Anthony Richardson

IND Quarterback #5

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Anthony Richardson (oblique) is practicing in full for Week 7 against the Dolphins.

Shane Steichen has said repeatedly that Richardson is the Colts’ starter when healthy and he will play this week barring any setbacks. A full practice on Wednesday suggests he is back to full strength. Richardson’s accuracy issue and a lack of elite rushing output were already putting him on the edge of the QB1 ranks before the oblique injury. In his first game back, Richardson will sit at the top of the QB2 ranks.
Tyjae Spears

TEN Running Back #2

Tyjae Spears (hamstring) did not practice Wednesday.

Combined with head coach Brian Callahan calling him “week to week,” a DNP on Wednesday suggests Spears will not suit up in Week 7. Tony Pollard had already cemented himself as the top option in Tennessee’s backfield. Spears’ absence will put an elite workload on his plate. Pollard will sit near the top of the RB2 rankings if Spears is ruled out.
Brian Robinson Jr.

WAS Running Back #8

Brian Robinson (knee) practiced Wednesday.

Even if it’s a limited practice, it’s good news for Robinson’s Week 7 availability against the Panthers. He missed last week’s loss to the Ravens while recovering from the lingering knee issue. Carolina, one of the league’s most generous rush defenses, would represent a fantastic matchup for Robinson, who has benefited from Washington’s run heaviness in the red zone this season.
Malik Nabers

NYG Wide Receiver #1

Malik Nabers advanced to the next step in the NFL’s concussion protocol.

Nabers is expected to be a non-contact participant in practice this week. Giants head coach said Nabers, who suffered a brain injury in Week 4 against the Cowboys, is “doing much better” after being sidelined for almost three weeks. There’s no guarantee Nabes will be back for this week’s game against the Eagles, though he appears to be trending toward a return. We won’t know for sure until Friday. Nabers had at least 12 targets in the three games before his concussion.
Rachaad White

TB Running Back #1

Fox Sports’ Greg Auman believes Rachaad White will remain the team’s No. 1 running back.

Auman, a former Bucs beat writer who now covers the NFC South, said he would “caution” the Tampa Bay backfield “will be a rotation” going forward, with Sean Tucker and Bucky Irving remaining key parts of the team’s offense. “White is probably still the first one in if he’s back healthy, but he’d do well to be productive,” Auman said. “Irving and Tucker have set the bar high for the position and will now get their share as well.” Bucs head coach Todd Bowles said on Monday that Tucker’s Week 6 emergence could create a “three-headed” backfield. White, among the most inefficient runners in the NFL, is in real danger of losing valuable touches in the Tampa backfield.
Trey Sermon

IND Running Back #27

Colts head coach Shane Steichen said RB Trey Sermon has a shoulder injury.

Sermon banged up the shoulder in Week 6’s win over the Titans. With Jonathan Taylor (ankle) likely sidelined for another week, Tyler Goodson could be the team’s default lead back this week against the Dolphins. Goodson in Week 6 had 51 yards on eight rushes and functioned as the team’s primary pass-catching back. The Colts signed RB Salvon Ahmed as backfield depth in case Sermon is out against Miami.
Deshaun Watson

CLE Quarterback #4

ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler believes the Browns front office is “resigned to their fate” with Deshaun Watson as the team’s starting quarterback.

Fowler said the decision to bench Watson would assuredly involve team owner Jimmy Haslam and general manager Andrew Berry, meaning head coach Kevin Stefanski has no choice in confirming Watson as the starter week after week in a lost season. “My sense through all of this is the Browns are resigned to their fate, having no choice but to ride this out and hope things turn,” he said, adding coaches who have faced Watson in 2024 believe he’s “done” as an NFL quarterback. Fowler and ESPN’s Dan Graziano concluded there is no easy way out of Watson’s contract. Even sending an entire draft’s worth of picks to a team willing to absorb Watson’s remaining deal might not do the trick. We can expect Watson to remain under center for the rest of the 2024 season.
Russell Wilson

PIT Quarterback #3

The Athletic’s Mike DeFabo believes Russell Wilson’s lack of mobility could be an issue for the Steelers offense.

With Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin considering starting Wilson over Justin Fields in Week 7 against the Jets, DeFabo pointed out that Wilson has led the NFL in sacks taken in two of the past five seasons. “With an injured and inexperienced offensive line, the risk of sacks setting the Steelers back is real,” DeFabo said. “Wilson also leaned on his mobility in his younger days to extend plays and create outside of structure. The Steelers should not expect him to be this type of passer and will need to evolve the offense accordingly.” DeFabo added that Fields could still be used in certain packages as a rusher as the Steelers continue adding “new wrinkles” to the Fields-involved rushing attack. In such a scenario, Wilson would not be fantasy viable in any format.
Andrew Thomas

NYG Tackle #78

NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports Giants OT Andrew Thomas (foot) is out for the season.

Thomas had foot surgery this week and will miss the remainder of the 2024 season. It’s quite the setback for the Giants, as whose pass-blocking is graded by Pro Football Focus as the 15th best in the NFL through Week 6. Thomas in the offseason signed a five-year, $117.5 million deal and was meant to be the anchor of New York’s offensive line.
Cam Akers

MIN Running Back #22

Vikings acquired RB Cam Akers and a 2026 conditional seventh-round pick from the Texans in exchange for a 2026 conditional sixth-round pick.

This is the second season in a row the Vikings have traded for Cam Akers, who has 40 carries for 147 yards and a touchdown this season. This indicates Aaron Jones (hip) may still be feeling the effects of the hip injury he suffered in Week 5, though he was practicing on Monday. Akers adds depth to a backfield with Ty Chandler as the primary backup.
