Broncos | Jonah Coleman full again, 'trending toward return' for Week 7 Thu Oct 22, 07:41 PM
Broncos rookie RB Jonah Coleman (ankle) was a full practice participant on Thursday for the second consecutive day. Coleman was designated for return from injured reserve on Wednesday and is trending toward a return for Sunday's Week 7 game at the Cardinals.
| Footballguys view: JK Dobbins is the starter, but Fantasy GMs can put Coleman in as a 'what the heck' flex against the Cardinals in Week 7. Coleman may take over in the backfield eventually, but in his first game back from a high-ankle sprain the team should choose to ease him back. |

Colts | Multiple teams 'would be open' to trading for Jonathan Taylor Thu Oct 22, 07:15 PM
Multiple teams would be open to a potential trade for Colts RB Jonathan Taylor, a source told ESPN's Stephen Holder. It remains unclear whether the Colts are ready to unload players before the trade deadline as they plot their next moves after firing GM Chris Ballard.
| Footballguys view: Zero surprise here. Taylor is going to be one of the most sought-after players in the trade market. The buyers are out there, and teams like the Broncos could be quite interested in Taylor. We'll see what the Colts can get for the superstar running back who has a contract that runs through his age-29 season (2028). |

Broncos | Jaylen Waddle limited again Thursday ahead of Week 7 Thu Oct 22, 07:12 PM
Broncos WR Jaylen Waddle (chest) remained a limited practice participant on Thursday, his second straight limited session ahead of Sunday's Week 7 game at the Cardinals. The Broncos will release their final practice report and game statuses on Friday.
| Footballguys view: Fantasy GMs aren't trusting the Broncos' passing game - and for good reason. QB Bo Nix has been playing terrible football, and he's only had one good game with Waddle this season. Consider Waddle more of a flex play against the Cardinals in Week 7. The Broncos should bounce back, Nix specifically, as their schedule gets much easier (easiest in the league) over the next 11 games. |

Falcons | Brian Robinson 'headed the wrong direction' on injury report Thu Oct 22, 06:14 PM
Falcons RB Brian Robinson (hamstring) is "headed the wrong direction on the injury report" as of Thursday. Atlanta's injury report this week is "a very long" one ahead of Sunday's game against the 49ers.
| Footballguys view: From limited to DNP is not a good sign for Robinson's availability. If he misses Week 7, Bijan Robinson would be backed up by someone off the practice squad as Atlanta does not have three backs on the active roster. Currently, the Falcons have both Khalil Herbert and Jam Miller on the practice squad. |

Rams | Puka Nacua leaves practice early with calf injury Thu Oct 22, 06:11 PM
Rams WR Puka Nacua left practice early on Thursday with a calf injury. The Rams play at the Raiders on Sunday in Week 7.
| Footballguys view: The Rams are already without Davante Adams (hamstring), and now they might also be without Nacua. We'll have to see if Nacua can at least be limited on Friday, but this is not a positive development. Konata Mumpfield needs to be rostered in all leagues, and he could be getting a much larger workload if Nacua can't play against the Raiders. |

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.

Chiefs | Rashee Rice misses practice for second straight day Thu Oct 22, 04:51 PM
Chiefs WR Rashee Rice officially did not practice on Thursday for a second straight day due to a hamstring injury. Rice was ruled out for last Sunday's Week 6 game against the Chargers with the injury. The Chiefs visit the Seahawks on Sunday night in Week 7.
| Footballguys view: Rice is trending towards missing the game against the Seahawks. That means Xavier Worthy will operate as the Chiefs' top wide receiver in Week 7. |

Cowboys | George Pickens limited Thursday, shoulder not expected to keep him out Thu Oct 22, 04:42 PM

Titans | Tony Pollard DNP Thursday for non-injury reason ahead of Browns game Thu Oct 22, 04:29 PM
Titans RB Tony Pollard did not practice on Thursday for a non-injury reason ahead of Sunday's game against the Browns. Pollard also missed practice for a non-injury reason last Wednesday before returning in full on Thursday ahead of the Colts game.
| Footballguys view: Pollard is an RB2 as the Titans lead back. He's getting carries but not many receptions, but it's enough to plug in consistently in that RB2 range. |

Buccaneers | Bucky Irving returns to practice Thursday Thu Oct 22, 04:24 PM
Buccaneers RB Bucky Irving returned to practice on Thursday after missing Wednesday's session with an illness. Like QB Baker Mayfield, who appears on track to return to the lineup for Sunday's Week 7 game at the Panthers, Irving looks to be moving toward playing.
| Footballguys view: Irving is feeling better, so he should be good to go for the game against the Panthers. We like him in the RB2 range for Fantasy GMs in PPR formats. |

Saints | Alvin Kamara remains limited in Thursday practice Thu Oct 22, 04:23 PM
Saints RB Alvin Kamara (back) remained limited in practice on Thursday. The Saints are already in France for Sunday's Week 7 game against the Steelers and had few changes to their Thursday injury report.
| Footballguys view: Kamara has been playing at less than full strength this year. He's the passing-down back for the Saints, and that gives him RB3/flex appeal for Fantasy GMs. |

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. |

49ers WR Mike Evans was not participating in the early open portion of Thursday's practice. Evans, who is dealing with Achilles tendinitis, also did not practice on Wednesday.
| Footballguys view: Let's see what the veteran receiver can do on Friday. 49ers HC Kyle Shanahan said earlier in the week that he hopes Evans can play in Week 7 against the Falcons. After two DNPs to begin the week, Evans may be out of action on Sunday. |

Jets | Breece Hall back to practice Thursday Thu Oct 22, 04:03 PM
Jets RB Breece Hall (quadriceps) returned to practice on Thursday, appearing on the team's injury report ahead of Sunday's game against the Dolphins. Hall did not practice Wednesday and was ruled out for Week 6 against the Patriots. Head coach Aaron Glenn said Wednesday that Hall has "always been our starter," while noting Braelon Allen is "going to get touches too."
| Footballguys view: Hall needs to practice Friday in at least a limited fashion to have a chance to play in Week 7. He's the lead back, but Allen has been exceptional while Hall has been out of action. This has the makings of an RBBC when Hall is back at full strength. |

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. |

Panthers | Chuba Hubbard back to full practice Thursday after Wednesday rest day Thu Oct 22, 03:30 PM
Panthers RB Chuba Hubbard was a full participant in practice on Thursday. He was one of four players, along with RT Taylor Moton, LB Devin Lloyd and TE Darren Waller, who had non-injury-related rest days on Wednesday. Carolina hosts the Buccaneers on Sunday.
| Footballguys view: Hubbard is getting a large workload as the featured back for the Panthers, and he's hammering out tough yards between the tackles. They're going to give him some rest during the week, but Hubbard should be good to go for Week 7. We've got him as an RB1 against the Buccaneers. |

Steelers | Ben Skowronek ruled out for Week 7, will not make Paris trip Thu Oct 22, 03:26 PM
Steelers WR Ben Skowronek (calf) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Saints in Paris. The Steelers leave for Paris on Thursday night, and Skowronek will not make the trip. He injured his calf in Week 5 and also missed the Week 6 game at the Buccaneers.

Eagles | DeVonta Smith not spotted at Eagles practice on Thursday Thu Oct 22, 03:18 PM
Eagles WR DeVonta Smith was not spotted at practice on Thursday. Smith was injured in the fourth quarter of Sunday's loss to the Panthers before returning to the game. The Eagles host the Cowboys on Monday night in Week 7.
| Footballguys view: The game in on Monday Night Football, so we need to see Smith be at least limited on Saturday to feel good about starting him. It's Tanner McKee at quarterback, so expect Smith to be in the low-end WR1/high-end WR2 range from a fantasy perspective. |
DeVonta Smith player page
Raiders | Mike Washington Jr. not present at Thursday practice Thu Oct 22, 03:17 PM
Raiders rookie RB Mike Washington Jr. was not present during the media viewing period of practice on Thursday. Washington was limited on Wednesday due to back and foot injuries.
| Footballguys view: Washington is not getting much work so long as Ashton Jeanty is healthy. With Jeanty not on the injury report Thursday, Washington is clearly going to continue with his backup role. If Jeanty needs a breather or misses time as he's been battling a couple of injuries, Washington would then have more fantasy value. |

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.
| Footballguys view: Arroya has the natural talent to be a dangerous receiving weapon in this league, but he's oft-injured and now has another injury to come back from. 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. |
Zach Charbonnet player page
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. |
David Montgomery player page
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. |

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. |
