Fantasy Football News

Eagles WR DeVonta Smith (hamstring) did not practice on Thursday. Smith, of course, missed Weeks 4 and 5 with a hamstring injury. It's unclear if he had a setback or is just getting some early-week rest, but it's worth noting that Smith was targeted on Philly's last offensive snap vs. the Panthers. We're still tentatively expecting him to play vs. the Cowboys on Monday night but will update his status again tomorrow.

Rams WR Puka Nacua was limited in Thursday's practice with a new calf injury. ESPN's Sarah Barshop confirms that Nacua suffered the injury today, putting him in danger of missing this weekend's game vs. the Raiders. We'll look for further updates and see how Nacua is listed on Friday's final injury report. With WR Davante Adams out with his hamstring injury, Nacua's absence would leave the Rams with WRs Konata Mumpfield, Jordan Whittington, and Tutu Atwell atop the depth chart -- and likely push more targets to the TEs and RBs.

Jets RB Breece Hall (quad) got in a limited practice on Thursday, his first since going down in Week 3. That gives Hall a chance to play vs. the Dolphins this weekend, but we'll see what he does tomorrow and how he's listed on the final injury report.

Buccaneers WR Emeka Egbuka (concussion, foot) remained sidelined for Thursday's practice. He was working off to the side with a trainer, according to Fox Sports' Greg Auman, so he's made some progress through the protocol. But Egbuka still looks likely to miss Sunday's game vs. the Panthers. That'd leave Chris Godwin, Ted Hurst, and Tez Johnson as Tampa Bay's top 3 WRs.

The Texans placed RB Jawhar Jordan on the practice squad injured list with a quad injury. He's out for Sunday's game vs. the Giants. Jordan was the No. 2 RB last week with David Montgomery out, handling 6 carries and 1 target on a 22% snap rate. With Montgomery expected to remain out this week, Houston is down to RBs Woody Marks and Dare Ogunbowale, with Deuce Vaughn on the practice squad. Marks could be in for an even bigger role this week than he played last. And the matchup is much better against the Giants' 25th-ranked RB defense.

Texans insider Aaron Wilson confirms that RB David Montgomery (groin) is not expected to play vs. the Giants this weekend. That's been our expectation all along. Woody Marks will get another game as lead back in an excellent spot as a big home favorite against the league's 25th-ranked RB defense.

Eagles RB Saquon Barkley (hamstring) is expected to practice on Thursday and is "in line" to play vs. the Cowboys on Monday night, NFL Network's Mike Garafolo reports. We'll see if Barkley makes it through the practice week setback-free after missing the past 2 games. If he does, he'll be returning to a struggling Eagles offense but a matchup with Dallas' 32nd-ranked RB defense. Barkley could also pick up some extra passing-game work with RB Will Shipley out.

Seahawks RB Zach Charbonnet (knee) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice. He's trending toward making his 2026 debut vs. the Chiefs on Sunday night. We wouldn't trust Charbonnet in Week 7 fantasy lineups, especially against the sixth-ranked RB defense. But he could emerge as Seattle's lead back over the next few weeks.

Chiefs WR Rashee Rice (hamstring, knee) did not practice on Wednesday. HC Andy Reid said Rice is “getting better by the day," but he doesn't look like a good bet to play against the Seahawks on Sunday night. Rice's absence would keep Xavier Worthy in play as a WR3, despite the tough matchup.

Broncos RB Jonah Coleman (ankle) has been designated to return from IR and put in a full practice on Wednesday. It looks like he's on track to play vs. the Cardinals this weekend. Coleman was building momentum when he went down in Week 2, and RB J.K. Dobbins has continued to underwhelm with Coleman sidelined. The rookie has a path to carve out a significant role over the second half of the season and is worth rostering in most fantasy leagues. He's not a recommended Week 7 start, though.

49ers WR Mike Evans (ribs, Achilles) did not practice on Wednesday. No surprise after he missed the second half of Monday night's game vs. the Commanders. Evans' status for this weekend's game vs. the Falcons is uncertain. WR Christian Kirk (calf) was a full participant on Wednesday, putting him on track to make his 49ers debut this weekend. Kirk would be a desperation Week 7 fantasy start but might be worth stashing in deeper fantasy leagues considering the state of San Francisco's WR corps.

Browns RBs Quinshon Judkins (ankle) and Dylan Sampson (knee) were limited in Wednesday's practice. HC Todd Monken said he's optimistic about both guys' chances of playing vs. the Titans this weekend. Judkins missed Week 6, while Sampson has been out since going down early in the opener. Sampson won't be a Week 7 fantasy option but could steal some passing-down work from Judkins.

Jets WR Adonai Mitchell (finger) got in a limited practice on Wednesday, his first since injuring a finger in practice ahead of Week 3. HC Aaron Glenn says whether Mitchell plays vs. the Dolphins this weekend will come down to pain tolerance. We'll keep you updated on his status. Mitchell would be very tough to trust in Week 7 fantasy lineups if he plays, but his return would dent WR Omar Cooper's outlook.

Jets RB Breece Hall (quad) remained sidelined on Wednesday. That doesn't bode well for his chances of returning for this weekend's game vs. the Dolphins. Hall's absence would leave Braelon Allen as a fringe RB1 with the Jets 4.5-point home favorites against the league's 30th-ranked RB defense.

Vikings RB Jordan Mason (thumb) was a full-go in Wednesday's practice. He was designated to return from IR earlier this week and is on track to play vs. the Colts on Sunday. It's unclear exactly how big a role Mason will play in his first action since the opener, but there's upside against Indianapolis' 26th-ranked RB defense.

Vikings TE T.J. Hockenson (concussion) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice. He's on track to be cleared for this weekend's game vs. the Colts, if he hasn't been already. Hockenson checks in 14th in our Week 7 TE rankings.

Vikings WR Jordan Addison (hamstring) was a full-go in Wednesday's practice. He's on track to return for this weekend's game vs the Colts after missing Minnesota's last game before the Week 6 bye. Addison has caught just 2 of 7 targets for 21 scoreless yards in 2 full games with WR Justin Jefferson this year.

Colts TE Tyler Warren (groin) did not practice on Wednesday. He went down last Friday, missed the Titans game, and appears in serious danger of missing this weekend's game vs. the Vikings. We'll keep you updated on Warren's status, but fantasy owners should be lining up another option for Week 7.

Texans TE Dalton Schultz (quad) did not practice on Wednesday. His availability for this weekend's game vs. the Giants is uncertain, but Schultz shouldn't have been in your fantasy plans. He's totaled 102 scoreless yards over the last 4 weeks.

Texans RB David Montgomery (quad) remained sidelined for Wednesday's practice. He's likely to miss this weekend's game vs. the Giants, which would again leave the backfield to Woody Marks and Jawhar Jordan. Marks got strong usage last week and is a nice RB2 play in Week 7 fantasy lineups.
