The Seattle Seahawks will have a running back active Sunday versus San Francisco, although whether it’s any of the trio of Chris Carson (foot), Carlos Hyde (hamstring), or Travis Homer (knee) remains to be seen. None of the aforementioned trio practiced in any capacity Thursday, furthering the notion that DeeJay Dallas may be heavily relied upon for the game versus the 49ers. Of the three,

Kansas City Chiefs defensive tackle Chris Jones (groin) was able to record a full practice session Thursday, a likely sign that he’ll ultimately be given the green light to play Sunday against the Jets. The Chiefs Defense was already in a golden spot even with Jones’ availability up in the air, but having the reigning Pro Bowler patrolling the line only enhances their value. Having

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver T.Y. Hilton has been unreliable so far this season, so it may be difficult to insert him in a fantasy lineup against the Lions this week. Philip Rivers threw the ball for over 370 yards in Week 6 against the Bengals, but Hilton caught just one pass for 11 yards. He has just one game all season with more than five

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Emmanuel Sanderswill be absent from Sunday’s contest versus Chicago, marking his second consecutive game out of the mix. Prior to hitting the COVID-19 list, Sanders reeled off his best performance of the year with a 12-catch, 122-yard outing versus the Chargers, with his absence creating an opening in the receiver ranks for the Saints. With Michael Thomas (ankle, hamstring) returning

Cleveland Browns running back Kareem Hunt (ribs) and wide receiver Jarvis Landry (hip, ribs) were both limited during practice Thursday, marking the second consecutive day that their workload was managed. Despite the limited practice time, there’s no reason to believe that either player is in danger of not suiting up Sunday against the Raiders for what should be an advantageous matchup for both. With Nick

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Jalen Reagor (thumb) is in line to play Sunday against Dallas, making his first appearance since Week 2. Reagor sustained a torn UCL in his right thumb, but is expected to revamp the team’s wide receiving corps after losing DeSean Jackson (ankle) to injured reserve. Taken with the team’s first-round selection in the 2020 NFL Draft, Reagor combined to make five

Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor will have a great opportunity to put up a good fantasy performance against the Lions this week. The Lions rank 30th against opposing running backs, and Taylor continues to improve on his yards per carry. The Lions Defense is giving up 4.5 yards per carry and have surrendered nine rushing touchdowns so far this season. Taylor is averaging 16

Green Bay Packers kicker Mason Crosby (calf, back) was held out of practice Thursday for the second consecutive day, which may force Green Bay to get creative Sunday against Minnesota at the kicking position. Crosby has been the team’s kicker for every game since Week 1 of the 2007 season, continuing to excel this year while going 9-for-9 on field-goal attempts. Special teams coach Shawn

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Philip Rivers will face off against the Lions in Week 8. Rivers is coming off his best performance of the season against the Bengals, but he will likely revert back to what he was prior to Week 6. The Lions Defense has actually been fairly good against the pass, currently ranking ninth against opposing quarterbacks. They are allowing less than two passing

Denver Broncos running back Phillip Lindsay (concussion) was able to practice in a limited capacity Thursday, leaving the door open that he could be cleared from the league’s concussion protocol in time to suit up Sunday against the Chargers. Lindsay has reclaimed his prior form over his last two games, having compiled 180 yards rushing on 32 carries. The return of Melvin Gordon III is

Indianapolis Colts linebacker Darius Leonard (groin) is moving in the right direction as it pertains to suiting up Sunday versus Detroit, as he was a full practice participant Thursday. Leonard has been out of the mix for the past two games due to a groin ailment, but the Colts Defense has still soared into elite company through its first six games. In the three full

Los Angeles Rams tight end Tyler Higbee (hand) was limited again at practice Thursday as he works his way back from a hand contusion that kept him out of the team’s game Monday. The short week may prove problematic for Higbee, with an early Sunday start time against Miami on the horizon. In his absence, Gerald Everett (illness) secured his first touchdown of 2020, but

New York Jets quarterback Sam Darnold (shoulder) was able to practice in full Thursday, an indication that he’s ready to play Sunday against Kansas City with no remaining injury concerns. Darnold was able to suit up last Sunday, but it led to a rocky 12-for-23 performance that included two interceptions. While the Jets’ offense is incrementally more reliable with Darnold under center as opposed to

Chicago Bears wide receiver Allen Robinson (concussion) and linebacker Khalil Mack (ankle) were both unable to suit up for practice Thursday ahead of Sunday’s game against New Orleans. Robinson is working his way through the league’s concussion protocol, which puts his status for Sunday heavily in jeopardy. Mack, who has been limited during practice for the vast majority of 2020, could be getting some extra

Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones (calf) was held out of practice for the second straight day on Thursday. Jones did not play last week in the win over the Texans, and it’s looking like he’ll miss his second straight game with the Packers medical staff being extra cautious. If you roster Jones, you should already be making plans to be without him this

Detroit Lions running back Adrian Peterson (abdomen) was limited in practice on Thursday. Peterson wasn’t listed on the injury report on Wednesday, so this is something to watch for the aging future Hall of Famer. He had 12 touches in the Week 7 win, carrying the ball 11 times for 29 yards. He also caught one pass for one yard. The 35-year-old veteran is still

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Rob Gronkowski (shoulder) was listed as a limited participant in practice on Thursday. This is probably more of a maintenance thing than anything for Gronk. His fantasy managers shouldn’t be too worried about him missing the Monday night game in Week 8 against the Giants. The G-Men have actually been somewhat stingy to the tight end position this year, allowing

New York Giants running back Devonta Freeman (ankle) did not take part in practice on Thursday. Freeman suffered an ankle injury in the Thursday night loss to the Eagles last week and is off to a bad start if he wants to play on Monday night against the Buccaneers in Week 8. Wayne Gallman worked as the primary running back after Freeman was injured last

Baltimore Ravens running back Mark Ingram II (ankle) and cornerback Jimmy Smith (Achilles) both missed practice on Thursday. It’s Ingram’s second straight missed practice after he suffered an ankle injury in Week 6. The Ravens had a bye last week, so the fact that he’s still not practicing doesn’t bode well for his availability in Week 8 against the Steelers. Don’t plan on having him

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas (ankle, hamstring) returned to practice on Thursday. Thomas still isn’t a lock to return to action for the first time since Week 1, but this is definitely a positive development for his chances of playing in Week 8 against the Bears. A return to a full practice would really ease the mind of Thomas’ fantasy managers, but either
