Falcons RB Brian Robinson (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's Week 7 game against the 49ers. Atlanta has carried only two running backs on its active roster through the first six games, and with Robinson out, the team will elevate RB Khalil Herbert to serve as the backup running back.

49ers WR Mike Evans was not on the field at the start of practice on Friday. Evans, who is dealing with Achilles tendinitis, was also not seen practicing on Wednesday or during the open portion of Thursday's practice. Head coach Kyle Shanahan said earlier this week he hoped Evans would play in Week 7.

Vikings WR Justin Jefferson (ankle) does not carry an injury designation for Sunday's Week 7 game against the Colts and is among the players ready to go. RB Jordan Mason is Minnesota's only player with a designation.

Rams head coach Sean McVay said on Friday that WR Puka Nacua stopped practicing because he felt he wasn't able to "have some of the power and full explosion" with his calf. Nacua will work out before Sunday's game against the Raiders to test the injury. He is questionable for the game, and the calf injury is believed to be minor.

Rams WR Puka Nacua is questionable for Sunday's Week 7 game at the Raiders. Nacua is dealing with a calf injury that forced him to leave Thursday's practice early.

Chiefs WR Rashee Rice (right hamstring) is out for Sunday's game against the Seahawks, head coach Andy Reid said on Friday. Rice did not practice on Wednesday or Thursday, and a knee issue was added to his injury report on Thursday.
| Footballguys view: Originally dismissed as a minor injury, fantasy managers now brace for their third straight week without Rice. The hope was that Rice would be active after the Chiefs' Week 5 bye, but he was inactive in Week 6 and hasn't practiced since. Last week, Xavier Worthy had his best game of the season, while Jalen Royals and Andrew Armstrong ran as full-time receivers. Worthy is in the WR2 discussion, while Royals and Armstrong fall into touchdown-or-bust options desperate deep-league managers may want to consider. |

Vikings RB Jordan Mason is "technically questionable" for Sunday's game against the Colts, head coach Kevin O'Connell said on Friday. Mason, who was designated to return from injured reserve this week, practiced in full all week, and O'Connell said "things are looking positive" for him to play. Mason is the only Vikings player with an injury designation for the game.
| Footballguys view: The Vikings have no incentive to rush to activate Mason for IR and will likely do so as we get closer to Sunday's kickoff. Aaron Jones has been handling a massive load in Mason's absence, and this week's reports noted that he's been playing through an MCL sprain. If Mason is active, he might take on a bit more than his normal workload while Jones gets some much-deserved rest. |

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. |

Browns RB Quinshon Judkins is cleared to play in Sunday's Week 7 game at the Titans, per Friday's injury report. Judkins was ruled out of last Sunday's game against the Ravens after a pregame workout. Head coach Todd Monken said on Wednesday he was 'optimistic' Judkins would play against Tennessee.
| Footballguys view: Judkins was a game-time decision last week, so anything other than an active status this week would have been cause for alarm. Dylan Sampson is nearing his return, but won't be ready in time for this matchup against the Titans. Judkins will cede some work to Jaleel McLaughlin and Audric Estime, but you can start him as a solid RB2 this week. |
Quinshon Judkins player page
Cardinals RB Jeremiyah Love will miss Sunday's Week 7 game against the Broncos, head coach Mike LaFleur said on Friday. It will be the second straight game Love misses as he rests his ankle injury.
| Footballguys view: Love will miss his second straight game as he recovers from a high ankle sprain suffered this preseason. Love valiantly played through the injury, but it was starting to affect him, so the team is giving him a short-term rest. Expect Tyler Allgeier to start and Bam Knight to work in, with the latter having more appeal in PPR leagues. It's unclear exactly when Love will return, but fantasy managers with winning records might want to buy low in hopes the rookie becomes a late-season riser. |
Jeremiyah Love player page
Browns RB Dylan Sampson is questionable for Sunday's game at the Titans. Sampson has been on injured reserve with a knee injury and was designated to return. Head coach Todd Monken said on Wednesday he was 'optimistic' Sampson would play against Tennessee.
| Footballguys view: Sampson's 21-day practice window opened last week, and he logged a full week of limited practices. There was hope he could upgrade to full status this week, but that didn't happen. Sampson's pass-catching skill set gives him tempting upside in PPR leagues, but fantasy managers might want to take a wait-and-see approach before adding him to lineups. |
Dylan Sampson player page
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. |

Raiders rookie RB Mike Washington Jr. was not spotted at practice on Friday. Washington, who has a foot injury, was also not present at Thursday's practice. RB Ashton Jeanty looks like he "could be in line for a full share of the reps" in Sunday's game against the Rams.
| Footballguys view: Washington was limited at practice to start the week and has missed both practices since, suggesting he likely won't play this week. The rookie was heating up, getting double-digit touches in two of his last three games. Ashton Jeanty is off the injury report this week, and he's expected to get the bulk of the work. Dylan Laube may get an occasional touch, but Jeanty deserves consideration as a back-end RB1. |
Mike Washington Jr. player page
Falcons RB Brian Robinson Jr. has been ruled out for Sunday's Week 7 game against the 49ers with a hamstring injury. Robinson first appeared on Wednesday's injury report as a limited participant before being ruled out on Friday.
| Footballguys view: Not like you were thinking about benching Bijan Robinson, but his path to being this week's top-scoring running back clears with the backfield to himself. Khalil Herbert and rookie Jam Miller are on the practice squad, and one will likely be called up. But expect Bijan Robinson to handle most, if not all, of the touches. |

Buccaneers WR Emeka Egbuka (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game at the Panthers. Head coach Todd Bowles had said on Friday, about 25 minutes before the team's injury report came out, that Egbuka was doubtful but leaning towards out.
| Footballguys view: No surprise here with Egbuka's inability to practice all week. He'll hope to return next week, giving him two games before the Week 10 bye. Expect Chris Godwin, Ted Hurst, Tez Johnson, and Cade Otton to see a bit more work than usual, but they're all desperation plays in fantasy. Bucky Irving, who has quietly received bellcow usage over the last two weeks, should also be in line for extra receiving work. |
Emeka Egbuka player page
Colts TE Tyler Warren (groin) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Vikings, head coach Shane Steichen said on Friday. Warren did not practice all week, missing Wednesday, Thursday and Friday sessions.
| Footballguys view: We'll get another week without Warren. He suffered the injury in practice leading up to Week 6's game, missed the game, and hasn't practiced since. The Colts face an undefeated Vikings squad this week. Keenan Allen can eat on short targets and has value in PPR leagues as a low-ceiling WR3, but Jonathan Taylor is the only guy with any legitimate value on this roster. Warren will be in the TE1 discussion once he's healthy, and he'll try to return to practice again next week. |
Tyler Warren player page
Rams WR Puka Nacua's availability for Sunday's Week 7 game at the Raiders is uncertain. "It's very much up in the air if Puka Nacua is gonna play this Sunday," the report said on Friday. Nacua left Thursday's practice early with a calf injury.
| Footballguys view: With a 4:25 pm E.T. kickoff, fantasy managers may face a tough decision. We'll hope for a report that gives us clarity before the early games kick off, but Nacua's managers should pick up Konata Mumpfield as a same-game pivot. Isaac TeSlaa is also available in many leagues after last week's bye and could be a nice option in a game with a week-high 53.5-point over/under. If Nacua plays, he's in your lineup. But the dreaded late-game uncertainty will require managers to plan ahead. |

Bears TE Cole Kmet's knee injury is believed to be a torn ACL, a source said on Friday. NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported that Kmet is "believed to have suffered a serious, likely season-ending knee injury" and was set for more tests Friday morning, adding that "until those results come back, there is no finality." Kmet was carted off after grabbing his knee in Thursday's win over the Patriots, and head coach Ben Johnson said after the game that it didn't look very good. The Bears have not made an official statement.

Buccaneers WR Emeka Egbuka (concussion) is doubtful for Sunday's game at Carolina. Head coach Todd Bowles said it would take a heckuva recovery for Egbuka to play, and he is not expected to suit up.
| Footballguys view: A doubtful designation rarely results in an active status, so fantasy managers should plan to be without Egbuka in Week 7 lineups. Expect Chris Godwin, Ted Hurst, Tez Johnson, and Cade Otton to see a bit more work than usual, but they're all desperation plays in fantasy. |
Emeka Egbuka player page
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. |

Titans WR Calvin Ridley (hip) will not practice on Friday and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Browns. Ridley also did not practice on Thursday.

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. |

Colts TE Tyler Warren (groin) was not practicing on Friday. Warren also did not practice on Wednesday or Thursday, and he was inactive for last Sunday's loss to the Titans with the groin injury.

Packers RB Josh Jacobs is on track to play Sunday against the Lions as long as he gets through Friday's practice and continues to trend in the right direction, head coach Matt LaFleur said on Friday. Jacobs returned to the field on Wednesday after a stint on the exempt list and took his 'first handoff in a while' on Thursday.
| Footballguys view: The Packers' offense has been fantastic despite one of the league's most putrid run games. Matt LeFleur has deployed a run-first offense since Jordan Love took over in 2023, but it has leaned more toward a pass-happy attack without Jacobs through the first six weeks of this season. Jacobs may need a ramp-up period, but the Packers will hope to get him to 100 percent soon. He's an RB2 in Week 7 with RB1 upside over the second half of the season. |
Josh Jacobs player page
Bears TE Cole Kmet, who was carted off in Thursday's win over the Patriots, is believed to have suffered a serious, likely season-ending knee injury, sources said. Kmet is undergoing testing on Friday morning, and until those results come back, there is no finality.
| Footballguys view: Kmet's production hasn't been great since 2023, when he logged his lone TE1 fantasy season. But he's the longest-tenured Bear and a team leader. As a traditional tight end, Loveland lets Colston run more routes, and the Bears are losing a key part of their offense, even if the box score doesn't show it. They drafted Sam Roush 69th overall this year, and he's been slow to get up to speed so far. He'll need to step into a bigger role with Kmet out, but the Bears could be in the market for a trade as they dream about a postseason run. |

Buccaneers WR Emeka Egbuka returned to practice on Friday. Egbuka had been in the concussion protocol and did not practice on Wednesday. Head coach Todd Bowles was scheduled to give an update later Friday.
| Footballguys view: We'll get more news on Egbuka after practice, but returning to practice doesn't guarantee he'll clear concussion protocol. In addition to the concussion, Egbuka is tending to a foot injury. He's on a mini heater, scoring a touchdown in each of his last two games. But we'll need clarity after practice to make responsible projections about Egbuka's Week 7 outlook. |

Jets WR Adonai Mitchell is on track to play in Sunday's game against the Dolphins, head coach Aaron Glenn said on Friday. Mitchell has practiced all week after missing four games with a finger injury and is set to be a full participant in practice on Friday.
| Footballguys view: After snagging his finger in a jersey during a practice, Mitchell missed an entire month of action. While he was out, first-round rookie Omar Cooper Jr. returned and broke out. Additionally, Breece Hall could return this week. The Jets offense got crowded, and it's hard to project Mitchell into a major role. He's worth holding onto in deep leagues, but he's a fringe WR4 in Week 7. |
Adonai Mitchell player page
Dolphins RB Jaylen Wright (foot) is good to go for Sunday's game against the Jets, head coach Jeff Hafley said on Friday.
| Footballguys view: Coming out of the bye, there was hope that Wright could log a full week of practices. However, he opened the week limited, still managing the foot injury he picked up about a month ago. He'll play Sunday, but Ollie Gordon II has looked very good, and Wright may still be limited. Wright is worth a stash in case the workload shifts or Gordon gets injured, but he's little more than a desperation flex in Week 7 lineups. |
Jaylen Wright player page
Dolphins rookie WR Caleb Douglas (ankle) is expected to play in Sunday's game against the Jets, head coach Jeff Hafley said on Friday. Douglas was limited on Monday and went through limited drills on Wednesday.
| Footballguys view: Douglas caught five of seven targets for 94 yards in his NFL debut before injuring his ankle in Week 2. He's missed every game since, but was able to practice this week. It'll be hard to trust Douglas in Week 7 lineups, but he's a priority stash to see if his Week 1 performance was a fluke or a sign of things to come. |
Caleb Douglas player page
Jets RB Breece Hall (quad) will be limited in practice on Friday and will be listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Dolphins, head coach Aaron Glenn said. Glenn said the decision on Hall will go to Sunday. Hall returned to practice on Thursday after missing Wednesday's session.
| Footballguys view: Braelon Allen has been fantastic in Hall's absence, so there's no need to rush Hall back into the game this week against the Dolphins. If Hall is active, he'll be ranked as an RB2, and Allen falls out of consideration. If Hall can't go, get Allen in your lineup as a high-end RB2. |
Breece Hall player page
Saints RB Alvin Kamara (back) has no injury designation and will play against the Steelers on Sunday. Kamara was limited in practice this week. He briefly left last Sunday's win over the Giants before returning to the game.
| Footballguys view: Kamara has worked through a litany of injuries since preseason but has been a sneaky fantasy play. He's the RB27 in PPR, providing high-end RB3 production. Especially with Travis Etienne Jr. still on IR, Kamara deserves consideration as an RB3/flex play this week against the Steelers. |
Alvin Kamara player page
Raiders offensive coordinator Andrew Janocko praised TE Michael Mayer during his Thursday press conference, calling him "a valuable piece to this team" and adding, "He's going to be a part of our success going forward." Janocko cited Mayer's work in the "run game, pass game protections" and noted he "sits in the front row of the meeting rooms." Mayer had a career-high 95 receiving yards in last Sunday's 33-30 loss to the Bills.
| Footballguys view: The Raiders ran multi-tight-end sets on 74% of their snaps last week, clearly comfortable using both Brock Bowers and Mayer full-time. Mayer is the TE12 on the year. He has a tough matchup this weekend against the Rams, but he's firmly in the streaming discussion. |
Michael Mayer player page
Steelers RB Rico Dowdle (knee) has been listed as questionable for Sunday's Week 7 game against the Saints in Paris. Bad weather scrapped the team's planned walkthrough at Stade de France on Friday, so the Steelers will hold their final practice on Saturday.
| Footballguys view: Dowdle missed some time due to a toe injury, unrelated to the knee injury he's currently managing. In Dowdle's absence, Jaylen Warren provided elite RB1 production. If Dowdle is active, he's a flex play and Warren is a back-end RB2. If Dowdle is inactive, Warren becomes a must-start option. With the Paris game kicking off early on Sunday, set your alarms and make sure your lineups are set correctly. |
Rico Dowdle player page
Rams WR Puka Nacua suffered what is believed to be a minor calf injury. Nacua left Thursday's practice early with the calf injury. The Rams play at the Raiders on Sunday.
| Footballguys view: After Davante Adams suffered a ruptured hamstring earlier in the week, the Rams are extremely thin at receiver, with no viable options behind Nacua. Leaving a practice midweek is always a concern, but the Rams are downplaying the severity. We should have a better idea on Nacua's outlook after Friday's practice. |
Puka Nacua player page
Patriots RB Rhamondre Stevenson led the team's running backs with 37 offensive snaps in Thursday's game against the Bears. RB TreVeyon Henderson played 13 snaps as his time "declines of late," and he has played 27.1% of the offensive snaps on the year. New England ran a season-low 54 offensive plays after averaging 68.

Buccaneers QB Baker Mayfield (thumb) is slated to return and start against the Panthers on Sunday, per a source. Mayfield, who dislocated his thumb, was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, and head coach Todd Bowles had said he would decide Friday whether Mayfield starts.

New England Patriots TE Eli Raridon caught 3 passes for 56 yards and a touchdown on 4 targets in Thursday's 30-24 loss to the Chicago Bears. He was projected for 3.4 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 13.1.

Chicago Bears WR Luther Burden III ran 1 time for 7 yards and also caught 4 passes for 130 yards and a touchdown on 4 targets in Thursday's 30-24 win over the New England Patriots. He was projected for 11.6 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 21.7.

New England Patriots QB Drake Maye completed 24 of 31 passes for 321 yards with 2 touchdowns and 1 interception and ran 4 times for 26 yards and a touchdown in Thursday's 30-24 loss to the Chicago Bears. He was projected for 20.2 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 28.4.

Chicago Bears QB Caleb Williams completed 22 of 33 passes for 308 yards with 2 touchdowns in Thursday's 30-24 win over the New England Patriots. He was projected for 20.3 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 22.1.
