Falcons | Brian Robinson 'headed the wrong direction' on injury report Thu Oct 22, 06:14 PM
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.

Buccaneers | Bucky Irving returns to practice Thursday Thu Oct 22, 04:24 PM
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.

Saints | Alvin Kamara remains limited in Thursday practice Thu Oct 22, 04:23 PM
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.

Jets | Breece Hall back to practice Thursday Thu Oct 22, 04:03 PM
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. |

Panthers | Chuba Hubbard back to full practice Thursday after Wednesday rest day Thu Oct 22, 03:30 PM
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. |

Raiders | Mike Washington Jr. not present at Thursday practice Thu Oct 22, 03:17 PM
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. |

Seahawks | Zach Charbonnet activated from PUP list Thu Oct 22, 02:01 PM
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. |

Texans | David Montgomery not practicing, expected to miss Sunday vs. Giants Thu Oct 22, 01:19 PM
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. |

Packers | Josh Jacobs takes 'first handoff in a while' as he works back toward Lions game Thu Oct 22, 12:58 PM
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. |

Colts | Jonathan Taylor 'haven't given it any thought' on future, trade deadline Thu Oct 22, 12:43 PM
Colts RB Jonathan Taylor said on Thursday he has not thought about his future or the trade deadline. "I haven't given it any thought. ... I think it would be a discredit and a disservice to my teammates and this whole organization to think about what could, what should, what may be," Taylor said.
| Footballguys view: If Taylor is on the block as the Colts look to the future, several teams would be interested in the superstar running back. The trade deadline is still around a few weeks away, but there might be some activity in the NFL soon. Taylor is going to be a top target, along with Saquon Barkley and Tony Pollard, for teams looking to trade for running back help. |

Giants | Nagy calls Skattebo a 'true pro' after demotion, appears 'out of the doghouse' Thu Oct 22, 11:53 AM
Giants OC Matt Nagy said on Thursday that RB Cam Skattebo handled last week's demotion in an "impressive" way, calling him a "true pro." Skattebo played only six snaps in Sunday's 34-27 loss to the Saints, with RB Devin Singletary leading the Giants' backfield. Nagy's comments suggest Skattebo is out of the doghouse.
| Footballguys view: Skattebo was in the doghouse a week ago due to fumbling. Now, we'll see if one of these Giants' elevates their game. Tyrone Tracy, Skattebo, and Singletary will work to establish a hot hand. Coming out of the doghouse, Fantasy GMs should only trust Skattebo this week as a deep flex. If he takes the main job back, then his fantasy value gets back to the RB2 range. |

Eagles | Saquon Barkley expected back at practice Thursday, 'in line to play' Monday vs. Cowboys Thu Oct 22, 09:32 AM
Eagles RB Saquon Barkley (hamstring) is expected to return to practice on Thursday and is in line to play Monday against the Cowboys, sources say. Barkley was ruled out of Sunday's loss to the Panthers with the hamstring injury. His return would be a lift for an offense with a banged-up backfield.
| Footballguys view: The game is on Monday Night Football, so we'll have to see what Barkley's status is on Saturday. Barkley has been out of action with this hamstring injury since Week 4. They won't have Jalen Hurts, but getting Barkley back is huge for the offense in what has to be considered a must-win game. We like him in the RB2 range this week from a fantasy perspective. |

Broncos | Jonah Coleman designated to return, full in practice Wed Oct 21, 10:09 PM
Broncos rookie RB Jonah Coleman was designated to return from injured reserve and was a full participant in practice on Wednesday. Coleman suffered a high-ankle sprain on his first touch against the Jaguars in September.

Seahawks | Zach Charbonnet a full participant for first time since returning from torn ACL Wed Oct 21, 06:55 PM
Seahawks RB Zach Charbonnet was listed as a full participant in practice on Wednesday for the first time since he returned to practice on Oct. 1 following a torn ACL. He had been listed as limited on every injury report from then until Wednesday. Seattle must activate Charbonnet off the PUP list by Thursday, and head coach Mike Macdonald said Monday there was 'a chance' he returns this week.
| Footballguys view: Macdonald said there was a 'good chance' Charbonnet returns in Week 7. The Seahawks have struggled to run the ball this year, and Charbonnet's return is a welcome one for this offense. If Charbonnet plays against the Chiefs in Week 7, Fantasy GMs should be considering him as a flex play (at least). We'll know more about his playing status later in the week, and that could move him into the RB2 range for Fantasy GMs in PPR formats. Stay tuned. |

Bears | Kyle Monangai ruled out for Thursday vs. Patriots Wed Oct 21, 03:06 PM
Bears RB Kyle Monangai (toe) has been ruled out for Thursday's Week 7 game against the Patriots. Monangai did not practice on Monday or Tuesday.
| Footballguys view: This will be the third game in a row that Monangai is going to miss. A turf-toe injury can be complicated to recover from, so the team is taking a safe approach. Since they didn't put him on Injured Reserve, it's logical to believe Monangai could return to the football field in Week 8. D'Andre Swift and Roschon Johnson carry the load for the Bears on the ground in Week 7. |

Cardinals | Jeremiyah Love's ankle doesn't 'seem to bother' him at youth event Wed Oct 21, 03:00 PM
Cardinals rookie RB Jeremiyah Love moved without apparent trouble at the team's Jr. Cardinals Flag Football kickoff event on Wednesday. "A few stutter steps, light cuts and horizontal movement don't seem to bother Love's ankle," based on video of Love with the kids at the event. Love missed last week's game against the Rams with the ankle injury.
| Footballguys view: After missing last week's game, it would've been nice to see Love out there on the first day of preparation for Week 7 against the Broncos. Instead, the talented rookie seems to be on the wrong side of questionable. Let's all circle back to see if he can at least be limited on Friday. Tyler Allgeier would get more work against the Broncos if Love can't play. |

Texans | Woody Marks RB1 vs. Giants as Montgomery remains sidelined Wed Oct 21, 01:54 PM
Texans RB Woody Marks will be the team's RB1 against the Giants in Week 7 as RB David Montgomery remains sidelined with a groin injury. RB Dare Ogunbowale and practice squad RB Deuce Vaughn are the backups, with RB Jawhar Jordan on the practice squad injured list.
| Footballguys view: Marks ran 15 times for 56 yards in their Week 6 win over the Jaguars, plus he had two catches for 25 yards on three targets. He's a mid-range RB2 for Fantasy GMs in PPR formats with that role. |

Panthers | Chuba Hubbard on the side with trainers as Wednesday practice begins Wed Oct 21, 01:31 PM
Panthers RB Chuba Hubbard was among the players on the side with trainers as individual drills began at Wednesday's practice. No reason was given. Players were in helmets only on Wednesday, so it could be a light practice. Hubbard ran for 120 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's win over the Eagles.
| Footballguys view: Hubbard picked up some tough yards against the Eagles, so he could be getting some veteran rest here. He should be fine for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, and we like Hubbard as a low-end RB1. |

Titans | Tyjae Spears won't practice Wednesday, Saleh says Wed Oct 21, 12:28 PM
Titans RB Tyjae Spears will not practice on Wednesday, head coach Robert Saleh said. Spears was dealing with a knee injury last week, when he was downgraded to a non-participant on Thursday and listed as questionable for Sunday's game at the Colts. The Titans host the Browns on Sunday.
| Footballguys view: Spears recorded one carry (one yard) and one reception (seven yards) in the Titans' Week 6 win over the Colts. He's just not getting used enough to have fantasy relevance at this time. If/when the Titans trade Tony Pollard, then Spears' role would grow into at least flex-worthy territory. |

Jets | Aaron Glenn: Breece Hall 'always been our starter,' but Allen 'going to get touches too' Wed Oct 21, 12:18 PM
Jets head coach Aaron Glenn said on Wednesday that RB Breece Hall will remain the starter when he returns from his quadriceps injury, but RB Braelon Allen will still have a role. "Breece is our starter, he's always been our starter, but Braelon is going to get touches too," Glenn said when asked about the backfield roles based on how Allen has been playing. Hall is not practicing on Wednesday.
| Footballguys view: Hall may not be able to return in Week 7. He's been injured for about a month, but the team did not place him on Injured Reserve. Allen has been productive as the starter and lead back for the Jets while Hall has been out. When Hall returns, Allen should be more involved than he was previously when Hall was healthy. |

Jets | Breece Hall won't practice Wednesday Wed Oct 21, 12:12 PM
Jets RB Breece Hall will not practice on Wednesday. Hall has been dealing with a quad injury that kept him out of the Jets' Week 6 game against the Patriots. The Jets host the Dolphins on Sunday.
| Footballguys view: Hall injured his quad in Week 3, and he hasn't played since then. He's getting closer to a return but could still miss Week 7. That makes Braelon Allen the Jets' lead back again, and we like him as an RB2/flex option for Fantasy GMs. |

Browns | Todd Monken 'optimistic' Judkins, Sampson will play vs. Titans Wed Oct 21, 12:10 PM
Browns head coach Todd Monken said on Wednesday that he is optimistic both RB Quinshon Judkins and RB Dylan Sampson will play against the Titans on Sunday. Judkins was ruled out of last Sunday's game against the Ravens after a pregame workout. Sampson has been on injured reserve with a knee injury suffered in the season opener and returned to practice last week.
| Footballguys view: Judkins should be the lead ball-carrier for the Browns now that he's likely to be back in action. We've got Judkins in the RB3/flex range for Fantasy GMs this week. Sampson is a dynamic player in space, and the Browns could use him as their primary receiving back. |

Packers RB Josh Jacobs is back on the field Wednesday after a stint on the Commissioner Exempt List. Jacobs is expected to get a full week of work ahead of Sunday's Week 7 game at Detroit.
| Footballguys view: Packers HC Matt LaFleur said he is undecided on whether or not Jacobs will play in Week 7 against the Lions. With no idea of his usage upon his return, Fantasy GMs should look at him as a 'what the heck' flex in Week 7 (if he plays). |

Bears RB Kyle Monangai (toe) was listed as a non-participant on Tuesday's estimated injury report after the team held a walkthrough.

Eagles | Eagles down to two RBs, 'could be a sign' Saquon Barkley returns for Week 7 Tue Oct 20, 04:44 PM
The Eagles have just two running backs on their 53-man roster, Saquon Barkley and Dameon Pierce, after waiving RB Jaydon Blue and waiving/injuring RB Carson Steele on Tuesday, ESPN's Adam Schefter reported.
| Footballguys view: The team also signed RB Elijah Mitchell to its practice squad and released RB Ian Wheeler from it. The moves "could be a sign" that Eagles RB Barkley, who has been dealing with a hamstring injury, "will be back in the mix" for the Week 7 game against the Cowboys. We'll be watching for more. |

Giants | Giants release RB Najee Harris Tue Oct 20, 10:59 AM
The Giants released RB Najee Harris on Tuesday. Harris had started Sunday's game after Cam Skattebo was "downgraded" following fumbles.
| Footballguys view: Despite running as the starter, Harris only carried the ball four times. He told reporters after the game that "it's hard to get in a rhythm with one or two plays," admitting that he has "never been through none of this before". Harbaugh, asked about Harris' comments, said that the rushing attack "hasn't earned" a "circumstance" like that of Baltimore Ravens' Derrick Henry or Philadelphia Eagles' Saquon Barkley. It appears Harbaugh and the Giants have added the last word. We'll be watching for more on the running back rotations heading into Sunday's game against the Texans. |

Bears showing 'mindfulness to preserve' D'Andre Swift, Roschon Johnson takes second-half work Tue Oct 20, 09:46 AM
Bears RB D'Andre Swift had only four of his 16 carries (44 yards, two touchdowns) after halftime in Sunday's win over the Falcons, as the team managed his workload and rode RB Roschon Johnson as what it felt was the hot hand late in the game. Swift's second-half usage has been a topic since Week 4. "I think there's a mindfulness to preserve him a little bit. It's a long season," offensive coordinator Press Taylor said.
| Footballguys view: Taylor added that Johnson "was really contributing pretty well for us in a number of aspects" and "showed up in the pass game quite a bit" despite a fourth-quarter fumble. "Swifty was ready to go if we needed it," Taylor said. The good news? Even with a quiet fourth quarter, Swift finished the week as RB5 with 23 points. He's also RB10 for the season. So even if a timeshare isn't ideal, it's not crushing Swift's value. |

Patriots | TreVeyon Henderson a full participant to open short week Tue Oct 20, 12:10 AM
Patriots RB TreVeyon Henderson was listed as a full participant on Monday's estimated injury report after the team held only a walkthrough to open the short week before Thursday's game against the Bears.
| Footballguys view: Henderson had 40 yards from scrimmage in Sunday's 26-19 win over the Jets despite being questionable with a high ankle sprain. He had been limited throughout last week but did not miss a practice. |

Seahawks | Zach Charbonnet heading to practice as PUP deadline nears Tue Oct 20, 12:10 AM
Seahawks RB Zach Charbonnet, who is on the PUP list while recovering from ACL surgery on his knee, must be activated by Thursday. Head coach Mike Macdonald said on Monday there is "a chance" Charbonnet returns this week.
| Footballguys view: Charbonnet remains on the reserve/physically unable to perform list after tearing the ACL in his left knee on his fifth carry in the divisional round of the 2025 playoffs. He underwent surgery on Feb. 20. The Seahawks opened his 21-day return-to-practice window on Oct. 1, so he must return to the active roster this week to avoid finishing the season on PUP. Charbonnet ran for 730 yards and 12 touchdowns on 184 carries in the 2025 regular season, while sharing carries with Ken Walker III. We'll be watching this closely. |

The Seahawks will have to activate RB Zach Charbonnet (knee) off the PUP list by Thursday, which will be 21 days after he was designated to return to practice. Seattle only needs to move him from PUP to the 53-man roster by then and does not necessarily have to play him in Sunday night's game against the Chiefs.

Vikings | Jordan Mason designated for return from IR, expected back at practice Wednesday Mon Oct 19, 04:31 PM
The Vikings designated RB Jordan Mason for return from injured reserve on Monday. Mason, who has been sidelined following thumb surgery, is expected to be back at practice on Wednesday.
| Footballguys view: ESPN's Ben Solak wrote last week that the impending return of Mason, viewed as a co-starter before injuring his thumb, should not be underrated. Solak said the Vikings "want to do so much more in the designed running game with Kyler Murray and in the power play-action game with Mason as a bruising back." As impressive as Aaron Jones has been in Mason's absence, we should expect the two to resume sharing time with Mason back. Proactive fantasy managers should be checking Mason's availability in their leagues, and Jones investors might want to start resetting their expectations. |

Packers | Josh Jacobs to get 'full week of work', status for Lions game TBD Mon Oct 19, 04:12 PM
Packers RB Josh Jacobs will practice on Wednesday and get a full week of work, coach Matt LaFleur said on Monday, but whether he plays Sunday at Detroit has not been determined. "We feel like he's in a pretty good spot. He's been training, but he's missed the exposure to football," LaFleur said. Jacobs is coming off the Commissioner Exempt List and is eligible to play in Week 7.
| Footballguys view: Jacobs has been unable to practice with the team since he went on the exempt list. So a ramp-up to get into game shape will be necessary. We spoke with Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel beat writer Tom Silverstein Sunday, and he suggested it could be a couple of games before we get the full Jacobs experience. Green Bay plays the Lions Sunday before hosting the Carolina Panthers on Thursday night in Week 8. |

Bengals | Bengals will 'continually assess' touch share between Perine, Chase Brown Mon Oct 19, 01:06 PM
Bengals RB Samaje Perine could see an increased workload in Week 7 against the Ravens after running for a season-high 68 yards on 14 carries in Week 5.
| Footballguys view: RB Chase Brown has been Cincinnati's lead back but is averaging just 3.0 yards per carry, and the Bengals' rushing attack ranks 27th in the NFL. "I think we'll continually assess how that touch share between (Perine) and Chase Brown should play out," offensive coordinator Dan Pitcher said. "Every game's different. What type of scheme we lean into is going to factor into that." While Brown remains a viable starting option, if the shift to involve Perine persists, we'll have become more aggressive with his projections. |

| Footballguys view: According to ESPN.com's Jordan Raanan, the split was "a little slanted because they were in comeback mode but this was clearly an altered rotation." Still, Raanan reports that Skattebo is expected to be "more in the mix" in Week 7 against the Texans. |

Eagles | Eagles could face Cowboys with 'just Pierce and' Jaydon Blue as Barkley still not practicing Mon Oct 19, 03:00 AM
Eagles RB Saquon Barkley still has not practiced as he works back from the hamstring injury he suffered in the Rams game, and with Tank Bigsby and Will Shipley out for multiple weeks, Philadelphia could go into its Week 7 Monday night game against the Cowboys with just RB Dameon Pierce and RB Jaydon Blue.
| Footballguys view: Pierce has averaged 1.3 and 2.9 yards per carry over the last two weeks, and the Eagles have run 31 times for 57 yards in losses to the Jaguars and Panthers, including 35 yards on 13 carries Sunday. Head coach Nick Sirianni pointed to the Panthers' lead for the lack of runs Sunday, saying, "Obviously, right now we're not running the ball the way we want to." With Jalen Hurts now out for the rest of the season, it's fair to wonder how hard the Eagles will push to get Barkley back in the mix. |
