Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Michael Wilson (ankle) was listed as limited for a second straight practice. The Stanford product caught 2-of-4 targets for 21 yards and a touchdown in last weekend's loss to the Packers, participating on 95% (55) of the team's snaps. It's unknown when he picked up the ankle injury, but it's a boon to his status on Monday night that he's been at least limited to start the week. If Wilson can suit up, he would be in store for a busy day if rookie wideout Marvin Harrison Jr. (concussion) does not clear the league's protocol. However, the fourth-overall pick was able to ditch his non-contact jersey in Friday's practice, suggesting he's progressing through his recovery. Arizona's final practice report of the week will be one to monitor. If both wideouts are unavailable, Zay Jones, Greg Dortch, and Xavier Weaver will be in line for an uptick in snaps, with tight end Trey McBride likely the biggest benefactor of the depleted target competition.

Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott will go on the road to take on the division-rival New York Giants in Week 7. The veteran has started the season slow, missing both his tries from more than 50 yards and converting just six field goals all year. The Eagles' aggressive offense in plus territory has stifled Elliott's fantasy managers at every turn so far this season, but because the offense can find its way into scoring territory often, he remains on the streaming radar in plus matchups. With the Giants ranking middle of the pack against fantasy kickers this season, Elliott should be considered a boom or bust streamer in Week 7.

Houston Texans wide receiver Robert Woods (foot) has been ruled out for the team's Week 7 matchup against the Green Bay Packers. It's no surprise to see Woods designated as inactive as he has yet to practice since injuring his foot during a punt return in the team's 23-20 win over the Buffalo Bills. The 32-year-old was expected to compete for snaps in the absence of wideout Nico Collins (hamstring), but Houston will now roll into Sunday's outing down two pass-catching weapons. With them unavailable, the primary wideouts for quarterback C.J. Stroud are projected to be Stefon Diggs, Tank Dell, and Xavier Hutchinson, with John Metchie III and Steven Sims mixing in.

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith will go on the road and face the rival New York Giants in Week 7. The 25-year-old saw his lowest target share of the season last week against the Cleveland Browns but turned four targets into three receptions for 64 yards and a long touchdown grab. The return of A.J. Brown from a hamstring injury that he suffered in Week 1 played a role in Smith seeing fewer targets, but with starting tight end Dallas Goedert (hamstring) now ruled out, the former Heisman winner should see an increase in usage this week. The Giants are middle of the pack in fantasy points allowed to wide receivers but will have their hands full stopping Brown and their former starting back Saquon Barkley. Consider Smith a high-end WR2 in Week 7.

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Grant Calcaterra will go on the road to take on the division-rival New York Giants in Week 7. The 25-year-old solidified himself as the No. 2 tight end on the depth chart this past offseason and has had some involvement even with Dallas Goedert (hamstring) on the field. However, with Goedert out this week, and potentially many more, the third-year tight end is in line to start for the first time in his career. The matchup could be better, as the Giants allow the eight-fewest fantasy points per game to the position. With that said, quarterback Jalen Hurts has almost always involved his tight end, even when Jack Stoll was the backup last season. Calcaterra has a shot to see five or more targets this week and is a streaming option for those struggling to find consistency at the position.

Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley returns home to face the team that made him a first-round draft selection in 2018, the New York Giants, in Week 7. The 27-year-old will look to keep his strong season rolling against his former team, who currently allow the 11th fewest fantasy points per game to running backs through six weeks. Barkley posted a season-low 54 total yards last week against the Cleveland Browns, but he still amassed 20 opportunities and will assuredly be given a strong workload against his former squad. While expectations may need to be managed due to the matchup, fantasy managers should have no worries firing up the former Giants starting back in this "revenge game".

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown will go on the road to take on the division-rival New York Giants in Week 7. The 27-year-old returned to the field for the first time since injuring his hamstring in Week 1 last week against the Browns and proceeded to gain 116 yards on six receptions and score a touchdown. It was a complete return to form for Brown and he will look to parlay that success into another big performance against the Giants, who are close to the middle of the pack in fantasy points allowed to the position. With starting tight end Dallas Goedert (hamstring) ruled out, the ball could be force-fed even more to the star receiver this weekend, and he should be considered a must-start in all formats.

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts will go on the road to take on the division rival New York Giants in Week 7. The 26-year-old looked much better last week coming out of the bye week and getting back his top two receivers, tallying 297 yards, two touchdowns, and most importantly zero turnovers. The Eagles offense currently has injuries to deal with as star left tackle Jordan Mailata (hamstring) and starting tight end Dallas Goedert (hamstring) are out this week with the former being placed on injured reserve. This is unfortunate for Hurts but does not move the needle much on his fantasy value overall. The Giants' defense has been solid this season for fantasy purposes, but the most points they give up go to the quarterback position, where they rank 13th in fantasy points allowed. After a strong showing last week, fantasy managers can fire up the Eagles starter with confidence as a top-five option at the position in Week 7.

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba enters the Seahawks' Week 7 matchup against the Atlanta Falcons coming off of three straight games with double-digit fantasy points. While that is nothing to write home about, he has earned 28 targets over that time span. Smith-Njigba's target volume has been huge as the Seahawks have to throw to keep up in games. Fellow wide receiver DK Metcalf is entrenched as the No. 1 option in this offense and Tyler Lockett continues to play a possession role. Given the Seahawks' passing volume, there is room for another player to step into a huge role alongside Metcalf. With Smith-Njigba receiving ridiculous target volume, it feels like it is only a matter of time before that translates to great fantasy success. This Week 7 matchup against the Falcons is not scary. Atlanta is No. 21 against opposing wide receivers in fantasy in 2024. This game should be a high-scoring affair giving Smith-Njigba a safe floor and a potentially high ceiling.

Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson is coming off his best game of the season in Week 6, rushing 15 times for 95 yards and two scores while adding three catches for 10 yards. The second-year pro is averaging 4.6 yards per carry this season, although he's been even more efficient the last two weeks, boasting 5.8 YPC. In Week 7, the 22-year-old will face a Seahawks defense allowing 5.0 YPC, tied for fourth-worst in the NFL. Seattle was gashed on the ground by Jordan Mason last week (9-73) and couldn't stop Isaac Guerendo (10-99) either, who had just 12 career carries coming into the game. Conditions will be pristine playing inside the dome in Atlanta and this matchup has one of the highest projected totals (51) in what should be a competitive game, so lock Robinson in as an RB1 with a strong probability of finishing in the top five in fantasy scoring at RB this week.

Arizona Cardinals rookie wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. (concussion) shed his non-contact jersey and upgraded to a full practice participant on Friday after he was limited on Thursday. Harrison is still working his way through the league's concussion protocol and needs to gain clearance from an independent neurologist before being allowed to play on Monday night against the Los Angeles Chargers, but the 22-year-old fourth overall pick is clearly making progress. The young receiver suffered a concussion in the Week 6 loss to the Green Bay Packers last Sunday and was quickly ruled out, leaving his fantasy managers with a donut. If he's cleared from the protocol on Saturday, fantasy managers should lock him into all starting lineups, even in a difficult matchup against LA. If he's unable to play, Greg Dortch could be a sneaky flex play this weekend with Michael Wilson (ankle) also banged up.

Carolina Panthers head coach Dave Canales said that wide receiver Diontae Johnson (ankle, hamstring, ribs) was "limited" on Friday's injury report with hamstring and ribs injuries, in addition to an ankle injury that he's dealt with the last two weeks. Johnson is officially considered questionable to play on Sunday in Week 7 against the hosting Washington Commanders. Canales said that Johnson "looked good" and was "moving around quickly" on Friday before his rib injury popped up. It still seems like the 28-year-old is on the right side of questionable this weekend, but his status is one to monitor going into Saturday, especially with Carolina playing in the later slate on Sunday. Johnson has been a must-start in fantasy with Andy Dalton at QB. If Johnson were to miss the Week 7 contest, rookie Xavier Legette would operate as the WR1, with Jonathan Mingo and rookie Jalen Coker seeing bigger roles.

Las Vegas Raiders running back Zamir White (groin), who has missed the last two games with a groin ailment, was able to upgrade to a full practice on Friday, but he's still listed as questionable to play in Week 7 versus the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday. White put in limited showings on both Wednesday and Thursday. The full practice session on Friday would seem to indicate that the 25-year-old is on the right side of questionable. However, in terms of fantasy, managers won't be in any kind of rush to throw the ineffective RB back into starting lineups this weekend if he's active on Sunday. The Raiders play in the later window on Sunday as well, making White even less attractive as a fantasy starter. If White is active, he will most likely share backfield work with Alexander Mattison, making him a low-upside RB3/flex, at best.

New Orleans Saints WR Equanimeous St. Brown reverted back to the practice squad Friday, Oct. 18, after being on the active roster for the Week 7 game.

Both San Francisco 49ers kickers Jake Moody (ankle) and Matthew Wright (back, shoulder) have officially been ruled out for Week 7 against the Kansas City Chiefs, and Wright is being placed on Injured Reserve, which will sideline him for at least the next four games. By then, the 49ers hopefully will have Moody back in the fold. With both Moody and Wright injured, Anders Carlson will be promoted from the practice squad to the active roster for starting kicking duties this Sunday against the Chiefs. Moody is missing a second straight game with a right high-ankle sprain. San Fran's offense typically makes most kickers fantasy relevant, but Carlson's inconsistent rookie season with the Packers should make those streaming at the position hesitant. The 26-year-old made 27 of his 33 field-goal tries last year in Green Bay and also missed five of his 39 extra-point tries.

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel Sr. (wrist) was removed from Friday's final Week 7 injury report and will play on Sunday in a Super Bowl rematch against the Kansas City Chiefs at Levi's Stadium. Samuel suffered a minor wrist injury in last Thursday night's win over the Seattle Seahawks and was able to shed his non-contact jersey for Friday's practice, clearing the way for him to play this weekend. With Jauan Jennings (hip) missing his first game of the year, the 28-year-old Samuel should have a safer fantasy floor. In the Super Bowl loss to KC, Samuel had only three receptions on 11 targets for 33 yards while carrying the ball three times for eight yards. He should have a bigger impact on this Sunday's game, and fantasy managers should treat him as a must-start, high-end WR2 as the Niners look to give the Chiefs their first loss of 2024.

Seattle Seahawks OT Stone Forsythe (hand), CB Tre Brown (ankle) and CB Riq Woolen (ankle) did not participate in practice Friday, Oct. 18, and have been ruled out for Week 7. S Jerrick Reed (knee) fully participated in practice but has been ruled out. RB Kenny McIntosh (foot), DT Byron Murphy II (hamstring), OG Anthony Bradford (toe), WR Laviska Shenault Jr. (back), C Connor Williams (chest), LB Boye Mafe (knee), DE Leonard Williams (knee) and S Julian Love (hamstring, quadriceps) fully participated in practice and are not on the injury report.

San Francisco 49ers first-round rookie wide receiver Ricky Pearsall (chest) was removed from the final injury report on Friday and will make his NFL debut in Week 7 on Sunday against the Kansas City Chiefs. The 49ers will need to officially activate Pearsall from the Non-Football Injury list on Saturday. Meanwhile, Jauan Jennings (hip) will be inactive. The 24-year-old Pearsall was shot in the chest during a robbery attempt just before the start of the regular season, so this will be his first game action of 2024. There's opportunity behind Brandon Aiyuk and Deebo Samuel against the Chiefs, but fantasy managers shouldn't expect Pearsall to have a big role on offense in his first game. Instead, Chris Conley is the favorite to see increased snaps in three-wide sets. Pearsall should eventually have a bigger role, but for now, he's only worth stashing in deep leagues and dynasty/keeper formats.

Arizona Cardinals LB Owen Pappoe (hip) and DE Darius Robinson (calf) did not participate in practice Friday, Oct. 18. OT Kelvin Beachum (hamstring), OG Evan Brown (ankle), DT Roy Lopez (ankle), CB Sean Murphy-Bunting (neck), LB Kyzir White (knee) and CB Garrett Wilson (groin) were limited during practice. OG Isaiah Adams (thumb), OT Christian Jones (ankle) and WR Zay Jones (hamstring) fully participated in practice.

From TheHuddle

Seattle Seahawks WR Tyler Lockett (knee) fully participated in practice Friday, Oct. 18, and is not on the injury report for Week 7.

Fantasy Spin: Lockett has been targeted at least six times in each of the last four games and picked up his first touchdown of the season last week. He should see a decent amount of targets again in Week 7 and can be a flex option in fantasy leagues.
