John Bates Active In Week 7

Washington Commanders tight end John Bates (hamstring) is officially active in Week 7 against the Green Bay Packers. Bates came into this contest listed as questionable, but he got in a limited practice on Friday and has been cleared to suit up.

David Bakhtiari Inactive Against Commanders

Green Bay Packers left tackle David Bakhtiari (knee), who came into the Week 7 game against the Washington Commanders listed as questionable, is officially inactive for Sunday's game. It's a blow for the Packers offense and an upgrade for the Commanders defense this weekend. It's a downgrade for quarterback Aaron Rodgers and his protection in […]

Sammy Watkins Officially Active Against Commanders

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Sammy Watkins (hamstring) was activated from Injured Reserve on Saturday and is officially active for Week 7 against the Washington Commanders. Despite not playing since Week 2, Watkins could have a fairly significant role in the passing attack on Sunday with Randall Cobb (ankle) on IR and rookie Christian Watson […]

Chuba Hubbard Listed As Panthers Starter

The Carolina Panthers are listing running back Chuba Hubbard as their starting running back for the Week 7 matchup with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the first game since trading away star running back Christian McCaffrey to the San Francisco 49ers this week.

Josh Reynolds Active Against Cowboys

Detroit Lions wide receiver Josh Reynolds (knee) is officially active for Week 7 against the Dallas Cowboys.

The […]

D'Andre Swift Officially Inactive

Detroit Lions running back D'Andre Swift (ankle, shoulder) is officially inactive for the Week 7 game against the Dallas Cowboys.

Trey Mancini Serving As DH In Game 3

Houston Astros outfielder Trey Mancini is serving as the designated hitter and is batting seventh in Game 3 of the American League Championship Series on Saturday against the New York Yankees and right-hander Gerrit Cole.

Brett Rypien A Desperation QB2 Option In Week 7

Denver Broncos quarterback Brett Rypien will make the start in Week 7 against the New York Jets with Russell Wilson (hamstring) being ruled out. It will be Rypien's second career start, with his first coming in 2020 against the same Jets. Denver's offense ranks dead last in points per game entering Week 7, so fantasy […]

Brevin Jordan, Chris Moore Questionable Against Raiders

Houston Texans tight end Brevin Jordan (ankle) and wide receiver Chris Moore (hip) are both listed as questionable for Week 7 against the Las Vegas Raiders. Both players were full participants in practice on Thursday and Friday, so it would be a surprise if they weren't active on Sunday. Jordan hasn't played since Week 2, […]

Russell Wilson Won't Play In Week 7, Brett Rypien To Start

Denver Broncos quarterback Russell Wilson (hamstring) will be held out of the Week 7 game against the New York Jets to allow him to heal and prevent a lingering injury, according to sources.

Carson Wentz Going On Injured Reserve

The Washington Commanders are placing quarterback Carson Wentz (finger) on Injured Reserve on Saturday with a broken ring finger on his right hand, according to a source.

Arizona Cardinals rookie running back Keaontay Ingram has been forced into a bigger role in Arizona's backfield with both James Conner (ribs) and Darrel Williams (knee) dealing with injuries.

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Robbie Anderson, who was acquired from the Carolina Panthers on Monday, wasn't expected to be a big part of the offense in his debut with the team on Thursday Night Football against the New Orleans Saints. In the 42-34 win, Anderson played just 12 offensive snaps and failed to catch his […]

Deion Jones Set For Debut With Browns

The Cleveland Browns activated linebacker Deion Jones (shoulder) from Injured Reserve on Saturday, and the former Atlanta Falcons standout will make his debut with the Browns in Week 7 against the Baltimore Ravens.

Jonathan Greenard Going On Injured Reserve

Houston Texans top pass-rushing defensive end Jonathan Greenard (calf) is going on Injured Reserve after he injured his calf in practice this week, according to a source. Greenard is expected to return to the team in four to six weeks. The 25-year-old already missed the Week 5 game and wasn't ready to return this weekend […]

Odell Beckham Jr. May Not Return Until December

The realistic time frame for free-agent wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. (knee) to be recovered from his torn ACL and available to play is around mid-December, according to two team executives familiar with Beckham's situation. The Los Angeles Rams gave Beckham a low-ball offer recently, but they could increase their offer the closer OBJ gets […]

DJ Chark Officially Ruled Out For Week 7

Detroit Lions wide receiver DJ Chark (ankle) has officially been ruled out for Week 7 against the Dallas Cowboys. Last week's bye apparently wasn't enough to get Chark back onto the field, so his next chance to play for Detroit will come in Week 8 against the Miami Dolphins. The 26-year-old hasn't played since Week […]

CeeDee Lamb, Dalton Schultz Will Play Against Lions

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb (hip) and tight end Dalton Schultz (knee) don't carry injury designations into the weekend and will play in Week 7 against the Detroit Lions. Lamb was never really in danger of missing this game and is a must-start fantasy wideout, especially with quarterback Dak Prescott (thumb) returning under center […]

Hunter Renfrow, Mack Hollins Questionable Against Texans

Las Vegas Raiders wide receivers Hunter Renfrow (hip) and Mack Hollins (heel) are both listed as questionable for the Week 7 contest against the Houston Texans. Renfrow popped up on the injury report on Thursday and was a DNP, but he returned to a limited showing on Friday, giving him a chance to play Sunday. […]

Darren Waller Won't Play In Week 7

Las Vegas Raiders tight end Darren Waller (hamstring) wasn't able to practice all week and has officially been ruled out for Week 7 against the Houston Texans.

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Joshua Palmer (concussion) and Donald Parham Jr. (concussion) have both been ruled out for Week 7 against the Seattle Seahawks.

Keenan Allen Questionable Again This Week

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen (hamstring) has been deemed questionable to play in Week 7 against the Seattle Seahawks. Allen hasn't played since the season opener and will be a game-time decision on Sunday against Seattle, making him yet again an extremely shaky option for starting fantasy lineups, especially with the game coming […]

Tyler Lockett Questionable For Week 7

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Tyler Lockett (hamstring) is officially listed as questionable for the Week 7 contest against the Los Angeles Chargers. Despite the questionable tag and no practice all week, head coach Pete Carroll said that Lockett has a "really good" chance of playing on Sunday against the Bolts. Fantasy managers will need to […]
