Leal (6'4/290) is coming in as one of the better defensive linemen in this draft as he posted 12.5 tackles for loss, 8.5 sacks, and 58 tackles, which led all SEC defensive linemen. He’s a prospect that you clearly see uses his size and athleticism and uses those physical traits to make smart football decisions. Butler compared Neal to Ndamukong Suh which is high praise as he’s been one of the best interior linemen in the league for a while. Both players are extremely strong and athletic for their size and Butler believes as Neal continues to grow, he’ll only get better

Holland, the Giants’ starting free safety, and Tyler Nubin (neck), the Giants’ starting strong safety, are both questionable to play. Meanwhile, starting perimeter CB Greg Newsome (concussion) has been ruled out. Expect the Texans’ passing offense to stay hot this week.

The Seahawks’ sporadic producer will be on the field against the Chiefs this week. Shaheed has been involved as a receiver and as a rusher, scoring touchdowns in consecutive weeks. He offers a low floor, but he makes for a viable FLEX starter this week.

Donaldson is the third member of the Saints’ backfield committee. While he will get a few touches this week, he is not getting enough work for fantasy relevance.

Dickerson injured a pectoral muscle on Thursday, complicating his knee-related return from injured reserve. He is firmly in the questionable camp at this time. Eagles C Drew Kendall (knee) was upgraded to full participation.

We had really hoped to see Barkley practice in full today. He still has a chance to take the field when the Eagles face the Cowboys in Week 7’s Monday Night Football game, but he is inching toward a questionable designation right now. Upgrading to full tomorrow would increase his odds of playing.

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.

Goedert is on the wrong side of questionable for the Eagles’ Week 7 Monday Night Football game against the Cowboys. The Philadelphia Inquirer’s Jeff McLane reports that as of Thursday, there was “optimism” about Goedert’s Week 7 availability. Hopefully, he resumes practicing tomorrow.

Like Thursday, Smith was sidelined for Friday’s practice. The Eagles have been managing his practice reps and pulled him out for multiple drives in their Week 6 loss to the Panthers. The Eagles face the Cowboys on Monday night, giving Smith an extra day to rest. Consider him highly questionable to play at this time. McLane adds that Dontayvion Wicks (ankle) could also sit out this week.

Daniels was taken off the field on a stretcher last week, but managed to practice in full to begin the week. Daniels, a rookie, has 23 tackles, three quarterback pressures and one sack this season.

Both Terrell and CB C.J. Henderson (groin) are questionable to play after practicing in full on Friday. Getting them back in the starting lineup would be very helpful for the Falcons’ defense.
