Dolphins LB David Long (knee) is active for today’s game against the Colts. He remained limited throughout the practice week despite coming off a Week 6 bye. Long carries plenty of upside but also some risk for IDP lineups.
Browns LB Jordan Hicks is active for today’s game against the Bengals. It’ll mark his return after two games down, but Hicks finished the week with a full Friday practice. He should be fine for planned usage in IDP leagues.
Bills RB Ray Davis (calf) is active for today’s game vs. the Titans. He hurt his calf near the end of last week’s game and wound up questionable on the final injury report for this one. The rookie built momentum with a strong Week 6 showing. But between the calf issue and RB James Cook’s return today, we’d try not to use Davis in Week 7 fantasy lineups.
Falcons S Justin Simmons is active for today’s game against the Seahawks. A hamstring injury that rendered him questionable after just two limited practices this week adds risk. But there’s also upside to the matchup. Seattle has supplied more fantasy points to opponent DBs than any other offense.
Browns RB Nick Chubb (knee) is officially active for today’s game vs. the Bengals. It’ll be his first live action since his September 2023 multi-ligament knee injury. NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo reported this morning that Chubb is expected to get a “decent workload” – but that exactly how many carries he gets won’t be determined until the team sees how he’s feeling during the game. We’d try not to use Chubb in Week 7 fantasy lineups.
Titans CB L’Jarius Sneed is inactive for today’s game against the Bills. That’s not surprising after he missed practice with a quad injury all week. Missing their lead CB obviously hurts the Tennessee defense. Buffalo’s outside WRs stand to benefit. We’ll see exactly what playing time looks like among that group, though, in the first game after the Amari Cooper trade.
Colts WRs Josh Downs (toe), Michael Pittman (back), and Alec Pierce (shoulder) are active for today’s game vs. the Dolphins. We’re expecting them to play their usual roles as the team’s top three WRs. But their projections take significant hits with QB Anthony Richardson back at the helm. See where the Colts land in the Week 7 WR Rankings.
Vikings RB Aaron Jones (hamstring) is active for today’s game vs. the Lions. The hamstring adds some risk to his fantasy profile, and the matchup is tough against the league’s second-ranked RB defense. But Jones still sits 12th in the Week 7 RB Rankings, thanks largely to his strong pass-catching role.
Titans QB Will Levis (shoulder) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Bills. He might miss multiple games with a Grade 2 sprain of the AC joint in his right shoulder. QB Mason Rudolph gets the start today but isn’t a recommended fantasy play in any format. Hopefully he can at least be a slight upgrade over Levis for WRs DeAndre Hopkins and Calvin Ridley.
Seahawks RB Ken Walker (illness) is active for today’s game vs. the Falcons. He was added to the injury report on Saturday, but we’ve heard nothing about his workload being limited today. Walker remains a must start.
Packers WR Dontayvion Wicks (shoulder) is active for today’s game vs. the Texans. We wouldn’t use him in fantasy lineups coming off the shoulder injury, but Wicks’ presence makes WR Christian Watson a riskier start. Wicks was playing ahead of Watson early in last week’s game, before hurting his shoulder.
The Jets and Edge Haason Reddick have worked out an adjusted contract for the rest of 2024, and he'll report to the team Monday morning. That will finally end a holdout that has been going since the Eagles traded Reddick at the beginning of April.
Browns RB Nick Chubb is expected to get a "decent workload" in his return today vs. the Bengals, according to NFL Network's Mike Garafolo. The Browns have reportedly been impressed by Chubb's play since he got back on the field, but Garafolo notes that Chubb has only been taking contact for three weeks. "His workload is gonna be determined by how the game goes, how he looks," Garafolo adds. It sounds like the Browns don't even know how much work Chubb will be ready to handle in his first game in well over a year. That obviously makes him a risky fantasy bet, but managers in a bind can consider a flier on Chubb in today's plus matchup.
NFL Network's Mike Garafolo says Bills WR Amari Cooper "will rotate in with all the other WRs" vs. the Titans today. "So expect to see plenty of Cooper today," Garafolo adds. "Will it be as high of volume as he usually gets? Probably not." This is what we've been expecting in Cooper's Bills debut. He'd be a risky Week 7 fantasy start, especially against Tennessee's second-ranked WR defense.
Patriots RB Rhamondre Stevenson (foot) is active for today’s game vs. the Jaguars in London. He was a full participant in Friday’s practice, so we’re not expecting the foot to be a major issue. Stevenson is fine to get into Week 7 fantasy lineups as a fringe RB2. Jacksonville ranks 30th in adjusted fantasy points allowed to RBs.
Jaguars RB Travis Etienne (hamstring) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Patriots. His absence leaves the backfield to Tank Bigsby and D’Ernest Johnson. Bigsby should control early-down work but will lose passing-down snaps to Johnson. It leaves Bigsby as a risk/reward RB2 in an excellent spot with the Jags 6.5-point favorites against New England’s 22nd-ranked RB defense.
ESPN's Adam Schefter calls Rams WR Cooper Kupp (hamstring) "unlikely" to play vs. the Raiders today. "Rams still want to work out Kupp pre-game before making any decision about him," Schefter adds. We'll look for additional updates on Kupp, but he should be on fantasy benches for now. We won't get the Rams' inactives until a little before 3 pm ET. Schefter also confirms that WR Jordan Whittington (shoulder) is expected to play. He'll join Tutu Atwell and Demarcus Robinson as the Rams' top three WRs if Kupp is out.
Vikings RB Aaron Jones (hamstring) is expected to play vs. the Lions today, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports. Jones got in just two limited practices this week and is listed as questionable. He also draws Detroit's second-ranked RB defense, so he's not as strong a fantasy play as usual. Still, Jones checks in 12th in the Week 7 RB Rankings.
ESPN's Adam Schefter confirms that Chiefs WR JuJu Smith-Schuster (hamstring) is expected to play vs. the 49ers this afternoon. Smith-Schuster was added to Thursday's injury report with what HC Andy Reid called hamstring spasms. But he was able to get back on the practice field on Friday. JuJu is safe to keep in Week 7 fantasy lineups.
Colts WRs Josh Downs (toe), Michael Pittman (back), and Alec Pierce (shoulder) are all expected to play vs. the Dolphins today, per ESPN's Adam Schefter. All three guys are listed as questionable. With Anthony Richardson back under center, no Colt WR sits inside the top 40 of the Week 7 WR Rankings.
