The Raiders did not elevate a running back from the practice squad ahead of Sunday's game against the Rams, while rookie RB Mike Washington Jr. (foot/back) is considered a game-time decision. ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reported that some optimism exists, but the Raiders need to see how Washington feels on Sunday. Head coach Klint Kubiak said on Friday, "We're expecting him to be ready." Washington is listed as questionable.

Jets | Breece Hall 'unlikely to play' Sunday Sun Oct 25, 07:37 AM
Jets RB Breece Hall, who is questionable with a quad strain that has cost him three games, is unlikely to play on Sunday. Hall may work out before the game to see if he can go, but he has not been a full participant in practice yet. "It's a bit early," Rapoport added.

Texans | Tank Dell to be activated from IR, slated for 'limited role of snaps' vs. Giants Sat Oct 24, 03:46 PM
The Texans will officially activate WR Tank Dell from injured reserve on Saturday ahead of Sunday's Week 7 game against the Giants. Dell is slated for a "limited role of snaps" as he completes his comeback from a major knee injury.
| Footballguys view: Texans HC DeMeco Ryans said earlier in the week that Dell would play in Week 7 against the Giants. We last saw Dell on the field in Week 16 of the 2024 season, so he's put in a ton of work to get back out there. With the Texans trading for Marvin Harrison Jr. and the emergence of Jaylin Noel, targets could be difficult to find for Dell. We celebrate his return nonetheless. |

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." |

Chiefs | Brashard Smith to IR with hamstring injury, Jaydn Ott signed to active roster Sat Oct 24, 02:30 PM
The Chiefs placed RB Brashard Smith on injured reserve with a hamstring injury on Saturday, sidelining him for at least the team's next four games. Rookie RB Jaydn Ott was signed from the practice squad to the 53-man roster in his place. Head coach Andy Reid said on Friday that Smith would be out for Sunday night's game at Seattle and that Ott would make his NFL debut.
| Footballguys view: Ott's early-career tape from Cal (2023) showed a player with a natural ability to feel rushing lanes and the vision to maximize yards before contact. His final year at Oklahoma was disappointing and injury-riddled, but in super crazy deep dynasty formats, we've been intrigued by the undrafted rookie. It's all about Ken Walker III (and Emmett Johnson is the primary backup), but we'll be interested to see if Ott can get a few snaps. |

Giants | Theo Johnson downgraded to out for Week 7 at Houston Sat Oct 24, 02:20 PM
Giants TE Theo Johnson (neck) has been downgraded to out for Sunday's Week 7 game at the Texans, according to multiple reports. Johnson was listed as doubtful on Friday's injury report before Saturday afternoon's downgrade.
| Footballguys view: He suffered the injury in Week 5 and sat out last Sunday's loss to the Saints. This is more damaging for the Giants as a team than for Fantasy GMs, as Isaiah Likely is the TE1 and primary weapon at the position. |

Eagles | Dallas Goedert expects to play Monday vs. Cowboys Sat Oct 24, 02:17 PM
Eagles TE Dallas Goedert (knee) expects to play in Monday night's Week 7 game against the Cowboys.
| Footballguys view: Goedert practiced fully on Saturday after missing Thursday's and Friday's sessions, and he has no injury designation for Monday night. Tanner McKee should be utilizing Goedert early and often against the Cowboys. That makes him a low-end TE1 option for Fantasy GMs in Week 7. |

Eagles | Saquon Barkley expected to 'fight through the injury' to play Monday vs. Cowboys Sat Oct 24, 02:17 PM
Eagles RB Saquon Barkley (hamstring) is expected to "fight through the injury to play" in Monday night's Week 7 game against the Cowboys. Barkley, who was limited in practice on Thursday and Friday, practiced fully on Saturday and is listed as questionable.
| Footballguys view: Barkley has been out of action since injuring his hamstring in Week 4. He should be back in Week 7, but now Tanner McKee is in at quarterback. There should be plenty of opportunities for the veteran back as both a runner and receiver out of the backfield. With Barkley on the field, we've got him in the low-end RB1 range for Fantasy GMs in PPR formats. |

Dolphins | Dolphins elevate K Zane Gonzalez for Sunday's game at Jets Sat Oct 24, 01:15 PM
The Dolphins elevated K Zane Gonzalez from the practice squad to the active roster on Saturday for Sunday's game against the Jets. Gonzalez signed with Miami as a free agent in March and spent the offseason program and training camp with the team. He has appeared in 78 career games with Cleveland, Arizona, Carolina, Washington and Atlanta, converting 115 of 142 field goal attempts (81.0 percent) and 163 of 171 extra points.

Vikings | Vikings plan to activate Jordan Mason from IR 'if all goes well today' Sat Oct 24, 01:04 PM
The Vikings plan to activate RB Jordan Mason (thumb) from injured reserve on Saturday if all goes well, per sources. Mason was listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Colts after returning to practice this week, including a full session on Thursday. His return would give Minnesota another key back alongside RB Aaron Jones Sr.
| Footballguys view: Aaron Jones has done a fine job as the lead back for the Vikings, but Mason should be getting that role back eventually. They could ease him back into action, so Mason is more of an RB3/flex consideration in his first game action since Week 1. Jones is a bit higher this week, but only in the RB3 range. |

Jaguars | Execs believe Jaguars will 'seriously consider' trading Brian Thomas Jr. at deadline Sat Oct 24, 12:59 PM
"Multiple league execs believe Jacksonville will seriously consider trading Brian Thomas Jr. at the deadline now that his role has decreased," ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reported on Saturday. Jaguars WR Brian Thomas Jr. was benched for the entire second half of last Sunday's 34-31 loss to the Texans after playing 15 first-half snaps without a catch on two targets, and he has nine catches for 105 yards and one touchdown through six games. Fowler identified the Chiefs and Steelers as teams looking for receiving help, though neither has been reported to have made an offer for Thomas. General manager James Gladstone said in March that Thomas was a big part of the team's future.

Browns | Dylan Sampson activated from IR, no injury status for Sunday at Titans Sat Oct 24, 12:28 PM
The Browns activated RB Dylan Sampson (knee) from injured reserve on Saturday. He will have no injury status for Sunday's game at the Titans. Sampson, a second-year player and 2025 fourth-round pick, suffered the knee injury in the season opener at Jacksonville. He has 175 career rushing yards on 65 attempts and 33 receptions for 271 yards with two touchdowns in 16 career games.
| Footballguys view: Sampson is a slashing runner inside who can make plays in open space as a receiver. He's likely to be the primary backup and change of pace to Quinshon Judkins. We like his all-around ability, so Sampson should be stashed in deeper leagues (especially those in PPR formats). Let's see what he looks like in his return before considering him as anything more than a "what the heck" flex. |

Eagles | Dallas Goedert returns to practice Saturday ahead of Monday night vs. Cowboys Sat Oct 24, 08:44 AM
Eagles TE Dallas Goedert returned to practice on Saturday after missing the first two days of the week with a knee injury. The return gives him a chance to play in Monday night's Week 7 game against the Cowboys. The Eagles were set to release their game statuses later Saturday afternoon.
| Footballguys view: There has been optimism that Goedert would be able to play on Monday night against the Cowboys. With Tanner McKee at quarterback, Goedert makes for a nice security blanket target. That makes him a potential TE1 for Fantasy GMs if he does play in Week 7. |
Dallas Goedert player page
Rams | Davante Adams expected out five to nine more weeks with hamstring Sat Oct 24, 07:00 AM
Rams WR Davante Adams will miss Sunday's game at the Raiders and is expected to be sidelined five to nine more weeks because of a hamstring injury. "You're not going to one-for-one sub in a guy that's going to be wearing a gold jacket one day, in Davante," QB Matthew Stafford said. "It's a team effort."
| Footballguys view: Rams HC Sean McVay said earlier this week that the team is waiting for the right time to schedule a "cleanup" procedure for Adams. Reports have similar timelines, with Adams expected to miss a minimum of five weeks and a maximum of nine. Once a procedure is done on the hamstring, we'll have a better idea about any timeline for a return. |

Broncos | Jonah Coleman questionable for Week 7, needs IR activation Fri Oct 23, 05:10 PM
Broncos RB Jonah Coleman (ankle) was listed as questionable for Sunday's Week 7 game at the Cardinals after being a full participant in practice for the third consecutive day on Friday. Coleman, who was placed on injured reserve following Week 2, began his 21-day practice window on Wednesday and would be eligible to play if he is activated from injured reserve.
| Footballguys view: All signs point to Coleman returning in Week 7. Since Sean Payton took over playcalling, we've seen a shift toward using J.K. Dobbins more than RJ Harvey. It remains to be seen how Coleman will fit into that mix. He's a priority pickup if he's available on the waiver wire, but he's more of a stash than a start this week against the Cardinals. |

Broncos | Jaylen Waddle full Friday, no game status for Week 7 at Cardinals Fri Oct 23, 05:10 PM
Broncos WR Jaylen Waddle (chest) improved to a full participant in practice on Friday after being limited in Denver's first two practices of the week. Waddle was not assigned a game status for Sunday's Week 7 game at the Cardinals, which indicates he will be available to play.
| Footballguys view: Waddle was limited early in the week but practiced in full on Friday, and he'll enter Week 7 as a boom-or-bust WR3. |

Texans | Dalton Schultz good to go for Sunday vs. Giants Fri Oct 23, 05:05 PM
Texans TE Dalton Schultz (quad) is good to go for Sunday's game against the Giants. He carries no game designation after practicing on Friday.
| Footballguys view: Schultz missed Wednesday's practice and was limited Thursday, but will play in Sunday's game against the Giants. After Jaylin Noel's breakout, Marvin Harrison Jr.'s trade, and Tank Dell's return, the Texans' pecking order quickly became crowded. Schultz was a great early-season streaming option while Nico Collins was out, but now he's more of a touchdown-dependent desperation play. |

Vikings | RB DeeJay Dallas released by Vikings Fri Oct 23, 04:46 PM
The Minnesota Vikings released RB DeeJay Dallas.

Seahawks | Zach Charbonnet ruled out for Sunday night vs. Chiefs Fri Oct 23, 04:34 PM
Seahawks RB Zach Charbonnet has been ruled out for Sunday night's Week 7 game against the Chiefs. Charbonnet, who is working back from a torn ACL, was activated from the PUP list on Thursday and was a full participant in practice on Wednesday and Thursday.
| Footballguys view: Well, so much for the reports this morning that Charbonnet would play a meaningful role in Week 7. He's still less than nine months removed from surgery, but he's expected to return soon. While he's out, expect Emanuel Wilson, George Holani, and Velus Jones Jr. to split the load. Wilson is the most valuable of the bunch, but all three have very risky floors. |

Bears | Ben Johnson confirms Cole Kmet will miss rest of season with knee injury Fri Oct 23, 04:31 PM
Bears head coach Ben Johnson confirmed on Friday that TE Cole Kmet will miss the rest of the season with a knee injury he sustained midway through the fourth quarter of Thursday's 30-24 win over the Patriots. "He's going to be sorely missed," Johnson said. "And yet the train keeps rolling along. Someone else has to step up." Kmet caught three passes for 28 yards before exiting, joining Mike Ditka as the only Bears tight ends with at least 3,000 career receiving yards.

49ers | Christian Kirk questionable but expected to play Sunday Fri Oct 23, 04:29 PM
49ers WR Christian Kirk (calf) is listed as questionable for Sunday's Week 7 game at the Falcons. Kirk is expected to play. The 49ers are already without WRs Mike Evans (Achilles) and Deebo Samuel Sr. (hamstring), who have both been ruled out.
| Footballguys view: Kirk has been injured since training camp began. While that would normally be cause for concern, the 49ers are desperate. Mike Evans and Deebo Samuel Sr. are out for this game. De'Zhaun Stribling and Ricky Pearsall remain on IR. Kirk could step into this matchup as the team's WR1. Expect a game plan focused on the running backs and George Kittle, but keep in mind Kirk could be a deep-league flex if you need one. |
