NFL Network's Ian Rapoport says there's a "good chance" Cowboys QB Dak Prescott (thumb) returns for Week 7. "He's really progressing well," Rapoport adds. "He's as close as he's been ... But it is not a sure thing [he plays Week 7.] He still needs to work on grip and grip strength." We'll keep a close eye on Prescott's practice participation this coming week.
Giants WR Wan'Dale Robinson (knee) is expected to play vs. the Ravens today, per NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. It'll be the rookie's 1st action since the opener. We'd try not to use him in season-long fantasy lineups, but Robinson is an intriguing cheap DFS tournament play.
The Cardinals elevated RB Corey Clement from the practice squad to the active roster. He'll join Eno Benjamin and Keaontay Ingram in the backfield vs. the Seahawks today. Benjamin figures to lead the group in carries and targets and is the only viable fantasy play.
Rams RB Cam Akers won't be rejoining the team "if the situation continues as it has so far this season," NFL Network's Ian Rapoport writes. Akers has "philosophical and football-related differences" with HC Sean McVay, per Rapoport. Akers won't play against the Panthers today and is expected to draw significant trade interest. We'll see where this goes, but it sounds like we shouldn't expect Akers to be part of Los Angeles' backfield going forward. That leaves Darrell Henderson as the leader of what's been an abysmal running game so far. Malcolm Brown will be the #2 RB, with undrafted rookie Ronnie Rivers as the #3. Rapoport says Rivers "has impressed and should get carries." We'll see what the snap and touch split looks like vs. Carolina today.
The NFL will wait until Raiders WR Davante Adams' legal proceedings conclude before dishing out any discipline, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Adams has been charged with a city ordinance violation of assault for pushing a photographer to the ground after last Monday night's loss to the Chiefs. That means the situation is now part of the league's personal-conduct policy, so the league will wait until the case is resolved. Per Rapoport, Adams could be fined, suspended or both. His court date is scheduled for November 10.
The Browns aren't expected to play newly acquired LB Deion Jones against the Patriots today, according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. That clears the path for Jacob Phillips and Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah to continue leading the position in playing time. We'll look for more on Jones' expected role once he does take the field.
NFL Network's Ian Rapoport calls Patriots QB Mac Jones (ankle) "highly unlikely" to play vs. the Browns today. Jones was officially limited in all 3 practices this week and is listed as questionable. But he always seemed like a long shot to play just 3 weeks after suffering what looked like a significant high-ankle sprain. QB Bailey Zappe will make his 2nd career start today.
Vikings RB Alexander Mattison (shoulder) is expected to play vs. the Dolphins today, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Mattison is listed as questionable but should be ready for his usual #2 RB duties behind Dalvin Cook.
The Patriots will determine whether RB Damien Harris (hamstring) is active for today's game against the Browns after he works out pregame. "Playing would be a surprise, but not impossible," according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Even if he's active, we'd be wary of using Harris in any fantasy football formats.
Cowboys WR CeeDee Lamb (hip) is expected to play against the Eagles tonight, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. That's been the word from Cowboys camp throughout the week, as Lamb has dealt with some seemingly minor injuries. Check our Week 6 rankings to see whether he belongs in your fantasy football lineups.
Though he's listed as questionable for the Sunday night game against the Eagles, Cowboys QB Dak Prescott (thumb) won't play, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. He adds that the QB "still must improve to be ready to practice" Wednesday. We'll continue to track Prescott's progress. Cooper Rush gets his 5th straight start.
NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports that there's "optimism" Bengals WR Tee Higgins (ankle) will play today against the Saints but that the team wants to "make sure he's ready" during pre-game warmups. Higgins will carry some risk even if active after leaving last week's game early with the ankle aggravation. TE Hayden Hurst (groin) is expected to play through his questionable tag.
The Falcons expect TE Kyle Pitts to play today against the 49ers, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Pitts is dealing with a hamstring injury that cost him Week 5.
Rams WR Cooper Kupp (foot), TE Tyler Higbee (ankle) and DL Aaron Donald (foot) are all expected to play through their questionable tags today against the Panthers, according to multiple reports. All should be in fantasy football lineups, barring further word about playing-time limitations.
The Saints don’t expect WR Chris Olave (concussion) to play Sunday against the Bengals. That leaves New Orleans without its top 3 wideouts. Michael Thomas and Jarvis Landry have already been ruled out
Patriots WR Jakobi Meyers (knee) is expected to play Dunday against the Browns, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter. That’s not a surprise, given that Meyers played through the same issue last week
Jaguars WR Marvin Jones (hamstring) has been downgraded to out for Sunday's game vs. the Colts. He apparently hurt his hamstring in Friday's practice and might miss more time. His absence will elevate Jamal Agnew to the #3 WR role behind Christian Kirk and Zay Jones.
The Panthers are listening to trade offers for RB Christian McCaffrey, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports. But "a deal might not be easy to complete" because the Panthers are prepared to keep McCaffrey for 2023 "if they don't receiver a suitable offer," Schefter adds. Carolina has reportedly already declined 2 offers for McCaffrey. We'd consider a trade unlikely to happen but will track the situation through the November 1 trade deadline. If McCaffrey was dealt, the Panthers would be left with RBs D'Onta Foreman and Chuba Hubbard.
Broncos RB Melvin Gordon (neck, ribs) was limited in practice all week and is listed as questionable for Monday night's game vs. the Chargers. We haven't heard any concern about his availability for this one, but the injuries add some risk to his Week 6 fantasy profile. RBs Mike Boone and Latavius Murray figure to be active alongside Gordon on Monday.
Chargers K Dustin Hopkins (right quad) isn't listed on the final Week 6 injury report. He was a full participant on Saturday and looks safe to use in fantasy lineups vs. the Broncos on Monday night.
