  • SF Running Back #24
    Mason’s left shoulder got body weighted on an early second quarter carry and he headed straight to the X-ray room and a questionable tag. Not ideal. He had eight carries for 65 yards before departing, but also a drop near the goal line. Isaac Guerendo is the next man up for a team uncharacteristically light on running back depth at the moment. “Patrick Taylor Jr.” is the only other back even active this evening, unless you are willing to count Deebo Samuel.
  • SF Wide Receiver #14
    Coach Kyle Shanhan hinted as much on Thursday but wouldn’t confirm it. Practicing will just be step one for a first-rounder who was having a mixed camp even before his extremely unfortunate off-the-field incident. It’s possible Pearsall is slowly ramped up before returning following the 49ers’ Week 9 bye. Pearsall is going to have a difficult time carving out 12-team re-draft value behind Brandon Aiyuk, Deebo Samuel and George Kittle.
  • SF Running Back #23
    Per Breer, CMC “just started feeling like himself again last week.” Breer also reports there have been “no flare ups or setbacks.” It sounds like this time it might count for McCaffrey’s return, though it might still be a long shot to see him in Week 7 against the Chiefs since he’s yet to get moving in earnest. It’s possible following the 49ers’ Week 9 ends up McCaffrey’s most likely return date.
  • NYJ Linebacker #7
    Either Reddick’s agents are trying to absolve themselves of any blame for his holdout fiasco, or he really has been going against their advice this entire time. It’s possible the initial holdout was a team effort that has since morphed into Reddick against the world against the advice of his reps. Pot committed now, Reddick is going to need some better counsel to get out of this mess.
  • TB Running Back #1
    Uh oh. Mid-week downgrades are rarely good news, and we didn’t see anything to convince us to the contrary Thursday. This puts White at more doubtful than questionable to face the Saints, especially since Tampa will probably reckon they don’t need him to beat a team starting a rookie quarterback. Friday will tell the tale, but fantasy managers should be planning on alternatives this weekend. Bucky Irving would be a high-end RB2 in White’s absence.
  • SF Defensive Back #7
    Ward’s short-week absence leaves the 49ers severely short-handed in the secondary, and turns into a big green light for underdog DK Metcalf and company. Ward seems merely day to day, but the quick turnaround was too much to overcome. We like his chances of being back for Week 7. Joining Ward on the shelf are TE Brayden Willis, LB Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles, DL Jordan Elliott, K Jake Moody, OL Ben Bartch and QB Josh Dobbs.
  • DEN Running Back #23
    It means Estime will be coming off injured reserve. What it does not necessarily mean is that he will be active Sunday, though we would expect so. The next question then becomes if he can muscle in on Javonte Williams and Jaleel McLaughlin’s workloads after Tyler Baide had begun to do before injuring his back. Williams and McLaughlin’s recent play and efficiency have improved, perhaps making it more difficult for fifth-round rookie Estime to get on the field. He’s only worth a flier in the most desperate of deeper-league RB situations.
  • LAC Quarterback #10
    This is the same ankle Herbert played through in Week 4. With the Chargers coming off a Week 5 bye, Herbert has had plenty of time to rest his ankle and should be good to go, barring any setbacks. He’ll need to be at the top of his game against a Broncos defense that has been among the league’s best this season. Herbert shouldn’t be viewed as anything more than a QB2 in fantasy this week.
  • LV Wide Receiver #16
    Meyers is the kind of veteran who could get back on track to play with even a “limited” Friday session, but he is now firmly on the wrong side of questionable as the Raiders prepare to change quarterbacks from Gardner Minshew to Aidan O’Connell. It’s a nightmare scenario for O’Connell, who is already without Davante Adams. Meyers joining Adams on the shelf would make Tre Tucker a desperation WR3. For his part, Meyers will crack the top 36 if he manages to suit up.
  • LAC Running Back #4
    Two straight DNPs to open the week for Edwards puts him on track to miss Week 6’s game against the Broncos. He’ll have one more day to try and get on the field, but if he’s unable to go, we could see rookie Kimani Vidal activated for the first time this season.
