Cleveland Browns running back Nick Chubb (knee) is set to return in Week 7 against the division-rival Cincinnati Bengals this Sunday after more than 13 months away and two surgeries to fix his ACL, MCL and more in his left knee. Chubb said he feels "good" and is "ready to be back to help this team however I can" after being one of the league's best RBs since he entered the NFL in 2018. He ranks behind only Jamaal Charles in highest career average per rush for RBs, but head coach Kevin Stefanski cautioned there isn't an exact snap or touch total that the team has in mind for Chubb's return. The 28-year-old thus won't be in line to see 20-plus touches in his season debut, making him a pretty volatile and low-upside RB3/flex this weekend. Chubb's return from the PUP list essentially makes Jerome Ford (hamstring) unplayable in starting fantasy lineups.

Los Angeles Chargers wide receivers Ladd McConkey (hip), DJ Chark (groin) and Simi Fehoko (groin, shoulder) were all limited in practice on Thursday. In addition, Quentin Johnston (ankle) was a DNP, so LA's receiving corps is pretty banged up heading into a Monday night matchup against the Arizona Cardinals in Week 7. Chark returned to practice this week for the first time since landing on Injured Reserve before the season opener, but it's unclear if he'll be activated this weekend in order to make his 2024 debut against the Cardinals. Whenever the 28-year-old does return, he'll merely be fighting for targets behind Johnston, McConkey and Joshua Palmer. The rookie McConkey has been quarterback Justin Herbert's favorite target and has 19 catches for 219 yards and two TDs in his first five NFL games. If he's active, fantasy managers should treat him as a WR3/flex against the Cardinals.

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Quentin Johnston (ankle) was held out of the team's first practice of the week on Thursday due to an ankle injury that he suffered in the Week 6 win over the division-rival Denver Broncos. The Chargers wideout corps is pretty banged up heading into a Monday night tilt this week against the Arizona Cardinals, with rookie Ladd McConkey (hip) and Simi Fehoko (groin, shoulder) also on the Week 7 injury report. The 23-year-old Johnston should be considered questionable for now, although he has two more days to get back on the practice field. Johnston was a waiver-wire pickup after scoring three touchdowns in Weeks 2 and 3, but since then, he's caught only four passes for 31 yards in two contests. If he's active against Arizona, he'll be a touchdown-dependent WR5/flex in a run-first offense.

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Gabe Davis (knee) continues to put in limited practices, with his second straight limited showing this week on Thursday. Davis was also limited in practice last week before suiting up against the Chicago Bears and having the best game of the season, catching five of a season-high eight targets for 45 yards and his first two touchdowns of 2024. It could have been an even bigger day for the 25-year-old pass-catcher, but he dropped two more potential touchdowns. Fantasy managers shouldn't read too much into Davis' two-touchdown performance with the Jags in comeback mode for most of the contest against Chicago. He should be just fine to play this Sunday against the New England Patriots in London, where he should be considered a touchdown-dependent WR5/flex in what has been an inconsistent Jaguars offense.

Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Evan Engram (hamstring) put in a second straight limited practice this week on Thursday. Engram injured his hamstring during pre-game warmups in Week 2 and didn't return until last week's loss in London to the Chicago Bears. The 30-year-old returned with a bang, though, catching eight of 10 targets for 102 yards. The Jaguars are likely just being cautious keeping Engram limited in practice this week to ensure that he doesn't suffer a setback for a second straight London game this weekend against the New England Patriots. Fantasy managers should have Engram locked into their lineups as a surefire TE1 as the Jags go for their second win of the season. Even if Engram is listed as questionable on Friday's final injury report, we're pretty confident he'll be available against the Pats as he looks for an encore.

After a limited practice session on Wednesday, New York Giants wide receiver Wan'Dale Robinson (ankle) was able to practice in full on Thursday. It means that Robinson will likely be good to go for Week 7 on Sunday against the visiting division-rival Philadelphia Eagles. Rookie wideout Malik Nabers (concussion, hamstring) should be back after missing the last two games, but that shouldn't deter fantasy managers from using Robinson as an RB3/flex with upside, especially in point-per-reception formats. Believe it or not, Robinson heads into Week 7 action with the second-most targets among wideouts with 58, behind only Garrett Wilson. In the two games without Nabers the last two weeks, Robinson has 11 catches on 20 targets for 86 yards and a touchdown. He's been money for fantasy managers in PPR setups this year.

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Travis Etienne Jr. (hamstring) continues to be limited in practice. Etienne has put in back-to-back limited practices this week after being labeled week-to-week early in the week. He was injured again in the Week 6 loss to the Chicago Bears in London and is up in the air to face the New England Patriots in London this Sunday. Even if the 25-year-old is able to suit up this weekend, he'll most likely see limited touches alongside Tank Bigsby and D'Ernest Johnson, making him hard to trust for fantasy purposes. After Etienne departed last week's game, Johnson played 77% of the offensive snaps. Etienne hasn't been terrible in six games played in 2024, but Bigsby is getting more run and has been more efficient and explosive. Etienne's fantasy stock is trending down, and not just because of his injury.

From RotoBaller

New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton (groin) put in his second straight limited practice session this week on Thursday. Slayton is dealing with a groin issue but should be able to suit up this weekend to face the division-rival Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday. However, the impending return of rookie sensation Malik Nabers (concussion, hamstring) would make the 27-year-old Slayton less appealing as a flex play for fantasy managers for the third straight week. Slayton definitely took advantage of Nabers' absence the last two weeks, going for 14 receptions on 22 targets for 179 yards and a touchdown in Weeks 5 and 6. Before, he didn't go over three catches or 56 yards. If for some reason Slayton isn't able to play against the Eagles, Jalin Hyatt would likely serve as the WR3 for the G-Men behind Nabers and Wan'Dale Robinson.

From RotoBaller

New York Giants running back Devin Singletary (groin) was limited on Thursday in practice for the second straight day of the week. A groin injury has kept Singletary out for the last two weeks, but a return to a full practice on Friday could put him over the top to return this Sunday in a divisional matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles. In Singletary's absence, rookie Tyrone Tracy Jr. has been very impressive with 35 carries for 179 yards (5.11 yards per carry) and a touchdown while adding seven receptions for 58 yards. If Singletary is deemed ready to go this weekend, there's a good chance that he'll take a back seat to the electric rookie, making him a low-upside RB3/flex for fantasy managers. The 27-year-old has averaged a career-low 3.9 yards per carry on 56 totes in his first four games with the G-Men before getting hurt in Week 4 against the Dallas Cowboys.

From RotoBaller

Tennessee Titans quarterback Will Levis (shoulder) was able to get through a full practice session on Thursday. He was limited to open the week, but that doesn't seem to be cause for concern. It looks like Levis should be fully ready to go for the Week 7 matchup against the Buffalo Bills. It has been a less than ideal start to the season for Levis. He threw for less than 100 yards last week and has seven interceptions on the season. Fantasy managers in dynasty leagues should hold Levis and hope for better days to come. Everyone else should look for a better option at QB because Levis isn't a viable fantasy option to be started in any formats right now.

From RotoBaller

Tennessee Titans running back Tyjae Spears (hamstring) was absent during Thursday's practice session. This should come as little surprise after head coach Brian Callahan said Spears is currently considered as week-to-week. Spears picked up a hamstring injury last week that looks like it's going to cost him a few games. He has missed the first two practices this week and seems pretty safe to consider out for the Week 7 matchup against the Buffalo Bills. His absence should mean an increased workload for Tony Pollard. Third string back Julius Chestnut could be mixed in more, but Pollard is going to gain the most fantasy value in the absence of Spears.

From RotoBaller

New York Jets tight end Tyler Conklin (hip) remained a limited participant during Thursday's practice session. Conklin played through his hip issue last week, but gave a disappointing performance. He finished with one reception on two targets for 10 yards in the loss to the Buffalo Bills. Conklin has put together a few decent weeks, but is normally a non-factor in the offense. His role is likely going to shrink with Davante Adams joining the roster. Conklin is looking like a low-end TE2 if he's able to play against the Pittsburgh Steelers this weekend. Otherwise, Jeremy Ruckert could see more snaps, but he won't be on the fantasy radar.

From RotoBaller

New York Jets wide receiver Mike Williams (personal) was once again absent during Thursday's practice session. He was back with the organization, but Williams didn't suit up for practice. The assumption is that Williams is sitting out due to impending trade discussions. This comes a few days after quarterback Aaron Rodgers threw Williams under the bus. Williams is off to a slow start with 10 receptions for 145 yards and zero touchdowns through five games. His role on the team is only going to decrease with Davante Adams joining the roster. Williams should draw some interest from around the league ahead of the November 5 trade deadline. Fantasy managers who have Williams rostered should hold him for the moment in case he does still traded to a better situation.

New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers (ankle) was a full participant during Thursday's practice session. That is great news after Rodgers sat out of Wednesday's session. The veteran signal-caller played through an ankle issue during last week's loss to the Buffalo Bills. The fact Rodgers is back to full practice means he should be good to go for the Week 7 matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Rodgers is showing his age as he has looked lackluster early in the season. He threw for a season-high 294 yards last week, but remains a QB2 for a tough matchup against the Steelers defense.

From RotoBaller

New York Jets wide receiver Davante Adams (hamstring) was a full participant in practice on Thursday. This marks back-to-back days that Adams has been able to get through a full practice session. The superstar wideout hasn't played since Week 3 due to a hamstring issue. It appears a trade to the Jets has instantly fixed Adams' hamstring problems. He figures to immediately be a primary target for quarterback Aaron Rodgers in the passing game. He'll be competing for targets with Garrett Wilson, but fantasy managers shouldn't be too concerned about that. Adams should make his team debut against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 7. Fantasy managers should put Adams in the WR1 conversation for his first game with the Jets.

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson (oblique) practiced in full for the second straight day this week on Thursday. Richardson has missed the last two weeks due to an oblique injury he suffered in the Week 4 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers, but he's well on his way to taking back the starting gig under center from veteran Joe Flacco, who tossed five touchdowns and one interception in his two starts. Although Richardson looked shaky as a passer in his first four games before the injury, completing only 50.6% of his passes while tossing six interceptions and three touchdowns. The 22-year-old's rushing upside is undeniable, but injuries and his lack of accuracy are major concerns after he played in only four games in his rookie season in 2024. Richardson should be considered a low-end QB1/high-end QB2 in fantasy if he returns in Week 7.

From RotoBaller

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Alec Pierce (shoulder) was added to the Week 7 injury report on Thursday and was listed as a non-participant. Pierce could now be very much in danger of missing the upcoming game on Sunday versus the Miami Dolphins. The 24-year-old's practice status on Friday and designation on the final injury report will give us a better idea on his status. Pierce has had two 100-plus-yard games in 2024 and has three touchdowns as well, but he's also had a one-catch game and didn't haul in any of his four targets in the Week 6 win over the division-rival Tennessee Titans. With quarterback Anthony Richardson (oblique) expected to return this weekend, Pierce may be even more of a boom/bust flex option for fantasy managers if he plays. If Pierce is inactive, rookie Adonai Mitchell will have added opportunity in the passing attack.

From RotoBaller

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. (back) upgraded to a full practice session on Thursday after he was listed as a DNP on Wednesday. Pittman missed two practices last week before practicing in full on Friday and playing in the Week 6 win over the division-rival Tennessee Titans. The 27-year-old pass-catcher said after the win over the Titans that his back injury could still land him on Injured Reserve, but the fact that he's back to a full practice on Thursday likely means he'll be available again this Sunday against the Miami Dolphins. However, fantasy managers may want to temper expectations for Pittman after he played a season-low in offensive snaps last week. If not for a jump-ball touchdown, he would have disappointed with only three catches for 35 yards. Outside of a 100-yard game in Week 4, Pittman hasn't gone over 40 receiving yards in 2024.

From RotoBaller

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Tyler Lockett (knee) was added to the team's Week 7 injury report on Thursday after he missed practice with a knee injury. Mid-week additions to the injury report are usually never a good thing, so Lockett's status for the Week 7 contest against the Atlanta Falcons this Sunday is firmly up in the air. We'll have a better idea of how serious the 32-year-old's knee injury is based on his status on the final injury report on Friday. If Lockett is unavailable this weekend, second-year wideout Jaxon Smith-Njigba will basically become a must-start for fantasy managers in a game that could be a shootout in Atlanta. The emergence of Smith-Njigba has made Lockett more of a volatile, touchdown-dependent WR4/flex in fantasy on a weekly basis. Through six weeks in 2024, Lockett is the WR31 in half-PPR scoring.

From RotoBaller

Las Vegas Raiders running back Zamir White (groin) was limited in Thursday's practice session for the second straight day this week. White has been one of the bigger fantasy disappointments in 2024 for a Raiders offense that has tanked, especially after trading away All-Pro wideout Davante Adams this week. The 25-year-old White has missed the last two games due to his groin injury, which has allowed Alexander Mattison and Ameer Abdullah to take over the backfield. White should get his chances when he returns, but he might have already lost lead-back duties to Abdullah. In four games played, White is averaging a career-low 3.1 yards per carry and has not found the end zone. Even if White returns to action in Week 7 against the Los Angeles Rams, we wouldn't recommend him for starting fantasy lineups.
