The Saints have yet to announce a starting quarterback for the game, though some reports [suggest]( that Andy Dalton is likely to get the nod. - Jameis Winston, who has been out with a back injury, does not have an injury designation and will suit up — even if it’s just to backup Dalton. Dalton: Dalton has gone 1-2 as the Saints’ starter. He’s completed 63.1% of his passes for 585 yards, 3 touchdowns, and 1 interception on the season. Olave = WR1: Chris Olave (concussion) will return after a one-game absence. The rookie sensation should be busy, as Michael Thomas (foot) and Jarvis Landry (ankle) will not play. Hopkins: DeAndre Hopkins has served his six-game suspension and will make his season debut tonight. The 5x Pro Bowler could be heavily targeted with Marquise Brown (hamstring) out of action. - Robbie Anderson, who the Cardinals traded for on Tuesday, will play as well — though he is expected to be on a pitch count. Pressure On: Another poor performance by the Cardinals’ offense will likely force a playcalling change — so it will be interesting to see if Kliff Kingsbury has anything special up his sleeve. Image: Jordon Kelly/Icon Sportswire Dak [Dak Prescott] Dak Prescott fully cleared for Week 7 Details: Prescott (thumb) has gained full medical [clearance]( and is on track to start against the Lions on Sunday. - Prescott participated in a walkthrough practice yesterday and later conducted a 40-50 pass throwing session. Points Needed: Prescott will take over a Cowboys’ offense that is only averaging 18.3 points per game (23rd in the league). Gallup: Michael Gallup, who only averaged 2.7 catches per game with Cooper Rush at quarterback, should benefit from Prescott’s return. Nice Opportunity: The Lions’ defense is allowing the seventh-most passing yards (260.4) and third-most points per game (28.0) this season. More Cowboys News... - TE Dalton Schultz (knee) practiced in full on Wednesday. Like Gallup, he should see his targets increase with Prescott back under center. - WR James Washington (foot) is nearing his season debut. Image: Andy Lewis/Icon Sportswire Pickett [Kenny Pickett] Kenny Pickett (concussion) practiced in full Details: Pickett is still in the concussion protocol, but was listed as a [full]( participant in Wednesday's practice. - His participation puts him on track for the Steelers’ SNF matchup against the Dolphins. Stats: In three game appearances this season, Pickett has completed 66.3% of his passes for 514 yards, 1 touchdown, and 4 interceptions. Tomlin: Mike Tomlin has made it clear that Pickett will start if cleared. - Mitch Trubisky — who played very well in relief of Pickett last week — will start if Pickett isn’t cleared. Good News: Minkah Fitzpatrick (knee) and Pat Freiermuth (concussion) are trending toward playing against Miami as well. Odds: The Dolphins are favored over the Steelers by 7. Image: Shelley Lipton/Icon Sportswire Panthers [Sam Darnold] Sam Darnold returned to practice; PJ Walker will start against the Bucs Darnold: Darnold has been designated for return from IR and practiced on Wednesday for the [first time]( in almost eight weeks. - Darnold suffered a high ankle sprain in late August. Timetable: Darnold will not play on Sunday, but could make his return next week against the Falcons or the following week against the Bengals. His debut could coincide with the return of Baker Mayfield, who remains out with an ankle injury of his own. Last Year: The Panthers went 4-7 with Darnold as the starter last season. He completed 59.9% of his passes for 2,527 yards, 9 touchdowns, and 13 interceptions. Walker: HC Steve Wilks has named Walker the starter for Sunday’s game against the Bucs. - Walker completed 10-of-16 passes for 60 yards, no touchdowns, and no interceptions in Carolina’s loss to the Rams last week. Odds: The Bucs are favored over the Panthers by 11. Image: David J. Griffin/Icon Sportswire Swift [D'Andre Swift] De’Andre Swift “pushing” to play vs. Cowboys Details: Swift, who has missed two consecutive games with shoulder and ankle injuries, told reporters that he is "pushing towards" a return Sunday against the Cowboys. - Though acknowledged that his [shoulder]( is still giving him pain. Hot Start: In three game appearances this season, Swift has totaled 308 scrimmage yards (231 rushing, 77 receiving) and scored 3 touchdowns. He’s averaging an insane 8.6 yards per carry. St. Brown: While Swift’s status is still a bit murky, the Lions should get star receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown — who practiced fully on Wednesday — back against Dallas. - Like Swift, St. Brown has missed the Lions’ last two games. Playmakers Needed: The Lions were shut out by the Patriots last week and will need playmakers to keep pace with a Dallas team likely to have Dak Prescott back at quarterback. Odds: The Cowboys are 7-point favorites. Image: Steven King/Icon Sportswire MVP [Josh Allen] Josh Allen leads Jalen Hurts and Patrick Mahomes in MVP race Allen: Allen (+125 odds) has completed 67% of his passes for 1,980 yards (1st in the NFL), 17 touchdowns (tied for 1st in the NFL), and 4 interceptions. As a rusher, he’s totaled 257 yards and 2 touchdowns. - Allen had led the Bills to a 5-1 record and just picked up a head-to-head victory over Mahomes. Hurts: Hurts (+450 odds) has completed 66.8% of his passes for 1,514 yards, 6 touchdowns, and 2 interceptions. As a rusher, he’s totaled 293 yards and 6 touchdowns. - While Hurts doesn’t hold up to Allen statistically, he has led the Eagles to a perfect 6-0 record. Mahomes: Mahomes (+500 odds) has completed 65.9% of his passes for 1,736 yards, 17 touchdowns (tied for 1st in the NFL), and 4 interceptions. His loss to Allen will be held against him. Also in Contention: Lamar Jackson, Justin Herbert, and Joe Burrow round out the top six. Burrow, who got off to a slow start to begin the season, has picked it up over the last few weeks and could see his rise continue.
