Patriots RB Rhamondre Stevenson is a healthy scratch for today's game against the Jets. New England is going back to RB J.J. Taylor alongside RBs Damien Harris and Brandon Bolden. Stevenson's absence makes Harris a slightly safer fantasy play.
Titans WR Julio Jones (hamstring) is active for today’s game vs. the Chiefs. He got in limited practices on Thursday and Friday after aggravating that hamstring injury in Monday night’s win over the Bills. Jones is the ultimate risk/reward fantasy play today.
Jets RB Tevin Coleman (hamstring) is inactive for today’s game against the Patriots. He leaves a handful of touches behind for RBs Michael Carter and Ty Johnson.
Top Washington CB William Jackson III (knee) will be inactive for today's game against the Packers. That only enhances an already strong matchup for Packers WR Davante Adams.
NFL Network's Ian Rapoport hears that Giants RB Saquon Barkley (ankle) has an "outside chance" to return for next weekend's game vs. the Chiefs. Barkley will "likely" be back for Week 9's game vs. the Raiders, Rapoport adds. It's not a surprise after Barkley remained sidelined in practice all week. We'll see if he gets back on the field this coming week, but fantasy owners shouldn't plan on having him in Week 8 lineups.
Cowboys QB Dak Prescott (calf) remains on track to play vs. the Vikings next Sunday night, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Prescott will be held out of Monday's light workout but is expected to practice on Wednesday. "The team will monitor him closely to make sure he's moving like himself and not putting himself at risk of a relatively minor issue turning into something more," Rapoport adds. We'll keep a close eye on Prescott this coming week.
Washington QB Ryan Fitzpatrick (hip) is still "weeks away" from returning and not a lock to return at all this season, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Fitzpatrick's original timeline had him returning in late October, but it sounds like his recovery has gone slower than expected. Fitzpatrick is still on crutches, per Rapoport, and is expected to get another MRI on that hip this coming week. QB Taylor Heinicke will remain Washington's starter for the foreseeable future -- and potentially the rest of the season.
Washington RB Antonio Gibson is expected to play vs. the Packers today, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports. Gibson "has shown improvement and is feeling better lately" with the stress fracture in his shin, Schefter adds. Gibson remains a risky fantasy option today after being unable to finish last week's game.
Dolphins WR DeVante Parker (shoulder, hamstring) has "an uphill battle" to play against the Falcons today, per NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Parker was limited in practice all week and is listed as questionable. Parker should be on fantasy benches for now. We'll get Miami's inactives around 11:30 am ET.
Titans WR Julio Jones (hamstring) is expected to play against the Chiefs today, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Jones has plenty of upside in this likely shootout. But he's a risky fantasy play after being unable to make it through Monday night's win over the Bills
ESPN's Adam Schefter confirms that Chiefs WR Tyreek Hill (quad) will play vs. the Titans today. Like last week, Hill got in just 1 limited practice this week and is listed as questionable. But he played through this injury -- and produced -- in last Sunday's win over Washington.
ESPN's Adam Schefter confirms that Bears WR Allen Robinson (ankle) will play vs. the Bucs today. Robinson got in 2 limited practices this week and is listed as questionable, but there was never much doubt about his status after he played through this injury last week.
ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that Giants WRs Darius Slayton (hamstring) and John Ross (hamstring) are expected to play against the Panthers today, barring a setback in pregame warmups. WR Sterling Shepard, meanwhile, is a game-time decision with his hamstring injury. We'll get his status around 11:30 am ET, but Shepard will obviously come with elevated risk in fantasy lineups if he ends up active.
Giants TE Evan Engram (calf) is expected to play vs. the Panthers today, barring a setback in pregame warmups, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Engram seemingly aggravated his calf injury in Thursday's practice and then was limited on Friday. He's a risky Week 7 fantasy play.
Raiders TE Darren Waller (ankle) is expected to be a game-time decision for today's tilt with the Eagles, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports. Waller "strained his inner ankle and heel" in Friday's practice and doesn't "feel great," Schefter hears. Eagles-Raiders doesn't kick off until 4:05 pm ET, putting fantasy owners in a tough spot. If you're waiting on Waller, Raiders backup TE Foster Moreau, Cardinals TE Zach Ertz, Bucs TEs O.J. Howard and Cameron Brate, Bears TE Cole Kmet and Colts TE Mo Alie-Cox are potential fill-ins if Waller ends up inactive. Check out the Week 7 TE Rankings to see how we rank those guys.
Seahawks DE Darrell Taylor is officially questionable for Monday night’s game against the Saints with the neck injury that found him leaving Week 6 on a stretcher. Here’s what HC Pete Carroll had to say Saturday about Taylor’s outlook: “Let's just wait until we get all the way gametime and see if everything works out OK. I think he's doing really well, he's anxious to play and excited about that. I'll be surprised if he doesn't, but we'll just make sure.” Having the last kickoff of the week makes it tough to wait on a game-time decision. Let’s hope we get some indication Sunday on how Taylor’s neck responded to Saturday’s largest workload of the week.
Seahawks RB Alex Collins (groin) is listed as questionable for Monday night's game vs. the Saints. He only got in a limited practice on Saturday, but HC Pete Carroll said he'll play on Monday. "He looked good today so he's ready to go," Carroll said Saturday. "We were planning on giving him a break on the first day anyway, we just gave him one more just to bounce back and he looked fine, so he'll be part of the rotation." That "rotation" figures to include RB Rashaad Penny, who's expected to be activated from IR for this game. It's a murky backfield for fantasy purposes this week.
Saints WR Deonte Harris (hamstring) is out for Monday night's game vs. the Seahawks. Harris ranks 2nd among New Orleans WRs in both snaps and targets this season. His absence leaves the Saints with WRs Marquez Callaway, Kenny Stills, Lil'Jordan Humphrey and Ty Montgomery. We'll see if WR Tre'Quan Smith is activated from IR for Monday night.
Saints QB/TE Taysom Hill (concussion) is out for Monday night's game vs. the Seahawks. Hill has played 37% of New Orleans' offensive snaps this season -- 48 at WR, 27 at TE, 22 at QB and 12 in the backfield -- so it's a tangible loss for this offense. It's good news for QB Jameis Winston, though, who won't lose snaps to Hill this week.
Raiders TE Darren Waller is questionable for Sunday’s game with an ankle injury. The Raiders have a Week 8 bye, so we’ll see if the team opts to play it safe here. Vegas kicks off vs. Philadelphia at 4:05pm EST. Foster Moreau is Waller's direct backup and would become a viable plug-and-play for desperate fantasy managers.
