Injuries suck, but they are a part of professional sports. Of course, they’re also part of fantasy sports and betting. In both instances, they can be the difference between wins and losses on a weekly basis.
As a fantasy football manager, you’ll need to know which players are in and which are out. We’re here to help you keep a tab on all of the important ones.
The injury report is long, once again. Some players have already been ruled out while others are going to be game-time decisions.
Here’s the rundown of who’s in, who’s out and who you’ll need to monitor in the NFL’s Week 7.
RB J.K. Dobbins - Baltimore Ravens
The return from ACL injury was great, but another knee issue is going to sideline Dobbins for at least a month.
Ravens’ standout RB J.K. Dobbins is expected to undergo arthroscopic knee surgery next week that would sideline him 4-6 weeks, per sources.

QB Dak Prescott - Dallas Cowboys
For the first time since Week 1, Dak is back on the field and starting. At least, he thinks he is.
Dak Prescott concluded his first full workload of #Cowboys practice since suffering the fractured thumb, but is he starting vs. the #Lions?
“I am.”

QB Russell Wilson - Denver Broncos
Russell Wilson has not cooked all season long and will not cook Sunday as he’ll be on the sideline with a hamstring injury.

RB D'Andre Swift - Detroit Lions
There’s a chance Swift could make his return from injury, but nothing yet is confirmed.
RB D'Andre Swift says he's pushing towards playing Sunday, but taking it day by day with shoulder/ankle injuries trending the right way.
Shoulder has been giving him a harder time as of late. Was practicing today which is a great sign #Lions

RB Jonathan Taylor - Indianapolis Colts
Per NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, Taylor is good to go after missing the past two weeks.
#Colts RB Jonathan Taylor (ankle) and Nyheim Hines (concussion) both have no game status. They will play.

WRs Dyami Brown, Jahan Dotson - Washington Commanders
Dyami Brown will not play. Jahan Dotson gets the “questionable” tag ahead of Week 7.
Game status for Sunday
Out
WR Dyami Brown, CB William Jackson III, TE Logan Thomas, QB Carson Wentz, RB Jonathan Williams.Questionable
TE John Bates, OT Sam Cosmi and WR Jahan Dotson. … Dotson felt better today. Rivera said they'll err on the 'safe side' with Dotson.— John Keim (@john_keim) October 21, 2022
TE Darren Waller - Las Vegas Raiders
The bye week didn’t give Waller enough time to heal all the way up. He’ll miss Week 7’s matchup against the Houston Texans with a hamstring injury.

WRs Joshua Palmer, Keenan Allen - Los Angeles Chargers
Joshua Palmer is out with a concussion, but here’s some optimism regarding Keenan Allen’s status:
Keenan Allen was participating in the red zone walkthrough at the beginning of practice today. Happens every Friday and is usually a good indication of who is/isn’t in the plan for that week. Allen did not participate in this walkthrough last week.

QB Tua Tagovailoa - Miami Dolphins
Tua is poised to play Sunday assuming there are no setbacks. It’ll be his first game since leaving the field in Week 4 with a concussion against the Cincinnati Bengals.
Tua Tagovailoa will go through practice this week as the starter, Dolphins HC Mike McDaniel confirms. Assuming all goes well this week, Tua is expected to start Sunday night vs. Steelers. He had been out since suffering a concussion in Week 4 against Bengals.

WR Tyler Lockett - Seattle Seahawks
Lockett is listed as questionable, but Pete Carroll likes his chances of playing on Sunday.
Pete Carroll says Tyler Lockett's "chances of playing are really good" after resting hamstring this week.
