The Notable Injured | Week 7
Mike Evans | WR, San Francisco 49ers (OUT)
Mike Evans has played through various injuries this season. However, the 49ers are one game away from a Week 8 bye, so he will sit out this one against the Falcons, nursing rib and Achilles injuries. With the 49ers already down Ricky Pearsall, De’Zhaun Stribling, and Deebo Samuel, San Francisco’s receiving corps is barren.
Mike Evans’ Achilles is intact but he will miss a little time, per @jenniferleechan.

The 49ers will likely deploy a rotation of veteran Brandin Cooks, Jacob Cowing, Jordan Watkins, and Christian Kirk, who is set to make his 49ers debut after returning from a calf injury. All of these players are desperation starts. It’s most likely that George Kittle feasts on National Tight End Day.
Lamar Jackson | QB, Baltimore Ravens (OUT)
Lamar Jackson practiced in a limited capacity all week. He has missed the past two games with a recently disclosed high ankle sprain and will now miss a third. With Jackson out, the Ravens’ offensive players will see a dip in production as the Ravens have mustered just 429 passing yards with Jackson sidelined. Baltimore turns to Tyler Huntley, who will start for the Ravens again, hoping to improve on his lackluster performance thus far.
David Montgomery | RB, Houston Texans (OUT)
David Montgomery will miss his second game with a groin injury. In his absence last week, Woody Marks saw a 78% snap share and finished as the RB22 on the week. Marks will continue to see the bulk of opportunities, especially since his running mate Jawhar Jordan, who saw two red-zone touches and scored a rushing touchdown last week, was placed on the practice squad Reserve/Injured list with a quadriceps injury. Passing-down specialist Dare Ogunbowale will likely spell Marks, but he remains off the fantasy radar.
Emeka Egbuka | WR, Tampa Bay Buccaneers (OUT)
Emeka Egbuka is coming off two consecutive 17-point PPR performances; however, he will miss the Buccaneers’ Week 7 matchup against the Panthers with a concussion and foot injury. Veteran Chris Godwin is set to be the focal point of the Bucs’ passing offense, with Baker Mayfield set to return from a thumb injury. Godwin makes for a strong FLEX play despite his poor results thus far. Rookie Ted Hurst is also in line for increased targets with Egbuka out.
Tyler Warren | TE, Indianapolis Colts (OUT)
Tyler Warren will miss his second straight game with a groin injury. In his absence last week, Keenan Allen saw 11 targets, and Josh Downs saw eight. Allen and Downs combined for 45% of the Colts’ targets last week. Look for both players to be featured again as the hapless Colts take on a tough Vikings defense this week.
Jeremiyah Love | RB, Arizona Cardinals (OUT)
First-round rookie Jeremiyah Love will miss his second straight game with an ankle injury. In his absence last week, Zonovan Knight and Tyler Allgeier combined for 37 total opportunities, with Allgeier seeing 20 and Knight seeing 17.
“He’s feeling better, but, kind of goes without saying, not gonna put him out there until he feels 100%.”

Both backs will likely continue to see a near-even split in backfield opportunities in a plus matchup against the Broncos.
Puka Nacua | WR, Los Angeles Rams (QUES)
Puka Nacua popped up mid-week on the injury report with a calf injury but is officially questionable for Week 7. With Davante Adams on IR with a ruptured hamstring, Nacua will likely try to suit up for the Rams, who are in dire need of a win. Konata Mumpfield will likely join Nacua in two-WR sets in Adams’ absence but remains off the fantasy radar.
Rashee Rice | WR, Kansas City Chiefs (OUT)
Rashee Rice will miss his second straight game as he deals with hamstring and knee ailments. Xavier Worthy saw seven targets in his absence last week and led the Chiefs in targets. Worthy will look to step up again, though the Chiefs’ offense runs through Kenneth Walker.
RB Quick Hitters
Brian Robinson | RB, Atlanta Falcons (OUT)
Bijan Robinson may never come off the field this week against the 49ers. However, if he does, practice squad call-up Khalil Herbert will serve as the breather back. He is a player to monitor on the wire if Brian Robinson takes some time to recover from his hamstring injury.
Jordan Mason | RB, Minnesota Vikings (ACTIVE)
Mason was activated from IR and is set to return from a thumb injury that sidelined him the past four weeks. He should hop right back into his role as the 1A to Aaron Jones’ 1B in the Vikings backfield. He makes for a solid RB2 flex play this week against the Colts.
Dylan Sampson | RB, Cleveland Browns (QUES)
Sampson may return from a knee injury that sidelined him since Week 1. If active, he will likely reclaim passing-down roles in the Browns’ offense. Teammate Quinshon Judkins will also return to action after missing one game as a result of a foot injury and serve as the Browns’ lead back.
Tyler Badie | RB, Denver Broncos (OUT)
Badie is out and will miss at least the next four games with a thumb injury. This will likely open up more opportunities for RJ Harvey. Teammate Jonah Coleman is questionable and may return after being activated from IR. Coleman finished as the RB9 the last time he was on the field and may continue to get more opportunities in the Broncos’ backfield as the season continues.
Mike Washington Jr.| RB, Las Vegas Raiders (QUES)
Washington did not practice the past two days and is trending in the wrong direction for Sunday. Nursing foot and back injuries, Washington was carving out a bigger role in the backfield behind Ashton Jeanty. However, if Washington is out, Jeanty will serve as the Raiders’ clear bell-cow back this week.
Zach Charbonnet | RB, Seattle Seahawks (OUT)
Charbonnet was activated from the PUP list and practiced this week with the Seahawks. He is not returning to action this week, but his impending return will complicate an already messy Seattle backfield.
