Eagles WR DeVonta Smith (hamstring) did not participate in practice on Friday.

The Eagles host the Cowboys on Monday night.

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. |
Dalton Schultz player page
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. |

Texans | Tank Dell questionable but 'set to make his return' Sunday vs. Giants Fri Oct 23, 04:29 PM
Texans WR Tank Dell is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's Week 7 game against the Giants with a knee injury. Dell is set to make his return in the game. Dell has not played since suffering a leg injury in 2024.

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. |
Mike Evans player page
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. |
Deebo Samuel Sr. player page
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
Cowboys WR George Pickens (shoulder) was a full participant in practice on Friday. Pickens had been limited on Thursday. Dallas plays at the Eagles on Monday night.

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 | 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. |
Jordan Love player page
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.
| Footballguys view: Andrews practiced in full all week and wasn't in any danger of missing this game. He's a viable streamer in Week 7, but fantasy managers should note Josh Cuevas' growing role and the negative impact it could have on Andrews' outlook. |

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. |

Titans | Tyjae Spears questionable for Sunday vs. Browns Fri Oct 23, 03:41 PM
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. |

Ravens | Lamar Jackson officially questionable for Week 7 vs. Bengals Fri Oct 23, 03:33 PM

Raiders | Mike Washington Jr. questionable, Kubiak expects him to play vs. Rams Fri Oct 23, 03:28 PM
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. |

Falcons | Brian Robinson ruled out for Week 7, Khalil Herbert to be elevated as backup RB Fri Oct 23, 03:16 PM
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.

49ers | Mike Evans not at start of Friday practice Fri Oct 23, 03:15 PM
49ers WR Mike Evans was not on the field at the start of practice on Friday. Evans, who is dealing with Achilles tendinitis, was also not seen practicing on Wednesday or during the open portion of Thursday's practice. Head coach Kyle Shanahan said earlier this week he hoped Evans would play in Week 7.
| Footballguys view: Assuming Evans doesn't practice today, that's three straight DNPs to start the week. Evans is no stranger to playing through injuries, as he's already done most of this season. The ribs don't seem like much of an issue, as he's played through those in consecutive weeks. But last year's Achilles tendinitis flared up midgame and forced him out. If he's active, he's a WR2 with a wide range of outcomes, but he's trending toward missing a week. |

Raiders | Mike Washington Jr. questionable vs. Rams Fri Oct 23, 03:10 PM

Vikings | Justin Jefferson has no injury designation for Week 7 Fri Oct 23, 02:53 PM
Vikings WR Justin Jefferson (ankle) does not carry an injury designation for Sunday's Week 7 game against the Colts and is among the players ready to go. RB Jordan Mason is Minnesota's only player with a designation.
| Footballguys view: Jefferson played through this ankle injury in Week 5, got a week of rest during the bye, and will play without a designation in Week 7. Start him as a WR1. |

Rams | Puka Nacua couldn't 'have some of the power and full explosion' with calf, will test pregame Fri Oct 23, 02:33 PM
Rams head coach Sean McVay said on Friday that WR Puka Nacua stopped practicing because he felt he wasn't able to "have some of the power and full explosion" with his calf. Nacua will work out before Sunday's game against the Raiders to test the injury. He is questionable for the game, and the calf injury is believed to be minor.

Chiefs | Rashee Rice ruled out for Sunday night against Seahawks Fri Oct 23, 02:09 PM
Chiefs WR Rashee Rice (right hamstring) is out for Sunday's game against the Seahawks, head coach Andy Reid said on Friday. Rice did not practice on Wednesday or Thursday, and a knee issue was added to his injury report on Thursday.
| Footballguys view: The injury was originally dismissed as minor, but fantasy managers now brace for their third straight week without Rice. The hope was that Rice would be active after the Chiefs' Week 5 bye, but he was inactive in Week 6 and hasn't practiced since. Last week, Xavier Worthy had his best game of the season, while Jalen Royals and Andrew Armstrong ran as full-time receivers. Worthy is in the WR2 discussion, while Royals and Armstrong fall into touchdown-or-bust options desperate deep-league managers may want to consider. |
Rashee Rice player page
Vikings | Jordan Mason 'technically questionable' for Sunday, 'things are looking positive' Fri Oct 23, 02:07 PM
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. |

Ravens | Lamar Jackson says he has a high ankle sprain, 'heading in the right direction' Fri Oct 23, 01:58 PM
Ravens QB Lamar Jackson said on Friday that he is dealing with a high ankle sprain. Asked whether he will play Sunday against the Bengals, Jackson said, "Right now, I'm heading in the right direction," ESPN's Jamison Hensley reported.
| Footballguys view: The good news for fantasy managers is that the Ravens play on the early slate, so we'll know whether he's active before most games kick off. He practiced all week, and we expect him to play in this divisional matchup. Assuming Jackson is active, he's an obvious QB1. |

Browns | Quinshon Judkins 'cleared to play' Sunday at Titans Fri Oct 23, 01:38 PM
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 | Jeremiyah Love ruled out for second straight game with ankle injury Fri Oct 23, 01:33 PM
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 | Dylan Sampson listed questionable for Sunday at Titans Fri Oct 23, 01:25 PM
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. |

Ravens 'still working on' Lamar Jackson's Week 7 status, got a 'good amount of work' Friday Fri Oct 23, 01:25 PM
Ravens head coach Jesse Minter said on Friday that the team is "still working on" whether QB Lamar Jackson (ankle) will play Sunday against the Bengals. Minter said Jackson got a "pretty good amount of work in" at Friday's practice. He added that the decision will come down to how Jackson feels and how effective he will be. Jackson was limited in practice on Thursday.
| Footballguys view: Going into a divisional game against the Bengals, this might be a case of gamesmanship. Jackson practiced all week, albeit in a limited fashion, but seems on track to play. It sounds like Jackson will make the final call based on how he feels on Sunday. If he's active, start him. If not, Tyler Huntley becomes a high-end QB2. |
Lamar Jackson player page
Brian Robinson Jr. ruled out for Week 7 with hamstring injury Fri Oct 23, 01:07 PM
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
Buccaneers | Emeka Egbuka ruled out for Sunday after Bowles called him 'doubtful but leaning towards out' Fri Oct 23, 12:52 PM
Buccaneers WR Emeka Egbuka (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game at the Panthers. Head coach Todd Bowles had said on Friday, about 25 minutes before the team's injury report came out, that Egbuka was "doubtful but leaning towards out."
| Footballguys view: No surprise here with Egbuka's inability to practice all week. He'll hope to return next week, giving him two games before the Week 10 bye. Expect Chris Godwin, Ted Hurst III, Tez Johnson, and Cade Otton to see a bit more work than usual, but they're all desperation plays in fantasy. Bucky Irving, who has quietly received bell-cow usage over the last two weeks, should also be in line for extra receiving work. |
