Hey!
This is by far the most injuries I’ve seen in a single week this season.
Here are 23 key updates you need to know before setting your Week 7 fantasy lineups:
#23 Puka Nacua is OUT. He’s battling an ankle injury, and the hope is he’ll return after the Rams Week 8 bye. Jordan Whittington is a FLEX option with Nacua out this week...
#22 CeeDee Lamb says he’ll play with no pitch count. He’s trending to return from an ankle injury. If active, Lamb is instantly a Top 10 receiver this week...
#21 Garrett Wilson is OUT. He suffered a knee injury in Week 6 and is expected to miss time. Mason Taylor & Breece Hall are the only Jets worth playing this week...
#20 Terry McLaurin is OUT. He’ll miss his 4th straight game with a quad injury. Deebo Samuel is also questionable for this game. Chris Moore, Jaylin Lane, and Luke McCaffrey would start for Washington if Deebo also sits...
#19 Chuba Hubbard will play. He was left off the final injury report and returns after missing 2 games. It’s unclear how the backfield will split, but it’s hard to trust Hubbard. He’s my RB37 in the rankings this week...
#18 Stefon Diggs is questionable. He’s battling a chest injury and was limited in practice all week. As of now, it seems like Diggs will play, but track this closely...
#17 Bucky Irving remains OUT. He hasn’t practiced in three weeks while dealing with foot and shoulder injuries. The Bucs have a Week 9 bye, so he might be held out until Week 10. Rachaad White remains a Top 24 RB this week...
#16 Josh Jacobs is questionable. He’s battling an illness and calf issue. Trending toward playing, but there’s risk he’s limited if the calf tightens up...
#15 David Njoku is OUT. He injured his knee last week and didn’t return. That opened the door for Harold Fannin, who posted a career-high 7 catches for 81 yards. Fannin is a must-start TE this week...
#14 Kyler Murray is questionable. He’s dealing with a foot injury and didn’t play last week. Current reports suggest he’s unlikely to go in Week 7...
#13 Marvin Harrison cleared concussion protocol and will play. He’s a Top 24 WR option this week, fire him up...
#12 Calvin Ridley is OUT. He missed all three practices this week with a hamstring injury. Expect him to miss multiple games. Van Jefferson should see more work but isn’t worth starting...
#11 Josh Downs is OUT. He’s in concussion protocol and won’t play this week. He led the Colts in targets over the past three games. More volume coming for Michael Pittman and Tyler Warren...
#10 Mike Evans is trending to play. He practiced this week after missing three games with a hamstring injury. If active, Evans becomes a must-start as the Bucs are without Chris Godwin and Emeka Egbuka...
#9 The 49ers continue to battle injuries. George Kittle will play, but will possibly be ramped up off hamstring injury. Jauan Jennings is still battling 5 broken ribs and Ricky Pearsall remains OUT with a knee injury. But that’s not all because...
#8 Brock Purdy is OUT. He’s close to returning, but Mac Jones will start this week...
#7 The Raiders top pass catchers are banged up. Brock Bowers is doubtful and Jakobi Meyers is questionable but was able to practice Friday. If both sit, Tre Tucker becomes a sneaky FLEX option...
#6 D’Andre Swift is questionable. He’s battling a groin issue, though the Bears are hopeful he plays. Kyle Monangai should be added everywhere in case Swift is out...
#5 Darnell Mooney is questionable. He’s been limited with a hamstring issue since Week 4. Reports suggest he’ll play, but he’s a risky start...
#4 Darius Slayton is doubtful. Still nursing a hamstring injury from Week 6. No Giants WR is reliable, but Wan’Dale Robinson becomes a strong play if Slayton sits...
#3 DJ Moore will play. He missed some practice time with a groin issue but finished the week healthy. He’s a FLEX option at best in Week 7...
#2 Quentin Johnston will play. He missed last week with a hamstring injury but practiced fully. He’s averaging 8.2 targets and 75 yards per game — solid WR3 option...
#1 Jalen Coker is questionable but expected to play. He’s returning from a quad injury and could be limited. Once fully healthy, he’ll operate as the Panthers’ WR2...
That’s all for now, make sure to adjust your lineups based on the latest Week 7 updates.
