The six-time first-team All Pro was emotional at the end of the Eagles’ blowout loss to the underdog Bucs on Monday night and reportedly told fellow Eagles players that he would hang it up. Kelce, 36, is slated to become an unrestricted free agent this offseason. Kelce continued playing at a high level in 2023: PFF graded the veteran as the league’s seventh best pass-blocking center and fourth best in run blocking.

The Chargers could feel compelled to activate Chark, even in a limited capacity, given their pass-catcher corps injuries. Ideally, Chark would resume practicing in full before returning though.

We will know more about Wilson’s status for Week 7 when the Cardinals release their final injury report of the week on Saturday, but Wilson is currently tracking to play barring any setbacks. If he can’t suit up, Zay Jones, who is practicing in full, would likely take over the No. 3 receiver duties for Arizona.

McConkey is on track to play in Week 7 against the Cardinals, though a Full Participant designation on Saturday would be reassuring. With multiple Chargers’ pass catchers ailing, McConkey, already an efficient target earner, could see increased opportunities.

Harrison Jr. shed his non-contact jersey for Friday’s session, meaning he is in the final stages of the league’s concussion protocol. He has a chance to be removed from the injury report entirely on Saturday but could also wind up playing through a questionable tag if the team lists him as such. Fantasy managers can tentatively count on him as a high-end WR2 for his upcoming matchup with the Chargers.

Fantasy managers desperate for tight end production should consider streaming the surehanded Will Dissly (shoulder) who was upgraded to a full participant in Friday’s practice.

This is a negative development for the second-year receiver. Johnston was limping through the pain after spraining his ankle early in Week 6. Consecutive DNPs suggest he is likely to sit out Week 7, though he has another chance to practice on Saturday.

Fellow San Francisco Matthew Wright was placed on injured reserve with a shoulder injury. Newly signed Anders Carlson will take over kicking duties for San Francisco this week. Carlson is worth an add for fantasy managers living the stream at kicker.

Bosa has a chance to practice on Saturday, leading up to the Chargers’ Monday Night Football game against the Cardinals but he is currently trending toward another missed game. This is a brutal four-week stretch for the pass rusher.

White opened the week with two limited sessions and was upgraded to a full practice before being listed as questionable. All signs point to him making his return to the lineup on Sunday. White was averaging 12 carries for 38 yards without a touchdown before going down with the groin injury in Week 4. He will likely return to a committee role with Alexander Mattison, keeping him in the RB3 ranks versus LA.

The Panthers only listed Johnson with an ankle injury on the Wednesday and Thursday injury reports. He has been rehabbing the ankle injury for multiple weeks. He then appeared on Friday’s injury report with hamstring and ribs injuries as well, prompting reporters to ask Dave Canales for clarification. Canales explained that Johnson suffered the hamstring injury in Week 6, and regarding the ribs issue, “something kind of... tightened up on him” during Friday’s practice. For what it’s worth, Canales also noted that Johnson “looked good” and was “moving around quickly” before the ribs issue popped up. Johnson regularly plays through injuries but this is a situation to monitor through the weekend.
