In Week 7 of the NFL season, injuries are once again taking center stage as fantasy football owners scramble to make last-minute lineup decisions. With only two teams on bye this week, the injury report is packed with key players who are either out or questionable for their upcoming games.
Starting with kickers, the 49ers’ Jake Moody and Matthew Wright are both sidelined with injuries, paving the way for Anders Carlson to step in as the team’s placekicker. Meanwhile, the Cardinals’ Matt Prater has been placed on injured reserve, opening the door for Chad Ryland to handle kicking duties in Monday night’s game.
On the defensive side of the ball, several key players are dealing with injuries that could impact their availability for Week 7. Cornerbacks like Carlton Davis, Jamel Dean, and L’Jarius Sneed are all either questionable or out for their respective games. Safeties like Grant Delpit and Justin Simmons are also dealing with injuries, while defensive linemen like Aidan Hutchinson and A’Shawn Robinson are sidelined due to various ailments.
Linebackers are not immune to the injury bug either, with players like Micah Parsons, Joey Bosa, and Jadeveon Clowney all dealing with injuries that could keep them out of action. Fantasy football owners will need to monitor these situations closely and adjust their lineups accordingly to ensure they have the best chance of success in Week 7.
As we head into the weekend, it’s clear that injuries will once again play a significant role in determining the outcome of fantasy matchups. With so many key players either sidelined or questionable, fantasy football owners will need to stay vigilant and make smart lineup decisions to maximize their chances of coming out on top in Week 7.
