Week 7 Fantasy Football Injury Updates
*Injury glossary key:
- FP = Full Participant
- LP = Limited Participant
- DNP = Did Not Practice
CeeDee Lamb (WR – DAL)
CeeDee Lamb is playing. He’s a plug-and-play WR1. Re-injury risk is 15-20% for the next 2-4 weeks.
Josh Jacobs (RB – GB)
Data heavily favors Josh Jacobs playing; no dip in production projected.
Kyler Murray (QB – ARI)
Kyler Murray’s status is to be determined (TBD). The data favors him sitting. He is trending toward a Week 9 return (the Cardinals are on a bye in Week 8).
Brock Bowers (TE – LV)
Brock Bowes is likely out this week. With the Raiders on a bye in Week 8, I expect him to return in Week 9. Would start him when active, but data suggests a one to two week ramp-up and a 15% re-injury risk.
Bucky Irving (RB – TB)
Week 7 will mean Bucky Irving has missed three games. Not being placed on injured reserve (IR) typically means not missing four games; this suggests a week 8 return, which was most likely the initial plan.
Emeka Egbuka (WR – TB)
Data favors Emeka Egbuka missing Week 7 and Week 8. The Buccaneers are on bye in Week 9; suspect a Week 10 return and a rapid ramp-up.
George Kittle (TE – SF)
George Kittle would start in most formats if playing. High re-injury risk.
Brock Purdy (QB – SF)
Trending toward a Week 8 return.
Stefon Diggs (WR – NE)
Data strongly favors playing without any dip in production.
Garrett Wilson (WR – NYJ)
Suspect a mild PCL injury. Lean toward a Week 9 or Week 10 return.
Mike Evans (WR – TB)
Status is TBD. Lean toward him playing. Rapid ramp-up projected with a high re-injury risk.
Deebo Samuel (WR – WSH)
Status is TBD. Suspect heel bruise/aggravation. Lean toward sitting. Project sizable production dip if active.
Darnell Mooney (WR – ATL)
Status is TBD. Data favors sitting. Practice reports suggest a setback.
D’Andre Swift (RB – CHI)
Likely playing. Mild re-injury risk.
Christian Kirk (WR – HOU)
Status is TBD. High risk of sitting. Practice progression is a concern for possible re-aggravation of prior hamstring injury. Saturday practice pending.
Hassan Haskins (RB – TEN)
Data favors playing without a dip in production.
Jakobi Meyers (WR – LV)
Status is TBD. Data slightly favors playing (55%).
J.J. McCarthy (QB – MIN)
Likely sitting this week and returning in Week 8.
Landon Dickerson (OG – PHI)
Data strongly favors playing.
Jalen Carter (DT – PHI)
Status is TBD. Lean toward playing. Suspect that Jalen Carter is dealing with a heel bruise. Practice progression (FP > LP > LP) is concerning, but suggests he can play.
