Dobbins to undergo another surgery]() Source: ESPN - Adam Schefter Baltimore Ravens RB [J.K. Dobbins](=) (knee) is expected to undergo arthroscopic knee surgery next week, according to sources. Dobbins will likely require four to six weeks to recover. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Dobbins had a setback in his return from major knee surgery, which casts a shadow over the rest of his 2022. He can be dropped as the Ravens will likely go light on his workload when he returns. Hopefully he can return to pre-injury form in 2023. Justice Hill, Kenyan Drake, and Gus Edwards all become more intriguing in light of this, but this could just be a frustrating three-headed backfield going forward. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 2. [NYJ - WR Elijah Moore out for Week 7]() Source: NewYorkJets.com New York Jets WR [Elijah Moore](=) will not play in Week 7, according to head coach Robert Saleh. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Denzel Mims will finally get a chance to show what he can do with Moore sitting. The message has been sent to Jets players about asking for trades or questioning their usage in the media. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 3. [DEN - QB Russell Wilson iffy for Week 7]( Source: NFL Network - James Palmer Denver Broncos QB [Russell Wilson](=) (hamstring, shoulder) is listed as questionable for Week 7 against the New York Jets due to the hamstring injury he suffered in Week 6 versus the Los Angeles Chargers. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Wilson is a true game-time decision for a Sunday afternoon game. It's probably better to bench him and really any Bronco instead of waiting to see if he'll play. An injured Wilson might be only marginally better than a healthy Brett Rypien. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 4. [DAL - QB Dak Prescott off the injury report]( Source: Dallas Morning News - Michael Gehlken Dallas Cowboys QB [Dak Prescott](=) (thumb) practiced in full all week and was removed from the injury report on Friday, Oct. 21. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Good news for Prescott. Looks like he's ready to go this week. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 5. [IND - RB Jonathan Taylor looking good for Week 7](=) Source: CNHI Sports Indiana - George Bremer Indianapolis Colts RB [Jonathan Taylor](=) (ankle) may not handle a full workload in Week 7 against the Tennessee Titans, according to comments made by head coach Frank Reich on Friday, Oct. 21. However, Reich noted that Taylor's return from a two-game absence is 'looking positive.' [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Taylor still has to be in your lineup if he's active, but this could also lead to another pass-heavy day for Matt Ryan against a defense he had success against back in Week 4. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 6. [SF - CMC has 'pretty good chance' to play Week 7](=) Source: The Score - Jordan Schultz San Francisco 49ers [Christian McCaffrey](=) has a 'pretty good chance' to play in Week 7 against the Kansas City Chiefs following the blockbuster trade, according to Jordan Schultz of The Score on Friday, Oct. 21. Schultz reported McCaffrey could see a limited snap count with an emphasis in goal-line work as he learns the playbook. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] McCaffrey should be in your lineup for Week 7, while Jeff Wilson is a very dicey play against the Chiefs and should only be plugged in if you have no other suitable option. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 7. [CAR - More details on RB Christian McCaffrey deal](=) Source: ESPN - Adam Schefter Updating an earlier report, the Carolina Panthers acquired the San Francisco 49ers' second-, third-, and fourth-round picks in 2023, as well as their fifth-round pick in 2024, in exchange for RB [Christian McCaffrey](=), per ESPN's Adam Schefter. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] McCaffrey is due 11.8-12 million from 2023-2025, but none of it is guaranteed. If the 49ers are a winning team this year, the price for McCaffrey won't be very steep, but he could obviously put an already-stacked offense over the top. The Panthers should use one of those 2023 picks to get their next running back. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 8. [CAR - Carolina going RBBC?](=) Source: The Associated Press - Steve Reed Carolina Panthers RB D'Onta Foreman and RB [Chuba Hubbard](=) are expected to lead a running back by committee backfield following the trade that sent RB [Christian McCaffrey](=) to the San Francisco 49ers. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Raheem Blackshear will also figure into the mix. This will likely be the worst offense in the league, so there's probably nothing to see here for fantasy. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 9. [PIT - Kenny Pickett good to go](=) Source: NFL Network - Ian Rapoport Pittsburgh Steelers QB [Kenny Pickett](=) (concussion) cleared concussion protocols and will play in Week 7. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] This is good news for George Pickens, and probably the Steelers offense on the whole. Pickett is streamable for Week 7, especially if you don't get penalized too much for turnovers.

[WAS - Jahan Dotson absent Friday]() Source: ESPN.com - John Keim Washington Commanders WR [Jahan Dotson](=) (hamstring) was absent from practice Friday, Oct. 21. Dotson seemingly suffered a setback with his hamstring injury during Thursday's practice. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Terry McLaurin and Curtis Samuel should get more concentrated targets with Dotson and Dyami Brown likely out. It's not clear whether John Bates, who is questionable, will start at tight end or rookie Cole Turner, a receiving specialist, will get the call. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 11. [TB - Tampa Bay rules out four players]() Source: Buccaneers.com Tampa Bay Buccaneers WR [Julio Jones](=) (knee), DT Akiem Hicks (foot), CB Sean Murphy-Bunting (quad), and TE [Cameron Brate](=) (neck) were ruled out Friday, Oct. 21, ahead of the Week 7 game against the Carolina Panthers. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Rookie Cade Otton will get the start in place of Brate for the Bucs at tight end, and he could help you if you need bye week coverage or emergency play this week. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 12. [BAL - TE Mark Andrews practicing Friday](=) Source: ESPN.com - Jamison Hensley Baltimore Ravens TE [Mark Andrews](=) (knee) returned to practice Friday, Oct. 21, after missing the first two practices of the week. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] The fantasy football world was put on alert when Andrews missed practice yesterday, but it sounds like he'll be fine for the game against the Browns. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 13. [BAL - Week 7 injury report for Baltimore]( Source: BaltimoreRavens.com Baltimore Ravens RB [J.K. Dobbins](=) (knee) did not practice all week and has been ruled out for Week 7 versus the Cleveland Browns. LB Justin Houston (groin, rest) did not practice Friday, Oct. 21, and is listed as questionable. TE [Mark Andrews](=) (knee), WR [Rashod Bateman](=) (foot), OG Ben Cleveland (foot), OT Morgan Moses (heel) and CB Marcus Peters (rest, quad) were limited in practice Friday and are also listed as questionable. FB [Patrick Ricard](=) (knee) was upgraded to a full practice Friday but is also listed as questionable. LB Jason Pierre-Paul (rest) and OT Ronnie Stanley (rest, ankle) did not practice Friday but no longer appear on the injury report. DE Calais Campbell (foot), RB [Justice Hill](=) (hamstring) and QB [Lamar Jackson](=) (hip) practiced in full Friday and have also been removed from the injury report. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Bateman is truly questionable, which affects the outlook for Devin Duvernay, who Greg Roman said will be more involved this week (with an exclamation point!). Justice Hill, Kenyan Drake, and maybe Gus Edwards will split the backfield work, with none more than a desperation play until we see who is actually healthy and producing. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 14. [DET - D'Andre Swift's status in question](=) Source: DetroitLions.com Detroit Lions RB D'Andre Swift (ankle, shoulder) was limited during practice Friday, Oct. 21, and is listed as questionable for Week 7. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Keep an eye on this one. Lions coach Dan Campbell said Friday the third-year back has "done a little bit more every day" in practice. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 15. [DET - WR Josh Reynolds practicing Friday]( Source: DetroitLions.com - Tim Twentyman Detroit Lions WR [Josh Reynolds](=) (knee) returned to practice Friday, Oct. 21, after being listed as DNP for the first two practices of the week. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Reynolds could play this week, but missing the first two practices of the week coming out of a bye is still worrisome regarding the bigger picture with his knee issue. Reynolds will be a what the heck flex if he can go on Sunday. If not, Kalif Raymond could have some value. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 16. [NYG - Week 7 injury report for NY Giants]( Source: Giants.com New York Giants DB Cor'Dale Flott (calf), WR [Kenny Golladay](=) (knee), WR [Kadarius Toney](=) (hamstring) and LB Oshane Ximines (quad) did not practice all week and have been ruled out for Week 7 versus the Jacksonville Jaguars. LB Azeez Ojulari (calf) did not practice Friday, Oct. 21, and has also been ruled out. CB Jason Pinnock (ankle) and C Jon Feliciano (groin) were limited in practice Friday and are listed as questionable. RB [Saquon Barkley](=) (shoulder), OT Andrew Thomas (elbow) and S Xavier McKinney (non-injury) practiced in full Friday and have been removed from the injury report. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Barkley being removed from the injury report is reassuring. Rookie Wan'Dale Robinson should have a big opportunity this week after posting 3-37-1 on only 15 snaps last week. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 17. [PIT - TE Pat Freiermuth clears protocols](=) Source: NFL Network - Ian Rapoport Pittsburgh Steelers TE [Pat Freiermuth](=) (concussion) cleared concussion protocols and will play in Week 7. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Freiermuth is worth a start as your TE1 this week unless you have a slam dunk option like Travis Kelce or Mark Andrews.
