San Francisco 49ers kickers Jake Moody (right ankle) and Matthew Wright (shoulder, back) were absent from Thursday's practice. As the Niners prepare to battle the Kansas City Chiefs next weekend, they could be without both of the kickers on their roster. Moody was injured in Week 5, and now his replacement, Wright, is on the injury report after getting banged up while making a tackle in Week 6. It's starting to look like both Moody and Wright will miss Week 7, which would force the 49ers to use their third kicker in three weeks. Presumably, that replacement option would be Anders Carlson, who went 27-for-33 on field goals and 34-for-39 on extra points with the Green Bay Packers in 2023.

Denver Broncos running back Javonte Williams went off in the team's 33-10 blowout victory over the hosting New Orleans Saints on Thursday Night Football, carrying the ball 14 times for a season-high 88 yards and his first two touchdowns of the year. He also caught all three of his targets for 23 yards. His first score was an eight-yard scamper in which he went untouched to the end zone. The 24-year-old had just one game of double-digit fantasy points coming into this one, but after his first career two-touchdown game, it's clear he's still the unquestioned lead back in Denver. Williams and the Broncos took care of business against a Saints defense that played uninspired football, and after this big game, fantasy managers will surely consider Williams for a starting lineup spot in another plus-plus matchup against the Carolina Panthers in Week 8.

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Ricky Pearsall (chest) remained a full participant in practice on Thursday. The rookie is recovering from a gunshot wound he suffered less than two months ago during an armed robbery attempt. He missed the first six games of the year on the non-football list but appears to be on the verge of being activated and making his NFL debut. Pearsall has one more practice to showcase that he's healthy and ready to go before the 49ers release their final injury report. Presumably, if he logs one more full practice, he'd be activated on Saturday and good to go on Sunday. There's a chance Pearsall could immediately step in as the 49ers' No. 3 receiver with Jauan Jennings (hip) trending in the wrong direction for Week 7 against the Kansas City Chiefs.

Houston Texans wide receiver Robert Woods (foot) remained sidelined during practice on Thursday. The veteran pass-catcher is trending toward missing his second consecutive game, but Friday's practice will provide some additional context and confirmation surrounding his status. Regardless of whether Woods enters the weekend listed as out, doubtful, or questionable, he's a non-factor in fantasy football and can be left on waivers in all leagues.

Denver Broncos rookie quarterback Bo Nix didn't score a touchdown and threw for only 164 yards on 16-for-26 passing, but he also ran the ball 10 times for a season-high 75 rushing yards in the 33-10 dismantling of the New Orleans Saints on Thursday Night Football on the road. Nix looked a little nervous early on and missed several wide-open receivers, but he was able to settle in and lead the Broncos to 30-plus points for the second time in the last three weeks. Denver's lockdown defense played a big role in that, but the 24-year-old first-rounder showed more progress and now has avoided turnovers in four of his last five games. There will continue to be ups and downs as Nix navigates his rookie season in the NFL, while his rushing ability is the strongest part of his game currently. Heading into a favorable Week 8 matchup against the Panthers, Nix will be a low-end QB2 with upside in fantasy.

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings (hip) was a non-participant in practice on Thursday. The 27-year-old is in jeopardy of missing Sunday's game against the Kansas City Chiefs, which could clear the way for Ricky Pearsall to operate as the Niners' No. 3 wide receiver in his potential NFL debut. Jennings has come back down to earth ever since his absurd showing in Week 3; since then, he's averaging 2.3 catches and 42.7 receiving yards without finding the end zone. Friday's injury report will provide some additional clarity on Jennings' status for this weekend against Kansas City.

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.

From RotoBaller

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.

From RotoBaller

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.

From RotoBaller

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.
