J.K. Dobbins Injury Update

Baltimore Ravens running back J.K. Dobbins had seven carries during the loss to the Giants on Sunday. However, he finished with only 15 rushing yards for just over two yards per carry. Even worse, he was held without a catch and sat out the second half after his surgically repaired knee began to bother him.

The former Buckeye continues to deal with the residual effects of the knee injury that held him out last season. Without question, Dobbins is one of the most talented backs in the league. Yet, until he proves he's 100%, fantasy managers should keep him benched in Week 7 against the Cleveland Browns, if he's even available.

Marquise Brown Injury Update

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Marquise Brown caught five passes for 68 yards in the team's 19-9 loss to the Seahawks. Brown looked to suffer a potentially significant injury late in the game, as he landed awkwardly on his left leg after attempting to come down with a jump ball over 6-foot-4 cornerback Tariq Woolen.

Fantasy managers should check his status leading up to Week 7, but it looks like the Cardinals could be without their speedy wideout on Thursday night. It will be a big loss for the offense, but DeAndre Hopkins returning to action eases the blow significantly.

Kenny Pickett Injury Update

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Kenny Pickett (head) was evaluated for a concussion and ruled out of the Week 6 game versus the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Mitch Trubisky took over at quarterback. Pickett finishes the day with 68 passing yards, 16 rushing yards, and one touchdown.

As always, we can't speculate on whether or not a player will be able to clear concussion protocol, so fantasy managers in two-QB/superflex leagues will simply have to keep up with his latest update

Randall Cobb Injury Update

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Randall Cobb (ankle) suffered a high-ankle sprain during the Week 6 loss to the New York Jets. Fortunately, the veteran didn't break anything, so he should be back this season. Still, considering the nature of the injury, he probably won't be back for a while

The 32-year-old finished the day by catching his only target for eight yards, which is usually in line with what is expected out of him. Nonetheless, the veteran will next head for an MRI to determine the severity of his injury. However, considering Cobb hasn't been productive consistently, there aren't many fantasy managers in shallower leagues who will feel the effects of this one.

Deon Jackson Injury Update

Indianapolis Colts running back Deon Jackson (quad) was been ruled out early in the Week 6 game versus the Jacksonville Jaguars. He finishes the day with 42 rushing yards and one rushing touchdown, but more notably, he racked up a whopping 10 receptions and 79 receiving yards.

Phillip Lindsay finished the day as the lead back, but Jonathan Taylor (ankle) and Nyheim Hines (head) should be back as soon as Week 7. If Jackson is good to go, he might be worth keeping around in deep leagues, but Taylor should return as the Colts' true workhorse.

Cameron Brate Injury Update

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Cameron Brate (head) was ruled out of the Week 6 game versus the Pittsburgh Steelers early He left the game on a backboard after a scary collision. The veteran has movement in all of his extremities and continues to be evaluated.

Cade Otton will fill in as Tampa Bay's top tight end for the time being. If Brate has to miss time, Otton is a decent fantasy tight end in an offense that needs someone to step up.
