Week 7 Rankings<\/a> | Expert chat (noon-1 p.m. ET)<\/a><\/p>\n
What we’re watching for late<\/p>\n
Kyler Murray<\/a>, QB, ARI (foot): With a bye week up next for the Cardinals, Jacoby Brissett<\/a> is expected to take the snaps this week, allowing Murray more time to heal.<\/p>\n Zay Jones<\/a>, WR, ARI (knee): Marvin Harrison Jr<\/a>. (concussion) has been cleared to play, as has Michael Wilson<\/a> (foot).<\/p>\n Darnell Mooney<\/a>, WR, ATL (hamstring): Despite sitting out of Friday’s practice, the team appears to be optimistic about having Mooney in the huddle this weekend.<\/p>\n Brandon McManus<\/a>, K, GB (quad): He didn’t practice all week, so odds are good that Lucas Havrisik<\/a> will handle the kicking duties.<\/p>\n Josh Jacobs<\/a>, RB, GB (illness): He also had some calf issues later in the week, so be prepared to pivot. Emanuel Wilson<\/a> and Chris Brooks<\/a> would be next in line if Jacobs can’t go.<\/p>\n Hassan Haskins<\/a>, RB, LAC (chest): Even with Haskins at 100 percent last week, Kimani Vidal<\/a> got the ball a lot more in this backfield.<\/p>\n Zach Ertz<\/a>, TE, WAS (shoulder): Given the team’s WR woes, having an extra set of pass-catching hands would be nice for the Commanders. Still, the final decision may be made just before the inactives are announced.<\/p>\n Ruled out before Sunday<\/p>\n Emari Demercado<\/a>, RB, ARI (ankle): Bam Knight<\/a> (knee) and Michael Carter<\/a> will likely split Arizona’s RB workload.<\/p>\n Cairo Santos<\/a>, K, CHI (thigh): Jake Moody<\/a> will handle the kicking duties for the Bears.<\/p>\n David Njoku<\/a>, TE, CLE (knee): Harold Fannin Jr<\/a>. is likely to handle the majority of TE targets this week as Njoku sets his sights on a Week 8 return.<\/p>\n Christian Watson<\/a>, WR, GB (knee): Watson still needs more time. Romeo Doubs<\/a> and Matthew Golden<\/a> will start. Dontayvion Wicks<\/a> (ankle) is questionable.<\/p>\n Tyler Goodson<\/a>, RB, IND (groin): DJ Giddens<\/a> will be the one to spell Jonathan Taylor<\/a>.<\/p>\n Josh Downs<\/a>, WR, IND (concussion): Ashton Dulin<\/a> (chest) is also out, so Alec Pierce<\/a> might be pressed into a few more looks than usual. Adonai Mitchell<\/a> could get a chance to redeem himself.<\/p>\n Puka Nacua<\/a>, WR, LAR (ankle): Tutu Atwell<\/a> (hamstring) was not on the team’s final injury report for the week. Both he and Jordan Whittington<\/a> get fantasy value bumps in Nacua’s absence.<\/p>\n Darius Slayton<\/a>, WR, NYG (hamstring): Could we see the continued rise of Lil’Jordan Humphrey<\/a>?<\/p>\n Brock Purdy<\/a>, QB, SF (toe): Mac Jones<\/a> (knee\/oblique) is banged up, but able to start. He will have George Kittle<\/a> (hamstring) to throw to as the tight end has been activated from IR.<\/p>\n Ricky Pearsall<\/a>, WR, SF (knee): Jauan Jennings<\/a> (multiple injuries) and Jordan Watkins<\/a> (calf) were both removed from the team’s final injury report.<\/p>\n Calvin Ridley<\/a>, WR, TEN (hamstring): Bryce Oliver<\/a> (knee) is also out. Expect Van Jefferson<\/a> and Elic Ayomanor<\/a> to handle whatever downfield passes the Titans decide to let Cam Ward<\/a> throw.<\/p>\n Terry McLaurin<\/a>, WR, WAS (quad): With Deebo Samuel<\/a> (heel) also sitting this one out, it’s down to the trio of Chris Moore<\/a>, Luke McCaffrey<\/a> and Jaylin Lane<\/a>.<\/p>\n What we were watching for early The Los Angeles Rams<\/a> and Jacksonville Jaguars<\/a> square off at Wembley Stadium in London, with a 9:30 a.m. ET kickoff time. Inactives for this game came out at around 8 a.m. ET, with no surprises.<\/p>\n Active for today’s game<\/p>\n Jalen Coker<\/a>, WR, CAR (quad): Coker is active and will be seeing his first action of the season. However, he’s almost assuredly to lag behind both Xavier Legette<\/a> and Tetairoa McMillan<\/a> in terms of targets in today’s game.<\/p>\n D’Andre Swift<\/a>, RB, CHI (groin): He was downgraded as the week wore on but was still claiming that he would be ready to play on Sunday — and indeed, he is active. Additionally, Travis Homer<\/a> (calf) practiced fully all week and has been activated from the IR.<\/p>\n Stefon Diggs<\/a>, WR, NE (chest): He revved up to a full practice by Friday, so we are not surprised to see that Diggs is indeed active for today’s game.<\/p>\n Ruled inactive for today’s game<\/p>\n Brock Bowers<\/a>, TE, LV (knee): He practiced a bit on Friday, but it was not enough for him to be able to dress on Sunday. He’s inactive. Michael Mayer<\/a> is more than capable of stepping up.<\/p>\n Jakobi Meyers<\/a>, WR, LV (knee): He also saw limited practice on Friday and the game-time call went to the side of him being inactive. With him sitting, Tre Tucker<\/a> gets a boost in fantasy value.<\/p>\n J.J. McCarthy<\/a>, QB, MIN (ankle): Carson Wentz<\/a> will start again for the Vikings. McCarthy is inactive but has been named as the emergency quarterback. Max Brosmer<\/a> will be the No. 2 QB for Minnesota. <\/p>\n Garrett Wilson<\/a>, WR, NYJ (knee): Josh Reynolds<\/a> (hip) was not on the Jets’ final injury report of the week, so it looks like he might be the team’s No. 1 WR for Week 7. Wilson, as expected, is inactive.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Oct 19, 2025, 12:45 PM ET Whom should you start? Whom should you sit?
