  • NO Defensive Tackle #90

    Clemson sophomore DT Bryan Bresee is considered among the nation’s top interior defensive linemen ahead of the 2022 season.
    Bresee (6'5/300) has been among Clemson’s brightest shining players in the midst of what’s been a bit of a down period for the Tigers. The team should be optimistic about what he can do for them up front on the interior, something he’s already shown as he recorded a PFF pass rush grade of 81.2, 26 quarterback pressures and four sacks. PFF’s Connor Rogers currently has him pinned as the No. 3 interior defensive lineman in the country, while the network’s Trevor Sikkema has him even higher at No. 2, behind only Jalen Carter of Georgia.

  • BAL Cornerback #44

    Ravens CB Marlon Humphrey (knee) left Baltimore’s Week 7 game against Tampa Bay and is questionable to return.
    Humphrey’s knee got banged on his second interception of the game, he was checked out in the blue medical tent and walked to the locker room just before halftime. He seemed to be walking just fine, and given Baltimore’s lack of cornerback depth, he will almost surely return if he can go.
  • TB Wide Receiver #13
    Mike Evans (hamstring) left Tampa Bay’s Week 7 game against the Ravens and has been ruled out.
    Evans had one 25-yard touchdown catch and hit the turf hard on a second end zone target that hit him directly in his hands, writhing in agony before being helped off by trainers. He was already laboring to play through the hamstring and was clearly only a priority target for Tampa Bay in the red zone. This has the look of an injury that could have Evans miss multiple weeks.
  • ARI Wide Receiver #89
    Cardinals declared DB Kei’Trel Clark, TE Travis Vokolek, WR Xavier Weaver, LB Xavier Thomas, LB Owen Pappoe, and LB Victor Dimukeje inactive for Week 7 against the Chargers.
    That means rookie wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. will officially return after leaving the team’s Week 6 contest with a concussion after just eight offensive snaps. Rookie wide receiver Xavier Weaver, who was active last week and played 41 offensive snaps after Harrison Jr. departed, is inactive.
  • LAC Wide Receiver #1
    Chargers declared WR Quentin Johnston, QB Easton Stick, WR Derius Davis,OL Brenden Jaimes, OL Jordan McFadden, TE Hayden Hurst, and LB Joey Bosa inactive for Week 7 against the Cardinals.
    All three of Johnston, Bosa, and Hurst came into Monday listed as doubtful and will ultimately miss the team’s Week 7 contest against the Cardinals. The Chargers are deep at linebacker but losing a player as talented as Joey Bosa is a significant hit. The Chargers are chasing the lone remaining undefeated team in the Chiefs in the AFC West, likely hunting for a wildcard spot out of the division.
  • LV Quarterback #19
    Raiders signed QB Desmond Ridder off the Cardinals practice squad.
    The Raiders were put in a bind at quarterback after Aidan O’Connell hit injured reserve with a thumb injury. Ridder is likely to serve as the primary backup behind Gardner Minshew while O’Connell is on injured reserve. Ridder was signed to the Arizona practice squad after Clayton Tune beat him out this offseason for the primary backup role behind Kyler Murray.
  • SF Running Back #23
    49ers HC Kyle Shanahan told reporters he would be “surprised” if RB Christian McCaffrey were able to play in Week 8.
    This makes sense considering the team then goes to their bye in Week 9. The 49ers have been bitten hard by the injury bug this season, notably missing McCaffrey to this point in the season and losing wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk to a torn MCL and wide receiver Deebo Samuel to pneumonia in Week 8. That could leave the team extremely thin for the team’s Sunday Night Football matchup against the Cowboys.
  • BAL Running Back #26
    Ravens declared RB Rasheen Ali, S Beau Brade, LB Malik Harrison, LB Adisa Isaac, C Nick Samac, and DT Broderick Washington inactive for Week 7 against the Buccaneers.
    No major surprises here as the Ravens remain one of the healthier teams in the league. The biggest absence is DT Broderick Washington, normally a starter off the edge for the Ravens.
  • TB Running Back #1
    Buccaneers RB Rachaad White (foot) is active for Week 7 against the Ravens.
    This was though to be the case after White logged a full practice on Saturday, with his status now confirmed with the release of the Week 7 inactives list. The Tampa backfield situation remains unclear after rookie Bucky Irving and Sean Tucker performed well in White’s absence, with head coach Todd Bowles indicating the team would ride the hot hand moving forward. Also active in Week 7 is DT Vita Vea, who was added to the injury report late in the week. Inactive for the Buccaneers are DL C.J. Brewer, P Jake Camarda, TE Payne Durham, OG Royce Newman, and LB Jose Ramirez.
  • SF Wide Receiver #1
    The Athletic’s Matt Barrows reports 49ers WR Deebo Samuel was taken to the hospital Monday with fluid in his lungs.
    Fluid in the lungs technically means Samuel is struggling through pneumonia, which can be treated. Even so, head coach Kyle Shanahan said he was unsure how long Samuel would be in the hospital and out of the lineup. Shanahan also added that rookies Ricky Pearsall and Jacob Cowing are likely going to be required to have big roles for Sunday’s game against the Cowboys. The reports of Samuel’s sickness popped up on Saturday before he played only four offensive snaps in the loss against the Chiefs, now clearly due to the fluid in his lungs.
  • NO Wide Receiver #15
    Saints signed free agent WR Marquez Valdes-Scantling, formerly of the Bills.
    Valdes-Scantling was released by the Bills following the acquisition of Amari Cooper and lands in New Orleans after the season-ending knee injury to Rashid Shaheed. Valdes-Scantling has experience operating in a downfield role like the one left behind by Shaheed, albeit with spotty success. Even so, he is likely to be given every opportunity to return significant value for fantasy managers in a bind at wide receiver.
