Allgeier was able to get a bump up after a DNP for Wednesday. It appears to just be a case of rest for the 26-year-old, but fantasy managers who will consider Allgeier for Week 8 against the Cowboys if Jeremiyah Love (ankle) can’t go — Love was also limited Thursday — should keep an eye on Friday’s designation.
It’s obviously a positive development for Charbonnet, who appears to be on track for his season debut against the Bears in Week 9. Fantasy managers just have to keep in mind that the rug was pulled from underneath last week when the Seahawks ruled the tailback out late in the week. Jadarian Price (chest) was a limited participant, but fantasy managers who want to use a Seattle tailback on Monday night won’t have clarity until Saturday at the earliest.
Shaheed received positive news on his knee injury that caused him to leave Sunday’s blowout win over the Chiefs, but there’s a pretty good chance that he’s going to miss at least Week 8’s game against Chicago on Monday. Assuming that’s the case, it will lead to more snaps for Tory Horton both as a receiver and as the primary returner.
Price gets in the limited session after coach Mike Macdonald said that it was realistic that the tailback could be back Monday night against the Bears in Week 8. Zach Charbonnet was a full participant Thursday, so the Seattle backfield could finally be at full strength — or close to it, anyway — for the stretch. That’s nice for the Seahawks, but creates a lot of confusion from a fantasy perspective.
That’s back-to-back full practices for Bech after the Raiders opened up the 21-day window for the wideout. He’s worth monitoring in redraft leagues in part because the options ahead of him aren’t exactly elite, but fantasy managers don’t need to consider a stash just yet.
Parkinson will have one more chance to get back no the practice field Friday to avoid an injury designation entering the weekend. The veteran tight end was in and out of the team’s Week 7 game with the injury but managed to finish it, apparently feeling much worse after the adrenaline wore off. Fantasy managers of Parkinson and Tyler Higbee will want to track Parkinson’s status closely to end the week. An absence from Parkinson could also bring Davis Allen into the fantasy spotlight after the young tight end scored twice against the Raiders.
Golden got in a lone limited session in preparation for the team’s Week 8 meeting with the Panthers on a short week, ultimately able to go as he looks to continue to recent hot stretch in fantasy production. No limitation in expected role has been passed by the team, meaning Golden should be good to go for a normal workload against the Panthers. Fantasy managers can confidently insert him into Week 8 rosters as an upside WR2. Inactive for the Packers are TE Jonnu Smith, RB Kaleb Johnson, LB Zaire Franklin, G Donovan Jennings, C Sean Rhyan, and G Travis Glover.
The Panthers are extremely shorthanded along the offensive line and on the defensive side of the ball, most notably in the secondary and with the pass rush. That could spell trouble agains the high-powered Green Bay passing game, particularly with wide receiver Matthew Golden active. The Panthers look to halt their recent skid on the road in hostile territory at Lambeau Field.
It’s the second consecutive limited showing for the co-alpha receiver, who will likely need to upgrade to a full showing on Friday to avoid carrying an injury designation into the weekend. Pickens has played through the shoulder issue for two weeks, but the hamstring ailment is worth monitoring as the weekend approaches. Pickens is a viable WR2 in a solid matchup against the Cardinals, if active.
Burks downgraded from a limited showing Wednesday to a “DNP” Thursday, indicating he might be headed toward an absence when the Commanders take on the Eagles on Sunday Night Football. Considering the team is already without Terry McLaurin, who was lost for the season in Week 6, this would appear to be setting up for the best chance for rookie Antonio Williams to finally break out in Washington. Fantasy managers will want to confirm the status of Burks on the team’s final injury report Friday.
Diggs shook of the absence Wednesday with a full showing Thursday, indicating he is tracking well to suit up when the Commanders face off against the Eagles on Sunday Night Football. The tam previously indicated that Diggs’ modest role would not grow in the absence of Terry McLaurin, potentially paving the way for rookie Antonio Williams to see an increase in role and opportunity in the second half of the season. Fantasy managers will want to confirm Diggs’ status on the final injury report Friday, but it appears as if he will be available in Week 8.
Waddle aggravated an existing chest injury on a trick play late in the fourth quarter of Week 7. A return to the practice field, in any capacity, Thursday keeps the door open for him to be available to play the Chiefs in Week 8, although fantasy managers are likely looking for an excuse to bench the over-hyped receiver. It would be prudent to look at other viable options in a difficult matchup.
Harvey was added to the injury report Thursday after being limited in practice due to a knee injury, something fantasy managers will want to monitor as the weekend approaches. Either way, Harvey now has two healthy backs to compete with for touches with the return of Jonah Coleman in Week 7, keeping him on the fringes of FLEX consideration entering a difficult matchup against the Chiefs.
Harris missed Week 6 before the team’s Week 7 bye but could be held out for an additional week given the nature of his injury. Fantasy managers will want to confirm his status on the team’s final injury report Friday to gauge the viability of entering him back into lineups for Week 8. Fellow wide receiver Ladd McConkey (concussion) got in his second consecutive full session and should be good to go for Week 8.
It was his second consecutive limited showing following two missed games, with his level of activity Friday likely to be telling as it pertains to a potential return in Week 8. Warren’s absence has been felt hard by a Colts offense that has struggled to move the football consistently. He would likely return to a sizable role over the middle of the field against the pass-funnel Jaguars, if active in Week 8.
Adebawore, a fourth-round pick in 2023, played under 200 snaps in each of his first two seasons and was a pass-rush specialist in 2025. In 2026, he’s taken a step forward, with an 81.8 PFF grade buoyed by an 86.3 pass rush grade. It would be reasonable to expect the Colts to try to extend a player like this, but they sure didn’t seem to have any urgency to do it before the year.
Meyers has put together a pair of limited sessions out of the bye and seems likely to play against the Colts in Week 8. Brian Thomas Jr.'s disappearing act has left Meyers capable of putting up WR3 lines, but the Colts may not be opponent enough to force that kind of production out of Meyers this week.
The upgrade from “DNP” to a full session indicates St. Brown will be fine for a normal workload when the Lions face off against the Vikings Sunday, easing fantasy managers’ collective minds after the star receiver was not present at practice Wednesday. Fantasy managers will want to confirm his status on Friday’s injury report, but it certainly appears as if the team will have their veteran alpha for the divisional tilt.
Illnesses typically don’t hold back NFL players, so we’d be surprised if Henderson missed time, but it is worth noting that it was a Thursday addition to the report. Because of that, if he missed Friday, it wouldn’t be surprising if he was listed as questionable. We’d still expect him to play either way.
Back-to-back limited sessions probably leave Washington in a good spot for Week 8. He’s more likely than not to be cleared off the injury report on Friday as long as there’s not a sudden downgrade.
The return to practice comes on the heels of a missed practice Wednesday for the veteran workhorse, immediately putting fantasy managers at ease for Week 8. Managers will want to confirm his practice status Friday before making final preparations for the weekend, but it certainly appears as if Gibbs will be good to go for a normal, and massive, workload when the Lions take the field against the division rival Vikings.
Still, back-to-back practices are a good sign that Dulcich will be ready to go for Week 8’s game against the Patriots. That isn’t necessarily an endorsement of using him in fantasy football — even after last week’s surprise 5/86 against the Jets — but hey, the Dolphins will be glad he’s around.
Monangai has yet to practice after sustaining thumb and toe injuries in Week 4, with the potential that he misses his fourth consecutive game a very real possibility. The Bears held a walkthrough Thursday ahead of a Monday Night Football showdown against the Seahawks, meaning Monangai will have two more opportunities to get on the practice field ahead of Week 8. Fantasy managers are likely best making alternate arrangements considering the timing of the team’s game.
Hall appears more likely than not to play this week if he can get in one more practice on Friday. At the very least, he’s likely headed for an actual questionable tag this week. We’ll see what Aaron Glenn has to say Friday morning. Braelon Allen-reliant managers will want to pay attention to that one.
It’s an upgrade from a Wednesday limited session. We’re pretty sure Allen will play this week and was just being managed on Wednesday, but how often he’ll be playing will depend on how Breece Hall’s situation shakes out on Friday.
