Thursday Injury report update

The injury report is lengthy at this point in the season, and limited players are more often than not going to end up playing on Sunday.

Welcome to Week 7 of NFL action! The league has provided us an interesting slate this week, with a mega-slate of divisional matchups to kick off the week. Teams continue creating separation in the race to top their respective divisions, as just three NFL teams remain undefeated.

As we clear up some questions about the NFL playoff picture, we gain plenty more questions about our fantasy football teams and what it means for start/sit advice. Week 6 performances from RBs Kenyan Drake, Darrell Henderson and Clyde Edwards-Helaire have us wondering if they’re the real deal. Can WR Chase Claypool continue to dominate? Which WR has the most upside with Andy Dalton under center for the Dallas Cowboys? Does Richard Rodgers have TE1 upside in the absence of Zach Ertz and Dallas Goedert.

We’ll help you sort through these questions and more for your fantasy football teams and help you make your most difficult start/sit decisions in Week 7.
