NFL Fantasy Football: Week 7 injury report

We are supplying information on the latest and most important injuries across the NFL and letting you know how it could affect your fantasy football team.

Quarterbacks

Ravens QB Joe Flacco is listed as questionable.

The Spin: Flacco was a full participant in practice and should be good to go for Sunday.

Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger is listed as out.

The Spin: Big Ben will be out this game and Landry Jones will get the start. It’s obviously a downgrade to a player like WR Antonio Brown. With that said, you can’t bench one of the best wide receivers in the game.

Cardinals QB Carson Palmer is listed as questionable.

The Spin: Palmer should be good for Sunday Night Football. However, he’s been underwhelming in 2016 (that’s being generous) and can’t be started against Seattle’s defense.

Running Backs

Lions RB Theo Riddick is listed as out.

The Spin: With Riddick out, it’s hard to trust anyone in the Lions backfield.

Lions RB Dwayne Washington is listed as questionable.

The Spin: The rookie should be playing in this game but is hard to trust him in fantasy lineups.

Raiders RB Latavius Murray is listed as questionable.

The Spin: Murray should return after a two-game absence. With that said, his return makes the Raiders backfield a three-man committee. It’s probably best to steer clear of this situation.

Chiefs RB Jamaal Charles is listed as questionable.

The Spin: Charles experienced some swelling in his knee but he still could play on Sunday. Yet, Spencer Ware set season highs in carries (24) and rushing yards (131) last week despite the presence of Charles. As frustrating as it may be, Charles should remain on benches.

Bills RB LeSean McCoy is listed as questionable.

The Spin: McCoy is a true game-time decision but luckily for owners he plays at 1:00 p.m. EST. Call it a hunch but McCoy owners should be planning to be without him on Sunday.

Dolphins RB Arian Foster is listed as questionable.

The Spin: Foster practiced in full and should be available Sunday. How many touches he will get is another question. Jay Ajayi had over 200 rushing yards last week and should be given every opportunity to be the Dolphins starting running back. Foster needs to be on fantasy benches.

Buccaneers RB Doug Martin is listed as out.

The Spin: Martin was expected to be back but had a setback with his hamstring injury.

49ers RB Carlos Hyde is listed as out.

The Spin: He hurt his shoulder in last week’s game and will sit this one out. The 49ers have their bye week in Week 8 so owners will be without Hyde for two straight weeks.

Wide Receivers

Browns WR Terrelle Pryor is listed as questionable.

The Spin: Pryor is dealing with a hamstring injury and will be a game-time decision. The Browns play at 1:00 p.m. EST so owners will have time to make other arrangements if he’s out.

Redskins WR DeSean Jackson is listed as questionable.

The Spin: D-Jax is more likely to play than not. Still, you want to keep an eye on his status before the 1:00 p.m. EST kickoff.

Bills WR Robert Woods is listed as doubtful.

The Spin: He won’t be suiting up in this one. There are plenty of other WR3 options out on the waiver wire.

Ravens WR Steve Smith Sr. is listed as doubtful.

The Spin: Smith will miss his second straight game.

Ravens WR Kamar Aiken is listed as questionable.

The Spin: He practiced in full and will be good to go for Sunday. With Steve Smith out, he should see more snaps. Yet, outside of an unlikely touchdown, those snaps probably won’t mean much.

Vikings WR Stefon Diggs is listed as questionable.

The Spin: He practiced in full but keep in mind he hasn’t done much since Week 2. He should find his way in fantasy lineups but keep expectations tempered.

Chargers WR Travis Benjamin is listed as questionable.

The Spin: Benjamin should be playing in this one but it’s no sure thing. The Chargers play at 4:05 p.m. EST so owners need to have a plan B in place if he can’t go.

Cardinals WR John Brown is listed as doubtful.

The Spin: Brown shouldn’t have been in starting lineups anyways but in case he was, get him out.

Patriots WR Julian Edelman is listed as questionable.

The Spin: He’s playing and with Tom Brady back, he’s too good to bench despite his struggles this season.

Tight Ends

Bengals TE Tyler Eifert is listed as questionable.

The Spin: He could make his 2016 debut this week but he can’t be trusted in fantasy lineups. Even if he is active, he will only play limited snaps.

Redskins TE Jordan Reed is listed as out.

The Spin: Reed is still dealing with concussion symptoms and will miss this game.

Lions TE Eric Ebron is listed as out.

The Spin: Detroit’s starting TE will miss his third straight game. He can safely be dropped in 10-12 team leagues.

Jaguars TE Julius Thomas is listed as questionable.

The Spin: Thomas will be a game-time decision. He plays at 1:00 p.m. EST so owners will have time to make adjustments if he can’t go.

Bills TE Charles Clay is listed as questionable.

The Spin: Despite being listed as questionable, Clay is going to play in this one. He has 5 receptions in three straight games so he has some PPR appeal.

Patriots TE Martellus Bennett is listed as questionable.

The Spin: Don’t sweat it. He’s playing.

Colts TE Dwayne Allen is listed as out.

The Spin: The second-most productive fantasy tight end on the Colts will not suit up for this game.

DFS Nuggets

Jacquizz Rodgers will be the starting running back with Doug Martin out. The last time he was the starting running back for Tampa Bay, he had 35 total touches. Although he probably won’t get that many in this game, he should carry the load. He offers tremendous value.

Last week TE Vernon Davis had 50 yards and a touchdown with Jordan Reed out. This week he will get the start again in a potentially high-scoring game against the Lions.

Jack Doyle will be the Colts starting TE with Dwayne Allen out. Doyle has scored more fantasy points than Allen up to this point and it’s possible he does better with No.1 duties this week. He’s a very cheap option if you want to load up on other positions.

Even if Jamaal Charles suits up, Spencer Ware has a good chance for 18+ touches on Sunday. He’s playing against the Saints defense who can’t stop much of anything. Don’t be shocked if he finishes as a top-five FF RB this week.

If the Browns are without their best playmaker, Terrelle Pryor, the Bengals D/ST will make for an even better play.

If LeSean McCoy misses Sunday’s game against the Dolphins, Mike Gillislee will be the No.1 RB in an offense that loves to run the ball. He’s cheap and has a lot of upside.
