The Facts: Christian McCaffrey will be out for Week 7 with a high-ankle sprain. Reported by Twitter.com

Diehards Line: This isn't a surprise as the Panthers appear set to rest McCaffrey for as long as they need to be sure he runs no risk of re-injury. The report added that he could return in Week 8. Keep playing Mike Davis as an RB1 in all formats.

The Facts: Diontae Johnson will practice on Wednesday according to Steelers coach Mike Tomlin. Reported by Twitter.com

Diehards Line: This bodes well for his odds of playing in Week 7. Johnson wasn't played a full game since Week 2 and missed Week 6 with a back injury. Chase Claypool broke out with Johnson on the mend but his return shouldn't hurt Claypool. Expect JuJu Smith-Schuster and James Washington to struggle in a healthy Pittsburgh receiver room.

The Facts: Tua Tagovailoa was announced as the starter for Miami in Week 8. Reported by Twitter.com

Diehards Line: The Dolphins have a bye this week so Tua will get an extra week of practice before facing the Rams in Week 8. He's worth a stash in all formats if you can find the roster space. He was a prolific passer at Alabama and added some value with this legs. Expect the Miami fantasy options to remain up and down as the team enters the Tua era.

The Facts: John Ross has requested a trade from the Bengals. Reported by Twitter.com

Diehards Line: The Bengals have kept Ross inactive in most games since Week 2 and are clearly moving on from him after the season. Ross wants to get a head start on performing for a new team in hopes of finding a multi-year contract in 2021. It's unlikely that many teams come knocking before the November 3rd deadline.

The Facts: Raheem Mostert is expected to land on injured reserve with a high ankle sprain. Reported by Twitter.com

Diehards Line: Jerick McKinnon will likely operate as the leading back for San Francisco until Tevin Coleman or Moster returns. Jeff Wilson was a late scratch prior to Week 6 as well. JaMycal Hasty could also see an uptick in touches if all three backs are unable to suit up.

The Facts: Mark Ingram suffered an ankle injury in Week 6 and head coach John Harbaugh says he has a chance to play in Week 8. Reported by Twitter.com

Diehards Line: The Ravens get their bye next week so Ingram will get extra rest before a decision needs to be made on Ingram. He's been relegated to a committee with Gus Edwards and J.K. Dobbins through six weeks. Ingram is nothing more than a touchdown-dependent RB3 if he does play.

The Facts: Jonnu Smith is considered questionable for Week 7 with a minor ankle sprain. Reported by Twitter.com

Diehards Line: Smith would be a low-end TE1 if he's able to play. He's thrived on fluky touchdown production this year but Ryan Tannehill isn't showing any signs of slowing his touchdown pace this year. That should help Smith find the end zone more than most players. Anthony Firkser would step in as the starting tight end if Smith does miss Week 7. He's worth a speculative add in deeper leagues.

The Facts: Miles Sanders is not expected to play in Week 7 due to a knee injury. Reported by Twitter.com

Diehards Line: The Eagles face the Giants on Thursday in one of the few games they may be able to win this year. The short week was enough to rule Sanders out though. That puts Boston Scott in line to earn a majority of the work in Philly. He's one of the premier adds off the waiver wire this week.

The Facts: Zach Ertz is expected to miss 3-4 weeks with an ankle injury. Reported by Twitter.com

Diehards Line: Ertz is averaging four yards per target making his high-volume role useless for fantasy purposes. He can safely be cut in all leagues now. Richard Rodgers will get the start at tight end and is worth a streaming consideration for desperate teams. Dallas Goedert is won't play this week but is worth a stash for the coming weeks.

The Facts: Raheem Mostert has been ruled out from returning in Week 6 due to an ankle injury. Reported by Twitter.com

Diehards Line: The 49ers are also without Jeff Wilson tonight so Jerick McKinnon and JaMycal Hasty will take over lead-back duties for now. McKinnon previously owned that role while Mostert dealt with a knee injury in recent weeks. He'd be a fringe RB1 if both Wilson and Mostert miss time.
