Steelers TE Pat Freiermuth (concussion) put in a full week of practice and isn’t listed on the final injury report. He’ll be back for Sunday night’s game vs. the Dolphins’ 27th-ranked TE defense.
Broncos QB Russell Wilson (hamstring) remained limited in Thursday's practice. We'll see what he does on Friday and how he's listed on the final injury report.
Steelers TE Pat Freiermuth (concussion) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice. Barring a setback, he should return for Sunday night's game vs. Miami's 27th-ranked TE defense.
Broncos QB Russell Wilson is "optimistic" that he'll be able to play vs. the Jets on Sunday, according to The Athletic's Nick Kosmider. “I feel better every day," Wilson said Wednesday. "I heal quick." We'll monitor Wilson's status over the next few days, but hopefully you don't need to use him in a Week 7 fantasy lineup.
Broncos QB Russell Wilson is considered "day-to-day" with his hamstring injury, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. It's good news relative to today's earlier report that the injury was "fairly significant," but Wilson still seems uncertain for Sunday's game vs. the Jets. We'll keep a close eye on him over the next few days. Wilson has disappointed so far, but backup QB Brett Rypien would be a significant downgrade for the offense.
Broncos QB Russell Wilson's hamstring injury could be "fairly significant," NFL Network's Tom Pelissero said Tuesday. Wilson is getting an MRI to get a better look at the damage, but it sounds like his status for at least Week 7 is in question. QB Brett Rypien is Denver's backup. We'll pass along an update on Wilson when we get one.
Chargers WR Mike Williams caught only 2 of 6 targets for 17 yards in Week 6. CB Patrick Surtain shadowed Williams for most of the night, and that matchup proved difficult for the veteran WR. This dud followed 2 straight outings of 120+ yards, but of course, it’s not totally out of character. Williams posted games of 10 and 15 yards over the first 3 weeks. Keenan Allen (hamstring) should return over the next week or so, helping keep Williams’ boom-or-bust profile intact. Sunday turns up a bounce-back spot vs. Seattle.
Broncos HC Nathaniel Hackett revealed after Monday night's OT loss to the Chargers that QB Russell Wilson hurt a hamstring in the 2nd half, according to ESPN's Jeff Legwold. Wilson got treatment after the game and will have further testing on the issue today. Week 7 holds a Sunday home date with the Jets.
Rams HC Sean McVay said Monday that he expects to get WR Van Jefferson back after the Week 7 bye. Jefferson has been sidelined since undergoing knee surgery in early August. The Rams desperately need his deep speed. Jefferson averaged 16.0 yards per catch on a 13.5-yard average depth of target last season. None of the Rams' current top 3 WRs (Cooper Kupp, Allen Robinson, Ben Skowronek) are averaging more than 10.8 yards per catch this year.
Steelers RB Najee Harris caught 1 of 2 Steelers TD passes in Sunday's win over the Buccaneers. That came on 1 of his 2 catches for 7 total yards. Harris added a mere 42 rushing yards on 14 carries (3.0 per attempt). He did, at least, work well ahead of rookie Jaylen Warren, who totaled just 2 touches for 2 yards (both on the ground). Harris gets a tough Miami run defense in Week 7 and then a tough-all-over Philly matchup in Week 8.
Broncos QB Russell Wilson (right shoulder) put in a full practice Friday. That’s good news for his status ahead of Monday night’s game. It’s tough to expect an uptick in his performance, though, which lagged ahead of the shoulder issue.
Steelers S Minkah Fitzpatrick (knee), CB Cameron Sutton (hamstring), CB Ahkello Witherspoon (hamstring) and CB Levi Wallace (concussion) are out for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers. S Terrell Edmunds has cleared the concussion protocol and is off the final injury report. He missed last week's game. All the missing CBs can obviously only be good news for Bucs QB Tom Brady and his wideouts.
Steelers TE Pat Freiermuth (concussion) is out for Sunday's game vs. the Bucs. He did get in limited practices this week, giving him a good chance to be cleared for Week 7. Freiermuth's absence this weekend leaves Zach Gentry as Pittsburgh's lead TE. You should be able to do better in season-long lineups.
Steelers RB Najee Harris said Friday that he just took a steel plate out of his shoe earlier this week. He'd been playing with that plate since suffering what was reported as a sprained Lisfranc in his left foot early in training camp. Harris said he now feels like he's back to 100%. We'll see if that means more volume and better efficiency going forward. But until we see it, Harris should be considered a low-upside RB2.
Broncos QB Russell Wilson (shoulder) got in a limited practice on Thursday -- 6 days removed from receiving an injection in his throwing shoulder. Wilson is expected to play vs. the Chargers on Monday night, but he'd be a shaky fantasy play.
Steelers TE Pat Freiermuth (concussion) got in a limited practice on Wednesday. He sustained his 3rd concussion in the past 11 months in last week's loss to the Bills, so we'd be a bit surprised if he was cleared in time for Sunday's game vs. the Bucs. But we'll continue to monitor his progress.
Eagles RB Boston Scott (ribs) is off the Week 6 injury report. So he'll be back for Sunday night's game vs. the Cowboys after missing the past 2 weeks. Scott averaged 3.3 carries and .3 targets over the season's first 3 games, so his return is just a slight knock to RB Miles Sanders' volume projection.
Broncos HC Nathaniel Hackett said Tuesday that QB Russell Wilson (shoulder) "should be ready to play” vs. the Chargers on Monday night. Wilson got an injection in his throwing shoulder on Friday to address a strained muscle. We'll keep an eye on his practice participation this week, but hopefully you don't need to use Wilson in Week 6 fantasy lineups.
Chargers WR Mike Williams drew 13 targets in Sunday's win over the Browns. That marked a 38.2% share of Justin Herbert pass attempts. He turned them into 10 catches for 134 yards. Williams' numbers topped his nearest teammates by 7 targets, 6 receptions and 101 yards. WR Keenan Allen remained out with his hamstring injury. That left WR Joshua Palmer to rank 2nd with 6 targets. DeAndre Carter slipped back to 3rd in playing time among Chargers wideouts and drew only 2 looks.
Steelers RB Najee Harris managed just 20 yards on his 11 carries (1.8 per rush) in Sunday's lopsided loss to the Bills. He added 3 receptions for 16 yards (5.3 per catch) among 4 targets. Harris got pulled for the 4th quarter in a game Pittsburgh lost 38-3. Week 6 presents another tough overall matchup with Tampa Bay, though none looks as tough as Buffalo right now.
