Rozeboom heads to injured reserve with five tackles and one quarterback pressure to his name. The Buccaneers correspondingly activated David Sills from injured reserve
Hockenson did the same yesterday and can be safely expected to start in Week 7 against the Colts’ beatable defense. Hockenson has seemingly developed a strong connection with Kyler Murray and can be started as a fantasy football TE1 this week.
The Vikings’ No. 1 wide receiver posted a 6/79/1 receiving line in the Vikings’ Week 5 win over the Saints. He should be feeling even better at this point, coming off a Week 6 bye. The Colts will notably be without No. 1 cornerback Sauce Gardner (calf) this weekend, making life even easier on Jefferson.
The Falcons’ No. 2 running back was limited yesterday. This series of events suggests Robinson strained his hamstring on Wednesday, putting him on the wrong side of questionable for the Falcons’ Week 6 game against the 49ers. Bijan Robinson would handle a few extra touches in Robinson’s absence. The team does not have a third running back on the active roster.
He’s firmly on the wrong side of questionable. The media air in Indianapolis this week has been spent on the firing of Chris Ballard rather than chasing down Warren’s status, but he does seem very unlikely to play and hasn’t practiced since last Thursday.
The Buccaneers’ No. 1 running back is on track to play in Week 7 against the Panthers. The offense is expected to be led by Baker Mayfield (thumb), who will play with a protective plate on his hand to prevent re-injury. Irving should be good to go this week and can be treated as a high-end RB2, as usual.
He’ll miss, at a minimum, Weeks 7-10 before being eligible to return in Week 12 after the Patriots return from their bye week. The Patriots will try to get by with Matt Pryor at guard for the time being.
It is too early to say whether Mitchell and his surgically repaired finger will be ready to face the Dolphins this week. He is a worthwhile bench stash, though. Mitchell played well early in the year, pre-injury and pre-breakout from rookie Omar Cooper. It is unclear whether Mitchell will return to the No. 2 wide receiver role or if he will be asked to unseat the youngster.
Mays seems likely to be activated off injured reserve ahead of the game given Dan Campbell’s public statements on the matter, him giving a presser today, and the trend to full sessions following the team’s Week 6 bye. It should be an upgrade for Detroit’s offensive line.
He seems likely to be activated off injured reserve after getting the Week 6 bye to get acclimated. Lions DC Kelvin Sheppard has said that Branch will not be on a snap count.
Firmly off the fantasy radar when healthy, Ridley downgraded from a limited session on Wednesday and does not seem likely to play in Week 7.
Johnson looks to be on track to returning to the field after missing Week 6, though he’s not doing anything fantasy-interesting at this point as Isaiah Likely has taken over.
It’s an upgrade from Wednesday’s limited session. Packers coach Matt LaFleur said Love was “pretty beat up” after Sunday night, but Love doesn’t appear to be in any danger of missing the game. He’ll likely be cleared off the injury report Friday.
The Browns’ short-area target earner is banged up, but he still has a chance to play in Week 7 against the Titans. Ideally, Concepcion will upgrade to full participation tomorrow. If he remains limited, he may end up being listed with a questionable tag. Stay tuned.
Watson appears to just be being managed at this point as Matt LaFleur said there are no concerns on him playing in Week 7. Two limited sessions are often a starting point for a questionable listing, but we’d be surprised if it got that far with Watson.
Golden appears to just be being managed at this point as Packers coach Matt LaFleur said there were no concerns on him playing in Week 7 on Wednesday. Two limited sessions are often a starting point for a questionable listing, but we’d be surprised if it got that far with Golden. He’ll likely be cleared off the injury report on Friday.
The Browns’ rookie field-stretcher played through his foot injury last week against the Ravens, posting just a 1/15 receiving line. Ostensibly, the foot is bothering him, but he still has a chance to suit up in Week 7 against the Titans. Hopefully, Boston upgrades to full participation tomorrow.
That’s back-to-back limited sessions from Douglas as he attempts to come back from an injury suffered in Week 2. We’d bet on him getting to the questionable line at this point given the significant layoff, but he does have a real chance to play against the Jets in Week 7 and be a WR4/FLEX candidate.
Wright played through this listing ahead of Week 5, but it appears that he simply won’t shake it this year. It makes him hard to trust him as someone who could suddenly usurp the lead role from Ollie Gordon, but we’d be surprised if he didn’t play in Week 7.
Yesterday, Browns coach Todd Monken said he was “optimistic” about Judkins’ Week 7 availability. He has a chance to face the Titans this week, after sitting out in Week 6 against the Ravens, but it would be great to resume practicing in full tomorrow. If active, Judkins could be limited to a run-centric role, with Sampson also technically being on track to play.
The Browns could get their receiving specialist back in the lineup this week, though it would be nice to see him practice fully tomorrow. Sampson injured his knee while returning a kickoff in Week 1 against the Jaguars and has been sidelined ever since.
Bateman has been playing through this shoulder injury for a while, though he was forced to leave early last week. Bateman should now be expected to play, but he is only a boom-bust FLEX option with Ja’Kobi Lane now back in the lineup.
Schultz is unlikely to play in Week 7 against the Giants, and now Texans TE4 Brevin Jordan (foot) appears to have suffered an injury. Jordan was added to the injury report today as a limited participant. The injuries elevate TE2 Foster Moreau to the streaming ranks for Week 7.
Reliable ESPN beat reporter Todd Archer notes that Pickens has had ice on his shoulder during the Cowboys’ last two games. He does not think that this injury threatens Pickens’ Week 7 availability. Thanks, Todd. Ideally, Pickens jumps back up to full participation tomorrow, and we head into Sunday carefree. Stay tuned.
It’s a new injury that popped up on Wednesday, but with two limited sessions we’re not overly concerned about Dowdle missing Sunday morning’s Civil Unrest Bowl in Paris. He’ll be in the RB3/FLEX discussion.
