Cowboys TE Dalton Schultz (knee) was listed as a full participant in Wednesday's practice. He was a surprise inactive this past Sunday night but is evidently on track to play vs. the Lions this weekend. Schultz should get QB Dak Prescott back for that one, but we'd like to see him make it through a game healthy before getting him back in fantasy lineups.
Lions WRs D.J. Chark (ankle) and Josh Reynolds (knee) did not practice on Wednesday. It's a concern coming off the bye and has both guys looking iffy for this weekend's game vs. the Cowboys. We'll see if they're able to practice tomorrow.
Lions WR Amon-Ra St. Brown (ankle) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice. After being limited back in Week 5, St. Brown should be ready for his usual role in Sunday's game against the Cowboys.
Lions RB D'Andre Swift (ankle, shoulder) got in a limited practice on Wednesday. It'd have been nice to see a full practice coming off the bye, but Swift seems on track to return for this weekend's game vs. the Cowboys. He told reporters that he's "pushing toward" playing on Sunday. Check back for another update on his status.
Bengals WR Ja'Marr Chase (hip) was limited in Wednesday's practice. He seemed to make it out of last week's win over the Saints healthy, so this is likely more of a rest day. We'll get another update on Chase tomorrow.
Bucs WR Julio Jones (knee) remained sidelined on Wednesday. He hasn't played since Week 4 and is only worth stashing in deep fantasy leagues.
Bucs TE Cameron Brate (neck) did not practice on Wednesday. He seems unlikely to play vs. the Panthers this weekend after being carted off last week. Brate's absence would turn TE Cade Otton into a viable fantasy starter.
Ravens QB Lamar Jackson was limited on Wednesday and is on the injury report with a hip. We've heard nothing to suggest that this is a real issue, but we'll keep an eye on Jackson over the next few days.
Ravens RB J.K. Dobbins (knee) did not practice on Wednesday. His surgically repaired knee "tightened up" during last week's loss to the Giants, HC John Harbaugh said. We're not sure if that qualifies as a setback, but Dobbins' availability for this weekend's game vs. the Browns seems up in the air. His absence would leave the backfield to Kenyan Drake and Justice Hill, who put in a full practice on Wednesday with his hamstring injury.
Ravens WR Rashod Bateman (foot) got in a limited practice on Wednesday. That gives him a shot to return for this weekend's game vs. the Browns, but we'll see how he progresses over the next few days.
Ravens TE Mark Andrews did not practice on Wednesday and is on the injury report with a knee. There's been no word on an injury, so our guess is that this is more of a rest day. We'll get another update on Andrews tomorrow.
Cardinals K Matt Prater (hip) is listed as questionable for Thursday night's game vs. the Saints. He didn't practice all week, so we're not expecting him to play. Assuming that's the case, K Rodrigo Blankenship will be called up from the practice squad and kick against New Orleans.
Cardinals RB James Conner (ribs) is listed as questionable for Thursday night's game vs. the Saints. He didn't practice all week, so we'd be surprised if he played. RB Darrel Williams (knee) has been ruled out.
Cowboys HC Mike McCarthy says doctors have cleared QB Dak Prescott (thumb) to play, according to NFL Network's Jane Slater. The team plans for Prescott to throw 40-50 passes at Thursday's practice, and the QB appears on track to return Sunday against the Lions.
The Saints have ruled CB Marshon Lattimore (abdomen) out for Thursday night's game against the Cardinals. It'll be the 2nd straight game he has missed. CB Bradley Roby filled in against the Bengals and allowed a 129.5 passer rating on balls thrown his way, according to Pro Football Focus. Lattimore's absence is good news Arizona WR DeAndre Hopkins, who will make his season debut after serving a 6-game PED suspension.
Giants WRs Kadarius Toney (hamstring) and Kenny Golladay (knee) sat out practice Wednesday. Golladay has missed the past 2 games with his knee sprain, while Toney has lost 4 straight to hamstring issues. We'll see when -- or whether -- either guy factors back into this offense.
Panthers HC Steve Wilks said Wednesday that QB P.J. Walker will start Sunday's game against the Buccaneers. Walker threw for just 60 yards before leading the Week 6 loss with a neck issue. It doesn't sound like the team is concerned about that injury. The Panthers also designated QB Sam Darnold to return from IR Wednesday, though we'll see if he's ready for a spot on the active roster this week. Jacob Eason served as Walker's backup in Week 6.
Saints HC Dennis Allen said Wednesday that the team will wait until game time Thursday night to name the starting QB against the Cardinals. Both Jameis Winston (back, ankle) and Andy Dalton (back) have been limited in practice this week.
The Saints have ruled WR Michael Thomas (foot), WR Jarvis Landry (ankle) and TE Adam Trautman out for Thursday night's game against the Cardinals. WR Chris Olave, on the other hand, should be set to return after missing Week 6 with a concussion. Trautman's absence boosts TE Juwan Johnson, who garnered 6 targets Sunday with Trainman leaving early.
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.
