Earlier today, Browns coach Todd Monken said he was “optimistic” about Judkins’ availability for Week 7 against the Titans. Today’s limited session puts him on track to play, though it would be nice to see him practice in full. If active, he would be a FLEX starter.
Browns coach Todd Monken indicated earlier today that Sampson has a chance to return from injured reserve in time to face the Titans on Sunday. The Browns’ skill position corps is banged up and could use an explosive player. Sampson might end up warranting FLEX treatment right off the bat, if he is active this week.
Wednesday’s session was a walkthrough, so this is just an estimate from the team. We don’t believe it will be much of an issue for Love in Week 7. Barring a setback, Love will remain in the QB1 mix for a likely shootout with the Lions on Sunday.
This is probably just a maintenance day for the Browns’ linebacker. Schwesinger resumed practicing last Friday and ended up playing in Week 6 against the Ravens. We expect to see him resume practicing tomorrow. The Browns face the Titans in Week 7. Browns DT Mason Graham (knee/ankle) was limited.
A limited session this early in the week is usually nothing to worry about. After racking up another 100-yard game on Sunday, this time on 13 targets, Golden could use a little rest at practice. He was working his way into the WR1 ranks already, and a shootout with the Lions all but guarantees him a spot in the top 12 this week.
The Packers held a walkthrough today, so Watson’s status is only an estimate from the team. Given his lengthy injury history, fantasy managers should keep an eye on Green Bay’s injury report tomorrow, though we suspect this isn’t a major issue for Watson. Assuming he gets up to a full practice at some point this week, Watson will be a borderline WR1 for Week 7 versus Detroit.
Holland, the team’s top safety, and Greg Newsome (concussion), the team’s top cornerback, were both sidelined today. Giants LB Tremaine Edmunds (shoulder) was also sidelined. The Giants are tasked with containing a Texans’ passing offense that ties for the league lead in explosive pass plays this week.
Thomas, the team’s left tackle, plus RT Jermaine Eluemunor (calf) and backup OT Marcus Mbow (knee) were all sidelined on Wednesday. Thomas played through a questionable tag last week. This unit is ailing. They face the Texans’ capable defensive line in Week 7.
Mooney should be good to go this week, but he does not need to be on fantasy football rosters. Giants TE Theo Johnson (neck) was limited.
Terrell was back on the practice field with his teammates today. He has a chance to face the 49ers and their banged-up wide receiver corps in Week 7. Terrell is a capable coverage defender. His return is a positive for the Falcons’ defense.
Evans is already expected to miss “a little time” because of his Achilles tendinitis, so this isn’t a surprise. It’s safe to assume he’s out for at least Week 7, but the good news is that it’s not expected to be a long-term issue. Evans could be back as soon as Week 9 following the 49ers’ bye week. With Deebo Samuel all but ruled out for this week’s matchup with Atlanta, Brandin Cooks and Jordan Watkins are set for starting roles on Sunday.
Douglas told reporters that he has finally progressed to being “day-to-day,” giving him a real chance to suit up in Week 7 against the Jets. Douglas should be added in 12-team formats. He played very well early on and will likely warrant FLEX consideration upon his return.
The Dolphins’ speedy back will likely serve as a change-of-pace option behind Ollie Gordon, who has outplayed Wright since De’Von Achane’s season-ending knee injury. Wright does not need to be rostered in 12-team formats.
ESPN’s Marcel Louis-Jacques reports that Willis received treatment for his thumb injury on his right, throwing hand, though he did not share what exactly the injury is. Hopefully, it is nothing serious. If his ball placement is impacted, the Jets’ D/ST would benefit. Willis is a volatile QB2 against them this week. Willis underwent surgery on his left thumb in August 2025.
It’s the first time we’ve seen Young o the injury report with this knee issue, though a full practice today is nothing to worry about. He will be good to go for his date with the Bucs. Young is currently the QB4 by fantasy points per game. Even if he does cool down this week, Young should be in most starting fantasy lineups.
Dillon didn’t practice last week and was ruled out on Friday. He should be good for Week 7, barring a setback in practice. Dillon will back up Chuba Hubbard, though Trevor Etienne could also see a few snaps.
Monangai will miss his third game in a row this week. Exactly two weeks ago, ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reported that Monangai’s turf toe injury would be an issue for 1-2 weeks. Technically, his statement remains accurate. This week’s Thursday Night Football game complicates things. If the Bears thought Monangai would miss four games, they likely would have put him on injured reserve, so he should, theoretically, be able to play in Week 8 against the Seahawks. Of course, nothing is guaranteed, and for those wondering, the Bears go on bye in Week 10. D’Andre Swift and Roschon Johnson have been splitting touches with Monangai sidelined. We do not yet know if Johnson will be punished for last week’s fumble though.
Jackson was not spotted during the portion of practice open to the media but apparently participated in some capacity later in the session. We still wouldn’t be surprised if the team listed him as a DNP on their official injury report. Jackson was also spotted in street clothes after the practice and appeared to have a bit of a limp. Despite Minter’s comments, we fully expect Jackson to miss another week. Tyler Huntley will draw the start versus Cincinnati if Jackson is ruled out.
Players missing time because of an illness this early in the weekend almost always get cleared to play by Sunday. We expect no difference from Irving. Coming off his third 20-touch game of the year, Irving remains a high-end RB2 for his Week 7 date with the Panthers.
This is great news. Jackson is one of the best guards in football. Bears LB T.J. Edwards (hamstring) is doubtful, Jack Sanborn (concussion) has been ruled out, and CB Tyrique Stevenson (hip) is questionable.
Egbuka finished the Bucs’ overtime loss to the Steelers, so his concussion symptoms likely arose in the hours or days after the game. He will now need to pass through the league’s concussion protocol to be cleared for Week 7. Players typically miss one game while in the protocol, and we don’t know the severity of his foot injury. Fantasy managers should prepare to be without him for at least a week. His absence would free up more looks for Chris Godwin and rookie Ted Hurst, both of whom would be in the WR4 mix if Egbuka can’t go.
The Patriots will also be without RG Ben Brown (knee). The Bears’ defense is not an elite unit, but losing two starting guards is rough. Backups Matt Pryor and Walter Rouse will start instead. The Patriots listed RT Morgan Moses (foot) as questionable.
The Patriots will also be without their top-two backup CBs, Karon Prunty (hamstring) and Channing Canada (hamstring). The Patriots listed S Kevin Byard (chest), S Craig Woodson (shoulder) and LB Christian Elliss (chest) as questionable. This is good news for the Bears’ passing attack.
Mayfield going down as a full participant is a bit of a surprise given that it’s his first time practicing in any capacity since Week 3. Todd Bowles told reporters earlier this week that the team was preparing for Jalon Daniels to start. Now it looks like Mayfield may be the favorite to draw the start versus Carolina. This is ultimately a rather ambiguous situation, likely by Bowles’ design. Fantasy managers should have a backup plan in place if they are counting on either of the Bucs’ quarterbacks this week.
Tucker should be back after missing Week 6’s loss to the Steelers. He doesn’t offer much fantasy value of his own, but he does occasionally plunder goal-line work from Bucky Irving. Expect him to be a thorn in Irving’s side again this week.
