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.

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.

San Francisco 49ers running back Jordan Mason (shoulder), who suffered a sprained AC joint in his left shoulder in the Week 6 win over the division-rival Seattle Seahawks last Thursday night, was taken off the final injury report on Friday and will play in Week 7 on Sunday against the Kansas City Chiefs in a Super Bowl rematch. The 25-year-old has been a must-start in fantasy lineups with Christian McCaffrey (Achilles) out all season, although he'll definitely carry more risk of an in-game setback this weekend. Rookie Isaac Guerendo filled in nicely and almost rushed for 100 yards after Mason left last Thursday, so the rookie could see a little more run to spell Mason against KC. But now that Mason has been officially cleared for Week 7, this is fantasy managers' cue to get him back into their starting lineups.

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings (hip) has been ruled out for Week 7 against the Kansas City Chiefs due to a hip injury, according to head coach Kyle Shanahan. Jennings was unable to practice at all this week and could also be in danger of missing next week's contest against the Dallas Cowboys on Oct. 27. Brandon Aiyuk and Deebo Samuel (wrist) will operate as the team's top two receivers, as usual, but with Jennings sidelined, look for rookies Ricky Pearsall (chest) and Jacob Cowing, Chris Conley and Ronnie Bell to battle it out for the WR3 role as the Niners look for revenge against KC in a Super Bowl rematch. None of those names are worth risking in a flex spot in fantasy lineups this weekend. If anything, Jenning's absence will raise the ceiling and floor of Aiyuk, Samuel and tight end George Kittle. In deep leagues or DFS, Conley might be the best flex gamble.

Tennessee Titans tight end Chigoziem Okonkwo faces the Buffalo Bills in a Week 7 AFC clash. In a down year for tight ends, the third-year pro out of Maryland sits at TE35 through five weeks, averaging 3.4 half-PPR points per game. Okonkwo tied a season high in receptions last week with three, but somehow was only able to produce a total of six yards. Buffalo ranks ninth-best in fantasy points allowed to tight ends on the season. There is absolutely nothing that points to Okonkwo being a viable play this week, other than maybe game script, but even with that potentially favoring the tight end, there are much better options out there.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Christian Watson (ankle) turned in three limited practices this week and was removed from the Packers' injury report. He should be all set to suit up for Green Bay's game against the Houston Texans in Week 7. Watson returned to the lineup in Week 6 following an ankle injury that kept him out of Week 5's game with the Rams. He led the team with 68 receiving yards, catching 3-of-4 targets, plus a touchdown grab that capped off his afternoon. Watson's ankle is clearly being managed a bit more despite him taking 60% of snaps and 72% of routes per dropback last week, so with the stiff competition with Jayden Reed, Christian Watson, Tucker Kraft, Dontayvion Wicks, and other pass-catchers for target, Watson will be in a tough spot to return consistent fantasy production each week. Still, as Watson is a big play waiting to happen, he should be considered a boom-or-bust WR3 with solid flex viability this week against the Texans.

Los Angeles Chargers LB Joey Bosa (hip), CB Kristian Fulton (hamstring), TE Hayden Hurst (groin) and CB Deane Leonard (hamstring) did not participate in practice Friday, Oct. 18. WR DJ Chark Jr. (groin), OT Trey Pipkins (shoulder) and CB Ja'Sir Taylor (leg) were limited during practice. TE Will Dissly (shoulder), WR Simi Fehoko (groin, shoulder) and OG Zion Johnson (ankle) fully participated in practice.

Seattle Seahawks tight end Noah Fant is coming off his best game of the season. In Week 6 against the San Francisco 49ers, Fant caught six passes for 63 yards. It was only Fant's second game of the season with double-digit fantasy points. In fact, it was only his second game of the season with more than 5.4 fantasy points. Fant enters the Seahawks' Week 7 matchup against the Atlanta Falcons with major question marks in fantasy football. While Fant could see solid target volume in a potentially high-scoring game, he could also fall to the back burner as the Seahawks continue to feature their talented wide receivers. Fant is likely already on your waivers and he should stay there. He would not be a consistent fantasy option unless multiple of the Seahawks' preferred weapons were to go down due to injury.

Seattle Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III has seen 21 targets over the last three games due to the Seahawks' absurd passing volume. The Seahawks have found themselves trailing quite a bit of late and Walker has greatly benefited in the receiving game. Walker has historically not been the Seahawks' preferred pass-catching running back. However, this new regime seems to be getting him the ball any way they can. He is already only 11 targets off his career high. Walker's receiving baseline has allowed him to keep producing RB1 numbers despite pedestrian rushing numbers. Walker has only rushed for 51 yards in the last two games combined and that does not necessarily project to change in Week 7. Seattle is visiting a potent Atlanta Falcons offense in Week 7 that should force them to put the ball in the air. Additionally, Atlanta is eighth against opposing running backs in fantasy in 2024. As long as Walker can keep up the target volume then he will continue to produce for fantasy. However, if the targets do not flow, then Walker is in danger of having a down game in Week 7.

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Calvin Ridley will take on the Buffalo Bills in Week 7 NFL action on Sunday. Ridley's ghastly performance in Week 6 set a new standard for this porous passing attack, as the veteran logged eight targets but did not record a single reception, with most of the targets classified as "uncatchable." The $92M receiver now has 141 receiving yards and nine catches through five games with Tennessee, both ranking outside the top 100 league-wide. His fantasy prospects are near rock-bottom at the moment with quarterback Will Levis struggling beyond all belief. Ridley will now face a Buffalo pass defense in Week 7 that is eighth-best at stopping opposing WRs. It's best to leave the Ridley on fantasy benches unless we see some kind of hope in this Titans passing attack.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Romeo Doubs will look to build off his return to the Packers' lineup last week in Green Bay's Week 7 tilt with the visiting Houston Texans. Doubs had his best game of the season in Week 6 against the Cardinals, posting three receptions for 49 yards and two touchdown grabs on the afternoon. Finishing as WR11 on the week, Doubs' fantasy scoring was a bit touchdown-heavy, but made the most of his limited grabs. As the lead Packers' receiver in terms of routes run, Doubs will be on the field more often than any other Packers receivers, but the fact remains that there is stiff competition with Jayden Reed, Christian Watson, Tucker Kraft, Dontayvion Wicks, and other pass-catchers for targets each week. Because of that, Doubs is a low-end WR3 for fantasy managers this week against the Texans, as this contest could be one of the higher-scoring games this weekend.
