  Titans | Tyjae Spears questionable for Sunday vs. Browns    Fri Oct 23, 03:41 PM

Titans RB Tyjae Spears (knee) is questionable to play Sunday against the Browns. Spears did not practice Wednesday, head coach Robert Saleh said. He was also questionable for last Sunday's game at the Colts with the knee injury.

  Falcons | Brian Robinson ruled out for Week 7, Khalil Herbert to be elevated as backup RB    Fri Oct 23, 03:16 PM

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.

  Vikings | Jordan Mason 'technically questionable' for Sunday, 'things are looking positive'    Fri Oct 23, 02:07 PM

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.

  Browns | Quinshon Judkins 'cleared to play' Sunday at Titans    Fri Oct 23, 01:38 PM

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.

  Cardinals | Jeremiyah Love ruled out for second straight game with ankle injury    Fri Oct 23, 01:33 PM

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.

  Browns | Dylan Sampson listed questionable for Sunday at Titans    Fri Oct 23, 01:25 PM

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.

  Raiders | Mike Washington Jr. not spotted at Friday practice, Jeanty in line for 'full share'    Fri Oct 23, 01:17 PM

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.

  Falcons | Brian Robinson ruled out for Week 7 with hamstring injury    Fri Oct 23, 01:07 PM

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.

  Packers | Josh Jacobs 'on track to play Sunday' if he gets through Friday's practice    Fri Oct 23, 11:52 AM

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.

  Dolphins | Jaylen Wright 'good to go' for Sunday against Jets    Fri Oct 23, 10:51 AM

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.

  Jets | Breece Hall questionable, decision 'will go to Sunday'    Fri Oct 23, 10:46 AM

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.

  Saints | Alvin Kamara has no injury designation, will play against Steelers    Fri Oct 23, 10:41 AM

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.

  Steelers | Rico Dowdle questionable for Week 7 against Saints in Paris    Fri Oct 23, 09:00 AM

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.

  Patriots | Stevenson leads RBs with 37 snaps as Henderson's time 'declines of late'    Fri Oct 23, 07:10 AM

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.

  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.

  Seahawks | Zach Charbonnet full again, 'positive sign' for 2026 debut Sunday night    Thu Oct 22, 07:18 PM

  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).

  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.

  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.

  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.

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.

  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 | 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.

  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.

  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.

  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.

  Eagles | Saquon Barkley expected back at practice Thursday, 'in line to play' Monday vs. Cowboys    Thu Oct 22, 09:32 AM

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.

Footballguys view: The game is on Monday Night Football, so we'll have to see what Barkley's status is on Saturday. Barkley has been out of action with this hamstring injury since Week 4. They won't have Jalen Hurts, but getting Barkley back is huge for the offense in what has to be considered a must-win game. We like him in the RB2 range this week from a fantasy perspective.

  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.

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.

  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.

Footballguys view: Hubbard picked up some tough yards against the Eagles, so he could be getting some veteran rest here. He should be fine for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, and we like Hubbard as a low-end RB1.

  Titans | Tyjae Spears won't practice Wednesday, Saleh says    Wed Oct 21, 12:28 PM

Titans RB Tyjae Spears will not practice on Wednesday, head coach Robert Saleh said. Spears was dealing with a knee injury last week, when he was downgraded to a non-participant on Thursday and listed as questionable for Sunday's game at the Colts. The Titans host the Browns on Sunday.

Footballguys view: Spears recorded one carry (one yard) and one reception (seven yards) in the Titans' Week 6 win over the Colts. He's just not getting used enough to have fantasy relevance at this time. If/when the Titans trade Tony Pollard, then Spears' role would grow into at least flex-worthy territory.

  Jets | Aaron Glenn: Breece Hall 'always been our starter,' but Allen 'going to get touches too'    Wed Oct 21, 12:18 PM

Jets head coach Aaron Glenn said on Wednesday that RB Breece Hall will remain the starter when he returns from his quadriceps injury, but RB Braelon Allen will still have a role. "Breece is our starter, he's always been our starter, but Braelon is going to get touches too," Glenn said when asked about the backfield roles based on how Allen has been playing. Hall is not practicing on Wednesday.

Footballguys view: Hall may not be able to return in Week 7. He's been injured for about a month, but the team did not place him on Injured Reserve. Allen has been productive as the starter and lead back for the Jets while Hall has been out. When Hall returns, Allen should be more involved than he was previously when Hall was healthy.

Jets RB Breece Hall will not practice on Wednesday. Hall has been dealing with a quad injury that kept him out of the Jets' Week 6 game against the Patriots. The Jets host the Dolphins on Sunday.

Footballguys view: Hall injured his quad in Week 3, and he hasn't played since then. He's getting closer to a return but could still miss Week 7. That makes Braelon Allen the Jets' lead back again, and we like him as an RB2/flex option for Fantasy GMs.

Browns head coach Todd Monken said on Wednesday that he is optimistic both RB Quinshon Judkins and RB Dylan Sampson will play against the Titans on Sunday. Judkins was ruled out of last Sunday's game against the Ravens after a pregame workout. Sampson has been on injured reserve with a knee injury suffered in the season opener and returned to practice last week.

Footballguys view: Judkins should be the lead ball-carrier for the Browns now that he's likely to be back in action. We've got Judkins in the RB3/flex range for Fantasy GMs this week. Sampson is a dynamic player in space, and the Browns could use him as their primary receiving back.
