The Vikings activated RB Jordan Mason from injured reserve on Saturday ahead of Sunday's Week 7 game against the Colts. Mason, who had thumb surgery, is listed as questionable for the game. To make room, Minnesota released RB DeeJay Dallas and signed him to the practice squad, and released CB Natrone Brooks.

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.

The Cardinals promoted RB Evan Hull to the roster on Saturday with rookie RB Jeremiyah Love out for a second straight game with an ankle injury. Hull will slot behind RBs Tyler Allgeier and Bam Knight for Sunday's game against the Broncos. Arizona released S Wydett Williams Jr. to make room on the roster.

The Packers activated RB Josh Jacobs from exempt status on Saturday, general manager Brian Gutekunst announced. Head coach Matt LaFleur said Friday that Jacobs was 'on track to play' after he practiced that day. Green Bay plays at the Lions on Sunday.

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. |

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 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. |
Jordan Mason player page
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. |

Broncos RB Tyler Badie (thumb) is listed as out on the Week 7 injury report. Tyler Badie did not participate in Friday's practice.

Eagles RB Saquon Barkley (hamstring) remained a limited practice participant on Friday. Barkley returned to practice on Thursday. The Eagles host the Cowboys on Monday night in Week 7.

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
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 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
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. |
David Montgomery player page
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. |

Titans RB Tyjae Spears (knee) is questionable to play Sunday against the Browns. Spears did not practice Wednesday, head coach Robert Saleh said. He was also questionable for last Sunday's game at the Colts with the knee injury.
| Footballguys view: Spears didn't practice on Wednesday, listed as "NIR-rest" on the injury report. He returned Thursday at full capacity before being limited Friday with "NIR-rest/knee." It's unclear whether he suffered a new injury or aggravated an old one. Either way, Spears was already on the edge of fantasy consideration in a tough matchup against the Browns. If he's limited at all, he becomes a fade in Week 7 lineups. |
Tyjae Spears player page
Raiders rookie RB Mike Washington Jr. is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Rams with foot/back injuries. He was limited on Wednesday and missed practice on Thursday and Friday, but head coach Klint Kubiak indicated on Friday that the team expects Washington to play. Washington played a season-high 23 snaps in Week 6, with nine carries for 43 yards. If he can't play, RB Dylan Laube will back up starter Ashton Jeanty.
| Footballguys view: Washington was limited at practice to start the week and has missed both practices since, suggesting he won't play this week. However, Kubiak's comments say otherwise. The rookie was heating up, getting double-digit touches in two of his last three games. Ashton Jeanty is off the injury report this week, and he's expected to get the bulk of the work if Washington can't go. Dylan Laube may get occasional touches, but Jeanty deserves consideration as a back-end RB1. If Washington is active, he'd take some work from Jeanty, but he's not much more than a desperation flex. |
Mike Washington Jr. player page
Falcons RB Brian Robinson (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's Week 7 game against the 49ers. Atlanta has carried only two running backs on its active roster through the first six games, and with Robinson out, the team will elevate RB Khalil Herbert to serve as the backup running back.

Raiders rookie RB Mike Washington Jr. (foot/back) is questionable for Sunday's Week 7 game against the Rams. Washington was not present at practice on Thursday and was not spotted at practice on Friday.

Vikings RB Jordan Mason is "technically questionable" for Sunday's game against the Colts, head coach Kevin O'Connell said on Friday. Mason, who was designated to return from injured reserve this week, practiced in full all week, and O'Connell said "things are looking positive" for him to play. Mason is the only Vikings player with an injury designation for the game.
| Footballguys view: The Vikings have no incentive to rush to activate Mason from IR and will likely do so as we get closer to Sunday's kickoff. Aaron Jones has been handling a massive load in Mason's absence, and this week's reports noted that he's been playing through an MCL sprain. If Mason is active, he might take on a bit more than his normal workload while Jones gets some much-deserved rest. |
Jordan Mason player page
Browns RB Quinshon Judkins is cleared to play in Sunday's Week 7 game at the Titans, per Friday's injury report. Judkins was ruled out of last Sunday's game against the Ravens after a pregame workout. Head coach Todd Monken said on Wednesday he was "optimistic" Judkins would play against Tennessee.
| Footballguys view: Judkins was a game-time decision last week, so anything other than an active status this week would have been cause for alarm. Dylan Sampson is nearing his return and is questionable for this matchup against the Titans. Judkins will cede some work to Jaleel McLaughlin and Audric Estimé, but you can start him as a solid RB2 this week. |
Quinshon Judkins player page
Cardinals RB Jeremiyah Love will miss Sunday's Week 7 game against the Broncos, head coach Mike LaFleur said on Friday. It will be the second straight game Love misses as he rests his ankle injury.
| Footballguys view: Love will miss his second straight game as he recovers from a high ankle sprain suffered this preseason. Love valiantly played through the injury, but it was starting to affect him, so the team is giving him a short-term rest. Expect Tyler Allgeier to start and Bam Knight to work in, with the latter having more appeal in PPR leagues. It's unclear exactly when Love will return, but fantasy managers with winning records might want to buy low in hopes the rookie becomes a late-season riser. |
Jeremiyah Love player page
Browns RB Dylan Sampson is questionable for Sunday's game at the Titans. Sampson has been on injured reserve with a knee injury and was designated to return. Head coach Todd Monken said on Wednesday he was "optimistic" Sampson would play against Tennessee.
| Footballguys view: Sampson's 21-day practice window opened last week, and he logged a full week of limited practices. There was hope he could upgrade to full status this week, but that didn't happen. Sampson's pass-catching skill set gives him tempting upside in PPR leagues, but fantasy managers might want to take a wait-and-see approach before adding him to lineups. |
Dylan Sampson player page
Falcons RB Brian Robinson Jr. has been ruled out for Sunday's Week 7 game against the 49ers with a hamstring injury. Robinson first appeared on Wednesday's injury report as a limited participant before being ruled out on Friday.
| Footballguys view: Not like you were thinking about benching Bijan Robinson, but his path to being this week's top-scoring running back clears with the backfield to himself. Khalil Herbert and rookie Jam Miller are on the practice squad, and one will likely be called up. But expect Bijan Robinson to handle most, if not all, of the touches. |
Brian Robinson Jr player page
Packers RB Josh Jacobs is on track to play Sunday against the Lions as long as he gets through Friday's practice and continues to trend in the right direction, head coach Matt LaFleur said on Friday. Jacobs returned to the field on Wednesday after a stint on the exempt list and took his "first handoff in a while" on Thursday.
| Footballguys view: The Packers' offense has been fantastic despite one of the league's most putrid run games. Matt LaFleur has deployed a run-first offense since Jordan Love took over in 2023, but it has leaned more toward a pass-happy attack without Jacobs through the first six weeks of this season. Jacobs may need a ramp-up period, but the Packers will hope to get him to 100 percent soon. He's an RB2 in Week 7 with RB1 upside over the second half of the season. |
Josh Jacobs player page
Dolphins RB Jaylen Wright (foot) is good to go for Sunday's game against the Jets, head coach Jeff Hafley said on Friday.
| Footballguys view: Coming out of the bye, there was hope that Wright could log a full week of practices. However, he opened the week limited, still managing the foot injury he picked up about a month ago. He'll play Sunday, but Ollie Gordon II has looked very good, and Wright may still be limited. Wright is worth a stash in case the workload shifts or Gordon gets injured, but he's little more than a desperation flex in Week 7 lineups. |
Jaylen Wright player page
Jets RB Breece Hall (quad) will be limited in practice on Friday and will be listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Dolphins, head coach Aaron Glenn said. Glenn said the decision on Hall will go to Sunday. Hall returned to practice on Thursday after missing Wednesday's session.
| Footballguys view: Braelon Allen has been fantastic in Hall's absence, so there's no need to rush Hall back into the game this week against the Dolphins. If Hall is active, he'll be ranked as an RB2, and Allen falls out of consideration. If Hall can't go, get Allen in your lineup as a high-end RB2. |
Breece Hall player page
Saints RB Alvin Kamara (back) has no injury designation and will play against the Steelers on Sunday. Kamara was limited in practice this week. He briefly left last Sunday's win over the Giants before returning to the game.
| Footballguys view: Kamara has worked through a litany of injuries since preseason but has been a sneaky fantasy play. He's the RB27 in PPR, providing high-end RB3 production. Especially with Travis Etienne Jr. still on IR, Kamara deserves consideration as an RB3/flex play this week against the Steelers. |
Alvin Kamara player page
Steelers RB Rico Dowdle (knee) has been listed as questionable for Sunday's Week 7 game against the Saints in Paris. Bad weather scrapped the team's planned walk-through at Stade de France on Friday, so the Steelers will hold their final practice on Saturday.
| Footballguys view: Dowdle missed some time due to a toe injury, unrelated to the knee injury he's currently managing. In Dowdle's absence, Jaylen Warren provided elite RB1 production. If Dowdle is active, he's a flex play and Warren is a back-end RB2. If Dowdle is inactive, Warren becomes a must-start option. With the Paris game kicking off early on Sunday, set your alarms and make sure your lineups are set correctly. |
Rico Dowdle player page
Patriots RB Rhamondre Stevenson led the team's running backs with 37 offensive snaps in Thursday's game against the Bears. RB TreVeyon Henderson played 13 snaps as his time "declines of late," and he has played 27.1% of the offensive snaps on the year. New England ran a season-low 54 offensive plays after averaging 68.

Chicago Bears RB Roschon Johnson ran 2 times for 13 yards in Thursday's 30-24 win over the New England Patriots. He was projected for 8.7 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 1.3.

New England Patriots RB Rhamondre Stevenson ran 6 times for 22 yards and also caught 5 passes for 93 yards and a touchdown on 5 targets in Thursday's 30-24 loss to the Chicago Bears. He was projected for 9.9 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 20.0.

Bears RB D'Andre Swift returned to Thursday's game against the Patriots after taking a hard hit when he caught a pass in the flat on Chicago's previous drive. Swift limped off the field but did not go into the medical tent.

Broncos rookie RB Jonah Coleman (ankle) was a full practice participant on Thursday for the second consecutive day. Coleman was designated for return from injured reserve on Wednesday and is trending toward a return for Sunday's Week 7 game at the Cardinals.
| Footballguys view: JK Dobbins is the starter, but Fantasy GMs can put Coleman in as a 'what the heck' flex against the Cardinals in Week 7. Coleman may take over in the backfield eventually, but in his first game back from a high-ankle sprain the team should choose to ease him back. |
Jonah Coleman player page
Seahawks RB Zach Charbonnet was listed as a full participant in practice again on Thursday. It is a positive sign for his chances of making his 2026 debut in Sunday night's Week 7 game against the Chiefs. Charbonnet is returning from ACL surgery on his knee.

Multiple teams would be open to a potential trade for Colts RB Jonathan Taylor, a source told ESPN's Stephen Holder. It remains unclear whether the Colts are ready to unload players before the trade deadline as they plot their next moves after firing GM Chris Ballard.
| Footballguys view: Zero surprise here. Taylor is going to be one of the most sought-after players in the trade market. The buyers are out there, and teams like the Broncos could be quite interested in Taylor. We'll see what the Colts can get for the superstar running back who has a contract that runs through his age-29 season (2028). |
Jonathan Taylor player page
Falcons RB Brian Robinson (hamstring) is "headed the wrong direction on the injury report" as of Thursday. Atlanta's injury report this week is "a very long" one ahead of Sunday's game against the 49ers.
| Footballguys view: From limited to DNP is not a good sign for Robinson's availability. If he misses Week 7, Bijan Robinson would be backed up by someone off the practice squad as Atlanta does not have three backs on the active roster. Currently, the Falcons have both Khalil Herbert and Jam Miller on the practice squad. |
Brian Robinson Jr player page
Titans RB Tony Pollard did not practice on Thursday for a non-injury reason ahead of Sunday's game against the Browns. Pollard also missed practice for a non-injury reason last Wednesday before returning in full on Thursday ahead of the Colts game.
| Footballguys view: Pollard is an RB2 as the Titans lead back. He's getting carries but not many receptions, but it's enough to plug in consistently in that RB2 range. |
Tony Pollard player page
Buccaneers RB Bucky Irving returned to practice on Thursday after missing Wednesday's session with an illness. Like QB Baker Mayfield, who appears on track to return to the lineup for Sunday's Week 7 game at the Panthers, Irving looks to be moving toward playing.
| Footballguys view: Irving is feeling better, so he should be good to go for the game against the Panthers. We like him in the RB2 range for Fantasy GMs in PPR formats. |
Bucky Irving player page
Saints RB Alvin Kamara (back) remained limited in practice on Thursday. The Saints are already in France for Sunday's Week 7 game against the Steelers and had few changes to their Thursday injury report.
| Footballguys view: Kamara has been playing at less than full strength this year. He's the passing-down back for the Saints, and that gives him RB3/flex appeal for Fantasy GMs. |
Alvin Kamara player page
Jets RB Breece Hall (quadriceps) returned to practice on Thursday, appearing on the team's injury report ahead of Sunday's game against the Dolphins. Hall did not practice Wednesday and was ruled out for Week 6 against the Patriots. Head coach Aaron Glenn said Wednesday that Hall has "always been our starter," while noting Braelon Allen is "going to get touches too."
| Footballguys view: Hall needs to practice Friday in at least a limited fashion to have a chance to play in Week 7. He's the lead back, but Allen has been exceptional while Hall has been out of action. This has the makings of an RBBC when Hall is back at full strength. |
Breece Hall player page
Colts RB Jonathan Taylor returned to practice in full on Thursday after a rest day.
Link to storyJonathan Taylor player page
Panthers RB Chuba Hubbard was a full participant in practice on Thursday. He was one of four players, along with RT Taylor Moton, LB Devin Lloyd and TE Darren Waller, who had non-injury-related rest days on Wednesday. Carolina hosts the Buccaneers on Sunday.
| Footballguys view: Hubbard is getting a large workload as the featured back for the Panthers, and he's hammering out tough yards between the tackles. They're going to give him some rest during the week, but Hubbard should be good to go for Week 7. We've got him as an RB1 against the Buccaneers. |
Chuba Hubbard player page
Raiders rookie RB Mike Washington Jr. was not present during the media viewing period of practice on Thursday. Washington was limited on Wednesday due to back and foot injuries.
| Footballguys view: Washington is not getting much work so long as Ashton Jeanty is healthy. With Jeanty not on the injury report Thursday, Washington is clearly going to continue with his backup role. If Jeanty needs a breather or misses time as he's been battling a couple of injuries, Washington would then have more fantasy value. |
Mike Washington Jr. player page
The Seahawks activated RB Zach Charbonnet from the physically unable to perform list on Thursday. Charbonnet had been on the PUP list recovering from a torn ACL and was a full participant in practice on Wednesday for the first time since returning.
| Footballguys view: Charbonnet is going to make his 2026 regular season debut in Week 7 against the Chiefs (and former teammate Kenneth Walker). While Charbonnet may not yet get a full workload, we've got him as a flex play in Week 7. As Charbonnet gets his legs under him and back into football shape, he should move into the RB2 range as per usual. |
Zach Charbonnet player page
Texans RB David Montgomery (groin) did not practice on Thursday and is expected to miss Sunday's game against the Giants.
| Footballguys view: Woody Marks was in line to be Houston's RB1 against New York with Montgomery sidelined. With that sort of workload, we think Marks produces like an RB2 for Fantasy GMs in PPR formats in Week 7. |
David Montgomery player page
Packers RB Josh Jacobs took a handoff on Thursday, described as "the first Josh Jacobs handoff in a while." Jacobs returned to the field on Wednesday after a stint on the exempt list, and the Packers said earlier in the week that he would get a "full week of work" ahead of Sunday's game at Detroit.
| Footballguys view: Packers OC Adam Stenavich says Jacobs "looks great" as the team prepares for Week 7 against the Lions. Upon his return Sunday, we have Jacobs in the RB2 range perhaps closer to a flex play. We'll see what his usage is, but the Packers could use him early and often as they need to run the ball better than they have been without Jacobs so far this year. |
