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 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.
