Ravens | Lamar Jackson downgraded to out for Week 7 vs. Bengals Sat Oct 24, 03:30 PM
Ravens QB Lamar Jackson has been downgraded to out for Sunday's game against the Bengals. Jackson was listed as questionable on Friday's injury report with an ankle injury, which he described as a high ankle sprain that was "heading in the right direction."
| Footballguys view: Fantasy GMs were on the fence, but we now have clarity, and it's another start for Tyler Huntley. Jackson was close to returning, with some reports suggesting it was 50/50 that he would play, so a return in Week 8 (road game versus the Bills) seems likely. In a press conference this week, Jackson did say he was "heading in the right direction." |

Packers | Jordan Love has no game status, will play vs. Lions Fri Oct 23, 04:08 PM
Packers QB Jordan Love (back) did not receive a game status for Sunday's game against the Lions and will be available. WRs Christian Watson (ankle), Matthew Golden (shoulder), and Savion Williams (ankle) also have no game status and will be available.
| Footballguys view: The Packers were liberal with limited practices this week, but Love, Watson, Golden, and Williams are all cleared to play. Love is a QB1 in a matchup against the Lions, Watson and Golden are both high-end WR2s, and Williams has some appeal as a desperation streamer in a should-be shootout. |

Ravens | Lamar Jackson says he has a high ankle sprain, 'heading in the right direction' Fri Oct 23, 01:58 PM
Ravens QB Lamar Jackson said on Friday that he is dealing with a high ankle sprain. Asked whether he will play Sunday against the Bengals, Jackson said, "Right now, I'm heading in the right direction," ESPN's Jamison Hensley reported.
| Footballguys view: The good news for fantasy managers is that the Ravens play on the early slate, so we'll know whether he's active before most games kick off. He practiced all week, and we expect him to play in this divisional matchup. Assuming Jackson is active, he's an obvious QB1. |

Ravens 'still working on' Lamar Jackson's Week 7 status, got a 'good amount of work' Friday Fri Oct 23, 01:25 PM
Ravens head coach Jesse Minter said on Friday that the team is "still working on" whether QB Lamar Jackson (ankle) will play Sunday against the Bengals. Minter said Jackson got a "pretty good amount of work in" at Friday's practice. He added that the decision will come down to how Jackson feels and how effective he will be. Jackson was limited in practice on Thursday.
| Footballguys view: Going into a divisional game against the Bengals, this might be a case of gamesmanship. Jackson practiced all week, albeit in a limited fashion, but seems on track to play. It sounds like Jackson will make the final call based on how he feels on Sunday. If he's active, start him. If not, Tyler Huntley becomes a high-end QB2. |

Buccaneers | Baker Mayfield will play Sunday after 'normal practice week' Fri Oct 23, 12:29 PM
Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles made it official on Friday that QB Baker Mayfield (thumb) will play Sunday against the Panthers. Mayfield was a full participant in practice all three days this week. Bowles called it a "normal practice week" for him.
| Footballguys view: After a full week of practice, there was no doubt Mayfield could play in Week 7. Jalon Daniels has looked solid in a relief role, but the Buccaneers will welcome back Mayfield, despite his early-season struggles. Mayfield is off the fantasy radar except in two-quarterback and superflex leagues, but we should see a bit more pass volume than we've seen without him, boosting the pass catchers. |

Ravens | Lamar Jackson on the field for Friday practice, 'encouraging sign' Fri Oct 23, 12:09 PM
Ravens QB Lamar Jackson came out onto the field for Friday's practice, which ESPN's Jamison Hensley called "an encouraging sign." Jackson was limited in practice on Wednesday and Thursday while dealing with a left ankle injury that has caused him to miss the past two games. The Ravens host the Bengals on Sunday.
| Footballguys view: All signs point to Jackson playing this week as he's practicing every day. A full practice on Friday would boost optimism, and we'll get clarity once the official report comes out. But if Jackson is active, you're starting him in fantasy lineups as a QB1. |

Packers | Jordan Love upgraded to full participant on Thursday Thu Oct 22, 04:15 PM
Packers QB Jordan Love was upgraded to a full participant in practice on Thursday. Love was limited on Wednesday with a back injury and said there was 'no chance' it keeps him out of Sunday's game against the Lions.
| Footballguys view: Packers HC Matt LaFleur said Love was pretty banged up after Week 6. He was limited on Wednesday, but a full practice on Thursday puts Love on the right track to play in Week 7. We've got him in the top tier of fantasy quarterbacks against the Lions. |

Saints | Tyler Shough full participant again Thursday in Paris Thu Oct 22, 03:46 PM
Saints QB Tyler Shough (left hand) was a full participant in practice on Thursday in Paris. It was his second straight full session after he also practiced fully on Wednesday. Shough has been playing with two broken bones in his non-throwing hand.
| Footballguys view: Shough is good to go for the game against the Steelers in Paris. Even battling through broken bones in his non-throwing hand, we like Shough as a low-end QB1 in Week 7. |

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. |

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. |

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. |

Giants head coach John Harbaugh confirmed on Wednesday that QB J.J. McCarthy will replace QB Jameis Winston and start Sunday's game at Houston, as ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reported. McCarthy replaced an 'ineffective' Winston in Sunday's loss to the Saints, after which Harbaugh was not ready to name a Week 7 starter.
| Footballguys view: McCarthy looked good as he got the Giants back in the game late against the Saints in Week 6. Now, as the starter for the Giants, Fantasy GMs should be looking at McCarthy as a streaming option. He provided a spark a week ago, and now McCarthy gets a chance to redeem himself as a starter again. |

"I think he's coming along fine," head coach Todd Bowles said Wednesday, adding that Mayfield said throwing with the glove "felt good."
| Footballguys view: Bowles said the decision on whether Mayfield starts Sunday against the Panthers will likely come Friday: "See what he looks like Friday and I'll find out then." Bowles noted that with a thumb injury, "you can see flat out and you can kind of know if you want to play him or not." Stay tuned. |

Ravens | Lamar Jackson still 'day to day', could 'potentially' practice Wednesday Mon Oct 19, 03:02 PM
Ravens QB Lamar Jackson (ankle) is still "day to day," head coach Jesse Minter said on Monday. Minter said Jackson could "potentially" practice on Wednesday. Jackson has missed the past two games after injuring his left ankle on Oct. 4. The Ravens host the Bengals in Week 7 on Sunday.
| Footballguys view: Jackson has missed the past two games after injuring his left ankle on Oct. 4. Minter said Jackson's condition has improved during his time off the field, but he was still vague enough about Wednesday's practice to keep us guessing. But getting their starter back is important. The Ravens beat the Falcons in overtime in Tyler Huntley's first start, but the offense was shut out for the final three quarters of Sunday's 13-10 loss to the Browns. Huntley was 19-of-31 for 165 yards and a touchdown while also running five times for 28 yards. |

Broncos | Sean Payton says 'no' to QB change, Broncos sticking with Bo Nix Mon Oct 19, 01:00 PM
Broncos head coach Sean Payton said on Monday that he is not considering a change at quarterback despite QB Bo Nix's struggles during Denver's 4-2 start. "To answer your question, no," Payton said. "He is going to become the byproduct of all the finer things that get improved. The improved play from our offensive line; the more efficient we are relative to downs; and running the football."
| Footballguys view: Nix attempted 27 passes and totaled just 107 yards in Thursday's win over the Seahawks. He was criticized by analysts, including Amazon Prime analyst Ryan Fitzpatrick, who questioned Nix's competitive effort. Denver won despite being outgained, 353-168, mustering just two first downs and 30 yards of offense in the second half. The popular narrative last season was that the Broncos came up short of reaching the Super Bowl because Nix was injured in the Divisional Round. This year, Denver is prevailing despite poor play from its quarterback, who seems averse to throwing the ball and uncomfortable leading the offense. |
