Brandon Ingram's Clippers Debut on Hold for Another Week
Los Angeles Clippers guard/forward Brandon Ingram (Achilles) will not travel for the team's upcoming games in Minnesota and Golden State, according to SI.com's Joey Linn. Ingram is making progress but will remain in Los Angeles to continue rehabbing after undergoing right heel surgery in May, when doctors also addressed a partially torn Achilles tendon. The two-time All-Star has yet to make his Clippers debut since arriving from Toronto in the Kawhi Leonard trade. With Ingram still sidelined, Los Angeles will continue to lean on its current wing rotation. However, his eventual return should take a noticeable chunk of minutes and offensive usage off the table.

Ahmad Hardy Off the Injury Report
Missouri star running back Ahmad Hardy (leg) is off of the injury report ahead of Saturday's game against Arkansas for the first time this season. Hardy has yet to make his season debut after suffering a gunshot wound over the offseason, but he reportedly logged full practice sessions on Monday and Tuesday this week. While it is undetermined if he will see the field at all, he should be set to suit up for the first time this year as the Tigers take on Arkansas. This is a monumental step in the return of one of the nation's best running backs.

Charles Davalan Getting Second Base Reps this Offseason
Los Angeles Dodgers outfield prospect Charles Davalan has been playing some second base in the Arizona Fall League, per Dylan Hernandez of the California Post. Davalan spent most of the 2026 season at High-A, hitting .292/.403/.535 with 24 home runs, 72 RBI, 103 runs scored, and 17 stolen bases across 530 plate appearances. The 22-year-old is considered to be one of the top prospects in the Dodgers system, but Los Angeles has a logjam in the outfield at both the MLB level and at the top of their farm system. Davalan has logged just five plate appearances at Double-A, so he's unlikely to be part of the Dodgers' big-league picture until late 2027 at the earliest. Still, if Davalan can prove he can survive on the infield, it could help him move faster through Los Angeles' system.

Keyone Jenkins to Start, Alonza Barnett III Questionable
UCF quarterback Keyone Jenkins is set to start Friday night's game against Baylor. Jenkins engineered last week's upset over BYU, completing 25-of-41 passes for 293 yards and three touchdowns. The Florida International transfer has done an admirable job filling in for Alonza Barnett III, and it appears that he has taken ahold of the starting job for the time being. Barnett is listed as questionable on Wednesday's availability report but even if he is active, he will not be starting.

Elijah Mitchell Offers Stash Value as Next Man Up in Philly
Philadelphia Eagles running back Elijah Mitchell made his team debut during last week's loss to the Dallas Cowboys. He carried the ball three times for 11 yards, while hauling in three of his four targets for 23 additional yards through the air. Mitchell reverted to the practice squad on Tuesday, but he has a good chance of returning for the Week 8 matchup against the Washington Commanders. The Eagles are banged up with Saquon Barkley (hamstring, back) questionable right now, and three other backs on the Injured Reserve. There's a chance that Mitchell is the lead back or No. 2 option for this weekend. Fantasy managers in need of running back help in deep leagues should consider scooping up Mitchell.

Yanic Konan Niederhauser Remains Out This Week
Los Angeles Clippers center Yanic Konan Niederhauser (foot) will not travel for the team's upcoming games in Minnesota and Golden State, according to Joey Linn of SI.com. Niederhauser is making progress but will remain in Los Angeles to continue rehabbing the Lisfranc injury that ended his rookie season after 41 games. He averaged 4.3 points, 2.9 rebounds, and 0.7 blocks in 10.3 minutes while shooting 64.0 percent from the field last year. Isaiah Jackson has opened the season as the starting center, with Brook Lopez handling a sizable role behind him, so Niederhauser may have to ease back into the rotation once cleared.

Cam Coleman Probable for Saturday
Texas wide receiver Cam Coleman (shoulder) is listed as probable ahead of Saturday's matchup with Mississippi State. Coleman left the win over Ole Miss with the injury and did not return, finishing the game with just one catch for 12 yards. Coleman's season has been disappointing from a statistical standpoint considering he is considered one of the top NFL prospects at the position. He has been outplayed by Ryan Wingo, and even Emmett Mosley V has nearly as many receiving yards as him. Coleman could be due for a breakout game this Saturday, now that it appears that he will be playing.

Max Strus to Miss Clippers' Two-Game Road Trip
Los Angeles Clippers forward Max Strus (foot) will sit out the team's upcoming road games in Minnesota and Golden State, according to Joey Linn of SI.com. He'll remain in Los Angeles to continue rehabbing the partial plantar fascia tear in his right foot. Strus is nearing the four-week mark since the injury, though the Clippers have not announced a return date. He was limited to 12 games with Cleveland last season because of a separate foot issue, averaging 11.2 points and 5.4 rebounds while shooting 40.2 percent from deep. In his absence, Keaton Wagler has settled into a steady bench role and should remain in the rotation.

Colin Simmons Questionable for Saturday
Texas superstar EDGE Colin Simmons (ankle) is listed as questionable on the initial availability report for Saturday night's game against Mississippi State. Simmons suffered the injury in the loss to Florida, and did not play in last week's win over Ole Miss. The star hopes to get back on the field sooner rather than later, but a high ankle sprain is typically a multi-week injury. Simmons leads the NCAA with 10.5 sacks on the season.

Chauncey Bowens Questionable for Saturday
Georgia running back Chauncey Bowens (foot) is listed as questionable ahead of Saturday's game against Florida. Bowens has missed the last two games with the injury and while his status appears to be improving, it is still up in the air for Saturday. If Bowens cannot go, Nate Frazier, Dwight Phillips Jr., and Bo Walker should continue to split backfield duties. Bowens has rushed for six touchdowns on the season thus far despite only playing in five games.

Dontayvion Wicks is Absent from Wednesday's Walkthrough
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Dontayvion Wicks (ankle) was a non-participant during Wednesday's walkthrough, according to Zach Berman. Wicks sat out the Week 7 loss to the Dallas Cowboys, and him being absent start of this week isn't a great start. The expectation is that he'll need to at least participate in a limited capacity to have a chance to play against the Washington Commanders in Week 8. The Eagles are banged up at wide receiver with DeVonta Smith (hamstring) absent during Wednesday's walkthrough as well. Makai Lemon could end up being the top wideout again. Fantasy managers will need to check back throughout the week for more updates on Wicks and Smith ahead of Sunday's game.

No Practice for Jaylen Waddle on Wednesday
Denver Broncos wide receiver Jaylen Waddle (chest) did not take part in the first practice of the week on Wednesday. Waddle's disappointing first season with the Broncos continued in the Week 7 win over the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday with four catches for 48 yards on seven targets, and now he is dealing with an injury and is questionable for this Sunday's clash against the division-rival Kansas City Chiefs. The 27-year-old was present during the portion of practice open to the media on Wednesday, but he went down as a non-participant on the final report. The Broncos are not ruling him out for Week 8, but Waddle will need to return to the practice field by Friday to have a shot at suiting up against the Chiefs. Waddle had just one catch on three targets for two yards in the Week 1 loss to the Chiefs, and outside of his 138-yard game in the Week 2 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars, he has barely done anything for fantasy managers. With Pat Bryant (ankle) still on Injured Reserve, Courtland Sutton, Troy Franklin, and Marvin Mims Jr. would serve as Denver's top three wideouts if Waddle is ruled out this weekend. Waddle enters Week 8 as the WR42 in half-PPR scoring with 26 catches for 276 yards and one touchdown through seven weeks in 2026.

KJ Bolden Likely a Game-Time Decision for Saturday
Georgia star safety KJ Bolden (leg) appears set to be a game-time decision ahead of Saturday's rivalry matchup with Florida. Bolden suffered the injury late in the Alabama game and missed the upset loss to Auburn. If he is unable to go, Ja'Marley Riddle should see an uptick in snaps once again. Bolden's status is a major storyline in this game, as his presence is a huge boost to the Bulldogs' defense.

Jordan Poole Exits Wednesday's Game with Ankle Injury
New Orleans Pelicans guard Jordan Poole (ankle) was ruled out for the remainder of Wednesday's game against the Denver Nuggets, the team announced. Poole had been cleared from an illness earlier in the day before suffering the ankle injury. He entered Wednesday averaging 7.3 points, 4.0 assists, and 1.3 steals in 18.7 minutes across three appearances while working behind Jeremiah Fears. With New Orleans hosting Sacramento on Thursday, Poole's status could be in doubt on the second night of the back-to-back. If he cannot go, Fears should have a little more playmaking responsibility on his plate, while Bennedict Mathurin could see a few extra minutes on the perimeter.

Joshua Baez Expected to Be Cardinals Starting Left Fielder in 2027
St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Joshua Baez is expected to get every chance to be the team's everyday left fielder in 2027, per Derrick Goold of The St. Louis Post-Dispatch. Baez made his MLB debut this past August, hitting .230/.278/.510 with seven home runs, 18 RBI, 18 runs scored, and two stolen bases across 108 plate appearances. Baez's season came to an end in mid-September after he suffered an oblique injury, but he should be fully recovered in time for 2027 Spring Training. The 23-year-old flashed high-end power upside during his time in the big leagues, posting an 11.8% barrel rate and a 47.1% hard-hit rate. However, he also struck out in 30.6% of his plate appearances. Still, if Baez gets an extended opportunity in St. Louis next season, he could be a useful power bat for fantasy managers.
