Giants RB Devin Singletary (groin) was limited in Wednesday's practice. He put in three limited practices last week before missing the Bengals game, so this doesn't necessarily tell us much about Singletary's status for Sunday's game vs. the Eagles. We'll see how he progresses over the next few days. Tyrone Tracy has rattled off RB18 and RB5 PPR finishes with Singletary out the past two weeks.
Eagles TE Dallas Goedert (hamstring) did not practice on Wednesday. Fantasy owners should not be counting on him to play vs. the Giants this weekend. Goedert's absence would leave Grant Calcaterra as Philadelphia's lead TE -- and an emergency fantasy option. He caught all four of his targets for 67 yards last week.
Vikings RB Aaron Jones did not practice on Wednesday. He's listed on the injury report with a hamstring, rather than the previously reported hip. "Aaron is going to progress throughout the week and hopefully has a chance to go on Sunday," HC Kevin O'Connell said. Jones is hoping to get back on the practice field on Thursday, according to ESPN's Kevin Seifert. We'll update his status again tomorrow. If Jones misses Sunday's game vs. the Lions, Ty Chandler would project to dominate backfield work.
Colts WRs Michael Pittman (back) and Josh Downs (toe) were held out of Wednesday's practice. Both guys played through their respective injuries last week and should be available for Sunday's game vs. the Dolphins. But we'll keep an eye on them the rest of the week.
Colts QB Anthony Richardson (oblique) was a full-go in practice on Wednesday. He'll start this weekend's game against the Dolphins barring a setback, HC Shane Steichen said earlier this week. Richardson will be a risk/reward QB1 option vs. a Miami squad ranked 16th in pass defense DVOA and 31st in run defense DVOA.
Colts RB Jonathan Taylor (ankle) remained sidelined for Wednesday's practice. HC Shane Steichen said before practice that Taylor is feeling "a lot better," but his status for this weekend's game vs. the Dolphins remains uncertain. RB Trey Sermon (knee) also missed practice on Wednesday. That left Tyler Goodson as Indianapolis' top healthy RB. He's worth stashing right now as we wait to see how this Colts backfield shakes out over the next few days.
Dolphins RB De'Von Achane (concussion) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice. Barring a setback, he'll be cleared to play vs. the Colts this weekend. Achane has struggled to 2.6 yards per carry in three games without QB Tua Tagovailoa, but this is a get-right spot against a Colts defense sitting 26th in adjusted fantasy points allowed to RBs.
Packers WR Dontayvion Wicks (shoulder) put in a limited practice on Wednesday. Insider Jordan Schultz reported earlier this week that Wicks was considered "week to week" with his shoulder injury, but it looks like he at least has a chance to suit up vs. the Texans this weekend. We'll track his progress over the next few days. Wicks shouldn't be part of your Week 7 fantasy plans, but his presence would make WR Christian Watson a shakier play.
Bills WR Khalil Shakir (ankle) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice. He registered a season-low 50% route rate in the Week 6 win over the Jets coming off the ankle injury, but it looks like he'll be back to full playing time vs. the Titans this weekend. Of course, Shakir now faces added target competition with the arrival of WR Amari Cooper
Bills RB James Cook (toe) was limited in Wednesday's practice. He seemed reasonably close to playing vs. the Jets on Monday night, so we're projecting Cook to return for Sunday's game vs. the Titans. We'll keep you updated on his status leading up to that one.
Jaguars RB Travis Etienne (hamstring) got in a limited practice on Wednesday. It's a surprise after he was unable to return to last week's game -- and gives him a chance to play vs. the Patriots on Sunday. We'll see how Etienne progresses over the next few days.
Patriots QB Drake Maye had an MRI on his knee after Wednesday's practice, according to The Boston Globe's Ben Volin. Maye was listed as a full participant on Wednesday, but the knee must have been bothering him enough to get it checked out. We'll see what that MRI reveals -- and what it means for Maye's availability for Sunday's game vs. the Jaguars. If he's unable to play, New England would turn back to QB Jacoby Brissett.
Patriots RB Rhamondre Stevenson (foot) remained sidelined for Wednesday's practice. HC Jerod Mayo said last week that Stevenson isn't dealing with a long-term injury, but he's certainly not a lock to be available for Sunday morning's game vs. the Jaguars in London. With Stevenson out last week, RB Antonio Gibson handled 13 carries and four targets but mustered just 43 total yards.
Saints TE Taysom Hill (rib) is listed as doubtful for Thursday night's game vs. the Broncos. He got back on the practice field this week but hasn't been cleared for game action. We'll see if he can make it back for Week 8. Alvin Kamara will continue to dominate backfield work for the Saints with Hill out.
Saints WR Rashid Shaheed is out for Thursday night's game vs. the Broncos and likely longer. HC Dennis Allen said Wednesday that Shaheed is set for surgery to repair a meniscus injury in his knee. There's a “chance” he lands on IR, Allen added. We'll look for further details on Shaheed's timeline for return, but expect him to at least miss Week 8. New Orleans' bye isn't until Week 12.
Saints WR Chris Olave (concussion) is out for Thursday night's game vs. the Broncos. He never had a realistic chance to clear protocol in just four days. Olave should be back for Week 8's game against the Chargers, but we'll track his progress next week.
Panthers WR Diontae Johnson (ankle) did not practice on Wednesday. Johnson has been playing through this ankle issue for two weeks and should be fine for Sunday's game vs. the Commanders. But we'll keep an eye on him over the next few days.
Giants WR Malik Nabers has made "good progress" in the concussion protocol, HC Brian Daboll said Wednesday. Nabers will practice in a non-contact jersey, so expect him to be listed as limited on the official injury report. Barring a setback, Nabers should be cleared in time to play vs. the Eagles this weekend. We'll keep you updated on his status.
New Jets WR Davante Adams is "planning" to play vs. the Steelers on Sunday night, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. We'll see if Adams' (alleged) hamstring injury impacts his practice week. Considering his long history with QB Aaron Rodgers, we'd expect his transition to a new team to be much smoother than it is for most WRs who move in-season. The matchup is tough against Pittsburgh's fourth-ranked WR defense, but Adams will certainly be startable for most fantasy teams.
The Packers signed K Brandon McManus to a one-year deal. ESPN's Adam Schefter confirms that McManus is expected to immediately replace K Brayden Narveson, who has made just 12 of 17 FGs this season. McManus sports a career 81.4% FG conversion rate, including 70.5% from 40+ yards. He'll be a fantasy factor on the high-scoring Packers.
