    Dontayvion Wicks (hamstring) was removed from the injury report and will play in Week 6 against the Panthers.

    Apparently, Wicks’ day off on Thursday was only a rest day. The Eagles’ veteran wide receiver was limited on Wednesday and practiced fully today. Wicks played through the injury last week, posting a 5/63 receiving line with DeVonta Smith sidelined. Smith is back this week. Wicks is a boom-bust FLEX starter, catching passes thrown by backup Tanner McKee.

    The Eagles will be without their top two receivers but got good news Saturday with the removal of Dallas Goedert from the injury report. Saquon Barkley is listed as questionable and appears to be a true game-time decision. Considering the low involvement of the backfield in the pass game this season, Goedert stands to benefit the most from the absences at wide receiver. He can be started as an upside TE1 in a solid on-paper matchup against the Cowboys.

    Wicks has been banged up for weeks, and the Philadelphia Inquirer’s Jeff McLane said Wicks might miss the Eagles’ Week 7 game against the Cowboys. Hopefully, he resumes practicing tomorrow. Stay tuned.
  • PHI Wide Receiver #13
    Wicks swaps out his multi-week hamstring injury for an ankle injury. He managed to play through it in Week 6 against the Panthers after meeting with the training staff. We expect him to face the Cowboys on Monday night, but he is just a boom-bust FLEX.
  • PHI Wide Receiver #13
    Wicks wasn’t much of a factor in this one. Tanner McKee seemed far more comfortable throwing to DeVonta Smith and Dallas Goedert, which left few targets for Wicks. Initial reports have Wicks playing on 40 of the team’s 64 snaps and running a route on 32 of their 52 dropbacks, which was actually fewer than Makai Lemon and only five more than Darius Cooper. Some of that could be because Wicks grabbed at his ankle and left the field after a tackle in the second half. He was able to return to the game later in the half, but he missed a few plays while being tended to by trainers. With McKee at quarterback, it’s hard to trust Wicks in fantasy, regardless of matchup.

    Wicks played through the hamstring injury in Week 5 and may have made it worse. Downgrading to a DNP on Thursday is a bad sign. He is unlikely to play at this time, and if active, he would be prone to re-injury.
  • PHI Wide Receiver #13
    Wicks suffered the hamstring injury in practice last week but played through the injury in the Eagles’ Week 5 loss to the Jaguars. Also limited was Hollywood Brown (ankle). Brown has not played since suffering an ankle injury in Week 2 but has a chance to return this week. Expect Wicks to play in Week 6 while Brown is truly questionable.
  • PHI Wide Receiver #13
    DeVonta Smith was out again this week, leaving the Eagles to spread his targets around to several role players. Wicks led the team’s wideouts in targets, but it was Dallas Goedert who paced the team. On the back of one long touchdown catch, Darius Cooper led the team in receiving yards. Wicks is good for the occasional big play but isn’t a consistent enough player to be a solid fantasy option. He will be a deep FLEX option for Week 6 versus the Panthers.
  • PHI Wide Receiver #13
    He only got in a limited session today, but apparently that was all the Eagles needed to see. He’ll still be a tough start against Jacksonville in what is projected to be a low-scoring game as Philadelphia’s passing offense looks to rebound from last week’s rough showing.
  • PHI Wide Receiver #13
    Wicks was listed as a limited participant today, indicating that he strained his hamstring during Thursday’s practice. With DeVonta Smith (hamstring) still sidelined, rookie WR Makai Lemon could be the de facto top receiver, though the team has struggled to use him effectively thus far. Hollywood Brown (ankle) also remains sidelined.
  • PHI Wide Receiver #13
    Wicks was in theory the Eagles’ No. 1 receiver with DeVonta Smith (hamstring) sidelined, but in reality he does not really have a “scaleable” skill-set. It wasn’t surprising Wicks and Jalen Hurts failed to get anything going down the field with the Rams constantly in Hurts’ grill in rainy conditions. Smith seems to be looking at a multi-week absence, but Wicks will be hard-pressed to rise above WR4 status in 12-team leagues.

    Cowboys ruled out KaVontae Turpin (ribs) for Week 7 against the Eagles.

    Turpin’s absence will be felt most on special teams, with the team now forced to find a replacement on punt and kick returns. Otherwise, there is almost zero fantasy impact as the team’s WR4.

    Falcons activated A.J. Terrell (groin) from injured reserve.

    The Falcons have been attackable on the perimeter while playing most of the season without Terrell. Fellow cornerback C.J. Henderson is listed questionable for Week 7, but the reintegration of Terrell provides a much more difficult matchup for the injury-riddled 49ers.

    Broncos activated Jonah Coleman (ankle) from injured reserve.

    Coleman missed the minimum four games as he tended to an ankle injury suffered in Week 2. He led the team in snaps in that contest and could return to the primary rushing role considering the inefficient play of J.K. Dobbins in his absence, making him worthy of a start in fantasy circles in a plus matchup against the Cardinals in his first game back.

    Ravens ruled out Lamar Jackson (ankle) for Week 7 against the Bengals.

    Tyler Huntley will draw the start under center for the third straight game as Jackson continues to rehab a high-ankle sprain. Jackson reportedly took most of the first-team reps at practice Friday and was close to being able to play in Week 7, with the team ultimately siding with caution for their franchise quarterback. The Ravens enter a 15-game stretch in which they play three games starting in Week 8, which could have influenced their decision to hold Jackson out one more game. Expect him back for Week 8 against the Bills. His absence greatly influences the upside of the remaining skill position players considering Declan Doyle has halved his usage of play action and completely eliminated RPO with Huntley under center.

    Dallas Goedert (knee) was removed from the injury report Saturday and will play against the Cowboys in Week 7.

    Goedert reportedly aggravated his previous knee injury but got back on the practice field for a full session Saturday before being removed from the injury report. He could be stepping into a massive target share with both DeVonta Smith and Dontayvion Wicks ruled out. Fantasy managers can start him as an upside TE1 in a great matchup against the Cowboys in Week 7.

    Saquon Barkley (hamstring) is questionable for Week 7 against the Cowboys.

    Although getting in a full practice Saturday, the Eagles head into Monday’s game against the Cowboys with Barkley listed as questionable following a two-game absence. Fantasy managers have a decision considering the Eagles play in Week 7’s final game on Monday Night Football, with no clear fall back options should he be unable to play. It would seem prudent to make alternate plans at the position.

    ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reports Vikings plan to activate Jordan Mason (thumb) from injured reserve.

    Mason came into the season as the presumed lead back in a timeshare with Aaron Jones, the latter of whom has performed as a true workhorse in Mason’s absence. Although it could take a week or two for Mason to fully regain the lead back role, his presence significantly mutes the potential of Jones. Expect a near-even split when the Vikings take on the Colts in Week 7.

    Browns activated RB Dylan Sampson (knee) from injured reserve.

    Sampson was limited in practice throughout the week and listed as questionable for Week 7 against the Titans. Now that he’s officially been activated from injured reserve, he’s likely to be Cleveland’s change-of-pace back behind Quinshon Judkins this week. Sampson is worth stashing on fantasy benches, but is truly just a desperation FLEX play coming off a knee injury that’s sidelined him since Week 1.

    ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reports that several teams believe the Jaguars could trade WR Brian Thomas Jr.

    Appearing on ESPN Saturday morning, Fowler, citing Thomas’ zero catches over the last two weeks, said something has to give in this situation. According to several teams the NFL Insider talked to, Thomas could be traded over the next few weeks. Fowler listed the Chiefs and Steelers as potentially interested teams and was emphatic that there will be suitors for Thomas. If you have Thomas in fantasy, it’s hard to imagine his value getting worse with a change of scenery. The Jaguars would appear content to roll with Parker Washington, Jakobi Meyers and Travis Hunter as their top receivers in the event of a Thomas trade.
