Giles-Harris (6'2/240) has his 2018 season come to a premature end due to a knee injury suffered in early November. For that reason he has a lot to prove at this week’s Combine, especially if he’s healthy enough to participate in the athletic testing events. “He’ll have issues to tackle: mainly in that I’m not sold on his high end athleticism and he appears to play more effective in tighter windows,” Crabbs wrote. Should Giles-Harris not be able to test, the medical reports will be of even greater importance when it comes to his draft prospects.

Elliss suffered a lower-leg injury on his right leg in Week 6. Broncos head coach Sean Payton said Wednesday that the injury is not season-ending, but did not rule out a stint on injured reserve. Either way, it sounds like Elliss will miss Week 7 and potentially more.

Kirk was limited all of last week but starts out this week listed as a full participant for the 49ers’ Wednesday walkthrough practice. He remains on injured reserve, but head coach Kyle Shanahan said Kirk is a “possibility” for Week 7. A full practice listing is a good start and Kirk could see WR3 volume immediately with Mike Evans and Deebo Samuel dealing with injuries.

Love starts out not practicing for the second straight week due to an ankle injury. He missed Week 6 against the Rams and a DNP Wednesday puts him on the wrong side of questionable to play in Week 7 against the Broncos. Love will need to practice in some capacity to have a chance of playing this week, but Tyler Allgeier is back in the RB2 range if Love cannot go.

Badie was a non-participant in practice with a thumb injury. With Jonah Coleman designated to return from injured reserve, Badie does not need to be rostered for fantasy purposes.

Waddle briefly exited the Broncos’ Week 6 win over the Seahawks before returning to the game. He now pops up on the practice reported as a limited participant on Wednesday with a chest injury. Waddle is not in jeopardy of missing time just yet, but his poor fantasy production to start the season makes him a volatile fantasy option for Week 7 against the Cardinals.

Robinson is the immediate backup to Bijan Robinson in the Falcons’ backfield, seeing his best usage in run-heavy game scripts. He was limited with a hamstring injury on Wednesday but is still trending to play Week 7 against the 49ers, barring setbacks. Also limited was Olamide Zaccheaus (shoulder). Both players are depth options at best behind the Falcons’ star-studded skill players.

Deablo suffered a forearm injury in Week 6 and opens Week 7 not practicing. Also not practicing was CB Billy Bowman (hamstring). Both will need to practice in some capacity to play in Week 7 against the 49ers.

Daniels was carted off the field on a stretched in the Falcons’ Week 6 loss to the Bears. It was a scary scene that paused the game for around fifteen minutes as Daniels’ neck was stabilized after he hit his head while attempting to make a tackle. Fortunately, the rookie appears to be okay as he appeared in practice as a full participant on Wednesday.

Shaheed was heavily involved in the Seahawks’ high-volume passing game in Week 6. He seemingly came out of the week banged-up and will open this week as a limited practice participant. Shaheed competes with Cooper Kupp for the No. 2 pass-catching role on the team but is only a boom-or-bust option for deep leagues at this point.

Kelce played through an ankle issue in Week 6, catching five passes for 53 yards. Despite not playing at full health, he was still second on the team in targets. Kelce starts out the week as a limited practice participant and it would be a surprise if he misses National Tight End Day this week against the Seahawks.
