Packers RB Aaron Jones (hamstring) was limited in Wednesday's practice. He should be back for this weekend's game vs. the Broncos, but Jones would be much easier to trust in fantasy lineups if he gets in at least one full practice this week.
Seahawks RB Zach Charbonnet (hamstring) did not practice on Wednesday. It's the first we've heard of the issue, but the rookie's status for this weekend's game vs. the Cardinals is now uncertain. Charbonnet handled just two carries and two targets in last week's loss to the Bengals.
Steelers TE Pat Freiermuth (hamstring) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice. He's on track to return for this weekend's game against the Rams' 31st-ranked TE defense.
Steelers WR Diontae Johnson (hamstring) put in a full practice on Wednesday. It's confirmation that he'll be back in his usual role vs. the Rams this weekend. See where Johnson sits in the Week 7 WR Rankings.
Giants QB Daniel Jones (neck) got in a limited practice on Wednesday. It gives him a chance to return for this weekend's game vs. the Commanders. We'll keep tabs on his progress over the next few days.
Patriots TE Hunter Henry (ankle) did not practice on Wednesday. He got banged up vs. the Raiders last week but was able to return to that game. We're still tentatively expecting him to play against the Bills on Sunday, but we'll keep you updated on his status.
Bills TE Dalton Kincaid (concussion) was a full participant in practice on Wednesday. That puts him on track to return for this weekend's game vs. the Patriots. The rookie has averaged 4.3 targets, 3.8 catches, and 25 yards in four full games this season.
Colts WR Alec Pierce (shoulder) did not practice on Wednesday. Although a full-time player, Pierce has totaled just 11 catches on 22 targets through six games, so his absence vs. the Browns this weekend wouldn't have a major fantasy impact.
Colts TE Kylen Granson (concussion) did not practice on Wednesday. He's unlikely to be cleared in time for Sunday's game vs. the Browns. Granson leads Colts TEs in route rate (62%) and targets (26). His absence would free up work for TEs Andrew Ogletree, Will Mallory, and Mo-Alie Cox. But none of those guys would be bankable fantasy plays.
Browns RB Kareem Hunt (thigh) did not practice on Wednesday. It's the first we've heard of the issue. It's possible that this was more of a rest day for the veteran. Check back tomorrow for another update on Hunt.
Browns QB Deshaun Watson (shoulder) did not practice on Wednesday. He said earlier in the day that he was unsure if he'd make it back for this weekend's game vs. the Colts. Fantasy owners can't be counting on him.
Bears RB Roschon Johnson (concussion) did not practice on Wednesday. It's concerning that he hasn't made enough progress through the protocol to even get in a limited practice. We'll see if Johnson gets on the field tomorrow, but he seems iffy for this weekend's game vs. the Raiders. RB Travis Homer (hamstring) got in a limited practice on Wednesday after missing last week's game.
Bears QB Justin Fields (thumb) did not practice on Wednesday. The team has basically already ruled him out for Sunday's game vs. the Raiders, which leaves undrafted rookie QB Tyson Bagent as Chicago's likely starter.
Raiders QB Jimmy Garoppolo (back) did not practice on Wednesday. While he reportedly dodged a major injury in last week's game vs. the Patriots, Garoppolo doesn't seem particularly likely to play against the Bears this weekend. We'll see if he's able to get back on the practice field tomorrow.
Lions RBs David Montgomery (ribs) and Craig Reynolds (hamstring, toe) did not practice on Wednesday. Montgomery is not expected to play vs. the Ravens this weekend. This is the first we've heard of Reynolds' injuries, but his status for Sunday's game is now uncertain. RB Jahmyr Gibbs (hamstring) got in a limited practice on Wednesday after HC Dan Campbell said earlier this week that the rookie was trending toward returning for the Ravens game. We'll get another update on this banged-up backfield tomorrow.
Saints RB Jamaal Williams (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Thursday night's game vs. the Jaguars. He was limited in practice this week after going down with a hamstring injury back in Week 2. We'll see if Williams is able to play tomorrow, but he shouldn't be in fantasy lineups.
Saints TE Juwan Johnson (calf) is out for Thursday night's game vs. the Jaguars. TE Taysom Hill came out of nowhere last week to register a 65% route rate and career-high eight targets. We'd still try not to use him in season-long fantasy lineups, but he's an intriguing play in one-game DFS contests.
Jaguars WR Zay Jones (knee) has been ruled out for Thursday night's game vs. the Saints. WR Calvin Ridley, WR Christian Kirk, and TE Evan Engram will continue to handle the majority of Jacksonville targets.
Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence (knee) is listed as questionable for Thursday night's game vs. the Saints. He got in limited practices on Tuesday and Wednesday. Lawrence has expressed optimism about his availability for Thursday night, and we're expecting him to play. But between the knee issue and a difficult matchup, he sits lower than usual in the Week 7 QB Rankings.
Cardinals QB Kyler Murray (knee) will practice on Wednesday, HC Jonathan Gannon said. Gannon added that his QB is "full go." Murray is still highly unlikely to play vs. the Seahawks this weekend, but his 2023 debut should be more than 2-3 weeks away. We'll keep you updated on his status. Murray will be a QB2 out of the gate but could certainly re-join the QB1 ranks by the end of November.
