#NFL Injury Updates #Rams Puka Nacua - Wk 7 TBD. Data projects 2/3 to sit. If playing, would expect strong production and would start in all formats. In-season re-injury risk given 2-3 soft tissue injuries this season = HIGH. Concern = potentially related to compensation 1/4

#NFL Injury Updates #49ers Christian McCaffrey - Suspect quad contusion. Returned, but w/minimal production. Most cases would not cause any dip by Wk 9 (Wk 8 = bye) #Ravens Lamar Jackson - Data strongly favors return Wk 8 + mild dip in rushing. Likely needs 1+ FP to play 1/9

#49ers Mike Evans - Lean Wk 9 return. This often lingers for several wks w/o extended rest #49ers Deebo Samuel - Data favors Wk 9 return. High re-injury risk in season (~20%) #Buccaneers Emeka Egbuka - Likely to clear concussion. Concern = foot. Lean toward playing Wk 8 8/9

#Buccaneers Baker Mayfield - Unclear if limited passing volume Wk 7 was game script vs protecting his thumb. Suspect more game script + gradual rise in attempts #Texans David Montgomery - Data favors Wk 9 return (Wk 8 = bye). Usage TBD as he was ineffective previously 9/9

#49ers Mike Evans - Ruled out Wk 7. Ironically reassuring as a Mike Evans owner. Raises chances that he may rest this and get past it. Concern = this often takes several wks rest to really get better #Seahawks📷Zach Charbonnet - Out Wk 7. Data strongly favors return Wk 8 4/4

#Ravens Lamar Jackson - Wk 7 out. Comments raised concern about sitting, but LP x3 favored playing for most QBs Pelissero reported that he took most of 1st team reps Fri which lines up with above data. Strongly lean toward return Wk 8 2/4

#Eagles DeVonta Smith - Major concern. Re-aggravation of previously re-aggravated hamstring. Ruled out Wk 7. Vast majority are multi-wk absences. Avg = at least 3 wks #Eagles Saquon Barkley - If FP Sat, data favors full workload. If LP Sat, data projects ~15% dip in usage 3/4

Lamar Jackson - this comment makes it sound like he wouldn't have played if the game was Friday
Here is Ravens QB Lamar Jackson walking to the podium after Friday's practice. Asked if there his decision on whether to play could go up until Sunday morning, Jackson replied: "If it feels better tomorrow, we'll know tomorrow. So I can't call it. I just have a grace period until Sunday."

10 Players Set Up to DOMINATE Fantasy Football Week 7: 1. Jaylen Warren maintained a 75% snap share even with Dowdle back last week. He has 18+ opportunities in four straight games and gets a Saints defense that allows the most points to opposing RBs... 2. Tucker Kraft...
