Saints WR Jordyn Tyson will not practice this week, GM Mickey Loomis said Wednesday. Tyson traveled with the team to Paris for Sunday's game vs. the Steelers and is "improving," per Loomis. "We feel like we're getting closer," Loomis added. "I don't have a specific timetable for [his return] yet, but we're encouraged." Tyson will miss Week 7 and then get a Week 8 bye. We'll see if he's ready to make his debut in Week 9 vs. the Browns. Tyson remains a high-upside bench stash.

The Rams are signing K Brandon McManus, NFL Network reports. He'll be the team's third kicker in as many weeks after cutting K Harrison Mevis and losing K Blake Grupe to a torn ACL. McManus kicked for Green Bay most of last season, connecting on 80% of his FG tries and 97% of his XPs. He sports a career 82% FG conversion rate and 97% XP conversion rate. There's fantasy upside here in a theoretically strong Rams offense that plays its home games indoors. But L.A. ranks just 20th in points per game through 6 weeks.

Bears RB Kyle Monangai (thumb, toe) remained sidelined for Tuesday's practice. He's looking unlikely to make it back for Thursday night's game vs. the Patriots, which would again leave the backfield to D'Andre Swift and Roschon Johnson.

Rams TE Terrance Ferguson (ankle) is expected to be out beyond when first eligible to return in Week 8, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports. Ferguson's recovery from his ankle injury “will take some time," a source tells Schefter. We'll look for further updates on exactly how much longer Ferguson will be sidelined, but this obviously makes him a less attractive stash. TE Tyler Higbee, meanwhile, gains value with both Ferguson and WR Davante Adams out for the foreseeable future.

As feared, Commanders WR Terry McLaurin will miss the rest of the season after tearing the patellar tendon in his left knee in Monday night's loss to the 49ers. That leaves Washington without its leader in receiving yards and biggest downfield threat.

RB Najee Harris will be released by the New York Giants according to Ian Rapoport of NFL.com. This comes on the heels of a loss to the Saints, in which open week starter Cam Skattebo played only 6 snaps with no touches in the game. Harris played 11 snaps with 4 rushes for 2 yards. Devin Singletary (31) and Tyrone Tracy (29) led the team in snaps. No RB hit 20 rushing yards in the game. Harris could certainly get another chance to make a roster for an RB-needy team with injuries.

49ers HC Kyle Shanahan said after Monday night's win over the Commanders that WR Mike Evans is dealing with Achilles tendonitis. "It's something that he's had before," Shanahan said. "It's something that bothered him throughout the week. ... It flared up tonight. I hope he recovers throughout the week. You don't think it's a long-term thing. ... Hopefully he'll be able to play next week." Shanahan also said that the team has been leaving it up to Evans whether he plays through the issue. Don't expect him to practice much, if at all, this week. We'll see if he's able to suit up for Sunday's game vs. the Falcons. Evans gets a Week 8 bye.

George Kittle caught five of a season-high 8 targets for 69 yards and a TD in the 49ers win over the Commanders. His performance led to 17.9 PPR points, resulting in a TE5 ranking in Week 6 and his fourth TE1 finish of the season.

Christian McCaffrey handled 16 rush attempts and 10 targets, both season-highs, producing 64 rushing yards and 2 TDs along with 53 receiving yards on 9 receptions. His season-high usage led to a season-high 29.7 PPR points for his first RB1 overall week this season. He accomplished that three times last season.

After capping off the opening drive with a TD to TE George Kittle, Brock Purdy failed to register another in the 49ers' win over the Commanders. But he still completed 21 of 29 attempts for 264 yards while adding another 28 rushing yards to finish as a back-end QB1 in Week 6.

Chig Okonkwo drew a team-high 7 targets in a week when the Commanders lost top WR Terry McLaurin to a non-contact knee injury. He caught all seven for a team-high 69 yards, good for 13.9 PPR points and his first TE1 finish of the season.

Rachaad White stepped in as the Commanders' lead RB with Jacory Croskey-Merritt being placed on IR following a groin injury. He handled a team-high 7 carries for 27 yards while catching four of five targets for 30 yards and a TD. White finished with a season-high 15.7 PPR points on his way to his second RB1 week this season.

Jayden Daniels overcame a slow start to complete 29 of 40 attempts for 300 yards and 2 TDs, while adding 10 yards on the ground in a comeback bid that fell short against the 49ers. His 21.0 PPR points were good for a QB7 finish in Week 6, giving him QB1 finishes in back-to-back weeks since returning from his elbow injury.

49ers WR Mike Evans missed the second half of Monday night's game vs. the Commanders with Achilles trouble. Evans entered this one questionable with the Achilles after missing practice all week. He caught 3 of 5 targets for 94 yards in the first half but looked noticeably slowed in the open field. He aggravated the Achilles issue with about a minute left in the first half, hobbled back to the locker room, and was ruled out at halftime. We'll see if Evans is able to heal up enough to play vs. the Falcons this coming Sunday. The 49ers get a Week 8 bye.

Commanders WR Terry McLaurin injured his left knee on a non-contact play in the first quarter of Monday night's game vs. the 49ers. He was put in a brace and carted off. We'll update McLaurin's status when we know more, but this clearly looks like a serious injury.

Update: McLaurin has been ruled out with a knee injury.

49ers WR Mike Evans (Achilles, rib) is active for tonight’s game vs. the Commanders. He missed practice all week as he battled Achilles soreness. That could play a factor tonight, but Evans also boasts a big ceiling against Washington’s 27th-ranked WR defense.

Commanders WR Stefon Diggs (hamstring) is active for tonight’s game vs. the 49ers. He was listed as questionable after getting in limited practices on Friday and Saturday. Diggs carries elevated risk tonight but is available if you were waiting on him.

Rams WR Davante Adams is expected to miss 6-10 weeks with a ruptured hamstring, HC Sean McVay said Monday. Adams went down on a non-contact play late in the Week 6 loss to the Cardinals.

The Vikings have designated RB Jordan Mason to return to practice. That clears him to practice Wednesday for the first time since landing on IR with a thumb fracture after Week 1. The team will still need to activate Mason from IR before he can play.

Texans WR Tank Dell will play vs. the Giants this weekend, HC Demeco Ryans said Monday. It'll be Dell's first game since his December 2024 multi-ligament knee injury. He's returning to a WR corps led by Nico Collins that just added Marvin Harrison and that's getting strong play from Jaylin Noel. Dell has a lot of work to do to carve out a significant role and isn't worth adding to fantasy rosters at this point.
