The team also added former Colts running back Jordan Wilkins to their practice squad. Brown opened the year with the Raiders but he didn’t appear in any games and was cut a few weeks into the season. He then joined a receiver-needy Broncos squad but only lasted two weeks in Denver. The Jaguars have a thin receiving room but Brown is still unlikely to see more than a few snaps if he gets called up from the practice squad.

ESPN’s Marcel Louis-Jacques reports that Willis received treatment for his thumb injury on his right, throwing hand, though he did not share what exactly the injury is. Hopefully, it is nothing serious. If his ball placement is impacted, the Jets’ D/ST would benefit. Willis is a volatile QB2 against them this week. Willis underwent surgery on his left thumb in August 2025.

The Dolphins’ speedy back will likely serve as a change-of-pace option behind Ollie Gordon, who has outplayed Wright since De’Von Achane’s season-ending knee injury. Wright does not need to be rostered in 12-team formats.

Douglas told reporters that he has finally progressed to being “day-to-day,” giving him a real chance to suit up in Week 7 against the Jets. Douglas should be added in 12-team formats. He played very well early on and will likely warrant FLEX consideration upon his return.

Evans is already expected to miss “a little time” because of his Achilles tendinitis, so this isn’t a surprise. It’s safe to assume he’s out for at least Week 7, but the good news is that it’s not expected to be a long-term issue. Evans could be back as soon as Week 9 following the 49ers’ bye week. With Deebo Samuel all but ruled out for this week’s matchup with Atlanta, Brandin Cooks and Jordan Watkins are set for starting roles on Sunday.

Terrell was back on the practice field with his teammates today. He has a chance to face the 49ers and their banged-up wide receiver corps in Week 7. Terrell is a capable coverage defender. His return is a positive for the Falcons’ defense.

Mooney should be good to go this week, but he does not need to be on fantasy football rosters. Giants TE Theo Johnson (neck) was limited.

Thomas, the team’s left tackle, plus RT Jermaine Eluemunor (calf) and backup OT Marcus Mbow (knee) were all sidelined on Wednesday. Thomas played through a questionable tag last week. This unit is ailing. They face the Texans’ capable defensive line in Week 7.

Holland, the team’s top safety, and Greg Newsome (concussion), the team’s top cornerback, were both sidelined today. Giants LB Tremaine Edmunds (shoulder) was also sidelined. The Giants are tasked with containing a Texans’ passing offense that ties for the league lead in explosive pass plays this week.

The Packers held a walkthrough today, so Watson’s status is only an estimate from the team. Given his lengthy injury history, fantasy managers should keep an eye on Green Bay’s injury report tomorrow, though we suspect this isn’t a major issue for Watson. Assuming he gets up to a full practice at some point this week, Watson will be a borderline WR1 for Week 7 versus Detroit.

A limited session this early in the week is usually nothing to worry about. After racking up another 100-yard game on Sunday, this time on 13 targets, Golden could use a little rest at practice. He was working his way into the WR1 ranks already, and a shootout with the Lions all but guarantees him a spot in the top 12 this week.
