Downs missed Wednesday’s practice before logging two limited sessions. He played through the toe issue last week after practicing once, so he should be able to do so again this time around. The second-year wideout has 24 grabs for 217 yards over the past three weeks. Even with Anthony Richardson returning, Downs should see enough targets to stay in the WR3 ranks for Week 7.

Holz also made scheme-specific comments about Ridley’s potential usage, saying, “maybe some shorter routes for him, where we can have somebody else clear out... there’s ways to guarantee [Ridley] the ball, and I think we need to do a couple more of those.” The Titans face the zone-heavy Bills in Week 7, so it’s entirely possible Ridley will showcase a new fantasy-friendly role this week.

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.
