Nick Bosa (knee) making progress after surgery

A Friday afternoon tradition unlike any other, Bowers was cleared after getting in two full sessions on Thursday and Friday. He can be played as an elite TE1, as usual.

Watson remained limited through the first two practices this week. We do not yet know his Friday participation level, but he seems to be ready for action. Watson belongs in the WR1 tier against a Lions’ pass defense that has freely surrendered big plays this season.

Love was limited on Wednesday before upgrading to full on Thursday. Packers coach Matt LaFleur told reporters that his starting quarterback was “pretty beat up” after the Packers’ Week 6 win over the Cowboys. Hopefully, he is feeling much better by now. This divisional showdown looks like one of the most fantasy-friendly game environments in Week 7. He’s a QB1.

Edmunds will presumably be placed on IR before Week 7’s game against the Texans. He managed a 52.0 PFF grade in 380 snaps over six games, recording two sacks and 50 combined tackles. Edmunds will enter year two of his three-year deal with the Giants in 2027, in what will be his age-29 season.

Johnson is not fantasy-relevant on his own, but he can help out the Giants’ offense in real life when he is available. Isaiah Likely is the Giants’ clear-cut TE1.

Thomas has played through injuries in multiple games this year. Giants RT Jermaine Eluemunor (calf) and backup OT Marcus Mbow (knee) both resumed practicing in a limited capacity on Thursday and are officially questionable to play this week. The Texans’ defense has underperformed this year. Perhaps this is a get-right matchup for them.

After three full sessions this week, Branch is expected to be activated off reserve/PUP and should have no snap count per DC Kelvin Sheppard. He can be welcomed back to IDP lineups.

Questionable but fully expected to play after three full practices, Mays should add some more teeth to the Lions’ run game.

Sigh. Three-player backfields are generally fantasy-unfriendly situations, and this one is no different. Skattebo is a capable dual-threat player who has seemingly been limited by the significant ankle injury he suffered last year. The Giants could get him more involved in the passing game, but Tracy can contribute there as well, muddying that opportunity. Singletary would not be a contributor for many NFL teams, but lucky him, he’s a New York Giant. Skattebo and Tracy are viable FLEX options, though both are likely touchdown-dependent.

He practiced in full twice on Thursday and Friday. With Ja’Kobi Lane eating into his targets and the Bengals ever-vulnerable through the air by tight ends, Bateman is probably only a deep-league play in Week 7.
