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.

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.

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 | Jonah Coleman designated to return, full in practice Wed Oct 21, 10:09 PM

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. |

Giants | Harbaugh confirms J.J. McCarthy will replace Jameis Winston, start at Houston Wed Oct 21, 03:11 PM
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. |

Bears | Kyle Monangai ruled out for Thursday vs. Patriots Wed Oct 21, 03:06 PM
Bears RB Kyle Monangai (toe) has been ruled out for Thursday's Week 7 game against the Patriots. Monangai did not practice on Monday or Tuesday.
| Footballguys view: This will be the third game in a row that Monangai is going to miss. A turf-toe injury can be complicated to recover from, so the team is taking a safe approach. Since they didn't put him on Injured Reserve, it's logical to believe Monangai could return to the football field in Week 8. D'Andre Swift and Roschon Johnson carry the load for the Bears on the ground in Week 7. |

Cardinals | Jeremiyah Love's ankle doesn't 'seem to bother' him at youth event Wed Oct 21, 03:00 PM
Cardinals rookie RB Jeremiyah Love moved without apparent trouble at the team's Jr. Cardinals Flag Football kickoff event on Wednesday. "A few stutter steps, light cuts and horizontal movement don't seem to bother Love's ankle," based on video of Love with the kids at the event. Love missed last week's game against the Rams with the ankle injury.
| Footballguys view: After missing last week's game, it would've been nice to see Love out there on the first day of preparation for Week 7 against the Broncos. Instead, the talented rookie seems to be on the wrong side of questionable. Let's all circle back to see if he can at least be limited on Friday. Tyler Allgeier would get more work against the Broncos if Love can't play. |

Lions | Sam LaPorta 'disappointing' no extension, says he'll 'get paid somewhere else' Wed Oct 21, 02:54 PM
Lions TE Sam LaPorta voiced frustration about not getting a contract extension in an appearance on Pardon My Take. "It's disappointing that you go out there every week and bear the risk of getting hurt. Like last year, I broke my f--ing back for the team. And then I'm going out there this year and I'm balling, and maybe they're just not showing the love," LaPorta said. He added that "in three months, if I don't get to wear the Honolulu blue and play for the Lions anymore, it's going to be all good. I'll go get paid somewhere else."
| Footballguys view: The Lions and LaPorta broke off contract talks earlier this month, and the standout tight end is frustrated. If they're not completely broken off, there is a clear stalemate. A second-round pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, LaPorta is looking to become one of the highest-paid tight ends in the league. |

Panthers | Bryce Young a full participant on Wednesday Wed Oct 21, 02:50 PM

Browns | Browns not looking to trade Jerry Jeudy despite 'trade buzz' Wed Oct 21, 02:47 PM
The Browns are not looking to trade WR Jerry Jeudy despite "trade buzz" surrounding him, as the 4-2 team tries to build on its early-season momentum. Asked on Wednesday about the trade rumors, Jeudy said, "You see it, but you can't do nothing about it. You just keep continuing doing what you do every day." Asked whether he has spoken to general manager Andrew Berry or the front office about a potential trade, Jeudy said, "I'm gonna keep that...you know we just keeping it day-by-day, man. We're doing it day-by-day."
| Footballguys view: They say Jeudy is not on the trade block, but for the right price they would move on from the former first-round pick (of the Broncos). Jeudy could help a team in contention as a veteran receiver, and he does not seem to be in the long-term plans for the Browns. Even at 4-2, the team needs to consider getting what they can for Jeudy. |

Vikings | T.J. Hockenson at 'final stage' of concussion protocol, will practice Wed Oct 21, 02:31 PM
Vikings TE T.J. Hockenson will practice on Wednesday and is at the final stage of the concussion protocol, head coach Kevin O'Connell said. There is optimism that Hockenson will play in Sunday's game against the Colts. Hockenson suffered the concussion in the team's Week 5 win over the Saints and did not return.
| Footballguys view: Hockenson had the bye week to rest in Week 6, and we'll see how his body responds to practice in preparation for Week 7. At this time, Hockenson has to be considered a TE2 with upside. Fantasy GMs need to circle back to see if he's cleared league protocol. |

Vikings | Jordan Addison will practice Wednesday, 'optimism' he plays Sunday Wed Oct 21, 02:31 PM
Vikings WR Jordan Addison (hamstring) will practice on Wednesday, head coach Kevin O'Connell said. There is optimism that Addison will play in Sunday's Week 7 game against the Colts. Addison was inactive for the team's Week 5 game at New Orleans with the hamstring injury.
| Footballguys view: The Vikings were on bye last week, but clearly Addison is ready to return with a full practice on Wednesday. Fantasy GMs can consider Addison a flex play with upside against the Colts in Week 7. |

Colts | Tyler Warren not practicing Wednesday Wed Oct 21, 02:11 PM
Colts TE Tyler Warren did not practice on Wednesday because of a groin injury. TE Drew Ogletree was also not practicing.
| Footballguys view: Warren injured himself last Friday, and he missed the Week 6 contest against the Titans. Missing practice on Wednesday is not a great start to the week, and it might indicate that Warren needs more time to heal. Look for Keenan Allen to get more targets if Warren has to miss another game. |

Texans | Woody Marks RB1 vs. Giants as Montgomery remains sidelined Wed Oct 21, 01:54 PM
Texans RB Woody Marks will be the team's RB1 against the Giants in Week 7 as RB David Montgomery remains sidelined with a groin injury. RB Dare Ogunbowale and practice squad RB Deuce Vaughn are the backups, with RB Jawhar Jordan on the practice squad injured list.
| Footballguys view: Marks ran 15 times for 56 yards in their Week 6 win over the Jaguars, plus he had two catches for 25 yards on three targets. He's a mid-range RB2 for Fantasy GMs in PPR formats with that role. |

"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. |

Dolphins | Caleb Douglas going through limited drills Wednesday Wed Oct 21, 01:51 PM
Dolphins WR Caleb Douglas (ankle) was going through limited drills at practice on Wednesday. Douglas was limited on Monday and hoped to ramp up as the week progressed. He was ruled out for the October 11 game against the Bengals with the ankle injury.
| Footballguys view: A limited participation to start the week is a good sign. We'll see if Douglas can do more as the week of practice rolls on. This week against the Jets, Douglas should be considered a WR4/deep flex if he plays in Week 7. |
