[CAR - Christian McCaffrey Traded To 49ers](=) Source: NFL Network - Ian Rapoport Full terms: -- The #49ers get star RB Christian McCaffrey. -- The #Panthers get a 2nd round pick in 2023, a third-rounder in 2023, and a fourth-round pick in 2023. Plus, a fifth-rounder in 2024. Massive. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Huge news as San Francisco gets a big offensive lift by adding one of the top playmakers in the NFL. Carolina gets a pile of picks in return to speed up their rebuilding process. Rapoport reports that McCaffrey will arrive in San Francisco tomorrow and should be active on Sunday with a reduced package of plays. [Back to Top]( --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 2. [DAL - QB Dak Prescott to start Week 7]( Source: The Dallas Morning News - Michael Gehlken Dallas Cowboys QB [Dak Prescott](=) (thumb) told reporters Thursday, Oct. 20, that he will start against the Detroit Lions in Week 7. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Here we go! The Cowboys played good football with Cooper Rush under center, but the offense was somewhat limited. Now, Prescott will be able to unlock their full potential on that side of the ball. Against the Lions in Week 7, Prescott steps into a great matchup and should perform like a QB1 for Fantasy GMs. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 3. [WAS - Jahan Dotson has setback with hamstring]( Source: The Washington Post - Nicki Jhabvala Washington Commanders WR [Jahan Dotson](=) (hamstring) aggravated his hamstring injury during practice Thursday, Oct. 20. Dotson told reporters later that he felt the aggravation was 'not too bad' and 'should be all right' with more rest. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Dotson is a speed/explosive guy who has to be careful with a hamstring injury. As he continues to miss more time, it opens the door for WR Dyami Brown. With QB Taylor Heinicke at quarterback, we're not sure how much Brown gets worked into the mix. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 4. [LVR - TE Darren Waller a no-go again Thursday]( Source: The Athletic - Tashan Reed Las Vegas Raiders TE [Darren Waller](=) (hamstring) did not practice for a second consecutive day Thursday, Oct. 20. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Two DNPs in a row after a bye week in Week 6 means Waller is unlikely to play in Week 7. Foster Moreau will do more if/when Waller is declared out. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 5. [IND - RB Jonathan Taylor upbeat about Week 7 status](=) Source: FOX 59 Indianapolis - Mike Chappell Indianapolis Colts RB [Jonathan Taylor](=) (ankle) told Fox 59's Mike Chappell that he knew he wasn't moving 'the right way' prior to Week 6 but that he is 'feeling good' as of Thursday, Oct. 20. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Taylor should be back in action against the Titans on Sunday. We'll see the Colts shift away from QB Matt Ryan throwing 50-plus times a game with Taylor back out there as the centerpiece of their offense. If Taylor plays, he's a low-end RB1 for Fantasy GMs in Week 7. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 6. [BAL - Another DNP for RB J.K. Dobbins](=) Source: ESPN.com - Jamison Hensley Baltimore Ravens RB [J.K. Dobbins](=) missed a second straight practice Thursday, Oct. 20. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] It's looking like the Ravens will be without Dobbins in Week 7 against the Browns. That means Kenyan Drake could get a larger role and, after his 100-yard game last week, Fantasy GMs are going to be tempted to start him. If Dobbins can't play, Drake and Justice Hill could get more work. We'll see what Dobbins can do on Friday. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 7. [TB - WR Julio Jones practicing Thursday]() Source: Tampa Bay Times - Greg Auman Tampa Bay Buccaneers WR [Julio Jones](=) (knee) was spotted during practice Thursday, Oct. 20. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] It's news when Jones is practicing. The Buccaneers could ease him back into action in Week 7 if he's ready to play against the Panthers on Sunday. From a fantasy perspective, Jones is not an interesting player because the Buccaneers have Mike Evans and Chris Godwin well ahead of him in the pecking order. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 8. [BAL - TE Mark Andrews sits again Thursday](=) Source: ESPN.com - Jamison Hensley Baltimore Ravens TE [Mark Andrews](=) (knee, rest) missed a second straight practice Thursday, Oct. 20. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Back-to-back DNPs is a concern for Fantasy GMs. Andrews is supposedly just getting some rest according to Ravens head coach John Harbaugh. Let's hope their superstar tight end can participate in practice on Friday. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 9. [NE - QB Mac Jones expected back]() Source: ESPN.com - Mike Reiss New England Patriots QB [Mac Jones](=) (ankle) is expected to be ready to play Monday, Oct. 24, against the Chicago Bears. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Bailey Zappe has played well for the Patriots over the last couple of weeks, but there is zero quarterback controversy. Jones is the starter when healthy, and he's trending to return to the field in Week 7. We'll see if Jones can play better upon his return than he did earlier this season. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 10. [PIT - Kenny Pickett practices again]() Source: Steelers.com - Teresa Varley Pittsburgh Steelers QB [Kenny Pickett](=) (concussion) fully participated in practice Thursday, Oct. 20. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Pickett is likely to be the team's starter in Week 7. They're traveling to play against the Dolphins, and Pickett will continue to make mistakes as he grows into his NFL role. He's a low-end QB2 for Fantasy GMs, and most Fantasy GMs in superflex leagues won't be considering the rookie. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 11. [DET - Detroit signs Stanley Berryhill]( Source: NFLCommunications.com The Detroit Lions signed free-agent WR Stanley Berryhill (Cardinals) to the practice squad on Wednesday, Oct. 19. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Berryhill is an explosive player who can make defenders miss in the open field. He's mentally tough and can make plays in traffic. We'll continue to monitor him in crazy deep dynasty formats.

[NYJ - WR Elijah Moore requests a trade](=) Source: NFL Network - Ian Rapoport New York Jets WR [Elijah Moore](=) has requested a trade because of frustration over his current role and usage, but the team has no interest in trading him, per sources on Thursday, Oct. 20. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Keep an eye on this one. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 13. [GB - WR Kawaan Baker heads to Green Bay]( Source: NFLCommunications.com The Green Bay Packers signed free-agent WR Kawaan Baker (Saints) to the practice squad on Wednesday, Oct. 19. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Baker was a seventh-round pick out of South Alabama in the 2021 NFL draft. He is certainly explosive and many in the league see him as a big slot who can attack a nickel defender. Baker has the athletic profile we love to monitor in crazy deep dynasty formats. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 14. [NYG - RB Saquon Barkley listed as limited](=) Source: Giants.com New York Giants RB [Saquon Barkley](=) (shoulder) was limited during practice Thursday, Oct. 20. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Barkley is a little banged up with this shoulder and has been for some time. The Giants are managing his practice schedule, and we should see him fully participate on Friday. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 15. [DAL - TE Dalton Schultz a full participant]( Source: The Dallas Morning News - Michael Gehlken Dallas Cowboys TE [Dalton Schultz](=) (knee) fully participated in practice Thursday, Oct. 20. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] The return of QB Dak Prescott is great news for the Cowboys and for Schultz. So long as Schultz doesn't aggravate his knee injury in pregame warmups like he did last week, he will be out there in Week 7. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 16. [GB - QB Aaron Rodgers back to work Thursday](=) Source: ESPN.com - Rob Demovsky Green Bay Packers QB [Aaron Rodgers](=) (thumb) participated in practice Thursday, Oct. 20. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] The Packers are hoping to get back in the 'win' column this week against the Commanders. Rodgers has been unhappy with his young wide receivers, and the production we're used to hasn't been there in the Packers' passing game. We see Rodgers as a low-end QB1 in Week 7 as the team travels to play Washington. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 17. [PIT - TE Pat Freiermuth takes part in practice]() Source: Steelers.com - Teresa Varley Pittsburgh Steelers TE [Pat Freiermuth](=) (concussion) fully participated in practice Thursday, Oct. 20. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] That's a good sign for Freiermuth and for Fantasy GMs navigating the bye week gauntlet. We've got him as a top-10 fantasy tight end this week against the Dolphins. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 18. [BAL - Baltimore optimistic about RB Gus Edwards](=) Source: The Athletic - Jeff Zrebiec Baltimore Ravens RB Gus Edwards (knee) is 'on track' to return as soon as Week 7 versus the Cleveland Browns, according to comments made by offensive coordinator Greg Roman on Thursday, Oct. 20. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] We are unlikely to see J.K. Dobbins against the Browns in Week 7. Instead, the Ravens could lean on Kenyan Drake, Justice Hill, and Edwards. It's a full-blown RBBC in Baltimore, but we do love Edwards as a touchdown-dependent deep flex play. Give him a week to see how it looks before you rush to jump on the 'Gus Bus' in your fantasy lineup. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 19. [DEN - Albert Okgwuebunam drawing trade interest]() Source: Houston Chronicle - Aaron Wilson Denver Broncos TE Albert Okgwuebunam has drawn trade interest from teams, according to a source Thursday, Oct. 20. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Okgwuebunam was a healthy scratch in Week 6 following the debut of rookie TE Greg Dulcich. He's clearly not in the plans for the Broncos' future. In this offense, the tight end can be quite valuable and we saw that in the debut of Dulcich with a long touchdown grab by the rookie. Okwuegbunam is big and fast, but he can't block and won't fetch more than a late-round pick (if anything at all) for the Broncos. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 20. [GB - WR Sammy Watkins a possibility for Week 7?](=) Source: ESPN.com - Rob Demovsky Green Bay Packers WR [Sammy Watkins](=) (hamstring) 'did a nice job in terms of what we asked him to do (in practice)' and appears to have a chance to play in Week 7 versus the Washington Commanders, according to comments made by head coach Matt LaFleur on Thursday, Oct. 20. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] If Watkins plays, there's a chance he could get some targets from QB Aaron Rodgers. While Rodgers is disappointed in his young receivers, he might try to go to a veteran like Watkins more than some think. We'll believe it when we see it, and we're not going to be rushing to put Watkins in our lineups if he does play against the Commanders on Sunday.
