Dallas Goedert (knee) remains sidelined Wednesday

Shaheed is now firmly on the wrong side of questionable heading into Monday evening’s game against the Bears. If he was in your third receiver or second FLEX spot in a 14-team league, it is time to start making other plans.

It’s not particularly concerning — this is probably part of a pre-established practice plan as Charbonnet completes his injury comeback — but Jadarian Price’s Friday return to full practice certainly has our attention. Now even if Charbonnet does manage to make his 2026 debut on Monday evening against the Bears, he could have even more company in Seattle’s crowded backfield. Both backs returning would make all three of Charbonnet, Price and Emanuel Wilson shaky FLEX plays. We will receive official game designations on Saturday afternoon. Until then, hang tight.

Price was upgraded to full while Zach Charbonnet (knee) was downgraded to limited. That is probably part of a pre-planned process with Charbonnet, but as of Friday evening, we suppose Price is now technically closer to returning than his veteran backfield mate. As it is, both players now seem more likely than not to suit up, which would make for an extremely chaotic fantasy situation with Emanuel Wilson still in the fold. With the Seahawks playing on Monday evening, we will receive official game designations Saturday afternoon.

Rapoport adds that the injury is likely to sideline the standout defensive tackle “for the foreseeable future,” with a stint on injured reserve appearing likely. The Commanders continue to be dealt significant injuries, this time on the defensive side of the ball, as they fight to remain in contention in a fragile NFC East division. The team will know more about the extent of the injury when Payne undergoes further testing Saturday.

Week 8 will mark the second consecutive absence for the veteran kick returner, with little-to-no impact on the offensive pieces around him considering he has played more than 12 offensive snaps only once all season. Fantasy managers are more interested in the potential status of George Pickens, who is listed as questionable. If Pickens can’t go, Ryan Flournoy could see a slight uptick in opportunities on the perimeter.

Pickens saw a hamstring designation added to his status this week after playing through a shoulder ailment the previous two games, which was enough for the team to list him as questionable after a week of limited sessions. Although we expect Pickens to continue to play through his injuries, fantasy managers will want to confirm his status when the team releases inactives 90-minutes prior to first kick. If active, Pickens is an upside WR2 against the Cardinals.

Allgeier saw a steady progression in practice throughout the week, starting off with a “DNP” before upgrading in each subsequent session, culminating in a full practice Friday. He will be available to form a likely three-headed timeshare with Jeremiyah Love and Bam Knight against the Cowboys and likely does not warrant fantasy consideration.

Harvey was added to the injury report Thursday with a knee injury before being unable to practice Friday, ultimately ruled out for the team’s divisional clash against the Chiefs. Expect Jonah Coleman to serve as the primary rusher in addition to the possibility he sees his pass game involvement tick up in the absences of both Harvey and Tyler Badie, the latter of whom is on injured reserve. The increase in opportunity is enough to vault Coleman into viable FLEX territory for Week 8.

Waddle got in two limited sessions after missing practice on Wednesday. It feels like he’s on the optimistic side of questionable given the trend line, though of course you would have preferred to see a full session somewhere in here. It’s also possible he winds up on a snap count, so we’ll see if any insiders dig up anything on that this weekend.

You thought you could just sneak this guy through waivers, did you? Well the Miami Dolphins are going to claim him. They’ve got to look busy here as they try to find one or two front seven pieces that will still have jobs in two years. The 26-year-old Kromah is their latest attempt to find one of them.
