Buccaneers | Bucs activate David Sills from IR, place LB Christian Rozeboom on IR Thu Oct 22, 05:00 PM
The Buccaneers activated WR David Sills from injured reserve on Thursday, making him eligible to make his Buccaneers debut Sunday against the Panthers. To open a roster spot, the team placed LB Christian Rozeboom on injured reserve with a finger injury, sidelining him for at least four games. Sills signed with Tampa Bay in April, reuniting with Offensive Coordinator Zac Robinson, who was his coordinator in Atlanta in 2025 when he posted career bests of 18 catches for 191 yards and two touchdowns. Rozeboom played 25 snaps in a 4-3 look against the Steelers last Sunday, recording four tackles and a pass defensed.

Seahawks | Elijah Arroyo placed on IR, will miss rest of season after shoulder surgery Thu Oct 22, 03:05 PM
The Seahawks placed TE Elijah Arroyo on injured reserve on Thursday. Arroyo will undergo shoulder surgery and miss the rest of the 2026 season, ESPN's Adam Schefter reported on Thursday. The second-year tight end hurt his shoulder in last Thursday's loss to the Broncos while trying to recover a Rashid Shaheed fumble, and he finishes the season with one catch for 17 yards. AJ Barner, Eric Saubert and Nick Kallerup are the remaining tight ends on the 53-man roster, with Josiah Deguara recently joining the practice squad.

Cowboys | Schottenheimer says Pickens 'needs to understand' his impact in the running game Thu Oct 22, 02:58 PM
Cowboys head coach Brian Schottenheimer said on Thursday that WR George Pickens has to contribute more as a blocker, after being asked what Pickens can do himself to get more involved in the offense. "These guys play a lot of snaps. I think part of it is us rotating those guys through, but he needs to understand that he impacts us in the running game as well," Schottenheimer said, citing picking up safeties and blocking corners "just like Javonte does." Schottenheimer added that he doesn't see Pickens "really affected in terms of the emotion of, 'Does he get the ball? Does he not get the ball?'" and said that when Pickens isn't going, "the safeties get pretty good runs at our backs and that's got to improve."

Seahawks | Zach Charbonnet activated from PUP list Thu Oct 22, 02:01 PM
The Seahawks activated RB Zach Charbonnet from the physically unable to perform list on Thursday. Charbonnet had been on the PUP list recovering from a torn ACL and was a full participant in practice on Wednesday for the first time since returning.
| Footballguys view: Charbonnet is going to make his 2026 regular season debut in Week 7 against the Chiefs (and former teammate Kenneth Walker). While Charbonnet may not yet get a full workload, we've got him as a flex play in Week 7. As Charbonnet gets his legs under him and back into football shape, he should move into the RB2 range as per usual. |

Colts | Tyler Warren not practicing again Thursday Thu Oct 22, 01:20 PM
Colts TE Tyler Warren (groin) was not practicing on Thursday. Warren also did not practice on Wednesday and was inactive for last Sunday's game against the Titans with the groin injury.
| Footballguys view: The Colts need to be looking to the future, so there's no need to rush Warren back out there if he's not ready. Warren is a part of the team's future, but many things are up in the air with a team that fired their GM midseason. Without Warren, the Colts would lean on Keenan Allen more like they did a week ago. |

Texans | David Montgomery not practicing, expected to miss Sunday vs. Giants Thu Oct 22, 01:19 PM
Texans RB David Montgomery (groin) did not practice on Thursday and is expected to miss Sunday's game against the Giants.
| Footballguys view: Woody Marks was in line to be Houston's RB1 against New York with Montgomery sidelined. With that sort of workload, we think Marks produces like an RB2 for Fantasy GMs in PPR formats in Week 7. |

Browns | Carson Schwesinger returns to practice Thursday Thu Oct 22, 01:08 PM

Packers | Josh Jacobs takes 'first handoff in a while' as he works back toward Lions game Thu Oct 22, 12:58 PM
Packers RB Josh Jacobs took a handoff on Thursday, described as "the first Josh Jacobs handoff in a while." Jacobs returned to the field on Wednesday after a stint on the exempt list, and the Packers said earlier in the week that he would get a "full week of work" ahead of Sunday's game at Detroit.
| Footballguys view: Packers OC Adam Stenavich says Jacobs "looks great" as the team prepares for Week 7 against the Lions. Upon his return Sunday, we have Jacobs in the RB2 range perhaps closer to a flex play. We'll see what his usage is, but the Packers could use him early and often as they need to run the ball better than they have been without Jacobs so far this year. |

Ravens | Lamar Jackson back at practice Thursday Thu Oct 22, 12:55 PM
Ravens QB Lamar Jackson was back at practice on Thursday as he works through an ankle injury. Jackson was absent at the start of Wednesday's practice before getting in limited work that day.
| Footballguys view: Jackson has been limited this week, so the team is testing out his ankle injury to see how it responds. We may see Jackson under center this week instead of Tyler Huntley. As always, circle back on Friday to see what Jackson's status is for Week 7. |

Lions | No snap count for Brian Branch vs. Packers, expected to have 'big role' in return Thu Oct 22, 12:44 PM

Titans | Brian Daboll has 'a lot of confidence' in Calvin Ridley, wants Ward connection in games Thu Oct 22, 12:44 PM
Titans offensive coordinator Brian Daboll said Thursday, "I have a lot of confidence in" WR Calvin Ridley, adding, "I know Cam Ward does, too." Daboll said the connection between Ridley and QB Cam Ward has worked in practices, and the team needs to get it to work in games.
| Footballguys view: Ward has established good chemistry with rookie WR Carnell Tate, but his connection with Ridley has not yet developed on the field in a game. We'll see if the two can take what they do in practice to the regular season. There's no need for Fantasy GMs to roster Ridley at this moment, unless you play in a crazy deep league. |

Colts | Jonathan Taylor 'haven't given it any thought' on future, trade deadline Thu Oct 22, 12:43 PM
Colts RB Jonathan Taylor said on Thursday he has not thought about his future or the trade deadline. "I haven't given it any thought. ... I think it would be a discredit and a disservice to my teammates and this whole organization to think about what could, what should, what may be," Taylor said.
| Footballguys view: If Taylor is on the block as the Colts look to the future, several teams would be interested in the superstar running back. The trade deadline is still around a few weeks away, but there might be some activity in the NFL soon. Taylor is going to be a top target, along with Saquon Barkley and Tony Pollard, for teams looking to trade for running back help. |

Giants | Nagy calls Skattebo a 'true pro' after demotion, appears 'out of the doghouse' Thu Oct 22, 11:53 AM
Giants OC Matt Nagy said on Thursday that RB Cam Skattebo handled last week's demotion in an "impressive" way, calling him a "true pro." Skattebo played only six snaps in Sunday's 34-27 loss to the Saints, with RB Devin Singletary leading the Giants' backfield. Nagy's comments suggest Skattebo is out of the doghouse.
| Footballguys view: Skattebo was in the doghouse a week ago due to fumbling. Now, we'll see if one of these Giants' elevates their game. Tyrone Tracy, Skattebo, and Singletary will work to establish a hot hand. Coming out of the doghouse, Fantasy GMs should only trust Skattebo this week as a deep flex. If he takes the main job back, then his fantasy value gets back to the RB2 range. |

Packers | LaFleur has 'no concern' about Christian Watson, Matthew Golden despite injuries Thu Oct 22, 11:48 AM
Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said on Thursday there is no concern about WRs Christian Watson (ankle) and Matthew Golden (shoulder), even though both are on the injury report.
| Footballguys view: Both receivers are a little bit banged up, but they'll be out there and should be heavily involved against the Lions on Sunday. In fact, we have both Watson and Golden as top-10 WRs in Week 7. |

Buccaneers | Baker Mayfield 'looks full go again' with glove on right hand Thu Oct 22, 11:37 AM
Buccaneers QB Baker Mayfield (thumb) "looks full go again" at practice on Thursday, wearing a glove on his right hand. Mayfield was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, and head coach Todd Bowles said he would decide Friday whether Mayfield starts against the Panthers.
| Footballguys view: The thumb injury is strong enough for Mayfield to get out there against the Panthers in Week 7. In his first game back, Fantasy GMs should be considering Mayfield a QB2/streaming option. We'll see if the Buccaneers try to ease him into action with a more balanced gameplan. |

Eagles | Saquon Barkley expected back at practice Thursday, 'in line to play' Monday vs. Cowboys Thu Oct 22, 09:32 AM
Eagles RB Saquon Barkley (hamstring) is expected to return to practice on Thursday and is in line to play Monday against the Cowboys, sources say. Barkley was ruled out of Sunday's loss to the Panthers with the hamstring injury. His return would be a lift for an offense with a banged-up backfield.
| Footballguys view: The game is on Monday Night Football, so we'll have to see what Barkley's status is on Saturday. Barkley has been out of action with this hamstring injury since Week 4. They won't have Jalen Hurts, but getting Barkley back is huge for the offense in what has to be considered a must-win game. We like him in the RB2 range this week from a fantasy perspective. |

Rams | Puka Nacua remains under league review, no timeline for decision Thu Oct 22, 09:00 AM
Rams WR Puka Nacua remains under league review for an off-field incident, NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy told The California Post on Wednesday. There is no timeline for a decision. Rams LT Alaric Jackson is also under league review for a separate off-field incident.
| Footballguys view: The Rams have been waiting for the league to make a decision, and that may be coming. However, they don't have much of a cushion (in fact, no cushion) based on their record. Plus, Davante Adams is now missing time... so, an answer sooner rather than later would give the team clarity. Stay tuned. |

Broncos | Jaylen Waddle limited with chest injury Wednesday, 'one to watch' for Week 7 Wed Oct 21, 07:12 PM
Broncos WR Jaylen Waddle was limited in practice on Wednesday with a chest injury ahead of Sunday's Week 7 game at the Cardinals. Waddle is considered "one to watch" on the injury report this week. He briefly left last Thursday's win over the Seahawks with a shoulder injury before returning to the game.
| Footballguys view: Waddle is doing little to nothing for Fantasy GMs this year, mainly because QB Bo Nix is playing bad football. Against the Cardinals, the Broncos offense is looking to come to life. We don't have a ton of faith that happens based on the way Nix is playing this year, so Waddle is more of a WR2/flex play - or still even 'what the heck' flex play - in Week 7. |

Seahawks | Zach Charbonnet a full participant for first time since returning from torn ACL Wed Oct 21, 06:55 PM
Seahawks RB Zach Charbonnet was listed as a full participant in practice on Wednesday for the first time since he returned to practice on Oct. 1 following a torn ACL. He had been listed as limited on every injury report from then until Wednesday. Seattle must activate Charbonnet off the PUP list by Thursday, and head coach Mike Macdonald said Monday there was 'a chance' he returns this week.
| Footballguys view: Macdonald said there was a 'good chance' Charbonnet returns in Week 7. The Seahawks have struggled to run the ball this year, and Charbonnet's return is a welcome one for this offense. If Charbonnet plays against the Chiefs in Week 7, Fantasy GMs should be considering him as a flex play (at least). We'll know more about his playing status later in the week, and that could move him into the RB2 range for Fantasy GMs in PPR formats. Stay tuned. |

Giants | J.J. McCarthy is Giants starter 'for the foreseeable future' Wed Oct 21, 06:04 PM
Giants QB J.J. McCarthy is the team's starting quarterback for the foreseeable future. Head coach John Harbaugh viewed the switch as a fairly obvious move because it was the "right time."
| Footballguys view: Harbaugh met with the quarterbacks one-on-one on Tuesday and made no grand announcement on Wednesday, with most players learning of the change as they went over the game plan. |
