Alex Bachman WR | LV
Raiders' Alex Bachman: Gets questionable tag
Bachman (ankle) is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's game at Kansas City.
Bachman popped up on the Raiders' injury report Thursday with an ankle issue, and now his status for Week 7 is up in the air. If he's not able to suit up Sunday, it could open the door a bit wider for 2023 fifth-rounder Justin Shorter to mix in for a few snaps at receiver.

Darnell Mooney WR | ATL
Falcons' Darnell Mooney: On track to play?
Falcons coach Raheem Morris said Friday that he's "feeling good" about Mooney (hamstring) playing in Sunday's game at San Francisco, D. Orlando Ledbetter of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
Mooney didn't practice Friday after limited participation the previous two days, but it sounds like that was part of a plan and not indicative of a setback. Fantasy managers would still be wise to consider the wideout uncertain ahead of Sunday's 8:20 p.m. ET kickoff, with Mooney yet to log a full practice since injuring his hamstring Week 4.

Jacob Cowing WR | SF
49ers' Jacob Cowing: Progressing in recovery
Head coach Kyle Shanahan said Friday that Cowing (hamstring) is "getting close" to returning from injured reserve, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
The 2024 fourth-rounder pulled his hamstring during training camp in late July, and the injury was severe enough for Cowing to start the regular season on injured reserve. He would be eligible to return to practice once the 49ers designate him to return from IR, which could happen as soon as next week leading up to the 49ers' Week 8 clash against the Texans on Sunday, Oct. 26.

Christian Kirk WR | HOU
Texans' Christian Kirk: Added to injury report
Kirk (hamstring) was limited at practice Friday.
Kirk wasn't listed on Thursday's initial injury report, so his addition a day later is notable. Added context regarding his status will arrive no later than Saturday when the Texans post their Week 7 injury designations ahead of Monday night's game against the Seahawks. If Kirk is limited or out versus Seattle, Xavier Hutchinson, Jayden Higgins and Jaylin Noel would be candidates to absorb added snaps alongside top WR Nico Collins.

Jonathan Mingo WR | DAL
Cowboys' Jonathan Mingo: Chance to play Week 7
Mingo (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Commanders, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.
Mingo ended the week strong with a full practice Friday, and the third-year wideout has a chance to make his 2025 debut Sunday. Even if he does return, Mingo would likely work in a rotational role in the Cowboys' offense, given that CeeDee Lamb (ankle) and KaVontae Turpin (foot) have both been cleared to play in Sunday's NFC East tilt.

Jakobi Meyers WR | LV
Raiders' Jakobi Meyers: Questionable after limited practice
Meyers (knee/toe) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Chiefs after returning to a limited practice Friday.
Meyers didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday, but his return to a limited session Friday is a positive indicator heading into the weekend. Fortunately for those considering Meyers in Week 7 fantasy lineups, the Raiders kick off at 1:00 p.m. ET on Sunday. If Meyers ends up being limited or ruled out this weekend, Jack Bech, Dont'e Thornton and Alex Bachman (ankle) -- if he's available -- could see added opportunities versus Kansas City alongside fellow WR Tre Tucker.

Derius Davis WR | LAC
Chargers' Derius Davis: Could play vs. Indianapolis
Davis (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Colts, Eric Smith of the Chargers' official site reports.
Davis has been sidelined for the Chargers' last three games due to a knee injury. He was limited in practice all week, and his status for Week 7 may not be known until the Chargers announce their list of inactive players approximately 90 minutes before Sunday's 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff. The 2023 fourth-rounder was primarily deployed on special teams as a returner prior to his injury, and those duties would likely be handled by rookie fifth-rounder KeAndre Lambert-Smith and practice squad running back Nyheim Hines if Davis is not cleared to return.
-
Ricky Pearsall WR | SF
49ers' Ricky Pearsall: Won't play this week
Pearsall (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Falcons, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.
He didn't practice this week due to a PCL injury in his right knee and thus appears in serous danger of missing another game when the 49ers travel to Houston in Week 8. Jauan Jennings and Kendrick Bourne are San Francisco's top wide receivers with Pearsall out of action yet again.
-
Jauan Jennings WR | SF
49ers' Jauan Jennings: Dodges injury designation
Jennings (ankle/rib/shoulder) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Falcons, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.
He'll play for a second straight week, but Jennings is tough to trust in fantasy after getting just three targets last Sunday at Tampa Bay and then saying afterward that he's playing through five cracked ribs, among other injuries. He did take 77 percent of San Francisco's snaps on offense, and there's potential for a similar rate (or higher) Week 7, with Ricky Pearsall (knee) still out and Marquez Valdes-Scantling (calf) now on injured reserve.

Dontayvion Wicks WR | GB
Packers' Dontayvion Wicks: Deemed questionable for Week 7
Wicks (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Bo Brack of PHNX Sports reports.
Wicks was limited in all three of Green Bay's practices leading up to Sunday's clash with Arizona. If he's healthy, he should operate as Green Bays No. 3 wide receiver behind Romeo Doubs and Matthew Golden with Christian Watson (knee) still on the reserve/PUP list.
