Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott said that both linebackers Matt Milano (pectoral) and Terrel Bernard (ankle) are day-to-day with their injuries, according to Maddy Glab of BuffaloBills.com. Milano has missed three of the team's last four games with his pec injury, while Bernard injured his ankle in the Monday night loss to the Atlanta Falcons. The good news is that Buffalo is on their bye in Week 8, so their defense may have both Milano and Bernard available for their next contest in Week 9 versus the Carolina Panthers. Shaq Thompson has been filling in for Milano after he aggravated his chest injury in Week 5. Buffalo's defense definitely was overmatched against a star-studded Falcons offense on Monday night, but it sounds like they could be closer to full strength on that side of the ball following their bye in Week 7.

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver
Alec Pierce caught two of his four targets for 48 yards in a 31-27 win over the Arizona Cardinals in Week 6. Pierce made his return to the field after missing the two previous games with a concussion. The veteran immediately returned to his role as the team's field stretcher, hauling in passes of 26 and 22 yards in the close win. Pierce has just 11 catches on the season but has turned that into 219 yards, good for a 19.9 yards per catch average. The veteran receiver will now get ready to face off against the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 7. He sets up as a boom/bust flex option for that contest.

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver
Michael Pittman Jr. turned in a slow performance in a 31-27 win over the Arizona Cardinals in Week 6. Pittman caught just two of his three targets for 20 yards in the close win, breaking a five-game streak where he caught at least four passes or a touchdown. The veteran took a backseat to
Tyler Warren and
Josh Downs against Arizona, but he had been operating as the Colts' top wide receiver in the five previous games before Week 6's win over the Cardinals. Pittman will now look to bounce back in Week 7's road matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers. He can be deployed as a WR3 in fantasy for that contest.

Cleveland Browns wide receiver
Isaiah Bond turned in a quiet outing in a 23-9 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 6. Bond caught two of his five targets for nine yards in the loss in his least productive game since Week 2 against the Baltimore Ravens. The rookie wideout had been trending upward before the poor outing in Week 6, but now has just 11 catches for 123 scoreless yards in six games. He will look to bounce back at home in Week 7 against the Miami Dolphins. Fantasy managers can likely find a better flex option sitting on waiver wires this week.

Cleveland Browns wide receiver
Jerry Jeudy caught five of his 13 targets for 43 yards in a 23-9 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 6. Jeudy led the team in targets but continued his season-long trend of doing very little with his opportunities as he was held to 48 receiving yards or fewer for the fourth straight game. Overall, Jeudy has caught 20 passes for 240 scoreless yards through five games as Cleveland's No. 1 receiver. He will now head back home to face off against the Miami Dolphins in Week 7. The Dolphins are allowing just the 23rd-most fantasy points per game to opposing wideouts, leaving Jeudy as a low-end flex option for his upcoming weekend.

Cleveland Browns wide receiver
David Bell (hip) announced on his X account on Tuesday that he is retiring from professional football. Bell will call it quits after suffering an off-the-field hip injury that put him on the Non-Football Injury list entering the 2025 season. The 24-year-old was a third-round selection by the Browns in the 2022 NFL draft out of Purdue. He never ended up being much of an asset for the Browns' passing game in his three seasons in the NFL, and his best showing came in his rookie campaign when he caught 24 of his 35 targets for 214 yards and no touchdowns in 16 games (three starts) in 2022. Bell will finish his short NFL career with 41 receptions, 408 receiving yards, and three touchdowns (all in 2023) in 32 games played (six starts).

Cleveland Browns running back
Quinshon Judkins turned in a slow outing in a 23-9 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 6. Judkins carried the ball 12 times for just 36 yards while failing to catch his lone target on a rough afternoon for the Cleveland offense against their division rivals. The slow outing was Judkins' first dud since he signed his contract before Week 2, as the rookie had been remarkably consistent up until Week 6. He will look to bounce back against a Miami Dolphins defense that is allowing the fifth-most fantasy points per game to opposing running backs in 2025. Judkins can be treated as a low-end RB1 heading into Week 7.

Cleveland Browns quarterback
Dillon Gabriel completed 29 of his 52 pass attempts for 221 yards and no touchdowns in a 23-9 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 6. Gabriel struggled to get much going against a struggling Pittsburgh defense, leading his team to just three field goals while averaging just 4.3 passing yards per attempt in his second career start. The rookie signal caller has now thrown for 430 yards and three touchdowns while completing 57.3% of his passes thus far. Gabriel will now look to bounce back against a Miami Dolphins defense that is allowing 29 points per game, fourth-most in the NFL. That being said, Gabriel will be tough to trust as anything more than a high-end QB3 in Week 7.

For the second straight day this week on Tuesday, Cincinnati Bengals All-Pro pass-rusher Trey Hendrickson (hip) was listed as a non-participant after injuring his hip in Sunday's loss at Lambeau Field to the Green Bay Packers, according to Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic. Hendrickson was labeled as day-to-day by the Bengals on Monday, and it remains unclear if he will be able to play on Thursday night against the division-rival Pittsburgh Steelers. It could come down to a game-time decision. The 30-year-old is by far and away the team's best defensive player, so losing Hendrickson in Week 7 would be a big blow as Cincy looks to put an end to its losing streak. Fantasy managers in IDP leagues better have a backup plan in place this week. After recording 17.5 sacks in back-to-back seasons in 2023 and 2024, Hendrickson has four sacks through six games in 2025.

Green Bay Packers running back
Josh Jacobs has been a monster contributor for the Packers this season and is looking like not just one of the best running backs in fantasy, but in the NFL as well. Finishing RB2 in Week 4 and RB3 in Week 6, Jacobs has put together two straight weeks of 30 or more fantasy points. What has been the difference? Well, Jacobs has gotten into the end zone twice on the ground on an excellent 4.5 yards per carry. What's helping him achieve this upside is the receiving aspect of Jacobs' game. Over the last three contests, Jacobs has averaged six targets, five receptions, and 57 receiving yards per game, which takes a good fantasy running back and makes him great. Against the Arizona Cardinals in Week 7, lock Jacobs in as a top-end fantasy RB1.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver
Romeo Doubs has been a consistently inconsistent fantasy receiver throughout his career, with spike week games followed by games where he flat out disappears. In a Packers' offense that trends aggressively this season with downfield throws, quarterback
Jordan Love has been one of the best quarterbacks in the league in EPA per play and other similar metrics. For fantasy, we haven't seen that materialize to consistent fantasy success, but Doubs has been excellent over the last two games for the Packers. With a combined 17 targets and a 31 percent first-read target rate, Love is utilizing Doubs as his most consistent target through five games, but especially in recent games, as Doubs has had his two best fantasy finishes of the season (WR3 and WR30) in the last two weeks. For fantasy, Doubs has earned WR3 or high-end flex treatment in Week 7 against the Arizona Cardinals.

Cincinnati Bengals tight end
Tanner Hudson (concussion) remains in the league's concussion protocol and was listed as a non-participant in practice on Tuesday for the second straight day this week, according to Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic. Hudson suffered a concussion in the Week 6 loss to the Green Bay Packers on Sunday and probably isn't going to be cleared in time to face the division-rival Pittsburgh Steelers on Thursday Night Football. In addition to Hudson, fellow TE
Mike Gesicki (pectoral) suffered an injury on Sunday and is expected to be out for a while. That will leave
Noah Fant as the team's likely top pass-catching tight end for Thursday night's game.
Drew Sample and
Cam Grandy could also have elevated roles. Fant, a former first-rounder by the Denver Broncos, has been efficient in limited work this year, catching 16 of his 18 targets for 107 yards and a touchdown.

After visiting with the Denver Broncos on Tuesday, former Tennessee Titans first-round wide receiver
Treylon Burks will take a visit with the Washington Commanders on Wednesday, a source told Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. Despite not being able to avoid injuries early in his career with the Titans, Burks is one of the top free agents on the market in the middle of the 2025 season and should be scooped up sooner rather than later. The Commanders have a more immediate need for receiving depth right now, given injuries to
Terry McLaurin (quadriceps) and
Noah Brown (groin, knee). Veteran
Deebo Samuel Sr. (heel) also didn't look 100% in the Monday night loss to the Chicago Bears. The fact that Burks is taking visits with interested teams means that he should be healed from the broken collarbone that he suffered in July.

Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott said on Tuesday that wide receiver
Joshua Palmer (ankle) is "week-to-week" after he suffered an ankle injury in the Monday night loss to the Atlanta Falcons and was unable to return, according to The Athletic's Joe Buscaglia. Palmer injured his ankle in the first half of Monday night's contest when he was tackled awkwardly, and he was unable to return to the game. He finished with two catches for 60 yards. Buffalo's bye in Week 7 is coming at a good time for Palmer, but his week-to-week designation means he won't be a lock to be ready when the Bills return to action on Oct. 26 in Week 8 against the Carolina Panthers. The 26-year-old has failed to stand out in his first year in Buffalo in an offense that continues to spread the ball around. Palmer has only 14 catches on 20 targets for 234 yards and no scores in six games. He'll be a popular drop candidate by fantasy managers with the Bills on bye in Week 7.

Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott said on Tuesday that tight end
Dalton Kincaid (oblique), who did not play in the Monday night loss to the Atlanta Falcons in Week 6, is "day-to-day," according to Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic. Additionally, veteran wide receiver
Curtis Samuel (neck, ribs) is also considered day-to-day. Kincaid's injury isn't very serious, which is great news, especially with the Bills on their bye in Week 7. It means that both Kincaid and Samuel should be ready to go when the team returns to action in Week 8 to face the Carolina Panthers on the road on Oct. 26. Buffalo's offense struggled on Monday night against an improved Atlanta defense without Kincaid in the mix. Backup
Dawson Knox found the end zone for the first time this year on Monday with Kincaid out, but it was his only catch of the game on just two targets. Fantasy managers looking for TE reinforcements going forward should probably avoid Knox.
