedert returned to practice on Saturday after not being spotted at Thursday's session. Tanner McKee should be utilizing Goedert early and often against the Cowboys. That makes him a low-end TE1 option for Fantasy GMs in Week 7. |
Dallas Goedert player page
Eagles RB Saquon Barkley (hamstring) is expected to "fight through the injury to play" in Monday night's Week 7 game against the Cowboys. His official game status was due on Saturday afternoon's injury report. Barkley was limited in practice on Friday.
| Footballguys view: Barkley has been out of action since injuring his hamstring in Week 4. He should be back in Week 7, but now Tanner McKee is in at quarterback. There should be plenty of opportunities for the veteran back as both a runner and receiver out of the backfield. With Barkley on the field, we've got him in the low-end RB1 range for Fantasy GMs in PPR formats. |

The Dolphins elevated K Zane Gonzalez from the practice squad to the active roster on Saturday for Sunday's game against the Jets. Gonzalez signed with Miami as a free agent in March and spent the offseason program and training camp with the team. He has appeared in 78 career games with Cleveland, Arizona, Carolina, Washington and Atlanta, converting 115 of 142 field goal attempts (81.0 percent) and 163 of 171 extra points.

The Vikings plan to activate RB Jordan Mason (thumb) from injured reserve on Saturday if all goes well, per sources. Mason was listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Colts after returning to practice this week, including a full session on Thursday. His return would give Minnesota another key back alongside RB Aaron Jones Sr.
| Footballguys view: Aaron Jones has done a fine job as the lead back for the Vikings, but Mason should be getting that role back eventually. They could ease him back into action, so Mason is more of an RB3/flex consideration in first game action since Week 1. Jones is a bit higher this week, but only in the RB3 range. |

"Multiple league execs believe Jacksonville will seriously consider trading Brian Thomas Jr. at the deadline now that his role has decreased," ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reported on Saturday. Jaguars WR Brian Thomas Jr. was benched for the entire second half of last Sunday's 34-31 loss to the Texans after playing 15 first-half snaps without a catch on two targets, and he has nine catches for 105 yards and one touchdown through six games. Fowler identified the Chiefs and Steelers as teams looking for receiving help, though neither has been reported to have made an offer for Thomas. General manager James Gladstone said in March that Thomas was a big part of the team's future.

The Browns activated RB Dylan Sampson (knee) from injured reserve on Saturday. He will have no injury status for Sunday's game at the Titans. Sampson, a second-year player and 2025 fourth-round pick, suffered the knee injury in the season opener at Jacksonville. He has 175 career rushing yards on 65 attempts and 33 receptions for 271 yards with two touchdowns in 16 career games.
| Footballguys view: Sampson is a slashing runner inside who can make plays in open space as a receiver. He's likely to be the primary backup and change of pace to Quinshon Judkins. We like his all-around ability, so Sampson should be stashed in deeper leagues (especially those in PPR formats). Let's see what he looks like in his return before considering him as anything more than a 'what the heck' flex. |

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. |
DeForest Buckner player page
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. |
Dallas Goedert player page
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 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.

Colts TE Tyler Warren (groin) has been ruled out for Sunday's Week 7 game at the Vikings after not practicing on Friday. With Warren out, TEs Mo Alie-Cox, Drew Ogletree and Will Mallory are expected to see more snaps than normal in a bigger rotation at the position.

Eagles WR DeVonta Smith (hamstring) did not participate in practice on Friday. Smith was also not spotted at Thursday's practice after injuring his hamstring in the fourth quarter of last Sunday's game against the Panthers, though he returned to that game. The Eagles host the Cowboys on Monday night.

Cardinals S Budda Baker is questionable for Sunday's game against the Broncos with groin and illness issues. Baker was also listed as questionable with a groin injury for last Sunday's game at the Rams.

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. |
Jonah Coleman player page
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. |
Jaylen Waddle player page
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. |
Dalton Schultz player page
Seahawks S Nick Emmanwori (hip) is questionable for Sunday night's Week 7 game against the Chiefs, head coach Mike Macdonald said on Friday.

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. |
DeeJay Dallas player page
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. |
Zach Charbonnet player page
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 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. |
