[TB - WR Antonio Brown ruled out]() Source: The Athletic - Greg Auman Tampa Bay Buccaneers WR [Antonio Brown](=) (ankle) has been ruled out for Week 7. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Tyler Johnson will get the start in his place and he is more than good enough to be in lineups with six teams on bye. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 2. [TB - TE Rob Gronkowski out again]() Source: The Athletic - Greg Auman Tampa Bay Buccaneers TE [Rob Gronkowski](=) (ribs) has been ruled out for Week 7. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] O.J. Howard is a little banged up, but he's a fine bye week fill-in coming off of a nice Week 6 game with Gronkowski out. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 3. [NYG - WR Kadarius Toney won't play in Week 7]() Source: The Athletic - Dan Duggan New York Giants WR [Kadarius Toney](=) (ankle) has been ruled out for Week 7 against the Carolina Panthers. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Don't drop Toney, who was on his way to a huge game last week before getting hurt. His upside is too high to give up on. If anything, try to pry him from an impatient team while Toney is hurt. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 4. [PHI - TE Dallas Goedert good to go for Week 7](=) Source: Pro Football Focus - Doug Kyed Philadelphia Eagles TE [Dallas Goedert](=) will play without restrictions in Week 7 versus the Las Vegas Raiders after being activated from the Reserve/COVID-19 list earlier in the week. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Goedert is worth starting now that Zach Ertz was traded to Cardinals. He could be inconsistent because of Jalen Hurts choppy passing performances, but the potential for big plays will keep him in the TE1 mix. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 5. [NYG - RB Saquon Barkley will not play vs. Carolina]() Source: The Athletic - Dan Duggan New York Giants RB [Saquon Barkley](=) (ankle) has been ruled out for Week 7 against the Carolina Panthers. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Devontae Booker will get the start, but has a low ceiling against the Panthers. With six teams on bye, he's probably getting into your lineup anyway. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 6. [BAL - RB Latavius Murray likely out]( Source: The Baltimore Sun - Jonas Shaffer Baltimore Ravens RB [Latavius Murray](=) (ankle) is out of practice Friday, Oct. 22, and is likely out for Week 7. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Devonta Freeman, Le'Veon Bell, and Ty'Son Williams will split the work in the backfield. All are just what the heck flexes this week, but they might have to be your RB2 because of byes.

[WAS - Washington's Week 7 injury report]( Source: WashingtonFootball.com Washington Football Team OL Samuel Cosmi (ankle), WR [Curtis Samuel](=) (groin), OG Brandon Scherff (knee) and WR [Cam Sims](=) (hamstring) did not practice all week and have been ruled out for Week 7 versus the Green Bay Packers. CB William Jackson III (knee) and DE Shaka Toney (illness) did not practice Friday, Oct. 22, but are listed as questionable. RB [Antonio Gibson](=) (shin) was limited in practice for a second straight day on Friday and is also listed as questionable. TE [Ricky Seals-Jones](=) (quad) and WR [Dyami Brown](=) (knee) remained limited in practice on Friday but have been removed from the injury report. OT Charles Leno Jr. (rest), WR [Terry McLaurin](=) (hamstring) and DT Jonathan Allen (knee) practiced in full on Friday and also no longer appear on the injury report. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Gibson should play, but he has a low ceiling and could see the bench in the second half if Washington falls behind. This looks like more of a J.D. McKissic week on the road at Lambeau. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 8. [CAR - Carolina's Week 7 injury report]() Source: Panthers.com Carolina Panthers WR [Terrace Marshall](=) Jr. (concussion), LB Shaq Thompson (foot) and FB Giovanni Ricci (concussion) did not practice all week and have been ruled out for Week 7 against the New York Giants. OT Cameron Erving (neck, illness) did not practice Friday, Oct. 22, but is listed as questionable. WR [Alex Erickson](=) (concussion) was limited in practice for a second consecutive day on Friday and is also listed as questionable. CB CJ Henderson (shoulder), LB Frankie Luvu (biceps) and C Matt Paradis (knee) practiced in full on Friday and have been removed from the injury report. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Robby Anderson has a better chance at fantasy relevance this week with Marshall sitting, but he is coming off of one of the worst games of his career. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 9. [NYG - Doubt cast on WR Sterling Shepard]( Source: SNY - Ralph Vacchiano New York Giants WR [Sterling Shepard](=) (hamstring) may have suffered a setback Thursday, Oct. 21, and his status is in doubt for Week 7 [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] It looks like Collin Johnson and Dante Pettis will get a lot of snaps at wide receiver this week. Whether Shepard, John Ross, or Darius Slayton will join them will depend on how they respond to nagging injuries this week. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 10. [CHI - TE Jimmy Graham lands on COVID list]() Source: ChicagoBears.com Chicago Bears TE [Jimmy Graham](=) was placed on the Reserve/COVID-19 list Friday, Oct. 22. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Cole Kmet will have less competition for targets in a pass-heavy game script against the Bucs. Graham has only gotten three targets this year, so it's not really a change for Kmet's outlook this week. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 11. [CLE - WR Donovan Peoples-Jones injures groin]() Source: The Associated Press Cleveland Browns WR [Donovan Peoples-Jones](=) (groin) injured his groin during pregame warm-ups on Thursday, Oct. 21, and did not play against the Denver Broncos. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Peoples-Jones will be a zero for anyone counting on him this week thanks to the late nature of the injury and announcement.
