Week 7 Sleepers & Emerging Players
MiWeek 7 Sleepers, Potential-Emergent Players, and Opportunistic Plays This article is contributed by Brad Kruse This column is NOT intended to provide Week 7 waiver claims lists. Instead, the purpose is to look at young players whose opportunity could emerge and should be monitored. I will also look at potential injury replacement players with my Week 7 Sleepers. My goal is to help look around corners for the season which might give some ideas for pre-emptive adds to your roster. 2024 has been a bit of a rollercoaster with all the injuries and enticing flashes of many rookies. Young Running Backs and Their Opportunity Status Chase Brown: Brown again out-performed Zach Moss on the ground in Week 6. Perhaps his higher usage was due to a Moss fumble; yet Brown also fumbled the ball. Brown had 10 carries for 53 yards and a touchdown in this game. Moss only logged six carries for 13 yards without finding the endzone. Brown also out-targeted Moss 2:1. Brown is separating himself from Moss in this offense. Braelon Allen: The Jets’ rushing attack looked better last night. However, one of the wrinkles to the changes the Jets made on offense was to increase Hall’s snaps compared with Allen. Allen only ended up with three carries and two targets without a catch. Allen did have a touchdown called back due to a holding penalty, unfortunately. Roschon Johnson: Johnson continued in his role as a third-down back and short-yardage back. Johnson did collect two catches on three targets this week for 25 yards. But no touchdowns on his five-carry eight-yard ground performance. His ceiling performances are low with Swift dominating the action on the ground and through the air. But, Johnson does have good contingent value as the likely lead RB if Swift were to miss time. Jaylen Wright: Miami returns from BYE in Week 7 with each of their running backs healthy. This will be a test to see if Wright has moved up the depth chart. He started the year as a healthy scratch, but he’s taken advantage of his opportunities over the last four weeks to turn in 29 carries for 139 scoreless yards. That’s a solid 4.79 yards per carry. If he can split the work with Achane and not cede too much work to Mostert, he could become playable and still have strong contingent value if Achane were to miss more time this year. Wright is one of the better backup running backs to own going forward. Tank Bigsby: Bigsby is playing great this year. Bigsby’s hot streak took a somewhat surprising step back in Week 6. Etienne went down with an injury, yet D’Ernest Johnson led the way in action from the running back position. As I alluded to a couple of weeks ago, this was likely game script-dependent. The Jaguars fall behind and Johnson picks up the passing down action with Etienne out of the game. Bigsby should lead in normal and positive game scripts while Etienne recovers from his injury. Bucky Irving: Irving stepped in for White in Week 6 matchup with the Saints. He continued to run well gaining 81 yards on 14 carries (5.8 yards/carry) including a touchdown. He also collected two catches for 24 yards. The surprise was that Sean Tucker, running as the RB2 for the week split carries and gained 136 yards on 14 carries (9.7 yards/carry) including a touchdown, and caught three balls for 56 yards and another touchdown. Tucker was a draft sleeper last season after falling out of the draft with a heart condition. He was eventually cleared and signed with Tampa Bay but failed to make a significant impact. Irving quickly supplanted him as the RB2 this year. But, Tucker put on a show and the coach has indicated he deserves a role in this offense. Let’s hope this doesn’t dissolve into a three-way committee once White returns. But there appear to be two young RBs who you could play in lineups in Week 7 vs Baltimore. Ray Davis: Monday night we saw a head fake with James Cook shifting from expected to play to OUT. It was then talked about how Ty Johnson would have some sort of revenge game vs the Jets who had previously cut him. Taylor even got the first carry, but Davis then picked up most of the action gaining 97 yards on 20 rushes, and led the Bills with 55 receiving yards on his three receptions. Davis showed he belongs in this offense, and it will be interesting to see if he can carve out a strong enough role once Cook returns. Young Breakout Receivers Second Year Players Jayden Reed: Week 6 saw Reed run 60% of the routes with Doubs’ and Watson’s return. He collected six receptions for 28 scoreless yards and a touchdown. This was somewhat of a muted output for Reed, but he continues to be the focal point of the offense. Dontayvion Wicks: Wicks did not deliver on his promise in Week 6. He only ran 17% of the routes before succumbing to injury. He did get a surprising 50% target per route run for a sub-optimal 1.50 yards per route run. Wicks is reportedly week to week so you may have to be a pit patient to see if he’ll re-emerge onto the fantasy landscape. Zay Flowers: Flowers was featured in Week 6 running 97% of the team’s routes and earning a 31% targets per route run metric while delivering 4.55 yards per route run. For the week, Flowers delivered nine catches for 132 scoreless yards. Another solid fantasy day for Flowers. Flowers is having a secondary breakout season in his sophomore campaign. Jaxon Smith-Njigba: JSN continues to float around the start line in dual flex leagues. He secured 21% targets per route run while running 81% of the routes. His 1.23 yards per route run was unencouraging. His fantasy day of five receptions for 53 yards and no touchdowns on nine targets gives fantasy managers an
Injury Report: Week 7
Injury Report: Week 7 The bad news is we had yet another round of impactful fantasy football injuries. However, the good news is that some of the players we’ve been missing are nearing a return. Our Injury Report: Week 7 catches you up on the latest fantasy-relevant injury news. Also, a great starting point for staying updated on the latest injuries is to bookmark our NFL Injury Report. Finally, FullTime Fantasy Members will get the latest NFL injury news and advice live each Sunday and Thursday in the FullTime Fantasy Discord. Click below to join us today! James Cook (RB) Buffalo Bills – A sneaky toe injury caused Cook to be inactive on Monday. In his absence, Ray Davis put up 152 scrimmage yards. There’s a good chance the Bills try to lighten Cook’s load and give Davis more opportunities moving forward. We will monitor Cook’s practice participation all week. Marvin Harrison Jr. (WR) Arizona Cardinals – Harrison suffered a concussion early in Arizona’s Week 6 loss. He still must clear the league’s concussion protocol. This typically takes around eight days, so his Week 7 status is doubtful. Aaron Jones (RB) Minnesota Vikings – Good news for Jones and the Vikings coming out of their Week 6 bye. Aaron Jones returned to practice Monday and looked good. Therefore, we expect him to suit up in Week 7. And even better news for Minnesota, TE T.J. Hockenson was also seen at practice. The club opened Hockenson’s 21-day window, so it appears his return is imminent. Vikings practicing today, light session out of the bye week. T.J. Hockenson and Dalton Risner both participating while still on I.R. Aaron Jones (hip) here, too, with a helmet. pic.twitter.com/YnASfTeXtI — Andrew Krammer (@Andrew_Krammer) October 14, 2024 Jonathan Taylor (RB) Indianapolis Colts – Taylor has now missed two games with a high-ankle sprain. He could return in Week 7 or 8. Rachaad White (RB) Tampa Bay Buccaneers – After Sean Tucker’s performance, Rachaad White’s days as Tampa’s lead back are probably over. White sat last week with a mid-foot injury only so have Tucker and Bucky Irving both have strong performances. We’re expecting the Bucs to utilize a three-man backfield moving forward. Therefore, White is only an RB3/flex option when he returns, which could be Week 7 or Week 8. Chris Olave (WR) New Orleans Saints – An early concussion also forced Olave to miss most of Week 6. Additionally, with the Saints playing on Thursday, Olave will miss Week 7. Rashid Shaheed (WR) New Orleans Saints – Another blow for the injury-ravaged Saints. Shaheed injured his knee in the fourth quarter. There is concern that Shaheed will miss “some time.” That leaves the Saints very thin on short rest. Bub Means becomes an intriguing waiver wire target. Travis Etienne (RB) Jacksonville Jaguars – Etienne is projected to miss 2-3 weeks with a hamstring injury. Therefore, it’s officially Tank #SZN in Jacksonville, or rather London this Sunday. Tyjae Spears (RB) Tennessee Titans – Similar to Travis Etienne, Spears is projected to miss multiple games with a fairly significant hamstring ailment. This solidifies Tony Pollard as a strong RB2 with weekly RB1 upside. Nick Chubb (RB) Cleveland Browns – Chubb is expected to make his 2024 debut after missing more than a year with a devastating knee injury. However, teammate Jerome Ford will not play with a hamstring injury. Ford’s absence puts Chubb in a position to lead the backfield right away. Jordan Mason (RB) San Francisco – Mason exited Thursday’s game with a shoulder injury. However, he did return to take one second-half handoff before leaving. With the extra three days to recover, Mason is in a better position to be ready to play, as it’s a pain tolerance issue. Christian McCaffrey is also getting closer to playing, which will all but destroy Mason’s value. Cooper Kupp (WR) Los Angeles Rams – Some positive news for a change. Rams’ superstar wideout Cooper Kupp returned to practice and is trending toward a return. However, teammate Puka Nacua is not expected to return for another week or two. #Rams WR Cooper Kupp, attempting to return from a high-ankle sprain, had a positive workout today and his return this week is at least possible, sources say. The next step is to see when he practices and how it goes. The team will gather more info, but today presented good news. pic.twitter.com/hX6ZmoI3ex — Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) October 15, 2024 Anthony Richardson (QB) Indianapolis Colts – A surprise inactive late Sunday, Richardson (oblique) is expected to return in Week 7. Malik Nabers (WR) New York Giants – Nabers has now missed two games with a concussion. However, there is optimism that he will suit up in Week 7. We will update his practice participation throughout the week. Taysom Hill (TE) New Orleans Saints – Hill (rib) returned to a limited practice session on Monday. His return would be a boost for the Saints. Dontayvion Wicks (WR) Green Bay Packers – Expected to miss 1-2 weeks with a shoulder injury. Gus Edwards (RB) Los Angeles Chargers – Edwards was placed on IR with a knee injury. He will be out for a minimum of four games. Ricky Pearsall (WR) San Francisco 49ers – San Francisco opened the 21-day practice window for Pearsall. Matthew Wright (PK) San Francisco 49ers – One week after losing Jake Moody, the Niners had to sign Anders Carlson to replace their replacement. Wright hurt his shoulder trying to make a tackle. Carlson hasn’t been good. However, he is a solid streaming option for a San Fran offense that leads the NFL in kicking points. ENTER OUR WEEK 7 DRAFT CONTEST!

Now it’s getting scary. Week 7 is firmly the middle of the season. This is another reminder of how fast fantasy football goes by. Whether you’re 1-6 or 7-0, it’s time to reinforce those rosters to make the postseason push. Our Waiver Wire: Week 7 has the latest batch of players to target.
Along with knowing who to pick up, FullTime Fantasy‘s Matchup Analyzer Tool will help you get the most out of your lineup.
Here are the low-rostered players you should consider adding before Week 7.
Week 7 BYES: Chicago Bears, Dallas Cowboys
Ty Chandler (RB) Minnesota Vikings – Because the Vikings were off this week we have not gotten updates on Aaron Jones. If Jones can play, Chandler loses a lot of luster. However, if Jones is out, Chandler has a clear path to a 15-20-touch role in Week 7. Granted, that comes against the Lions’ top-ranked run defense. But being a to procure a starting running back, even for a week, makes Chandler worth a sizable FAAB bid.
Juju Smith-Shuster (WR) Kansas City Chiefs – It’s possible Smith-Schuster slipped off the radar last week since…

Fantasy Football Start ‘Em Sit ‘Em Week 6
Fantasy Football Start ‘Em Sit ‘Em Week 6 The year of the injuries strikes again. And making matters worse, Week 6 is a rough bye-week slate with the Chiefs, Rams, Dolphins, and Vikings unavailable. Our Fantasy Football Start ‘Em Sit ‘Em Week 6 will help you dig deep to find the optimal starts and sits to consider. Subsequently, our Fantasy Football Start ‘Em Sit ‘Em Week 6 will help you navigate that turbulence to pick a winning lineup this week. Additionally, FullTime Fantasy has some of the top tools of the trade and accurate rankings. Quarterbacks Start ‘Em Justin Fields (Pittsburgh Steelers) at Las Vegas Raiders Fields has kicked off this season in impressive form, sitting 11th among quarterbacks with 18.1 fantasy points per game. The Raiders play man coverage at the eighth-highest rate in the league and have struggled against deep throws, allowing a 53.7% completion rate on such passes, the seventh-highest in the NFL. They’ve also forced incompletions on just 11.1% of those plays, ranking among the worst in the league. Fields has been great against man coverage this season. Caleb Williams (Chicago Bears) vs. Jacksonville Jaguars Williams is coming off his best game yet, posting 304 yards and two touchdowns through the air while adding 34 yards on the ground, finishing with 23.6 fantasy points against Carolina. He faces a fantastic matchup against a Jaguars defense that has given up more fantasy points per game to quarterbacks than any other team. Though the game being in London might cause a little hesitation, Williams’ form and this juicy matchup make him a strong play. Sit ‘Em Aaron Rodgers (New York Jets) at Buffalo Bills Rodgers is only a starting consideration in Superflex or two-quarterback leagues this week against the Bills. The Jets are in a bit of chaos after firing head coach Robert Saleh, and while that could pay off down the line, it’s not likely to help Rodgers much in this tough matchup. Buffalo has been stingy, allowing only one quarterback to top 17 fantasy points this season. Rodgers himself has only passed 19 points once this year, and his recent performances against Denver and Minnesota have combined for just 27 points. Trevor Lawrence (Jacksonville Jaguars) at Chicago Bears Lawrence just had his best game of the season with 371 passing yards and two touchdowns against the Colts, but that performance says more about Indy’s defense than it does about Lawrence. In his other four games, he’s averaged just 182 yards and 12.2 fantasy points per game. The Bears defense has given up the fewest fantasy points to quarterbacks, with only two passing touchdowns allowed and six interceptions. Running Backs Start ‘Em Chase Brown (Cincinnati Bengals) at New York Giants Chase Brown’s potential is climbing, especially if Zack Moss (ankle) sits out against the Giants this week. Moss missed Wednesday’s practice. That is a positive sign for Brown’s opportunity. Brown has shown what he’s capable of over the past two games, racking up at least 15 touches in each contest and scoring at least 16 PPR points both times. Three running backs have already managed to score at least 13 PPR points against the Giants this season. Even if Moss plays, Brown is emerging as a key figure in the Bengals’ backfield and could be taking control for good. Chuba Hubbard (Carolina Panthers) vs. Atlanta Falcons Since Andy Dalton took over as the Panthers’ quarterback, Hubbard has become a top-seven fantasy running back for three consecutive weeks. His value will dip significantly once Jonathon Brooks returns to the lineup, but Brooks hasn’t started practicing yet, so it’s unlikely he’ll be active this week. The Panthers have the third-best matchup for running backs this week, as they go up against a vulnerable Atlanta Falcons defense. Sit ‘Em Jerome Ford (Cleveland Browns) at Philadelphia Eagles Ford has delivered at least 15 PPR points in two games this season, but he’s also failed to crack 10 points in three other contests, including last week’s game against Washington. Nick Chubb’s status for Week 6 is still up in the air, but if Chubb doesn’t play, Ford will get the start. That said, his matchup against the Eagles is a tough one, as Philadelphia has only given up one touchdown to a running back this season. I suggested Ford as a start last week, not this time. Rico Dowdle (Dallas Cowboys) vs. Detroit Lions It’s tempting to chase Dowdle after his 20-point fantasy explosion last week but don’t be fooled. The Cowboys running back benefited from a favorable, rain-soaked game against the Steelers where he had 22 touches. However, this week, he faces the Lions, who have been the stingiest team in the league against running backs, allowing the fewest rushing and receiving yards to the position. Zeke has also been a squeaky wheel about getting red zone touches so Rico could see less work in that area moving forward. Wide Receivers Start ‘Em Darnell Mooney (Atlanta Falcons) at Carolina Panthers Mooney has been outstanding this season, and Week 6 presents another prime opportunity as he faces the Panthers. He has posted at least 14 PPR points in three of his last four games, including a massive Week 5 performance against Tampa Bay, where he notched nine catches for 105 yards and two touchdowns on 16 targets. Carolina has already allowed six receivers to score at least 17.5 PPR points this season. On the road against the Panthers’ defense, Mooney will continue his hot streak. Diontae Johnson (Carolina Panthers) vs. Atlanta Falcons Johnson has been a reliable fantasy asset, ranking ninth in points among wide receivers since Andy Dalton took over at quarterback. After struggling last week against Jaylon Johnson, one of the league’s top cornerbacks, he now faces A.J. Terrell, who is far less daunting with the 48th-ranked coverage grade among cornerbacks. Johnson is in a good position to bounce back. Sit ‘Em Christian Kirk (Jacksonville Jaguars) at Chicago Bears Kirk has been heavily involved in recent weeks, but with

Week 6 Sleepers & Emerging Players
Week 6 Sleepers, Potential-Emergent Players, and Opportunistic Plays This article is contributed by Brad Kruse This column is NOT intended to provide Week 6 waiver claims lists. Instead, the purpose is to look at young players whose opportunity could emerge and should be monitored. I will also look at potential injury replacement players, but I will try not to focus on the obvious choices for this week’s slate of games as that is covered elsewhere on the sight. My goal is to help look around corners for the season which might give some ideas for pre-emptive adds to your roster. Now that we have five weeks in the books, I can start extrapolating on statistics more reliably. Young Running Backs and Their Opportunity Status Chase Brown: Brown again outperformed Zack Moss on the ground in week 5. Moss also got injured and is uncertain if he’ll play in week 6 right now. Brown’s opportunity is here to grow his market share of opportunities in the running game for the Bengals. Carson Steele: Steele received some short yardage work for the Chiefs in Week 5, but Hunt took over the rushing role with Samaje Perine mixed in on third downs and in the 2-minute offense. Braelon Allen: The Jets’ rushing attack has stalled the last two weeks. They need to figure out why these two elite running backs behind a seemingly improved offensive line can’t generate yards and the line can’t open up rushing lanes. Roschon Johnson: Johnson scored on two short-yardage rushing plays this week. He’s far behind D’Andre Swift in the offense which has shifted to using Swift in the passing game where his skill set is best used. Johnson could be a spot starter for you with his role but don’t expect huge fantasy days. Jaylen Wright: Raheem Mostert returned in Week 5, but Achane went out with an injury. Wright led the backfield in rushing with 86 yards. His numbers seem to improve each week and he had 6.6 yards per carry in week 5. We’ll see if Achane can return during week 6 and what role Wright will have in the backfield. I’m anxious to see how he’s used and how he performs when Tua returns to the QB position here. Tank Bigsby: Bigsby is playing great this year. He had 13 carries for 101 yards on the ground including 2 TDs. His 7.8 yards per carry is eye-opening. He also had one catch for 28 yards. There are rumors that the Jags have put Travis Etienne on the trade block. If Etienne were to be traded, Bigsby would get a huge usage lift. Young Breakout Receivers Second-Year Players Jayden Reed: Week 5 saw Reed run 75% of the routes and collect 4 receptions for 78 scoreless yards. He added two carries for 19 yards rushing. Reed’s six targets represented a 27% targets per route run performance which is what you want for your starting receivers. His 3.55 yards per route run was elite. Adding a touchdown to his performance would have been nicer, of course, but the advanced metrics continue to point to Reed being a player you want in re-draft and dynasty. Rashee Rice: We now have the results of the preliminary surgery, and it sounds like Rice has a six-month recovery ahead of him, but the prognosis for him to return to form is good. Unfortunately, it looks like we now are on suspension watch for 2025 with Rice as his 2024 time is done. Dontayvion Wicks: Wicks did not put in a fantasy day to remember to write home about, but his underlying metrics were strong. He didn’t get to the coveted 70% route participation rate; he came in at 62%. He did have a 33% targets per route run. Unfortunately, he only caught two of the targets as he leads the receivers in drops so far this year. That yielded a disappointing 1.11 yards per route run performance. He’s getting open, he needs to correct those drops to become a staple in people’s lineups. Zay Flowers: Flowers delivered in week 5 running 85% of the routes while earning a 30% targets per route run metric and 2.78 yards per route run. These are all solid numbers that contributed to his seven-catch, 111-yard day. Flowers is likely a matchup play based on expected game script. Against teams that the Ravens will likely attack with Derrick Henry and the running game, Flowers’ output might be muted. But, if they are likely to be more pass-heavy, Flowers is the focal point of the attack. Jaxon Smith-Njigba: JSN delivered four receptions for 31 yards and a TD vs the Giants in Week 5. He only achieved a 16% targets per route run and 0.72 yards per route run. The TD saved his fantasy day. There will be better matchups for JSN going forward. Jordan Addison: The Vikings struggled against the Jets in London. Addison only managed three receptions for 38 yards on eight targets. He participated in 91.6% of the routes and earned a 25% targets per route run rating. Unfortunately, the Jets held him to 1.06 yards per target. The Jets have potentially the top pair of cornerbacks in the league. Better days will come. Josh Downs: Downs flourished with Joe Flacco under center. He was third on the team with a 68% route participation and earned a 35% TPRR rating. He delivered a strong 2.03 yards per route run performance on nine receptions for 69 yards. Adonai Mitchell: Mitchell is a good dynasty asset, but is currently buried on the depth chart in Indy. With Anthony Richardson at QB, there isn’t the volume. But, Mitchell may eventually fight his way into a stronger share of routes and if QB play is more traditional, his underlying metrics are tough to ignore. In Week 5, he had 58% targets per route run and 3.18 yards per route run. Unfortunately, he only ran 24% of the routes. Demario Douglas: Douglas was second to Polk with a

Injury Report: Week 6
Injury Report: Week 6 The latest crop of injuries included the NFL’s leading receiver and other notable fantasy contributors. 2024 will be remembered as the Injurypocalypse. Our Injury Report: Week 6 catches you up on the latest and how it impacts fantasy football for this week and beyond. Also, a great starting point for staying updated on the latest injuries is to bookmark our NFL Injury Report. Finally, FullTime Fantasy Members will get the latest NFL injury news and advice live each Sunday and Thursday in the FullTime Fantasy Discord. Click below to join us today! Nico Collins (WR) Houston Texans – Fantasy’s top wideout is week-to-week. Collins injured his hamstring after reeling in a long TD grab against the Bills. Unfortunately, hamstring injuries tend to linger, so we don’t expect Collins to be active in Week 6. Aaron Jones (RB) Minnesota Vikings – Jones is week-to-week with a hip injury. The Vikings have a Week 6 bye, so that gives Jones two full weeks to recover. However, a proactive waiver wire add of Ty Chandler makes sense for Jones managers. Travis Etienne (RB) Jacksonville Jaguars – A nagging shoulder ailment caused Etienne to be sidelined at the end of Jacksonville’s win. This helped lead directly to Tank Bigsby’s breakout performance. Also, it could result in Bigsby commanding more touches, leading to a split backfield. A.J. Brown & DeVonta Smith (WR) Philadelphia Eagles – Following their Week 5 bye, the Eagles are expected to have both of their top wideouts back for this week’s home game against the Browns. De’Von Achane (RB) Miami Dolphins – Achane suffered a concussion early in Miami’s Week 5 victory in New England. He must clear the league’s concussion protocol before he can return. That typically takes 1-2 weeks. Our early lean is to expect Achane to miss Week 6. Evan Engram (TE) Jacksonville Jaguars – Engram was “close” to returning last week. However, he sat out for one more week. Doug Pederson opined that Engram is likely to suit up in Week 6. Derek Carr (QB) New Orleans Saints – Carr left Monday’s loss with an oblique injury. Initial reports indicate the diagnosis is “not good.” UPDATE: Carr will miss multiple weeks. That puts Jake Haener or Spencer Rattler under center for the fading Saints. Sources to me and @RapSheet: #Saints QB Derek Carr is expected to miss multiple games with an oblique injury he suffered against the #Chiefs. New Orleans has two games in the next nine days, and the likelihood is Carr misses Sun vs. the #Buccaneers and Thurs vs. the #Broncos. pic.twitter.com/njLCXJuSA6 — Mike Garafolo (@MikeGarafolo) October 8, 2024 Davante Adams (WR) Las Vegas Raiders – Absent with a “hamstring injury,” don’t expect Adams back in Week 6. I think Adams has played his final down with the Raiders and expect him to be dealt. Joe Mixon (RB) Houston Texans – A sprained ankle still hampers Mixon. DeMeco Ryans told the Houston media that Mixon’s status for Week 6 is up in the air. Therefore, we will have to monitor his practice participation all week. For now, consider Mixon unlikely to play. Rashee Rice (WR) Kansas City Chiefs – Rice underwent successful LCL surgery on Tuesday. His 2024 season is over. Zack Moss (RB) Cincinnati Bengals – Per NBC Sports, Moss avoided a major ankle injury and is “believed to be ok.” We’ll monitor his practice participation. But for now, it is good news. Khalil Shakir (WR) Buffalo Bills – Shakir is day-to-day with an ankle injury that forced him to miss Week 5. David Njoku (TE) Cleveland Browns – After missing three games with an ankle injury, Njoku was limited to just 26 snaps before exiting Week 5 with a knee injury. That makes Njoku highly unlikely to suit up this week. Xavier Legette (WR) Carolina Panthers – Legette injured his shoulder in the second quarter of Week 5. He did not return. However, the injury is not serious. Will Levis (QB) Tennessee Titans – Levis had a week off to heal his AC joint injury. For now, we’re expecting Levis to be under center this week. However, that does NOT mean he’s a recommended play. Jake Moody (PK) San Francisco 49ers – Moody will miss multiple weeks with a high-ankle sprain.
