CeeDee Lamb and Puka Nacua Among Top NFL Players on Week 7 Injury Report
In this story:
The hardest aspect of fantasy football can be the management of injuries. I will speak for myself — my top fantasy league has 6-of-18 players on the injury report with three definitely out. Meanwhile, I am still 5-1. It is not about the injuries themselves, but how you manage them. Anyway, we must know the extent of our players injuries in order to make the best short and long term decision for our team. This is what our injury report will help you do.
QUARTERBACKS
Carson Wentz and JJ McCarthy
Wentz is "not 100% healthy". What this means for his availability, we do not yet know. The Vikings will need him active as JJ McCarthy is likely to yet return. Wentz should start on Sunday.
Lamar Jackson
He is expected back after the Week 7 bye, with confidence.
Brock Purdy
He will be monitored all week and hopes to play in Week 7. It appears increasingly likely that we will have one more week of Mac Jones. Purdy is now OUT.
Kyler Murray
He was out last week and was questionable with a foot injury. He will start.
JJ McCarthy
In a bit of a surprise, McCarthy is questionable, but Wentz will start.
RUNNING BACKS
Bucky Irving
He will remain out through Week 7. The Buccaneers are on a bye in Week 8, so you are Bucky-less for two weeks now.
Chuba Hubbard
Fowler: Panthers expected to give both Rico Dowdle and Chuba Hubbard touches "regardless of who gets the first snap."

It looks like he will make his Week 7 return. Dave Canales stated that Dowdle earned a snap-split going forward.
Alvin Kamara
Kamara did not partake in Wednesday practice (ankle). He will be active.
D'Andre Swift
He took many hits on Monday so it is no surprise that he is on the report with a groin. He says that he will play.
Hassan Haskins
He is questionable (Chest), boosting Kimani Vidal tremendously.
Josh Jacobs
He has been sick all week and is questionable. We had expected him to play, but we now air caution. He is a true game-time decision.
WIDE RECEIVERS

Lamb will be back in the lineup this week.
Emeka Egbuka
In a huge surprise, Egbuka will be a game-time decision. We had expected him to be out, and still do. e
DJ Moore
Moore is day-to-day after he spent Monday night at the hospital (Groin). I will spare you the details... He will be active. lave
Chris Godwin
He has a fibula injury that will have him out through the Week 8 bye.
Garrett Wilson
Wilson will be out with a hyperextended knee. The absence is expected to be multiple weeks.
Mike Evans
Evans will be a game-time decision today, but trends more likely than not to play per reports.
Puka Nacua
Though he returned to the game on Sunday, we did speculate that his injury might still require missed time. This is true as he will be out through the Week 8 bye.
Calvin Ridley
He maintain to be injury prone, now with a hamstring. He will miss Week 7.
Jauan Jennings
Based on his postgame presser, Jennings' entire body is essentially injured. We will monitor him closely. He will play.
49ers WR Jauan Jennings told reporters that he is playing with five broken ribs, and high and low ankle sprains.

Quentin Johnston
He is questionable with a hamstring strain. If he does not return this week, it will be next week. He looks to now be active.
Terry McLaurin
His injury is pretty serious. McLaurin hopes to return this week, but trends more likely to be back in Week 8 or 9. He did return to practice on Wednesday.
Deebo Samuel
Deebo will be out this Sunday.
Marvin Harrison Jr.
He is concussed and must be cleared. In a surprise, he was cleared to play, devaluing Trey McBride back down to his normal outlook.
Darnell Mooney
Mooney should be back this week (Hamstring).
Ricky Pearsall
He will be out for the third straight week. Boost to Jauan Jennings and Kendrick Bourne.
Chris Olave
He will be questionable with a hip injury. Olave will play.
Stefon Diggs
He is questionable with a chest injury. The severity is unknown. m
Josh Downs
He has a concussion and will not play.
Jakobi Meyers
He missed Thursday practice, but reports are confident that he will be active. He will test his toe during warmups.
TIGHT ENDS
David Njoku
He will be OUT with a knee injury. Boost to Harold Fannin Jr. but take caution with the wind, literally.
Dalton Kincaid
He was a game day decision on Monday and went on to be out. He maintains to be day-to-day.
George Kittle
Optimism is in the air that Kittle will be active for Week 7. The Jake Tonges era was fun, but is likely over.
Brock Bowers
The Raiders want him fully healthy. That is smart by them. He should be out this week.
Zach Ertz
Ertz will play as of Sunday morning.
