Does Damien Williams play week 7?

UPDATE: ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported on Saturday night that Williams is should play against Tampa.

Williams (COVID) was activated from the COVID / reserve list on Saturday and should be active on Sunday against the Bucs. Because he’s missed practice most of the past two weeks, it’s possible the Bears will leave Williams on the sidelines, but we expect him to adjust and at least share RB’s chores with Khalil. Herbert.

It’s unclear how the Bears will use their RBs against the league’s best defense. Williams is expected to serve as the Bears’ main return, and given the Buccaneers are big favorites, he could see a lot of work in the second half. We still like him as a flexible back, especially in the PPR leagues, but if possible that’s a situation to be avoided.

Does Antonio Gibson play week 7?

UPDATE: ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported on Saturday night that Gibson is should play against Green Bay.

UPDATE 2: Gibson is officially ACTIVE.

Despite limping in and out of last week’s game, Gibson (shin) was on the same training regimen as usual this week, missing on Wednesday but having limited sessions on Thursday and Friday. It would be a surprise if he is inactive against the Packers.

Gibson is a bit riskier than usual, as it looks like his shin disease is getting worse. Take into account that Green Bay is expected to win big, creating more transmission chances for JD McKissic, and Gibson is not a reliable game. However, with all the byes and other injuries this week, you can’t sit Gibson down if he’s active. McKissic is a high end flex in PPR leagues and could even be used in standard leagues if Gibson is active. If Gibson is a surprise scratch, McKissic would upgrade to a high-end RB2 in PPR and a low-end RB2 as standard. Jaret Patterson would also see a few races, but it would be difficult to trust him in both formats.

STANDARD RANKING FOR WEEK 7:
quarterback | Back | Wide receiver | Tight end | D / ST | Kicker

Does Andre Swift play in week 7?

Swift (groin) is again “questionable” despite practice on a limited basis throughout the week. He’s not really likely to miss Sunday’s late afternoon game against the Rams.

It often takes a while for Swift to really get going, but the good news is that the Lions should see plenty of opportunities again while falling behind in the second half. Think of Swift as a top-of-the-line RB2. If he has a backhand and is a surprise scratch, Jamaal Williams would be an RB2 in all formats.

Does Sony Michel play in week 7?

Michel (shoulder) is officially “questionable” for Sunday’s late afternoon game against Detroit, but coach Sean McVay has previously said Michel is should play.

Considering the game and all the key RBs, you can try Michel as a flex in the standard leagues, but Darrell Henderson is clearly the leader in that backfield.
