Fantasy Impact: Pickett was forced from the Steelers game early in Week 6 due to a concussion. It sounds like he is on track to clear protocols by this weekend where Mike Tomlin said Pickett would remain the starter if he is fully healthy.

Fantasy Impact: Prescott was able to return to practice on Wednesday and it sounds like he is on track to being able to return this weekend against the Lions. After a hot start from Cooper Rush, he figures to go back to the bench barring any setbacks from Prescott.

Fantasy Impact: Dobbins is still managing discomfort and pain on the knee that forced him to miss all of last season. He didn’t practice today, and that may be a negative sign for is availability in Week 7. Kenyan Drake would be the clear-cut RB1 for this team if Dobbins can’t go Sunday.
Marquise Brown (foot) to miss ‘at least’ one month
Marquise Brown will be out at least a month with his foot injury, per Kliff Kingsbury. (Source: Ari Meirov on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact: That timetable comes after he got a second opinion. The return of DeAndre Hopkins can’t be any better timing for the Cardinals. It sounds like Brown could return by the end of November barring any setbacks.
