Derek Carr

NO Quarterback #4

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports there is “at least a chance” Derek Carr (oblique) returns to practice in Week 8.

Rapoport adds “a lot” would have to go right for Carr to be out there against the Chargers. Carr is missing his second consecutive game Thursday evening against the Broncos, and two weeks was considered the bare minimum time he would be out with his side issue. It’s already desperation time for the Saints’ season, so we have little doubt they will try to force the issue with their quarterback next week. We could get an informal practice report as early as Monday.
Cooper Kupp

LAR Wide Receiver #10

Cooper Kupp (ankle) remained “limited” on Thursday.

It would appear Kupp remained limited to individual drills. He still has a legitimate chance to return Sunday against the Raiders, but it’s possible the post-bye Rams are ramping Kupp up with an eye toward a full return in Week 8. We might not get a firm grip on Kupp’s Week 7 status with the release of Friday’s injury report. Fantasy managers who thought they were getting back their WR1 need to have a back-up plan ready.
Mike Williams

NYJ Wide Receiver #18

NFL Network’s Mike Garaflolo confirms the Jets are “trying to find a suitor” for Mike Williams.

Garafolo is just confirming the obvious as Williams barely practices this week due to “personal reasons.” Those reasons are he got under-bussed by Aaron Rodgers right as the Jets finally acquired Davante Adams. Having a rough year as he tried to earn Rodgers’ favor, Williams has at least appeared healthy. He will undoubtedly draw legit interest ahead of the Nov. 5 trade deadline, and should have a new home sooner rather than later, albeit one that is unlikely to make him WR4 relevant.
Marvin Harrison Jr.

ARI Wide Receiver #18

Marvin Harrison Jr. (concussion) was limited in Thursday’s practice.

MHJ remains in the protocol, but the limited practice means he is already progressing. Especially with the Cardinals getting an extra day between Weeks 6 and 7 since they are playing on Monday Night Football, Harrison now has a legitimate chance to return without missing any time. He will have an official game status by Saturday afternoon, and we should know his Week 7 situation by the time fantasy lineups start locking in at 1PM ET Sunday.
Rashid Shaheed

NO Wide Receiver #22

ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports Rashid Shaheed (knee) is expected to miss the remainder of the season.

It’s an unfortunate end to what was shaping up to be a promising season for Shaheed. Shaheed suffered a knee injury in the Saints Week 6 loss to the Buccaneers, but the team was holding out hope for a return later in the season following meniscus surgery. Instead, per Schefter, Shaheed is now looking at a “four-to-six month recovery.” The third-year receiver’s year ends with 20 catches for 349 yards and three touchdowns.
Malik Nabers

NYG Wide Receiver #1

Malik Nabers was listed on Thursday’s injury report with a groin injury

Nabers, who has been dealing with a concussion, was a full participant in Thursday’s practice but is now dealing with a groin injury. It’s encouraging that he was still listed as a full participant, but this now becomes something else to monitor heading into the weekend. Nabers also needs to clear concussion protocol to have a shot at playing, but Thursday’s practice suggests he’s on the verge of getting out of protocol before the weekend.
Malik Nabers

NYG Wide Receiver #1

Malik Naber (concussion) is expected to be a full participant in Thursday’s practice.

Nabers continues to advance through the league’s concussion protocol and looks on track to play in Week 7 against the Eagles. The star rookie has dominated in targets and currently leads all receivers in the league with a 38 percent target share. Assuming he’s active, Nabers will have high-end WR1 upside in his return.
Lucas Havrisik

BUF Kicker #39

Bills signed K Lucas Havrisik, formerly of the Rams.

The signing of Havrisik creates some added competition for Tyler Bass, who has converted on just 9-of-12 field goals this season and had a bad miss on an extra-point attempt in Monday night’s win over the Jets — it was the second extra point Bass missed this season. Havrisik has converted on 15-of-20 field goal attempts in his career, with two of his field goals coming from distances of 50-plus yards. We’ll see if Bass is with the team when they take the field in Week 7 against the Titans.
Nick Chubb

CLE Running Back #24

ESPN’s Daniel Oyefusi believes the Browns could be run-heavy in the coming weeks.

The possible return of Nick Chubb (knee) in Week 7 against the Bengals could prompt Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski to call a more balanced or run-first offense, Oyefusi said. The team’s shift to the run may have already begun: The Browns in Week 6 against the Eagles were 6 percent below their expected drop back rate. Oyefusi reports that Browns players “said after the game that running the ball, specifically the under-center zone runs that Stefanski has had success with, was a point of emphasis during preparation for Philadelphia.” A run-first approach would help hide struggling QB Deshaun Watson and hide the team’s new deficiencies among its pass catchers after dealing Amari Cooper to Buffalo. Chubb is probably weeks away from seeing a full workload, however.
Cooper Kupp

LAR Wide Receiver #10

Rams coach Sean McVay said Cooper Kupp (ankle) is “trending in the right direction.”

McVay was non-committal on Kupp’s availability for Week 7. Kupp did individual work on Wednesday but was held out of team drills, meaning he should be listed as a DNP on LA’s injury report. Kupp has been out since Week 2 and has struggled through injuries over the past three years. As desperate as the Rams are to get him back, they are going to be understandably cautious with his return. If he can’t suit up for Week 7, Jordan Whittington, Demarcus Robinson, and Tutu Atwell will be the Rams’ starting trio of receivers.
